A Thousand Rainy Days

And act he did. Talyssa watched as Quill rose to his paws, her heartbeat quickening in anticipation. His touch was gentle as he guided her away from the warmth of the fire and towards a soft bed of moss. The coolness of the moss against her back was a sudden contrast to the heat from the fire, but it was quickly overshadowed by the heat that radiated from Quill. His gaze was intense upon her, making her skin tingle with a strange mixture of nervousness and anticipation. There was a certain ferocious tenderness in his eyes that she had never seen before. Despite the raw intensity that emanated from him, Talyssa couldn't help but feel the strange sense of security she felt in his presence.

His silence was deafening in the still night, broken occasionally by the sound of their breathing. As he took a moment to simply look at her, and she at him from the flat of her back. Talyssa felt Quill’s body against her own, his warmth seeping into her as he covered her. His forelegs wound tightly around her, pulling her upwards so that their mouths could meet again in a fervor of teeth and tongue. The gentle urgency in his movements sent a thrill rushing through Talyssa. This was all new to her, but she allowed herself to be drawn into the whirlpool of sensations. She felt a rush of emotions she had never experienced. Underneath him, she felt his body stirring; it was a clear indication of his desire for her - one that matched the profound longing in Talyssa’s heart. The pressure was intoxicating, but it was the gentleness in his actions that took her breath away.

She hesitated momentarily, a soft gasp escaping her lips as his teeth grazed against her neck. Her pulse quickened, her heartbeat echoing loudly in her ears as she arched into him, seeking the warmth and comfort of his body. Her own body responded to him instinctively, moving with him as they intertwined. His presence enveloped her, drowning out the rest of the world. The trees around them faded into the background; even the crackling of the fire seemed miles away. All that existed for her was Quill. She could feel his desire, a tangible heat that ignited her own passion. As minutes melted into eternity, she lost herself in him, in his touch, his ferocity, and the intoxicating thrum of their hearts beating in unison. It was almost frightening, yet he held her grounded.

She was lost in him, and as he spoke, she nearly didn’t hear the words as they rolled off his tongue- but she felt them leaving a trail of warmth in their wake. A shiver ran down her spine as he spoke her name, the syllables rolling off his tongue with a tenderness that took her by surprise. It was as if she was hearing her name for the first time.

She felt him around her, within her, completing an intricate connection that sent shivers through her body. His paw against the back of her neck had a calming effect on her, an anchor amidst the waves of sensations threatening to overcome her. She clung to him, holding him close as she adjusted to his intrusion before responding with a slight nod of her head. His deep purr resonated through her, sending tremors of pleasure rippling through her body.
