Duskfire Glacier [m] born with other names

the moment to escape this fate had passed, and the chieftain took that which was offered. sulukinak received him eagerly, although she felt a now familiar burn to her skin wherever she was touched, and like with the cousin before him, the shadow girl had to endure it rather than succumb to any great pleasure.
it was too much sometimes, even as faust shifted the pace or accommodated; he was slower and more tender with her than blackfell, though the results were the same. to go from her natural state of touch-starved and avoidant to this, not once but twice in so short a time, overwhelmed parts of sulukinak's nervous system.
that isn't to say what transpired was a bad thing, or even unwanted. that primal fire in her belly was being well stoked, and soon sulukinak felt apart from herself; somehow there, not there, melded with faust, a part of the air, the glacier—and there came the stillness of after.
she wondered if sleep came to all men after, or maybe faust had a stronger constitution.
