Kieron didn’t know how to respond to the fact he had apparently shocked Vi with his proposal for lead position. But she seemed to warm up to the idea pretty quick at his soft caress and he smiled inwardly pleased she had accepted. He knew she would surpass his expectations, and so his worries were few. But then she pulled away, and he might have expected why. At her question of only being able to provide daughters and not sons to continue his legacy, he sighed. She had pulled herself back, and become withdrawn, reserved at the thought.
He remained quiet. He knew her thoughts were running about a mile a minute, and he dared not interrupt them. Instead, he waited patiently for her speech and her lyrics that melted upon reaching your ear lobes. As she turned away, he felt the need to step closer, and gave her all the warmth from his body that he could, and tried to cloak her in it. He wanted her to be able to bask in his protection, to feel she could trust him. That he would not turn her away, but lovingly embrace with everything he had to give. She was his now and damn it if he didn’t show her she meant the world and beyond to him.
"Vi, as long as the daughters you bare are healthy, and don’t batt their pretty little eyes at me, then I am not concerned."
The middle part he tried to make light hearted, teasing her just to lighten the mood. With a very light and gentle nudge, he tried to draw her attention back to looking at him, so that he could reassure her, everything would be okay. He already knew she was going to make an excellent mother and mate. Standing beside him, supporting him. And of course, keeping him in line as well. He just secretly hoped his inner demon never presented itself again, so long as he lived. He wished nothing of the sort to be manifested so as none of his mares would see the unpleasant capabilities he withheld, deep inside, and locked away.
