Summer heat seemed to roll off the hills, wrapping all it touched in its warm embrace. Humid and sticky, it was far from being a pleasant sort of heat. The fact that Tiayr seemed lacking in foliage made the weather downright unbearable, in fact. Trees were rare in these rolling hills, and the humidity was enough to agitate even the breeds best suited for warm climates.
Acarapi was panting as he picked his way down a gradual slope. He could care less about where the others had gone. Right now all he wanted was a means to cool off. Since company would be of no help in that department, he'd decided his band mates were useless and had wandered off on his own. A little self-exploration wouldn't kill anyone. It was lucky the gratification seeking bastard knew how to talk his way out of trouble, because he rarely did anything with someone else's permission.
It wasn't like the band needed him right now anyway. Last he knew they were still scouting the lands and forming some sort of plan. 'Too much talk, not enough action. Mmm, action... I could go for a little action right now. Wonder if this place is hidin' any pretty ladies.' His thoughts were reflected in his face, lips curving into a perverse smirk as he lazily eyed his surroundings. He'd never been one to just sit around and wait. Carpe Diem. Seize the day. If he wanted something, all he had to do was take it. The Red wolf was known for being quite the opportunist, and he always got what he wanted.
As the hills flattened out and opened into a small valley, the brute was all but lost to his imagination. Thinking up a fantasy was easy for him. All he had to do was remember a face and the experience flooded back like water over a broken dam. He was absorbed by a world of forgotten touches and lingering caresses, and he'd been with enough females in his lifetime to leave little up to the actual imagination. What a pity there was no one around to help him relive the fire burning within him that his mind kept nurturing.
Well, the fire was nurtured until a cold blast of water dared to extinguish it in one fell swoop. Acarapi had been so wrapped up in his sexual daydream that he'd failed to watch where he was going. The chilly water of Ia'gha Lake danced around him, thoroughly soaking his pelt and chilling him to the bone. The swim would have been quite pleasant if he'd actually been expecting it. Instead a string of curses was rushing from his mouth as he darted back to shore and fiercely shook out his short pelt.
"Damn friggin' water!" he spat out, glaring viciously at the shaded liquid. He'd been about to reach the best part of his little daydream when the unwelcome swim had ruined everything. Now instead of being pleasantly aroused Carp was wet, horny, and thoroughly pissed off. It was bad enough crossing his path on a good day. Now whoever was unfortunate enough to deal with him would be met with his temper, and the Red male was far from being sweet when angered.
