Afterwards Indigo held her closer than he ever had before, or at least it felt that way. Her breathing had been a little labored too, mostly from the loss of her own breath in their moments. She clung to Indigo as he offered himself to her. She was cradled into him as her eyes rose to meet his, matching his content smile as he still admired her in the aftermath. She expected nothing else from him. As maybe inexperienced as Indigo was before he met Duchess, he did know how to love. She figured maybe it was because it was how he wanted to feel. And she tried her best to return the emotions. Even if that was letting others into his life.

Her eyes closed as their foreheads met, and she too met his chuckle with a quiet giggle in return. "Me too." Her claws brushed into his mane a she wiggled into him slowly, she was comfortable here but she still had that dark feeling, a feeling she was starting to get used to pushing back into her mind. As much as she loved Indigo and that he may not have had extremely high expectations in their relationship, she did build the strength of their relationship around sex. It was what Draco expected of her when she couldn't follow through. She hadn't expected Indigo to turn on her had she ever rejected the notion. But she couldn't help that fear of the thought, or get rid of the empty feeling inside her after they spent this time together. She was hiding it well this time at least.

She laid there with Indigo for what felt like forever. Her claws brushing through the rough mane that had been sticky from the ocean, she gentle nibbled at his chest and neck with the same ambition. All of it worthless when they would go back through the sea to get home. Her neck gently leaned back to look back up at him, "We can go explore some more of the island? Find some where to call it a night." She looked around the room a moment, "We could always come back here too."
