The Sunspire But tonight, I need you to stay

His words pulled her gaze back to him immediately, surprise clear in her expression. But why? Why was she so surprised? He wondered what kind of men she had known in her life to have made her feel ashamed of such a thing. But his attention was quickly stolen from his thoughts by her admission. She wanted him too, and hearing her say it almost stole the last shread of his control. Surely he didn't deserve this moment; he definitely didn't deserve her but for now, he didn't care. He just wanted to be with her and forget all of his burdens, even if only for a little while.

The way her body responded to his touch was just as intoxicating as the scent that filled his nose as he dipped his muzzle down to her chest. Her whispered plea made his jaw tighten and he slowly lifted his head to meet her gaze. Her eyes were glazed with need, and he realized then that he wouldn't be able to contain himself much longer; not with her looking at him like that and begging him to take her. His name uttered from her lips finally snapped the last thread of his control. He gently guided her deeper into the cave, wanting to be sure he had her all to himself. Once he was satisfied with the distance he had put between them and the entrance, he stopped and nipped lightly at her flank, gently urging her to stop so that he could finally give her what she so desperately needed from him and what he just as desperately needed from her. As unforgettable as this time together would be for her, it would be just as much for him. He knew he would think of it often and use this memory of her so beautiful and overcome with need and his as a way to escape the darkness that often consumed his mind. She would forever be etched into his heart, of that much he was sure.
