The Freelancer sits in bed, reading a textbook and idly rubbing Gavin's back while he sprawls next to them, practically purring.  It had been a long day, but they were insistent about studying, so Gavin let them, and so far, he has only been minimally distracting.

But now his shirt is riding up, and they haven't understood the last few paragraphs.  They set the book aside, and he turns his head to look at them, eyes sleepy but interested.

"All done, my studious little deviant?"

"Maybe.  I don't know.  Can I try something?"

He smirks, but his face is smooshed against his arm, so the effect is more cute than sultry.

"What kind of something?"

"Can I...can I play with your tail?"  He blinks, pretends to mull it over.

"Sure.  I think that's about the only part of me you haven't played...with..."

He trails off, stricken by the sensation of their curious fingers on his tail.

They've touched it before--he's touched them with it--but mostly in passing, a tap or a brush, and never so close to the skin.  His eyes are wide, and he is, for once, at a loss for words.

The Freelancer is enchanted.  They're cautious but not hesitant, pressing firmly but gently along the length of his tail.  It feels a bit like a snake: warm and leathery and surprisingly muscular.  It narrows near the tip before blooming into the flattened spade he sometimes smacks them with, and thickens near the base where it blends seamlessly into his (increasingly) hot skin.

He's tensing in a way that by now they're very familiar with, and they decide to test a theory.  Biting back a laugh, they grip his tail near the base, and tug.

The shocked moan that punches out of him pulls the laugh out of them.  He looks back at them, feigning reproach, but the blush and grin (and the way his hips press into the mattress) gives it away.

"That good, huh?"

"That good.  Be a little rougher next time?"

Enjoy this sultry Vera pinup.

If looks could kill, people would drop like fies around her and it would good for business.

Well, I woke up five hours early and produced this, so
