Tawny ears swivelled back the moment Ceri said the word “lesson.” A thousand ideas swarmed into the she-wolf’s head at what he might want to teach her. Her long tail curled around her legs, and arms tightened gently across his shoulders. When her companion revealed that it was simply about taking a compliment, she relaxed for a split second, one ear swivelling to stand erect before flattening right back down again. Divine? Her? If only her pelt wasn’t quite so thick, Ceri would have surely seen the effects his words were having on her.
As he set her down, she continued to look up at him in surprise before moving her head forward. She laid it on his chest gently, closing her eyes and allowing a shy smile to grace her muzzle. Slowly, her arms came down around to loop his torso, keeping the boycoy as close as possible. Ciara wanted to compliment him in return, but she didn’t know how. Wasn’t ‘beautiful’ more of a term for women? If she called him that, would he feel emasculated? The yearling was nervous all over again, for she wanted to return the kind words but had no idea how.
She buried her nose against his throat, and began to work her tongue over his fur in a loving attempt to flatten it. “Thank you…” she finally said, voice holding a barely concealed stammer. “You…well, you’re…handsome.” That last word was said with a wince, for Ciara didn’t believe that it fully described how he looked. To her, if there could be an Optime equivalent to the bronze, muscled heroes of Ancient Greece, Cerberus would be it.
Shyly, she brought her hands up to his chest, and stood back a little. The girl watched her own humanoid hands as they trailed down the flat, toned plane. She was memorizing every muscle, tracing each little bump with her fingertips and staring down at them as if in a trace. She might look absolutely silly, but something told her that the male wouldn’t argue with the inspection. Finally, while her ears swivelled back to a normal position, she looked back up at him.
“Very handsome.”
