Howl

Candles lit. Red wine ready. Lasagna in the oven, bubbling away. Vivian checked off all the boxes on her mental to-do list. Luna would be here any minute, and she wanted everything to be perfect.

Vivian paced the floor, peeked at their dinner through the oven door - damn it, she should've cleaned that! - and then there was a knock at the door. She raced to it, heart pounding, and opened the door to find

her.

Silver hair, glowing blue eyes, and ruby lips over pearly white, razor-sharp teeth. Vivian stared for a moment, spellbound, but Luna's smile fell and she withdrew.

"The werewolf curse is gone. I promise," she said. "But some things didn't go away."

"I think they suit you. Come in."

Luna stepped inside, admiring Vivian's apartment as she peeled off her gloves. "I don't think I ever got a chance to see your place. It's lovely."

"Thank you, love." Vivian helped Luna out of her coat as she slipped off her shoes. She was relieved to see that Luna was without her fur and claws. Instead, her fair skin and short, manicured black nails made a return.

"Oh, what are you making? It smells so good."

"Lasagna. Old family recipe. I'm sure you're hungry after that trip."

"You have no

idea!

" Luna moved to the kitchen, bending down to look through the oven door. Vivian mentally kicked herself again, but another look at Luna stopped those thoughts. In spite of the cold she wore a short, tight black dress with striped stockings. And at the angle Luna bent down, Vivian could just see where the tops of her stockings met her pale skin.

Luna glanced sideways at Vivian, knowing

exactly

what she was looking at, and smirked. "It looks delicious."

And so do you.

But Vivian bit her tongue.

"So, how much longer?"

"About an hour. It just went in the oven."

"Good." Luna rushed back to Vivian and pulled her into a long, deep kiss. Vivian being a head taller, Luna had to stand on her toes and throw her arms around Vivian's neck to reach.

Vivian's hand slid down to Luna's hips and pulled her closer. Their lips and tongue explored each other for what felt like an eternity, and their reunion finally felt real.

Luna took Vivian's hand and pulled her away from the oven. "Now, show me your bedroom."

Vivian chuckled. "Yes, ma'am." She led Luna down the hall, opened the door at the end, and turned on a singular dimmed light. At the center was a large white canopy bed with a white faux fur blanket on top. Luna had her dark, vintage aesthetic, but Vivian liked things white and modern. They would make for interesting interior design choices if they shared living space in the future.

"Mmm. Love what you've done with the place." But Luna wasn't looking at the room. Her lips made their way to Vivian's neck as she again had to stand on her toes. Her hands fumbled with the buttons on Vivian's shirt.

Vivian moaned. "Can you still smell how much I want you?"

"I don't need werewolf senses to know that." Luna undid the last button and pulled the shirt off. "Now get on the bed."

Vivian complied, sitting on the edge of the bed with a grin. "Why, Luna. What big demands you have."

"If you make one more Big Bad Wolf joke, I swear to God I'll leave."

"Sorry, babe." Vivian's smile faded. She opened her legs and beckoned Luna over. "Let me make it up to you?"

Luna made a show of thinking about it. Then she smirked and joined Vivian on the edge of the bed, straddling her.

Vivian immediately pulled Luna into a deep kiss, her hands sliding up Luna's short dress to reach her hips. She let out a low groan as her lips traveled to Luna's neck. She let her tongue graze her soft skin, and Luna shivered in her lap.

Luna reached behind her and undid the button on her dress. Vivian pulled it off of her and leaned back to take in the sight. She wore no bra, only lacy black panties and a garter belt holding up her striped stockings. Rosy pink nipples, adorned with silver studs, poked out from behind her silvery hair. Vivian traced her fingers up Luna's creamy, silky skin. Luna shivered, a low growl coming from her throat.

"Luna. My darling," Vivian purred. "Have I ever told you how

fucking

breathtaking you are?"

"Mmmh. You could say it some more."

Vivian cupped Luna's left breast in her hand, Her mouth moved to Luna's right. Luna let out another soft growl as Vivian's tongue swirled around her nipple. Her hips bucked and Vivian felt her dampness against her skin.

After a few more seconds of this, Luna grabbed Vivian's short blond hair and pulled her back. "So you're just going to tease me all night?"

"I'd be happy to do more. But you've got to do something for me first."

Luna looked down at her lover - no shirt, a silky white bra, and navel ring. The buttons on her pants were undone, revealing no underwear and a hint of soft blond hair.

"I want you to undress me with your teeth," Vivian told her.

Luna responded with a feral grin. Her canines shone in the dim light. "I can't promise you'll be able to wear them again when I'm done with you."

Vivian shivered with anticipation. "

Do it.

"

Luna stayed true to her warning. Vivian lost a bra strap and the button on her pants. No matter. Before long Luna had Vivian pinned down on the bed, growling as she explored her flesh.

Vivian felt goosebumps spreading throughout her body. Luna's teeth grazed her most sensitive spots, from her neck to her breasts and trailing further down. She yelped when Luna bit into her skin just beside her navel. Luna growled in satisfaction.

"What was that for?"

"I'm reclaiming my territory!"

"You never lost it, love." Vivian chuckled. "Just be gentle once you get further down."

But while Luna didn't use her teeth once she finally got between Vivian's legs, her technique could hardly be described as

gentle

. Not that Vivian was complaining. After months without, she welcomed the assault by Luna's tongue and lips. She groaned and thrashed on the bed as Luna held her down with surprising strength. As her climax approached, Vivian grabbed a pillow to muffle her screams. But whether she screamed from the waves of ecstasy or from Luna's grip on her thighs, Vivian couldn't say.

When Luna withdrew from her spot between her lover's legs, Vivian was still trembling. She straddled Vivian's waist with a satisfied smile. "Had fun?"

"

Fuck

, I missed you."

"

You

missed me?" Luna laughed as she slipped off her panties. "Imagine trying to pleasure yourself with paws for hands."

She leaned forward and kissed Vivian deeply. Vivian tasted herself on Luna's lips and she enthusiastically returned. Their kiss was slow and passionate - for Luna, almost agonizingly slow, and she rocked her hips against Vivian's stomach, leaving behind a wet trail.

Finally, Luna could take no more. She moved up until her thighs framed Vivian's flushed, waiting face. She was nearly dripping by now, and her lover needed no further instructions.

Vivian dove in, catching Luna's pearl between her lips. Luna gasped and help Vivian's head in place with both hands. Her vision blurred as Vivian teased her most sensitive spot with slow, tender kisses.

Vivian's face became thoroughly soaked from Luna. Through clenched thighs she vaguely heard Luna moan and plead for more. So Vivian dug her fingers into Luna's hips and kissed her with a deeper intensity. It was the sweetest, most decadent dessert she'd had in ages.

Luna moaned louder. Her hips bucked and legs shook. Finally she reached her own climax and the room shook with a loud, resonant howl.

It surprised both of them. Luna quickly covered her mouth, her eyes wide. Vivian took a moment to catch her breath before she let out a short laugh.

"I've met screamers before, but you've got to be my first howler."

"I didn't know I still had that in me!" Luna flushed pink. "You think your neighbors heard?"

"Almost certainly."

They were silent for a moment before they both burst into laughter. They laughed for a good while until Luna's stomach interrupted with a low grumble. Almost on cue, the oven timer sounded from down the hall.

"I guess you'll need more than sex to fill you up," Vivian said. She sat up and extended a hand to Luna. "Come. I'll clean you up before dinner."
