Because I Love You

Walk | Talk | Think



Tahlia watched her mate with worry and concern, both for him and for herself. Would their line of children end with Kailos and Lior? Four children - five children including her adopted son from Bane's previous litter - was a large family, but to be able to add another one or two to the list would have pleased her immensely. She was sure Bane knew it too, which made her belatedly worry how this might be weighing on him. No wonder he looked so dejected already, so resigned and convinced things would not work. He did not want to disappoint her.



He went on to explain as much as it finally settled within her mind, an understanding of his view of things. And though selfish by nature Tahlia could not feel anger or irritation at the news. Instead, she only felt a calming sense of acceptance and a quiet hope. "I still have every faith in you, just as before," she whispered to him as he leaned in close, the rest of her words dying upon her tongue as he kissed her with an intimate growl. An excited shiver traveled down her spine, followed closely by a trailing of Bane's affections. With easy, practiced motions, he took her hips and neck, and obediently she took the position he suggested to try for another litter.

She might have been able to tell this time around that her husband was indeed aging, but their time together had been no less enjoyable. Patience and understanding had won out for the both of them in the end, resulting in an ease upon her condition and satisfaction for the both of them. Her breathing was unsteady as she felt him slip from atop her and pass along her side to kiss her still functioning eye. The russet and black wolf smiled, feeling considerably more content than she had when she had called to him. Now if only she could know for certain that she carried more pups, new additions to join their family, she would have been even more thrilled. "You give yourself far less credit than you should," Tahlia teased him, nuzzling against his cheek with an affectionate kiss.
