Spa Day

A grin curled at her lips as Alastor very obviously stoked that side of her that loved the strength and dominance he made her feel, a little rumbling purr of a growl sounding in her chest. While he got settled in the water she took a long draw from the skin of mead, the taste and warmth of it filling her mouth as she drank. She turned her gaze toward him, getting a glimpse of how the water smoothed his fluffy obsidian fur against his toned body and humming with delight as she enjoyed the sight of him. It was as close as she had gotten to really seeing his heavily built muscles since the time after he lost all of his fur and she was already very much enjoying the choice to have him get in the water with her.

She took another quick drink from the mead she was offered before resting it with their other supplies at the edge of the pool and was about to turn toward Alastor—only to have him grab her around her waist and pull her over to him. She grinned and laughed lightly, willingly getting swept up by her husband as he pulled her against him. Manea hummed happily as he as he sat her in front of him with her back to his chest, her paws slipping down to brush along the outsides of his thighs under the water while his traced over her sides and up to her shoulders. She immediately melted under his touch as he started to rub along her shoulders and back, her eyes drifting closed with a pleased rumble in her chest, her head tipping back slightly as he kissed along the back of her neck. "Mmmm that's perfect," she purred, a little grin still lingering on her lips while she enjoyed all this pampering he was spoiling her with.

Alastor always treated her as if she was some kind of goddess and spoiled her as such, which she enjoyed always, but while she was savoring the feeling of the tension in her muscles being melted away by the firm kneading of his paws and the steaming hot water around them she couldn't help but think about how she had very nearly lost all of this. She still wasn't even entirely sure she deserved this much pampering after what she had put him through. If anything she felt like she should be doing all of this for him instead of the other way around. The brith of their second litter had made her think about a lot of things and reconsider even more. It lingered on her mind while she relaxed into him with the silence they rested in, only the gentle sound of the water around them filling the air.

While he massaged her, her own paws traced along his back legs, making a circuit from his outer thighs down nearly to his paw and back again, fiddling and giving him a bit of affection while her mind wandered. After awhile she pulled away from his paws, blinking open her eyes as she turned around to face him, giving him a relaxed grin as her forelegs wound around his neck. She pulled herself into him, straddling his lap while they continued to soak in the hot spring, the warmth doing wonders for her sore muscles. Her paws traced along the back of his neck while she admired his handsome face thoughtfully, one of them slipping up to let her soft toes trace along the edge of his ear. "You're far too good to me," she said softly with a quiet chuckle, brushing her lips against his, her paw moving down from his ear to brush his cheek.
