Raschen panted words of passion into his darling Taryn's ear as she fell into his arms, the pair exhausted. His paws slid so gently around her, gently stroking down the bare flesh of her back as she laid against him. He stole several heated kisses before smiling to her, stroking her cheek. He sighed happily. He had never felt such wonders and pleasures in his life until she came to be his mate.<br/><br/>"I will never leave your side, Taryn....no matter what comes to tear us apart...I will keep hold of your hand; steadfast." He gently rested his muzzle to her lips once more as he laid his exhausted mate to his side, his long, muscled legs gently intertwining with the warm bare flesh of her's, her fingertips intertwined into his paw as he lay his chest to her back, his arms tight about her, protective, territorial. He would whisper a few more impassioned words before the pair simply fell into the dream realm in each other's embrace.<br/><br/>The following morning came far too swiftly. He woke before the sun could caress the pale flesh of his lover, drawing the curtains closed to let her rest a while longer as he stepped outside for a breath of the cool fresh air of the Warren morning. He felt revitalized, born anew as he stepped out, closing his chamber door behind him to let her rest, his paws reaching high as he stretched, a smile filling his muzzle.
