Stirring the Embers of Desire

Bane stopped kneading his mates neck fur with his fangs and took to licking the damp fur of Tahlia's bloodied scruff instead. He dug his chin back and forth along the base of her neck, so warm... so soft, the male had nearly forgotten what it was like to be intimate with another. Bane pulled his mate closer with his left forepaw partially around her back into the curvature of his body and firmly held her against him, both wolves all exposed on the river bank, not caring if another had seen them during their romping; and even if they had, something special would have been witnessed. Love. True and undying between two lifelong mates. Tahlia's sides expanded slowly and retracted, the male's draped foreleg following each of her breaths up and down, his muzzle even less so. His mate suddenly stirred and a rumble left him as she rolled over to face him, Bane squirmed backwards to let their muzzles touch comfortably together as he reached a paw over to stroke her throat and chest.

Pale furred paws pinched Tahlia's tucked paws and brought them back to his chest. He dipped his head and began to lick the top of them with his remaining eye closed and a growl rumbling in his throat. A pause, Bane's milky sapphire eye flicking upward to stare into the two golden ones of Tahlia. A growl of arousal and lust rumbled up from deep within the elders chest as his mate placing her muzzle against his neck and almost hit his chin when she came back up to rub his cheek with hers. Bane didn't even bother saying anything for a moment and let the peaceful silence be interrupted. "I love you too my dear." He growled in response to her love statement. Gods he wanted to take her again and she definitely wasn't making it easy.

And when she placed her head underneath his chin his whole body curled up all the tighter against his mate because of that gesture. As he draped a paw over her side again and pulled her close so that their chests and stomach fur were both touching, the elder wolf hoping, for a moment, that pups would come from their two sessions of mating. It was a long shot though with his age, Bane was probably straying into wishful thinking. He'd ask his mate to lay herself for him one more time before she left. But not now. He would leave her be. Bane opened his muzzle and murmured into an ear. "When will I be able to see you again?"
