Animal Girl of Sabertooth. Rogue x OC

Chapter Ten

A laugh escapes my lips as Rogue wraps his arms firmly around my waist. Pressing my back against his defined chest. His thumbs rubbing my stomach in a caressing manner, yet, it has been tickling my skin since the beginning.

His chest rumbles as a throaty chuckle leaves his lips. Frosche and Violet up ahead, building sand castles within the boiling hot sand. The sun blaring down on us. The beach that we happened to stop at is empty. A somewhat secluded beach that is hidden by high mountains, the only way down is to hike down.

But in our case, Lythious was glad to leave the confines of my mind and give us a lift down. So here we are. Myself and Rogue cuddling up against the cliff, and our two exceeds playing, and building castles. The thoughts of getting home before the others completely gone from our minds.

The sun has been up in its highest peak for hours, and has it now only started to fall from its point in the sky. Our view utterly perfect of the soon to be beautiful bright hues that will coax the horizon. But, after the sun lowers and is replaced by the moon, we will continue our journey. Arisian's speed will have us home within two hours at most.

A town is close by. A large town, known for trading ore's and jewels. Many of the buildings large and expensive interiors, along with the exteriors. The mines surrounding the town are near enough always covered up unless in use. Yet, a large cave behind us, hidden but with a stream that leads to the sea.

Perhaps if we find any ore in there, we might get some extra jewels. Huh? Well. Frosch and Violet already did, and are adding the jewels to their sand castles.

"This has been an amazing day... Don't you think, Ro?" I ask, pulling my hair over my shoulder, shifting my body to the side, pushing my legs to the side over his thigh. I wrap my arms around his neck, pressing my forehead against his chest. Underneath the skin, the ribcage and lungs, his heart beats firmly. Something I can't hear due to the crashing waves.

"I couldn't agree more, and what's settling is that we don't have to worry about hiding it when we get home. No?" I grin, pressing a faint kiss against his chest. His attire the only thing blocking it from reaching his skin. The thought of not having to hide it anymore sends shivers of delight down my spine.

"So you too moving in together?!" I slowly look over my shoulder to see Violet, her fur covered in sand. I roll my eyes. The yellow and orange sand sticking against her raven fur.

"Maybe Violet. But, I'm pretty sure our small little room on the fourth floor of Sabertooth would to be small for four people. Renovations should be on order. Don't you think Rogue?" I glance back him to see a smile lining his lips, his eyes staring at Frosch smiling, cheering and having tremendous amounts of fun. His eyes look at me before nodding.

Slowly turning around again so my back is pressed against his chest, his arms returning to wrap around my waist.

"Frosch no longer has any reason to be scared. Now that Jiemma is gone forever." His voice soft, his emotions coaxing his voice. Before this week, that voice was only for me, Violet and Frosch. No one else. But now, he doesn't have to keep up his rough exterior. Nor do I or anyone else in Sabertooth.

"But, I do suggest having renovations. I'm on the fourth floor. Only I was and Minerva. Minerva's vanished, so easily taking down a wall or two wouldn't be bad. Would it?" I grin, Rogue nodding, his body slowly lowering back until its pressed against the sand. My back still against his chest.

"I'm sure Sting will approve. Or, we can just simply do it without telling him." I laugh, agreeing. "Sting won't notice. The big idiot. He's on the first floor. Obviously because he was closer to the exit to get food from town."
