Axelle's reaction had been a little hesitant, which he had somewhat expected but it wasn't negative, which relieved him. If she had have run screaming from her den, he would have been devastated, but the fact that she was still there, curling up on him at least told him that she wasn't adverse to the idea that one day, they would produce pups. His arms tightened around her as her body draped over him like a warm blanket, and his smile only grew.
His own mind began to spin with thoughts of their pups, now that she had agreed to it, in theory, at some point in time. He had never produced a litter of his own, to his knowledge, or been with a female who had done. But this was his favourite area, and the thought of experiencing it all first hand, not from some text book or from pictures, thrilled him, excited him. To be able to feel Axelle's belly swell as their pups grew inside of her... The thought rushed through him and gave him a shiver, causing his arms to drift around her tighter still, his fingers brushing over her pelt as if to soothe her. Perhaps he was attempting to soothe himself in the process.
Hearing her declare than she was his made his smile broaden over his muzzle, and inhaling deeply, he snorted in something of a chuckle, letting his eyes close gently. Sleep was quick to take him after their efforts, and with her body draped over his, his dreams were calmer than they had been in a long while. And when he awoke hours later, she was still there, still wrapped up with him on the mattrass, in her den. She hadn't vanished, hadn't left him during the night. His eyes angled down to watch her better, watching the peaceful expressions, the calm rise and fall of her chest as she slumbered, the way her ear twitched a little every now and again. Malakai lifted a hand gently to brush against her cheek, running his hand under her muzzle to tilt her head just a little to allow him to place a soft kiss there. And when she eventually stirred, Malakai took her as he had done the previous night - slowly, with no rush, and yet powerfully, leaving them once more entwined with each other. What better way to start the day?
