Destination

She wasn't sure how long they had been gliding over the dry river bed, or even how far away their destination was and frankly, for the space of a second that could have been an hour long; she didn't care.

Chihiro was tired. Tired of the struggle, tired of the fear, tired of being tired. And she was determined to enjoy this single moment. Because single moments were all they had. Snap-shots like seconds that could never be reclaimed, but had the capacity to be enjoyed. If only in that moment. Temporary reprises from the uncertainty where they were only themselves for a brief moment of time.

Closing her eyes, Chihiro merely allowed herself to feel, to take in the sensations that she had been ignoring in favor of her fear.

The heavy respiration of his breathing that expanded his chest beneath her with every inhale. The silk of his mane between the sensitive pads of her fingers, tickling slightly when the breeze made it snake down the front of her top. The slight scratch against her thighs where fur faded into scales that shifted with each arching movement of his muscles.

Relaxing into her dragon, she reveled in the feeling to just being close to him, because she was unsure of how long the moment would last.

Note: Hey Hey; sorry for the late update; I was in Old Colorado Springs for a carnival today, Then had to run to the Laundromat becasue I was apparently out of clean clothes, and on the way back my favorite thrift store was having a 50% of sale _;; Also, there is Darth Vader on my TV, I just thought you should be aware.
