Kippis05's: Moments

--

A/N: This is the last story for this series, and I thank all of you who read and reviewed. Also, look for The Golden Mountain by Awerewolf, which should be coming out soon! It's a beautiful story about a friendship formed between two of the most unlikely people, and trust me when I say it is awesome! Awerewolf is new to the fanfic community, but you wouldn't be able to tell by her writing! So, as said before, look for her story, and if you should read it, be sure to help her out and leave a comment! K thnx, bai!

"Hmm, Viper could you hold up the chart again?" the insect crawled up his current patient's back, looking over their shoulder to see the DaVinci-esque drawing.

"Oh! Okay, thanks, Viper. You can go back to your room, now. I can handle it from here. Thanks again!" Mantis called after the green tree viper's retreating form.

"Are you sure you're up to this, Mantis?" his patient asked, posture remaining flawless.

"Yeah, sure. I'm always up to you, love," he replied, allowing a single, delicate claw to run down her back.

"Love you, too," she sighed, gasping as she felt a stealthy claw race up her spine, tiny tongue licking the back of her neck, working its way up to just behind her left ear, earning a stifled moan from the South China tiger.

"Stop it, Viper is right next door," she groaned, tilting her head into the sensation.

"But that's what makes it so fun, Tigress," Mantis teased, taking as much of the tip of her ear into his mouth as he could, two sets of hands playing with the edges of the trained ear.

Tigress growled lightly, but allowed her ear to be tinkered with as the needles that protruded from her body calmed her fiery attitude and sore muscles. While the insect grated on her naturally unstable nerves almost constantly, she really did love him, and he did have his occasional moments.

"You know, you really need to get laid."

This just wasn't one of them.
