You Remind Me

There was some kind of relief to her obedience or want for his affection, but also not really as it was something he had expected her to take to. His own quiet exhale as she pushed back into him, breathing back in her scent and looking back up into her eyes she offered him, a lusted and influenced gaze but still somehow genuine. He wanted her, more than he was willing to admit to himself.

The two became a little more comfortable as she leaned back on her side and he moved with her, a paw running across her ribs as he pressed up against her himself. Maybe satisfied enough not to take more than he was already given. Just that partnership if only temporary was enough for him tonight. There wasn’t enough alcohol to push his limits. Though those would extend the more they spent time together.

The crackling of the fire, the feel of her beside him, it made him feel whole and relaxed. It was something he knew he needed and craved. Dropping his head carefully on the stone under them, holding her and pulling her into him. Maybe she could know how much more he wanted. But for now he’d make himself content with the way they were. In a way fantasizing through the subtle ways he showed her affection. And unfortunately he’d be gone by the morning.
