Melisma drank in his musky scent as her velvet nose brushed along his flesh. It comforted her, to be able to reach out to someone for the first time in her life. As she watched his face with her brilliant green eyes, she took note of the handsome lines along his face. Although she had known he was handsome, it had not made her heart swell and thump so oddly in her chest before. His words made the already strange feeling organ sputter in surprise as heat flushed across her cheeks. Melisma couldn’t help but smile.
“As you wish.” she murmured, her voice taking on a silken tone. Her attention refocused on his body, and where her nose was tucked beneath his thick mane. She trailed it down his strong shoulder, then along the barrel of his torso to his flank. She teasingly lipped there upon the sensitive flesh, a smirk tugging at her lips before she raised her head to brush her lips over his hips as she moved around him to come up along the other side. She repeated the teasing touches until she stood shoulder to shoulder with her stallion. Only then did she tuck her head under his, her side pressing against Cain’s.
“I miss Akello.” Melisma confessed, her heart hammering even faster. A knot of nerves clenched in the bottom of her belly, but she refused to let them win. “I’m ready to have my first child when the season comes. I want it with you.” Melisma had never seen children as being part of her future, but she did now. She craved it with a new feeling completely new that she couldn’t even describe.
