Chapter 134: Rolling Thunder.
Thundertail's heart was bouncing harder and harder in her chest with every single step she took closer towards her room and her destiny.
Long had she awaited this very moment when she would finally have a pretty human over her very own to lavish her love and feelings upon and who would lavish their own on her in return.
As it turned out that pretty human was a handsome human boy called Andrew who she'd rescued from being buried alive under a tower that Seven had accidentally collapsed on top of him when teaching the vile raiders a lesson.
Now she had nursed him back to health and had made her claim to him, a claim which to her absolute joy he had accepted and promised to take care of her as she had done for him.
So that's where she was now, carrying her new human mate back to her nest to love him in the way that nature had intended for them and she was going to show him in no uncertain terms why he had made the very best choice in accepting her heart this day, she was going to show him that humans and Gatorclaws belonged together not apart.
Thundertail was however somewhat surprised to find that as she reached for the handle of her room door her hand was actually trembling, though whether it was down to nerves or excitement or a mixture of the two was up for debate at this very moment.
But upon taking a deep breath she summoned all the strength her scaley heart had within it and she gripped the handle tightly turning it while being extra careful not to accidentally tear the door off its hinges in her excitement, she'd done that once already and Seven had scolded her when he'd had to rebuild it and part of the wall.
As she ducked her head to step through the threshold she heard his wise words ringing in her brain as clearly as if Lucky Alpha Claw Visa's male was standing right there beside her speaking in her ear canal right at that very moment.
"Thundertail you need to learn to measure your strength, you need to remember just how strong you are," he'd said to her.
"Sorry Seven, me's was excited to go on hunt and to prove me's is good Claw like lucky Alpha Claw Visa," she'd replied while hanging her head in shame.
He sighed heavily and placed a wonderful hand on her big thigh patting it gently as he did.
"I know you were Thundertail but you have to learn to reign in that excitement and to control it so you can release it at the right moment or stuff like this is going to happen, now just imagine you found yourself a human to love and whom loves you and you hurt them by accident because of your vast difference in strength and size, they are not going to be as easy to fix or as forgiving as a door," he'd said.
Those words had really hit home with Thundertail and they'd scared her so badly that her scales had shaken at the mere thought of accidentally hurting her pretty human, or just as badly making them hate her because she'd accidentally hurt them.
So bad had been the shock and truth slap that Seven had delivered that Thundertail had to go and seek out Lucky Claw Vess to ask her advice on how to be gentle with a human when she was so much bigger and stronger than they.
Thankfully Lucky Claw Vess had been understanding of her concerns and fears and had taken her under wing to show her the ways of the gentle Claw.
Vess had asked her a simple question, "Would you treat a hatchling roughly or would you play with them using your full strength?" she'd said.
"No of course not! Hatchlings are fragile and sacred things! They's must be protected by entire pack at all costs no matter who they belong to as they really belong to entire pack and will make pack stronger and better when they grows into big strong Gatorclaws!" Thundertail had said proudly causing Vess to nodd her large horned head in approval.
"Exactly! And that's how you must treat your human as well, imagine they are a hatchling, use the same level of strength you would use with them, oh and remember you are a lot heavier than they are so when you are tempted to pin them to the bed, make sure you take your weight either in your knees or ankles, you can pin them easy enough without putting hardly any weight on them," Vess had said with a bit of a wicked smile on her face.
"Why's would me wants to pin them?" Thundertail had asked in confusion and what Vess had whispered in her ear had very nearly made Thundertail's scales fly off with all the vibrating they did.
"Pretty human will let me's do that to them!?" she'd exclaimed and Vess had grinned at her.
"Oh sweetscale if you do it to them right the first time then not only will they let you do it but they'll be begging you to, but you must always remember to treat them just right because what you have there is more valuable to our kind than anything else, you have one of the rare breed of humans willing to see us for who we are not just what we are, treat them like humans treat gold or caps," Lucky Claw Vess had said and Thundertail had nodded eagerly as her mind flooded with images that made her tail swish.
Now that she found herself with those beautiful and wonderful images within her grasp she found herself nervous and excited, she did wonder to herself how she was supposed to ask her handsome human for such things as lucky Claw Vess had never explained that part to her, only that such things were not just possible but were wonderful.
once inside the room Thundertail turned herself and closed the door, making sure that the lock was engaged as she did, she was not going to be welcoming visitors or interrupters willingly or happily today, this day was for her and her handsome human!
One thing Lucky Claw Vess had told her was to be careful when she kissed her handsome human as her mouth would most likely be bigger than their entire head let alone their face or mouth, so she would have to be patient, creative and most importantly gentle when she attempted it.
She had thankfully given her a couple of possible pointers of how such a thing could be achieved with such a size difference in play and Thundertail had taken meticulous mental notes to try and draw out the diagram of such an act in her head.
So now when she slowly reached up to remove Andrew from her shoulder she was already playing that diagram in her head of how this should go and how she should approach it.
As she brought him down and around to face her she could see the very same mixture of nervousness and excitement written across his handsome human features as well as painted in her exquisitely beautiful eyes.
"Be not afraid me's handsome one, me's would never hurt you's, you's iis Thundertail's greatest treasure and me's will treat you's like it," she said softly as she took a deep breath of his wonderful fresh and clean scent.
The pheromones that were positively leaking out of him fogged her brain and made her nervous system light up with a trillion little sparkles that seemed to bounce around inside her like someone had drop-kicked a nest of fireflies into her heart where it had burst setting them all loose within her.
Andrew smiled softly and that alone set Thundertail's heart blazing, she had to try so very hard not to bounce on the spot and smash her tail into the floorboards in her excitement and joy at his happiness.
"I'm not worried about that Thundertail, I've seen how gentle and caring you are first-hand, the way you cared for me and made me well proved to me what kind of person you are without any shadow of a doubt, no what worries me is how someone my size is supposed to please you and make you happy, I'm not a Gatorclaw and I'm not built like one, so how am I supposed to make you happy?" he said softly which caused Thundertail's heart to start doing loops before melting into a puddle.
"Oh handsome one you's already makes me's happy just by being you's, everything else we's can do together is just wonderful bonus, me's knows in me's heart that we's will find a way to love one another just right, just like lucky Alpha Claw and Seven or Lucky Claw Vess and Chris, theys finds a way to love each other just right and so will we's," she said softly leaning down to gently rub her long snout against his cheek and neck.
His delightfully soft and warm skin felt absolutely incredible against her cool scales and she absolutely relished the way she just seemed to glide over him like this, it was like the Great Pack in the sky had deliberately made humans soft and warm so that they would be incredibly appealing to Gatorclaws.
"I know Seven said the same thing but I do worry all the same, you took a chance on a nobody like me and I really want to prove to you that I am worth the efforts you have made for me, no-one in my entire life has shown me the care and respect and love that you have Thundertail, you've turned my entire world on its head in a single week and I want to do everything in my power to show you that I was worth all that effort," he said softly and with a flare of determination in his voice.
Thundertail couldn't keep the switch out of her tail this time, his words were just so beautiful that they seemed to actually compel her tail to motion and caused it to thump gently against the bed.
"Me's is sure that we's will find a way, infact me's is sure we's will find many many ways to show each other love, Andrew, it is like Lucky Claw Visa says, be patient and understanding while not being afraid," she said and he nodded brightening up into the most wonderful smile.
'Yeah you are right Thundertail, if we let our hearts guide us then I am sure nature and instinct will take care of the rest for us," he said and that was it, Thundertail couldn't hold out any longer, she simply had to taste him.
Slowly opening her jaws so that he could see all of her teeth she turned her large head sideways and moved it closer so that his face slipped in between them before she very gently and slowly closed them.
As soon as she felt his skin touch her teeth and lips she instantly stopped before extending her tongue a little to touch his face.
Doing this blind was a bit tricky but she was determined to make that dream diagram a reality, so she persevered and gently traced her tongue over his face searching for the entrance she craved.
