Cerberus clambered back to his feet, clinging to Terra like she was a lifeline. It was really rather silly. Though Terra did like the contact. He just wasn't touching the right places. She met his eyes levelly, waiting for him to either put his hands somewhere else or let go. He finally released her, shakily sliding across the ice. Terra trotted after him, her footing sure. She giggled as Cerberus hit the other side, collapsing in a heap into the snow.

She skidded up next to him, and nodded her head at his words. Wow, you crossed the pond. Her words were gently teasing as she crossed over to him. She nuzzled her head into his chest, hearing the thumping of his heart. The snow was cold against her flesh, but it didn't calm the fire inside her. Terra shifted so that she was touching more of him, though she was too shy to crawl on top of him like she wanted to. Her tail thumped happily, Terra licking his chin.

Cerberus smirked as Terra teased him; he knew full well he’d looked like an idiot, and perhaps acted like one too. But it didn’t by any means diminish the pride that he felt for accomplishing what he’d set out to do, especially when he’d feared failure beforehand. Terra nuzzled up against Cerberus once more, and the warmth from her body helped him relax further. Now that trees weren’t entirely blocking his view, Cerberus could fully appreciate what a clear day it was. A perfect day for relaxing with attractive company, he thought. But he could sense tension nestled deep in Terra’s being, and he wondered if perhaps she wasn’t truly as comfortable as she set out to make him believe.

Turning to Terra, Cerberus reached out to gently run his fingers through her long hair in hopes that she’d relax a little. But then he paused, suddenly wondering if his touch was what made her hesitant. It made sense, especially seeing as she’d nearly been molested by another male only moments ago. With a brief smile for her benefit, Cerberus let his hand casually retreat to his abdomen, resting it there in an attempt to allow Terra to do what would make her most comfortable. Ceri did tend to have a calming effect on others, seeing as he was so laid back himself. But there had been a few cold demeanors he’d failed to crack at a time or two, and he wondered if Terra’s would be the next. She seemed lively enough, playful enough. Perhaps she just needed to warm up a little…or perhaps the fact that she was in heat had completely slipped Ceri’s mind, and he was mistaking her squelched arousal for nervousness.

Terra closed her eyes as Cerberus ran his fingers through her long hair. It tangled all around her body, letting his hands drift over her as he did it. Too soon he pulled away. Confused Terra opened her eyes. The wolf was still smiling, so she couldn't have done anything wrong. Cocking her head Terra smiled back at him, though his hand still pulled away to his abdomen. Growling softly Terra pushed her nose at him, asking to be touched more.

The shyness that ran through her was perfectly natural, considering how this was her first time in heat. Terra was trying to follow her instincts, but it was difficult, not knowing exactly what was being asked of her. No explanation to protect her from making mistakes, just primal urges to find males and hold their touch. Softly Terra reached out, tugging at his ear. She reached out, licking his cheek.

Terra’s reaction was fervent, as if discontinuing contact would prove dangerous for her. Cerberus looked the fae over curiously, wondering what it was she was thinking. But he didn’t ask; instead, Ceri returned his hand to her hair, sliding his fingers through the soft tresses. Nudging closer, Cerberus allowed his gaze to dance around the girl’s face and neck, until finally his hand slid down her back and came to a stop on her hip. Ears swiveling back to lie flat against his skull, Ceri’s usual coy grin found its way to his lips again, and he looked into Terra’s eyes playfully yet seductively. He understood now what she wanted, but he wasn’t going to give it to her that easily. It was just how he was: willing to flirt, but far above the notion of mindless sex. He supposed that being somewhat in touch with his emotional side made him a little less piggish than most men, and he was fine with that. He’d received a fair amount of tongue lashings for it, but he’d also received a great deal of respect. Those who gave him such respect were the ones whose company he valued. If he was going to mate for life, he wasn’t about to dance around to various beds and run the risk of having children dotting the land. He was by no means ready to be a father, and because of this, he was almost painfully careful with his affection.

But then again, perhaps this was the true reason he didn’t ever go beyond ‘first base’ with most canines? And he knew it was – he was terrified of the thought of becoming a father. Not only was he absolutely not ready to give up the freedom of wandering wherever he pleased and flirting with…well, anyone really, deep down he wondered if he would turn out to be just like his parents: cold and oblivious. To have yet another suicide on his hands, perhaps even more than one…it was enough to tempt him to remain celibate for the rest of his life.

Shaking himself from his thoughts, Cerberus resolved to simply holding Terra, staring out at the slick surface of the frozen pond as his heart threatened to tear from his chest. He didn’t want to be serious about this anymore; he wanted to go back to playing like they had before. That’s what he was good at, playing. Suddenly he had an idea, and with a quick nip to Terra’s ear, Cerberus grinned wickedly and moved to pin the girl down. I have a surprise for you, he growled, and you’re going to love it!

The male gave in to Terra's pleas, returning his hand to tangle in her hair. Happily she whined, rubbing into his chest. Her own hands danced softly across his body, enjoying the feel of his fur under her hands, the smooth form of his muscles. It wasn't quite visible under the thick winter coat, but enough was there for Terra to see. Meeting his eyes Terra smiled. It seemed Cerberus finally caught on to what she was asking for, though she certainly wasn't completely sure of that herself.

Terra was pulled into his arms, and she settled in there happily, though it wasn't long before that wasn't enough, the desire in her veins demanding a higher price. She reached up to nip at his fur playfully. Her own ear was nipped though. A small yelp of surprise escaped Terra, her tail wagging happily. Suddenly dominant Cerberus was twisting Terra around, pinning her beneath him. That wasn't something she liked so much. Growling she met his eyes challengingly. A surprise? That would be fantastic, as long as he let her up.

Cerberus was rather surprised at the discontented growl that shook in Terra’s throat in response to his pinning her. He’d expected her to squeal, giggle, anything but growl at him. This gave him reason to believe that perhaps this female preferred to be the dominating instead of the dominated, and he wasn’t sure he was okay with this. Being the male, he almost felt it his duty to be in charge, to be the one in control. But this female clearly didn’t like that, and as soon as he’d climbed up on her, he returned to his seat at her side once more. Never mind, he muttered shortly, ears flattening against his head, it can wait.

For a moment, Ceri contemplated standing up and leaving right then and there. As beautiful as Terra was – and perhaps even worth it – he wasn’t about to get in a battle over dominance. He wanted to believe that it was all a result of her little episode from earlier, but with the way her personality was and how she’d teased, it all made too much sense: she didn’t like the lack of control. However, this didn’t truly bother Cerberus as much as he’d expected it to. Gathering his cool again, he smiled charmingly at Terra and slouched over his knees as if nothing had happened. So, he finally said, tell me about yourself. If nothing else, he resolved, they could at least be friends.

Forced submission was never Terra's strong suit. Her very nature rebelled against doing anything against her will. Cerberus might not have meant it that way, but the feel of force behind it had startled her badly. His retreat, while welcome as it allowed her to move freely again, left Terra slightly puzzled. Cerberus had removed completely all contact. Even worse, the promise of a surprise was revoked as well. It must have been something she had to submit for.

Whining softly Terra purposely made herself submissive. Her ears and tail flattened, trying to entice him to take control again. His smile was sweet, and Terra moved to be able to lick his chin before rolling back to how he'd placed her, twisting her head to meet his eyes. What would you like to know? There was a wide range of things she could tell him about herself, not all of them good. He'd have to ask much more specific questions for an answer.

Remorse was the first thing he felt at Terra’s newfound submission, and then slight arousal. Though he’d hoped for it in the first place, he’d by no means expected it after the way she’d reacted. He slipped his hand back around her hip, but it didn’t get the chance to stay there long, for she soon pulled away to lie down again. Puzzled, Cerberus cocked his head to one side and allowed the tiniest of whines to pass his throat, his eyes searching Terra’s face all the while. Though he liked to play games, this girl was just downright confusing, and she was beginning to make Cerberus feel rather off his game.

At her own question, Ceri took the opportunity to lie down beside the she-yote and fold his arms behind his head. Peering up at the sky, he crossed one ankle over the other and sighed softly. Well, let’s see, he began, taking a moment or two to chew on his bottom lip, there’s a lot I WANT to know. Perhaps we could start with your likes? Dislikes? Hobbies even? You are a luperci after all; what do you use those hands of yours for?

Throwing a sly smirk in her direction, Cerberus slowly began to relax again and forget about the moment’s confusion. He enjoyed Terra’s company, and that was enough to keep him from throwing his hands up in the air and moving on to the next bit of forest. And there were those beautiful eyes – as much as he tried to pull away, they clutched his resolve in a chokehold. He couldn’t ditch this girl; he wouldn’t. But he wasn’t above dismissing himself either if things got uncomfortable.

Feeling his hands at her waist made Terra regret returning to the ground so quickly. If she had waited longer, perhaps more touching would have followed. Perhaps she might have still been given her surprise. Cerberus settled in beside her, and still playing submissive Terra edged forwards, nudging his arm softly with her nose. She grinned at his words, though this time the coyote played nice and didn't move, letting her tail wrap around her body.

The most difficult part of the question for Terra was what she used her hands for. There were things she did with them, but telling a stranger about them seemed rather questionable. Most canines didn't care for thieves after all. Licking her nose she pondered the question. Surprises, games, shiny things. She couldn't resist them, unused to the allure, always snatching them away even if she didn't keep them. As for dislikes, discipline, fighting, and being pushed away. Especially right now, when she craved touch. I do tricks with a friend. Tricks meant to entertain the audience, rather than herself.

Cerberus smiled weakly as Terra nudged further against him. It seemed as though she felt bad for growling and pulling away, but it really hadn’t bothered him that much. With a twitch of his pointed ears, Cerberus tucked his arm around the girl’s waist and gave her a quick hug before lying on his stomach, arms folded beneath his head again and eyes turned to her. He stayed close so as to reassure her that everything was okay, and his tail drifted over briefly to brush her knee before flopping back over to rest on his thighs. His eyes threatened to close as the sun warmed his back, but he nodded at her words to jerk himself awake. He chuckled softly at ‘shiny things,’ silently deciding that that was an endearing quality. He liked shiny things too; it was part of the reason why he’d always wanted piercings of one kind or another.

Her words came to a slow stop and Cerberus nudged his snout against her shoulder to assure her he was still awake. ”That’s cute,” he muttered, mismatched eyes hiding behind pale lids now. Cerberus was notorious for falling asleep wherever he lay, always interrupting a conversation with a snore or sleepy mutter. But he was determined to stay awake this time. He just hoped she didn’t think his drowsiness was a result of her being boring, because she absolutely wasn’t. Excitement itself resided in her jade eyes, and her lithe body was held together with a bright spirit. But Cerberus was…well, a man. Sleep came easy to him, especially after a meal. Tail flicking softly, Cerberus pushed his snout into the crook beneath Terra’s ear before he took his last waking breath…and then a tiny snore rumbled in his nostrils.

OOC Happy Valentine's Day! Shouldn't have had him fall asleep XD

Cerberus pulled Terra into a hug. For a moment she nuzzled into him, happy in his arms, before he tucked them up and used them to lean against. Resting her head on his chest she listened quietly. Terra smiled softly at his words. Cute. That was a word only her birth pack had used, back when she was still just a pup. Her tail wagged happily as he stuck his snout in his ear, pulling back slightly as a snore rumbled through him. Amazed at how quickly he'd dropped Terra stared at him. Well, that was insulting. Dropping off on her. Especially since he'd been so attentive before.

Spotting the rope around his neck Terra smiled. Carefully she slipped away, not disturbing his body. Removing the rope from around his neck she used it to secure him to a nearby tree. Leaning down she brushed against her face softly before slipping away into the woods. Shifting into lupine form she wandered through the woods, humming the tune he'd been softly whistling before returning to the festival, looking for her next target.

Cerberus didn’t wake until the fae was gone, the rough feeling of the tree bark against his neck sending an odd jolt down his spine. Fiery eyes darted about, trying to make sense of what was going on. All he could gather was that Terra was gone, and now he was hugging a tree with his wrists bound by the rope that had once adorned his neck. With a few vain tugs, Cerberus lowered his ears as an annoyed whine passed his lips. Oh, she was good. This was definitely the last time he’d fall asleep on her…that is, if he ever saw her again.

More tugging ensued as Cerberus tried to slither a foot forward to push against the tree. But it was no use, for he was in such a position that his legs could only be used to kneel on at the moment. Painfully, Cerberus tried to twist his arms around, his wrists wiggling against the taut rope in an attempt to loosen it. His fingers stretched awkwardly to try and untie the knot that bound the rope together, but Terra had pinned him in such a way that only hours of labor could free him. And so he worked, tugging and twisting and stretching and snorting, until finally the rope loosened enough to allow him to slip out and tumble backward onto the cold ground. Staring up at the sky, Cerberus growled curses under his breath as he realized that he could’ve just shifted into his lupus form, his tinier wrists allowing him to escape without much struggle. But Terra would’ve clearly known that in his frustrated daze he wouldn’t think of this. Oh yes, she was good.
