~ The Chambers of Canos ~

[Canos]

Canos smiled happily as he felt her body shivering and quivering. He knew that she was about to give in and in a short while her legs released him and she fell to the ground with a hard and loud thud. Canos smirked. She would be fine. He had done more to her than that little bump. But for the conservation of his sex life, he let go of the posts and stepped down next to her, bending down and picking her up in his strong arms once he realized that she wasn’t getting up very quickly. Usually she got up from any hit with quickness and adrenaline but apparently she was worn out this time. He laid her down on the bed for the second time and looked over her. She was too tired for anything else to happen. Canos’s own adrenaline was coming to a close and he felt the fatigue and pain of his muscles. So, incoherently, he fell a bit onto the bed beside Ravyn, his head resting on her chest as he closed his eyes a bit. “Enjoy yourself?” he asked as he looked up at Ravyn after a time. He knew she had but it was nice to be told that he did a good job every once in a while.

[Ravyn]

Ravyn lay on the floor half because she was tired and half because she wanted to see what Canos could do. Occasionally it was good for him to realize that she wasn't indestructible. Of course, no one else got to see that. For Canos, though, it was a good thing to remind him of. He sometimes got a bit carried away. His strong arms enveloped her in short order, lifting her up gently. Ravyn was glad that she was the only one who really saw this side of him. His other women were just there for the sex, not because he was attached to them. As he laid her down, she clasped her hands over her stomach and looked up at him. A faint smile played on her lips, her brown eyes soft. "Indeed I did," she said sleepily. She snuggled up against him happily, nuzzling against his neck. Sometimes Ravyn liked cuddling, usually after a rough session. Her arm wrapped around his muscular chest as she kissed his ear, just enjoying being here with him. It was nice to have someone who understood her.

[Canos]

Canos smiled when she said that she had enjoyed the time with him, even with the bruises that she was going to have the next day. Canos supposed that it was the next day. Canos wasn’t so excited about the time after they had been with each other when she wanted just to hold him or something odd like that. Canos guessed that it was a girl thing and that she felt attached in some way, not matter if she was evil or not. He knew that it wasn’t love because neither of them had that. They respected each other and loved the feel of each other’s bodies but behind that there wasn’t much else. They reveled in each other’s minds as well. “Well I am glad. You don’t mind if I just stay here for the rest of the night. I am not fatigued for the moment to attend to anything else. Besides your body is as much pleasurable as it is comfortable.” He smirked, nuzzling against her chest, closing his eyes again. He would sleep well. Hopefully the jaguar wouldn’t eat him….stupid animal.

[Ravyn]

Ravyn knew Canos didn't like cuddling as much as she did. It was probably a girl thing. Still, she only did it with Canos. She knew that he would stay tonight; after that workout he couldn't do anything else. She liked to stroke his muscular chest when he slept, marveling in the perfection of his body. Usually he woke up, but she had perfected acting as if she was asleep. Besides, he probably wouldn't wake up tonight anyways. "Of course you can stay," she purred, "after all, it is your room." Ravyn softly ran her hand through his hair as he laid on her chest. He liked doing that. Women were natural pillows, it seemed. Sharan slowly fell asleep as well, enjoying the silence. Aside from an occasional twitch of his ear, he could have been carved from black marble. Slowly Ravyn closed her eyes, her hand on Canos' shoulder. Eventually she drifted into a tired sleep, her body regenerating her energy as she rested.

[Canos]

Canos didn’t mind Ravyn running her hand over his muscles because it felt rather comforting and soothing to him. It helped put him to sleep after a long day or an exhilarating exercise. It didn’t take her very long to fall asleep and Canos followed in suite shortly after her.


Canos woke up first the next day. He always woke up before anyone else when he was with her. All the women that he spent the night with stayed asleep for many hours after he had woken. It probably was because they were not used to the night before. Canos was still in Ravyn’s arms when he woke up, still resting on her, but his head had moved to her stomach instead of her chest. He stayed there, listening to her heartbeat and the rise and fall of every breath she made. Canos moved his hands to hers and slowly and carefully took them off his body. He silently slipped away from her grasp and stood up on the hard stone floor. He walked over to his clothes and began to slip on his pants and, picking up his swords. He was in no hurry, but he was trying to be asking quiet as he could. If he didn’t wake up Ravyn, he wouldn’t have to tell her where he was going.

[Ravyn]

During the night, Sharan had woken from his light sleep and roamed around the room, eating small bits of the elf occasionally and making sure Ravyn was still okay. Eventually he had crept under the large bed, sprawling out on the cool stone. As morning dawned, he awoke. Silent as a shadow, he moved to sit beside Ravyn's side of the bed. There he groomed himself until his fur was flawlessly black and sleek. He was awake when Canos stirred. His amber eyes watched his master's mate move about, preparing to leave. As soon as Canos was off of the bed, Sharan leapt lightly onto the mattress, sitting at Ravyn's feet.

Ravyn stirred as something heavy and warm alighted beside her. Rolling over, she groaned a bit as her muscles made known their protests. Sitting up a bit stiffly, she saw that Canos was going to leave. "Where are you off to, my king?" she asked sleepily, stretching her arms to work out the kinks in them. Absentmindedly, she scratched under Sharan's chin, bringing a satisfied purr from the giant feline. "Off to conquer the world again?" she said, arching her back and hearing the slight pop as her neck cracked. The morning after was always a little painful, but by noon Ravyn would be as limber as ever. She recovered quickly from any sort of physical stress.

[Canos]

Canos didn’t mind the jaguar at the moment. He was busy and it would be too noisy for him to kill the creature without Ravyn noticing. Canos simply continued to put his clothes on. Canos sighed as the creature woke Ravyn. If he had known that Sharan was just going to jump on top of Ravyn he would have just woken her up himself and a much nicer way. Either way she was awake now or she didn’t seem to be in a foul mood. Apparently her acing muscles hadn’t set in just yet. Canos would not be here when she began to feel their soreness. Then it seemed that she would be angry with everyone. That was only amusing when directed at others. “I suppose you could say that.” Canos replied, buckling his belt, strapping on his sheaths. “I seem to be good at that.” He smirked, walking over to Ravyn without his shirt on yet, “I can conquer people just as well as lands.” Canos sighed and looked down at his sheath, which was stuck, or something and he couldn’t get it to slide onto his belt right. “Yes….” He paused; “Yet I can’t get my clothes on right…” he shook his head. “I will just cut it.” Canos agreed to himself, drawing his short sword with a metallic echo and raised it above his head preparing to simply cut away his problem instead of fixing it. He didn’t have time to worry about it.

[Ravyn]

Ravyn winced as she moved, her bones aching with the movement. She grimaced, running a hand through her long tangled hair. She definitely needed a bath of some kind or at least an hour of time to get herself ready. After Canos left, though, she would probably sleep a bit longer. Getting out of bed, she dragged the blanket off with her, letting it trail behind her like a robe. Blinking sleepily, she shook her head at Canos' clumsy efforts. "Without me, you probably would have cut up all your clothes," she grumbled. Stupid male. Trying to cut a sheath off his belt. "Or you would be a eunuch," she noted. A male, you would think, would be more protective of his manhood. Roughly, a bit grumpy that he was being so dense, she yanked it around until it fell to the right position. "There, now you can go off and kill whomever. Remember, you are going to bring me back another victim," she told him. Motioning to the ravaged carcass of the thing that was once an elf, she advised, "you should get someone in to clean that." Ravyn wasn't going to do it; she was going to sleep some more.

[Canos]

Canos knew that Ravyn would be able to help him because to fix his clothing problem. She was a woman and women were always good at the small things that men would so hastily put aside as useless. Canos smirked and nodded his head. “I am sure your jaguar will eat the remains.” Canos shrugged. “Well I will bring you back something you can have fun with.” Canos smirked and then moved his shirt over his head and let it fall down over his chest, covering his body. He then walked over to Ravyn and smiled a bit, kissing her forehead. “Goodbye my dear. Until our next meeting, which I hope is soon enough.” Canos smiled again and then brushed by Ravyn, his feet carrying him quickly past Sharan and out of the room, closing the door loudly behind him.
