something i must live with

All of it was worth the expression that crossed Dalila’s features as she spoke the words she craved since asking to take her from Chimera. Followed by the grin that mirrored her own… Siren hadn’t ever seen a smile like that on the painted woman’s features and the young Klein princess cherished the moment. ”I am.” Dalila agreed quietly and Siren savored the gentle vow she spoke, now and always. Siren felt the tears touch at the corner of her eyes again but now for a much different reason. The girl never had anyone beyond Chimera. Her father left early in her childhood and her mother was distant after that. All she had was Chi, but he couldn’t be with her at all hours. He had duties and Viper…

Siren easily settled into Dalila’s arms, she was every much the unflinching warrior Siren had seen in the slaver camp in her mind. Her arms were strong and would protect her from all that sought to hurt her, physically but more so emotionally. She wasn’t given much time to dwell as Dalila took the lead from her. Siren gave up control to her easily as she was loft to Dalila’s back. She’d relieve the last bits of pressure from her paws and keep her from having to walk back to their den. Already more emotional than she thought she had ever been she blinked back the tears that threatened to fall. All of this really was worth the effort and the guilt. Dalila was hers, and though she wouldn’t dare say it, Siren wanted to belong to Dalila.

She didn’t feel like she deserved this special treatment but she put up no reservations as Dalila carried her home. Dalila put her in bed with care, like she was some prize to be tucked away in her box. It was a strange feeling, especially considering that Dalila did this for her every day. Every action seemed more purposeful and special than even the morning before. With a small smile Dalila promised she would make her return, and disappeared beyond the threshold.

Siren made herself comfortable, her tiny form lounged languidly on the luxurious bed that Chimera provided for her. No matter how much she loved and adored Dalila, Chimera would forever be a King above her. She was reminded of that fact when he had chastised her for wanting Dalila. Siren tried to banish him from her mind along with what he would be doing to the poor slave girl she gave to him.

Dalila returned in a moment and positioned herself at Siren’s paws with a bit of lavender oil. The tiny princess breathed in deeply as the woman massaged the substance into her pink pads. A heavy sigh left her pale lips and she lowered her head to her arms, her dual toned eyes lingering on Dalila’s features as she worked efficiently. She knew Siren better than anyone, and handled her paws with great experience and care. As she did with anything pertaining to Siren.

A question fell from her lips as pretty blue eyes looked up to her bashfully. Siren couldn’t help the little blush that spread over her features as Dalila looked up to her. That and the nervous fluttering in her belly intensified, but she wasn’t sure she was ready to address those feelings yet. ”Yes, I would.” Siren answered softly, but it was obvious too how much she enjoyed the attention to her paws.
