His head fell over her as she was cradled against his chest, drinking in the smell of him. She could feel his heart beat against the side of her face, making it even harder to hold back the tears. When she did pull back and try to explain what was happening, Colten told her to hush and to forget all about it. Did he feel it too? The looming presence of death that surrounded them? By the sound of his own beating heart, picking up in pace as hers did, she knew that he felt it too. It was lingering, haunting them, trying to rip apart this last night from them. Sure, they would be after this, but she would be curled in the den with hardly enough energy to eat, and none to preform... carnal activities. This is what she was craving from him now, to really go out with a bang. As he tried to sooth her, she had a feeling that it was for the both of them. He was right though, they just needed to enjoy tonight. Push everything else aside and focus on just themselves. Blinking up at him she smiled softly, her head nodding up and down. Of course he was right. Who knew how long she would last after this? So her muzzle tipped upwards as she sought to press her nose against his, eyes slipping closed as her tongue snaked out to caress his lips. His sweet taste exploded in her mouth, sending a thrill down her spine. Oh how much she loved his man, how she wished that he was older, or she younger. But time was a cruel mistress, and was already pulling her away from him.
He wrapped his neck around her, pressing himself into her scruff. When he said that he loved her she felt like all the breath had been forced out of her lungs, weak limbs quivering below her. "I love you too Colten, more than you can ever know," she said, her voice quivering and breaking. "I will always love you." Ekko's words were soft as she pressed herself into him again, drawing him closer and closer. A fever of nips were placed where ever she could reach, as tears slipped from her pale eyes. One more night. That was all she could hear, all she could pray for. She just wanted this one last night.
