The Sorcerer's Bride

The rest of the day pa.s.sed blissfully for Zylvia . She was in the clouds just thinking about the chance of motherhood . Though she had not wanted to get overly excited, on the off chance that they were wrong, she could not help it .

So long had she dreamed of motherhood and suppressed those desires . There was no way that she could have ever stopped herself from dwelling on it and grinning to herself whenever she drifted away from whatever conversation was going on . Nor could she remember much of the afternoon of that day as her head constantly churned with her delirious happiness .

Night time came swiftly to her and it was not long in her own mind before she was turning in for the day . Climbing in to bed next to her husband she cuddled up beside of him .

Kaldrek tugged her close to him as he tucked her into bed . His fingers threaded through her hair and he tugged gently, combing her tangles out by hand . She smiled, closing her eyes, enjoying the feel of his sweet ministrations .

Even though he had implied certain desires that morning to her, Kaldrek merely held her close and kissed her forehead gently . Zylvia hoped that he was not just trying to be considerate of her maybe pregnancy . Cause that would make her feel bad for him . After all, he always put her first before any needs he might have .

She watched him shutter his eyes closed, and felt his arms gently tighten around her . she examined him closely and noticed that he was not all that tired . She frowned; a bit annoyed that he was trying to pretend . At the same time though she felt amused at him for even trying . Kaldrek was not good at pretending, especially at something he always had such obvious tells of .

She lifted her hands up to tangle in his hair . Though he managed to keep his eyes closed, his breathing and heartbeat did pick up . With a giggle, she leaned into him, "Pretending to be asleep, my love?"

He sighed, and opened his eyes, "Well-" He looked into her eyes and sighed again, "I guess that was… . well, sorry . " He cleared his throat and then gave her a small smile .

She pulled his head closer to her own and pressed her lips against his, softly moving up against him as she did so . She heard him groan softly before his hands moved down to catch her waist as he secured her close to him .

When she pulled back with a shy smile gracing her lips, Kaldrek smiled back at her briefly . Then he caught her lips with his own again . She had no idea how long he covered her lips with his but she was breathless when he finally stopped .

He nestled her in his arms, holding her close and burying his head in her hair . She ran her fingers through his messy hair and played with his ears . She loved watching them twitch and enjoyed the way he never told her off for it .

She heard him chuckle, "So do you forgive me for trying to trick you?"

"With the way you just kissed me? Yeah, I will . " She nestled even closer to him, enjoying the feel it gave her . There was a thrill just being near her beloved husband .

"You are pretty easy to please, love . " He laughed softly into her ear .

She fell silent, unsure of what else to say at the moment . Especially with the distracting way his hands were fingering her waist area . He did want… but he was not sure if she was up to it .

A soft smile came to her lips . It was nice knowing how much her husband cared about her to not want to do anything that he was unsure whether it would harm or not .

"Kaldrek, dear . " She kissed his neck gently, and felt his arms tighten .

He mumbled in her hair, "If you are sure . I mean you could be pregnant and –"

"I know . "
