Where There Is Desire

Duchess melted into his fur as they raced forward until they were far away from the dungeons. Indigo already felt guilty about scaring her so badly, he’d gone too far. Indy made sure she would feel safe before he finally came to a stop near the fire in the great hall. They remained motionless for a long moment and Indy very nearly lowered himself to the furs with Duchess on his back. She slipped off and Indy curled his limbs beneath him, bringing her much closer to her height as her bright dual toned eyes returned to his face.

He tried to smile and reassure her, lifting a paw to lower onto one of her own dark paws. ”No, I’m sorry.” He insisted, reaching forward to nuzzle her cheek apologetically. ”It was mostly me just trying to scare you down there. I didn’t mean to take it so far.” He lowered his head even further as he confessed. ”I promise that we don’t have to go back.” Indigo added, wondering if she’d even forgive his trespass.
