Would you take in a stray?

Azzurra was sweet an innocent in ways that he never remembered being, like she had been sheltered from so many of the horrors that he had endured. He knew that the sweet girl had her own difficulties and challenges in life but she held to an innocence that he had a deep desire for. What was most attractive about her was the way she relaxed into his embrace and released all of her anxieties and trepidations. She trusted him completely, and that was priceless gift he would cherish forever.

She didn’t hesitate to answer him while she pressed closer and let him hold to her. She wanted him to be here with her and Erys wouldn’t dream of denying such a request. Not only did she want him, she confessed how much she would love to have him here with her tonight. Azzurra made him grin, he hadn’t ever filled this role for another wolf before, he was never the strong one or the one to be counted on. She looked to him to protect her fragile heart and Erystotle would not let her down.

He could see how tired her eyes were and feel the fatigue in her limbs as she held to him, and yet there were still a few sweet kisses as she trailed up his neck. The corners of his lips pulled back at her affections as she kissed him softly. Erys held her tighter to him, tilting his head so that he could return them, tasting her lips with a brush of his own against hers. "Lets get you into bed,” he whispered softly in return as desire built in his belly. He wanted her, but more than that he wanted to take care of her.

Erys enjoyed their kisses, her touch, how close she was, but if she needed her sleep he would hold her all night. If she needed more than that, if she wanted intimacy, he would love her without reservation.
