Hannah sighed as he leaned over, lifted her hair, and brushed a soft kiss across her neck. She laughed softly, when through the silence she could hear her children breathing, so sweet, so soft, so precious.
Hannah sat suddenly up and wrapped her arms around her knees. “Listen, Strong Wolf,” she said, scarcely breathing herself so that she could enjoy listening to her children breathing. “Hear them? Hear them breathing? Sweet Snow Princess, Sweet Wolf Fire, our precious children.”
He scooted himself into a sitting position beside her. “Yes, is it not a sound to be treasured?” he said, drawing Hannah next to him.
“Darling, when I was with child, and was not aware that I was carrying two children in my womb, I had so looked forward to the time when we would be listening to our child breathing in the same room with us at night,” she murmured. “I never in all of my wildest dreams thought that I would be listening to two sets of breaths. I still can’t get over knowing that we have two children in our lives so quickly!”
He placed his hands at her waist and gently urged her onto her back. He knelt over her, a knee parting her thighs. “Let us make a third child,” Strong Wolf whispered huskily.
Her eyes dancing, her heart pounding, Hannah nodded. She twined her arms around his neck and drew his mouth to hers.
As they kissed, rocked, and swayed, Hannah could not help but think about the way it could have been, had they not fought and won the many battles they had been faced with since the day they had met.
She knew that they would be faced with many more challenges during their lifetime together. But for now, she would just be grateful for what they had.
Hannah’s heart beat like wild thunder as the warmth of pleasure spread through her. “My wonderful Potawatomis chief, I . . . love . . . you . . . so,” she whispered against his lips.
“My woman . . .” he whispered back to her. “My one and only; my desire.”
