Putting in effort

Dalila found herself smiling a little as she worked her paws over Chimera's shoulders, watching how he reacted to the massage and enjoying how much he seemed to enjoy it. She had always gotten the most joy from caring for others and doing things for them. Maybe that was one of the reasons she had gravitated so easily to Siren who she could dote on and care for day in and day out. It was an easy existence with Siren in that way and for the longest time she hadn't really understood or felt like she could do anything close to that with Chimera. Now she was beginning to understand that it really wasn't as difficult or complicated as it had originally felt. There was no denying the hatred and hurt he had showed her once upon a time, but they had both grown and changed in the time since he and Siren had purchased her from the slavers and perhaps there was room for forgiveness and acceptance on her part.

After a while she felt him move and she went to pull her paws away and was surprised when he caught one of her ivory dipped paws and placed a kiss on it. She blinked with surprise, her pale gaze catching his with a bit of a flush to her face as he caught her off guard with what felt like an uncharacteristic sweetness. A shy smile pulled at her lips and her ears flicked back bashfully at the affection. What was even more unexpected, maybe even shocking, was when he eased her down onto her stomach, having her lay down on the soft, warm sand. His massive paws were surprisingly gentle and tender as he started to return the favor of massaging her sore body that was exhausted from the strain that carrying these pups had put on her. It was a gentle touch that she never in all of her days would have expected from Chimera, but she couldn't deny how good it felt.

She gave a pleased hum, her eyes sliding closed as she relaxed under his touch, for once feeling completely at ease with him as he worked his way through her tired muscles. Her face flushed a bit again as he reached her hips, but she reminded herself that he knew every inch of her by now and being embarrassed by such a thing was ridiculous. The pups she was carrying were proof enough of that. She blinked open her eyes as his paw brushed over her belly, making one of the pups squirm and kick against where his paw touched and making her smirk in turn. When he leaned down over her to nuzzle her cheek she felt her heart give a little skip at the touch, but she still leaned into the touch all the same. With Siren she was far more likely to give affection than to crave receiving it from the smaller woman, but it felt different coming from Chimera. Maybe there was something about the fact that it was so rare that it felt like it should be savored that made it different, but it was hard to sort out her thoughts right now.

"I am too," she replied genuinely, tipping her head to look up at him with a gentle smile. The most rambunctious of their children moved and squirmed yet again, making her wince slightly with a chuckle as they kicked against a rib. "One of them is very active today," she told him, her tail wagging gently behind her. Turning and rolling a bit so she was slightly on her side and more of her stomach was exposed, she reached for his paw that had been on her side before and gently press it to her stomach. "Can you feel them?" she asked, lifting her gaze to look at his face happily. She had never imagined herself as a mother, but now that she was at the cusp of becoming just that she was actually getting more and more excited to meet the little wolves they had made.
