Imperial Duties

She had all of his attention as her convincing words slipped from pale lips. Venom gazed into his aquatic gaze, losing herself even as she spoke the truth she saw unfolding before her. As certain as she was she couldn’t live without him, she knew she wanted to experience all facets of life with him. Especially raising a family together. Partially in selfish desire, she wanted a second chance after the first one was taken from her. The Empress needed this for her heart and soul, both were the driving factor of her decision, but further this decision was for the pack. Venom had her duties to pack and family to bring new life into Ashen. She could have chosen any man, but she wanted Maverick. She wanted him as their sire but even more she wanted him to be their father. Not just a donor.

Any puppies she had were already worth so much more than physical attributes. If they would be blessed then they would be blessed, Venom had no doubt whoever sired them that would be the case. Her first litter was incredibly gifted, but they were also going to have scars left by Hattori’s actions. Her priority was the strongest foundation a puppy could have, two involved parents whose soul desire was raising them well. That was what she most wanted from her dear Maverick.

Surprise fluttered over his features as he stared in disbelief before she stole away his words and leaned in to claim his lips in a real kiss. After all, she couldn’t suggest they have puppies and not indulge in trying to make them. Venom wasn’t in season, but she hadn’t been with her first litter anyway. Since being with Mav she had been using contraceptives just in case, but now that she had this there would be much less use of them. Wrapping her head around how far their relationship had come was mind boggling in itself. The Empress couldn’t have predicted a lawless ruffian like Mav could steal her heart and agree to be the father of her children.

Maverick returned her affection, the both of them leaning in deep to the affection and desire of each other. Their relationship was still new and shiny, but even as it began to age the patina of time would only make everything more beautiful. Maverick wouldn’t let her believe anything else. She mirrored his smile as they both pulled back reluctantly, but she loved the words he said as much as the kisses they shared. He promised her his devotion, and ever the lecherous man mentioned his good looks and talents he displayed here in the bedroom.

She grinned at him, knowing she was taking him for everything and those talents were part of the reason she was so attracted to him, because he was so unabashedly attracted to her. He promised her his best as well, she convinced him of his worth, and even if he might never be ready he was absolutely willing. That was all Venom needed to hear. "I know you will.” She assured him again as his darker paw trailed along her body to wrap around her rump possessively. Venom giggled along with him, feeling light and free hearing the determination, love, and affection in his voice as much as the suggestive gleam in his eye.

She grinned up at him as he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her closer. Asking what her plans might be. He was brash in his words but they sent a thrill through her whole body. "Is it?” She teased him back simply as his words played amusedly as he squeezed her rump. "I wouldn’t want anything else.” They would enjoy their day to day carnal pleasures, but there would be a deeper meaning and purpose to their actions. Something she truly hadn’t experienced with any other. She wanted to entwine their lives completely, and this was the best first step for their new life. One they both had great desire for.
