I found the og picture on Pinterest & immediately thought of nuka

“Agh,” the prince groans. He never has any trouble with invoking other feelings in his body, ironically. Why can’t he reach this feeling?

Brushing his hair back from his face with his fingertips, Cinaed takes a slow deep breath and crosses his legs beneath him, running his hands up his thighs. He’s interrupted when Gunnar’s scent hits him quickly and strongly.

The prince jumps to his feet, striding to the door and unbarring it just as Gunnar gets to it. Gods, that excited him. To feel his lover before he even sees him.

“Hi!” Cinaed beams. “Oops, sorry…” he says, chuckling at his naked appearance when Gunnar’s eyes drift down his body.

“I’ve been trying to shift. It’s so hard!”

After his talk with Finan, Gunnar gathers Luca with explicit thanks to his daughter for watching over him, then he heads home. Luca won’t stop licking his face as they ride back their cottage. To say their little wolf pup missed them would be an understatement. His little tail has been wagging furiously ever since Revna handed him to his Alpha.

“Just wait until your faðir see you…” Gunnar chuckles. “…he has a surprise for you.”

Once they arrive at their cottage, Gunnar puts Hrímfaxi away in the stable with some fresh hay. Holding Luca in his arms, they walk towards the door. The Northman chuckles when Cinaed opens the door before they even get to the front steps. No doubt his sense of smell getting stronger with his recent change.

Gunnar’s eyes trail down his lover’s body as an eyebrow quirks at his nakedness. Gunnar bites back a smirk as a sudden flush colors his cheeks and heat settles low in his belly. Gods, his mate will never not have this kind of effect on him, especially when he’s nude.

“That’s alright, baby…I’ll help you. I mean, we’ll help you.” Gunnar grins as he looks down into Luca’s happy face. His tail wagging furiously again.

“Here.” Gunnar places Luca in his mate’s arms. “He has cleaned my face ten times over. Now it’s your turn.” Gunnar chuckles as he steps inside their home. His heart fit to melt in his chest as Cinaed gushes over their son.

While Luca licks Cinaed’s face, Gunnar leans in for a kiss. The gentleness of the kiss interrupted when Luca tries to lick both of them and they can no longer hold back their laughter.

“Alright, alright…let me strip, then we can practice.” Gunnar chuckles as he starts tearing off his tunic. 

Forest Kiss….🥰

Rip Yahya & Wihtgar you two would’ve loved gay marriage

Through the stinging hot embers and choking black smoke, Kanya presses forward while keeping a watchful eye on the raging wildfire nearby. She can feel tears forming on her eyelids but she is unsure if it is from the acrid air or from watching her homeland go up in flames.

‘What a miserable year it has been’. She thinks to herself. First her parents, then her sister Uhuru’s mate. The drought had taken everything dear to them, leaving the Barakoa females alone to care for two small cubs.

Her paws are burning from walking on hot ash now. She blinks back her tears and tries to focus on her sister’s rapidly disappearing silhouette. The tall dead grass has all but consumed her little sister Sade’s tiny frame, her parents’ last cub. Her mother had warned Kanya before her passing. “One cub. One precious cub between myself and your sister. Our bodies cannot sustain life. This famine will take us all.”

“Auntie.”

Kanya is snapped out of her morose reverie. “Yes, Solo.” She looks down at her sister’s cub, the only male Barakoa now, and tries to hide the worry that must be ravaging her face. She was never really good at hiding it.

His little voice chirps up to her, “Auntie Nakuru is falling behind again!” He trots off, proud of himself for keeping an eye on his wayward aunt.

Kanya lifts her head and focuses her gaze on her littermate. She has her back turned to them, staring off into the distance.

Her sister was always a daydreamer. Perhaps even a little ditzy at times. Kanya sighs and tells her nephew to stay put. Wandering off with a nearby wildfire could be a fatal decision. And she certainly wasn’t losing Solo while he is in her care. Her sister would never forgive her.

“Nakuru. Naku? What do you see?”

No answer.

Kanya climbs the hill to stand beside her sister. Looking down into the valley they just travelled is a strange lioness. She’s large and dark in form and is heading directly towards them.

With excruciating effort, Cinaed convinced Gunnar to stay behind, for their baby’s sake. Luca was much too young to travel, still new within their household, and he needed Gunnar. The prince had grown so protective over their pup that he trusted no one but his own father to watch over him at such a young age. To them, he was the ultimate symbol of their love for one another.

Cinaed tries to be strong. He was commander of his realm, fought in the last war without a second thought, and yet he was so close to bursting into tears at the thought of being separated from his lover. It would only be days apart, thankfully. He’d take utmost care.

As Gunnar walks with him towards the stables at the fortress, Cinaed gives him a beaming smile, his amber eyes glowing up at him.

“Ætlarðu að haga þér vel?” The prince purrs.

@cinaedofulaid

Gunnar’s lips twitch at the corners when Cinaed asks if he’ll behave. “Líklega ekki…

...en ég geri það fyrir þig.”

“I don’t like this…” Gunnar softly says. “…being parted from you.”

It feels like a piece of me is being ripped out…

He knows why he’s staying behind, but it doesn’t make it any less painful. Cinaed wants to ensure his mother’s safety, and Gunnar has to watch over Luca. Keep their son protected and provided for. It’s too risky to bring the pup on a journey like this, with how young he is. What if he shifts to his human form, and Gunnar can’t get him to shift back. Even though he has been responding well to Gunnar’s shifts. Mimicking when Gunnar shifts into the black wolf. It’s just too much of a risk.

Wrapping and arm around Cinaed’s waist as they stand in front of the stables, Gunnar pulls him close to his chest. Gods, they have only been parted for hours at a time, not days. He’s going to go mad not having his mate by his side, but he tries to put on a brave face. He knows this isn’t easy for Cinaed either. Especially now that they have a family. Tilting his lover’s lips to his, Gunnar gives him a kiss filled with longing and devotion.

“You’re taking Maelock and Lorcan with you, right?” Gunnar asks. They are the only two men he trusts watching over his beloved while they are parted.
