A Thousand Rainy Days

Talyssa blinked, a soft gasp escaping her lips as Quill leaned in, closing the space between them. His words were a warm, velvety purr that echoed sweetly in her ears. Her heart pounded like a drum as he moved closer and their lips met. It wasn’t impulsive or forceful, but a gentle exploration that sent her senses spiraling into euphoria. His taste- well, it was intoxicating. His scent, rich and earthy, filled her senses until there was nothing else.

With the exchange of their intimate touch all thoughts fled from Talyssa's mind. The world narrowed down to the sensation of his rough tongue on her own, and she melted into him. His deep growl reverberated through her body, sending shivers down her spine. Everything about him was so tantalizingly raw, so different from what she had ever experienced before. It was certainly not what she had expected - yet at the same time, it was exactly what she needed.

When he pulled away, Talyssa was left panting, her heart pounding fiercely in her chest. His words echoed in her ears, a question hanging between them that could alter … whatever this was- whatever it was going to be. Her cheeks flushed with heat, her breathing heavy as she met his gaze. "Yes," she breathed out, her voice barely above a whisper as she gave him the answer that he had asked for. The word hung between them, drifting into the cold midday air. Talyssa felt fear and thrill in equal measure at the thought of what lay ahead. "Wherever it takes us," she echoed his words, her paw raising to rest against Quill's cheek- to lightly trace the line of his jaw. A gentle touch that strangely contrasted with the wild beating of her heart.
