It wasn't really a secret that her heat had started. Though when she woke up it was clear that it had fully started. She felt hot and just felt this need... She nudged @Arric. She didn't really left his side these last few days, only when he needed to do some of his duties.

Now today, she felt ready. This might be her last litter, maybe another year if she was lucky. She would first focus on this year though. She hummed and pushed herself to her feet, tail wagging.

He woke up with a start wondering what. Then as it slowly dawned on him he was wide awake. Immediately. Blue eyes wide. Not that he was frightened. But he was nervous. He wanted to just do eberything right for Arlette even the small inconsequential stuff.

Her tail wagged and she pressed her scent on all sides of him. He nipped at her snoulder and pressed his head to her side.

Heya love bug.

Arlette moved her body against him. 'Hi handsome," she hummed, her voice thick with need. She nipped his jaw affectionately. Arlette wasn't nervous, she was feeling a lot of other things instead. Excitement and eagerness. She wasn't worried at all but she noticed that Arric was a little tense.

"Are you okay?," she asked him. Arlette's tail wagged, enticed. She moved her body against him before basically backing up against him, looking over her shoulder with a grin. She wanted to show him she had no doubts or worries about this. She made her stance a little wider, knowing there was going to be some added weight. But now, with her mind just filled with lust that only turned her on.

A chuckle deep in his throat. He offered her a mock growl at her nip and moved to his feet quicker. A swift catch of teeth near nape and then a gentle soothing touch after.

I'm good. I just want to make sure I do whatever you need from me.

A touch of muzzle to spine. He had wanted to be easy with her. But at her first press. He felt his control slowly unraveling. Large paws. Blunt body he drew her closer. And nose to her ribs and up. Before gauging if all was well.

Arlette chuckled at that. "Oh don't worry I am sure you get enough chances," she grinned at him. She didn't think that even though there was a heat she might not fall pregnant. She would cross that bridge when she got there. She felt a rush of heat shoot through her at the touch of her spine and by her ribs. She whined impatiently and scooted back a little further to spur him on. She was ready. More than ready.

Arric chuckled at that. And then all coherent thoughts left his head. Had he tried to talk it would have unintelligible gobbledygook. He had never wanted someone more than right now.

Her impatient whine drew another chuckle. He painstakingly slowly ran his muzzle up her side. Before forelegs grasped and pulled. And he hooked them into that age old dance. He waited gently for her to adjust to his weight before. That instinctual dance began.

[Fade to black]

Arlette was all giddy when she was freed from their embrace. She thought she would feel more tired, however, she was just filled with energy. It was probably a little bit of adrenaline on her part. She happily nuzzled herself against Arric. She knew he was going to be worried about her but she was fine. Sure, he was a heavy weight but she also wanted to show him that she was strong enough to take it. Strong enough to have his pups. Arlette hoped that this also settled some unease within the male, especially regarding some of the other males in the pack. However, that was probably only completely going away once her heat was gone. She gave him another set of licks, very happy with this.

Arric knew that Akavir and Ensio wouldn't attempt anything. But he didn't know the brother of his best friend well. There was that.

He was wide awake in the afterglow. Workong on calming his breathing, because holy shit. He had always enjoued physical activites. But there was something catyclysimically different about it being woth someone you would give thr moon and stars if you could.

Ahe cuddled into him and he was glad to drag her tighter. Tangling their paws and legs. As he soothed tongue iver neck and face. Chuckling at her ministrations.

Arlette happily snuggled against him. She was so happy, her heart felt like it could burst. She let him soothe his tongue all over her neck and face. It was rather lovely and she felt very loved in this moment. She happily closed her eyes. Hoping that within a few months they would have little ones running around
