It was love.
Vicer seemed to know what to do, for he met my velvet muzzle halfway. I can feel his warm breath as it slides up into my nostrils. It signified that we were a bit more than friends. That we were, well... almost mates? Romantic interests would fit better. I smile, enjoying the moment as it lasted.
If only it could last forever.
I feel Vicer's warm chestnut body move closer to my bay figure, and I felt his teeth as he groomed my mane and neck. I do the same, my dark muzzle brushing against his fiery coat. I smile, feeling as though the world around me no longer mattered. The only thing that mattered was here, between Vicer and I.
I watch as he speaks again, his lips forming soft words. He winked at me before resuming the grooming. It was only then that he rested his head upon my shoulders. I slowly settled my elegant head against his shoulder, embracing his warmth. He began to speak again, looking down at me with soft eyes.
And then, it hits me.
Just like a strong wave on a stormy night at sea, his question blows me back. I can feel my mind buzz with worry. Is it too soon? Should I answer? What should I do? Panicking, I don't speak for a moment. I'm frozen. I gather my courage and then speak, a soft smile on my lips. "I have, but not with just anyone... but with you." I burrow my muzzle into his red locks, breathing in his salty scent. If we did have a child, I would want a foal from this stallion. Is it too soon? He did bring it up, so maybe it was on his mind too. I sigh, inhaling his scent yet again. Oh, how I loved him so much.
