Stirring the Embers of Desire

He did not slow, at least not noticeably enough from his reckless speed, and for a moment she did give thought to the fact he could very well bowl right into her and send them both tumbling and sprawling into the vegetation outside of the den. What a reunion that would be, with either one or both of them hurt before they could even enjoy their moment of uninterrupted peace. But though Bane was older he was not addled and he eventually slowed more, enough for her to get a decent look at him. Was it just her or was his coat fading lighter? Time was certainly beginning to have its effect on his appearance but he seemed no less excited to see her. Were those tears on his face?

Her own eyes beginning to water, expression brightening into an unrestrained smile, she was pounced upon and knocked over, tumbling to her back unexpectedly enough to surprise her into breathless laughter. Instantly she was showered in kisses and nuzzles while the weight of her husband sprawled over her, a comfortable weight that she missed being able to curl up against. Smiling, Tahlia returned each kiss he gave, tasting the tears upon his cheeks and feeling her own threaten to spill. Such affection and love. Her forepaws lifted up to wrap around him, hugging him close as she licked and nuzzled his face. It was going to be so difficult to walk away from him this time.

His thoughts, at least the ones he spoke aloud, seemed to reflect well her own sentiments, and with a startled laugh, she whispered back, "You have no idea how many times I have considered it. How often I have wanted to run away to you, the pack be damned." If not for their children, she was certain she would have left, especially now. The pack was changing, under new leadership and under new order. Her place there was not fixed, her friends few, and she still felt as if the actions of herself and Bane were hanging over their children, influencing the opinions of others. But pack life was easier, safer, and better all around than life as loners would have been. She only hoped Anais, Jakart, and Nako were fitting in well and felt none of the worries that she harbored for them.

A few lingering, soft licks were placed against Bane's cheeks as he released her ear and went again to her throat, feeling the rumble of his growl against her skin and shivering lightly beneath him. She could feel it, the sudden shift toward desire in her husband that was slowly drawing her along, kindling those same fires in her. Listening to his request, Tahlia reached up to place a few more kisses against his cheek and nipped softly upon his chin. "For as long as I can," she promised, paws reaching up to hold more tightly to him. Too soon she knew she would need to return to Seracia and their children, but for now it was just her and Bane and she planned to make the most of it.
