Sleepy Fox Hollow [M] The Ballad of Lonely Bear

Normally, she might have wanted a parade, a dance, even to be herded about as a show of his ability to perform a stallion’s duty- but Colosseum had proven himself in other ways. The gentle but firm hand with which he led and protected the herd, the respect he showed the mares and the investment he had in sharing and receiving both stories and advice. He would not need to be tested for merit- he had already proven himself. 

She welcomed his touch, simultaneously flirtatious and demure- and returned the gesture with soft brushes of her muzzle and warm breaths of her own. The man who had won the herd would earn the gift of becoming a father the next Spring. 

I’m good to fade if you want one more post <3
