The rest of the night was pure intimacy through bonding in ways that did not require the sexual aspect of it. Talking and laughing and just existing for each other. Even though Mira could not move, Ming Tao enjoyed the companionship support and it helped him get done with everything faster.
Mira could barely walk and she did not want to be left alone so he carried her on his back while he took the baskets on every journey before coming back for the large carpet.
Mira suggested he rolled that one and rested it against a tree in case it rained till the bright morning and that was what he did before they headed to his quarters and shared a bed in their bed chambers. The one that was not prepared in the children's nursery.
Dong Mei took care of the cheetah pickles all night while they had their first alone time as parents. Just beast man and woman all alone in the comfort of themselves.
