The view from the slightly taller ledge was even more immaculate. Only a gentle shimmer from the bit of stars above ran over the stone surface of the wall that made bent canyon. She looked up at the trees along the ridges, she imagined the beauty they could have held if the winter from the north hadn't extended to Auster. But she wouldn't let the thought sour her mind, She wanted this night to be perfect, as she wanted all moments with Indigo to be. Leaving Indigo's side in the small cave den, she pulled the pelts and placed them along the floor of the den, the edges moving up along the walls a bit. Her paws flattened the pelt rugs, she left a couple to the side for them had they gotten cold, but she imagined they wouldn't with each other's warmth. Finally she looked back to Indigo, taking a few steps back to welcome him to their resting place for the night. Only when he joined beside her, she placed a paw on his foreleg asking him to lay down so she could cuddle on top of his chest, a position that seemed to work well with her traumatic anxieties. She wouldn't have rejected had he wanted to cuddle with her any other way, there was nothing he could do to make Duchess not want to please him. But once they were comfortable, she faced him, chest to chest, and reached forward for what she came here for. The warmth of their bodies and their kisses, undisturbed by the presence of others in the pack. She pulled back, her eyes fluttered at him while she had a grin still gentle, but much happier than she had ever shown him. The silence around them made her more comfortable, and knowing that Indigo had her safe in his arms was relieving. "What do you... think?" That was his line, wasn't it? She was referring to her set up, not necessarily his feelings. But it all mingled in the same, and she was eager to hear his response. |
