Silver Moonlight

While Lillith climbed into bed with him and curled her smaller body up into his, Romulus reflected on her admission that she liked him a lot too. It had been something he'd known for some time now, but it still made his heart miss a beat or two to hear it from her lips. As she got settled in with her back to his chest, Roman draped a foreleg across her side, pulling her slender form tighter to his. They settled in together, his larger body curling protectively around hers. Lillith's warm body and soft fur pressing all over his underside left pleasant tingles across every inch of his skin. Roman gently nuzzled into Lil's scruff, breathing in her sweet scent while they snuggled in the silver moonlight and dark of the quiet room. This was what he had wanted tonight to be like, and he was beyond grateful that they were able to get back to it.

Roman drew in a deep breath, releasing it in a content sigh while his body relaxed into the mattress. The heavy pull of sleep began to tug at his body, Lillith acting as a great treatment for his insomnia. "Goodnight, Lil," he whispered back, nuzzling between her ears as they slowly slipped into the calming embrace of slumber. His last conscious thoughts were of her, reflecting on their first kiss, hearing her sweet voice admitting her crush on him, the feel of holding her body this close to him so intimately, it put the young wolf into a state of pure bliss.

He stayed awake long enough to hear Lillith's breathing deepen into heavy, sleepy breaths to know she had fallen asleep, and then he followed shortly behind her. In a matter of minutes, Romulus fell into a deep, peaceful sleep, holding Lillith next to him for the entire night.
