"I don't think this is a good idea." I muttered, sitting beside Roshani and he just chuckled.
"Are you afraid someone will interrupt?" Roshani teased and I snorted, trying to ignore the hand resting on my left thigh. "Relax, Valery. Dusk will alert us if anyone approaches." He added, running just his fingertips along my leg now.
"It always happens, Roshani." I answered, tilting my head back when he licked my ear. "Roshani, we should head back to the village." I suggested, about to stand when he grabbed my arm. Confused I let him pull me back into the water only to end up on his lap this time and then I understood. "Huh the water didn't exactly affect you did it, Roshani?" I giggled and he gave me a one-armed shrug, leaning in to nuzzle my throat as his hands reached around. Cupping my breasts he pushed them together, kissing my neck and throat as I sighed.
"No it did not, Valery." Roshani whispered and I turned my head, giving him a tiny smile before I leant in. We kissed deep our tongues brushing together before Roshani removed a hand from my chest, slipping it beneath the water. I groaned into his mouth as one of his fingers slipped into me, gently stroking me until I came with a cry. "If no one heard that we will be alright." Roshani teased as I panted, face flushed.
"V...very funny. If you do something like that of course I'll react. Now it's your turn, commander." I whispered, my own hand moving under the water's surface leaving Roshani looking at me with his eyebrows raised. He gasped moments later as my hand grasped his arousal and as I slowly stroked him Roshani moaned. Already half hard Roshani gripped my breast hard, his groans getting louder the more I stroked him.
Seeing his eyes clenched shut I started to alternate between fast and slow strokes until Roshani moaned, his climax coming after what seemed like an eternity. At least to him anyway and as he rested his head against mine I grinned, lightly kissing his forehead as he panted. "Valery...that was amazing." He managed to pant and I smiled, giving his throat a kiss.
"I thought you'd enjoy that, Roshani. After the battle you seemed..." I paused searching for a word until Roshani kissed me and I forgot what I was thinking about. Kissing him back I snuggling into his chest, his hand lazily teasing my nipples. "Do you think we should walk back soon? Before it gets too dark to see?" I asked and he shook his head, gently lifting me off his lap before he straightened. I climbed to my feet, turning to retrieve my clothes but as I dressed I saw Roshani frowning at me.
"Valery, it will be dark before we return to the Wenja village. We should make camp and leave when Suxli returns." Roshani told me, seeing my eyes widen. "Valery, I will protect you from the darkness." He said, pulling me into a hug when I whimpered.
"I know it's silly to be frightened but...I just hate the dark." I whispered, burying my face in his chest with a shiver. "Since I was a child it's scared me."
"It will be okay. You should stay with Dusk while I gathering branches for a fire." Roshani suggested and I sighed, giving him a tiny nod. Releasing me Roshani walked over to his clothes, dressing quickly before he walked into the growing darkness.
Whistling for Dusk I waited until my Cave Lion joined me, sitting when I did on the rocks as I waited for Roshani to return. He reappeared a short time later though not quick enough and once he saw me shaking he headed over, an armful of branches in one hand.
"Valery, I was not gone long." Roshani said, dumping the branches at my feet and I raised my head. "It is okay." He whispered, kneeling once he saw how pale my face was.
"Sorry not very brave am I?" I mumbled, watching Roshani as he grabbed two rocks near his feet. Still scared I kept my eyes on my boyfriend as he started a fire, making me just a little impressed by his skills. "Doesn't matter anyway I guess."
"You are very brave, Valery. It is alright to be frightened by something. I was scared of Batari for many suns until you came along." Roshani pointed out, wrapping an arm around my shoulders when I sighed.
"Yeah but she's gone now so you're not scared anymore." I replied and he shook his head at me, making me raise my head slightly. "Huh?"
"I am scared of losing you." Roshani whispered, resting his head against mine and I gave him a weak smile. Letting the fire warm me I closed my eyes, suddenly exhausted.
When Valery's breathing slowed Roshani raised his head to stare into her face, finding his mate asleep. "Sleep well, Valery." Roshani whispered, gently lying Valery on her side before he joined her. Not even aware Valery snuggled into his chest, sighing and Roshani just smiled at his mate before he closed his eyes.
Dusk yawned, resting his head between his paws as he watched his friend and her mate dozing by the fire before the Cave Lion fell into a peaceful sleep.
