This story contains a furry relationship and sex, if that is not your thing, that is fine. Otherwise, I hope that you enjoy.
Thank you especially to the people who helped me edit this, and who helped me with the terminology and biology. It was very helpful.

The stars hung low that night, twinkling like sprinkled pearls across a vast, dark ocean. They looked almost close enough to touch, even if her hand was so infinitely small against the sky.
Hinami sighed and retracted her hand back out of dreaming and into reality. Not that reality was all that bad, though a tad cold. Her fur, whilst excellently suited for camouflage against the sandy rocks here, speckled in brown and cream as it was, did not help her against the chilly midnight wind in Vol'dun up here on the bluffs.
She stretched her arms once more towards the skies, feeling her joints give a satisfying pop, before hauling herself up from the rock, brushing a few pebbles out of her tail as she walked back to the outcrop under which their caravan had camped for the night. Even from afar, she could hear Ateh's eternal, cheerful humming - and it set her stomach just as much aflutter on the hundred-and-first time, as it did on the very first. With a devious grin, she slowed down to better meld in with the rock, crouching down low and quiet as to not disturb her mate.
Gently, silently, she crept past their sleeping alpaca, past where their moving home has been secured with rocks, lest it might roll off the bluffs. Sticking her head out from behind one of the wheels, she could spot Ateh, silver fur illuminated with a halo of fire behind him, where he was currently arranging furs and blankets - his head once in a while turning upwards, to admire the stars she had gazed at but minutes before. He must have had the idea to sleep under the stars tonight.
She couldn't agree more.
With the stealth befitting of a skilled hunter, she stalked up behind the kill, making sure to keep to the long shadow he cast from the fire. She had to take a step to the side, lest his tail brush against her and ruin the surprise.
She took the last steps swiftly, as she wrapped one arm around his waist, spreading her hand across his stomach, as her other came to rest over his eyes. His brief but genuine startle she soothed with a playful:
"Got you now!"
as she barely withheld her laughter.
Recovering quickly and following in tandem, Ateh played his part brilliantly.
"Oh no, woe is me, I have been captured by a mighty bandit queen, oh no!"
Rather than struggling against her, he laid one hand against his forehead, hand above hers, as he swooned into her embrace. She barely managed to keep a straight face from his theatrics by nuzzling her snout against his neck and jaw, brushing up to whisper in his ear.
"That's right. Mine."
Ateh laughed, that wonderful laugh that made her heart sing.
