Kiss of an Empress

A short sharp hurt stabbed at her heart at his response and she barked a pained laugh in return. He had not given her the reply she expected, but somehow this one was so much worse. Was he that excited imagining the two women he loved battling for his paw? Was he considering at all what would happen if she lost? Or had he considered it, but decided that he could live with the outcome? For as long as she knew him Zee had been unable to dodge his protective fury whereever his wife was concerned - where was that untamable passion now when there was potential to lose her? Or did it simply not occur to him that she may not win. Zee exhaled a long sigh, her breath shaking. The bridge beneath her paws shook as the titans weight lowered onto it, though she barely offered him a glance. More questions swam in her head but she shoved them down. Wondering about what-if's was only going to risk changing her mind, and she couldn't do that now.

"Tomorrow then." Barely any time at all, though still too long to bear. Would this be her last night wrapped in her titans powerful arms? She expected she would even miss his ridiculous, silly charms. A sad smile tugged at Zee's lips as she thought upon their history together and all the times he had made her want to skewer him with her horns.

With a heavy sigh she turned back towards him, striding purposefully to where he lay prone before her and aiming to close her jaws tightly around his scruff. While intended to be - in their own weird way as usual - affectionate, she found she wanted to bite a hell of a lot harder then was safe to. The heat of anger remained even as she longed for his intimate touch.
