Tao smiled slowly, he let the sound of the groan reverberate through his chest. It was deep, and rumbled, but still, oh so pleasant. He put a hand under Riley's muzzle and lifted his head to look at him. "I think, I prefer the amber eyes, we'll have to see if you can keep them in your human form." He half muttered, picturing in his own mind how he'd do that, push to straddle that line of human and wolf, while enjoying the human form.
He let go of his face and got up again, moving behind him. His hand closed over the hard wooden handle of the horse hair whip. "Head down, keep still, little wolf." He whispered and in a smooth and practiced motion he brought the whip down, side to side along his back. Increasing the pressure as he went.
