Smells of Spring Time (Oki)

[Ryleigh]

Ryleigh sat in the middle of a large field surrounded in green. The flowers were just starting to bloom and the smell of spring was strong in her nose. Ry let out a soft sigh as she stared at the tree line. She hadn't seen her mate in what felt like months. They had both been so busy exploring this new place and meeting others that they hadn't set any time aside for each other. Ryleigh closed her eyes and whimpered softly. She missed Oki and she wanted to spend some time with him. Ry felt the wind whip around her a little and give her a small push. Ryleigh opened her eyes and knew what she was going to do.

Ry felt the wind lick against her fur yet again, but this time she spoke softly to the wind. "Carry this message to Oki for me. Tell him that i miss him and wish to meet with him. I'm in Doresu Fields and will be awaiting him." Ryleigh smiled softly as the wind blew through her fur one last time before going to find her mate. She trusted the wind would carry her message to him and he would find her. She wasn't ever able to hide from him when he sought her out. Ry decided she would curl up in the tall grass and snooze while she waited for Oki to arrive.

The spot Ryleigh picked was off to the side near the forest, having a shade from the shadows of the trees. She turned in circles a few times pushing down the tall grass before she curled up. Ryleigh placed her snout on her front paws and curled her tail around her. She left out a sigh as she waited. I hope Oki gets her quickly.

[Oki]

Pushing with his paws, the coppery male stretched, reaching out as far as he could in front of him as he bowed. Pulling himself forward, he dipped his hips to the ground, feeling his back crack. Letting out a grunt of relief, Okamiimaru stood and shook his pelt and flapped his wings. The grass underneath him flattened with the strong gusts of wind caused by his feathers. Folding them against his shoulders, the male drew in a deep breath, smelling the warm freshness of the spring air. After enjoying the fresh scents and aromas, he worked his sword onto his back and the muffler his mother made for him back around his neck, loosely tying it.

It had warmed up quite quickly in the past few weeks and the transition felt rushed to him, as he doesn't really like hot weather. For now it was fine, though in the sun, his pelt got warm very quickly. That's why he tended to keep under the shade of trees so he didn't overheat. Sitting under a large oak tree at the moment, Oki wasn't really sure what to do with himself. At that thought however, something soft began to come to his ear. Leaning forward as if to listen closer, a warm female's voice hovered to his ear as a breeze came. As the breeze passed by him, words came from it. It's Ry's voice, he realized. She wanted to meet up with him in the fields. As the sight of her came to mind, he then understood that he hasn't seen her in ages, it felt like, especially since they were mates.

Without hesitating, Oki unfurled his wings and with one strong flap of his wings, Oki jumped into the air. Rising quickly, he turned to where he knew the fields were. It took time, but he finally arrived at his destination. Slowly descending, he looked to where his mate was. He figured she would be in the shade as he was earlier, knowing she didn't like the heat as well. Eventually, he found her with little time and found she was snoozing. Grinning to himself, Oki finished descending and landed softly in the tall grass. It was hard trying to be quiet as the straw-type grass cracked and crunched with each step. Nonetheless, he slid through the grass and came upon the small clearing she had made for herself. Poking his head through and before letting himself in, Oki watched for a moment as she slept. She looked just as beautiful asleep as she was when she was awake, not to mention cute. Tip-toeing on his pads, he slide up to the side of her and crouched low to where he was laying on his stomach. With his feathers, Oki brushed them from her neck down her back to her rump and followed this motion a number of times. Lowering his head, he slid his nose up and down the length of her muzzle until she woke up, gently inhaling her scent. Oh, how he had missed it.

[Ryleigh]

Ryleigh was running through the soft waves of the ocean. She could feel each wave brushing over her body as they swelled and reseeded. She let out a content sigh at the feeling and could feel a smile forming on her face. Her snout starting to tickle as she was about to jump into a large wave. She wasn't really sure why it was and she twitched it a few times. Suddenly the ocean started to fade from around her and was placed with green. Ryleigh started to open her eyes slowly and realized she was not at the ocean, but had fallen asleep in the field. She closed her eyes again, intent on falling back to sleep when she felt a large mass beside her. She could feel something soft trailing down her back and over her rump. Ry's eyes opened quickly at that.

Ryleigh was afraid some strange creature was touching her and she turned her head quickly. She quickly started to rub her snout with her paw as she looked over beside her. It was then she noticed the copper fur and realized who it was. Ry blushed deeply realizing her mate was only trying to wake her up. She shouldn't of been so hasty when she awoke but she wasn't really all with it yet. Ry reached up and gently licked his muzzle, trying to apologize if she had caused any pain. Oki was much larger then she and Ry was pretty sure she hadn't done much damage. Ryleigh looked up into his blue eyes and smiled softly before she finally spoke. "I've missed you." Her words were not but a soft whisper she hoped the wind would carry to him. She felt her smile grow until she was afraid it would break her face. Ryleigh always felt more complete when Oki was around. It was like they were two haves to the same necklace.

[Oki]

Caressing his feathers and rubbing his nose over Ry's muzzle felt so calming, even to him. Oki himself was about to doze off until he felt Ry's head jerk. Guessing she had woken up, he felt her paw bat at his nose at his tickling motions of his nose. Despite this, he chuckled softly and wriggled his nose as he lifted his head away a little bit to give her room so she could wake up. Stopping his motions over her back, he let his wing rest over her body, holding her firmly against him. "Shhh, hun it's just me...it's alright", Oki spoke softly to his mate so she wouldn't lash out. He continued to look at her until she realized it was him and no one else. Finally, her bright emerald eyes met his and he smiled.

An affectionate growl resonated within his throat as she licked at his muzzle. His tongue poked out to return the favor. Okamiimaru was happy to finally see Ryleigh once more. "I've more than missed you...it's felt like forever since I've last seen you", he spoke softly into her ear. Sniffing at her ear, he could smell her aroma before nibbling at it for a little bit. More like a giggle rather than a chuckle, he was amused with himself as he did this before he poked his nose around her cheek and neck. Then sticking his muzzle back into her ear, a wide grin crossed his lips, "I've missed you more than all the stars in the night sky and all the blades of grass in this meadow, he spoke so low, it was barely even a whisper. After, Oki then pulled away a little bit and looked at her, still having the huge grin.

[Ryleigh]

Ryleigh continued to smile and she nuzzled him with her muzzle. Oki saying he missed her was like music to her ears. She knew he would miss her but it always felt good to hear him actually say it. Ryleigh could feel the light touch of feathers and knew Oki had his wing around her. She snuggled into his side and sighed lightly. Ry loved snuggling in under his wings. It was one of the few places she felt safe, like nothing could ever touch her.

Ryleigh could feel how happy he was to be back with her. The rumbling coming from his chest was enough to tell her just how much he has missed her. It was a sound Ry didn't hear often, just when he was truly content. She closed her eyes and leaned into him, just enjoying his presence. Ryleigh smiled when she heard his last comment and playfully rolled her eyes. Always such a sap. Sugar sweet that could melt in the rain. Ryleigh laughed as she answered him. "Yes i know, ive missed you more then that. What have you been doing since i last saw you? Ryleigh felt a feather on her neck and she reached back. She grabbed it playfully and started to nom on it. She made sure to slober all over it, making it stick together. She giggled again softly and moved on to the next feather she could reach. She did this until half of his wing was dripping in her slober. Ryleigh then looked up at him innocently, like she had done nothing wrong.

[Oki]

The warmth of her body against his side was comforting and he tugged on her with his wing to bring her even closer. As she snuggled in, the tip of his muzzle brushed over the crown of her head affectionately. Inhaling deeply but slowly, her scent filled his lungs. Then he let out his air through his nose, warm and moist, blowing Ry's fur around from the exhale.

Almost like a wolven purr resonated within his chest as him and his mate cuddled together in the long grass. Of course he was truly content. When he was with her, especially like this, was the only time he could be content. He leaned back into her as he felt her weight relax upon his side. Oki had a feeling she would like his last comment, he often spoke, as they say "sweet nothing's" into her ear. It was something that he never did until he met her...she has changed so much about him.

"Mainly my duties to the pack", he answered her question, "I often meet others...some who are our brethren and who are strangers. Often the other and I would try to understand each other, though I would do it for intel when it was loners wandering into our territory." He paused to turn his head so he could look at Ryleigh, then he smiled, "I've made a few friends and I would like for you to meet them sometime", Oki then poked his nose on her cheek. Meanwhile, she had licked his feathers to the point they were glistening with saliva; he had poked her cheek so she could look at him. Quirking his brow, an idea came to mind and his eyes glinted. "My turn?", he grinned. Leaning more against Ry, he put his lips straight into her neck. Opening his mouth, he lapped at her neck a few times before biting down, grabbing the thick fur gently with his teeth. Sucking on it slightly, he opened his mouth and moved to a different spot on her neck and repeated this action a number of times.

[Ryleigh]

Ryleigh could hear the happiness in Oki's voice. She could tell that this place was doing wonders for him. He was laughing and smiling and even seemed playful. Ryleigh listed as he told her about others he had met. He seemed like he had been up to so much more the she had. She hadn't really met too many wolves or any other creatures here yet and she was a little envious of her Mate. He has had so many adventures and seen so many new things already. Ryleigh put on a smile for him anyway. She was happy he was making new friends, she was just afraid her would forget about her. She knew how excited meeting new people was, and how you could forget about others so easily. It was how Oki and her had met.

"I would love to meet your new friends. I have made a handful of my own." Ryleigh tried to put excitement in her voice, hoping that's how it came across. She was happy to meet his new friends, it was her own insecurities that were hurting her at the moment. When Ryleigh felt Oki poke her cheek she turned to look at him, assuming he had something more to say to her. Ryleigh blinked and before she knew what was happening, she was covered in saliva from Oki. She started to shiver slightly, grossed out that she was now covered in spit. Ry had a need to always be cleaned and well groomed and currently she was far from that. She wanted to purr at the feelings he was creating within her, but the need to groom was far out-weighing the need to purr. Ryleigh pushed Oki away as she made a low growl noise in her throat. She then moved away from him in the grass, laying down only a few feet away. She glared at him playfully before starting to clean her neck. Ryleigh pretended to make faces as she cleaned his saliva off of her, like she hadn't tasted it before. She was actually happy to see him so playful and Ry hoped he would understand she was playing with him. Ryleigh then created a breeze around her, whipping her fur about. After a few moments, her fur was nice and try, fluffy even. Ryleigh smiled in satisfaction at a job well done and then turned to Oki. She stuck her tongue out at him before mocking. "How could you do that to me?! You know how i feel about being dirty." Ry let out a small giggle at the end and tired to look at him seriously.

[Oki]

As they both knew, it has been quite some time since they last saw each other and it made him think what she had been doing once she asked him the question. He was hoping that perhaps she would answer her own question in response, but she gave a shorter answer than what he expected. Though, he was happy that Ry had made friends of her own as she had. Speaking of, Oki was surprised with himself that he has, having never been good in finding others that he could call friends. Ryleigh was always much better at doing that; he was thinking that she probably had more friends than him and was curious just as much to meet them. The male smiled and nodded in response to her statement about having friends.

After he had been having his own way with her neck and playfully returning the favor as she did with his wing, Oki was about to ask to see what she had did with herself. However, he didn't get the chance to as she jumped up, having this superficial annoyance look on her face. It amused him by giving her more marks that she was his because sometimes, she didn't like the excessive amounts of slobber he would get on her and she would have the need to get it off. Even sometimes, it would bother him if she were to do that to him, though most of the time he ignored it was there and would then return the favor despite the repercussions.

As Ryleigh got up to move away, he made a play sad face, pushing out his lower lip, whining. Watching her finish up, she whined herself, asking him how he could do that and how she feels about being dirty. A devilish grin broke his sad face, thinking of how he could truly make her dirty. Easing up on his grin, it turned into a dopey grin before he spoke to her, "You like it and don't you dare deny it", Oki retorted back, "Now you ruined it and now I have to fix it", Oki got onto his feet in a ready to pounce position, licking his lips. Gracefully lunging himself at her, Oki unfurled his wings and landed on top of her, though never putting any of his body weight on her; instead placed his paws around her body. Then fluidly continuing his action he began to lower himself, pulling his weight to one side, pulling her with him. Rolling onto his back, Oki cocooned his mate with is wings, wrapping them around her as her belly was snugly placed against his. His plan executed perfectly, the same dopey grin from before was on his face as he looked at Ry. "Now...where was I?", he said, poking his tongue out of his mouth just a little bit as he moved his nose closer to her neck once more. However this time, instead of doing the same as before, he would gently lick at her neck affectionately, tugging on her fur there once in a while. After a while of doing this, his nose would trail along her jawline and down her neck, around her ears til finally down to her chest, 'purring' all along the way. "Mmm...you smell like springtime itself...so refreshing and...tantalizing", Oki had whispered into her ear as he passed by it, nipping it at the vocalization of his last word.

[Ryleigh]

Ryleigh had a smug smile on her face as she sat and looked at Oki. She wasn't prepared for what Oki did next however. Before she knew what was happening, Oki had swooped her up into his wings and had her cuddled close to his chest. Ryleigh let out a squeal at the sudden motions and burred her bead into his chest. She knew her mate wouldn't hurt her in any way but the quick movement still frightened her. Ryleigh could feel the purr coming from him and she snuggled into his chest further. Ry loved to snuggle and right now she was very content. Being wrapped up in Oki's wings always made her feel like everything was going to be alright, no matter what may come.

Oki then began his assault on her neck again, this time being more sensual. Ryleigh squirmed around, not really wanting it to go there. She hadn't seen him but she didn't just want to get down to it either. She wanted to enjoy some peaceful time with him. Ryleigh felt herself begin to purr. She was lost in the feelings for a moment when she reminded herself where they were. She stopped her purring noise and started to poke him in the chest with her snout. She placed kisses where she poked him, but never anything more then a peck. She heard him whisper into her ear and she let out a small sigh. "Oki, this is not the place nor the time." She got her own sniff of him though, as she was poking him. He had a woody, spicy smell. That was a smell Ry would be able to recognize from miles away. Ry decided to try something a little different this time. She went limp in his arms and just laid her head on his chest. She tried to ignore whatever he was doing, trying to fall back asleep on him. "If we weren't so out in the open i wouldn't mind, but we are in a field. Who knows who will come by." Ryleigh whispered softly to him. She wanted him to know she was happy about the way he still felt about her, but now was not the time nor the place.

As they lay there, Ry heard the growl coming from between them. She blushed when she realized the growl had come from her. Guess im a little hungry. It has been a while since ive feed. Maybe Oki would share something with me. "Would you like to share a meal? It seems to of been a while since i last fed my inner beast." Ryleigh let out a soft giggle and looked up at him with big, puppy dawg eyes.

[Oki]

The warmth of Ry's body against his own was comforting, in almost a sensual way. Oki chuckled softly as she squealed and pressed herself into him as he took hold of her with his wings. He knew she liked it deep down and she loved him to take her by surprised once in while. Just as how she was feeling, whenever he had Ryleigh this close to him, Oki felt as if time stopped and no harm could be done to either of them. Giving her a gentle squeeze with his wings and forelegs, he continued to suckle at her neck fur, planting soft kisses here and there. Almost reflexively, he could feel the inside of his thighs squeeze against her waist, his back claws even combing through her tail softly. The moment had become quite tranquil and perhaps he was diving too quickly into the deep moment they were having. To be honest, he couldn't help but be horny around his mate and the feelings she created within him whenever he saw her. Truthfully, isn't that what mates are supposed to do to each other; love each other to the utmost? Oh, he sure filled that criteria, no doubt.

Soon enough, Oki was forced out of the fantasy of the world only consisting of him and his mate by pokes on his chest. Opening his eyes, he found that Ry had become quiet and was poking her nose on his chest. He knew she was enjoying it, but she had said something; he could hear the reluctance in her voice however. Reaching upwards, he gave another nip and lick on her ear before answering, "I think the time is perfect, and we're in tall grass, not like anyone can see us without us hearing them first", Oki couldn't help but dispute her statement as he was passionate and lustful for his mate.

Despite his efforts to persuade her otherwise, Ry fell limp on top of him and Oki felt her relax. Was this a way of her telling him to 'have his way with her'. Inwardly Oki shook his head, only he could fantasize about stuff like that. She made him work for his rewards from her. He wondered what he had to do this time; he grinned just thinking about it and the result, fantasizing again in his own mind. A soft growl and a vibration on his belly broke the silence. Perking up his ears, he looked up at Ry with passive confused look. Tilting his head to the side, she told him that she was hungry and perhaps they could hunt together. Blinking a few times, a wide smile spread across his face, amused. "It's been a while for me too", he winked at her, seeing if she could figure out what he was alluding to. Though pushing his nose against her, as happy as ever, he became slightly more serious, "Now that you mention it though, I am quite hungry. I would love to share a meal with you. Whatcha hungry for?", he asked the proverbial question. Continuing to look into her eyes, he began to sway from side to side gently, as if rocking a pup to sleep.

[Ryleigh]

Ryleigh felt her eyes closing, as Oki rocked her back and forth. She was comfortable and warm and didn't want to be anywhere else in the world in that moment of time. Ryleigh let her mind wonder, as she relaxed. She pictured Oki and her lounging in a meadow, the sun shinning on their fur. She watched as she leaned into him, nibbling at his neck playfully. Ryleigh watched as a small pup pounced on to Oki for the tall grass beside them. Ryleigh watched as he landed on the large male and started to nom on his ears. Oki rolled over and started to playfully paw at the pup. Both were laughing, with paws and nips flying. Ryleigh watched as herself started to laugh with them, nosing at both of them. The female then started to wash off the cubs face as he tried to bury it in Oki's chest. Ryleigh was confused as she watched. Ryleigh heard a grumbling and she looked around. She wasn't really sure where it was coming from. Ry watched as the scene in front of her started to fade away. She opened her eyes and looked up into the blue eyes of Oki. I must of fallen asleep. That must of all been a dream, and some dream it was. Ryleigh heard the grumbling again, this time followed by a pain in her belly. That's right, i was hungry. Oki had asked her what she wanted to eat.

"Deer? Does that sound ok to you? Or do you want something else? I'm not picky." Ryleigh looked up at Oki, this time picturing the small pup when she looked into his eyes. The pup had the same bright blue eyes that Oki had. He also had the most adorable small wings. Ry shock her head to clear it, ashamed she had let her day dream get so far.

[Oki]

Hearing her murmur and giggle, Oki looked up and noticed she fell asleep. It seemed like she was always sleepy...at least around him. Though he couldn't help but agree when he snuggled up to her in such a comfortable way, it felt like he could pass out right there and sleep quietly. Even now Oki felt his eyelids were getting heavy and he felt them close, telling himself that he was just resting his eyes and he would open them in a little bit; though that never happened. The sun was warm and so was she with her body on top of his and he was about to drift off when he felt movement on top of him. Eyes blinking their way open, he yawned reflexively as he heard a muffled voice. Licking his lips, Ry was up and asking him questions.

Blinking a few more times, he allowed himself to stretch some without letting her go and listened to her suggestions and questions. He smiled, "Deer sounds just fine", his tails wagged behind him, "'Spose we should head off then before it gets too late...Did you see any today?", he had wondered and asked to see if dinner could be made a little easier. For a minute when she stared into his eyes, he gazed back, poking his nose against hers for a little bit before she blinked and looked away. For a moment, he wondered what he saw within her emerald green eyes, thinking she might be upset about something. After he had finished stretching but before he let her go, he asked, "Something wrong baby?"

[Ryleigh]

Ryleigh shook her head in answer to his question. "No no, everything is fine. I'm just letting my mind play tricks on me." Ryleigh smiled up at him to show him that she was really fine. Another growl from her belly reminded her of the mission they were now on. "Deer does sound good. And i believe i saw a heard on just beyond the tree line on the other side of the meadow." Ryleigh started to slowly climb off of Oki, making sure to rub her belly on him and any other part of her she could. She had a smirk on her face when she finally felt her paws hit the dirt. Ryleigh started to make her way across the meadow, swinging her tail as she went.

[Oki]

A familiar feeling passed across him when she had mentioned her mind was playing tricks upon her. Well, not really tricks per say, but more like thoughts and fantasies. Often he let his mind wander a little too far into the make believe sometimes, especially between Ry and himself. Oki couldn't help but chuckle lightly at her answer, "Oh?", he raised a brow in a teasing manner. He was curious of exactly what, but decided not to pry. Then another growl came from her belly, followed by one of his own. "The thought of food now is making me hungry", he laughed at himself, listening to where she saw the herd of deer. At least they were relatively close. With that, he was ready to go as was she as Ry pulled herself off him. Though, of course she had to rub her warm parts over his liberally before she finally lifted herself off. Biting his lips and curling them inside his mouth, he looked at her with a 'gee thanks' look as she smirked back at him. "She's not really helping me switch mental gears here...", he thought to himself, trying not to become aroused once more. Bouncing away, Oki rolled onto his belly and stood up, shaking himself out. Folding his wings after stretching them, he noticed how much she made her hips sway and her tail swing. Grinning to himself, he crept up just behind her before saying aloud, "You tease", he followed with a playful nip on her rump. Skipping away with laughter, he would see if she chased after him or not.
