Denali National Park...Providing Mountain Viewing Experiences for a Few Million Years! by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: This was one of the first views that I had of Wonder Lake along the namesake trail from the North Face Lodge area. I had just come through a saddle between two hilltops and had this open plain in front of me with it's amazing view. That is what I was attempting to capture with this image in angling my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward and bring out a sweeping view across the tundra to my front with its vibrant colors of red, orange and yellows. The eyes would definitely be drawn to the waters of the lake and take in the wonder of the snowcapped peaks of Denali and the Alaska Range.

Inktober Days 25-27
Day 25: Dangerous
Tumblr media
I don’t like this prompt. Every national park can be dangerous, and the deadliest places in parks, hands-down, are the roads, where drivers are distracted by wildlife and scenery. But if we’re going with pure statistics, excluding automobile accidents, then the most dangerous park, according to Backpacker Magazine, is Denali. The main cause of death is exposure, followed by falls. Despite what many folks might assume, there has only been one fatality caused by a bear in the park’s entire hundred-year-plus history.
National parks, overall, are pretty safe places. Park rangers work hard to keep them that way, trying to balance the wilderness experience with the health and safety of the visiting public. We implore folks to follow common safety measures in the backcountry and along the roadways, and there’s a whole facet of rangering called “PSAR”—preventative search and rescue. These folks are usually stationed at popular trailheads, checking that people have the proper gear, water, and footwear to successfully complete the hike. PSARs are your friends! Listen to the PSARs!
Day 26: Remove
Tumblr media
When seasonals sit down for ranger training at the beginning of the summer, there’s one topic that we know we’re going to hear about, no matter which unit in the system we’re in. Invasive species. From lionfish to kudzu to emerald ash borers to toadflax, every park has its problem species that are taking over native ecosystems. Removal is a tricky, labor-intensive process—if they can be removed at all.
The Everglades are a prime spot for invasive species—they’re considered one of the most severely-infested parks in the system in terms of nonnative plants. The subtropical environment, combined with the famous issues of humans releasing exotic pets into the wild and planting exotic gardens, mean that some of these species can multiply rapidly with no natural checks and balances. Rangers work hard to keep invasives from destroying habitat needed by native plants and animals, but the truth is, in many cases the damage is done, and exotics are simply here to stay.
Day 27: Beast
Tumblr media
How fortunate are we to share a continent with bison? Is there any animal more iconic of rolling American wilderness, or more representative of the sins and triumphs of our history? The bison is our national mammal, and the symbol on our ranger patch to represent the wildlife protected by the National Park Service.
Working in parks with bison, like Theodore Roosevelt, always creates an extra layer of excitement to the job. I’ve been late to work because of bison jams along roadways and had to physically move programs because bison were hanging out in the amphitheater. I once couldn’t take my trash out because a bison had bedded down just steps from my door. As a ranger, it’s easy to start thinking of bison as giant, bullheaded nuisances, but then you lock eyes with one outside your car window, and you remember—oh, this beast is the heartbeat of this landscape, my elder and my companion, and I’m dead privileged to wear her image on my chest.

There's still a few more days left to preorder Thirty-One Days of National Parks: The Artbook!

are there really that many bears in Alaska? asking bc you often include a very cute bear in your photo sets
It depends what part of Alaska you're in!
Juneau is absolutely overrun with Black Bears. They move around a bit, so sometimes you won't see any for days at a time, but also if you live there long enough, you're basically guaranteed to encounter a few "trash bears" just poking around garbage cans right in the downtown area. They're the hardest to see when they first start waking up because they can be anywhere, but then they get much more consistent with certain food sources. Driving past the dump, you often see them rolling around in the adjacent fields. Throughout late spring, they like to graze on the wildflowers along the roadsides, and you can often see the really little cubs with them. When the salmon run starts later in the summer, there are a few spots you can go where bears are basically a guarantee. Throughout the first 2 weeks of August and then again in the first week of September (i.e. the chum and then the pink runs), I could think to myself "I want to go see the bears today" and go see the bears. On my best day last summer, I had a total of 12-13 (with one that might have been the same bear twice).
We don't really get Brown Bears in Juneau—they show up every so often, but mostly if you want to see them in the area (and you should, because they're the really cool giant ABC Islands Bears, which are almost as big as Kodiak Bears), you need to head out to one of the islands like Admiralty, which has the world's highest bear: human population ratio (3:1!).
When I lived in Anchorage over a summer, I saw no bears around the city (though people often do!) and had to drive down the Kenai to see any Black Bears that whole year. They get Brown Bears down toward Seward and Homer too, but pretty rarely, and I've never seen one around there. On the other hand, I've never been to Denali and not seen multiple Brown Bears. And then any location you would go on trips specifically to see bears because of a seasonal food source like a salmon run (e.g. Katmai, Pack Creek by Juneau, Fish Creek in Hyder, Kodiak, Lake Clark, etc. (though I haven't done those last two yet)) will have dozens of bears around during the season.
And then there are some parts of the state (Interior and Far North) where bears are common but there is just so much space for them that you're less likely to encounter them. I have been hiking around Fairbanks a decent amount and, while you definitely have to take serious bear country precautions, I've never actually seen a bear around there. I've driven the whole Dalton Highway twice, where Brown Bears are very common, and I've only seen one over the course of a total of 8 days and almost 2000 miles covered. The Alcan route I drive on the other hand, which crosses Interior into Yukon, usually has bears—over the course of driving it three times, I've seen 5 Brown Bears and 3 Black Bears, and I've been told I had "pretty bad bear luck" on those trips (my friend Alex once had a single trip count of 9 Brown Bears and 7 Black Bears!).
I was trying to estimate the number of bears I have seen in Alaska, but it is essentially completely impossible. Definitely over 100 individuals of each species! Single days that stand out to me are that one 12 bear day in Juneau (that was at the Shrine during the end of the pink salmon run), one day driving the main road into Denali when we had a total of 22 Brown Bears and started having to drive right past them since we wanted to have time to look for other wildlife, and the only time I've been to Brooks Camp in Katmai, when we had a conservative estimate of 48 total Brown Bears.
This turned into a very long answer (can you tell I love talking about bears!) but basically: tl;dr yes there are a metric fuckton of bears in Alaska.

Giving you and Edward privacy, Evita goes back to the bonfire. She does give one last look to the vampire, as if wondering if it was okay to leave you alone with something like him. Regardless, Evita leaves, carrying her bag that held the ritual items she would have used.
You watch her figure join the bundles of trees just to make sure she was heading in the right direction. Satisfied that she’d find her way safely, you turn to Edward who offers his hand out to you. “Care to join me for a walk?”
Hesitant fingers slide along his cold hand. Your body temperatures were solar opposites. The two colliding sent a rippling tingling that started from your palm and up your arm. Edward felt it too as he his body jolts slightly from the sensation.
“Alice called you?” You ask as you fall into step alongside him. “She said you were at Bella’s with the Denalis.”
He nods. “Yeah. But I told them there was somewhere I needed to be. Alice was freaking out. I think I freaked out a little bit more. . .”
The gentle singing of the river gets closer the further you and Edward delve into the forest. Leisurely you bump into one another in a soothing rhythm, wandering with no real destination.
“How is she doing? Bella? I saw her sometime ago and we had lunch.” You hadn’t gained the courage to call her yourself. While the two of you had spoken in a civil manner, you were still uncomfortable with the thought of ringing her up yourself. Jacob wanted friendship to blossom between you and Bella, but it was too soon for that. Especially with Edward making a stance and choosing to go after you.
“Healthy. Healthy and safe.” That was all he ever wanted for Bella. You nod and move to continue along the riverbank but Edward stops you. “Wait. I know we’re fated to be together, but I feel like there is still so much I don’t know about you. You probably know more about me.”
What was there to know about you? Before turning into a wolf, your life had been normal. So normal that it could border on being mind painfully boring. A life of rinse and repeat. Wake up, go to school, come home, do homework, then go to bed to do it all over again the next day. Occasionally on the weekends your small family might go out for a refreshing hike or even fishing.
Going on to tell Edward of your simple life on the reservation, you describe your mother and father; both hard working people and yet always generous to those who had even less n than you did. Like when Harry Clearwater died, they made sure Sue and her kids were fed for weeks. Your mom would stay up late preparing casserole dishes and other easy to heat up meals so that Sue wouldn’t have to worry about her family eating. They even picked up Seth (along with the others) for carpool.
Never wanting them to worry more than they needed to, you tried your entire childhood to be a good kid. Being a wolf though changed that. Now constantly worried about your wellbeing, all you could do was give them hollow promises that you would be safe. That was not the job of a Quileute wolf though. Combating danger was. And fighting vampires guaranteed that you were never safe.
“Do they know about me?” Hesitantly he brings up the imprinting. Unsure of how much your parents really knew about your others life.
Pursing your lips, you relent. “To an extent. They don’t really know imprinting itself but they understand that something is going on between us, whatever that may be. But they don’t know what you or the rest of your family are. Just that you’re descendants from the stories that we tell of the Cold Ones.”
Not it mention that they probably thought you still had a crush on Embry. Your parents saw it immediately when both of you were small children. Their giggles could be heard whenever you and Embry hung out and they were home. Worse was when Quil threatened to tell Embry at one point if you didn’t do whatever he said. That threat didn’t hold up when your hurled your small body at him and pinned him to the ground; hissing that you would spit in his face right then and there if he promised to keep it a secret.
“You know, I still don’t know much about you either. I know that you were the first vampire Carlisle created, but nothing else.” What you really wanted to know was what was his life like when he was a human. But you realize how sensitive that topic could be. His human family was definitely dead by now.
His gaze warms thoughtfully. When he spoke, along with fondness came the sting of sorrow. “Before Carlisle saved me from the Spanish influenza, I grew up in Chicago with a vacant father and a loving mother. Nothing particularly exciting happened during that time. I was seventeen when my mom and I got sick.”
That tender smile twitched downward for a split second at the memory of his mom and the day he became an immortal. You couldn’t imagine losing your own mother the same day you discovered you could live forever.
Edward notices the sad gleam on your face and he makes sure to lift his lips back up into an easygoing grin. “Don’t be sad. I’ve had many decades to mourn and grieve and really understand the opportunity she wanted me to have. With this life I was able to get not one, but two medical degrees, learn a handful of languages, and so much more.”
He truly had lived much longer than you. You were still the young and naive age of sixteen despite looking like a full grown adult thanks to the wolf transformation.
“That’s incredible. I’ve never been out of the state of Washington.” You bemoan and pick through the rocks that lined the slow trickle of water.
He laughs a little. “You still have plenty of time to change that. I never left Illinois when I was human either. There was the option of boarding school out of state, but I didn’t feel comfortable leaving my mom alone.” Edward sits down along the bank with a sigh and leans his head back. The sky was already a dark blanket with stars embroidered into it. His skin nearly glowed in the starlight.
You wouldn’t learn everything about him in one single night. For now, this was enough.
**
Evita couldn’t help but release a relieved breath as she walked out of the thick of trees and back to Sam Uley’s house. Happy that she didn’t have to perform a life changing spell like that. While she was more than capable, there were a lot of things that could have gone wrong for her to intervene with strong forces. Edward and (y/n)’s differences may prove to be challenging, almost to impossible, but Evita had a good feeling that things would work out for them in the end. Patience and communication was required on both sides. (Y/n) had a good head on her shoulders though. At least from what Evita could see from the short amount of time they had known each other.
Already Evita could see the orange glow of the bonfire and hear many voices reveling. For a second, she felt a ping of homesickness. Being among the warmth of a close knit community had her longing for her family. She wouldn’t be able to go home for quite awhile. There was much work to do here. Her mother had understood the duty she felt and commended her daughter.
Most of the seats closest to the fire were already taken by other members of the pack and elder’s council. There was one seat however that was still empty. Next to the only other female wolf.
Leah right?” Evita walks up to her and points to the plastic folding chair propped next to her. “Is it okay if I take this seat?”
The she-wolf flicked her dark umber eyes over to the witch, nodding her consent silently. Leah observed Evita carefully as she sat. “Where’s (y/n)?”
Grinning, Evita looked back over her shoulder at the forest. “Thought I would let her and Edward have some privacy as they talk.”
That seemed to make her draw even further into herself. “I thought I smelled a leech.”
“Oh? What do vampires smell like to you?” She innocently asked with a cock of her head. Leah had never paused to really describe a vampire’s scent.
“Grossly sweet.” Was all she could find to explain.
Humming with thought, she leans back in her chair, her view filled with the laughing faces of the younger members of the pack and the thoughtful ones of the elders. “How funny and odd this world is.”
Leah didn’t think it was funny at all. More like some cruel joke that she would never get the hang of. In every single way, this whole wolf thing had royally messed up her life. There was no solace she could take.
She knew that if she told Evita about Jacob imprinting on her, that Evita wouldn’t find the world quite so funny.
It was on the tip of her tongue as bitterness nearly won her over. Evita was genuine though and only wanted to get to know the pack better. She was willing to protect them with her magic after all.
Gulping back whatever sour thing she could have said, Leah asked her “Was this your first time encountering vampires?”
“Yes. They weren’t quite as I imagined. A visiting witch came to our house one day and told us about them. How terrifying it is to be in front of one. Even of the massive coven called the Volturi.”
(y/n) had mentioned them too. If they were enough to make the Cullens fear them, then they must be a big deal.
Her concern was palpable and Evita told Leah reassuringly “Like I told the rest of the pack, I’ll do my best to protect everyone here in Forks. I just might need to call in one more person. . .”
Eyebrows lift quizzically, Leah sits up a little straighter. “Another witch?”
She nods. “I would have preferred my grandma to come, but she’s too old for traveling and my mom is too busy taking care of my sisters. There’s someone else I know. Thing is they’re in Haiti right now so it would take a while for them to fly here.”
“You don’t think you can do it by yourself?”
“I can make all the wards myself, but I won’t have enough energy to install them strategically around Forks. I would ask the pack to help me, but they need to have a proper knowledge of magic that would take me months to teach. And with the informants that the Volturi possess, who knows how long we have until they know about this Bella girl.”
Anxiety would have besieged Evita, it should have from all the responsibility. She was good under pressure though and knew that she shouldn’t waste her time worrying. Leah watched the expression of determination calm the witch’s features. Even if it was just herself, she would do the best she could.
“Calling your friend is always worth a shot. . .” Leah murmured; Evita’s beaming confidence was contagious. “You never know. Like you said, the world is odd and funny. They might be able to make it if they plan properly.”
Evita shot Leah a bright smile. “You’re right! I’m going inside to call her.”
Knowing she could offer appreciated assistance, Leah grins to herself and glances over at the dancing flames. Her rigid demeanor softened and one could say she was at peace with herself for but a moment.

Christopher McCandless, The Man who Hiked to Death
Born February 12th 1968, in Inglewood, California, Christopher McCandless was immediately plunged into a chaotic family. His sister, Carine McCandless, documented in her book ‘The Wild Truth’ that they shared their home with six half-siblings. Carine also alleged that her parents were abusive, both physically and verbally, toward the McCandless children. She documented how her father was an alcoholic, and their mother often fed off his evil energy, inflicting her own abuse upon them.
The McCandless never stayed in one place for long as Walt McCandless worked for NASA as a rocket scientist, taking him across the U.S. Eventually, the family settled in Virginia long enough for Christopher and Carine to graduate.
Following his graduation from university, Christopher knew he needed to travel. He had spent much of his childhood moving from town to town, state to state, and this had a profound impact on his outlook on life.
He only stayed in one place for a short time, seeing the beauty in exploring the world. In mid-1990, Christopher left Virginia for new pastures and began driving West. He stopped in towns and cities along the way, picking up odd jobs to make ends meet.  By April of 1992, Christopher was itching for another adventure, and that is when he decided to make his way to Alaska, the final frontier of the U.S. 
Incredibly, Christopher managed to hitchhike from Carthage, South Dakota, to Fairbanks, Alaska, a whopping 3,000+ miles through Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and Yukon, Canada. Eventually, he arrived, and he began planning his largest expedition yet. He wanted to hike through the Denali National Park. The park covers over 6,000,000 acres in the middle of Alaska. Communities are few and far between, with many Alaskans congregating near large towns and cities.
Despite the harsh weather conditions of Alaska, Christopher McCandless seemed ill-prepared. Fellow hikers and locals recalled seeing Christopher arrive in Fairbanks carrying only a backpack. He also stood out for his ‘Hippie-like’ appearance, choosing to remain unkempt and dirty. April 28th 1992, would mark the last day that Christopher McCandless would ever see the seeds of civilisation. 
That day, Jim Gallien was flagged down by Christopher, who was looking for a ride to the Stampede Trail in the Denali National Park. Gallien later told author Jon Krakauer that he had doubts about the 24-year-old’s survival from the start. When he got into his car, Christopher had minimal clothing and a backpack. Christopher explained that he was carrying a 10 lb bag of rice, a Remmington semi-automatic rifle and a pair of Wellington boots inside his bag.  Gallien was, in fact, so concerned that he offered to drive Christopher to Anchorage so that he could purchase the necessary equipment for him. He knew how harsh and unforgiving the Alaskan landscape could be, and per population, it has an alarmingly high missing persons rate. Throughout their drive, Christopher assured Gallien that he would be fine and had hiked many times before. 
It wasn’t until months later that Gallien learned Christopher’s real name, as when he had picked him up, he had simply given the name ‘Alexander Supertramp’. The only item that Christopher accepted from Gallien was a map. Before leaving, Christopher asked Gallien to snap a picture of him at the Stampede Trail, making this one of the last photographs ever taken of Christopher McCandless.
For two days, Christopher hiked the Alaskan wilderness, soaking in the beauty of the Denali National Park. After a gruelling march, Christopher made it to an abandoned blue and white bus. Whilst the exterior was rusted and hadn’t been loved for some time, Christopher recognised it was the perfect shelter and base camp. He wasted no time setting up his gear and prepping his new home.
The blue and white bus that would become a notorious tourist hotspot was not Christopher’s intended finish line. According to his diary, which was later discovered with his body, Christopher had planned to hike through the park and to the Bering Sea. Christopher remained at the blue and white bus for two months, eagerly journaling every step. Christopher wrote in his diary that he had begun consuming the roots of the Hedysarum Alpinum plant.  Christopher also detailed in his diary how he had trapped and hunted small game and wildlife. He had successfully hunted a moose/caribou with his rifle. However, the meat was rotten by the time he came to consume it. With just 10 lbs of rice and foraged plants, Christopher rapidly began losing weight. 
The lack of food and people was beginning to get to Christopher, who heavily documented his trip via his journal and camera. On July 3rd 1992, Christopher packed up his things, leaving the blue and white bus behind.
With a map in hand, Christopher hoped to reach civilisation once more, but the landscape had changed and he became distressed and returned to the blue and white bus to wait out the days until the river froze over once more. 
On July 14th, he also began to incorporate the seeds of the Hedysarum Alpinum plant into his diet, as was documented in his diary. The meagre diet of plant material and small animals was nowhere near enough to sustain Christopher, who continued to waste away. As he continued to weaken, he lost his energy and ability to forage further afield for plants and fruits. 
Christopher McCandless made his final diary entry on what he noted as ‘Day 107’. The entry simply reads, “Beautiful blue berries.” Author Krakauer noted that days 108 through 112 had / (slashes) but no words, and after Day 113, no more entries were made. Sometime around these final diary entries, Christopher wrote, “I have had a happy life and thank the Lord. Goodbye, and may God bless all.” It is clear Christopher knew his end was coming, and he had made his final preparations and peace with his fate. 
 It wasn’t until September 6th 1992 that the grizzly truth would be revealed.
That day, hikers in the Denali National Park came across the blue and white rusted van that Christopher had once called home. 
These hikers had the same idea as Christopher and were eager to use the bus as shelter.
When they approached the bus, they found a note taped to the door which read “Attention possible visitors. S.O.S. I need your help; I am injured, near death and too weak to hike out. I am all alone; this is no joke. In the name of God, please remain to save me. I am out collecting berries close by and shall return this evening. Thank you, Chris McCandless, August.” 
As they moved through the bus, they saw the familiar outline of a human in a sleeping bag. After reading the note, they hoped that Chris had managed to survive, but all hopes were dashed when the stench of decay overcame them. The hikers took a closer look, and their worst suspicions were confirmed. Christopher McCandless was deceased, his body decaying in a sleeping bag in the back of a rusted-out bus. 
Alaska State Troopers and Denali Park staff were summoned to the bus where Christopher’s body was recovered. His family were notified of the terrible news, and preparations for his body to be returned to Virginia were made.
Christopher’s passing marked a turning point in the culture surrounding hiking and travelling. He had wilted away in the wilderness when a bridge and cabin were within a few miles of his location.

What if the Cullens had killed Victoria alongside James? How would the rest of canon go?
Oh boy, here we go.
First off, New Moon starts the same.
The reason Edward dumped Bella had nothing to do with Victoria (as the Cullens then only vaguely thought she might be pursuing them/Bella and Edward mostly used chasing her as an excuse to give him purpose in the bleak world without BEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAA).
So, Bella gets her papercut and a few days later finds herself getting dumped by Edward with a "It's not me, it's you" speech for the ages. Bella still enters her state of serious depression and seeks out Jacob who reacts the way he did in canon.
The difference is Sam Uley doesn't have a weird cult gang as the mass shifting isn't happening. It's just Sam being weird, and Jacob might mention to Bella "Yeah, he keeps running off all the time and dumped Leah and is engaged to her cousin now. Also, he may have cut up Emily's face." but it's not likely as Jacob didn't hang around Sam too much beforehand and he no longer has the existential dread of watching his friends disappear one by one while knowing he's next.
Instead, Jacob becomes increasingly angry on Bella's behalf about this Edward guy who sounds like a total dick. I imagine he gets increasingly frustrated as he watches Bella just destroy herself over this kid who's not even here (when Jacob's right here) who treated her like shit (when she and Jacob get on great) and Jake just doesn't get it. He tries to talk to Billy who gets a thousand yard stare and tells him that it's all for the best and Bella will get better sooner or later.
Bella hikes to the meadow, finds it empty, and doesn't run into Laurent who is not there because Victoria never confronted him in Denali.
However, even as Bella eventually jumps off a cliff, as Jacob saves her (or doesn't but we'll say he does), Alice sees this. Eventually either Bella will try to move on (as she seemed somewhat prepared to do in canon after the cliff diving) or she'll succeed in truly injuring or killing herself (at which point Edward goes to Volterra).
Edward probably won't be able to resist temptation to spy on Bella from afar and, depending when this is, he'll have a mixed response to Jacob (both loathing and loving him for being so good to Bella and so HuMaN) or he'll be dreading watching whichever college boy sweeps Bella off his feet. Depending how this goes Bella's significant other might get murdered if they're not up to snuff or else Edward will break and beg her to take him back.
Canon doesn't happen.

An Alaska woman who murdered her friend in the hope of a $9 million payoff has been jailed for 99 years.
Denali Dakota Skye Brehmer, one of two young people charged in the 2019 killing of Alaska teenager Cynthia Hoffman in a murder-for-hire scheme, was jailed on Monday after pleading guilty in February 2023 to first-degree murder.
Court documents showed that Brehmer was 18 when she and two other teens were catfished online by 21-year-old Darin Schilmiller, who pretended to be a millionaire named “Tyler” and offered the teens $9m for the “rape and murder of someone in Alaska”.
He also asked the teens to send him photos and videos of the killing, according to court documents.
Brehmer agreed to the offer, and enlisted the help of four friends, Caleb Leyland and Kayden McIntosh, along with two unnamed juveniles.
Authorities accused Brehmer and her alleged accomplices of luring Hoffman to Thunderbird Falls in Chugiak, an unincorporated community in Anchorage, under the guise of a friendly hike.
During the hike, Hoffman – who thought of Brehmer as her “best friend” – was duct-taped and shot in the back of the head and put into a river, officials said.
Authorities added that the group had tried to burn Hoffman’s body before sending her family a text that she had been dropped off elsewhere.
Police found Hoffman’s body one day after she was reported missing.
Kayden McIntosh, who was 16 at the time, was charged with murder for allegedly shooting Hoffman in the head. His case is pending trial.
Meanwhile, Brehmer was handed the maximum sentence for her role in the killing, according to the Alaska Department of Law.
“She may not have pulled the trigger, but this never would have happened it if it weren’t for Denali Brehmer,” said Patrick McKay, Anchorage assistant district attorney, during sentencing.
“She executed Cynthia Hoffman in a murder-for-hire plot. She conspired with numerous other individuals in and outside of Alaska, including juveniles, forever altering everybody’s life,” he added.
Anchorage Superior Court Judge Andrew Peterson called the killing “tragic and senseless”, adding that Brehmer showed no remorse. He said he hoped her sentence would serve as a deterrent to others.
Darin Schilmiller of New Salisbury, Indiana, was also sentenced last month to 99 years in prison for his role in Hoffman’s murder after being extradited to Alaska.
Caleb Leyland pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in November. He is scheduled for sentencing on 10 June.

Dinner with a view! After a day of hiking, biking, and more hiking to get around I was heating up my late evening meal. Mashed potatoes if I recall correctly, which were actually pretty amazing after all the work. The main hope was that Denali would pop out of the clouds, but instead I turned my head 90 degrees to the left and saw this brief splash of light hitting distant peaks as fog started to move around the valley. Things happen fast out there, but luckily my camera was already set up. I know there's an ektar version of this shot, but who knows when I'll pull it out of the developer!

Video
Itineraries in Exploring Denali National Park & Preserve by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A view looking to the south while walking the Wonder Lake Trail while taking in an amazing setting with Denali and other snowcapped peaks of the Alaska Range. I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation while playing around as I learned how to work with DxO PhotoLab 3 that I’d recently purchased after moving away from Capture NX2.

Eleazar denali(Glory of love)
Chapter 10: sweet dreams and sunny days
Table of contents
A/n: there's a slight smut warning at the beginning of this chapter. And the povs change a couple of times in this chapter.
Tumblr media
“get on the desk.” Eleazar huffed as lifted her up on the desk he uses to grade homework. Their lips locked in a feverish kiss as her butt collided with the wood, the couple ignored the papers and books falling to the floor.
“God, your so beautiful” he said as he stood in between her thighs, she grabed the collar of his shirt pulling him in for a heated kiss.
All he could hear was her racing heart as her slim fingers quickly fell to his belt as he unbuttoned his shirt. He huffed in frustration and his shirt fell to the ground in shreds.
“Eli, I need you” she moaned as his cold hands hiked her skirt up to her waist. He teased her clit with his cock, brushing his tip through her slit. “are you sure Love?” he whispered.
She pulled him closer, desperate for his touch. “please”
He gave her one last kiss before burying himself deep inside of her with a hard thrust, making her cry out his name. Eleazar stared down at her like she was the only woman in the world, and in his eyes she was. He admired every part of her perfect body, the body he was now claiming as his own.
“Eli...” she cried out, the pleasure becoming overwhelming in the best way possible. He didn't still his hips as she grabed a fist full of his hair, pulling it in a way that made him groan against her lips.
“your mine” He whispers to her, licking a slow stripe from the bottom of her neck to the shell of her ear. She huffed and gripped his dark locks as his fangs gently scraped her neck.
“bite me” she moaned. With all logic gone, his teeth sunk into her neck making her moan out from pain a pleasure. Before the blood trickled down her breasts Eleazar licked the bite mark he left. She moaned pulling him for another kiss, his tongue tangled wirh hers making her tast her blood on his tongue.
He rested his forehead on hers, meeting her eyes -Her now gold eyes. He continued to trusted at unhman pace making the wood of his desk crack and split under pressure. She pulled at the roots of his hair making him groan. “y/n...”
“y/n, wake up darling” a soft voice said. I groaned and sunk lower into Eleazar's fluffy blanket, sheilding my eyes from the sunlight. The sun was unusually bright today dispite the blinds in the room being shut.
“five more minutes” I grumbled as reality hit that three minutes ago was only a dream.
I felt the bed dip from behind then soft kisses trailing down from the side of my forehead all the way down from a neck. They were soft an loving, nothing like the ones I received in the dream that left me blushing like crazy. His lips fell to the same spot on my neck from before and I let out a small whimper.
I rolled over to my back and stared up at Eleazar with tired eyes. “What time is it?” I asked taking his right arm where his watch was, 5:30. I gave him a dirty look and rolled over on my stomach.
“I never get up that early on a work day” I mumbled into his pillow. I felt my hair being moved to one side and he kissed my cheep softly. “in my defense you have a longer drive to work today”
“I can't go into work today, so get ready so I can drop you off” he said getting out of bed. I rolled over and watched him walked over to his desk and turn on the lamp. “why aren't you going into work?”
“it's sunny out” he said pointing towards the window. “when it's this bright out we can't go into town” he said.
I sat Indian style in the middle of his bed, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. “I need some clothes though”
“Tayna is a step ahead of you” Eleazar said pointing to the pile of clothes on his trunk. I rolled out of his bed and headed towrds the bathroom with my change of clothes.
It was simple, a pale blue sun dress and a black Jean jacket. It's something I don't usually wear, but I knew it would be worse if Alice picked it out. It was actually cute so I wasn't too mad I was going to school in a dress against my will.
I quickly put my hair up and washed my face before exiting Eleazar's small bathroom. Eleazar was setting at his desk grading papers when I came out. He perked up at the sound of the creaking door.
“you look beautiful” he said as he grabed his car keys off his desk. We walked down stairs and into the living room. The girls and Edward where down there watching Tv. As we entered the room Edward's eyes widened as he looked at me. I immediately turned red and looked away from him when I remember he can read minds.
I quickly said my goodbyes and went to the garage so Eleazar could take me to work.
~~~~~~~~(.......)~~~~~~~~
When study hall came around Bella and her friends filed into my empty classroom to work on homework.
“what did you get on #5?” Angela asked scrubbing on her paper.
“Switzerland” Bella said looking at the window blankly.
Angela slowly looked up from her homework confused. “well that's odd since we're doing math”
I looked up from my desk and looked gave the group of teens a strange look. Bella looked away from the window. “sorry im just a little distracted today”
“yeah, discracted by Edward Cullen” Jessica said a little snapy. I raised an eyebrow at Jessica. Bella quickly shook her head trying not to hypervente.
“they're not here today Bella” I spoke up as graded last week's quize on The bride of Frankenstein.
“where are they?” Bella asked flipping through her notebook. “that's none of your business, Bella” I spoke quitely.
“what they just ditch?” Bella asked ignoring what I said just a minute ago.
“when ever the weather is nice Dr. Cullen and Mr. Denali pull them out of school for hiking and camping” Jessica said.
“I tired that on my parents, not even close” Jessica said closing her text book.
“Mr. Denali is gone too?” Bella asked looking up at me, I ignored her and continued grading. “I haven't had his class yet”
“yeah the sub sucks” Tyler said. “your saying that because your faling Spanish” Jessica added, Tyler just shrugged.
“Wait, aren't you taking Tayna Denali to prom?” Mike asked. Tyler smiled happily. Mike held out his hand for a high-five. “Score man!”
“yeah she's really sweet” Tyler smiled.
“Eric, who are you going with?” Mike asked. Eric smiled brightly and playfully nudged Angela who was hard at work.
“she asked me” he said. It made me smile at how happy he looked.
With jealousy in her eyes Jessica chimed into the conversation. “Angela, we should go shopping in Port Angeles before all the good dresses are cleaned out”
“Port Angeles?” Bella asked as the bell rung. “mind if I tag along?”
“yeah! I need your opinion” Angela smiled as they gathered up their things for lunch. The group of friends waved goodbye as they headed out.
“bye, guys” I smiled.
~~~~~~~~(.......)~~~~~~~~
“can you take me to Port Angeles?” Bella asked. I looked at the clock on the wall and saw it was 3:30.
“right now?” I asked collecting all the papers I need to take home with me. Bella set her bag down and nodded.
“yeah, I said I'd go dress shopping with Angela and Jessica” she said rolling her eyes. I let out a chuckle as I filled up my backpack.
“you hate shopping” I said. Bella knew I was right, she sighed. “yeah, I need a get away driver too”
I snorted at her response, but still happy to be of service. I threw my bag over my shoulder and grabed my phone as it vibrated. “okay, but I need to find a dress too, I won't be too long beacuse I hate shopping as much as you do”
“are you and Mr. Denali chaperoning?” she asked as I closed the door behind us. I nodded but gave her a weird look.
“you can call him Eleazar outside of school, you know?” I said. Bella shrugged and started stuttering. “w-well I'm still getting u-used too the whole my Spanish teacher is dating my older sister”
I let out a laugh as we walked out of the school and into the sun. “point taken”
Bella threw me the keys to her truck and we drove off.
--------(Port Angeles)--------
The girls sorted through different dresses and threw them in different piles. As Angela and Jessica went through them like a couple of tornados, I looked at the more casual ones with darker colors. I finally found one, a plan black dress with lace
The dress fit my body nicely dispite it being a bit longer than it was supposed to be, I learned to deal with that being short and all. Anyway, I stood in the mirror of the dressing room for a bit to make sure it was appropriate to chaperone in, it was and felt good in it. It's been awhile since I really dressed up so it was nice.
I remembered the conversation I had with Eleazar, I told him I had to take Bella dress shopping and I had to fined one too. I quickly took a picture of me in it and sent the picture before going out of the dressing room to show Bella.
“what do you think of this one?” I asked posing in the dress. Bella looked up from her seat next to the window and nodded. “that's nice” she mumbled.
“so since you found a dress can we make up an excuse to leave?” Bella asked as she looked at the dressing room her two friends were in.
I sighed wanting to leave too. Her two friends then came out too, Angela in a purple one and Jessica in a pink one.
“that looks nice” Angela smiled at me. I thanked her and threw her a compliment as well. Jessica rolled her eyes as she adjusted the straps of the dress.
“what do you think?” she asked Bella. She slowly looked up and smiled at Jessica. “that looks good”
Jessica sighed. “your really not into this are you?” my sister shrugged, I knew she wasn't and really wasn't either. I knew it was time to get out of there.
Angela, still in her purple one, spung around checking out how the dress compliment her figure. Her movement came to hult when a group of guys knocked on the window and cat called them.
I frowned as Bella scooted away from the window. “Jack asses” I mumbled.
“creeps” Bella said moving next to me. I shook my head trying to forget it, I turned to Bella. “I'm gonna pay for this, you sure you don't want to get one?”
She nodded. “umm, I wanna go to this book store actually” it wasn't a lie, but it definitely gave us an excuse to leave.
I nodded as Bella turned to her friends. “We're gonna head to a book store down the street, we'll meet up at the restaurant”
They both nodded before going back into the Changing room. We payed for my dress and head towrds the book store. “there's a couple books I want to find too” I said as we walked down the dim street, it was starting to get dark now.
-------(Cullen residents, Eleazar's pov)-------
I loved sunny days. It wasn't by all means quite, but it was nice just to set around with everyone. Even if we were all doing different things it was nice to spend the day with no fights or pretending to be Humans.
I sat on the couch watching Grey's Anatomy with Tayna and Alice, it was their current obsession and it was better than watching Emmett get mad at Grand Theft Auto.
I didn't really understand the fascination the girls had with the show, being around Carlisle for centuries you find out the show was not accurate with somethings and honestly I don't find doctors having sex every five minutes entertainment.
The girls were having a conversation about two characters I knew nothing about, I just knew their names were Derek and Mark. My phone dinged and I started to tune them out when y/n's name popped up.
“had to find a dress, what do you think?” - y/n
Along with the text was picture of her with a black lace dress that fit her perfectly. I smiled to myself not relizing the girls stopped talking to stare at me.
“you look beautiful in it” - Eleazar
I looked up after I sent the text and raised an eyebrow. “What?”
“Nothing” they said at the same time with smiles on their faces. “was that your girlfriend?” Alice teased.
I rolled my eyes playfully. “Yes... It was she had to find a dress to chaperone on for prom”
“can I see” Alice said excitedly she leaned over Tayna, who was setting in between us. The small girl practically lyed on top of Tayna. She laughed as held my phone out away from Alice. “if I show you do you promise not to be the fashion police?” I said in a joking tone.
Alice gasped. “I am not the fashion police” Tayna and I rolled out eyes as I showed Alice the picture.
“that's cute” she said taking my phone. As she grabed it she gasped having a vision. Me and Tayna shared confused looks.
“what did you see?” i asked gently. Alice handed me my phone quickly. “it's Bella and Y/n...their in trouble.”
I sat up quickly and Edward was in the living room in a flash. My chest tightened as I feared the worst. How could this happen, she was only texting me molments ago.
“a couple of drunks are following them... They're on Elm Street in Port Angeles, jest past that old book store you go to all the time” Alice said. Before she could finish and raced to my car and Edward was quick to follow. I almost crashed into the garage door by how fast I wanted to get to Port Angeles.
-------(1st pov)-------
It was about night time when Bella and I left to met up with her friends at the restaurant. It was dark and uneasy and we could feel it. I linked my arm with bella so we could stay close together.
“stay close” I said, looking over and noticing the same guys walking close to us.
“Hey, saw you girls in the dress store” one guy chuckled. I quickly blocked their veiw of Bella. Fear ringed in my head as they cackled and jogged towrds us. Bella gasped as one aporched her, she quickly moved away nodging me towrds them, not relizing what she was doing I just pushed the guy away.
“pretty thing” one said as he touched Bella's hair. I immediately pushed him off of her. “don't touch her”
“Iike the little one... She's got fire in her” another one said. I then swung her fist making the guy fall to the ground. As he did tires screached in the distance and Eleazar's Coupe Deville came flying in.
“get in the car” Edward said as he came flying out of his uncle's car. Eleazar jumped out of the car and sped over to the guy that touched me. He blocked his vew of me and grabed the drunk by the callor of his shirt.
“get in the car y/n” Eleazar growled as he slammed the guy against a brick wall. I grabbed Bella's arm and pulled her to Eleazar's car as Edward scared off the overs.
“if you ever come near her again I will kill you” Eleazar said and slammed the guy to the ground. Edward was about the lung at the others, but Eleazar pushed him the back of his car where bella was. Eleazar drove off in a flash.
“we should go back a rip those guys heads off” Edward grolwed. I looked behind my shoulder and saw Edward gripping the back of Eleazar's seat, Bella sat far away from him looking terrified.
“as mush as I agree we don't need blood shed” Eleazar said angry. He looked just - if not more pissed. He gripped the steering wheel and his jaw was clinched.
“well you don't know the vile and repulsive things those guys were thinking” Edward snapped. Eleazar gave him waring look through the review mirror.
“and you do?” Bella asked confused. Edward hesitated. “don't you tell me what do or don't know kid!” Eleazar butted in, only getting angryer.
“Ese bastardo le puso las manos encima a mi chica! (that bastard put his hands on my girl)” my knowledge in Spanish couldn't translate what he was saying. I just knew he was seething. I placed my hand on his knee and squeezed it to show him some comfort. “We're alright now” I whispered.
Eleazar took a deep breath and took one of his hands off the wheel to hold my hand. Eleazar started to calm down and so did his driving. After a couple of minutes he pulled up to the restaurant we were supposed to be at.
Bella hopped out of the car as soon as it stopped and she walked towrds the restaurant with Edward on her tail. Eleazar helped me out of the car then pulled me into a tight hug. “are you sure your okay?”
“I am now” I mumbled into his chest. He smiled softly and took me where bella and Edward were. They were talking to Jessica and Angela as we walked up. The two girls stared at our linked hands in shock.
Before the could make any accusation Edward chimed in. “we should make sure the girls get something to eat then we'll take them home”
The girls smiled at him and Eleazar. “that's so sweet” Angela said. The girls giggled as the walked away.
“I told you they were together”
“can teachers even date?”
I heared them whispering as they walked off. Eleazar just shook his head as the four of us went into the restaurant. We sat down at a table that was towrds the middle, the place was nice dim room with fairy lights. Me and Bella ordered our food and the boys just got water so they didn't look too suspicious.
“all right mushroom ravioli and a chicken Alfredo” the waiter said bring our food. The waiter was young, maybe closer to Eleazar's 'age'. That didn't mater, what mattered was she wouldn't stop drooling over them. Eleazar nor Edward looked at her though.
“so are you sure there isn't anything I can get for you?” she flurted with Eleazar.
“no, no thank you” he said then made a point to lace his fingers with mine infront of her. She then turned to Edward. “how about you honey”
“waters good, we're fine” he nodded looking at Bella. The waiter sighed and walked off as I rolled my eyes.
“you guys aren't gonna eat?” Bella asked confused.
“no, I'm on a special diet” Edward lied, Eleazar rolled his eyes at the terrible lie.
“and I lost my appetite” Eleazar said referencing the tonights events spoiled his appitite for food, Bella got passed that lie.
“you need to give us some answers” Bella said to Edward then turned to Eleazar. “both of you maybe”
“si, no, Tal vez(yes, no, maybe)” Eleazar said sarcastically.
“to get to the other side, 1.77245” Edward add.
“we know what the square root of pi is” Bella said getting annoyed. I chuckled and twisted my fork in my pasta.
“you guys knew that?” Edward asked, Eleazar raised his eye brow at his nephew.
“I went to college for four years dummy” I said popping a piece of garlic bread in my mouth.
“how did you guys know where we were?” Bella asked, I could tell she was starting to get annoyed. I could tell Eleazar was too, annoyed with Edward and possibly afraid Edward would reveal something. Eleazar started to fidel with things on the table, he can't stay still when he's nervous.
“we didn't” Edward said simply.
Bella rolled her eyes. She stood up and looked at me “I'm leaving, see you at home”
“Wait, don't go” Edward pleaded. He then turned to Eleazar asking for help.
He sighed and looked at Bella. “I had a clue, y/n told me what you guys were doing today. She didn't awnser her phone and I got worried” Eleazar explained. “I voiced my concerns to Edward and he panicked.”
Edward growled “and then I heard what thoses low-lives were thinking” I cut Edward off by kicking his ankle under the table.
“did you kick me?” he asked Eleazar.
I took a sip of my tea then set the cup down. “no, I did”
Bella shook her head confused, she sat down staring at Edward. “Wait, you said you heard what they were thinking?”
“so you guys read minds?” she asked looking between Eleazar and Edward.
“just him” Eleazar said pointing to the younger vampire.
“I can read every mind in this room... Aprt from yours, every once and a while I can read y/n's” Edward explained. He looked around at a couple of people and read their minds. “there's money, sex, money, sex... Cat” he turned to me and concentrated for a bit. “Eleazar”
“is there's anything wrong with me?” Bella asked. Edward chuckled at her concerns.
I chuckled. “most definitely”
Bella rolled her eyes then turned to Eleazar. “do you have a super power or something” Eleazar dropped his hand under the table and placed it on my thigh. “I don't” he lied.
Then Edward let this bomb shell drop. “I don't have the strength to stay away from you anymore” I cleared my throat as I set my fork down on my empty plate.
“okay, I think we're done here” I said standing up. Eleazar nodded agreeing “let's give them some privacy” he stood up and set a few dollar bills on the table.
“here Eduardo” I said tossing him the truck keys. Eleazar lead me away from the table, I quickly turned around and shot off an inappropriate joke. “wear a cond-” Eleazar quickly covered my mouth before I could finish and we walked out of the restaurant.
~~~~~~~~(.......)~~~~~~~~
“will you stay with me tonight?” I asked getting out of the car. “my dad is working late tonight and I really don't want to be alone”
He placed his hand and cheek and smiled softly. “of course” he kissed my lips softly and we walked into the house. A smile immediately appeared on my face as Duke greeted us. I knelt down and petted his head.
“Hey, boy” he showed me his happy puppy face as Eleazar knelt down next to me. “you two haven't formly met, Eli this is Duke”
Duke sat still and held his paw out to shake. Eleazar chuckled and shook his paw. “nice to meet you”
Duke let out a soft woof then set off for my room. We followed the black dog up to my room and for some reason I got nervous. I've seen and slept in Eleazar's room so I don't know what the big deal was that the situation was now reversed.
“so here's my room” I awkwardly chuckled. He stepped in quitely and observed everything. My shelves full of books, my horror movie posters, funko pops, everything.
Why he looked around I grabed a t-shirt and some shorts. “I'm gonna change real quick, make yourself at home” I said leaving from the bathroom. I quickly got comfortable and went back to my room, Eleazar had shedded his button up leaving him in just a white t-shirt and his jeans.
“you tired?” he asked softly, I nodded running my fingers threw my curls. I crawled into bed with Eleazar following, I cuddled into his arms and Duke quickly hoped on the bed and made himself comfortable at our feet. I could lay here forever if I could.

I have a confession. Actually, my confession is the whole substance of this post, but it's an embarrassing thing nonetheless. You know when someone excitedly exclaims to you some exciting new piece of knowledge that you've actually known for a long time, and that most people think of as common knowledge? I'm about to be that guy. But, weirdly, I don't think it's common knowledge. Yo, the hiking in the Deltas is really, really good. Mountain running, too, I expect, though I mostly walked.  The “Deltas” Is the local name for the east end of the Alaska Range; I'd climbed all over the Deltas during undergrad, and did a lot of general mountaineering of the bigger (“bigger,” but still not big) peaks in the area. I actually look back on those days and am pretty impressed with how motivated I was. And in recent years I've begun to realize that the back country skiing in the Deltas is actually really good as well, but it's i an April/May season. But I've spent hardly any time there in the summer.  But HFG and I were on our way to Dr. Matt and Julia's wedding off the Denali Highway, and on the way we stayed a night at Jill and Hot Mat's cabin. And we went for a hike. The hike pictured here. It was fantastic (and also a suggestion from Ed, same as the earlier post about Thief Creek was). We hiked the ridge between the Canwell and Fels Glaciers, so it's easy to find. There is a bit of a nasty bushwhack to get onto the ridge, but once you're on the ridge you're home free, and it's heaven. The ridge is long and never steep. I can't find my GPS track from the day, but I think it was less than 20 miles round trip. Maybe a lot less. I don't remember.  And luckily, there is a logical stopping point - a ridge top lake. It has a huge snowdrift melting into it all summer, and you need to wait for later in the summer for the lake to be opened up. I HATE swimming in cold water, but every once in a while I see something compelling, like the opportunity to jump off a huge snowdrift into a mountain lake on a beautiful day. So even I did it. But I've included a picture of HFG as clickbait.

Do you have any rosenali HC’s?? I’ll take any au !!
Hm, why not a classic Highschool AU for this one!
They are that one Lesbian couple that is so hopelessly in love, everyone can see it.
Rosé holds Denali’s hand wherever they go, down the hall, during lunch, on the way to the car… whenever she can, she will be physically attached to her girlfriend somehow.
At parties, her hand is basically glued to the small of Denali‘s back, and her other hand has a drink that they usually both sip from throughout the night.
Denali is pretty short throughout most of Highschool, creating a height difference that Rosé loves to take advantage of. There’s just something about caging Denali in against the lockers or leaning down to kiss her that makes her stomach do backflips. And judging by the way Denali will get on her tiptoes to reciprocate, she thinks the same.
Denali is very physically active, a part of the cheerleading team as well as multiple sports clubs outside of school. She constantly wins awards or medals for the school and is pretty well known and admired in the student body. Rosé of course rules the drama club, always snatching exactly the role she wants and doesn’t shy away from musicals and live singing either.
They are always in the first row whenever the other is doing something. Denali brings flowers to give her girlfriend after every performance and Rosé will travel to other towns on weekends with her to watch Denali compete in taekwondo competitions. She even has a reserved seat for her schools football game just to watch Denali cheer before the game.
They have a secret spot behind the gym where they will sneak away to make out throughout the day. Rosé especially likes to take Denali there after her cheer practice, still in her short skirt and sports bra.
Denali is a very good straight A student. Always hands essays in on time, listens attentively in class and takes notes on everything, never skips school.
Rosé is very clever too, but lacks the discipline to sit through a class she’s not interested in. If she doesn’t care, she won’t attend. Why sit in a classroom when she could be driving her girlfriend to the lookout on the hill.
Denali doesn’t like the idea at first but she can’t help her curiosity and go with her one time.
Rosé drives her to the lookout, a beautiful spot on a hill from where you can see the entire town. They smoke a blunt and end up making out again, Denali’s back against the grassy earth, one of Rosé‘s knee hiked up between her legs as her skirt slips further and further upwards.
On days where they barely see each other, Rosé likes to leave notes in Denali‘s locker. Some are jokes, some are sweet, some simply say „I love you“
Denali loves to braid Rosé‘s fluffy hair, especially when they’re quietly sitting in the library, leaning into each other as Rosé pretends to focus on her homework.
Denali helps Rosé improve her Spanish (not without making fun of her lousy accent though) and ends up making her top of her class, surprising not just Rosé but also her teacher.
Rosé in return pulls Denali away from her studies every now and then, making sure she also spends time relaxing (something Rosé is always happy to assist with)
Not matter how much Mik and Kandy tease them for being That Obnoxious Couple™️, they are just a great match and everyone can see how happy and in love they are.

Rosé stood under the warm spray, letting the water cascade over him and soothe his aching muscles. He closed his eyes, feeling relaxed for the first time that day.
He let his thoughts about the day run wild, losing himself in the feeling of the warm water, only opening them when he felt another body pressed against his, arms migrating around his shoulders.
“Why didn’t you invite me in, hmm?” Denali asked, tracing a heart on Rosé’s shoulder.
Chuckling, Rosé placed his hands on Denali’s hips, squeezing lightly. “You were asleep.”
“Was faking,” he mumbled, standing on his toes to press his lips to Rosé’s, moaning when he slipped his tongue into his mouth. “Wanted you to wake me up with a little fun.”
“Oh I forgot I’m a mind reader,” Rosé chuckled.
Denali pouted. “My new panties weren’t enough? I thought you’d see them and wanna play.”
“Well, I did see them but you looked so content while you were asleep. I didn’t wanna bother you, I was just planning on using the image to my advantage but now that you’re here,” he trailed off, sliding his hands lower and squeezing the plump of Denali’s ass.
“Please, daddy,” he whimpered, “use me.”
Without another beat, Rosé turned Denali around, pressing himself against his backside and leaning down to whisper in his ear. “Yeah, you’re gonna let daddy use you? And you’re gonna behave?”
Denali nodded, squirming slightly and whining when Rosé landed a sharp warning smack to his ass.
“Well behaved boys stay still and don’t squirm.”
“I know, daddy,” Denali replied with a huff.
Rosé hummed, sliding a hand to Denali’s hole, finding it already slick. “Look at you, baby doll, already ready for me. Do you need any more prep?”
“No,” he shook his head, doing his best to stay still as Rosé entered him, groaning gutturally in his ear.
“Feel so good, baby, so tight and so pretty,” he rasped, hitching Denali’s leg up for a better angle, one that made the younger throw his head back in ecstasy and moan.
If Rosé hadn’t been holding him up, one hand on his hip, the other held securely around his throat, Denali felt like he’d melt into a puddle, his stomach flipping with delight at every movement Rosé made, every filthy little word he whispered in his ear.
“Tell daddy who you belong to, baby.”
“I’m yours, daddy, all yours,” he all but screamed as Rosé picked up the pace, every inch of Denali’s skin tingling.
“That’s right, you’re mine,” Rosé growled, “are you gonna cum for daddy?”
“So close, daddy, please-“
“Go ahead, baby, cum for me, tell me again who you belong to while you do it.”
Rosé kept up his pace, reveling in the way Denali cried out in pleasure and shuddered beneath him. “Cum for daddy, sweetheart.”
“I’m yours!” Denali yelled as he came, shaking as his orgasm tore through him, Rosé following shortly.
They rode out the aftershocks together, Denali gently pushing back onto Rosé until he pulled out, turning Denali around and letting him collapse against his chest.
“How was that for you, baby?” He said, lips pressed against Denali’s forehead, “it was good for me. Perfect stress reliever.”
Denali hummed sleepily. “I feel good, I love you, daddy.”
Rosé smiled tenderly and kissed his forehead. “I love you too, pumpkin. Come on, let daddy wash you up so we can get to bed, yeah.”
