Summary:

Fiddleford stepped closer to the wall, head tilting, and reached out to touch the edge of a wide black collar — ran her thumb along the stitching, testing the quality of it with the focused patience she applied to machinery.

Ford watched her do this and her mouth went dry.

Work Text:

The drive took two hours, which Ford spent with her hands folded in her lap and her eyes fixed on the passenger window, watching the trees thin out into strip malls and gas stations and the low flat sprawl of a city that wasn't Gravity Falls.

Fiddleford drove with one hand on the wheel and the radio on low, country station, something Ford would normally complain about. She didn't.

"You're thinkin' so loud I can hear it from over here," Fiddleford said.

"I'm not thinking about anything."

"Mm-hm."

Ford turned further toward the window.

She had agreed to this. She wanted to be clear — internally, to herself — that she had agreed to this. Fiddleford hadn't pushed, hadn't even suggested, exactly. Had only left a browser tab open on the shared laptop three weeks ago, one of those shops with a clean minimalist website and very tasteful photography, and Ford had stared at it for six minutes before closing it without saying anything. And then the next day opened it again. And then a week later said, casually, very casually, there's a city two hours out, we could make a day of it, and Fiddleford had smiled at her coffee and said sure, sounds nice and that had been that.

So. She wanted to be clear that she had agreed to this.

The parking lot was ordinary. That was the first thing. Strip mall, nail salon on one side, a place that sold blinds on the other, pigeons. The shop itself had a black awning and small gold lettering and blacked-out windows, which Ford appreciated more than she expected to.

"Ready?" Fiddleford said.

"Yes," Ford said.

Fiddleford gave her a look.

"I'm ready," Ford said, firmer. "Let's go."

The inside smelled like leather and cedar and something faintly floral from a diffuser on the counter. It was warm, dim, lit amber from fixtures overhead, and there was music playing — low and unhurried, the kind that filled a room without drawing attention to itself. Two other people browsed near the front. Neither looked up.

Ford's hand found Fiddleford's without her making a conscious decision about it.

Fiddleford took it. Easy, natural, like it was already there waiting. She squeezed once and didn't say anything and started walking, and Ford followed, palm damp, grip too tight, past the glass display cases near the entrance with their careful arrangements of hardware and restraints, past a rack of things Ford kept her eyes off deliberately, all the way to the back wall.

The back wall was collars.

Ford stopped.

Dozens of them. Every width, every material — smooth patent leather, soft suede, braided rope, velvet in every shade. Every color from black to white to a deep arterial red. Some plain. Some with hardware. Some with delicate o-rings and some with charm attachments and some with the kind of substantial center-ring buckles that looked like they were made to hold something in place.

"Alright," Fiddleford said, releasing her hand.

The absence of it was immediate.

Fiddleford stepped closer to the wall, head tilting, and reached out to touch the edge of a wide black collar — ran her thumb along the stitching, testing the quality of it with the focused patience she applied to machinery.

Ford watched her do this and her mouth went dry.

"Fidds," Ford said, very quietly, glancing around.

"Hm?" Fiddleford glanced back at her over one shoulder. The look was calm, unhurried, a little fond. "Nobody who knows you, sweetheart. That's why we drove two hours."

Ford knew that. And still her heart was doing something unreasonable in her chest and her face was too warm and there was a woman not fifteen feet away lifting a collar in dusty rose from its hook, turning it in the light, completely absorbed in her own business, not looking at Ford at all.

Not looking. Nobody was looking.

Ford took a breath.

Fiddleford stepped back to her side. She didn't say anything — just set one hand low on Ford's back, just above the waistband, and rubbed a slow deliberate circle there. The heel of her palm.

Ford's shoulders dropped about an inch before she could stop them.

"There you are," Fiddleford said, soft and satisfied.

"I'm fine," Ford said.

"I know you are." Another circle, slow. Ford could feel it through her shirt. "Any preferences? On what you want?"

Ford looked at the wall.

She let herself actually look at it — let her eyes move across it without flinching away, without the embarrassment buzzing so loud she couldn't see past it. Velvet, rope, leather. Thin ones, wide ones, ones with hearts stamped into the surface and ones that were nothing but function. Her eyes dragged from left to right and then stopped.

A set of hunter green. Deep and clean, not jewel-bright, not muted — exactly the color that lived in the particular grey-green of Fiddleford's eyes, the color of lichen on stone, of the moss on the north side of the old oak behind the university library where they used to eat lunch nearly forty years ago. Ford knew this color from memory, had known it for most of her adult life.

"Not yellow," she said. Her voice came out lower than she intended. "Not blue." She paused. "Something green."

Fiddleford was quiet. The hand on her back stilled.

"Your color," Ford added, and immediately felt the full weight of what she'd said — how much of herself was in it — and straightened slightly, tried to recover the inch. "But you should choose. I want you to choose."

She heard Fiddleford breathe in.

Then Fiddleford's hand left her back and took her jaw instead — two fingers and a thumb, the grip certain and unhurried — and tipped her face down. Ford was taller by several inches, even now, even at this age, and it never stopped doing something to her, the way Fiddleford simply reached up and took hold of her like it cost nothing. Like it was obvious.

Fiddleford kissed her.

Slow. Certain. The way she did everything — without hurry, without the sense that there was anything else to get to. Ford's hand came up and closed around her wrist, not pulling her away, just holding, just needing somewhere to put itself.

The music played. The diffuser ran. Fifteen feet away, the woman in dusty rose moved on to the next display.

Fiddleford pulled back. She didn't release Ford's jaw — held it a moment longer, tilted down toward her, and looked at her with an expression Ford couldn't fully account for.

Then she let go. Patted Ford's cheek once, unhurried, and turned back to the wall.

"Green," she said. "Right."

She found it in under two minutes — of course she did. Deep hunter green, smooth leather, substantial without being heavy — not the flashy kind, not decorative, something with weight and intention to it. A single polished silver ring at the center. She lifted it from the hook and held it up against the amber light of the shop, and Ford looked at it, and something in her chest turned over very quietly, like a key in a lock that had been waiting.

Fiddleford looked at her over her shoulder. Checked her face. Whatever she found there seemed to satisfy her.

She reached below the display and took down the matching leash without breaking eye contact. Held both out to Ford — collar, leash, the combined weight of them, green leather and silver chain and the small specific gravity of what this meant.

Ford took them before she'd finished deciding to. Her hands closed around them. She could feel the texture of the leather, the cool links of the chain.

"Hold those," Fiddleford said, already turning. "Come on."

Ford followed. The collar was warm in her hands and the leash draped over her wrist and her face burning, and it was — it was fine.

The alcove was small and warmly lit and had a hand-lettered sign above the entrance that Ford didn't finish reading before Fiddleford's hand was at the small of her back, steering her in.

The space was maybe ten feet across. Tails on a peg rack along one wall — long ones, short ones, a few with hardware at the base that Ford's eyes skated past. A spinning display stand of ears in the center. She shifted the collar and leash to her left arm and held them against her side and focused on the middle distance.

Fiddleford didn't pause. She went straight for the ears and lifted a set of brown ones from the stand and held them up against Ford's hair without preamble, without asking, and Ford went very still and let her.

"Maybe forty years ago," Fiddleford said, to herself mostly, and replaced them.

Fiddleford tried ivory next. Held them up, made a small dissatisfied sound, put them back. She was close enough that Ford could feel the occasional brush of her knuckles against her temple as she worked.

Fiddleford reached past her to the far side of the stand, considering, and her arm brushed Ford's shoulder and Ford didn't move.

"What about—" Fiddleford started, lifting a silvery set.

"Whatever you want," Ford said.

Ford looked at her. Fiddleford was looking back, the silvery ears held loosely in one hand, forgotten. The look on her face was warm and a little amused and something else that lived underneath both of those things, something with more weight to it. Ford recognized it and her chest did something complicated in response.

She almost wanted to look away.

Something passed between them that didn't need words. Fiddleford was very good at those. Had always been very good at those — at reading the thing Ford wasn't saying and meeting it where it was, without making Ford say it.

"Okay," Fiddleford said. Gently. Like she was handling something that didn't need handling roughly. "Okay."

She lifted the silvery-grey ears and set them on Ford's head.

Ford went still — completely still, the way she used to in the field when something important was happening and she needed to not disturb it. Fiddleford adjusted the placement with two careful hands, fingers light in her hair, and Ford was aware of her own breathing, the weight of the ears, the collar against her forearm, the small warm radius of the alcove. The music from the main floor drifted in, unhurried.

Fiddleford stepped back an inch to look at her.

Ford did not ask how she looked. She found, distantly, that she already knew it didn't matter — or rather that it only mattered to Fiddleford, and Fiddleford's face had already answered it.

Fiddleford made a quiet satisfied sound and turned to the tail rack without comment. Found the match quickly. A few other things from the lower shelves — she crouched and looked, took a couple of items, and did not hold them up for Ford to see.

When Fiddleford straightened she glanced at Ford and then at the collar and leash still held against Ford's side.

"You've been holding those very carefully," she observed.

Ford said nothing.

Fiddleford smiled. She reached over and tucked a strand of Ford's hair back behind her ear, adjusting the placement of the ears slightly, and her thumb traced the line of Ford's jaw on the way back just briefly — barely there, not even a gesture, just a reminder.

Ford's jaw tightened. Her grip on the collar tightened with it.

"Alright," Fiddleford said, gathering her things and taking the ears off Ford's head. "Counter."

The woman at the counter was broad-shouldered and silver-haired, cropped close at the sides. Gauges in both ears. A tattoo that climbed up the left side of her neck — something botanical, Ford thought, vines or fronds, she didn't look long enough to be sure.

She started ringing up their items without looking up.

Ford set the collar and leash on the counter and then took a step back. Not behind Fiddleford exactly — just. Adjacent. Slightly rearward.

The woman scanned. Fiddleford set her items down one at a time. The scanner beeped. The music played. Someone near the front rack laughed softly at something.

Halfway through, the woman glanced up.

She took them in — both of them, a single easy sweep, the kind that had seen a lot and categorized quickly and didn't make a thing of any of it.

"Nice to see ladies your age coming in," she said. "Really is. Good for you."

Ford took a half-step further behind Fiddleford.

Fiddleford put her card on the counter. "Thank you, hon."

"Mm." The woman lifted the collar from the pile, scanned the tag, and set it back with faint approval. "Green's a good call. That's a nice piece."

"It is," Fiddleford said, easy as breathing. She reached back without looking — didn't turn, didn't break the transaction, just reached — and found Ford's arm. Patted it once, the heel of her palm, settled and certain. "It's her color, I think."

Ford stared at the back of Fiddleford's head. The silver hair pinned up at her nape, a few strands loose, the familiar curve of her neck. She was acutely aware that the woman behind the counter had glanced at her, brief and benign, and registered all of it without a flicker.

Her face was extremely hot. She didn't move.

"Suits her well," the woman said, to Fiddleford, folding the collar into tissue paper with a practiced hand. Then she looked at Ford directly. "You can relax, hon. Seen everything in here."

"She's a little shy," Fiddleford said, with a smile.

"Nothing wrong with shy." The woman finished bagging and set two neat black bags on the counter. She looked at Fiddleford. "You two together long?"

"Long time," Fiddleford said. She tucked her card away. "On and off. Mostly on, lately."

"Good." The woman nodded, satisfied. "That's how it should go."

Fiddleford picked up the bags and turned and held them out to Ford.

Ford took both of them, her face still hot.

She was still burning when they got back to the car.

Fiddleford opened the back door and took the bags from her without asking. Opened the passenger door for Ford, and she got in.

Ford didn't look at the dashboard. She didn't look at the sun visor or the crack in the windshield or any of the neutral middle-distance things she usually found when she needed somewhere to put her eyes. She looked at Fiddleford's seat. She waited.

The driver's side opened, and Fiddleford got in.

Ford was aware, distantly, that her face was doing something she couldn't entirely account for — open in a way she didn't usually allow in parking lots, or most places, or anywhere that wasn't the specific privacy of Fiddleford's presence. Her eyes felt too wide. She didn't fix it. She didn't particularly want to fix it.

Fiddleford reached over and cupped her face, thumb tracing her cheekbone once, and Ford leaned into it before she'd decided to. Just tipped her head, turned her face slightly into Fiddleford's palm, and stayed there.

"Good girl," Fiddleford said.

Ford's eyes dropped half-shut.

Fiddleford petted her hair — slow, unhurried, palm curved over the crown of her head, fingers combing through the grey. Ford followed the pressure of it like a plant following light, small unconscious adjustments, head tilting. She could hear her own breathing. It was slower than it had been in the shop.

After a while Fiddleford reached into the back seat and drew the green collar from the bag.

Ford's eyes opened. She watched Fiddleford hold it, both hands, the leather catching the flat afternoon light coming through the windshield.

"Yeah?" Fiddleford asked.

Ford nodded. It was a very immediate nod.

Fiddleford leaned over and looped it around her throat and buckled it and checked the fit — two fingers beneath the leather, certain and careful, feeling the space — and Ford swallowed once against it and held very still. Fiddleford's fingers rested there a moment. Right at her pulse.

Then she reached back into the bag and found the ears and settled them into Ford's hair, adjusting them with both hands, tilting her head to check the angle the way she checked everything she wanted to get right.

She sat back.

Ford looked at her. Collar at her throat. Ears in her hair. Eyes soft and a little glassy and waiting.

"Pretty girl," Fiddleford said.

Ford's breath hitched.

Then it came again, and again, shallow and quick, her shoulders curving forward and inward, hunching around something she couldn't name — not distress exactly, not pain, something more like the feeling of a pressure releasing that she didn't know was there until it wasn't. Her hands balled loosely in her lap. Her chin dipped toward her chest.

Fiddleford's hand came to Ford's back — broad and warm, rubbing slow circles, the same as the shop, the same as always — and Ford made a sound that she would, under any other circumstances, have been embarrassed by. Small and wanting and not quite a word.

"Aw, there she is," Fiddleford murmured. "That's my girl. Let it out, sweetheart."

Ford hunched further and made the sound again. Her breathing was still quick, still unsteady, but it was changing — the sharp edge coming off it, rounding out into something softer. Fiddleford's hand moved in its slow circuit and Ford's shoulders followed it, incrementally, degree by degree.

"You did so good in there," Fiddleford said, low and even. "So good. Held it together the whole time."

Ford whined, small and plaintive, muffled because her chin was still tipped down.

"Shhh," Fiddleford said, warm.

The hand on her back moved up to her nape. Cupped there, fingers spreading into her hair at the base of her skull, and Ford went loose. The last held tension drained out of her spine. Her breathing slowed. She was still hunched, still curled slightly inward, but it was softer now, less like collapse and more like rest.

Fiddleford petted her. Long slow strokes from her nape down between her shoulders and back up again. Ford made a small contented sound, barely there, and tipped her head just slightly into the pressure of it.

"There we go," Fiddleford said. "There's my sweet girl."

Ford blinked, slow. Her eyes were very soft. She turned her head incrementally toward Fiddleford and just — looked at her. Patient and hazy and present in the particular uncomplicated way she almost never was, the static of her own brain gone quiet for once.

Fiddleford looked back. Her thumb traced up behind Ford's ear, careful of the placement of the ears, and Ford's eyes drifted half-closed.

"Ready to go home?" Fiddleford asked.

Ford nodded, small and certain.

"Good girl." Fiddleford pressed a kiss to her temple, right at the edge of the ears. Sat back. Faced forward.

Ford turned toward the window. The collar sat warm at her throat. She lifted one hand and touched it — just briefly, just her fingertips.

Fiddleford started the car. Ford's hand found hers on the console, and Fiddleford turned her palm up without looking, and they drove home like that, through the thickening trees, Ford soft and content and occasionally making small quiet sounds that Fiddleford answered with a squeeze of her hand.

-

The mansion was empty. Fiddleford checked her phone at the door and nodded. "Gone 'til tomorrow."

Ford nodded.

Inside, the entryway light was on, which made the carpeted hallway dim and gold and very quiet. Fiddleford set the bags down by the door. She turned and looked at Ford.

"Upstairs," she said. "However you want to get there."

Ford understood what she was being offered. She held Fiddleford's eyes for a moment — there was something in her chest that was not quite embarrassment anymore, something closer to anticipation — and then, slowly, went to her knees on the carpet.

Fiddleford made a soft sound. She crouched down briefly and clipped the leash to Ford's collar and then straightened, and the leash went taut, and Ford followed.

At the top of the stairs, Fiddleford guided Ford down the hallway, past several doors, until they reached the one at the very end. She pushed it open with her foot, the hinges sighing softly. 

"Inside," she said, and Ford crawled across the threshold, into the sanctuary of Fiddleford's private space.

The wide bed was a mountain of pillows and blankets, the workbench against the wall was tidy, the shelves were packed with books and unfinished tech. Fiddleford closed the door, the lock clicking into place with a sound of finality. 

Fiddleford moved to the bed, sitting on the edge and patting the space beside her. "Come here, puppy," she said, her voice a gentle command. Ford crawled across the floor, the carpet soft under her knees, and stopped at Fiddleford's feet. Fiddleford leaned down, her hands cupping Ford's face, tilting it up. Ford's eyes were wide, bright with unshed tears, her jaw trembling. She looked overwhelmed, on the edge of something deep and consuming.

"Shhh," Fiddleford whispered, her thumb brushing away a tear that had escaped. "I've got you. You're safe here." She searched Ford's eyes. "Do you need to come down? To be grounded?"

Ford nodded, a quick, jerky movement. A small, broken sound escaped her throat. "Please."

"Good girl. Let me take care of you." Fiddleford's hands moved to the buttons of Ford's shirt, undoing them one by one with slow, deliberate care. She peeled the fabric back, revealing Ford's skin, pale and trembling. Her pants followed, slid down over her hips and legs, leaving her in just her collar and ears. Ford shivered, her arms wrapping around herself, her eyes fixed on Fiddleford's face.

Fiddleford shed her own clothes with the same unhurried grace, letting them fall to the floor in a soft heap. She climbed onto the bed, settling against the pillows at the headboard. She opened her arms, a silent, open invitation. "Come on, puppy. Let me hold you."

Ford scrambled up onto the bed, her movements clumsy with eagerness and need. She crawled into Fiddleford's embrace, pressing her face against Fiddleford's shoulder, her body curling into the warmth of Fiddleford's form. Fiddleford wrapped her arms around her, holding her close, one hand sliding up to cradle the back of Ford's head, the other rubbing slow, steady circles on her back.

"Good girl," Fiddleford murmured, her lips brushing Ford's hair. "You did so good today. You were so brave." Her fingers threaded through Ford's hair, massaging her scalp, her touch both soothing and possessive. Ford's body relaxed by degrees, the tension seeping out of her muscles, her breath evening out against Fiddleford's skin. She was sinking, falling deeper, where the world was simple and safe.

After a few minutes of quiet holding, Ford shifted, her face moving from Fiddleford's shoulder to the soft swell of her breast. She nuzzled against the warm skin, her lips parting, her tongue darting out to taste. Fiddleford's breath caught, her hand stilling in Ford's hair.

Ford began to mouth at Fiddleford's breast, her lips closing around one nipple, sucking gently at first, then with more fervor. Her eyes, heavy-lidded and adoring, looked up at Fiddleford.

Fiddleford's free hand came up to cup Ford's chin, her thumb stroking Ford's cheek. A soft, fond giggle escaped her. "Aw, is my good girl ready to play?" she cooed, her voice a warm, honeyed thing.

Ford whimpered, the sound vibrating against Fiddleford's nipple, a plea and an answer all in one. She sucked harder, her body pressing closer, her need palpable.

Fiddleford's giggle turned into a soft, knowing smile. She gently pulled Ford's head back, her fingers firm but kind in Ford's hair. "As much as I love that, puppy, we have something else to do first." She guided Ford off her breast, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "On your hands and knees for me, my good girl. Right here in the middle of the bed. I need to get you ready for your tail."

Ford's eyes lit up, a fresh wave of excitement washing over her. She scrambled back, moving to the center of the mattress, positioning herself on all fours, her back arched, her head lowered. She looked back at Fiddleford, her expression one of eager, trusting anticipation.

Fiddleford giggled again, the sound light and happy, filling the quiet room. She reached for the lube on the nightstand, her movements fluid and sure. "Such an eager puppy," she murmured, her voice full of affection. "Let's get you all set up."

Fiddleford’s fingers were slick and sure, pressing into Ford’s ass with a sudden, practiced efficiency that left no room for hesitation. The tail plug, cool and smooth, followed in the wake of her fingers, the pressure building in a sharp, insistent stretch. Ford gasped, a choked sound tearing from her throat, and her arms buckled, her chest dropping toward the mattress as her body arched instinctively against the intrusion. The sensation was overwhelming—a full, burning pressure that bloomed deep inside her, making her hips twitch and her breath hitch in a series of short, sharp pants.

“Good girl,” Fiddleford murmured, her voice a low, steady anchor in the storm of sensation. She twisted her wrist, seating the plug fully, the base settling snug against Ford’s skin, the furry tail swaying gently with the motion. Ford’s whine was high and continuous, a sound of pure, overwhelmed feeling, her eyes squeezing shut as tears beaded at the corners.

Before Ford could collapse fully, Fiddleford’s hand shot out, wrapping firmly around the leash attached to Ford’s collar. She gave it a sharp, controlled tug, pulling Ford’s head back until her neck was arched, her gaze forced upward. Ford’s eyes fluttered open, dazed and swimming, and a slow, delirious grin spread across her face. She looked utterly debauched, her lips swollen from earlier kissing, her cheeks flushed.

Fiddleford’s own smile was wicked, her eyes dark with affection and intent. She leaned close, her lips brushing the shell of Ford’s ear. “Does my puppy want a treat?” she whispered, the words a hot, teasing promise.

Ford’s nod was frantic, her grin widening, her body trembling with anticipation. Fiddleford released the leash and patted the mattress beside her. “On the floor, then. Carefully. I don’t want you hurting those pretty knees.”

Ford moved with a clumsy urgency, sliding off the bed and onto the plush carpet, her movements careful but eager. She settled on her knees, her hands resting on her thighs, the tail swaying behind her, her eyes fixed on Fiddleford with unwavering devotion. Fiddleford shifted to the edge of the bed, sitting with her legs parted, her body a vision of soft skin and quiet power. She reached out, her fingers tracing a line down Ford’s cheek.

Ford’s gaze was fixed, unblinking, on the soft, glistening space between Fiddleford’s thighs. The scent of her filled Ford’s senses, making her mouth water and her tail twitch with eager anticipation. She leaned forward slightly, her nostrils flaring, her whole being focused on that singular point of desire.

Fiddleford’s hand, still resting in Ford’s hair, gave a gentle, almost absentminded stroke. Her voice was a low, teasing murmur, laced with amusement. “Not yet, puppy…” she said, her fingers curling slightly, holding Ford in place. “You have to be a good girl and tell me how much you want it.”

Ford’s shoulders hunched immediately, a flush creeping up her neck to stain her cheeks. Her eyes darted away from Fiddleford’s pussy, down to the carpet, then back again, caught in a spiral of shyness and desperate want. The tail plug shifted inside her, a constant, grounding reminder, but the words stuck in her throat, tangled with embarrassment.

Fiddleford leaned down, her face close to Ford’s, her breath warm against her ear. “C’mon, pup,” she coaxed, her voice dropping to a soft, persuasive whisper. “Be a good girl for me. Tell me.”

Ford squeezed her eyes shut for a moment, her jaw working. Then, a sound escaped her—not a word, but a single, sharp bark. It was high and uncertain, a burst of nervous energy.

Fiddleford’s reaction was immediate and effusive. “Oh!” she cooed, her voice bright with delight. “Was that my puppy? What a brave girl!” Her hand resumed its stroking, more deliberate now, petting Ford’s hair in long, soothing lines. “Such a good bark. Again.”

The praise washed over Ford like a warm tide, dissolving the last of her hesitation. Her eyes opened, bright and clear, and a happy, eager sound bubbled up from her chest. She barked again, once, twice, a rapid series of happy, affirmative yips, her tail wagging furiously behind her, the furry appendage swaying with her excitement.

Fiddleford’s laughter was a soft, musical thing. “That’s it! That’s my good girl!” She petted Ford’s head vigorously, her touch full of affection and approval. “Such a happy puppy. You want it so badly, don’t you?”

Ford’s barks turned into a continuous, eager whine, her body vibrating with pent-up energy. She leaned forward again, her nose almost touching Fiddleford’s inner thigh, her breath hot and quick.

Fiddleford’s smile was slow and knowing. “Alright, puppy,” she whispered, her voice thick with her own arousal. “You’ve been such a good girl. You’ve earned your treat.”

With a deliberate, graceful motion, Fiddleford spread her legs wider, opening herself fully to Ford’s hungry gaze. Ford let out a low, reverent whine, her entire focus narrowing to that one, perfect offering.

The first touch of her tongue was tentative, a soft, exploratory lap from the base of Fiddleford’s slit to the top, tasting the salt and sweetness of her skin. Fiddleford’s breath hitched, her fingers threading through Ford’s hair. “That’s it, good girl,” she murmured, her voice a shaky whisper. “Just like that.”

Ford’s tongue worked in frantic, broad strokes, lapping and swirling, her lips sealing around Fiddleford’s clit to suckle with desperate, rhythmic pulls. The sound of her mouth working was wet and obscene, filling the quiet room, a counterpoint to Fiddleford’s soft, escalating gasps.

Ford’s hums of pleasure vibrated against Fiddleford’s most sensitive flesh, sending shockwaves of sensation up her spine. Her eyes, heavy-lidded and adoring, looked up from between Fiddleford’s thighs, meeting Fiddleford’s gaze. 

Fiddleford’s hips began to move, small, involuntary thrusts against Ford’s mouth, her body seeking more, deeper contact. “Yes, puppy, yes,” she breathed, her praise becoming a continuous stream. “You’re doing so well. So good for me. My perfect, hungry girl.”

Without conscious thought, Ford’s own hips began to rock, a slow, rhythmic motion against the plush carpet beneath her. The friction was maddening, a teasing counterpoint to the bliss centered on her mouth, and she chased it, her movements becoming more urgent, more desperate.

Fiddleford’s eyes, half-closed in pleasure, snapped open as she noticed the motion. She saw Ford’s body, trembling with effort and need, humping the ground in a mindless, instinctual rhythm, her focus split between pleasuring her and seeking her own release. A sharp, possessive thrill shot through Fiddleford. She tightened her grip on the leash and gave a sudden, sharp yank, pulling Ford’s head back just as she whistled, the sharp note cutting through the haze of sensation.

Ford’s mouth came away from Fiddleford’s pussy with a wet, popping sound, a high, frustrated whine tearing from her throat. Her hips stilled, but her body trembled with pent-up energy, her eyes wide and pleading, her breath coming in ragged pants.

“Ah-ah, puppy,” Fiddleford chided, her voice breathless but firm. “Look at you. Humping the ground like a desperate little thing.” She kept her grip on the leash, holding Ford’s head tilted back, forcing her to meet Fiddleford’s gaze. “You’re so eager, so hungry for it. But you need to focus on me. Only on me.”

Ford’s whine turned into a continuous, needy whimper, her body vibrating with frustration and desire. She pressed her forehead against Fiddleford’s thigh, her tongue darting out to lap weakly at the dampness there, unable to help herself.

Fiddleford’s breath hitched again, a sharp gasp escaping her as the sensation shot through her. “That’s it,” she murmured, her voice dropping to a husky, coaxing whisper. “Keep being good for me. Keep showing me how much you want it.” She resumed her praise, a steady, low stream of words that seemed to fuel Ford’s efforts. “My perfect puppy. So hungry for me. Such a good, obedient girl.”

Ford hummed against her clit, the vibration intense and focused, her mouth working with renewed, frantic dedication. She lapped and sucked, her tongue tracing tight circles around the sensitive nub, her lips forming a perfect seal, her entire world narrowed to the heat and salt and scent of Fiddleford under her mouth.

Fiddleford’s hips lifted off the bed, pressing into Ford’s face, her hands gripping the sheets until her knuckles turned white. A broken cry tore from her throat, her body arching sharply as her climax crashed through her. She pulsed against Ford’s mouth, her inner muscles clenching in waves of intense, shuddering pleasure, her fingers tightening in Ford’s hair as she rode out the orgasm, her voice gasping Ford’s name like a prayer, over and over.

Her fingers, still tangled in Ford’s hair, loosened their grip, smoothing down the strands in a tender, stroking motion. Her chest rose and fell in deep, satisfied breaths, her eyes fluttering open to look down at the woman still nestled between her thighs.

Ford’s mouth was still pressed against her, her tongue lapping softly, almost absently, at the wetness there, as if reluctant to break the connection. Fiddleford let out a soft, breathy laugh, her voice thick and warm with pleasure.

“Alright, alright,” she murmured, her fingers gently tugging Ford’s head back. “That’s enough for now.”

Ford let out a soft whine, her eyes heavy-lidded and dazed, her lips glistening. She looked up at Fiddleford, her expression one of pure, blissed-out devotion.

Fiddleford cupped Ford’s face in both hands, her thumbs stroking Ford’s flushed cheeks. “Silly girl,” she cooed, her voice a soft, affectionate chide. “You shouldn’t hump the floor like that. You should hump my leg like a good puppy.”

Ford’s eyes widened, a fresh wave of understanding and excitement washing over her. She let out a sharp, happy yip, her tail wagging furiously behind her, swaying with her enthusiasm.

Fiddleford shifted, “Go on, then,” she said, her voice a low, encouraging purr. “Show me how much you want it.”

Ford scrambled forward, her movements eager but careful, her hands braced on Fiddleford’s calf. She pressed her face against Fiddleford’s knee, nuzzling against the warm skin, then began to grind her pussy against it. The friction was immediate and intense, the pressure of the tail plug inside her amplifying every sensation. Her hips moved in a frantic, rhythmic motion, her breath coming in short, sharp gasps.

Fiddleford watched, her eyes dark with affection, her hands resting on Ford’s head, petting her hair in long, soothing strokes. “That’s it, good girl,” she murmured, her voice a steady stream of praise. “Just like that. Grind on my leg like the good, desperate puppy you are. Show me how much you want it.”

Ford’s movements became more urgent, her hips bucking against Fiddleford’s shin, her moans growing louder, more desperate. The pressure inside her built, coiling tight, the tail plug shifting with every thrust, sending waves of pleasure through her body. She could feel herself getting closer, the edge of her climax approaching like a storm on the horizon.

Fiddleford’s praise continued, a low, hypnotic mantra. “Good girl, good girl, such a good puppy. You’re doing so well. Let it go, baby. Let it all go for me.”

Ford’s body tensed, her back arching, her fingers digging into Fiddleford’s calf. A sharp, guttural bark tore from her throat, followed by a long, broken moan as her climax crashed through her. She shuddered violently against Fiddleford’s leg, her hips stuttering in their rhythm. She collapsed forward, her forehead resting against Fiddleford’s knee, her breath coming in ragged, shuddering gasps, her body trembling with the force of her release.

Fiddleford’s hands moved to cradle Ford’s head, holding her gently, her voice soft and soothing. “Good girl,” she whispered, her lips brushing Ford’s hair. “Such a good, brave puppy. You did so well.” She let Ford rest there for a long moment, the quiet of the room wrapping around them like a blanket, the only sounds their slowing heartbeats and the soft rustle of the sheets as Fiddleford shifted to pull Ford up into her arms.

Fiddleford’s voice was a soft, continuous murmur, a balm against the storm of sensation that had just passed. “Good girl,” she whispered, her lips brushing against Ford’s temple, then her cheek, then the shell of her ear. “My perfect, good girl. You were so good for me. So beautiful.”

Fiddleford settled them both against the pillows, arranging Ford’s body so that her head rested on Fiddleford’s shoulder, nestled perfectly against Fiddleford’s side. She pulled the blankets up over them, cocooning them in warmth.

Ford let out a soft, contented sigh, her breath evening out as she sank deeper into the haze. Her fingers curled loosely against Fiddleford’s skin, her body still thrumming with the faint echoes of pleasure, but the frantic energy had bled away, replaced by a profound, bone-deep relaxation.

Fiddleford’s hands moved in long, soothing strokes, tracing the line of Ford’s spine, petting her hair, her touch gentle and unhurried. She kept the leash, the ears, the tail—all of it—right where it belonged.

“You did so well,” Fiddleford murmured. “You were so good for me.” Her thumb brushed away a stray tear from Ford’s cheek. 

Ford’s eyes fluttered closed, her body relaxing fully into Fiddleford’s embrace. The soft, rhythmic sound of Fiddleford’s voice, the steady beat of her heart under Ford’s ear, the warmth of her skin—it all combined to pull Ford down into a deep, dreamless sleep, her mind blissfully empty, her heart full of devotion and love.

Fiddleford held her close, her own eyes heavy with contentment, her body relaxed and sated. She pressed a final, soft kiss to Ford’s forehead, her lips lingering for a long moment.
