Nest

Esca likes his small cot.

He knows Marcus is not very fond of the narrow bed.

It is amusing to Esca to feel Marcus crawl into his cot behind him, bodies flush. And within moments, Marcus will grunt and shift. Esca smiles, pretending not to notice as he reaches back to touch a sharp hip. His friend will push a hand over his waist and pull him closer. Another shift, another pained grunt as the sharp edge of the bed presses against Marcus' side. The cot is not made for two.

Esca will chuckle.

Marcus will curse softly.

Then he will throw the covers onto the floor in front of the hearth. A disturbed Cub rises to his feet, sleepy and confused at the tumble of blankets and humans invading his space. Esca will pet the wolf's head before his hands are captured by Marcus and pinned to the floor.

Trapped beneath the heated body. Enough room to stretch and arch and writhe in perfect comfort.

Room to sprawl bonelessly once sated.

Esca will laugh softly when Cub hops onto his abandoned bed, taking the warm spot left behind. Marcus will smile down at him and kiss the corner of his mouth.

Esca likes his small cot.

But he loves this sloppy nest of furs even more.
