Eshalu rolled on to her back and curled up next to Aeryn, seeking the now comforting heat and warmth of her lover's body. She nuzzled Aeryn's throat, one arm around the human woman's waist, both intimate and protective. Feeling Aeryn's pulse closer to her ear, Eshalu gloried in the scent of sweat and passion thick in the air. The spirits of this place would be well pleased.<br/><br/>Now<em>finally</em>she could rest in the way she had been accustomed, with no incomprehensibly curious or disapproving faces to interrupt them. "I'm happy that you're satisfied," she said, her lips gliding with light kisses over Aeryn's cheek and ear, "I feared I would be ignorant of human coupling."<br/><br/>She drew closer still, shifting a long, tan leg over Aeryn's, so that they lay intertwined. She ran foot absentmindedly down the naturalist's calf, almost in rhythm with the soothing dance of her fingers on the human woman's belly and hips. Soon, perhaps, they would drink and eat, but in that moment, she had no intention of getting up.
