10th Kingdom, Wolf/Virginia, tail
Wolf had always been rather defensive about his tail. Something that Virgina supposed was related to the amount of prejudice present in the Nine Kingdoms against wolves. However, on the rare occasions he allowed his tail to fly free, Virginia liked to amuse herself by watching the all too informative appendage.
There was, of course, the more obvious gestures - wagging in happiness back and forth just like the big, puppy Wolf was at heart. But, that didn’t mean that Virginia hadn’t covertly picked up a few of the more subtle things about tail posturing that weren’t necessarily found in your usual doggie care handbooks.
Such as the high-arched tail curl he was displaying to her now.
Feigning aloofness, Virginia watched from the corner of her eye as Wolf stalked her. A wide, predatory grin forming on his face he circled her once, herding her slowly back into the bedroom of their shared apartment. Taking a deep breath to inhale her scent, he groaned softy on the exhale.
She made it just past the threshold before he pounced, impatiently kicking bedroom door shut behind them.
“I can tell you want me.” He yanked her back against his chest with a smug laugh. Brushing off her playful attempt to escape, he growled softly. Holding her tighter, one of his hands trailed down her front to possessively cup the forming bump at her stomach. Nibbling at her exposed neck, he pressed a growing hard-on into the curve of her ass. “I can smell how aroused you are...”
Grinding against him, Virginia reached back to stroke his tail and was rewarded by a lusty groan that broke off in a whine.
“Not fair...” Quickly catching her wrist before she could do it again, Wolf took a moment to shake himself. Nipping her fingertips lightly in reprimand, he growled low in his throat. “Cheater.”
“Can I help it if I like to pet your tail?” Her pretense of innocence would have been more believable if she hadn’t followed it up by using her free hand to caress his abdomen. Tracing his muscles through the fabric of his shirt with her fingers, Virginia tipped her face up to press a kiss to his chin in a teasingly submissive gesture.
Wolf’s expression twitched as he warred briefly with the alpha instinct to dominate and the desire to be gently mindful of her condition before he settled on gently tossing her on the bed. He wasted no time in covering her body with his own. Peppering her face with kisses while his long tail arched rigidly in the air behind him.
Eyes glinting with a flash of gold, he grinned lustfully down at her.
“I’m sure I can find something else for you to pet.”
