'This way. Don't stray, I won't go searching for you if the mist separates you.' He spoke, taking another step forward until they were a breath apart. She was tempted to reach out to him, nose to nose, but he turned just as quickly as he had approached. Long limbs eased her forward as she followed closely behind him, her right side hugging his left flank as they maneuvered the mist together. Between the dense forestry and the rain eyesight was limited so she had no issues remaining stuck to him as he led her to whatever shelter he had managed to find. And when they did arrive she was impressed that he had found this place, for she would have looked it over entirely. It blended in perfectly with the backdrop around it, the leaves and vines thick and tangled but open enough just for them to squeeze between to take cover. Minerva watched as Barnabas moved in first, his frame lowering to the ground as he tucked his paws beneath him. For a moment she hesitated because how on earth would both of them fit in there? But either way she was willing to try. She squeezed past the vines and roots, being careful not to step on Barnabas in the process. It was quite snug and she lowered herself to the ground as smoothly as she could manage, though as soon as she did hit the ground her frame was pressed tightly against his own, side by side as the rain pattered down outside of their enclosure. "Well now this is cozy." She mused, her breath exhaling against his neck as she spoke. And it became quite evident in that moment, her side pressed against his own, that she had been lonely. That loneliness that she had expected to feel had been quiet all this time and only now did it rear it's head. She became hyper aware of how long it had been since she had the company of another and her body, well she yearned for that physical contact. It was exhilarating, intoxicating, and so she pressed herself against him tighter, her gaze moving to the rain outside all the while.

He had to admit that when she began entering, he couldn't help, but stare. His eyes following her curves until she managed to settle down. Her body was tightly pressed against his, because of the small space they were in. Her remark to how cozy it was, caused him to chuckle slightly, as he turned slightly to take a look at her. His head hanging over hers, due to his slightly larger size. His ears cupped forward and listening to the sound of the rain. The drops falling onto the leaves that kept them dry. He was happy that his tail was so small and wouldn't get tangled in anything. For a long moment he felt content. With the rain, the warmth and her company. He allowed his eyes to close for a moment as his head was turned towards the life outside their "den".

The pressure that he felt against his side was from her, pressing rightly against him. And he had to face it. It had been so long since he felt warmth from someone. Anyone. So he didn't flinch, didn't even dared to breathe. His eyes opened and his head turned towards her and took her in. The way she looked outside. Oh, how lonely she looked. Before he could even react his head was leaning forward to give her a nudge on the cheek. He retreated as fast as he realized what he had done, ears leaning backwards and his head turning away from hers, eyes trying to avoid her plum ones. This day was going to be locked in a box in his mind and put to the back of his conscious.

She could feel his eyes upon her, watching. She did not flinch however, nor did she move. Her plum gaze continued to watch the raindrops even as she could feel him hovering just slightly above her. And then, a touch so soft that she almost thought she had imagined it. But from her peripheral vision she could see him pulling back, retreating, but oh no she wouldn't let him. She turned her head, those plum eyes pinned upon him as she reached out, attempting to nibble against his jawline. A soft touch all the same, tender. And it was in this secluded little piece of heaven that she allowed herself to relax, truly relax. Minerva hadn't ever had suitors and how could she? She was far larger than any of the males that were part of her natal pride aside from her own brother of course and then the few rogues that she had happened across well .. were much much smaller than she. And most of the time they were uneasy as well. They saw her as a big burly beast, not a lady that could be loved and caressed. And so Barnabas' touch had been a welcome one, one that made her heart leap with anticipation and giddiness. He had retreated but she followed right after him, not wanting the moment to end. She reached upward, grooming the side of his neck softly before pulling back to stare at him once more. "You are the first you know.. others they don't.. well, no one has ever tried." She spoke softly and though she should have felt embarrassed it was the truth that she had come to accept over time. She hadn't been viewed as attractive, hadn't had suitors pining for her attention, and though he was neither in the same instance he offered more than anyone ever had.

While he was debating if what he did was something he was ok with, or not, she did not accept his retreat. Instead he was brought back to the present by the soft nibble to his jawline. That action would cause his head to turn slightly, eyes locking with hers as she also moved slightly back to observe him. His enlarged fangs for the first time were in the way. Because he felt the need to nudge her again. But he didn't. He just looked at her, before she decided to come forward again and groom his neck. The action was welcomed and he moved his head slightly to the side to give her more access. When she stopped and spoke, his head turned to face her and his eyes locked on hers.

"Their loss." He assured, as he aimed to lead forward and nudge her cheek again. Why he had done this, he had no idea. He wasn't a man of affection. And he had met her just today. Hours ago. But it was rare to see a woman this big. A woman that, he thought, could actually handle him. His ears cupped forward and he moved a striped leg out from under him and aimed to place it around her, so she could fall further into his body, as close as she could be. His claws unsheathing and gently scraping her fur, possessively. His head would then aim to lean forward and teeth would aim to gently nibble on one of her ears, ruffling up her small mane.

'Their loss.' He spoke as their eyes locked and it was in that moment that she felt herself sinking further and further into whatever this was. They had only just met but already the swell of possessiveness surged within her. He craned his neck to the side to give her more access and she gladly obliged, grooming him further before he moved one of his forelegs outward, claws kneeding her back and instinctively she let out a low rumble of a purr. Finishing her grooming she leaned into him then, scooting forwards and closer to him all the while. She was practically curled halfway beneath him now, her body still pressed tightly upon him. It was in this moment that she pressed backward, invitingly. Perhaps she was making a deal with the devil, but if that were the case then it was all that she wanted.

At this moment it was as if it was just them. All lone in this land they were in. Them and the rain. The soothing breeze and her warmth. And maybe for right now, it would be just them. She didn't speak, but her plum eyes spoke enough. Her actions loud and clear. He might regret this tomorrow. He might regret melting down before her. But today, he does not regret anything. The possessive tug of his was answered with a purr and a push of her own. She was so close it was almost suffocating, but he had no trouble losing his breath. And then, with her next move, he did. She pushed backwards against him and caught him off guard. A rugged huff slipped passed his lips, his eyes locking with hers. He did not wait for permission. He pushed himself up slightly, so he could be above her, chest and undersides pressed tightly against her. His chest vibrating with a loud rough purr. Legs on each side of her. Claws tugging the ground beneath. Teeth gently gripping her scruff, teasing. Tempting. He would hold back for a few long moments more, to allow her to speak, to push him off, to run. To curse him and leave him to his loneliness. To his anger.

Leaning back against him Minerva knew that perhaps she was getting pulled in deeper. She had only met this man merely moments ago and they felt tethered to one another - connected as if they had known one another for ages. They didn't need to speak, didn't need to utter sweet nothings in each other's ear. No, instead they were here. Physically. She yearned for the contact and Barnabas was happy to oblige. And Minerva, well she was grateful, grateful for the man behind her. He could handle her and she could handle him. Together they would become something far greater than anything she could have imagined. A groan slipped past her lips as she allowed him to take her into oblivion.

She didn't seem to move away. Only move closer. As he positioned himself over her, she obliged and allowed him to do so. He didn't want to speak anything. To say worthless words. Actions were much more important. And the man would show her what she was beginning to mean to him. Show her, just how much she would love to stay with him. Keep him company. And so he lowers and tightly presses against her. To shower her with long forgotten affection. To allow himself to feel the same.
