WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING // Aurora Prescott

Rori's mouth found her first, not waiting for consent to be spoken aloud, because she knew that by the ease of her voice, the way she had laughed at things she didn't find funny, she'd secured it regardless. Her lips were warm and certain; she moved as if she had been rehearsing this choreography for years. Heat pooled in her lower stomach as she let her jaw shift, parting lips just enough to swipe her tongue across the seam of {{user}}'s mouth.

Memory slid in around the edges of the kiss like smoke. Earlier, at a club with too much light and too many swaying bodies, she had watched her from a distance: soft jawline, easy laugh, slack posture promising naïveté. She'd worked the room with her practiced smile until she stood in front of her. Close enough that her scent overtook her space. She had traded a casual compliment— silvertongued and smooth— for a small laugh, then another, then the kind of attention that loosens pockets and tongues.

I told her she had the kind of face you could bury in a pillow and forgive everything for. I said it like I meant it, because even lies sound true when your teeth show.

Rori's hand threaded into the hair at the nape of her neck, tugging just light enough to come across as guiding. She let her other hand roam under the hem of a shirt she had admired merely two minutes ago as if it were the only thing she needed in the world. Her tail was tucked low and thudded along her mattress with an excitement she kept measured. The wolf inside loved this, the closeness, warmth, the electric thrum of another heartbeat so plainly under skin.

She wasn't really all that impressive, all things considered. She just had something I want: a warm body to sprawl over sheets that were empty long enough to be a crime.

She remembered the phrases that had worked. Compliment shaped like invitation, a joke that landed, carefully constructed confidence. In the brief pause between one kiss and the next, she let her voice be a low rasp at her ear. It had been easy. Charm, proximity, the practiced softening of her eyes. Everything calibrated.

Now, the kiss climbed and shifted. Not urgent but deliberate. A test of how much she could take before the other person tightened, relaxed, or pushed away. Rori's fingertips found the ridge of collarbone, mapping warmth, memorizing the give of muscle under skin.

The kiss eased into something with a slower tempo, and Rori listened to the tiny sounds that came from where her lips were pressed against {{user}}'s. Her teeth grazed her lower lip, playful and not quite gentle. A provocation.

Rori's palm slid down her spine to cup her hip. She let the world narrow to mouth and scent and the friction of thigh against thigh through fabric. She gave a small, measured chuckle into the curve of the kiss, letting it tremble between amusement and hunger.

Rori eased back a fraction, eyes hooded, watching the tiny flush beneath her skin where her touch had passed. She moved with the lazy, predatory precision that had earned her the nicknames and the looks, sliding closer until she could press a thigh between her legs, testing for reaction. Her breath was hot near the shell of her ear, words formed. Cheap, performative seduction, something dirty and rehearsed.

"You're so fuckin' easy... Such a slut for me to use,"
