i know ><;; i could have sped things up, sorry if this seems to slow things >.>
He eased Stark to a halt. The horse was slow, but never when he asked gently and with respect. The dark eyes looked out onto the sea and his long pale face dipped down in compliance and stopped his pace just as the coy-wolf wished for it. Of course he would do anything she wished, but Heath was even more eager to please his mate in this situation. He did not fear outright that she would fall back into the dark depression but even if it was not a threat it did not leave his mind. Heath would push himself to show her that this was the world in which she belonged.
The male slid off the back of the stallion, and let his amber eyes gaze up at the merle collie for the briefest of moments. She would notice his staring, and so he took only a second before placing a light toned hand on her own, his black furred rested at her hip. She swung her leg over the dappled white back of Stark and Heath took hold over her waist. He was slow in his movements, waiting patiently for her to situate herself but also gladly allowing his hands to touch places they had not felt in weeks. While their last embrace had been fool-hearted and playful Heath allowed his hands to hold her completely as he helped her from the steed.
He felt the weight of her body, and as always she was lithe and light boned. But the texture of her fur against his own and the warmth of her body made her form seemingly heavy in his arms. The male allowed her foot-paws to touch the ground, yet he held her still until he felt her body grounded in the soft sand. With her hand in his own Heath led her away from the horse, and towards the soft tide of the inlet. The sound of the ocean surrounded them, filling his ears right beside the beat of his heart that crept skyward in response to his hands against her silk pelt. The water came forth, gently touching the tips of their toes. Heath hadn’t swum in many seasons, and could not place the last time he had. So he hesitated, golden hued eyes scanning the ocean before reaching her face.
