I don't really like myself without you
The feel of her soft skin sent a fire between his legs. Seems the passion that brought them to partake in the creation of a child were still sparking. It was hard to ignore the intense blue gaze of the pony mare. He understands exactly what called his brother to Lace, but he also understands they had more than passion. Ironclad may be the one sharing blood with her, but it was Letavice that she cries for. Their bond had only begun by the absence of his twin. If Letavice ever came back…
Dark blue eyes search her ivory face. He traces all of the reddish-brown spots that make her unique before finally revealing he had a question to ask her. There was no way she could have expected such a question from his lips, but he had not expected her reaction either. Eyes widen in shock when she speaks. ”No!” The shout is abrupt and surprising even to him. His throat clears as he legs move nervously underneath his greying body. His eyes quickly drop to her hooves as his voice whispers form his recent outburst. ”I never want you to leave.” A hoof digs into the soft ground as silence ensues. It takes a minute of two before his dark blue eyes can find hers again.
”I want you to be a leader in my herd. Brother would have chosen you to be his Queen anyway. I mean, I was supposed to be ruling the Inlet alongside Letavice and he would have made you his chosen mate. I have already been betrodden to Medusa and she is worthy of the title. She is much stronger than me and has the experience of her parents to look to. But I want to show honor to my twin as well.” He takes a deep breath. ”Medusa will be acting as my high Queen. She will be in charge to performing some challenges and raids and the herd’s ultimate safety, but you….” Ironclad straightens himself up. ”I would like you to be my Lead mare. A Queen in your own right, above the others just right below myself and Medusa. You will be in charge of the day to day running of my mares. Making sure they find food, shelter, and making sure the kingdom’s foals are safe.”
Would Lace take this as an insult or an honor? He had tried his best to think of a way to make both Medusa and Lace happy while still honoring his brother. Perhaps he has already dishonored Letavice by breeding with Lace…hopefully this could make up for that. ”What do you think?”
