i seek to cure what's deep inside

Since their blissful and bumbling adventure the new couple had come back to their daily lives busier then ever. Hannibal had been attending warrior training, trying to reconnect with his offspring, and tending to many other pack duties. They had been able to see one another here and there but Belle had spent a few weeks in the Armada due to the new Fatalis litter. He did not blame her for wanting to help for the Empress had always taken to pups. Each bone in her body was motherly which was something he truly admired about his lover.

After a routine patrol and some needed daily exercise the beast found himself slithering towards the palace. As he grew closer her inhaled the alluring scent of his Empress. A heat moved through his chest as he thought back to their vacation. But, he shedded the primal lust as he found the entrance to the den. Lavender swarmed his pink hued form as he crossed the warm threshold into the palace. Pale and distinctly hungry eyes fell upon the intoxicating sight of his other half. Laying upon luxurious furs as if a Sphynx guarding a tomb the Empress successfully stole his heavy heart once again. Hannibal had to take a single moment to control his thoughts and his breathing before stepping closer.

Hannibal allowed that slippery smirk of his appear without a second thought. He stopped as he was about a tail length away from the illustrious Queen. Eyes ravaging his shamelessly but he seemingly contained his desires as much as possible. "I cannot go on with this distance between us." He spoke of her time in the Armada and perhaps even having separate dens. Hannibal would love nothing more then to hold her each night he could. Hannibal then moved to close the electric distance between them by lowering that slim head down to plant warm kiss on the top of her head. In that moment he drank in her scent before slithering to pace around her tempting form. Hannibal would aim to pepper playful nips at her spine and rump as he slowly passed by. "Allow me to share your den." He slowly moved to face her again. "In return I shall shower you in luxurious, my Queen." Hannibal then moved to kiss at one of her front paws with a dashing smile slipped across his pink lips.
