it will be either his brains or his signature on the contract ;;; I watched the girl beside me as a range of emotion passed through my mind. I was elated, nervous and proud all at once. Elated that this gorgeous sweet girl had chosen me. She had her choice between two stallions who had approached her, and she has chosen to follow me home. I was nervous, for even though she chose me, she could always have thoughts about the life she passed over. What if she came to be unhappy with me, would she regret that choice? Pride also coursed through me, stronger than the rest. This girl was a rare gem, and I had her to my name. She was a mafioso mare, and for that I was certainly proud. I lowered my muzzle to the girl as she responded with a smile and her kind words, her voice floating as light as bubbles upon the wind. "Please don't ever hesitate to come to me should you need anything. I want all my girls to be happy. I want them all to feel fulfilled." Family is of the upmost importance to me, and a family is as weak as the bonds between it's members. I wanted my family strong, and for that I had to make sure my girls had everything they could desire. I again swelled with pride as Ava complimented my territory, I was glad she liked it. Not everyone took to the icy ground and frigid air, and it would have upset me greatly to lose her over something like the climate of my home. I arched my neck as the girl brushed against me, posturing for her in an attempt to impress. We wandered the territory slowly, and I watched with delight as the colored femme took in every detail. I studied her as we went, searching for anything that might reveal how she was feeling. I was glad she had met my other girls. I wanted them to feel comfortable together, again that family bond that I feel so important. However, I knew that often there was strife between mares of a herd, especially between those of very high and very low rank. I hoped none of my girls would behave in such a petty way, but you never really knew how they would react to one another. It made me happy that Ava found the other girls to be nice, though I suspected at least one of them may have been putting on an act. She stepped up to me, rubbing her muzzle over my chest and I shifted my weight and sidestepped slightly while lowering my neck, so that it was draped over hers. "You may always count on me to protect you my dear. Remember that if any so much as try and touch you I will take from them everything they hold dear." As loving as I was with my girls I acted swiftly and with rage when responding to trouble given to me by other stallions. I could be ruthless and daunting, but it paid off when they never bothered my girls after I had my revenge. "Of course love, let me show you around." I stepped into a walk and began to make my way down the path to the bottom of the ice shelf. "Tell me of your life before you came to be mine." I asked the girl, curious about what brought her to me. mafioso {XY|17 hh|6 years|shire cross|black sabino} {played by babs|html by joey} |
