[M] when the time is right

*Shadow* · (This post was last modified: September 07, 2014, 09:24 AM by Shadow.)

Shadow had just finished lunch by the lake and was currently lying down beside the shimmering body of water, he sighed contently and rolled onto his flank, his limbs splayed out beside him. The pack was growing, more members were being recruited and he was sure that it wouldn't be long before Noctisardor Bypass would be truly established on these lands.

A small part of him wondered what Paar was doing right now, had she been out exploring and recruiting or had she stayed at the Bypass and began preparations? He wanted to see her today, even if it was only three or more days since he had seen here, he still missed her. Hopefully she was at the Bypass today.

Paarthurnax · September 03, 2014, 12:23 PM

She'd spent days picking out an appropriate cache site, and had mostly dug it out in preparation for her Winter storage. It was early that afternoon when Paar returned to the area to complete the finishing touches: digging out excess dirt, covering exposed tree roots, then digging up the supplies she'd already gathered to be laid out in the sun to dry.

With a quick glance over her haul, Paarthurnax smiled faintly with pride before turning away in search of the nearest water source to quench her thirst. She trotted carefully through the forest and squinted against the bright light as she found herself on the outskirts of a familiar clearing. Her pace quickened as she caught sight of the lake and, as she neared, she spotted the relaxing form of her mate-to be.

The bi-coloured beauty yipped to announce her presence, and it was with a swishing tail that she rallied to Shadow's side. She stood over him as she lowered her lovely crown to nip affectionately at the aspiring Alpha's pale cheek, then lowered to seat herself at his back. "Someone's lazy," she joked, eyeing him playfully with a broad grin on her face.

*Shadow* · September 03, 2014, 12:46 PM

A faint smile graced the sterling outrider's features as he heard a familiar yip. "Speak of the devil," he laughed softly and rolled over to look at her and grinned lazily up at the crimson healer as she leaned down to nip at his cheek. "Someone's lazy," she said with a playful look in her copper eyes. He flashed her a faint smirk, "Maybe," he leaned over to nudge her cheek affectionately. "Where have you been all these days, I missed you." he leaned closer to her, wanting to reassure himself that she was actually here. "I was thinking about you before you came," he murmured as he buried his muzzle into her fur.

Life here seemed to be so much better than life at Swiftcurrent Creek where tension filled the air every time he was within their borders but here, at the Bypass he felt free, he felt as free as the wind. This was how life should be like, enjoying his days with the love of his life, lying beside the shimmering lake that marked the center of their home.

Paarthurnax · September 04, 2014, 12:53 PM

"Dens to dig, caches to fill, herbs to find," the bi-coloured healer said in response to her sterling outrider's question regarding her whereabouts, and lifted a slim foreleg to paw affectionately at his shoulder. She hadn't ventured far from the territory during the time she'd last seen Shadow, though she kept mostly to herself while she considered the best place to build her storage den.

Carefully she sank to her underbelly, and eyed the silver male with playful curiosity. "Yeah?" Paarthurnax crooned, "thinking about me in what way?" She scooted closer, until her flank was flush with Shadow's, and she sank against his sturdy frame.

*Shadow* · September 05, 2014, 03:39 AM

"Dens to dig, caches to fill, herbs to find," said the healer. He smiled, "Been busy haven't you?" he murmured with a slight tilt of his head. His silver gaze warmed-something that rarely happened- as she sank onto her belly and moved closer and leaned against him. He kissed her gently on her forehead as he rested his head on top of her crown, curling his tail around her body. "Do you really want to know?" he murmured softly, leaning down to brush his nose gently across her pale cheek.

"Didn't you miss me too? he asked, his eyes sought out Paar's bright copper ones. She was perfection, her crimson coat burning fiery red in the afternoon sun and her pale body glowing as the sun cast dappled shadows over her. He wrapped his limbs around her body, hugging her close. He didn't know if he would have made it so far if Paar had chose to stay with Bazi and the Creek, he didn't even know if he would be able to journey over to the Bypass, much less gather followers.

Paarthurnax · September 05, 2014, 04:35 AM

Shadow welcomed her with affectionate gestures, pressing himself firmly against her and showering her with gentle kisses. She crooned softly to him, her tail swishing contently over the grass at her rear, and leaned into his touches. He always pampered her and made her feel so adored, and she loved his closeness. A smile tugging at her lips as he maneuvered to hook his powerful forelimbs around her neck, Paarthurnax let herself be held against his chest, and nipped playfully at the underside of her partner's jaw.

"Of course I missed you," she purled, squirming free of his grasp so she could prod at Shadow's shoulder with the tip of her snout. Curiosity bubbled within her as she racked her mind for reasons why he might be so intent on tormenting her by deliberately avoiding her question in regard to the comment he made concerning his earlier thoughts of her; "now, what were you saying? Thinking about how wonderful I am? How lucky you are to have me?"

*Shadow* · September 05, 2014, 07:22 AM

"Of course I missed you," she touched his shoulder with the tip of her snout, "now, what were you saying? Thinking about how wonderful I am? How lucky you are to have me?" The sterling outrider laughed softly. "Persistent aren't you?" he said, "Actually both," he said matter-of-factly. "I was also thinking about how beautiful you are," he murmured, resting his head on top of her crown.

The large oak that towered over them shaded them from the burning sun that shone across the lake, making it glow brightly. He turned away from it, shook the troubling thoughts away from his head and instead contented himself with Paarthurnax. The gods had been nice to him, letting Paar come with him instead for her to stay with Bazi.

It was time for him to stop living in the past instead to live in the moment and he let all the troubles of his past fly away, this was what mattered now.

Congrats, you have earned my 100th post!

She batted her lashes when he announced that he was thinking of her beauty, and canted her muzzle upward in a display of feigned vanity. "You flatter me," the bi-coloured wolfess smiled mischievously, eyeing her ashen companion from the corner of a copper eye; "you're quite a looker yourself, y'know." She'd been a flirt for most of her adult life. There was a thrill to males pursuing her, if they did so without being arrogant. Paarthurnax had experience in handling compliments with grace, and although Shadow made her blush regularly with his sweet words, she was learning to approach them with confidence.

Squinting against the light, she looked out across the lake's surface and breathed a contented sigh, then set about grooming the sterling outrider's tufted cheek. She flicked her tongue across the fine silver hairs there, and trailed her snout down the length of his neck until she reached the top of his shoulder, where she delivered a teasing nip.

*Shadow* · September 05, 2014, 08:52 AM

YAY :D

The sterling outrider laughed, a soft rumbling sound. "Why thank you, Paar." he said, a hint of amusement in his tone. He leaned against her touch as she groomed his cheek, he felt a slight shiver go down his spine as the crimson beauty trailed her snout down his neck until she reached the top of his shoulder. He sighed softly and turned towards her, tracing kisses down from the top of her head to her shoulder and giving her a gentle lick.

"You have no idea how pretty you are," he murmured into her shoulder as he kissed her on the cheek. Life couldn't be prettier and once again, he thanked the gods for blessing him with Paarthurnax and these beautiful pack lands and faithful followers. It seems that the gods had a better path for him when they led him away from Swiftcurrent Creek.

Paarthurnax · September 05, 2014, 09:19 AM

She breathed in the scent of him, closed her eyes at the way in which he trailed his snout along the length of her neck and set her skin aflame with gentle kisses along the way. Paarthurnax inhaled deeply, trying to steady herself and ignore the new stirring of her loins, which was spurred by the tingling sensation that roused with his touch. Shadow was an attractive male: strong, handsome, ambitious, everything that she previously thought she could only muster up in her dreams. And he was hers.

Paarthurnax opened her eyes again, her nose still buried among Shadow's thick scruff, and she nibbled lovingly at the tips of his peppered pelt. The bi-coloured Frostfur smiled to herself as her companion ducked his crown to sweep his tongue across her feathery cheek, and she lifted her own head to seek the delicate, sensitive area between her partner's powerful shoulders. She preened the bold guard hairs there with her teeth, pampering him here and there with soft kisses.

*Shadow* · September 05, 2014, 09:54 AM

xD ain't a discovery thread anymore lol

He breathed in her sweet scent and continued to plant kisses on her body, Thank the gods. Giving her one last lick on her cheek, he loped his limbs around her, bringing her closer towards him. Venus had blessed him with a beautiful woman and he sent a silent prayer of thanks to her as he wrapped his tail around her lithe body, placing another kiss on top of her crown.

She was why he had managed to go so far, the reason why he had managed to find followers and to make sure that there were no other unwelcomed wolf inhabitants in his land. He doubted he would be able to achieve all that he had achieved without the crimson healer by his side. Other than his brother and sister, she was the only other wolf that he let see the real him. Him without the mask of smirks and coldness.

He knew that Scimitar and Bazi and the others probably thought he was an arrogant bastard and to be honest, he didn't really care. He'd purposefully chose to wear that mask and perhaps he wanted them to think he was an arrogant bastard but those that actually knew him would know it was just a mask and at that moment, he took away the mask. He would wear it later on but for now, it would be nice to just be himself.

Paarthurnax · September 05, 2014, 10:01 AM

Derp, lol. She writes herself. :P

Shadow reached out for her once more, pulling her close, and Paarthurnax obliged. She lay against him for several long moments, enjoying the silence and the closeness and the sun on their backs, before she wriggled free and promptly found herself on her paws. She peered over a lithe shoulder to seek her partner's features, and upon her muzzle grew her adorably mischievous smirk. With a tempting lash of her sleek tail, she loped forward for a few quick strides before pausing to glance back once more, with a woof of invitation for Shadow to join her in a chase: "catch me!"

Excitement swelled within her as she bared again, eager to run, and certain that Shadow would follow her she sprung into a hasty stride away from the lake edge and across the clearing.

*Shadow* · September 05, 2014, 10:37 AM

Lol

"Oh, you little-" he laughed. rising to his paws and began running after her, bright platinum gaze full of joyful laughter. His mask gone for the first time in months, his expression an open book. He stretched his limbs out gracefully as he moved through the grass. "Just wait until I catch you," he shouted after her, slowly gaining up at her. Mercury would be able to beat them in seconds if he was in this race, or was it a race? A large smile spread through his face, brightening up his handsome features as he arched his spine, trying to run as fast as he could so he could catch her.

While he was running, a small part of him wondered how the Creek was doing. Were they doing fine? He was sure that there would be new members, the Creek was always flooding with them, the only fault that they had was that most didn't stay. He did not want the Creek to get disbanded, he hoped that they would thrive again but he felt as if the Creek members deserve to know what kind of wolf the Alphess was. It wasn't that she was bad, she was actually nice if you weren't homosexual, or was she also prejudice to other things? Like religion for example.

Paarthurnax · (This post was last modified: September 05, 2014, 10:53 AM by Paarthurnax.)

She laughed with him, though with her speed the need for oxygen overpowered her cheer, and she resorted to panting with every stride. Paarthurnax maintained her stride well; years of exploring the deserts of Susa had shaped her into a sure-footed, nimble creature. She'd been a sleek athlete as a yearling and now as a three-year-old, she found that she still had it in her.

The sleek wolfess veered this way and that, darting just out of reach of her silver partner. Her tail lashed to and fro at her rear, slicing the air enthusiastically as she ran, and when at last she felt her muscles ache, she eased to a trot and swung around Shadow in a loose ring. Heaving breaths, Paarthurnax approached him with a playful growl, and ducked her head to affectionately and submissively nibble the underside of his pale chin. "Wait until you catch me...?" Paar questioned, playful curiosity shimmering in her vivid eyes as they rose to seek Shadow's cool platinum irises.

*Shadow* · September 05, 2014, 11:20 AM

The sterling outrider slowed down and licked Paar between the ears as she nibbled the underside of his chin. His platinum eyes brightened as she spoke "Wait until you catch me...?" a playful smirk graced his lips as a mischievous look appeared in his silver gaze, one that would make Mercury proud. "You sure you wanna know?" the gleam in his eyes brightened as he leaped on her, hoping to tackle her and pin her onto the ground.

Unlike most romans, he didn't really have one patron god for himself. He admired all gods, even Pluto because without the death god, where would his soul go when he died? Elysium sounded pretty good right now, he sure didn't want to end up in Tartarus. Who wanted to rot in that damned pit anyways. He turned his gaze back onto the crimson beauty in front of him, for once Venus wasn't trying to make his love life complicated, or perhaps she intended to do that later. In that case, he might as well enjoy the calm days he had with her before everything becomes complicated.

Paarthurnax · September 05, 2014, 11:55 AM

She drew back, tail wagging, still energetic, and caught the mischievous glint in his sterling eyes as he teased her with yet another question. A moment later she was knocked to the ground, and she collapsed onto her back with a loud "oomph!" as she gazed wide-eyed up at Shadow, who straddled and pinned her beneath a strong forelimb. Surprise marred her lovely features and, while she tried to regain her breath, the bi-coloured she-wolf rose a slender forelimb and batted at Shadow's chest.

"Don't be an ass," she grinned then, hiking her rear limbs into the air to gently kick at her companion's undersides. "Tell me."

*Shadow* · September 05, 2014, 01:54 PM

I don't even know what I'm writing anymore. :P

A soft bark of laughter escaped the youthful outrider's throat as she kicked at his undersides. "Don't be an ass," she grinned, "Tell me." The silver male gazed at Paar with affection and adoration visible in his gaze, he did nothing to hide it as he leaned closer to her and whispered "What about showing you instead?" he said teasingly and straddled her, leaning down to place a sultry kiss on her forehead and slowly kissed his way downwards, stopping at the beginning of her chest.

The silver warrior rolled over beside her, wrapping his long limbs against her body and pulled her into his embrace as he kissed her on the head and lingered there for a moment before moving to lick her scruff lovingly and withdrew, a faint smirk on his handsome face. "Did you like that?" he whispered into her ear. It seemed like Venus had decided to corrupt his brain and make him do those actions and whisper those words, not that he didn't like doing it of course. But it wasn't something he would normally do.

Paarthurnax · September 05, 2014, 02:59 PM

Well it's SOME sort of discovery thread, lol. Just not the kind we were aiming for. :P

When he opted to "show her" instead, Paarthurnax' heart skipped an uncomfortable beat. She knew what she hoped he'd show her, but wasn't sure if their minds were on the same topic. Unsure if he was one of those "not until we're mated" types, she chose not to bring the subject to light verbally. When last they'd briefly touched on it during their trip to the coast, Shadow admitted that he was still a pure man. Paarthurnax felt a little guilty for that, considering she'd given into her urges with a young guard as a yearling back in Samarkand.

Again he showered her with kisses, left a trail of them from her forehead to her throat, and she exhaled heavily when she realised she'd been holding her breath. He released her from being pinned to the ground and she rolled over onto her belly, and Paarthurnax was once more tucked snugly into his embrace. He held her there, and whispered to her in a tone that made her tingle all over. She turned her face towards her suitor, copper eyes ablaze with new fire, and she arched a brow suggestively. "You could show me more, " the russet beauty said softly, a smirk tugging at her lips.

*Shadow* · September 06, 2014, 04:11 AM

Lol xD

He flashed her a mischievous smirk as she spoke, noticing the fire ablaze in her bright copper gaze. "You could show me more, " she said softly. He leaned closer towards her, pressing his muscular body firmly against Paar's lithe one and began placing placing more loving kisses down her chest where he stopped abruptly and raised his head to gaze at her, silver eyes glowing brightly as he spoke "Are you sure you still want more?"

He leaned down to give her a gentle, teasing nip, his tail thumping once against the ground. Venus, he thought and although he tried to be angry at the goddess he couldn't, because he would have to admit that he was actually enjoying this and if there was one thing about him that you should know, was that he didn't like admitting things.

Paarthurnax · September 06, 2014, 01:13 PM

Maybe edit the title to include a mature symbol? Lol

Once more his teeth were grazing her throat, and she ruled her muzzle skyward to grant him access to the tender flesh beneath her jaw. She closed her eyes and shuddered lightly. Paarthurnax growled affectionately as her partner again released her, and she made to reach out to him. Tenderly she brushed the tip of her nose against his platinum cheek, and flickered a tail ear to catch his taunting, teasing question.

"Yes!" Paarthurnax wished to say out loud, but did failed her. She wished to invite him to take her in ways he had not yet known her, to truly and officially claim her as his own. A part of her yearned for their pack to begin with them as a true couple, a bonded pair in every way. Her body so craved the closeness of his, and she gathered to her paws to lead her beloved toward the treeline with a seductive sway of her fine hips and a suggestive sweep of her tail.

*Shadow* · September 07, 2014, 05:58 AM

Lol done :P

He watched as she rose onto her paws, swaying her hips seductively as she made her way towards the treeline, he got up a moment later, taking a deep breath to steady himself, trying to ignore the stirring in his loins as best as he could as he stumbled after her before collecting himself and following her with his usual gracefulness. The proximity was something the aspiring silver Praetor yearned for, deeply, intimately. His silver gaze burned with a new fire as he trotted after her.

He was sure that Venus and her son, Cupid was the reason of all this and a small part of him was glad. He craved for her attention, wanting to be close to her and it seems that his wish was finally granted. Moving closer to her he whispered seductively "You are beautiful, magnificent mea regina."

Paarthurnax · September 07, 2014, 09:17 AM

Shadow seemed to lose himself for a moment. Instead of loping proudly at her heels, he stumbled over himself in a hurried need to catch up to her. Paarthurnax' heart thrummed fast within her breast as he neared her, and when they were beneath the cover of the trees, she quickened her pace. She trotted elegantly through the foliage and deeper into the woodland, her pursuer close at her flank.

When at last she felt more secure with the proud evergreens all around them, Paar did not stop at once but instead swung around her beau in a circle, letting herself have a better look at him. He was of a powerful form: broad of shoulders, solid at the hindquarters, a solid structure and everything that was masculine. He would sire fine sons through her, heirs to his land and crown, boys she could be proud of.

She sidled up alongside her partner, reaching out to deliver a sharp nip to Shadow's ribs before she ducked her head and slid her lithe frame cat-like between his strong forelimbs, lifting one to let a lion-like paw trail the length of her spine as she scooted forward. When her waist was between his legs she lingered there for just a moment, before stealing away before he had the chance to grip her and tug her into a lovers' embrace.

The bi-coloured beauty growled seductively, a low rumble, and once more circled around the sterling outrider with an inviting sway of her feathered tail.

*Shadow* · September 07, 2014, 09:46 AM

His low grunt escaped the silver male's throat as she nipped at his ribs before ducking her head and sliding beneath his forelimbs, he moved forward, silver fur meshing with red, when her waist was between his legs she moved away. A seductive growl escaped her as she circled him again. This was too much for the silver wanderer, he advanced upon her swiftly, unable to stop himself, crooning to her with great need. He had thought he would wait for her to approach him but he was unable to stop himself.

The platinum male lifted and slid forth, trying to grasp her and fold her body close to his own. He needed her now, a low seductive growl rumbled from him as he moved towards her. He placed a sultry kiss on top of her spine and drifted downwards, peppering her with loving licks.

Paarthurnax · September 07, 2014, 10:00 AM

Her attempts as seducing him did not fail, and Paarthurnax was glad to see from the corner of her eye that he was quick to pursue her. Hurriedly he followed, close at her rear, and she lashed her tail teasingly against a strong sterling shoulder before she veered sharply to the left, attempting meekly to evade his grasp.

But soon he was upon her, and instinctively the crimson beauty paused in her tracks. She looked around to observe as her partner curiously; Shadow had claimed to have never been intimate with anybody before, so how would he react to the new hormones that now likely coursed his veins? Paar growled affectionately to the handsome brute as he lowered his head to plant a heated kiss on her spine and trailed his muzzle toward the base of her tail, which caused her to arch her back against the touch. She stepped backward carefully until her rump was flush against his chest, and presented herself for the taking.

*Shadow* · September 07, 2014, 10:14 AM

Paarthurnax was perfection. Bathed in the dappled afternoon sunlight, her red pelt glowed like fire. He lifted himself and slid against her, naturally folding her body close to his own. His chin rested atop her back and he growled seductively and greedily as he shuffled his hind legs so that he could perch himself across her and be ready for the plunge. He paused, giving her a moment to reconsider but remembered that she had done this before, with another wolf.

He clutched her close as he moved in, arms tucked neatly around her before he slipped in closer, his silver face sliding up her neck as his teeth gently grasped her scruff. Silver mingled with red and it was instinct that burned through him now. He knew he had to be nearer to her than this so he rumbled a warning to her before plunging forward.
