Dynamics Pt. 04

Aftercare too was just as important as rougher play itself. That was something that Mark was yet to learn.

But he had her to take care of him. All as he languished in slumber, needing Mercy to draw the bedsheets over him as he drifted off. Mark, however, no longer had to hide how his eyes lingered on her form, how he admired her strength, her obvious power, not when such changes and a shift in the balance between them had already come to pass.

His body ached fiercely. And, still, the cougar slept with a smile on his muzzle, his tail longingly laid out over his sister's thigh.

The funny thing was that, with Mercy, he didn't think that he ever wanted to be without those bruises ever again. And if she was willing to leave even more permanent marks on him, with her teeth and claws too, that would be something that Mark would be very much willing to explore.
