Redsand Canyon tametsi

feel free to reply once more or fade here <3

ruenna's words touched his ears and she mouthed below his chin. germanicus shut his eyes, a long rumble of pleasure sounding in his throat. he allowed the sensation to sweep through him and did not apply the usual hard restraints upon it. 

the eagle was cautious in all things. but ruenna evinced no resistance. her own desires were manifest.

he did not hesitate after that to pull her closer until he too could feel the cadence of her heartbeat. 

germanicus hoped that his wife would find him intuitive. giving. he was fully present with her now, the tactician's mind working exploratively in the matter of body and breath and tension. and all the while he was warmed through by her affection, wondering, marvelling at her as the glissade came to rest lightly upon his heart. in the semi-dark his gaze was radiant with many emotions as he held her, unguarded at last.

later germanicus lay with ruenna in the crook of his arm. time had come to a standstill and he did not seek the hour. 

mereo slept, and soon the same found the man, a contented slumber and one more relaxed than he had enjoyed for many years.
