all i need

The russet man would shift like a ghost through the cool terrain, his bodice longing for the warmth of a single maiden. For her he thirsted, for her he longed. Two seasons it had been, though it felt like a lifetime. He knew it was risky, he knew that there was the chance of more children - but how terrible would that be? As a King and Queen they had wolf after wolf wiling to look after their kids, and Epiphron was a wonderful mother. Surely another child - or three as it had been last time - would not be so much of a plague. And yet he knew it would be. Already the four they had were a pawful, he could hardly imagine Epiphron being able to handle three - or perhaps even four or five - more.

Nostrils tensed and flickered, her scent wafting toward him on the wind. Oh she was tantalizingly close. A smile creased his features - one not unlike the one he'd worn two seasons ago. They had discussed this earlier, and he knew she was as willing as he. It was time to throw caution to the wind and enjoy his wife once more. Silently he would arrive, stopping several yards away in the comfort of the trees long enough to admire her - to take her in. She was.. enrapturing to his soul.

"My love," he would voice, his lips yearning for her warmth. Slowly, regally he would move toward her like a shadow - appearing to glide rather than pace. The tension was palpable in the air and he knew she wanted it just as badly as he did. Oh, what a night!
