The sun was starting to set. Oriel had walked around the barrier and was able to make the barrier wider. She didn't feel comfortable about Borus being able to jump over it. Anyone could jump over it and attack them again. She wasn't about to let that happen to them. Tassian still needed to heal. His wounds were getting better, but they still had a long way to go. Oriel knew that his shoulder would be the first to heal completely, but his hand was a different story. 

Oriel had allowed Borus and Draya to get enough rest so they could take watch when it was their turn. She didn't want them to fall asleep on duty again. Anyone else could come into the camp and attack them when they fell asleep. Oriel was just grateful that her skill woke her up in time. If it hadn't, she was sure that they would all have been killed. 

Once Oriel felt that the barrier was wide enough, she walked back over to where Tassian was standing by their small fire. Her stomach still flipped whenever she saw him with his shirt off. The light from the fire highlighted his muscles. Oriel smiled as she noticed that he was poking the fire with his good hand. That shoulder was healing nicely if he was able to move it like he was. 

Tassian smiled at her as she came to stand next to him. "Almost time to wake them up?" he asked her. 

Oriel nodded. "Yes, and then we'll be able to get some rest."

"Do you think we could use the tent?"

Oriel smiled as she shrugged. "Maybe." She looked up at the sun sinking in the sky and decided to go and get Borus and Draya. She moved around Tassian and knelt in front of the tent. "Borus? Draya? Time to switch." Oriel heard an annoyed groan come from inside the tent. She stood up and waited for them to come out of the tent. 

Borus rubbed the sleep from his eyes. "I promise we'll stay awake this time."

Tassian was behind her and rested a hand on her waist. "You better," his voice was laced with a silent threat. 

Borus nodded his head quickly while Draya smiled at them. She placed a hand on Borus' shoulder. "We'll be awake, Tassian." She motioned to the tent. "Get some rest." She wrapped her hand around Borus' arm and dragged him over to the fire.

Oriel wasted no time in ducking her head into the tent and settling down on the blankets. Tassian closed up the tent flap before laying down next to her. She moved over on her side to face him. She reached out and lightly touched his shoulder. The puncture wounds were still pink and healing, but he didn't flinch when she touched him.

"It doesn't hurt?" she asked him.

He shook his head as he looked over at her. "No." He held up his hand that was still wrapped. "My hand isn't throbbing anymore."

Oriel smiled. "Good." She moved her hand and started to run her fingers over his chest before running them slowly over his abs. She rested her hand right above his pants. She knew that she was teasing him, but she wanted to see how long it would take before he took over. Oriel looked up at him before turning around and closing her eyes. 

Tassian grumbled, "You're such a tease, Eagle."

Oriel smiled but didn't say anything. It was a couple of minutes before she heard him move and felt his arm snake around her waist, pulling her closer to him. She felt him, hard against her ass. 

"Do you want me to take control, Eagle?" his voice was deep in her ear. 

Oriel answered him by pushing herself against him, causing a low growl to come out of him. He rolled her over so she was on her back and he was on top of her. She looked over and noticed that he was putting weight on his injured hand. 

"Your hand is feeling better than you were letting on, huh?" She looked back up at him and smiled. 

He smirked at her as he leaned down and grazed his lips against her skin. "Much better." He started to run his tongue over the sensitive skin of her neck earning a moan to come out of her mouth. Instantly, he placed his hand over her mouth. His smirk widened. "You've got to be quiet, Eagle." He placed a soft kiss on her cheek. "We can't have the others hear you."

Oriel bit her lip as he slowly took his hand away from her mouth. She suppressed another moan as he trailed his tongue over her neck and his hands roamed underneath her shirt. He pulled the shirt over her head and continued to kiss down her. He massaged one of her breasts while taking the other in his mouth. Oriel bit the inside of her cheek to keep herself from moaning.

He used his other hand and shimmied her out of her pants. He sat up for a moment and she knew that she could enjoy this view of him forever. His wings were splayed out as far as the ten would let them. She bit her lip as he unbuttoned his pants and took them off. Throwing them to the other side of the tent, he climbed back on top of her and hovered at her entrance. 

Oriel groaned as he teased her. "Tassian," she breathed. "Please."

Tassian smirked as he met his lips with hers and goes inside her. Oriel wrapped her hands around his neck as he started to gain speed. She pulled him down closer to her and deepened the kiss. Tassian moaned as he grabbed her thighs and pulled them up, pushing himself deeper inside of her. 

Oriel pulled herself away from their kiss to arch her back leaving her neck exposed. He took the opportunity to drag his teeth down the sensitive skin of her neck. He growled deeply as she moved her hips up. 

"You drive me crazy, Eagle," he moaned out. He thrust harder as Oriel felt her orgasm rise. She bit her lip and suppressed her moan as she finished out her ride. Tassian wasn't far behind her. He pulled out and finished on her stomach.

Tassian looked down at her and placed a quick kiss on her lips. "Fuck, Eagle." He reached over and grabbed his bag, pulled out an extra blanket, and started to wipe her stomach off. He threw the blanket and bag to the side and laid down next to her. He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled at her. 

Oriel moved on her side to face him. "You didn't hurt yourself?"

Tassian shook his head. "No, Eagle." He took a deep breath before continuing, "I love you, Eagle."

Oriel smiled widely and leaned over to plant a long kiss on his lips before pulling back. "I love you, Tassian."
