Dark brown eyes watched her closely as a number of different emotions seemed to overtake her features. Everything from uncertainty to shame. Even a subtle resolution and possible hopefulness flickered over her face. The stallion’s stomach turned and his heart beat hard watching the beauty of emotions he could read from her, even as his concern for the reasons behind them grew. He waited patiently for her to answer him, merely enjoying being here and having her finally home with him. When she did finally admit to the reason behind her foolishness the stallion was so taken aback his stunned stare might have been visible even to her eyes. Of course he knew how children came to life. His son was currently roaming around the mountains with a mare he had a similar rendezvous. The woman had been fleeting, choosing to stay separate from the herd. He had respected her wishes, still protective and checking in on her and Samhain as much as she would allow. If his heart had been pounding before it was nothing compared to now. Silence drew out between them until at last he let out a breath he could not hold any longer. “Child?” The joy and desire rang true in his deep voice. Beside her his body quivered though he could feel only heat. His smile broke over his face, a face he nuzzled into her neck and mane. Breathing deep, he enveloped himself in her scent, letting the thrill wash over him. “It will have many eyes watching over it.” A happy chuckle rumbled through him and he lipped gently at her skin. “You will bring them to life. Harm will not come to them while you and I both are here.” His voice assured her.
