silkily
In satiny fashion
Silkily describes doing something in a smooth, soft manner suggestive of silk.
Most often it modifies speech—a voice that's deliberately smooth, perhaps seductively or manipulatively so: She spoke silkily, and he found himself agreeing before he'd thought it through.
Hair or fabric might move silkily, flowing without friction.
