She growled again, a protective momma-bear sound as he pushed her pregnancy buttons. She was already feeling pent up after the scratch to her belly, to the unknown future of these littles ones. Her blood was running a little higher after the fight, and her emotions where messed up from the hormones. Did he really have to push her buttons when she was this close to the edge?

Her emotions where spiking, and as she looked into his eyes, declaring her own challenge, her need for him in this as an equal, she felt the sudden, rushing need to kiss him. Her eyes were wide, her lips slightly parted, and she could taste his breath on the air.
