Gone Too Long

The woman before her let out a few soft, breathy words, causing her heart to stir within her chest. Silence spread for a few moments before Athena moved towards her once more, neck pressing against her own in a soft embrace. Amalia felt as if her legs were about to buckle under her and she took in her heady scent, savoring its delicate flavors. Her own eyes slipped closed as she savored the moment, pressing herself up against her taller form. "I vow to never slip away again." The girl whispered, her wet nose digging into the silver fur on her neck. She never wanted to break apart from her, but to shower her in kisses and praise, to tell her how she truly felt about her. But like all things, this precious moment too soon came to a close, the goddess before her pulling away from the embrace. Cyan eyes flickered open at met the multi-hued gaze of the woman she loved, searching for something within their depths. Amalia would not be one to tear a marriage apart, but she couldn't stop her feelings. They were too strong to ignore, and the being before her too great to deny. Amalia had never felt this strongly about another before, and now that she had been away -- well distance truly did make the heart grow fonder.

Athena brought up the fact that her old den was still free, and that always present smile returned to her lips. "Lead the way." She said softly, her ears turning around to try and see if anyone else was around. Athena had said that a lot of wolves had left, but she wondered if there was any around that she still knew. She positioned herself to follow after her Queen, her little docked tail wagging right along with her rump. 'I will follow you until the ends of the earth, my love. My Athena.'
