Walk | Talk | Think She made him laugh, the sound happiness to her ears. Her own smile about her face lessened its nervousness and grew in amusement that she had managed to bring about a chuckle. She was lucky he enjoyed her humor, was truly glad that he did. She knew she had complications dealing with serious situations, turning to humor when things became too tense, and goodness if this was not one of those moments. Ashtoreth was conflicted. On one hand, she was nervous about potentially being a mother, of pups she would carry and then birth and then raise within her shared den with Leon. But on the other hand, she was beginning to doubt her ability to resist. Even just cuddled up against him like this was building her desire for him, aided by the fact her season had rolled around and was causing her to react even more strongly to his simplest of touches. Which in turn were making the excuses and counters to her worrisome thoughts sound so very rational and comforting. Her two-toned eyes closed as he roughly returned her nuzzle, breath hitching at the desperation of it. Apparently she was not the only one feeling this way. He drew closer, causing her to squirm to do the same, before he kissed her muzzle with such a gentleness it was almost teasing. Ears twitched and then stilled as he spoke to her and her heart leaped and raced faster when he said her name. Ashtoreth Adravendi. That certainly had a lovely ring to it. She liked even more that it made it plain and clear that she was his and no others. A tiny shiver raced down her spine as she smiled, still listening as she indulged in the feel of him so close. Yep, she was really having a hard time saying no. But did she want to anymore? They were mates after all, entitled to this sort of joy even if she was worried about the repercussions. Pups. But Leon would be there. She had even told him once before that he was going to be great at fatherhood. And if there was anyone she trusted to raise kids right, to play a very active role in their lives and make them love him as much as she did, it was him. "Neither can I," she answered in a whisper, surprising herself to find that it was true. She stared back into his eyes, feeling the intensity behind his stare bore into her and ask the unsaid question that was upon both of their minds. "I'm ready to find out. When you are." Her words were indirect but she was sure Leon would understand. It was as close as she was going to get to saying yes to everything that being mates entailed. Her worries still lingered but she forced them aside and instead focused upon Leon, taking comfort from him and all the happiness that he represented in her life, past, present, and future. |
