"Maybe this beach will be our settlement for a long time, or maybe we'll find somewhere better inland. Or maybe we'll be nomadic for a long time, if there's no one place that suits us. That's the beauty of this expedition - we get to decide our destiny."<br/><br/>She nodded to the question of how battle affects her. "Sometimes, yes. Maybe battle-rage is different for you, but when I fight, all of my emotions are heightened. If I'm fighting to protect my son, then it's that maternal love that fills me. If I'm hunting a wild beast to eat, then it makes me hungrier. And if I'm fighting alongside one of my lovers, well... once the fighting is done, all that energy has to go somewhere, right?"<br/><br/>As Sresk held Sophia's gaze, her breathing almost stopped, as if she were afraid she had said or done the wrong thing. The feeling of Sresk's thighs shifting and her nipples hardening brought a look of relief to her eyes, and she tilted her lips up to meet Sresk's kiss happily.<br/><br/>A deep sigh escaped her mouth as their lips parted, and she reached up to slide one hand into Sresk's hair, stroking the back of her neck. "Oh, I'm glad I didn't read this all wrong," she murmured, before slipping into silence again, baring her throat to the exploration of Sresk's lips. Her breast was warm and full in the shifter's grasp, the nipple now fully erect and pressing against the palm of Sresk's hand. She slid her thighs apart and arched her back just a little to invite Sresk's hand towards the thick, tangled patch of dark hair between them.<br/><br/>Sophia shifted in Sresk's grasp, now lying completely in her embrace, gazing up at her. Her hands reached back to caress Sresk's powerful thighs, as she surrendered to the exploration of her body, and she managed a quick kiss against the flesh of her breast. "There's something so sensual about watching you in the water," she murmured, her breathing coming more quickly now that she could express her arousal. "You're so strong, so comfortable in your own body." She tilted her head as she mused quietly. "Are you more comfortable like this, or when you have your scales and your fangs? Is one form more 'you' than the other? You're beautiful in both."
