Hot Springs If I lose myself tonight

@Vespertio

How lovely are the portals of the night Namid Macieo when stars come out to watch the daylight die Her world was on fire, every part of her burning and her skin crackling like embers. It seemed that nothing she did would stop the flames that scorched her body into an inferno. She’d tried nearly everything, from rolling in the remaining bits of snow that left her normally clean pelt a muddy mess, to wading into the freezing lake. The ladder had soothed her for a time, even going as far as to give her a chill that sent shivers up her spine. But nothing gave her shivers more than when she passed over the scent of the other males, more namely Vespertio. Her connection to the strong tawny King and her instincts to his dominance left her fanning herself into pants. The feelings she felt when she thought of him weren’t only drawn on by her heat, she had come to realize. The Star Dancer had come to develop feelings for the mysteriously generous man. She found herself thinking of him when they were apart, wondering what he could be doing and even how his day might be going. She thought of their conversations fondly, the remembrance of his warm laughter coiling her muscles and making her dizzy. This mixed with her heat made her physically crave him, it made her want to curl herself around him and feel his fur between her teeth and his weight pressed against her. She wanted nothing more than his presence, and with that she could be content. However, she had kept her feelings to herself and her distance from him despite the strong pull she felt. She spent her time weaving among the trees and leaving behind paw prints in the sand, trying to alleviate the itched in her flesh by rubbing against the trees and going for swift runs. Anything to keep her mind off of him and her body temperature low. Now, she climbed a path she had yet to explore. It had been a small while since she had passed over their own border markers and she laid just outside of them, close enough that she could come easily if her pack were to call but far enough to rid herself of the scent of male and the heat of other females which had led her likewise crazy. Traveling up this path she paused, nose twitching and tail swishing to alleviate some discomfort. In the air a strange scent drifted, smelling of warmth and hints of sulfur. She tilted her head in curiosity, pursuing the smell with interest. A bit further the trees gave way to small grasses and mud as well as a small enclosed field. Within this field, pools filled with steaming water clustered, clearing her senses with their warm air. The feeling left her rejuvenated in the mind, clearing it of the cluster she’d been feeling, but left her body only hotter. An idea struck her, that perhaps if she were to take a dip in the water then emerge the cool air that she would feel might calm her bones. Wading into the water she found it surprisingly warm, and even relaxing. A blissful look emerged onto her facial features, her mismatched gaze fluttering closed as she moved to be neck deep. She breathed in deeply, a small smile gracing her features as she stood there for a few moments basking in the lapping water at her fur.

Madness. This was what the agouti patriarch felt the past week since the females of the pack had come more so into their heat. Each unique aroma of the she wolves lofting heavily on the air, on everything was driving him mad, especially this one female. A pale coated woman by the name of Namid. There was no denying the feelings that had begun to bud within the cold shell of his heart. Her exotic mismatched eyes dancing with a burning flame as brilliant as starlight. Fur as silvery as the rays of moonlight that cast down from the heavens above to illuminate the world in a ghostly glow. He didn't know if it was just the scent of her heat that made him feel this way, so out of it as if he was drunk on some hallucinogenic plant. She drove him mad and it took every ounce of control he had to keep himself from pursuing after her and that intoxicating perfume. Until today.

Nothing was holding him back anymore. Instincts were kicking into overdrive and leading his paws over the partially thawed terra-firma with a destination set in his mind. Wherever Namid was to be found. It didn't take long for the male to pick up on her scent, her fragrance filling his nostrils with each deep inhale he took at various trees dotted within the territory. Eventually her trail led away from his lands and towards an area he had yet to venture to. The lining of trees around the medium built man soon gave way to a clearing, dotted with large holes that bellowed with steam and bubbling jets of water. A hot spring. Why hadn't he come here before? The thought was short lived though as his golden gaze zoned in on his prize. A spectral shape wading neck deep in the gurgling water and vapor. How beautiful and mesmerizing the woman looked even in a simple act such as swimming in shallow waters. Everything she did was an art.  

Staying within the protection of the shadows he watched silently. Spectating the view unfolding before him. Watching as water lapped delicately at her plush fur the way he wished his tongue could be right now. Preening the queen he was beginning to see beneath her surface. How the droplets of water glistened and sparkled like tiny diamonds on the tips of her fur, but hardly as dazzling as the starlight that made up the two toned jewels of her eyes. Eyes that he could swim in for hours if she would allow it. The sound of a light whine broke the silence and his thoughts became disturbed like ripples on the surface of water. Then a shiver ran down his spine as a fresh waft of her aroma filled his senses, another pitiful whine fighting to break past the inky lining of his lips. This woman was throwing the poor man for a loop and he didn't know how much longer he could handle watching her. How much self control he had left. The fibers of his body every last one was craving her body to be against his. To feel her fur intertwining with his while the tips of his teeth nipped at her neck, at her haunches, at any part of her that came within reach. To make her his and his alone. To make it clear to the rest of the pack who he had picked to stand beside him at the top. Of course he hadn't voiced such words..yet.

The fae basked in the waters of the pool, relishing the feeling of bliss that was short lived as her body temperature rose again. A pant parted her maw as she quickly turned tail and waded out of the steaming mineral water. Cold air hit her, earning a small groan of pleasure bubbling up her throat before giving herself a swift shake. Water droplets sprayed the air, glimmering in the fading twilight of the hour as night grew nearer. Small crystal drops clung to her whiskers and pelt, licked from her muzzle by a salmon tongue. Suddenly, she stilled. Her ears swiveled as a faint sound invaded her hearing, earning a tilt of the pale woman’s cranium. She listened intently to see if it would happen again, and she was greeted by a low whine from somewhere in the surrounding bush. Her nose twitched, inhaling deeply the scent of earth, water, and…man. Her man.

The fire reignited and her mind clouded, a sigh fading from her maw and a smile taking its place. He was watching her, somewhere she couldn’t quite pinpoint but he was out there. Excitement filled her veins, the prospect of the coming game putting a jitter in her step. Hide and seek, was it?

Namid took a step forward, her mismatched gaze slowly trailing half-lidded across the grove of forest. “My King,” She purred, emphasizing the words that fell from her lips. “My, you would not be hiding from me, would you? Leaving me so alone and cold,” The Star Dancer called, a pout dripping from her lips and her paw pulling up to her chest to feign hurt by his absence. This was a different side of Namid, driven by hormones and lust and feelings she still couldn’t quite decipher but were so plain in her mind that any fool could see it. How badly she wanted him by her side, and so she would have it one way or another.

A lynx has left behind the remains of a deer. +5 Health

Staying rooted to his spot despite the silent call attempting to lure him forward, his golden gaze locked on the pale woman who now turned tail to make her leave from the waters. The pink of his tongue slipping past the black lining of his lips as he watched the water being flung from her pelt, glistening like tiny stars in the fading sunlight as night began to take over the world. It was then that she paused as the sound of his whine reached her ears, forcing his ears to pin back against his head. Crap she had caught him after he had tried so hard to keep his location a secret from his bathing queen. Now she was staring directly at him through half lidded eyes and a smile on her lips. “My King. My, you would not be hiding from me, would you? Leaving me so alone and cold,” came the purred words from between her inky lips sending a shiver down his spine at the emphasis she used on certain words before bringing a paw up to rest against her chest. 

A low growl erupted from his lips. Not a dominant growl but a playful one to throw back at her words as the silhouette of his form began to dissipate into nothing, his agouti pelt coming into her view with a smirk settled on his lips. "Did you really think I would let a woman like you stay alone and cold for long?" He teased, his tone of voice laced with seductiveness fit for a man such as he as the distance between them quickly melted until his taller body came to stand mere inches from hers. There was no holding back now. Without a second thought his crown leaned in to give the nape of her neck a couple nips, a low groan beginning to form in the base of his throat at the reaction his body received. Electricity ran through his body like a live wire. His tail flicking wildly behind him smelling the scent of her heat and just her in general. God she smelt so good. 

Movement caught her eye and she moved to focus on it, her breath hitching as he emerged like a ghost from the shadows of the tree line. His playfully light growl caught her ears, a shiver running down her spine and moving the flames to an inferno in her belly. Her auds swiveled to catch each word he spoke, clinging to them and drinking them in like nectar. She trailed her mismatched gaze over his form admiringly as he approached his steps sure and powerful as ever as he grew ever nearer causing her heart to race. Namid watched him come, the need for him to be closer to her growing ever greater as he did just that. Suddenly, he was there and to her it was just them and the stars and the sky and nothing else as they melted into the twilight together. That Star Dancer stood there star struck, reawakened to the world by his nips against her nape. Each one left her weaker in the knees than before, leaving her wanting to sink into his pelt. To have them closer even than they were.

The pale woman finally mustered the strength to move, turning her head to tentatively rub her cheek against his shoulder. A sigh floated its way from her maw as she grew more confident and more wanting, moving to wind her way around the larger male. Rubbing her side against his she could have sworn the electricity she felt could be seen, snaking her way around him and settling to run her maw up his chest and neck to nuzzle his cheek. “I am neither alone nor cold now, my darling. In fact, I am on fire,” She murmured, her voice light and airy. As she finished her sentence, she made her own nip at his neck before smoothing it down with a gentle lick. She did this with his shoulder as well, a hum of pleasure filling her chest.

It was like his skin couldn't decide if it was on fire or frozen like ice with each touch that was exchanged between the duo. Each nip and nudge sent the patriarch ablaze and yearning for more. Each second their bodies withheld touch he felt frozen in place, lacking the body heat that only she could provide him in that moment. Soon the touching came to a stop as Namid stopped at his side, light colored maw nuzzling its way up his chest to end at his cheek to give it one last caress before a string of words left her inky lips. Bringing forth a purr deep within his throat. 'I am on fire." was what brought the purr into a more verbal expression, resonating in her ears as the tips of his teeth nipped at its rounded point with a gentle tug just as her own teeth found justice at his neck. Soon letting the pink tinting of her tongue smooth the ruffled strands of fur before moving down to his shoulder.

"Namid.." her name crooned off his tongue tasting as sweet as the nectar of a wildflower, crown lowering to nudge the tip of his coal black nose against the plush fur of her warm cheek to slowly drag its way up to her ear, letting his next words fall as a hushed whisper into its depths. "I have things I need to tell you.." With that he suddenly pulled his body from hers, wanting her to yearn for him just a little longer to draw out this game between them. A fire was burning brightly behind the gold pools of his eyes as he met the mismatched pools she held for a fleet moment before darting off through the clearing. Throwing his head over his shoulder to see if she would follow. Hopefully she would follow. There was a new found source of energy pumping through his blood and he needed to run. To run beneath the blackness of the night dotted with its tiny spot sized stars. To romp under the milky twilight sky with the pale coated woman as if the two were pups again. Pausing his larger form mid run his body turned at an angle to face her. Upper body bending into a bow inviting the star dancer to play. Vesper knew not what he was doing exactly, but instincts where beginning to make their plans known. He wanted her. He needed her. For always. For forever. That much he knew.  

Namid loved the way she affected him, the way they moved together. The purr that rumbled his chest was like music to her ears, and she suppressed a shiver as he nipped at her auds affectionately. Every touch they shared felt like being reawakened, feelings she didn’t know she could feel being pulled from her chest and sending her pulse into a flurry. His maw moved to her ear and her mismatched gaze fluttered closed, exhaling her millionth sigh as he spoke her name like a prayer. Her name on his lips, something she didn’t think could be so wonderfully breathtaking. She wanted him to say it over and over again, repeat it like it was the one word he really truly knew.

“I have things to tell you..” He crooned to her, trailing off before suddenly removing his presence from her side. A whine automatically fed its way up her throat, her auds lowering as she physically felt the loss of his warmth near her. Taking a step toward him, she was stopped when their eyes met. Looking into his molten golden gaze, she could see so many things swimming in their depths. Things that he had yet to say and things that made her skin crave to be touched by him again and always. She wanted him, she had come to realize. She wanted to be next to him forever, to serve him and be his and only his for as long as she breathed. When she breathed, she wanted him to be the only thing she inhaled. He was as vital to her as air.

Suddenly, he turned an bolted and for a split second her stomach dropped. However, with the turn of his head and the mischievous smirk on his lips she realized the game he wanted to play. The pale woman’s tail began a wag and she pulled a grin of her own, her paws suddenly itching to move. With a yip she flew after him, kicking up dirt behind her wake as she soared across the ground toward her lover. She reveled in the feeling, the cold air in her lungs and the wind biting at her pelt. It had been a while since she’d ran, actually ran. It was something that she loved to do, sprint across expanses of land until her lungs and muscles burned in a way that hurt but felt so good at the same time. She raced after him, a pale comet under the fading glow of the sky.

Vespertio stopped and turned, bowing in a pup-like manor tongue and all handing from his handsome jowls. A grin split her maw as she slid to a halt in front of him, ignoring the faint ache in her paw as she, too, lowered herself into a playful bow. Her tail wagged behind her, wiggling her rump in the air as she mimicked him. Excitement filled her bones as she stared at him, before suddenly giving a bark and lurching forward to place a quick lick on his chin. “Tag,” she whispered, before turning in a swift movement and sprinting toward the trees a bright laugh filling the air around her. How she enjoyed this game they played.

 

There was no ounce of hesitation within the woman of his dreams as her paler frame came bounding after his in their twilight rendezvous. The beams of moonlight cascading down from the star splashed heavens casting Namid in a glow that Vesper could have sworn made her look like an earthly bound comet. So ethereal the way her paws gliding over the soil as if she was floating on air. And as she should be. The woman that had restored the flame inside his ice encased heart didn't deserve to have such filthy soil stain her graceful paws. Her perfection. In his aurelian pools this woman was above the rest. In his heart the one who would bring furtherance to his bloodline. To their bloodlines.  This was the woman he could see spending his nights curls around, mighty crown resting atop her shoulder as they slept peacefully.  

Mirroring his stance with her own smaller frame a grin pulled at the corner of his lips the moment her body lunged for his and gave his chin a quick licking before whispering tag, darting off to play the part of the mouse in this game of cat and mouse or chase depending how one looked at it. Audits flicking back for a split second the regal man collected himself and lifted his larger frame in order to pursue his queen. Soil flung underneath the cream of his abdomen and distance melted under the roughened pads of his mountain trained limbs. Extending his neck forward an occasional growl and nip was offered to either of her rear flanks whenever he could get close enough to make connection, a full-hearted laugh breaking past the ebony lining of his lips as the two wolves ran their hearts out. Releasing the built up of energy they both felt. Giving in to the need to run.

Minutes passed as the agouti man let his queen lead the way into the treeline, but it was his time to take control again. With one quick motion his weight was sent into hers with enough force to bring both heavy bodies down with a thump as a limb lifted off the ground to drape over her shoulder, but not hard enough to cause either of them harm. Tumbling into a ball of fur Vesper wrestled his way until the pale woman was pinned beneath him, mere inches separating the tip of his nose from hers. Locking his gaze onto the bi-colored eyes beneath him a variety of emotions flashed across their glossy surface. Lust, desire, something primal that her scent brought out in him with each wag of her tail. Love, kindness, security that her angelic words patched his wounds with. "Mine." He growled lowly in a sultry tone as the corners of his lips pulled back into a gentle smirk, salmon of his tongue escaping its cage behind his teeth to adorn her nose with an affectionate kiss. She was his and it was time he made it clear. Made it all clear to her. To the world.

Okay, I think we can each post a fade for our next posts to wrap things up c: Puppiieeesss

Namid wound between the trees and dodged over tree roots, throwing back her head in an excited bark as her mismatched eyes glowed. A child-like squeal emitted from her jaws as he nipped at her backside, pushing her further with a laugh. This was what she had been missing in her life. She had always felt as if there was something she was lacking in her life, something that she had yet to discover and yet to experience. She had traveled near and far, seen many things and had experiences that others could only fathom. However, there was one experience she hadn’t yet had. Until now. That experience was love, to have someone other than family love you in a way that only they could. To care for you so deeply, the way she saw herself in Vespertio’s and eye undoubtedly how he saw himself in hers. There was still much that she didn’t know about the agouti man, much about his past and other things. But those times could come, they had many years ahead of them to talk of their past. Now, they could make a future. Together.

Suddenly, Namid felt a weight collapse onto her shoulders. It dragged her down to the ground with a surprised yelp, sending her tumbling across the ground along with Vespertio in a way that reminded her very much of the way they had met. Except, this time it was two of them and hopefully no one was getting injured. Somehow, the way they landed the Star Dancer was pinned beneath her lover. She stared up at him, eyes wide with surprise and breaths fanning his cheeks with her gentle pants. Her stomach churned at the emotions that swam behind his warm golden gaze, a gentle blush heating the skin beneath her pale fur. A low growl that send a wave of pleasure up her spin emitted from his throat and she thought she would stop breathing all together. It took just a moment for a single word to leave her stunned and all together absolutely bubbling with happiness. It wasn’t overly exaggerated, it was a simple statement. Short, sweet, and to the point much like her King. “Mine,” he claimed. In that moment, he officially claimed not only her body but her heart.

A breathless nod bobbed her head, “Yours, only yours,” She agreed, a blinding smile lighting up her facial features. He left her with a kiss upon her nose, a final claim to her and she found she couldn’t be happier about it. She didn’t want anything more. She was his, forever and ever more she would be. Anything he asked, she knew she would do without any objection or question. As long as she was beside him, she was content. Everything she could give him, she wanted to give him. A strong pack full of strong members and pups. A family of their own, that is what she truly wanted. This time, she would protect this one like she hadn’t been able to do with her own. Gently, she lifted her muzzle and nuzzled his chin with a whine.
