Don't Look Through The Curtains

Segin watched Duchess move further into the cavern, following just behind her and letting his gaze turn curiously toward the rocks that she brought him to. His head tipped slightly to the side as confusion touched his features when she told him that the rocks were sweet. He had heard of salt rocks, but sweet ones? She licked one of the rocks as if to prove her point and his own curiosity wouldn't allow him to not join her in tasting the sweet rocks. Sure enough, he gave it a tentative lick and discovered that it really was sweet! He grinned and chuckled, giving a little shake of his head. Just when he thought he had seen everything...

Duchess moved even further into the cave and settled down in one of the dry spots, clearly making herself comfortable for the night. It was getting pretty late and this certainly seemed like as good a place as any to sleep. It was out of the elements and the sound of the waterfall outside was soothing. He came to join her without much thought, laying beside her and smiling as she reached around him to hug herself into his chest, his forelegs wrapping around her as well. They all tended to snuggle together at night anyway so why would this be any different? Plus, without the usual furs and bedding they were used to they would certainly need the extra warmth. He relaxed into her, just happy to have a friend willing to snuggle and cuddle with him.

For a while they laid there in silence with just the sound of the waterfall to fill the air, feeling himself slowly begin to drift toward sleep, but when he felt her shift and lift her head he opened his silver eyes again to look down at her curiously. The look on her face surprised him, but the soft, breathy tone to her voice as she spoke his name surprised him even more. It wasn't really until she tipped her head up to bring her muzzle to he was able to piece it together, his lips connecting with hers lighting that very familiar pull and desire in his core. He knew that most wolves wanted or needed some kind of connection or emotional bond before they slept with one another and while Segin certainly appreciated those things he never really felt like that was something he needed. He just enjoyed the physical affection on its own and enjoyed all the pleasure it brought whether or not he was really close to them.

Even with all of that, this was a complete surprise coming from Duchess, though not an unwelcome one. She was a beautiful woman and Segin enjoyed being around her - he just hadn't realized she'd want to be with anyone other than Indigo so he hadn't considered the possibility. He pressed back into her kiss happily, silver eyes closing while his paws slipped down to rest on her lower back, holding her a little tighter to him in the process. His lips lingered on hers for a long moment before he gently broke away, but he didn't go far. His lips still brushed lightly against hers as a smile pulled at his lips. "How far do you want to go?" he asked softly, heavy lidded eyes finding hers. He would give her whatever she wanted or needed, easily falling back into his old habits.
