The games you play

The bright, early morning sun eventually roused the large man from his sleep as it eventually snuck past the lip of the rocky over hang they had managed to stumble into the night before as they fell into each other's arms again. They. The word stuck out in his sleepy thoughts as he gently tightened his forelegs around the warm, lender form tucked against him and a slight grin tugged at his lips as he groggily blinked open his mossy green eyes. He tipped his half-open gaze down to the ball of blue fire pressed into his chest and stomach, memories of the night before slowly filtering through his mind and reminding him of how they had gotten to this point, each thought better than the last.

He held her a bit tighter and nuzzled gently through the fur on the top of her head and back of her neck, his paws tracing up and down her back as she slowly pulled her out of her sleep as well. "Good morning," he rumbled quietly against her ear, a smirk pulling at his muzzle as his teeth gently caught the delicate dark ear and they gently drug across her skin with a quiet, gravely chuckle. The places where her claws had dug into him, both during their fight and afterward, were still sore, but in the most wonderful way that just reminded him of how delightful she had been to be with.
