It just a fleeting glance up from the newly disassembled crossbow she had laid out on top of the sheets when she hears the protesting whine of the door hinges, but it was enough of a look to know something was wrong.
"Want some help working out that tension?" Dorothy hadn't meant for her question to sound so needy even to her own ears but in her defense, she hadn't seen her wolf since dawn that morning.
She had been summoned by the Council, so they could see for themselves that she was at the very least physically alright after waking from the sleeping curse and, so they could discuss the current safety of and possible dangers threatening Oz now Zelena was gone again. A discussion that had turned into a full day talking over every little detail about different ideas that had only ended when the others stopped arguing long enough to notice the darkness setting in around them.
"I've had worse," Ruby answered shyly rubbing her hand over her stiff muscled shoulders but the underlying tone of her voice gives her away. "Besides it was the least I could do to help them out after they took such good care of my girl," she added draping her cloak over the back of the closest chair and kicked off her boots. "I still can't believe they don't actually sing as much as they seem to in the movie." she sighed stripping gingerly out of her corset with one hand.
The werewolf had spent their time apart but helping the Munchkins with rebuilding shops that hadn't been gotten to because of harsh Oz weather or since Zelena's last attack or helping in the fields with watering, planting and harvesting town crops for the farmers. Anything to both take her mind off missing her true love for a while and to show just how grateful she was to the people that had become something of Dorothy's second family.
Dorothy couldn't help the grin spreading across her lips still absently cleaning the random weapon part in her hand at the same time. "Then call me over cautious." she offered too as she lowered the triggering guard back into place. "cause even with Zelena back in that Storybrooke town of yours I don't like the idea of you running around on only three good legs in those woods next full moon," Dorothy ended with an over exaggerated shudder while she finished putting her compact weapon back together again.
"I am learning my way around you know." Ruby sighed hissing painfully when her next move pulled at her shoulder, "I thought Council pendants were meant to be white." the part-time waitress mused while Dorothy swung her legs over the side of their bed stretching out the mild kink in her back while she stood up. Dorothy's teasing answer stops halfway out of her mouth as she looks down following Red's eyes to the gem still hanging around her neck.
"Well, I never have been one for following the rules." Dorothy shrugged looping her arms around her girlfriend's waist while she pulled Red's mouth to hers in a hungry greeting kiss. Ruby hummed low in agreement toying with the cuprite red stone absently while nuzzling her forehead with Dorothy's. "Another reason of why we're so right for each other." her words ended in a groan when Dorothy's probing fingers pressed down on one of the more the tender areas of her sore shoulder.
"Shirt off, on your stomach." the Oz hero ordered gently pushing her lover back until the back of her legs hit the bed. "Go on." Dorothy prompted leaning in for another encouraging kiss when all Ruby did was drop down to sit on the edge of the bed with a hurtful pouting expression.
"It's not nice to tease like that Kansas." Red whispered pulling her shirt over her head letting it pool on the floor beside the bed.
"Put the pout away Wolfie." Dorothy sighed climbing up onto the bed behind her. "I wasn't teasing I really do want to help you work out that tension," she promised pressing feather-light kisses to the base of Ruby's neck then trailed more all along smooth skin of Red's shoulders.
"You really wouldn't mind?" Red asked trying to work out the tension herself while she let Dorothy pull her back up onto the bed properly noticing with a groan that Dorothy had added her own shirt to the floor but a quick glance behind her told her that the Ozein hero upper body was still clad in one of her tank tops.
"Well, seeing as I still owe you for saving me from that sleeping curse…" Dorothy mused brushing some stray strands of Red's hair back behind her ear. "I think the lest I can do is give you a massage." she teased gently kneading the sore muscles of her wolf's shoulders while pressing little kisses to the back of her neck again. "You know that tensing up only makes this a longer session, right?" she pointed out noticing how stiff Red's posture was while she settled in behind her.
"Maybe that's what I'm going for." Ruby hummed groaning low in appreciation while her lover's hands gently worked on soothing out her sore muscles.
"You know if someone walked by right now they'd think we were up to completely different activities." Dorothy mused upping the pressure on her movements when she reached a particularly tender spot following the curve of her shoulder blade earning a loud moaning grunt of pleasure from her lover. "It's the middle of the night I think I'll take my chances right now." Red purred arching back against Dorothy's touch again. "I'll have to stop if you keep moving like that." Dorothy sighed moving up the bed carefully when the human she-wolf rocked forward to lay herself out on top of the sheets giving the other woman full access to her upper back.
"Don't stop," Red begged in a pleading whine at the feeling of Dorothy's knees pressing against either side of her hips bracing the other woman over her. "Wasn't planning to," Dorothy promised rocking forward to press her lips against the dip of her shoulder. "Fuck Kansas," Red grunted lustily when she felt her warrior's teeth scraping against her heating skin as Dorothy pressed sucking and claiming kisses all down her spine.
"We can't right now Wolfie we're still in clothes." Dorothy pointed out tracing the shell of the she wolf's ear with her tongue "and I'm still working out your stress for you." she winked when Red craned her head back over her shoulder to meet Dorothy's teasing gaze just as the farm girl turned warrior's thumbs dug hard against the knot of tensed nerves at the base of Red's spin earning another deep moan that Red tried to muffle against the bunched up covers under her.
"So vocal Red. Makes me think this was the first time you've done this." Dorothy joked resting her weight on her knees as she sat back over the werewolf's legs. "Or is it cause my pretty wolf is getting turned on by this little session?" she guessed noticing the shudder that raced down Red's back at the dark growl of her voice at the question.
"Well if it's going to be that kind of party then we'd better fix the clothes bit quickly." Ruby hummed pushing herself up, so she was braced on her arms then pushed up and twisted herself around, so she was now on her back under her lover. "Humm you know I love it when my Wolfie does tricks." Dorothy laughed stroking her hands up and down Ruby's stomach tracing her flexing muscles with gentle fingers.
"You could get to see a few more before the days out." Red smiled pulling her lover toward her by her necklace "But only when I know I get treats for doing them." She added licking at Dorothy's lips before her tornado hero closed the distance separating her mouth from Red's only after letting the wolf toss her tank top and pants onto the floor beside her own forgotten clothes.
"I'm sure I can think of something to cox them out of you," Dorothy promised snaking her arms back around Ruby's neck as her back hit the mattress holding the wolf over her. "I look forward to it." Red breathed her breath hot against Dorothy's ear while their bodies aligned themselves together under the covers Dorothy had managed to pull over them.
