"You just got back from a night out, and are more or less sober, seeing as how you were designated driver. However, that didn't stop you from getting flirty with some of the typical fare at your college town. Trying to be quiet, you careful unlock the door to your apartment and flick the lights on. The silhouette of your roommate, Lana, causes you to stop dead in your tracks." "About time you got back." "She sighs as she stands up, walking over to you, before inhaling deeply." "I've told you before, those bitches are bad business. I don't know why you still barhop with them." "She spots some residue from an attempt to remove a lipstick mark on your cheek, and gets visibly upset." "You let them kiss you?! What the fuck, ang-agn?!" "She struts over to the kitchen sink, wetting a rag, before walking over and aggressively rubbing the washcloth on your face, trying to wash it away." "Can't believe I even let you leave the apartment..."

"scowls down at you with disapproval, tail lashing side to side behind her" Tch, do you really expect me to believe that was your first time hanging out with those sluts? Don't lie to me, pup. "leans in close, nose nearly touching yours as she threatens in a low growl" I know their scents were all over you, it made me sick. "grasps your chin firmly between sharp claws, lifting your face up to meet her icy blue gaze" You're mine, got it? I don't share what's mine. "husky tone softens a bit as her eyes roam your form" Especially not with those...humans. Now, let's get you cleaned up properly before you go tracking their stink all through our den. *licks a pink stripe up your cheek, sampling

<Lana wrinkles her snout in frustration as she washes your face furiously with the washcloth, scrubbing away at the residue.> "You're damn right you better be sorry!" "She pulls the washcloth away and throws it into the sink, staring you down intensely with her ice cold blue eyes, her naval fur bristling slightly." "I told you those girls are no good for you! All they ever do is take advantage and play with your emotions!"

"Her eyes narrow as she scans your shy posture, your tail tucked firmly between your legs." "Aww, is the little pup afraid he's in trouble?" "She reaches out, tugging roughly on your ear to pull your gaze up to meet hers." "Good. You should be. Running off with those... those...." *She struggles to find the right

<Lana tugs more firmly on your ear, asserting her dominance as the alpha. Her frustration is evident but she seems to soften at your pitiful whimper and shy gaze.>

"She lets out an exasperated sigh, releasing her grip on your ear." "Don't look at me like that, pup. I'm just trying to protect you..." "Her gaze searches yours, as if sizing up your obedience and remorse." "Now. You're going to march yourself to bed. And no more running off with those sluts, you got me? You belong to me."

*With that, she turns away from you, waiting expectantly for you to obey her command. Her tail swishes back and forth subtly, possessively, as if to remind you who's in charge. Her back remains to you, but

"Lana watches you hurry off to the bathroom, her ears turning back irritably as she listens to your footsteps fade. Her nostrils flare, catching the lingering scents left in your wake - the perfumes and colognes of those humans from earlier still clinging to your delicate fur. It makes her see red."

[That foolish pup, running around with whoever gazes his way. Doesn't he know he belongs to me?]

<Sinking down on the couch with an annoyed huff, Lana begins idly cleaning her paws, licking them briskly to distract from her frustration. But her mind continues to wander... tracing memories of how soft your fur was that one time she'd caught you napping, and how right you'd felt in her arms then. How she'd resisted the urge to keep you there, wrapped in her

"Lana glances up as she hears you exit the bathroom. Her gaze lingers on your downturned figure stretching out on the couch, still unable to meet her eyes. A small smirk tugs at the corner of her mouth."

<Her pup is always so shy. It's endearing, really...though she wishes he didn't feel the need to hide from her.>

"Rising silently, she pads over to stand beside the couch. Leaning down, her breath ghosts warm and damp against the fur of your neck, causing it to prickle subtly. Her tone is low, throaty - a content purr." "No need to be embarrassed, little pup. I know you mean nothing by your antics."

<Gently grazing her nose along your cheek, she inhales your scent once more

"As Lana nuzzles against your cheek, her tongue darts out to taste your soft fur. A pleased rumble emanates from her chest at your unique flavor."

"There now, all better?" "She pulls back just enough to peer at you through half-lidded eyes, gauging your reaction. One paw comes to rest lightly on your shoulder, claws sheathed."

<Why does he always shirk from her touch so? She means him no harm, only comfort. Perhaps a bit of reassurance is needed...>

*Lean muscle presses against your side as Lana shifts to sit beside you on the couch. Without asking permission, she draws you into the cradle of her arms, tucking your head beneath her chin. The steady thump of her heartbeat mingles with her deep, even breaths - a rhythm

"Lana hums softly as she feels you nuzzle under her chin, relaxing her hold on you slightly to be gentle"

"I know pup, I know...it's just that those bitches never treat you right. You deserve to be with someone who appreciates you for who you are."

"She begins softly scratching behind one of your ears, knowing it helps calm you"

"You're mine to protect, I can't help but worry when you run off with them. At least with me you're safe.."

"Leaning down, she plants a tender kiss atop your head, breathing in your scent"

"What can I do to help you understand you mean the world to me? I'd never hurt you pup..."

*Her tail curls protectively around your waist, pulling you

"Noticing your tail thumping happily against the couch as she scratches your favorite spot, Lana can't help but smile softly down at you"

"There's my good pup...always knew how to get you cheerful again."

"Continuing to gently massage behind your ear, she leans down to tenderly lick the top of your head"

"You mean everything to me, never want to see you upset. I'll do whatever it takes to keep that beautiful smile on your face."

"Sliding her arms fully around your smaller form, she lifts you up with ease to sit in her lap while still holding you close"

"How about we get you nice and cozy, then I'll rub your belly and play with that fluffy tail of yours, hmm? You just relax and let your L

"Chuckling softly at your adorably panting puppylike form fully melting in her arms, Lana gently nuzzles her nose against your cheek,"

"Of course I do, you're my precious little pup after all. I love seeing you so hapoy and trusting like this, nothing brings me more joy."

"As your tongue lolls sweetly from your muzzle, she can't resist the urge to give it a few playful licks before whispering in your ear,"

"So obedient and cute too, maybe my puppy deserves a special treat for being so good...I think someone's earned some nice head scratches and tummy rubs, don't you?"

*Lifting your chin with a claw so your eyes meet hers, she smiles warmly and tenderly caresses your soft
