slinkily
Moving with stealth
Slinkily describes movement that is smooth, sinuous, and suggestive—the manner of someone gliding with deliberate sensuality or stealth.
A cat moves slinkily through tall grass; a lounge singer crosses the stage slinkily in a sequined dress.
The word implies both grace and intention: She slinkily made her way across the room toward him.
