Conception 
Summertime was upon them. Each day, the temperature climbed a little higher, and each night Lane and @Tuuluuwaq bedded down a little further into the caves beneath the Summit, seeking relief in the cool darkness. 

In the absence of light, the only indication that dawn had broken was a gradual warming of the air in the caves. At first, it seemed that this was the sensation that roused Lane from slumber. She awoke, and her skin was alive. Prickling, crawling, burning..

Incidentally, there was more than one kind of heat that could creep up on a pair of lovers in the night.  

"Tuulu," she hummed, wriggling against his sleeping form. A delightful shiver ran down Lane's spine.

Tuulu was not well-equipped for the heat of the summer here, even if it wasn't as bad as somewhere in the valley between the ranges might be. Tucking into a dark cave during the night was the only real relief. Yet, he could hardly muster up any real irritation, mostly because he had Lane hidden away with him, where he had her all to himself. 

He was lost to a very deep sleep, something that was only possible because he and Lane were together and safe. He felt like he could actually sleep, though he was usually pretty easy to wake. So when she nudged him and murmured his name, the Tatkret's eyes opened slowly, hazy from sleep. 

The scent that hit his nose then erased any sleepiness from his body. He was suddenly very aware of Lane's body against his. Tuulu reached over and nipped at her jaw. He was hit with a sudden wave of possession as her scent surrounded them. He looked over her with a heated gaze and then nuzzled into her neck to pull her scent into his bloodstream. Mine. he thought. Lane was his, and he was thankful they were hidden here where no one could come upon them. 

Lane, he whispered, though he could think of nothing else to say. His mind was complete mush with her next to him, all warm and soft, smelling like she did.

Tuulu nuzzled into her, and she felt his teeth graze lightly over her jaw. Shivers erupted from the base of her spine, magnified by the neediness in her husband's voice as he whispered her name.

Lane felt, rather than saw, Tuulu's gaze of molten chocolate pouring over her. She pressed herself more firmly against him, squirming to twist her hips to a more accessible position, for when the time came that Tuulu should find himself reaching for them. 

It could not be argued that this was an unusual night for the pair, to awaken within minutes of each other with a mutual craving. Perhaps it was only Lane, who had experienced her heat once before, who knew how different tonight was, and how irrevocably different everything would be from this point forward.
