RYAN: The sun was just beginning to crawl over the horizon when Ryan began heading back to the house. Jimmy's patrol was up next and he passed the group on his way up the hill, giving a half wave and a nod before he reached them. Lifting his chin, he appraised them of the situation, his words clipped and tired, voice hoarse. A half-dozen coyotes were pacing the territory lines and there'd been a few altercations, small skirmishes that had left people bloodied and cut, but none the worse for the wear. Certainly nothing that wouldn't heal by the next evening. Ryan was covered in the red dust that had given the canyon it's name and he pushed a hand over his face, tasting grit and feeling the sweat and powder cover his palm. He grimaced. He wasn't against dirt or grime, but the toll the evening had taken made him want nothing more than to crawl into bed. He wasn't going to, not without taking a shower first. He didn't go to the bedroom first, instead opting to use the bathroom in the hall to take his shower. He didn't want to wake Dani up, wanting to let her sleep. One of them deserved some sleep. Needed some sleep. She'd have to help the others get around, help with the women and the children. It was her duty as the alpha's mate and one she'd fought hard for. Once he'd finished, letting his muscles relax beneath the hot water of the shower, he'd dried himself and then slid a towel around his waist, making his way to the bedroom. He was quiet as always, silent as he crossed over to the bed and then stood at the edge for a moment, content to watch Dani sleep. She was sprawled over the bed, limbs akimbo, and he smirked. Kneeling on the bed, his weight dipped it down and he leaned in to kiss the back of her neck, letting his lips draw beneath her ear as he nudged her gently over, his warm body hovering above her own. | |
DANI: Dani was dead to the world. It wasn't often that she was able to actually sleep when Ryan was out on patrol, instead dozing lightly until she felt his weight in the bed next to her, but that night, she was out cold. It had been a long day; the stress of the increased patrols to keep an eye on the coyotes had been taking it's toll on everyone, and patience was wearing thin. She kept herself in check, though. Ryan and Jimmy would take care of the pack from the outside, and she would do her best on the inside. After a day of babysitting both children and adults alike, Dani had had enough and finally sacked out after leaving Jimmy's girlfriend in charge for awhile. She was currently organizing breakfast for the returning patrol while Dani slept for awhile. She'd set an alarm. No one would miss her too much. She barely shifted as she felt the weight increase on the bed, drawing her arms and legs into her body and mumbling softly, her body dead weight until she felt Ryan nudging her over. She drew in a deep breath as she rolled over, giving a catlike stretch as she fought to open her eyes. A smile broke over her lips, and she slid her arms around Ryan's neck, pulling herself up into him. "Patrol okay?" Her voice was thick with sleep, and she nuzzled into his neck, scratching her fingernails over his back in a soft arc. | |
RYAN: Ryan grinned as she stretched beneath him. Her scent filled his nostrils and he breathed her in, leaning down to let his nose rest near her ear. He gave a soft happy hum, close to a purr, and he lowered himself onto his elbows. He knew that she was tired, so he wasn't intent on keeping her up for long. He was exhausted too. Shivering as her nails moved over his back, he nibbled at the crook of her neck before making a noise of assent. "Skirmishes, but nothing bad. Rico got bitten, but the coyote who got him suffered a bit worse than that." He kissed her and reached for the blankets, dragging them over his body. | |
DANI: There was an immediate spike of worry when Ryan said someone had been hurt. The coyotes were getting ballsier, and that was not a good thing. Her brows knit a little and the corners of her mouth ticked down into a slight frown, the expression dissolving quickly when he kissed her. She returned the kiss, then slid from dead center in the bed to give him space before snuggling her body in close to his. She gave an involuntary shiver as the heat from his body worked its way into hers, and Dani smiled against his shoulder. "Seems like the coyotes grew a pair." Her voice was even, but she knew Ryan would pick up on her worry. She didn't like the idea of the pack having to work to defend land they'd lived on for years, especially not from some pack of imbreds without common sense or courtesy. Dani rolled onto her side and let her head rest on the pillow, leveling her eyes with his. He looked tired. Her fingers came up and massaged his neck before she leaned in and kissed him. If he wasn't worried, she wasn't going to bother worrying. Instead, she was going to focus on him, give him the sanctuary to relax he needed after patrol. "Need anything?" | |
RYAN: Ryan noticed the expression and his hand framed her face, forefinger touching the line that creased her brow as he returned the frown for a split second. He leaned down, though, kissing her, and his own smile returned the moment that she moved and gave him space. He dropped to the bed at her side, gathering her into him as he wrapped his arms around her. "They're still cowards. They're stepping over the lines more and more every day, but they're still cowards." he murmured, "don't worry about them, alright? You're safe here." He leaned into the kiss and smiled, nuzzling her cheek with his nose. The massage had felt nice, his muscles tired and sore. "Mm, more of that...if you're so inclined?" | |
DANI: "I know." Her voice was quiet. She couldn't quite get the worry out of her mind, but what he said was truer than anything else; she was safe there. Her worry was more directed at everyone else, not herself. Even when it was just the weekly routine patrols that happened before the coyotes decided to try to step out of line, Dani would worry. About everyone in the pack, but specifically Ryan and Jimmy. While everyone was her family, those two were of the utmost importance, the two people she'd stand in front of a train to save. Now, knowing that there was a live, active threat just made her worry more. She gave him a tight squeeze, then disengaged from the snuggling, pushing Ryan over onto his stomach. Dani slid so she was straddling his hips, her hands sliding in a slow line up his back and down again. Leaning down, she pressed a kiss to his shoulder, and whispered, "relax," against his ear. "I'm always inclined." She let her fingers work into the tense muscles at his neck and shoulders, her lips brushing against his temple before she sat back. Dani let her knees press into his sides, tucking her toes beneath his hips as her palms and fingertips worked to soothe the ache from his muscles. After all the time they'd spent together, she knew where the knots would be, and focused in on them with her thumbs, working in small, controlled circles until she felt the muscles relax beneath her touch. When she'd made a circuit of his back a few times and her wrists were starting to ache, Dani leaned over, sliding her arms beneath his chest, her legs tucking in tighter to his sides. She held him like that, nuzzling into the back of his neck for a few moments, tightening her grasp before letting go, sliding off onto her side of the bed. "Better?" | |
RYAN: Ryan was worried, but that was his perpetual state of being lately. No one had been injured badly, but there had been a few close calls. Too close for comfort for Ryan. The threat of the coyotes was all too real now, especially with them nipping at the territory borders. He chuckled softly, torn out of his sudden worry by her pressing him onto his stomach. His groan was deep and soft as she slid her hands over his skin and then straddled him. As soon as they woke up, he was going to do a bit more than massage her. He relaxed beneath her fingertips, lightly dozing until she hit a spot or two that really made him wince. He could appreciate the silence right now, though his hypersensitive hearing was picking up the sounds of stirring around the house. He groaned as she made tighter circles and he arched his back when she finished, feeling a few vertebrae pop. "Much." he murmured, reaching for her hand and pressing a kiss to the back of it. "Wake me up in four hours? Unless you want to stay in bed with me?" he grinned, softly running his teeth against her pulse point. | |
DANI: Dani contemplated. She'd only managed a couple hours sleep, and the idea of actually getting to spend a couple hours wrapped around the man she loved before getting up to take care of everyone was one that she wanted to act on. And it wasn't as if there weren't people around that could take care of things for awhile in her stead. Then again, she was the alpha's mate, and she was human at that. Her position with Ryan might've been cemented long ago, but her position within the pack was always tenuous. She studied Ryan for a moment before sliding in closer to him, letting her fingers push through his hair. "I'll stay." She snuggled into him again, twining her legs through his and wrapping one arm around his back, the other tucked against her chest between their bodies. She let the backs of her fingers rub against his chest, breathing him in and basking in the heat of his body. Her head tipped back and she pressed her lips to his throat, staying there and letting out a thrumming, happy moan before wriggling in closer. It wasn't often they got to simply be in the same bed together anymore. She'd missed him. "Four hours." Her voice was a muffled mumble against his skin as she squeezed him into her, tightening her arm around his back until her muscles wouldn't let her, then she relaxed, falling back into a doze quickly at the comfort of him. | |
RYAN: Ryan knew that she was going to choose to stay, but he didn't want to force her. His alpha male instinct made him want to make decisions for her time and time again, but he knew it was often a bad idea so he quelled it. His pack mates ribbed him for it, but he figured not giving into instinct all of the time was part of what kept him different than feral werebeasts like the coyotes. He let her choose and she chose the way he'd wanted her to and a grin spread across his face. "Good. I knew you'd say that." he murmured, leaning in to kiss her as she wrapped herself around him. His arms cradled her against his body and he didn't bother with the covers. It was daytime, which immediately meant heat, and the air conditioning was on the fritz again. He missed her, missed curling up with her, and given that he was part cat, curling up with her was something he needed. More than anything. "Four." He dozed off, stretching out with Dani before they both dropped into a deep sleep. He didn't know how long it had been when he woke up, but he was draped over Dani's back, his hips rubbing up against her ass, his hard cock prodding her even as he gave a soft little growl into her neck. He wasn't entirely aware of his actions, just knew that it felt good. His teeth ran gently over the back of her shoulder even as his hand slid beneath her stomach, seeking lower. | |
DANI: She was tempted to put up a mock offense when he said he knew how she'd choose, but she didn't have it in her. They were both too exhausted, and all she wanted to do was be there with him. Instead, she prodded him in the ribs, shook her head a little and nipped at his throat before she let herself drop into a heavy, comforting sleep. She only shifted to turn over, keeping little to no distance between her body and Ryan's. An insistent pressure on her ass woke her, pulling her out of sleep and into a lower level of consciousness where all she did was respond instead of think. When her brain did start to catch up, Dani let out a sigh, pressing herself back into Ryan. She was sprawled, like she always was, with Ryan matching her frame. With her eyes still closed and a smirk working it's away across her lips, she twisted onto her side, her ass pressing hard into Ryan's hips, her leg sliding up over his. She wanted to tease him with a 'good morning,' but all that came was another sigh before her hand slid into his hair and down to the back of his neck, pulling him in closer. | |
RYAN: It should have come as no surprise to her that he'd wake her up in this way and Ryan was sure that it didn't. They didn't often get to wake up together, with Ryan coming home and Dani getting up, but when they did he often woke her up for sex. He rumbled a groan into her neck as she shifted beneath him, pressing him onto his side as she moved. He nudged himself between her legs, feeling his cock rub against the warm fabric of her panties, and he groaned. She always wore clothes. He wanted to whine, but instead his fingers brushed the soft material and he pressed against her clit, rubbing slowly. His lips dragged against her neck to the crook of her shoulder and he kissed her, rolling his hips against her again. | |
DANI: It didn't come as a surprise, since the two had to take whatever time they could get alone together and make the most of it. They might have been together a lot, but it was generally doing something that didn't much allow for constant cuddling and sex, even if that was something Dani wouldn't have objected to in the least. Hell, that had been how they spent the first few months of their relationship, when neither had much responsibility outside what they chose to take on. Still, she was hardly going to object, especially when Ryan was pushing all the right buttons. Her leg hooked around his and she flattened against him, her breathing already coming harder simply with anticipation. She tilted her head over into his as he kissed her shoulder, turning her face until her lips brushed against his cheek, meeting the roll of his hips with one of her own. Her hand dropped away from his neck, sliding down along his arm until her hand covered his, staying there, feeling the tendons of his hand shifting and tensing as he rubbed her clit through her panties. She panted out a breath before moving his hand away, then moved quickly to slide her panties off before resuming where she'd been. Her back pressed flat against his chest once more, Dani arching her leg up over his. She shifted her body back against his firmly, her hips giving a twist with each movement. | |
RYAN: Ryan pulled his head up as she moved to kiss his cheek, groaning as her hips rolled against his own. Her hand guiding his own was spurring him on, making his fingers press harder, circle faster. He felt his cock stiffen further, brushing against her through her panties as he rocked into her. Giving a soft growl as she pushed his hand away, he groaned when she shimmied her panties off, feeling her bare ass brush against his cock before she moved back to where she was. His cock was now sitting between her legs, hard enough to make his teeth ache from gritting them, and he reached down to nudge the head of it into her body. He groaned, his lips finding the back of her neck again, and he gave a shallow light thrust upwards, feeling his cock just begin to push into her the slightest. "Fuck, Dani..." | |
DANI: Her movements against him took on a level of desperation, Dani feeling the heat of his cock against her sex, that nudging pressure against her opening as he teased her. Her eyelids fluttered closed and her jaw fell slack, a sharp breath drawn in as he thrust upward. Her back arched automatically, shifting her hips down, forcing him deeper inside of her. Dani cried out, her eyes flaring open. Her shoulders twisted while her hips stayed where they were, Dani reaching a hand to the back of his neck, looking strait into his eyes as she drew her hips forward and slammed back hard. Her voice choked off in her throat, Dani able to manage nothing but a strangled moan, and even that was interrupted by a hissing gasp through bared teeth. Her head lifted and she kissed his mouth, her tongue searching his out desperately, her fingers twisting into his hair. Another loud, uninhibited moan issued against his lips, Dani letting herself go completely, like she always did with him. She might not have been half animal, but some part of her was more feral than not. |
