The poachers scrambled away into oblivion while snow continued to fall around us—a curtain closing on this act of violence and courage. We stayed—the woman who tamed an amarok’s heart and the beast who would brave any temper for her love.
The storm raged on around us as the wind howled through the trees as snow swirled in a frantic dance. But at that moment, I barely registered nature’s fury. My focus was entirely on the woman standing before me—the one who awakened feelings in me I never knew existed.
My heart thundered in my chest as the weight of what I almost lost threatened to crush me. Without a second thought, I reached for her, pulling Claudia into my embrace with a desperation that spoke of primal need.
Her body was warm against mine, her scent achingly familiar—a solace I never knew I craved until she entered my life. I held her tightly, as if I could forge an unbreakable bond simply through the strength of my arms around her.
“Claudia,” I rasped, her name escaping my lips with reverence. My voice was rough with emotion, barely audible over the howling tempest.
For a moment, I feared she trembled against me out of revulsion that she would push me away once more. She looked up at me, her eyes shining with tears, and the world stood still.
“What did you say?” she whispered, her breath a warm caress against my face.
I cupped her cheek tenderly, my thumb grazing over the softness of her skin as I fought to find the words that eluded me for so long.
“I love you,” I murmured, the confession spilling forth like a dam breaking. I've loved you since you entered my life and changed everything.
Her eyes widened, shock and wonder mingling in their depths as she processed my words. For an agonizing beat, she said nothing, and I braced myself for rejection—for the solitude I once embraced to envelop me once more.
But then her expression softened, her lips curving into a smile that outshone even the brightest sun.
“Oh, Zunnik,” she breathed, her hands coming up to frame my face. “I love you too.”
Relief washed over me, a tidal wave of emotion that threatened to drown me in its wake. I crushed her to me once more, burying my face in the crook of her neck as I savored the words I longed to hear.
We stood like that for countless heartbeats, oblivious to the raging storm around us. In that instant, it was just us—two souls connected by a force mightier than any storm.
Finally, I pulled back, my hands settling on her shoulders as I gazed down at her with open adoration.
“Come home with me,” I entreated, my voice a low rumble. “Let me keep you safe, where you belong.”
Her answering smile was radiant, warming me from the inside out.
“Yes,” she said simply, her fingers tangling in the fur at my nape. “Let’s go home.”
With a tenderness that belied my formidable stature, I gathered her belongings, slinging them over my shoulder with ease. Then I took her hand in mine, our fingers intertwining like puzzle pieces, finally finding their place.
Together, we turned and began the trek back to my cave—our sanctuary amidst the chaos of the world. The storm still howled around us, but I paid it no mind. My home, my heart, my everything - all found in the woman by my side.
And as we walked, our footprints mingled in the freshly fallen snow, leaving a trail that spoke of two paths converging into one—a journey we would now undertake together, come what may.
As we entered the cave, the warmth enveloped us like a blanket, a stark contrast to the biting cold outside. I set Claudia’s belongings down near the entrance, my eyes never leaving her as I took in the sight of her. She was breathtaking—her hair damp from the snow, her cheeks flushed from the cold, and her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
I reached for her then, my hands sliding up her arms to cup her face. Our lips met in a kiss that was both gentle and urgent, our tongues dancing together in a rhythm as old as time itself. I could feel her heart racing beneath my touch, her breath coming in soft, shuddering gasps.
With a low growl, I broke the kiss, my eyes burning into hers as I lifted her into my arms. She wrapped her legs around my waist, her arms clinging to my neck as I carried her deeper into the cave.
As I laid her down on the soft fur that covered the ground, I gazed into her eyes, my heart pounding in my chest. I wanted to remember every detail of this moment, as I knew everything would change when we came together intimately.
I leaned down, my lips brushing against her neck as I trailed kisses down to her collarbone. Her breath hitched in her throat, and I knew I had her—that she was mine in every sense of the word.
My hands roamed over her body, exploring every curve and contour as I kissed my way down her chest. She moaned softly, her fingers tangling in my fur as I teased her nipples with my tongue.
I moved lower still, my lips trailing a path down her stomach until I reached the apex of her desire. I gazed up at her then, my eyes locked on hers as I spread her legs apart and lowered my head.
The scent of her arousal filled my nostrils, intoxicating me as I ran my tongue along the length of her slit. She cried out, her hips bucking against my mouth as I licked and sucked at her most sensitive spots.
I could feel her climax building within her, her body trembling with anticipation. And then, with a fierce cry, she came—her juices coating my tongue as I continued to lavish attention on her.
