[oom] Coming Home
It's still dark when she wakes, but dawn is already lightning the sky. She dresses in long skirts, her favourite wool sweater, and her grey woollen shawl. And her field boots. The lakeside is rocky, and they're practical.
She makes her way down the stairs to the bar, not really surprised to see a others who are still awake from the previous evening's carousing. She doesn't pause to socialise. She makes her way out the back and down the path to the lakeside, her eyes on the tree line. She walks the shore, rubbing her arms against the chill, putting more and more distance between herself and the bar.
This time it is she who is searching for him in the mist.
He told her not to come after him when the moon was up. But it had set hours ago. The sun was almost over the ridge.

Her hips press into his embrace, dancing on his mouth, her own motions matching him pace for pace, breath for shuddering, gasping breath.
no subject
And still the near constant groaning, sending little vibrations through her.
no subject
Her scent tells him she's close, but he can hear her whispering, her words rushed, "Not yet, not yet, not yet."
no subject
He pulls on her strongly, groaning with a hint of impatient growl.
no subject
Her scent is a complex tapestry of desire and hunger and a submission that is not submission.
She breathes against his lips, "My love..."
no subject
Mine, he rumbles, holding her throat between his teeth.
no subject
She rises. Oh how she rises, spiralling higher with each rumbling growl. She rises and dissolves, white hot bliss lancing through her with each thrust.

River clings to him, every shred of her awareness focused on him, every breath full of his scent, every heartbeat filling her heart with him. She holds tight, so very tight, not letting go for a moment as they begin the slow glide back to earth.

jasmine and candied apples
He rests his chin in the little hollow below her collar bone and just shy of her shoulder, contentedly smelling her.no subject
She can feel his breath, his pulse, his sweat mingling with her own. She wants him here, right here, so close she can't tell where she ends and he begins. She focuses on this moment, this perfect moment, ingraining it in her memory.
"Love you, wolf."
no subject
"Love you," he murmurs, not moving to get off her at all. "Missed you."
no subject
Her own voice is quiet and drowsy when she speaks, and he can hear the smile in her voice. "Oh, how I missed you, Richard. This place is so quiet when you're away."
no subject
As content as he is to be on top, he can't fall asleep that way. He leans slowly until they're settled on their sides.
no subject
She places a kiss on his forehead.
"Sleep now, love. Talk more later."
no subject
He isn't certain what time it is when he wakes again, only that there's still light coming in the windows and River's still in his arms. He isn't anxious to know anything else as he shuts his eyes against the sun and ducks his head so he's in her shadow.
no subject
River stretches in his arms, languid and content. "Hey lazy bones," she purrs, nuzzling at his temple.
no subject
He doesn't want her to stop nuzzling.
no subject
She presses closer, inhaling deeply, as if she could just get more information by breathing him deeper.
no subject
He doesn't say anything as his eyes slip open, watching her chin bob.
no subject
"What's it like?" she whispers into his hair. "Hunting?
no subject
"Sifting through the scents to find the one that would make the best meal and then tracking that creature down is...it's like a game, really, but with a serious goal. And the running is fantastic, to just...lose yourself in the speed of it." It's tricky, he's finding, putting all of this into words. Letting himself fall into debriefing mode helps a bit.
"And finally catching up and bringing the prey down is probably one of the most satisfying things I've ever done."
no subject
"Ever hunt anything bigger than the rabbits?"
no subject
"There're deer in the woods. I believe Belar mentioned he could put a few boars out there if I liked." He hasn't. The deer are already more than enough.
no subject
"Ever hunt with a pack?"
She can't help but wonder what it would be like to share that experience with him as well.
