stay with me

She didn’t hold onto the tension that had once held tightly to her, she allowed Indigo close to her. Even more she relaxed against him, nuzzling into his fur and pulling her paws through his mane. She was tucked easily against him, and their bodies fit together perfectly sunk into the plush furs and cushions beneath. The light was dim but Indigo’s soft grin was unmistakable as he held her close, feeling a sense of accomplishment as she welcomed him here beside her. Indigo held her like a priceless treasure, in a way she was. She'd been forced to endure so much pressure and strain that life had turned her into an incredible gemstone. A diamond in the rough that could be found with patience and effort. Both of which he believed she deserved.

Her voice was soft as she answered him and Indigo didn’t miss the way her eyes took on a deeper shine, the hint of how deep the emotion behind her eyes really was. Every touch seemed to echo the feeling below the surface and Indigo felt his stomach clench with the desire that built there. He felt the lingering effects of his desperate need for Aslatiel and the deep dark hole that emptied his chest. Emersyn’s every touch and sigh helped to pull him up from the drowning darkness. He gently caressed the back of her head as she looked up to him with her brilliant dual toned eyes. He met her gaze with his own sapphire eyes and he felt a connection that went more than skin deep. The feeling of two souls connected in their sorrow and loss.

Indigo thought he melted when he felt her tongue across his chin, a deep rumble built in his chest as she repeated the action but this time Indigo held her there as he returned her affection with a sweet and careful kiss. Her lips were like candy on his tongue, creating a craving that wasn’t so easily satiated. ”Em,” he breathed against her lips as he pulled her closer, shifting his body against hers as his heartbeat raced in his chest. He didn’t want to push her, but electricity raced over his skin wherever they touched. He indulged in the warm scent of her, and craved the feeling of her.

He didn’t forget the way she trembled though, nor could he ignore the trauma she suffered through, he would be remiss if he wasn’t careful as he held her and pressed forward in his deep affections. He touched a paw to her cheek as he sought her gaze again and leaned forward into another kiss, this one deeper and much more purposeful in his intentions. If she resisted he would stop, he'd found his limit. If she was receptive that was all the urging he needed to fully wrap himself around her to show her how loved she would be in his care.
