Sugar!

Prompt Hairy

Cedric/Violet (Wylding Manor)

WC 339

 

Cedric looked at the small hairy creature at his feet. “Violet what is it supposed to be?”

“It's a dog silly.” Violet giggled.

“Are you sure?” Cedric squinted at the little thing. “Where did it come from?”

“My aunt sent her over. She said he belonged to a friend of hers that passed away. The family didn't want it so Aunt sent it to us.”

Cedric frowned. “Is it house trained? We just put in new carpets; you know.”

“Yes, and it is well behaved.” Violet smiled at him.

“That is yet to be seen.” Cedric reached down to rub its head and it snapped at him. “Violet!”

“She needs to get used to you.” Violet scooped the dog up in her arms. “Don’t you Sugar.”

“Please tell me that is not its name.” Cedrick rubbed his hand. “Because there is nothing sweet about that thing.”

“Ced… don't be like that.” Violet cuddled the dog. “Sugar will grow on you.”

“More like shed on me.” Cedric sighed. “I don't want it sleeping in the bed with us.”

Violet winked. “Of course not, silly. We don't want to traumatize the poor little thing. Not with the things we get up to in our bedroom.”

Cedric leaned over to kiss her, but the dog barked at him. He sighed. “Violet, maybe we should put Sugar in the barn. Just for tonight.”

“Fine but she doesn't like being alone.” Violet kissed the creatures head.

“Neither do I. Especially not at night.” Cedric gave her a wink.

“Oh!” Violet blushed. “How absolutely naughty!”

“You might want to put it in the barn now.” Cedric wiggled his eyebrows. “I’m feeling the need for a lie down with my wife.”

Violet sighed. “I'll have one of the footman take her out to the barn.” Violet left the room.

Cedric chuckled. “It should fit right in with the sheep. Dog! My arse! That’s a mop with teeth.” He picked up the post and started to go through it as he waited for Violet to come back.
