Pay with Blood (May be R)

Daniel laughed lightly and stroked her hair. "Aye... tonight we run... we will put the children down for bed... and run... be wolves..." he said. "I want to go for a run with my mate as well..." he said continuing to stroke her hair...

Daniel relaxed as she rested her head on his chest. He still held her, unable to really go without at least touching her. "I love you too..." he said. "Mmmm... so much..." he said. His mind focused on her, on his mate... how much he loved her, how much he wanted to hold her, thinking that he would be crazy if he couldn't feel her touch. He kissed her lightly once more.

"Hmmmm.... do I have to..." he muttered lightly, teasing. He ran a hand down her body, feeling her curves once more. He kissed her deeply once more before he made a move to get up... he didn't really want to, but the children would be back at some point...

Markus followed Mera as they walked by the sea. He looked over the waters with her and smile. "Any ideas for a name?" he said somewhat brightly as he wrapped his arms around her, holding her stomach.

Daniel watched her stretch. He smiled lightly, his eyes wandering over her body. He seen how she looked at him as well, pleased with how his body looked. He grinned sitting up. "Aye... just a lazy pup... but a happy one..." he said standing up, gathering up his clothes.

Markus nodded, holding her lightly. "I know... that... that it might be hard... but... I love you... I would love having pups with you..." he said.

He felt her kissing across his strong sholders. He smiled lightly. "I can see that in your eyes..." he said with a small chuckle. "Mmm... you still look wonderful without your clothes on... breathtaking..." he said looking back at her. "It's hard not to just run my hands over your body, feeling your skin, your curves, your breasts, your backside... your beautiful body..." he said.

Markus nodded... he understood... things that like were in his mind as well... He held her close, and didn't say anything for a bit. "We can pray..." he said. "I know... I feel... that everything will work out..." he said.

Daniel laughed lightly as she walked away "I know love... your lucky I haven't tackled you again..." he said starting to dress. He knew that they would have time later... he control himself that much at least.

Markus held her and was quiet for a while... just watching out at the sea. It was beautiful. He kissed her lightly. "I hope so too..." he said.

She put her clothes on and smiled at Daniel and kissed him before taking his hand "should we track down our little rat bags?" she said.

"You never know what tomorrow brings..." she said with a sight looking out as the sun was slowly setting over the water.

((Is it ok if I kill Mera? lol I thought of another piece of action in the story.))

"I guess..." he said chuckling a little bit. He did wonder where their little girls got off to. He smiled, watching as she put on her clothes... he managed to finish getting dressed as well.

Markus held her tight... he knew she was right... his last wife was separated from him by fate... he looked down to Mera... he couldn't lose her... not now... he didn't know what he would do...

((lol, wow. It would be a twist, go for it))

They walked out of their home and down the path to the town. Lith had sent the girls off to get a list of foods and herbs so they would most likely be at the market.

She turned and held him tight. "Markus..." she said then stopped. She just held him close, feeling his warmth. She nuzzled into the little gap in his shirt and ran her cheek against the skin and hair on his chest. "I love you" she said.

((I think it could make things interesting. Not sure if I'll do it or not))

As they walked down the path to the town, Daniel moved his hand to hers, holding it as they walked. He squeezed it lightly, knowing the girls would be alright in town... "Smart thing sending them shopping though... it gave us enough time together at least..." he said

Markus felt her nuzzle close to him, he kissed her. "I love you too..." he said holding her tight. Almost afraid that if he let her go, she would disappear...

((Still, go for it if you wish, lol))

"Tonight will be fun then." he said. "Running under the moon together..." he said with a little smile. He knew that she wanted to run as well... while they were together, he felt her let go, he felt the spirit of the beast start to rise out of her, the run would do her a lot of good.

Markus looked to her, he had forgotten what exactly that night was. He looked down at her. "Well, lets head then... if we want to get back before the sun completely sets." he said, still not wanting to let her go. He used to be so shy, he had gotten a bit better, but still was a bit quiet at times.

Daniel looked down at Sabe, then to Lith. He thought a moment... it sounded fun to him, he couldn't believe that he forgot. "Of course." he said. "I think it sounds fun, besides, we don't get a chance to do this every day" he said smiling.

Markus' mind suddenly clicked, that's right... it was all hallows eve... Markus smiled down at her. "Hmm... anything you want me to wear?" he asked her. He had some good clothes now. Being in his profession, he had a few regular customers... he could afford some clothes. "I have some stashed away for special occasions." he said with a little smile.

Daniel followed as well. "Hey... well... I guess it is kinda true..." he said. "Hehe... still just a pup at times." he said with a little laugh. He was happy, watching as the two little girls got excited when they found out what they were getting for the night.

Markus smiled. "Alright, I have a few nice shirts I can put on, and plenty of dark pants." he said. "Hehe... the girls I bet will be excited." he said with a little laugh.

Daniel nodded, happy to see that the girls were happy. He moved with his family back up the path to the house.

Markus followed her though the market, knowing the excitement that the girl's faces will hold. He looked up at the sky, hoping that they wouldn't be late... but he knew that they still had some time. "Right... hehe... they are going to be so excited.
