(Possible future F/F SMUT WARNING!)

It was the one time of the year that Ruby ever considered hating her wolf (apart from when she'd inadvertently eaten her first love) and what was worse was the fact that not only was she about to go into heat, but it would be her first since finding her true love.

Thankfully she'd finally managed to talk her Dorothy into spending a few days in Storybrooke with her. Ruby could distract herself with introducing Dorothy to Granny and teasing her girlfriend later over the country girls worries over Granny not approving of them. The elder wolf had been thrilled to learn that her granddaughter had finally found someplace she felt like she could belong and she didn't even seem the least bit upset when Ruby had told her that Dorothy was her true love.

Flashback/Memory

"She has your scent all over her Red and you have hers all over you. And I might be an old wolf, but I'm not that far gone to forget what that means…." Granny laughed warmly as she scratched Toto affectionately behind his ears while the other two women stared at her in stunned shock. "besides Snow already filled me in the night she came back to town."

End of Flashback/Memory

But then the distractions faded on just the second night of their visit and Red could feel her heat growing hotter the longer she and Dorothy were around each other. It also didn't help much that the full moon was closing in faster than it ever had so Ruby knew she was definitely fighting a losing battle between her animal lust and her want to keep from pushing Dorothy into anything she didn't want to do.

"What's wrong Red…" Dorothy asked roughly without opening her eyes as she slid herself closer to the watching wolf beside her on top of the sheets. Ruby bit her lip to suppress her pleading whimper when the movement caused Dorothy's borrowed sleep shirt to ride up exposing more of her muscled stomach to Ruby's hungry gaze. "Nothing..." the wolf girl answered her tone layered in denial and repressed need.

"Really Wolfie?" the country girl asked dully her tone mirroring the one she'd used the night they'd gone to the poppy fields. "So, I've just been feeling you staring twin holes into my head half the night over nothing?" Dorothy wondered sleepily finally opening her eyes while she rubbed the sleep from her eyes with the heel of her hand.

"If you're worried about the nightmares don't be," Dorothy whispered pushing a stray lock of hair behind Ruby's ear making her wolf shudder as she leaned her face into Dorothy's hand inhaling her enticing scent. "I can manage them now I know you're going to be here whenever I wake up." That earned the ghost of a smile as Ruby leaned in pressing a light kiss against her forehead. "Always." The wolf vowed against her ear as she nuzzled her face against Dorothy's collarbone.

"So, what is this nothing keeping you up?" the Oz hero questioned pressing a kiss against the top of Ruby's head as Dorothy pulled herself up, so her back was propped up against the headboard letting Ruby fold herself against her side instantly. "It's…. it's just a wolf thing." Red admitted dropping her eyes to the sheets while her hands played with Dorothy's fingers absently trying to suppress her animalistic hormones again.

"So, it's a wolf thing to watch someone else sleep?" Dorothy chuckled

"No…not really…" Red whispered while Dorothy noting the sharp breathily groan that followed her teasing question or that her true love was all but ripping the sheets apart as the human wolf twisted them tighter around herself.

"Ruby?" the country born hero pleaded grabbing Red's chin and pushing it up toward her forcing her stubborn wolf to look at her. "What's going on." She demanded meeting Ruby's unfocused gaze with a determined one of her own.

"Kansas please." Red groaned her already lust-crazed body heating up even more under the challenging glare she was now looking into. Dorothy shook her head defiantly her jaw flexing in annoyance which only turned Ruby on all the more as they stared each other down. "let go now before I lose it." Ruby begged squirming out of Dorothy's tightening grip.

"Now will you explain what in the name of Oz is wrong with you?" the tornado born hero questioned angrily giving in and letting her go grudgingly.

"What's wrong is that the wolf half of me is about one minute and seven seconds away from starting the second day of the most intense heat I've ever had in my life and all I can think about right now is chaining you to the bed and having lots of hot animalistic sex with you than marking you as mine so no other wolf or anyone for that matter can take you away from me." Ruby snarled back stunning her bed mate into silence as she absorbed the angry wolf's answer while Red kept talking.

"But I don't want to do that to you because 1 we are still learning about each other and I don't want to mess up what we have cause call me old fashioned but I wanted our first time to be something more than me jumping you and guilting and or begging you into bed with me just to make this damned wolf PMS heat thing go away," Dorothy managed a weak smile at her thoughtfulness but Red didn't stop talking to let her say anything.

"and two I still feel super guilty because my cursed self was by all accounts and in the nicest terms possible was on the sluttier side of promiscuous and from all our talks you've had as much practice as the Red half of me has had when it comes to relationships…little to nothing with the occasional stolen kiss when we were younger and before we ever met." Red stopped to take a deep breath in the middle of her rant to refill her oxygen while her eyes burned with angry tears as she held Dorothy's gaze.

"I never said you could guilt me into anything Wolfie." Dorothy laughed dryly ruffling her girlfriend's hair "I'm being serious." Red barked "So am I." the Kansas girl shot back meeting Ruby's angry glare with a challenging one of her own. "Nope you've had your say now it's my turn Wolfie." Her Kansas warned covering Red's mouth with her hand just for good measure when the wolf opened her mouth to say something more.

Dorothy's eyebrow raised when she felt Ruby's tongue lick at her palm. "don't try and be cute." She sighed rolling her eyes in annoyance while at the same time giving her wolf the ghost of a real smile when Red licked at her hand again this time with a more determined flick of her tongue.

"Now to answer your worries first the only way you'd be messing anything up is to keep trying to deal with this on your own or try and fight your wolf side and possibly make you sick,"

Ruby winced at the reminder while a major part of her lust hazed mind was still savoring the strong woodys corn field and dog fur mix of Dorothy's scent nearly overwhelming her while her true love continued to talk. "Second from the things you've told me about your…other self…you didn't remember anything about who you are, and it was way before we'd met…" Dorothy soothed running her free hand through Ruby's hair cupping her cheek tenderly. "Even if I will be needing a list of those people so I can at least punch them for having you first." Red's eyes widened at the unwavering tone and the burning jealousy deep in her gaze as Dorothy's eyes held the wolf's.

"And lastly…" Dorothy said then broke off dipping her head to try and hide her blush. "did you ever stop and think that maybe I want you to jump me so I can help make your 'damned wolf PMS heat thing' go away?" she asked her blush as deep red as her wolf's cloak as Dorothy's eyes flickered up to Red's.

"You can talk now Wolfie," Dorothy whispered lowering her hand from Ruby's mouth shakily. "Has anyone ever told you how sexy you are when you're jealous?" Ruby questioned seductively crawling up to the head of the bed pulling Dorothy tightly against her side needing her closer.

"Nope can't say that anyone ever has…." Dorothy laughed shaking her head "besides I just want them to know you're not available anymore." The Oz hero defended hugging herself against Ruby's stomach.

"Well sorry to disappoint but two of the main three people on that list aren't around anymore…" Dorothy looked up when Ruby's voice cracked as she nuzzled her face against her Dorothy's shoulder to keep her pain inside.

"and as far as I know Victor has been too obsessed with his work to think about dating much.…and the others well they remembered they already had someone else in their lives as soon as the first curse broke." The she-wolf continued dryly tracing her fingertips up and down Dorothy's back over her shirt.

"Victor?" Dorothy asked the jealousy layering her tone again remembering that Ruby had never mentioned any names of her relationships other than Peters whenever she'd talked about her life before she'd came to Oz. "Frankenstein." Red simplified while she cuddled closer to her side quietly enjoying the new turn on she found in making her true love jealous "well he was Dr. Whale back then but the still same guy." She shrugged as her fingers outlined the curve of Dorothy's shoulder blades against her shirt.

"As in thee Victor Frankenstein…like electrocuting dead bodies and trying to bring them back to life?" Dorothy clarified her eyes widening when her true love nodded in answer "Well the day after tomorrow you can introduce us and I can punch his jaw." The Kansas native growled, "Cause we're not leaving this room till then."

Red licked her lips hungrily as she dragged the other woman back down, so they were now face to face in bed "No one but me is sharing your bed ever again Wolfie." Dorothy told her darkly resting her hand over Ruby's heart feeling the wolf's pulse speed up against her hand through the fabric of her sleep shirt while Red herself was busy fighting back a moan at the dangerous lust filled look in her Kansas's eyes.

"But that if Toto gets scared during a thunderstorm or something and wants to come share the bed with us?" Ruby asked innocently "He can curl up against me while I curl up with you." Dorothy reasoned catching the other brunet's face between her hands then pulling her in closer for a long and building kiss.

Red growled against Dorothy's mouth barely hanging onto the last scraps of sanity she could find as she kissed her true love back just as passionately. Ruby let her hands slid down between them slipping them under Dorothy's shirt one hand finding a place against her stomach while the other snaked up her back to cup the back of her neck as their kiss deepened.

Just the feel of Dorothy's skin under her fingers was enough to send the wolf howling in Ruby's head and make her blood boil even hotter as they kept moving closer toward each other until they were as flush against each other as their clothes allowed. Their bodies were already moving so naturally together until they were just inches away from the heat the she-wolf knew would sate the crippling ache at the very core of who she was.

"The wolf's possessive," Red warned humming in content when Dorothy rested her free hand over the wolf's fast heart feeling the racing beat against her palm. "So am I." the farm girl answered, "I mean rough possessive not normal possessive." Ruby corrected. "I can handle rough possessive." Dorothy encouraged pillowing her head against Ruby's shoulder as her fingers traced down Red's arm letting the wolf press their mouths back together again.

"I trust you, Ruby." Dorothy panted when they finally broke the kiss. "I Trust You." She whispered again twisting a stray hair behind Red's ear still seeing the worry buried deep behind Ruby's golden green gaze even as they helped each other shed their clothes leaving them piled together beside the bed as they leaned in for a longer building kiss.

"We might break the bed," Ruby whispered tracing the shell of Dorothy's ear with her tongue. "Is that a promise or a challenge?" Red moaned when Dorothy's voice cracked.
