[To see just how deeply damaged one was from the rot of loneliness, is to feel the stinging discomfort of those old wounds being soothed by the gentleness of companionship. She cannot speak for Cellinia, but Mai's own memories of relaxing so freely like this have been buried under the weight of countless disappointments. Such comforts were withheld from her to begin with, though she'd steal any chance she could back in those long-gone childhood days. They seemed so distant to her, as well— a different lifetime ago, the anchor loosened and setting her adrift upon an merciless ocean. Even now, though she might sometimes find herself sharing a bath with her classmates after a grueling bout of lessons, she still can't reclaim that innocence, that freedom she once clung to in the shackles of her old life. It was all different— there was no mirror of herself any longer in Kyoto. Her family had stripped that from her too, hadn't they? But that just might be something that Cellinia could never retrieve again for her, no matter what promises she'd make.

Yet, in a way, Mai can recognize the slivers of what she seeks, dancing in the shadows where her lover's vows lurk in the meantime. Because Cellinia isn't her mirror, no. Whenever her hazel eyes trail over her, drinking in every inch with an unsatisfied curiosity, everything upon the surface reminds her that this wolf is far from being her reflection. But in a way, is there not a novel manner of comfort to be found in this simple fact? Cellinia needs not be exactly what Mai seeks— but rather, something far greater than what she might have ever fathomed. She doesn't know it now, of course, the two of them still fresh in this bizarre affair of theirs, yet Mai can be perceptive, as well. A force of habit from the life she needed to survive. This, too, is something she'll have to survive— this new feeling that will almost certainly tear her heart into the prettiest of pieces to be put back together again

Taking care of her lover with these chaste little touches are a fine distraction from the gravity of what this all really means, anyway. Mai's hands leave those happily twitching ears in favor of soaping up the rest of Cellinia's hair, laying sections of sudsy strands over her shoulders and covering her lovely and bitten bosom as she finishes them. White bubbles clinging to the black-red locks dissolve into the water as soon as the ends kiss the surface. It'll all get washed off, eventually, but this only adds to the cute image of the wolf sitting patiently beneath her— her hair half-covered in the foam of the sweet-smelling shampoo, the bulk of it coating her fluffy ears like airy little clouds. Oh, but the sweetest part of this is that unmistakable flush gracing her cheeks. Faint or not, Mai gleefully takes pleasure in this sight, feeling like she's getting exactly what she wants. Spoiled girl, really.]


Well, that's a relief.

[As always, the soft mocking in her voice is thinly-veiled. Maybe she is a tad relieved, though, hearing it from Cellinia's lips. Her honest little wolf, reminding her once again that their time spent with one another is not a spell of false benevolence, concealing what nature would otherwise dictate of a beast. But it's her blushing that betrays the most, an expression wholly unbefitting of someone who might have intended to act every bit the frightening encounter for a petulant girl. Cellinia openly declares that she harbors no such intentions— and this only makes her all the more charming. Enough so that Mai dares to pepper light kisses across the pink hue of her cheeks. Is there any point in resisting? It's fine— there's nothing salacious about these kisses. Not yet, anyway.]

You wouldn't get this far if you did.

[Though, the same can be said for the both of them— had Cellinia been anything more terrifying from the get-go, Mai would have quietly retreated, likely cursing her typical laziness for putting her in the path of something that would only inspire more nightmares. Whenever she can avoid it, she's all too happy to close her eyes to the terrors that seem to slink around every corner. It's fortunate that Cellinia, for all of her menacing decorations— hereditary or otherwise— is still more cute than scary. Yet, who does this luck seems to favor more, little red riding hood or her wolf? The correct answer is almost certainly both of them.

Mai's fingers are once more caressing the soaped-up fur of Cellinia's sharp ears once she acknowledges that she'll be needing to rinse it all off before long. She sits up just enough to lean forward and reach up for the handheld shower head with her free hand, and before she returns to sit fully on Cellinia's lap again, Mai leans in to one well-lathered ear and murmurs cheekily.]


Just be scary for everyone else, then.

[Mai knows it's a tall ask, impossible even, not at all a productive one if Cellinia is to keep being a working girl. And who knows— Mai could find herself playing the hypocrite sooner rather than later. If Cellinia's greed would be the scariest side of herself that she'd choose to share with Mai, then it just might be the kind of fright that this girl could get accustomed to. She'd suffer the adrenaline rush and forfeit herself to the jaws of a wolf, tremble beneath her keen eyes if that's what was demanded of of her. It could be a rather fun game of give and take, this flirtation with the roles expected of them by the outside world.]

[Cellinia is especially endearing when flustered like this, enduring these soft kisses about her face while it's more than obvious that she is easily moved by Mai's touches. Whatever manner of innocent love she might have given her heart to in the long-gone days of her youth might be forever lost to the disappointing turn of time, but the flush upon her lovely face is proof enough that her heart isn't frozen completely against a tenderness found in a rather unlikely place. A strange corner of an otherwise nondescript delivery, a patch of warm sunlight tucked away in the oppressive darkness of life's inevitable suffering— an echo indeed, of the innocence she might have taken for granted until it was too late.

This is what girls like them are reduced to now, isn't it? Taking part in agreeable distractions from the missteps and failures that have sapped the light from their eyes, in the hopes that maybe this time, this time, they might retrieve true relief in the depths of another. It's a gamble to reach in blindly, no matter how accustomed one might be to the darkness. Yet the two of them seem to be fine like this, grasping about albeit nervously, wondering if their wandering hands might set off some unseen trap, tearing them a wound that would join the others in how deep and unhealing it would become.

It's amusing, that these lovers can be cautious in their own subconscious ways, while their bodies charge ahead rather recklessly.

Mai catches the way Cellinia's ears perk up when she speaks against them, and her body feels the slight tremor going through the wolf at that same act. It doesn't take much, does it? Oh, how Mai adores the way Cellinia trembles beneath her, whether it's innocently like this, or at the mercy of her appetite atop sheets they'll mess up again. It makes her swell with the pride of having the power without needing to do anything more than this. But, it only makes her think almost too immediately of all the ways that she can get even more delightful reactions if she dares to go just a bit further.]


Oh, really? You'd cover my eyes before doing bad things, hm?

[Honestly, what are you to do with this mischief-maker, Cellinia? She's twisted your words for her amusement, and leaves no room for guessing where her thoughts sharply veer with the way her laughter fills the room again. Is it her fault? Cellinia makes it too easy for her, and if she can enjoy that blush for just a moment longer, she won't pass up the chance. Taking Cellinia's chin and tilting her head back, Mai waits for the water to become warn enough to wash away her handiwork from the dark fur and hair. Her fingers move to shield her wolf's pretty, blushing face from the stream of water and shampoo that otherwise descends into the bath. A gentle touch, an admiring gaze, despite the amorous intent of her words.]

You're really into that kind of thing, aren't you?

[She purrs, an obvious allusion to Cellinia's penchant for restraints. The idea of it might be a little different, here, but Mai will prod her with a teasing reminder anyway. Whether or not her lover means something far more innocent than what her own thoughts conjure up, doesn't matter all that much to Mai. She's inspired, goaded even, to let her know that she's thinking of it, this suggestive little memory she intends on treasuring, especially when she finds herself lonely once more.]

But I bet you're prettiest when you're begging for forgiveness. I'd find ways for you to make it up to me, I think.

[Already, thoughts of all of the ways that Cellinia might earn that forgiveness tumble about in her head as she runs warm water over the last patches of foam. Perhaps their thoughts are not so far off from one another's, when it comes down to it. Cellinia has given her wicked mind a taste of just how sweetly she can treat her— and that was without a mistake to correct. Forget that this entire encounter began as a mistake on both of their parts, one that they're no doubt satisfied to have made, in the end. Neither shall complain too much if they add to the pile, should Cellinia choose to have Mai tag along with her on days when the job is plenty demanding. Goodness knows that they have a poor track record keeping their hands to themselves while in her car
 ]

Well— I probably wouldn't have you apologizing for too long. Lucky you, right?

[But a nice and proper girl certainly wouldn't be insinuating the kinds of things that Mai currently is. A better use of her lover's mouth, undoubtedly, offered under the benevolent guise of sparing Cellinia the shame of profusely apologizing for frightening her— with words, anyway. She shouldn't object, right? Because Mai really does hate scary things, and what better way to remedy body-freezing terrors than something decidedly more hot and pleasing?

At last, the shampoo is thoroughly rinsed through. Cellinia's hair is without a single speck of lather, though scented pleasantly with lavender, calming, and irresistibly so. Enough that, once Mai replaces the shower head and wraps her arms tightly around her lover's shoulders, she breathes her in deeply. Cellinia is such a pretty contradiction, she silently acknowledges, at once dangerous and safe. Has Mai crept her way into a wolf's blind spot, somehow? Or is she in the beast's plain sight, kept in her mercy while the rest of the world may shudder in fear? Maybe it doesn't really matter, because Mai will end up pushing the boundaries regardless.

Such as now, when she ghosts her lips over one of Cellinia's ears. Nice and clean. Mai kisses along the edge first, the sensation of the fur there wet and soft against her mouth. There's a sliver of impatience in the way she takes her fill like this, as if she's been waiting for such an indulgence since they first climbed into the bath together. If it twitches against her kiss, she won't mind in the slightest, and might find herself smiling mirthfully before teasing her tongue up along starting at the base. Is this not her own manner of a sweet treatment, or something unquestionably sinful? Cellinia ought not to have put such strange ideas into Mai's head with her vague insinuations— doesn't she know that this girl has quite the imagination when it suits her? Well, she can certainly ponder on it as Mai takes the tip of Cellinia's sharp ear and nips at it with just her lips, a slight pressure not meant to elicit any pain if she could help it.

Yes, you ought to feel very lucky now, Cellinia. That to Mai, behaving comes second to getting her way when she makes the decision.]

[Clever, clever little wolf. How just from a single look exchanged between the two of them, Cellinia can feel out Mai's less-than-innocent insinuations. When their eyes lock, it only serves to make concrete the fact that their minds are all too quick to wander when they're so close, like this. Innocent love really doesn't have a place between two girls whose nervous hands are still bold enough to reach out and seize whatever frayed threads of enjoyment are dangled before them. It's true, that this manner of love would only taste far too sweet upon tongues that are more accustomed to the bitterness and rot set out upon dishes meant for sinners like them. And, after all, wouldn't a love crafted purely for innocents attract the eye of tragedy, which would far prefer to savor the deaths of a virtuous pair upon its stage?

Better to be cursed and corrupted by a love born out of lust, so that it might trick the gaze of those who would berate these two for the sin of falling into one another's arms so readily. All of those naysayers can do as they please, prattle on about how a wolf's heart has no space for love, how a beast shall forever remain a beast, no matter how beautiful her visage nor how diligently she tries to carve a place for herself amongst humans. And they can call for Cellinia's head all they like— only too late would they discover that their own heads would be the price paid for attempting to crush a love truer than any of them would ever know. Let them burn in the flames of their own indignation that two hearts found their lonesome match— whenever that day shall come. For now, these yearning lovers will bask in their own heat, one of a passion that fits their bodies almost too perfectly together.

'Behaving' was the order given, but now it's devolved into little more than a mere suggestion. Neither of them are silly enough to believe that this wouldn't be the case, especially now that their minds are dancing into rather dangerous territory. Mai deserves the brunt of the blame for it, conjuring up the delicious memory of Cellinia aching and dripping beautifully beneath her eager tongue. She was so good for Mai then, wasn't she? Yes, so good that it spurs the girl to want to test her obedience again, stretch it to its limits, mock her patience until it shatters and pierces her like a thousand blades bathed in pleasure.

Another contradiction, and a curious one, truly— how that soothing scent of lavender is, at the same time, provoking a desire that swells with every inhalation that Mai takes. It's not enough to breathe Cellinia in, deep into her lungs, stealing away the notes of rainfall and cinders that linger like a secret yet to be revealed. No— how can it be enough, when she had promised Mai to leave her smothered in this unique fragrance, marking her in yet another way? She refuses to accept anything less than being thoroughly haunted by Cellinia, wearing her in every manner she is able to, inside and out.]


Careful— it sounds like you're looking forward to a little scolding from me.

[It's a satisfying little fantasy to entertain, isn't it? Dutiful Cellinia, instructing Mai to cover her eyes before she'd turn her beastly nature upon whichever unlucky souls found themselves in her line of sight. And if she didn't trust Mai to not take a peek despite knowing better, the wolf might even do the job herself, restricting her vision while whispering to her lover not to look until she gives the word. All the better, for it would free Mai to cover her ears and drown out the sounds of whatever carnage Cellinia would wreak upon those monsters.

On any normal occasion, Mai would balk at imagining anything that might set her heart racing with stress, fear, and anxiety. Far more safe to retreat in the shadows of the depths where she knows she belongs, where she knows that she can plead ignorance to the dangers that lie in wait for a more daring soul to emerge. Yet, here they are once more, allowing these darker parts of their hearts to guide their imagination into painting a scene almost too ghastly to speak aloud.

How frustrating, if only because Mai recalls too well what had happened the last time she got caught fantasizing with Cellinia about such things. Her body reacts on instinct, and desire hums pleasantly through her veins at the memory of how she had clung to her lover like a lifeline while at the mercy of her fingers, and how she was practically brought to tears as she pleaded for things she really shouldn't have been. And now, they're only adding to that memory, making it fuller with another facet of something all too tempting— Cellinia would slaughter whoever she needed to in order to keep Mai as her own for the rest of time, but she would murmur sweet apologies to her afterward for subjecting her to the horrifying sight of it all. With reverent kisses and reassuring touches, she'd take her time to erase the fear struck into her from making this vicious wish come true.

If Mai wasn't already taking advantage of her plum position atop Cellinia's lap, she might have let this fantasy tempt her irreversibly into chasing its lascivious promises. Her lover's offer to return the favor and help Mai tidy up can go ahead and perish upon her lips, for the time being. Surely, there will be time for that once Mai has her way with these fluffy ears— and the rest of Cellinia, if neither of them decide to compose themselves in time. Will the water grow tepid before they finish what they set out to do with this bath? It would be a true shame if it went the way of yesterday's shower, but Mai intends on leaving here cleaner than when she arrived— preferably after a bit of fun that might leave her delightfully messy, first.]


Mm, is this fine?

[She breathes, her voice low and soft in between the teasing licks she trails along the edge of that poor, sensitive little ear. That's right, pretty wolf— sigh and shudder for your goddess, who so graciously pays attention to her loyal devotee, and bestows this veritable honor for playing along with her so well. Won't you melt for her just as she does for you, in these daring touches? She is well aware that she does nothing to keep Cellinia's patience intact, her own well-splintered already— not that she was famous for her discipline to begin with. They can stop, they certainly still can, at any time, even if it means both of them staring at one another in deep frustration while they hasten the remainder of their bath time. Will they stop, though? Mai is plenty satisfied remaining upon Cellinia's lap like this, her thighs flanking her hips tightly as well, their bodies practically close enough to be one.

And as the tip of her tongue dips into the spaces between Cellinia's piercings, Mai can't help but make the decision for both of them— stopping would be utterly cruel. At least let her lavish adoration upon her wolf's precious ears. Let her engrave another memory to treasure during the interim.]


Am I still being carefulenough for you, Cellinia?

[Her lover had given her a gentle caution, one that Mai intends on heeding even if she feels the temptation to flirt with the boundaries. More than that, though, Cellinia promised Mai enough kisses to fill her greedy heart to the brim if she treated her ears with care. An incentive to be gentle is more compelling than acting for gentleness' sake— oh, that makes her a rather wicked girl, surely. But how can Mai help it, when she's plainly aware that life itself is a game of exchanges? Just as she knows what her lack of efforts earn her, she understands very well what a sincere attempt may yield, as well.

There's no shame, no sense in hiding how into it Mai gets. Her lips nip where and when they please, her tongue darts and flicks at places that earn her especially cute reactions. All the while, she sighs blissfully against Cellinia's ears as she takes her fill, moving to lap at the one she had been neglecting as soon as she satisfies her curiosity with the first one. The sensations are strange of course, unlike any she might have indulged in with other lovers— none of them were wolves, after all. And yet, she has found herself more pleased with this wolf than she had ever been with any other. It might be those wonderful sounds being given so freely to her, those beautiful eyes she cannot see in this position but, oh, how they must look right now! A slight shiver creeps its way up Mai's own spine beneath Cellinia's fingertips, and it only encourages Mai to lick and kiss with greater enthusiasm.

Ah, how truly terrible at behaving she is. They really ought not to bother with any more of these endeavors, if they want to avoid the taste of failure.]

[A heart can be the most traitorous thing, its rhythm betraying that which lips might refuse to speak aloud, or the very things that even the mind would make itself ignorant of. What kinds of secrets do these lovers scramble to keep hidden, a vain attempt to keep a shred of dignity for themselves, despite already baring so much to one another in such a short time? Even a jaded heart can be susceptible to the peerless flavors offered by the sins they would dare to succumb to in one another's arms. Even a soul so thoroughly starved of affection would cast aside dignity and carefully-calculated indifference for a love deep enough to remedy their battered hearts. And even if it irreversibly wounds their pride to be seen so blatantly as the pathetic girls they are for it, the damage will have already been done.

Oh, but how much does that dignity truly count for you in the end, sweet wolf? For Mai can feel it between the wet flesh of their bodies pressed together, the beat of Cellinia's heart quickening as she teases her without a lick of shame. Whether or not she'll ever make this admission out loud, this wolf really is hopeless, letting herself grow eager at the simple suggestion of a reprimanding, at the chance to make things right by her lover with apologies and pleas for forgiveness. But Mai might already have an inkling that her lover likes to entertain some odd urges, from their fun last night. Not that she minds one single bit— and if Cellinia keeps being this good to her, she might find that Mai will keep indulging her.

They're both addicted after all, to this poisonous affection. It goes without saying that it'll spell their inevitable ruin, the most delectable of deaths that would usher them past the threshold of a paradise long-forbidden to them before now. From the outside, it looks every bit as twisted and marred as it ought to be— a pair of lovers ruined by the world who deemed them unfit for something as pure as love. Those fools will never be able to see the truth of it, though, that because this love of theirs is so terribly impure, it'll grip them violently until it breaks the two of them into pieces that they shall only ever be able to repair together, becoming irrevocably one.

No matter— right now, they can pretend that they come close to this beautifully ruinous end. Right now, they can feel as if they are indeed one from how their racing hearts beat in time, an erratic rhythm that can only be satisfying to lovers every bit as spoiled and ignoble as they've been reduced to by the very circumstances that have molded them to be one another's refuge.

Oh, there it is. That's what Mai wants— how, upon her lover's tempting lips, a drawn-out sigh bleeds into a breathy moan. Good, good, for that means that her patience is nearing its breaking point, just as Mai desires. It aggravates her in the best ways, how arousing such a sound is, the way it causes Mai to shift her body against Cellinia's in a futile attempt to press herself even closer. There's no point— they'd need to transcend this barrier of flesh to become any more enmeshed with each other. So, Mai shall have to make do with this, a blooming frustration that they can't simply melt into each other whenever she wills it. In truth, she had felt the shadows of this feeling the night before, when they worshipped one another upon their altar of ruin. It wasn't enough to feel Cellinia, to hear her, nor to taste her— and she would soon have to surrender to the truth that it might never be enough.

She wants more, this insatiable girl, she wants more because she's wise now to the fact that, so long as she demands it of Cellinia, it is hers. How generous her wolf is, how forgiving of Mai's relentless appetite for such delights. But that generosity belies a greed all its own, Mai can tell, barely-concealed in the strained breaths she feels fanning dangerously against her neck. She wants more of that, too, another bite to finds its company amongst the rest of the marks left earlier by her lover. Surely there must be a patch or two of untouched flesh begging to be decorated, even if they might venture into places where her uniform might not completely hide. Oh, well— Cellinia can have herself another reason to apologize, if she feels daring enough. The urge is mutual, and Mai is so close to have it fulfilled that it sets her nerves alight.

And when she hears her name pronounced so needily in response to the lapping given by her merciless tongue, she feels a jolt of excitement roll up her spine, wracking her body with a deep shudder that she doesn't bother to suppress. A delighted moan of her own is muffled by her lips nipping once more at the base of one sweetly-trembling ear. Only a second passes before she sighs fully, pleasurably against it, a breathy 'fuck
' uttered in a haze that is half-mindless at how gorgeous her name sounds tumbling from Cellinia's desperate lips.

Of course, the confession she makes after leaves room for a fair dose of curiosity. Mai obviously doesn't understand those words, but if there's something that Cellinia wants to say to her, ask of her, do to her, then it'd only be kind to drag it out of her, no? Her wolf doesn't have the privilege of keeping secrets, not in this position.]


Mm
 what was that?

[Already missing the soft sensation against her tongue, Mai pulls back just enough to get a good look at Cellinia's face, freeing one of her arms to take her chin and hold her in place while she drinks in the handsome beauty beneath her. Oh, she does look so lovely, absolutely tormented like this, the struggle bright in those searing amber eyes. The way she gazes up at Mai is at once fiery and fragile, as if it would take very little to destroy the final, flimsy restraints keeping her from surrendering to the temptation boldly set before her. She looks as if she'd set her lover's body aflame once the last shackles are loosened for good. At the same time, though, the endearing desperation to behave and be good for her still vies for power in Cellinia's conflicted eyes. You'll give in, darling wolf, you'll give in because isn't that reward enough after being frustrated like this? And when Mai at last asks for your hands to wash along her back, perhaps there will be a few more of those pretty marks to treat tenderly in the process.

They can both have their way, but Mai will have hers first. Damp fingers dance over Cellinia's lips as Mai smiles down at her pridefully.]


You said you'd teach me, remember? Don't tell me you've changed your mind about it.

[It's not true, she knows. All she has to do is ask, and Cellinia will tell her what those pretty slips of her mother tongue mean. Still, the irony isn't lost on Mai— she is a rather terrible student, infamously so. Anyone tasked with teaching her anything needs the patience of a saint and a hefty amount of respect from Mai in order to get anywhere with her. Does it amount to much, in the grand scheme of things? Mai has always been a rather poor investment, she knows, no matter how much her teacher tries to look after her.

Yet with Cellinia, it's completely different. What she has to teach Mai, the lessons that this girl might learn from playing the diligent student whenever the mood strikes, aren't part of some altruistic mission for society's sake. They wouldn't even enrich Mai in ways that might make her family hold her in higher esteem. No, these lessons are purely selfish in their nature, only meant to spoil an already-rotten heart.

She's painfully aware that she'll miss it, come tomorrow when she's back to learning about all of the horrifying ways she'd have to put her life on the line with her paltry talent. Is it so wrong to prefer lessons in how to survive after putting one's heart on the line in the face of love— the most terrifying entity?]

[Paradise is nearly theirs. Heaven is within the ocean that promises to drown them, the storm that will, with certainty, sweep them away in its unrelenting rage. It is within the rot that sets in their heart from the wounds of their miserable pasts, the flesh that festers after imbibing this poison shared between them both. Yes, paradise lies where their sorry selves decay only to be reborn into the most splendid of gardens, blooming magnificently after the rampaging fire of lust leaves behind love's silvery ashes to scatter over their starved soil.

One could easily say that the heavenly bliss that they unknowingly pursue hides within the virtue of patience, which Cellinia tries so pitifully to upkeep despite her body aching to succumb to the desires practically eating her alive. If it feels as if she'd sooner give herself to the voracious flames of hellfire than relinquish her hold of her lover, then it can only be because the ecstasy of paradise vows to burn just as brightly, and ignite her with an ardor that would put the punishing flames of hell to shame.

It's so very fortunate for the both of them that, despite a traditional paradise rewarding the virtuous with everlasting happiness, the battle-won heaven that Cellinia forges for their love instead bestows blessings upon the truly shameless. How lucky they are— and yet, this wolf still works so hard to keep her yearning at bay. No matter how divested of shame she might think herself to be, she is still halted by the fear of brazenly giving in and shattering a promise that they both knew they didn't have it in them to keep. It's obvious, and beautifully so, that Cellinia has committed herself to doing whatever Mai asks of her, even if it's the best and worst kind of torture to deny herself along the way.

As wicked as Mai has proven herself to be, taunting Cellinia with nearly impossible challenges while hinting at the most gratifying prizes for completing them, there shall be no true disappointment whenever her lover finds that she's unable to endure for much longer. You've held on quite remarkably, Cellinia, far longer than Mai could have if the task had been presented to her, instead. That needy whine says it all, confesses without words that she's nearly fed up with abstaining for the sake of her goddess' approval and praise. The fingers curling around her wrist do the same, keeping Mai in place while Cellinia trails her lips down into the curve of her palm. Until, at last, she answers Mai's question hotly against her skin, her eyes as tormented as the strain in her voice as she confesses her truth.

Ah— so that's what she had meant with that pretty foreign tongue. There is no surprise in Mai's expression at it, it isn't the first time she's been confronted with Cellinia's hunger to satiate the craving of her lips. Rather, she seems just as pleased as one would expect, hearing that the wait to taste her through kisses is practically tearing her lover apart. Mai tries to inject a bit of sympathy into the look she gives Cellinia, but it ends up appearing more as if she pities her for her suffering, instead.

'Why?'— her eyes seem to ask— 'Why don't you just come and take one for yourself?'

It's such a simple solution that would ease Cellinia's anguish. Mai would do it, herself— she'd declare how annoying it is to be troubled by these urges before taking as many kisses as she wanted, without even waiting for a reply. But in this respect, they're not at all the same, and Mai secretly adores Cellinia for it.]


So, what's stopping you? [Then, her eyes grow wider with an exciting realization, a familiar glimmer of mischief making itself home within them.] Is it me?

[Of course it is, of course it's Mai herself who has the power over how this dance of theirs proceeds. Because of Cellinia, she has the rare opportunity to conduct the tune, command the very steps they'd take, how slowly or quickly they might move together. She's the one who keeps her lover's desires in check, and it is her word, and hers alone, that decides if Cellinia's wish can come true. All she craves is a kiss— that should be so simple to give, or simple to take, were her wolf not beholden to her own personal code of respect and manners.

She regards Cellinia with a gaze that is just as searing as the one she gives to Mai, though the desperation evident in this needy wolf might hide itself a bit more cleverly within the haughty, molten hazel. The only thing hotter than the heat of Cellinia's splendid eyes are her lips against Mai's palm, claiming a makeshift kiss upon damp skin that likely still wears the faintest notes of lavender from their dutiful efforts to make this bath worthwhile, earlier. Mai knows where they'd rather be, and the tip of her tongue peeks out to swipe against her bottom lip in obvious anticipation.]


You said you'd kiss me if I was gentle with you.

[Nestled within this musing is not only a reminder of the task entrusted to her by Cellinia, but also a lifeline for her yearning lover. For a moment, the tables turn. This wolf had asked this of Mai, one of the few requests she had made in her dealings with a girl who is more than happy to take, if given the choice. And Mai had made good on her word, no? She had handled those lovely ears with all of the gentleness she could muster as she tidied them up beneath a calming lather. And even as she let herself get carried away, Mai still likes to believe that she gave Cellinia more pleasure than pain.

Though
 with how tormented she looks, watching Mai with a white-hot intensity while her lips press against her wrist, perhaps she did contribute heavily to this ache she so plainly laments.

Well. There's an easy remedy for that, too. And Mai beams as if nothing delights her more than to offer it in this moment.]


Go ahead— tell me how good I was to you. And then


[And then— oh, there's no need to think too hard about the reward awaiting her if she gives Mai what she demands. You won't have to content yourself with any more mere kisses against her teasing hands, Cellinia.]

I can make that ache of yours go far away.

[Now, that which lurks beneath her benevolence truly rears its head. Such a sinful smile she wears as she murmurs these words, never tearing her eyes away from Cellinia's as she does. This promise is replete with obvious suggestion. Mai would pluck from her starved wolf the pang of needing to feel their lips upon one another's— and she'd take care of any other ache that might be plaguing Cellinia, as well. Anywhere this agony might be buried, Mai will find it, draw it from her flesh, and swallow it with the greed that it deserves.

What an offer, no? Only a fool would deny themselves such an easy liberation from their self-inflicted torture. And you're no fool, Cellinia, but even now, you're waiting for permission. Well, here it is— one last little exchange before Mai sets you free to satiate your burning greed, and her own as well, even when you both know the futility of taking on such an endeavor.]

[If this may be their only chance to surrender both the worst and best parts of themselves to another soul who would understand these scars, then let them surrender wholeheartedly— consequences be damned. Cravings like theirs can only be satiated through discarding every rule and punishment doled out in the cages that raised them. Such obedient little girls they were, then, unaware that the best of destinies was waiting for them to create it, themselves. Redemption at last arrives for these sinners, who tremble in each other's arms in anticipation of forfeiting their bodies to the blissful release promised by a kiss. Though it shall only be a momentary reprieve before the torment of separation fills in the spaces left behind, let these two teach each other, learn from each other, just how thoroughly their frustrations can be rewarded.

Later, much later, can they ponder over the challenges that this love might pose to them, the longer they carry on. How enduring is a love built by nervous hands that hardly know a thing about it? How fulfilling is an affection created from promises soaked in blood and violence, rather than an unadulterated kindness that would far better nurture two hearts who seek out one another? Every rational thought that might rise from the shadows of their curiously-begotten passions can certainly demand an answer. Think about it, think clearly about it— why not let this become but another thrill to shelve amongst their memories, a pretty golden glint tucked between the drab and painful gray? But the biggest folly is believing that these girls could ever choose rationality when they'd much rather bathe themselves entirely in the golden light of this treasure unearthed in each other's embrace.

They'll leave one another with parting gifts of love, even if it might not yet wear such a name just yet. Cellinia is more than welcome to impress beautiful reminders of a beast's love upon her goddess' body. But in turn, Mai shall not disappear from her wolf's den without cradling that desperately beating heart and submerging it so deeply in her attentive adoration that it might never yearn for air again. The way that Cellinia watches her before taking her reward, with a gaze so intense that she doubts that any amount of kisses could quench it, only affirms to Mai that this is the right path for them. No, it's the only path, open and stretched long in front of them, where they will cease to refuse their longing for each other's touch any further.

Cellinia may be the first to crack and give in at the temptations so brazenly offered to her, but Mai isn't immune to the breathtaking sensation of relief once she's given both her due praise and the most pining of kisses. If anyone is pitiful here, it's most certainly Mai, who whimpers needily as soon as her ears are graced with the sound of Cellinia revering her so ardently. Oh, how she cherishes it, the anguished desperation drenching every word Cellinia speaks aloud before succumbing to yet another pressing of their hungry lips together. No, Mai can't get enough, either, and welcomes the way her greedy wolf clings to her, shifting their positions slightly in the same vain attempt Mai had made not long before, to melt into the other irreversibly. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter that they can't get any closer than this, and Mai can't do anything other than mirror Cellinia's eagerness, wrapping her legs around her waist with the added space and tightening her arms about her shoulders. Even then, it's not enough, an agony all its own, but Mai can ignore it in favor of how splendidly dizzy she feels right now, soaked in praise and never-ending kisses.

Cellinia's adoration takes center stage, her goddess so generously casting the spotlight upon her, now, while staking her place as a rapt audience of one. Mai dares not interrupt her, nor cut short her words with any pointless thing she might say in return. This is all she wants, the only thing, and if she has to hold her tongue and offer herself up to satiate Cellinia's ravenous lips, then she'll do it— she'll be so good for her again, if this will keep the flood of praise spilling over her parched heart.

It's still so new, the sudden rush of satisfaction that floods her when she's indulged so readily by her lover. That when she asks for something, it's given without question or admonishment, a back-handed remark or a reason to feel guilty for even making a request in the first place. Mai had swallowed this bitterness repeatedly throughout her dismal youth, learning not to expect a thing from the people who were supposed to love her— not even the barest sliver of attention, for she knows that it would have made her parents only too happy if they could ignore their failures and still imagine their own lives bright and full of promise. Once, she would have given nearly anything for even a word of love from them, any acknowledgment that her existence was worth the effort. A pointless wish, of course. They left her a void to patch up however she could, and discarded her along with a disappointment she quietly resigned herself to carrying for the rest of her life.

Of course, starved as she is for praise, for recognition at how she can be good and useful when she puts her mind to it, Mai utterly melts at Cellinia's impassioned words as if she has been touched by the sun itself. Oh, her hopeless lover who bears a name that evokes the image of a cold, silvery moon, harnesses the light she steals from the sun far better than daylight's grandest star. It doesn't even feel worth it for Mai to try to maintain her haughty superiority in this moment, not when it feels so liberating to finally, finally have everything that her pathetic little heart has been pleading for.]


Mm-hmm—

[She feeds an anxious hum of approval against Cellinia's lips as they kiss again, another traded amongst the countless they've given like this. Mai agrees, they really do fit perfectly together, molded against each other with how tightly Cellinia holds onto to her, their hearts singing for one another in their frenzied rhythms. For a moment, she almost considers apologizing for eventually having to leave her lover alone without her taste, but the urgency beckons her to abandon this sentimentality in favor of giving Cellinia exactly what she had promised— more, more, more kisses, enough to make her forget she had ever ached for them to begin with. Oh, but that's not all her lover wants
 ]

Touch me, then, Cellinia.

[After another break in their kisses, Mai sighs her name out hopelessly, as if it were a wish that she was afraid she'd lose the chance to make forever.]

Do it— do it, or I'll just go and make you wait again.

[Right— Cellinia would be the one to endure another bout of Mai's sweet torture. As if to prove her intent, she looses her hold around her lover's shoulders, keeping one hand firm around the back of her neck, while the other snakes down between their bodies. With the same care she boasted earlier, but no less of an appetite, Mai cups her palm over the fullness of Cellinia's breast, feeling thoroughly pleased at how her fingertips sink into the soft and pliant flesh, catching the droplets of water as they trickle down. She leans in to kiss her, all while rubbing her thumb slowly over the the stiffening bud of her nipple. See? Nothing is stopping Cellinia from touching Mai, as she so badly wishes to. Nothing, save for Cellinia herself.]

Then you'll really lose it.

[Even breathing out this threat causes Mai to grin against Cellinia's lips before claiming them in another open-mouthed kiss. She slips her tongue along her precious wolf's, hasty and slick in her movements, and uncaring of how messy they're becoming. After all, what better place to truly make a mess of one another than right here? And Mai, so painfully turned on now— all thanks to her handsome and eager lover— wants so badly to ruin Cellinia again. Not a single thought that passes through her mind of how exactly she'd love to do it, is the least bit innocent.

When she speaks next, her voice is burdened by its own low and needy whine, but the intent couldn't be any more resolute.]


Cellinia, I wanna make you lose it for me


[A mistake, Cellinia, to confess your troubles oh so honestly— did you really not think that Mai wouldn't use it to her advantage?]

[It's almost too easy to forget that time insists on passing while they lose themselves in a more shameless manner of play together. They have forgotten that the grains of sand in their hourglass continue to spill, despite how cleverly they might have stretched their night together into another afternoon. Or, perhaps, it could be that it is time itself that compels them to succumb even more hastily to an addiction that had practically leapt up out of the blue for them during the scant hours that they had spent together. And because they aren't given the luxury of time to fully comprehend the treacherous emotion that will tear life as they know it to irreparable shreds, they shall call this anything but 'love.'

It's possible that Mai might've gotten a glimpse of it in it's mind-numbing beauty beneath the silvery light of the moon, held firmly in the reverent gaze of one who offered her true freedom in exchange for possessing her completely. Yes, that must have been love, announcing to Mai that it does indeed exist in this most curious of unions, before disappearing with the dawn and daring her to chase it. Is she even sure that she wants to pursue it? Would it even allow her to catch it? It could be another taunt, another goal forever out of reach to her grasping hands, her cruel mind will have her believe. Even if it's right here, here and unmoving in her very hands at this moment, sighing and breathy beneath her hungry touch, melting deliciously with every passionate kiss exchanged.

Yes, Mai has love in her foolish, clumsy grasp and doesn't even know it. She doesn't know that it tastes like Cellinia's lips against her own, that it feels like their hands caressing and teasing the sensitive parts of their bodies, that it sounds like those aching moans humming against Mai's tongue as Cellinia feeds them into every feverish kiss they share. It hides in the way that this wolf ghosts her calloused fingers up Mai's spine again, a silent promise to haunt her in the shudders that this touch elicits. She doesn't know, this silly girl, that she has something so brilliant in her hands that it blinds her to its true nature. And she'll wonder why, as she tries to fit it erroneously into a compartment of lust, why she lies awake at night, unsatisfied and lonely and missing her lover.

Because as long as it's lust, she can tell herself that nothing could be easier. But as long as she finds herself circling back for more, she'll discover that the best parts of her are in the fragments she leaves in the wake of pleasure from their nights spent together. And one day, before she knows it, she'll find herself more at home in this den than anywhere else, where the chaste affections shared in the daylight fulfill her heart just as splendidly as the love they'll make beneath the moon's careful watch.

Is it Mai's fault that she wants to leave behind a reason to return? Her lack of talent extends, without a doubt, to the grace she can give to any potential friend or lover. Being kind, being sweet, or even being patient— it is territory that's hardly familiar to her. It would even be more apt to say that she elects to be ignorant of it, turning her nose up at such weakness because she knows that it is merely another invitation to be crushed again. She knows too well how people will treat a vulnerable little flower, ripping apart its fragile petals for amusement, because what fight can something so flimsy put up? So she's done it, herself, torn up anything lovely that might have blossomed from tenderness, and replaced it all with an overgrowth of thorns to keep everyone away.

In some respects, she wishes she had those pretty blooms to give away, plucking them from herself to present to Cellinia. She could keep them in a little vase, with each petal that withers and falls a countdown to when they can meet again, to build a secret devotion beneath another intoxicating bout of kisses. How romantic, and yet how foreign to Mai all the same. But she doesn't have any flowers to give. This garden of theirs is far from flourishing still, the seeds barely sown as they impatiently await the rainfall to come. All she has to leave behind are her desert-borne thorns and spines, tipped with her poisonous yearning and buried deeply within her lover's scarred flesh. And maybe, once Cellinia is finished drawing out the last few, she'll decide that she loves the sting of Mai's affection and find herself circling back for more of it, too.

Even now, it seems as if she wishes for Mai to paint her a rather amorous picture of what rewards might be in store if they continued on like this, pushing each other to their limits and seeing what exactly it'd take to ensure that this addiction lasts forever. Fine— Mai can do it. She really does want to keep being good for Cellinia. How mean of her devoted wolf to use her neediness against her like this!]


Ha— you wanna hear it? You'd rather I tell you, than show you?

[Of course she does, the masochist. It's another form of self-inflicted torture for the wolf, and Mai would call her out for it in words, were her breathy laugh not already mocking enough.]

Easy— I'd never let you touch me, ever again.

[Though, this answer is only easy because Cellinia has only made it all too obvious that she never seems to get her fill of touching Mai. Not even moments ago was she lamenting at how, in her attempts to sit still while those pretty ears fell prey to her lover's wicked lips, it took everything in her not to let her hands wander where they longed to. It's easy because it's a lie— because Cellinia's fingers teasing at her breast, her touch slow along the grooves of her spine, are sensations for which Mai would sooner die than never feel again. With a small, blissful whine, Mai cranes her neck enough to give Cellinia room to explore as she pleases.]

You liked it enough last night, didn't you?

[She taunts, knowing it was wrecking Cellinia to have her hands out of commission, despite being the one to suggest it to begin with. Mai would torment her until Cellinia pleaded with her oh so prettily again, completely unaware that this little game would only serve to feed her desire to be loved and wanted, a deeper and more pitiful longing that hides beneath the cloak of lust as it beckons Mai to satiate it.]

R-Right, I'd—

[A small gasp punctuates her thought, the sensation of Cellinia's lips finding yet another space upon her neck to suckle another mark drawing her attention away to melt into the pleasure. From this position, with her lover's head dipped to occupy her lips at Mai's neck and collarbone, it leaves those fluffy ears open once again for another round of sweet agony.]

I'd make you tell me all of the ways you wish you could touch me, and


[She breathes out sharply, shakily, before taking the damp fur between her lips for a firm nipping, humming a low groan as she then gives it a soft suckle of her own. Mai releases that ear just enough to let her tongue trail over where her lips once played, and finishes her terrible threat.]

And then, I'd do it myself, right in front of you.

[Just the thought of it makes her swell with giddiness, the amusement such that she can't resist laughing hotly against Cellinia's ear. Yes, she'd make her beautiful wolf's fantasies come true, but by her own hand. That would do it, that would make Cellinia vow to never be good for Mai again, wouldn't it? Even if she's so beautiful when she behaves
 ]

Wouldn't even let you have a taste, after— not even if you were crying for it.

[And oh, how she would love to bring her to that point. What would it take? Would Mai have to reduce herself to tears in the throes of pleasure before her devoted wolf, in order to really make her lover lose her mind? A splendid idea, an excellent exercise in imagination, one she would certainly have to remember for whenever they find themselves longing again, and with ample time for such a cruel adventure.]

[Such a maddening beast— what is Mai to do with you, Cellinia? It's as though her threats no longer bite the way they ought to, as if you can see them for how empty they truly are beneath her arrogance. In a way, though, it excites her. Something electric sparks through her veins at the wild look Cellinia gives her as her hands still indulge her with their intimate caresses. This is what really gets Mai going, isn't it? Pressing, pressing, and never letting up until her target bites back once they break for her, unable to take any more of her torment. And she's had a fair amount of fun in this way, albeit brief distractions before the flightiness of boredom would draw her back behind its curtains once more. And, in the end, none of them deserve to even think they could hold a candle to this ultimate prize— the most beautiful wolf who marks Mai with love even as she loses her mind for this truly terrible girl. No, all of the others are nothing in comparison, hardly even the dimmest of stars that Cellinia drowns out easily enough in the light with which she has illuminated Mai's never-ending night.

Were she not absolutely engrossed in the debauched words that spill from her lover's lips, Mai would have quieted her straight away with an impatient kiss. From anyone else, these passionate threats would have rang hollow, a pointless gesture to fluff up a partner's ego while delivering something wholly lackluster in the end. From anyone else, these marks of almost-ownership would have been left behind so carelessly that Mai would have suffered the annoyance of mustering up even the barest shred of pride at wearing them. There's no way she would ever whimper for them as sweetly as she does for Cellinia as she takes care of each new bite she decorates Mai with, nor would they ever have the privilege of hearing those soft sighs of approval when her wolf's handiwork is complete.

But Mai's desire is a depthless pit— once a goddess has basked in pure, enamored worship, once she has tasted the sweet indulgence of being so utterly revered, she simply can't return to obscurity, to the complete nothingness that awaits her once she's far from the eyes of her most ardent devotee. She wants more of it, darling wolf, and how could she not, when you've spoiled her rotten with your wordless offerings? Pray to her, won't you, Cellinia? Pray in the way that only you can, and marvel at the rewards you shall reap in return for it.

In that ever-charming way of hers, Cellinia makes plain that which she desires as repayment for her worship. What she wishes for is Mai's approval of her beastly nature that is urged to break free whenever her goddess' taunting goes a step too far. It hungers and burns feverishly within her, waiting impatiently under the veneer of a merciful humanity carefully worn to blend in with the ever-cautious masses. She wants Mai to see it, to marvel at it, this unrestrained side of Cellinia that would carve a thousand beautiful reminders of her touch and kiss as she claims her lover in more and more bouts of sweet lovemaking. The wolf, of course, terms it more bluntly— that she'd fuck Mai as often as she pleases until the girl is irrevocably haunted and obsessed with her. How animalistic of her, how beastly, but Mai would expect nothing less, despite how prettily she offers such a fate. In fact, she welcomes it, from the spark of arousal that dares to ignite something ferocious in Mai, herself. Their bodies crave one another's with a need that puts all others to shame— a desire that shall, indeed, one day turn into a love that will redeem them both, but this need is also borne of an echo to the same lamentation that they had only ever believed to be for their own personal grieving.

You've found each other, pitiful lovers, and dance around promises to never be apart. 'Break free,' certainly, but only because you know that you will always return to bury yourself in deeper.

Mai groans softly, blissfully as Cellinia kisses her way up the column of her neck. Within every press of her lips is a teasing delight, one that hints at how perfect this mouth might feel anywhere else, everywhere else. And when her lips are but millimeters from Mai's, it's a cruel taunt all its own. So, the beast can still restrain herself, even after making her grand, lustful declarations? Mai hates that she loves it, hates that she herself is tempted to become the beast, here, and take what she wants rather than playing to the coyness of this little challenge. She almost does, claim the kiss that Cellinia deliberately holds herself back from, before she's posed that final question.

After filling her mind with titillating imagery, her lover asks her— would she like it, these sinful promises to ruin her body with a deluge of pleasure? Does she even need to ask? That frustrated expression twisting Mai's features into something impatiently beautiful ought to speak for itself.]


Maybe I would. Maybe that's exactly what I'd like, Cellinia.

[Though her words try to carry a certain lightness to them in attempt to maintain an easy nonchalance, the way that Mai's body faintly shivers in excitement is her ultimate traitor. Because she can imagine it oh so clearly, you know— and the warmth of the water pales in comparison to the heat pooling in her belly at merely imagining all of the places where Cellinia promises to feast her lips. Every nerve in her body is terrorizing her, nearly raging at her to demand that her lover take her right then and there. And this vexing wolf can only be all too cognizant of how she gets to be the one to shatter Mai's resolve, like this.]

Is that what you want to hear, you monster?

[Her words drip with the prettiest of poisons, this little epithet far from the insult it might have been, any other time. There's nothing but a hunger-drenched affection that promises Cellinia that this side of the beast is one that Mai won't shrink away from facing. Yes, this is the true nature of a wolf, luring girls like her in with a handsome visage and carnal vows. And once they're caught in her grasp, they'll wonder why they had ever thought of escaping.]

Look at you, threatening to make a meal out of me like that— see? You've already lost it, no matter how much you think you'd be able to get the better of me.

[But it's only fair to admit that just from words alone— these cruelly delicious promises to smother every inch of Mai's soft skin in kisses— that Mai is losing it, too.]

What, would it make you happy? Sending me back there after you've had your fill, knowing that maybe— [ and she draws out that last word, emphasizing that she won't claim the certainty of it, even if they both know the truth ] —maybe, I'd rather be here, with you?

[And she hardly misses a beat: ]

All yours?

[Doesn't that sound so heart-meltingly appealing, pretty wolf? All yours, just as you crave her to be.]

But, you know, I don't think you'd be able to sleep at night. All you'd imagine is poor me, right? Crying my eyes out because you'd make sure nothing could ever compare.

[She sneers, though the troublesome suggestion is as much as slight to Mai as it is to Cellinia. Laid out like this, she all but affirms that she'd be left nearly empty after being spoiled so lovingly beneath Cellinia's attention.]

Yeah— you'd want me to miss you. Let's see


[Oh, she has something up her sleeve. Her eyes look into Cellinia's with a flicker of their usual impishness before she decides to soften her expression, carefully, into something decidedly more yearning. From their respective places, her hands trail wetly over Cellinia's skin as they move to cup her face as they have before. How beautiful, as if she was made to be touched by Mai, and Mai alone. Another shift in positions, and surely the water can swallow them entirely if they so desired. Not yet, not yet. Not until Mai proves to her wolf that she, too, can utter words replete with affection. She brings their lips close again, and watches her through a lidded gaze, speaks to her in a low, seductive hush.]

Cellinia, I miss you. I miss you so much, I don't think I can last another day without you. I'd do anything to feel you again, whatever you want, whatever it takes
 please? The ache is just too much for me to handle


[Convincing enough? The honeyed words almost drown her sharp edges in their thick sweetness, and the plea in her eyes is well-trained enough to fool a softer heart. Her wolf, she can tell, is better than that, smarter than anyone else that Mai might've played her games with— had they entertained her for long enough, anyway. She's proud of herself for this little display, even if it comes at the expense of dredging up a pathetic neediness from the recesses of her heart.

At last, their lips meet. A swift kiss, light, like a small prize claimed for a victory she isn't sure is fully her own. They can share it, a single kiss, while so many more wait for their boldness to overwhelm the final fragments of reason. Yet there is little that is reasonable about Mai's self-satisfaction in this moment. Is that so terrible? This exchange of theirs has her rather enthusiastic about the ways that they plan on ruining each other.]


But— that's never going to happen. Because I'm not letting you break free.

[Not from whatever restraints they'll be playing with the next time they want to test one another's limits— but is that the full extent of Mai's declaration? Another meaning lurks beneath her words, the shadow of them kissing the surface but not quite discernible. Can Mai construct something unbreakable to keep Cellinia in, forever?]

No, I don't think I'll ever let you escape, Cellinia.

[You can count on this this threat— no, this vow of Mai's own, that she doesn't hesitate for a moment to make. She'll hold onto that generously-given leash like her life depends on it.]

[How fitting, that these two have twisted something as mundane as a shared bath first into a threat of ruinous flirtations— and then into the certain promise of something akin to a baptism, with how close they are to slipping beneath the surface. When did these waters become so sacred? When did the treachery of their lust give way to that which might cleanse them both of everything they might have been before finding one another within Fate's peculiar amusement? For this baptism demands that they shed every last inch of their old skins, those that bear the fingerprints of everyone and everything that had ever impressed such misery upon them. None of it can remain, none of it can follow them into these sacrosanct waters, not if this promise of love is to ever come to fruition. And, in its own strange manner, there is hardly anything innocent about this rebirth waiting to welcome them— they shall drown in their own sins, the ones they recognize in the vows made willingly to one another, and rise anew from these waters bound to each other far more irreversibly than they might have ever been to the hallowed prestige that had shaped them.

Within this lonely den now fashioned into an altar of its own, this goddess reaches out her greedy hands to claim every last prayer she harvests from her most devoted beast, body and soul. Mai touches her like she is the one who desires to make her own claims of ownership. She holds Cellinia— hands dripping holy water along her cheeks like a veritable blessing— holds her as if she dares her to shy away from a worship that might dash away her nightmares for good. Oh, how Mai knows, she knows that these prayerful kisses are all for her. That there is the antidote to her heart's suffering in the poison of their strange affection for one another. And she knows that her own absolution lies in the fiery passions that only a provoked beast can wield in her blood-drenched claws.

Doesn't she do it so well, Cellinia? Ignite the more baser side of you, the one that compels you to do away with everything polite and reasonable, everything sweet and respectable? For a girl who shrinks at the terrifying entities taunting her outside of these walls, cruelly demanding that she beholds them with her unlucky eyes, Mai seems to have acquired a unique taste for the perilous hunger in Cellinia's wild gaze, impatient to devour her. Is this all it takes, simply recognizing the monster that she might have preferred to keep at bay for the sake of not frightening away her lovely goddess?

Good— show it all to her, Cellinia. Embrace that monster, yes, leave behind your humanity for a spell. When have humans ever done any good, after all? Funny, that Mai feels safer in the arms of a wolf than in the shadows of her own kinsmen, that she might even feel more at peace submerged beneath the tepid waters of this bath than forgotten in the familiar halls of a grand estate. Despite how badly that fearful little voice in the back of her mind might want to cling to her always, refusing to be washed away forever in this curious ritual of devotion, the heat between her and Cellinia burns with such a ferocity that it nearly snuffs out whatever might be crying out to Mai in self-preservation.

'No,' it begs her, 'no, don't look at her, don't look, she really is a monster—'

But Mai doesn't heed this voice, not this time, and not ever again, if she can help it. She doesn't close her eyes, not when Cellinia practically looms over her, now, so close to kissing her, and then— and then, she says it. 'Mine'. Mai feels as though, for the briefest of moments, her heart stops, the air in her lungs frozen despite the fire of their mutual desire being fanned recklessly when Cellinia finally closes the scant distance between them with a ravenous kiss. This is it, the greed of a beast who has been pushed too far, taunted and prodded to her limits despite her best efforts to behave. Because, that is what Mai wished for, isn't it? For them to bare their more unsightly sides to one another, daring the other to look away, close their eyes because the view is just too horrid to withstand?

They kiss as if it is the last one they might share, desperate and deep and messy. Mai can taste it, the gravity of this single word, the utter possession of it as Cellinia repeats it breathlessly whenever they do part for air. There truly is no return from love, or from whatever love may disguise itself as to sneak past their quickly-crumbling walls.]


Oh, yeah?

[Yet no matter how incredulous Mai tries to sound, her eyes are bright and eager at hearing how hotly her lover repeats this spell of possession over her. Perhaps she only has herself to blame, for daring to suggest that she would want to be so thoroughly owned and kept by her handsome and dangerous wolf. If so, then why not happily take the blame? Why not bask in the glory of being so desired that Cellinia can hardly speak anything else? That voice in Mai's head might even dare to call herself pathetic, for feeling so elated that someone might want to claim her, and gladly so. Years of rejection and loathing and neglect have ruined her, and the wounds of these crimes are weeping with joy that she might actually be worthy of being needed so ardently. She doesn't care— let her be pathetic, let her drown in her own misery if it means that she can be reborn as something perfect, and for Cellinia's keeping.]

We'll see about that.

[Her heart practically slams against her ribcage, as if clamoring for Cellinia to hear how feverishly she wishes to belong to her, and only her, until the end of time. How awful, how terrible, that they can't simply melt into one another— it would be so easy for Cellinia to possess every last bit of her if they could. As it is now, Mai is only too painfully aware of how separate they are, where her own body ends and Cellinia's begins. Her thighs squeeze reflexively against the sides of her lover's waist, the nerves beneath her flesh aching when she feels those strong hands steadying upon them. She wouldn't mind, not in the slightest, to have even more pretty bruises there to admire later on. Because that's what it means, no? To be all hers
 ]

We'll see just how far you'll go for me.

[It scares her, in the best of ways, the thought of what Cellinia wouldn't do to keep Mai within her den, within her arms— no, her very heart. Much like the previous night, she finds her mind clouded with the dark ecstasy of imagining the price to be paid for this wolf to lay claim to the goddess she has chosen to dedicate this altar of devotion to. Slowly, slowly, the idea might grow on her, shedding the fear of what it might mean for Mai to give her that word. For now, though, she's content to use it as fuel to feed her own wicked urges.]

Kiss me— kiss me more. Kiss me like I'm yours.

[Likewise, Mai's own voice takes on a needy whine of its own as she makes her own plea. She pulls Cellinia closer against her, and she's nearly enveloped in the water first. The smile gracing her lips is uncaring of if they dip beneath the surface completely, together. Follow her, Cellinia, and she'll drag you to her depths. Kiss her, claim her, and she'll haunt your every second once she has drowned for your beastly greed. She has made her choice, and isn't it such a beautiful sight to behold?]

[Whether insatiable monster or merciful human, love shall take any form it pleases in order to burrow deeply into the hearts it has chosen for its shelter. It sneaks and slithers past even the most formidable of defenses, the most calloused of souls who would look this breathtaking emotion in the eyes and dare to call it anything but. What does Mai call this feeling, when she finds herself locked beneath the pitiless stare of the beast she has so boldly lured out with her provocations, the same beast she desires to claim as a lover? What is this sensation that seizes her in that moment right before their lips meet in a silent pact, right before they submit to these sanctified waters, together and nearly one? And when they at last descend beneath the surface, who is it that holds Mai fast against her body— is it the ever-devoted knight who would weep tears of love in exchange for a blessing, or the monster who will make her voracious demands of Mai until her fiery hunger is finally sated?

It is a question that lingers, unanswered, as her eyes flutter shut the second that Cellinia carefully urges them both beneath the water. The mild warmth envelops her, grazing her cheeks as it passes over her flesh. How pleasant, how primal, this feeling of warmth and security, where little else matters save for her singular lifeline. An unmatched heat grows between the their lips, in this kiss that robs them of breath but bestows upon them a rebirth they weren't certain they had deserved until now. And they deserve it, don't they— these lovers who would take one another to such depths without realizing how irreversibly it will claim them? There is no good in entertaining the old, worn images of themselves that they've carried with them for so long. Within this kiss in an invitation to unburden themselves of the ghosts that keep them from taking even a single step forward, together.

It's as if every terrible voice in Mai's mind is smothered completely with each passing moment that their lips claim one another's, that their tongues caress in slick, languid motions. Against the silence that devours them in this ritual of mutual devotion, she allows herself to be pulled even deeper into Cellinia's possession.

Mine, mine mine


Those are the only words that flood the vast emptiness that has long-since made itself home within Mai's being. Though they belong to Cellinia, who speaks her vows as gallantly as if she were always destined for the path of this corrupted knight, Mai feels this spell draw itself from her own weary heart, cleaved in two. These words might be the end of her, one day. They might be the reason she stares down death wearing a face unfamiliar to her nightmare-plagued mind. Right, when it appears before her, it will wear the most beautiful face while it casts these most beautiful words over her spellstruck soul.

Shall they surprise death itself by hastening towards an end of their own? The tepid water welcome these lovers as they forsake the very air they breathe in favor of a kiss that is more charged with life than any other manner of sustenance that might have kept their miserable lives going before they found one another. With this act, they can excise yet another part of themselves that cannot remain if this love is to bloom, and kill it themselves before death's outstretched hand can lay its icy claim.

If such audacity is a crime, then of course this is her punishment. And Mai has always deserved it, to be punished so soundly for everything that she is and everything that she has done. Everyone believes as much, anyway. It is the curse upon their lips at the mere sight of her, no matter how beautiful she might be, their keener eyes see something condemnable and lacking within her. And, beloved wolf— you see it, too, don't you? Though a different manner of lack, an emptiness only you can replenish through your own bloodied promises. You see something that they cannot, and never will. Yet before you carve out their faithless, loathsome eyes yourself, you may turn your welcomed judgment first upon this willful goddess— this liar of a girl whose biggest crime is believing that the beast she dares to tame is but a dream she fears awakening from.

So, dole out this punishment, Cellinia. Make her pay every last price she owes— for tormenting you to this point of breaking, and for lying so blatantly in her haughty words, while her lonely eyes betray the truth to your steadfast gaze. She wants to be yours, just as she wants you to be hers. Yet Mai knows, between a pitiful human and a proud beast, the scales shall always tip in favor of will— and if Cellinia truly wills it, Mai won't fathom fighting back.

How badly would she even have struggled against her passionate wolf, had she decided to keep them beneath the water's surface for a handful of seconds longer? She had always figured that she'd perish at the hands of a monster. This wouldn't be too terrible of an end, all things considered. But Cellinia decides to spare her, spare them both, and clutch to the possibility of further moments in each other's company. When Mai opens her eyes again, the sight before her looks more bright, more brilliant. Cellinia, who still holds her close, looks almost holy beneath the warm lighting. And how splendid her gasping sounds to Mai's ears— she sounds alive, marvelously so, the mouth that had nearly claimed her soul in their kiss now daring to claim her in words as she watches her beneath the rivulets of water streaming from her dark hair.

Likewise, Mai's own lungs smart at their reckless indulgence. Against Cellinia's lips, she laughs, the sounds broken and breathless as they mingle in with her own desperate gasping. Her mind is hazy and almost far away in a manner she doesn't quite mind, the near-dangerous lack of oxygen only adding to the mild delirium from their stint underwater.]


Mm-hmm


[Even this hum of agreement is made hoarse in her attempt to catch her breath, but what her voice cannot fully convey, her eyes are only too willing to make up for in their glimmering enthusiasm. Yes, she shall only belong to this greedy wolf, and she's more than fine with it. The exhilaration of living after flirting with a beautiful demise has her rather amenable to whatever her lover might demand of her.

Letting Cellinia bear the brunt of her weight in her ever-sturdy arms, Mai simply keeps herself latched onto her lover with her own arms draped around her neck. She combs her fingers through the strands of red-black, coaxing them neatly over Cellinia's shoulders as she does. Her own hair must look a right mess, but she doesn't have it in her to care all that much. Mai doesn't even bother to blink away the droplets of water that catch onto her dark eyelashes. Even Cellinia might be able to savor the sight of her goddess in such a state, cheeks flushed and body shaking as she steadies her breathing.]


A real monster would have ended me.

[Any cheekiness in her claim is muted heavily beneath the breathlessness with which she utters it. In fact, the way she looks up at Cellinia is almost appreciative, a good-natured teasing dancing beneath the sweet way in which she kisses the edges of her lips.]

I should be thankful, right?

[Mai murmurs against her skin, her tone making her seem almost pliant, eager to please. It's far from the demeanor she would have donned for those monsters back home, true monsters. Less put-on, and much less embittered. She wouldn't feel disgust with herself after, that much is for certain. For she is thankful, for a multitude of things that she probably shouldn't be, but there's no way out of the wolf's den, is there? One of her hands finds it's way palming over Cellinia's collar, her fingertips gliding down her sternum in a show of affection.]

Express my gratitude to you somehow
 right?

[Another laugh, less breathless this time, and her usual nerve pokes its way back in just a little. After all, a show of gratitude is something you would expect of your possession, right? Good manners, a brand of devotion all her own in exchange for the mercy shown here. Cellinia may be a monster, but she strikes a different kind of fear into Mai— the kind that dares not imagine this being their only moment together. Yes, a fear of love, this curious duality that mingles as easily as their own bodies do in one another's embrace.

And Mai knows all too well, that every exchange ought to be measured carefully for the debt to be repaid. Sins and punishment, prayers and blessings— let them be absolved of the desperation that lies beneath their union.]

[If Mai could drink in Cellinia's pretty offerings of affection to her heart's content, then her soul would never again feel the pang of thirst. Under the weight of this lovely deluge, she still has yet to find her footing, as if the tiniest of worrisome sparks softly cautions her against getting swept away in how easily Cellinia seems to make her promises. Anything that might feed the ever-hungry greediness that links them both can be Mai's, so long as she accepts what this worshiper sets at her altar. If this affair is to truly become anything worthwhile, anything lasting, Mai will have to get used to it— to saying 'yes', making her own decisions, and giving the final word that would write the story where her desires are made manifest, rather than languishing pathetically only in her fantasies.

Closing her eyes momentarily to Cellinia's brilliant beauty, and still awaiting her own breath to catch up with the pleas of her spinning mind, Mai does her own mulling over the choices laid out so temptingly in front of her. All of them are deliciously promising, the best use of their dwindling hours left together before this sojourn comes to a close. Moreover, they've made the smallest bit of progress, not letting another bathing endeavor go completely to waste— they've earned a bit of misbehaving, no? Perhaps this is Mai's troublemaking mind coaxing her to shoo away the more reasonable response of declining and demanding that they tidy up and go about their day. She could very well demur to the suggestion of getting delightfully messy again with Cellinia's relentless cooperation— but even a petty liar like Mai has her limits.]


Cellinia.

[Rather than a chastising flavor to her tone that she had intended, Mai breathes out her lover's name with an almost airy impatience, a soft groan following her utterance while she indulges in the kisses that Cellinia so slowly, so readily offers her. This wolf's hands are sweetly, frustratingly, at home upon the small of her back, and if they both get their way, these same ruinous hands will swiftly ensure that no part of Mai's body is foreign to them any longer, come the moment they finally bid each other farewell.]

Here I am, trying to repay you, and you already can't wait to get your hands on me again.

[Whatever is she to do with such a needy beast? The very same who had rescued her from death's kiss while desiring to bring her to a different kind of end— one delightfully dark enough to have even the reaper itself blush at how devastating Cellinia promises to be. She asks Mai what she wants, but surely she must relish the fact that she already knows exactly what that is. From Mai's own lips, perhaps in her own brand of earnest desperation, Cellinia wants to hear these cravings given life. That she would even plead for it with such a pretty whine coloring her words, her own portion of their exchange— she wants Mai to tell her, does she? She longs to hear that Mai wants to dedicate her own body for the art that Cellinia wishes to make, a masterpiece of the most wondrous and most curious of monsters that Mai has ever had in her grasp.

Of course, Mai as no intention of rolling over without lay her own claim— she wants to bury herself in her lover's ecstasy, feel her shudder again so prettily beneath her roaming hands, and bask in the music of Cellinia's pleasure, herself. Her wolf can't be the only one satisfying her greed, here, and love is best made when they've both been reduced to their most raw and vulnerable, not a single shred of affection concealed in their eyes brimming with relief at the very end.]


Careful with that generosity of yours.

[Leaving the rhythmic beating at Cellinia's chest, Mai's hand moves to give her ears a tender caress to soften the warning she teasingly gives. Her palm carefully smooths over the damp fur, not lingering for too long despite her growing penchant for lavishing them with attention. How cute they are, reactive for her— how many others enjoy taking such liberties with this wolf's body? Oh, that must be jealousy that swells and rolls over her. It's an utterly loathsome feeling, truly, for it rarely leads to Mai feeling as special as she imagines herself to be.

In this moment, though, with her knuckles now softly grazing Cellinia's cheekbone, Mai decides that her claim is just as good as anyone else's who might want to indulge in this handsome wolf's addicting devotion.]


I don't know what I'd do if someone else wants to take advantage of it.

[Perhaps her possessive streak isn't conveyed as poetically as her lover's is, but Mai makes it clear that the thought of anyone else enjoying the privileges that she's only just been introduced to is more than a little bothersome to her. But that should be a thrill of it's own, no? Knowing that her goddess is far from some aloof deity, uncaring where her devotee makes her prayers or to whom. Rather, there's a very human facet making its demands known: Mai shall undoubtedly be yours, Cellinia, only yours and no one else's. But through this ownership, you likewise relinquish yourself to her possession, and she'll not share even the smallest crumb of affection with any other hopeful.

Before she acquiesces to Cellinia's request, she takes her kisses and hums happily now that she's made her position clear. By now, she can tell that the water is becoming too cool for her enjoyment. Getting out seems a fine enough choice— they might not make it far, but Mai promises not to complain too much if where they'll end up isn't as comfortable as a freshly-made bed.]


Don't worry, I'll gladly tell you what I want— spoil me rotten with those kisses of yours, Cellinia. Wherever you want to leave them, I won't stop you. I'll even be as greedy as you need me to be.

[And with this deal they'll strike, the debt she owes to her benevolent monster will be repaid, will it not? Demand it of her, Cellinia. Demand this greed of Mai's, push her to the point where she doesn't know how to be anything other than insatiable when it comes to your touch, your ever-hungry lips, and your piercing eyes that shall never let her flee from you.]

And then I'll just keep asking for everything, until you've got nothing left to give.

[Never will Mai become a beast in her own right, not even her wildest dreams. The best she might ever be able to do is don its ravenous attributes like a luxurious piece of finery— though it would only be a mere pelt of a beast, if her lover could find it in herself to share. But if Cellinia would humor her, indulge her, then she can experience a greed that shall pick her bones clean, and feel the breathless sensations of being devoured with an earnestness unmatched by any other lover.]

[Oh, how she trembles eagerly at such mercy offered in this pact that Cellinia weaves for them with her words, a certainty in her voice that steeps this promise in a devotion that they've agreed to drink deeply— a covert poison or not. Indeed, a truly fitting vow, one that cuts down any dissenting voices to speak directly to Mai's greed. It speaks to the dark, frightened part of her that wants to claim and possess despite only knowing the pitiful role of an object to be bartered. It promises her a place at the zenith of desire, it tempts her with the treasure that is having this frighteningly perfect beast all to herself. Slowly but surely, it is beginning to dawn on Mai that this pinnacle is only reserved for those who can thoroughly divest themselves of whatever it is that makes them reasonable, that makes them human in this respect.

There it is, the shadow of that beautiful monster that reaches out to her, beckoning her to bury herself within its dark freedom— Mai can see it, creeping in the searing glint of Cellinia's eyes as they watch each other while trading these last kisses. Should she take its hand and follow it to that peak, how is she sure that she won't stumble and fall all the way to the bottom again? 'Don't restrain,' Cellinia demands her, as if she can see something that Mai doesn't— a place for her at the top, beside this gallant wolf. And even though Mai has only ever envisioned herself nestled in the cold, unfeeling earth, content to remain at the bottom rung for the rest of her sorry life, she feels the deep ache of being offered something she knows she has always wanted— for someone to take her with them, to hold onto her and never let her go, never let her stumble or fall, no matter how little she has to offer in return. She wanted to know what it was like to see the entire world from the top, too, even if she would never be strong enough to make it even halfway on her own.

Cellinia, that which you ask of Mai is so simple. It's clear enough, obvious enough that she knows exactly what she should do, and how she ought to do it. Though far from an expert when it comes to her new lover, she had already mapped out the places upon her body that she would most enjoy letting her greed run rampant. That part, at least, is easy enough, no? It isn't as though the act of fucking needs to be so overthought, something she thinks that Cellinia would agree with her on. So, what is it, then, that gives her momentary pause before she gives her answer? Beautiful wolf, she desires you, there isn't a single doubt about that— it is herself that she hesitates in the face of. She doesn't think that there's a place for her at the top, but if you believe in her, then that alone will urge her forward in making herself whole with the freedom you so generously hold out to her.]


I won't. I promise I won't hold back on you, Cellinia.

[It isn't necessarily a lie, but rather a half-truth that Mai feels compelled to delude herself into believing, if only until she is able to make it a reality with her own two hands. Her voice doesn't betray her, the tone and cadence every bit influenced by the trained confidence that has gotten her this far in life. Likewise, her own touch is firm in its resolve to give Cellinia every ounce of that greed that she demands for herself. There is only that split-second of self-doubt that flickers in her hazel gaze, snuffed away as soon as she flutters her lashes coyly to cement her own vow.

Continuing as they are in the cooling water is quickly becoming more and more bothersome. Despite how, normally, taking this adventure of theirs to the floor of the bathroom would lack the appeal of going somewhere more acceptable, their already-infamous patience (or lack thereof, really) is determined not to let them go any further than this. Perhaps this can be a task of sorts— a proof to their budding affection that they can make an altar of any place they desired so long as their appetite for one another fuels these vows exchanged, wordless or otherwise.

There isn't a lick of resistance when Cellinia takes Mai up in her arms, the ease with which she does so serving as a silent reminder that of course a beast who had easily promised to vanquish her lover's monsters isn't troubled by an act as simple as this. The cooled air against her wet skin doesn't bother her too terribly, not when the heat of Cellinia's body still permeates from their close contact, seeping deliciously into every space that only frays her patience even more. Once again, the two of them will make a beautiful ruin of each other's body before the last drop of water evaporates from their flesh.

Any towels kept around for normal use can still soak up the dripping bathwater, just in a manner more unorthodox than intended. Cellinia's bed shall be spared another ruinous romp, for now, with the tiled floor taking its place as the stage for their truly troublesome attraction to one another. Haphazardly, the fluffy fabric will be tossed about wherever they'll decide to indulge in each other yet again. Ah, sweet wolf, will you be able to enter these rooms again and not imagine the sinful pleasures you've enjoyed in each one with your pretty little prey? Not even Mai will be able to shake the memories of how shameless she'll have behaved when spurred on at the behest of her devoted lover.]
