The New Normal

Anger flashed through Chimera as Viper spat her coarse words at him. She was usually more respectful than that. The giant brute's mutely striped pelt bristled and his teeth flashed. Already in close proximity with Viper, Chi's hind paws pushed off of the sand and he slammed his massive body into the small woman. Never before had he shown such aggression towards her, so she shouldn't have been prepared for it. And now that his temper had been let loose, there was no holding it back until the flames of his ire died out like a house fire in the rain.

Chimera placed one paw upon the slender throat of the woman in the sand. He applied pressure, but not enough to crush her windpipe. The giant brute's lips peeled back from the rows of jagged teeth within his maw and he snapped them in Viper's face, his voice laced with snarling growls. "Do you want to see what happens to the slaves while you sleep safe and comfortable in the den that I dug for you?" Spittle flew and ropes of saliva stretched between the demon's jaws. Chimera's vision was shaking, as though there was an earthquake within his skull that wouldn't allow him to focus completely on the trapped woman.

Chimera released his hold on Viper's throat and with his other paw, flipped the woman onto her stomach. He expected her to fight, but he didn't care. Nothing mattered right now. Nothing except for teaching her a lesson. The paw that had once been on her throat now pressed her face into the sand of the beach. With no preparation on her part, no word of warning, Chimera mounted and slammed his hips home. As he did so, the beast curled his neck downward and sank his teeth into the side of Viper's neck and shoulder. He didn't spare her and he gave the small fae the same treatment that he'd given to Aliana and Dalila. Maybe even rougher. His giant body pummeled her small frame and his teeth stayed locked in her flesh, fresh blood filling his maw. The blood only served to heighten his rage and lust. He would not let Viper free until those urges were sated. Maybe then she'd learn to show some fucking appreciation.

--Must fade for stuff and things--

It didn't matter to him that the slave woman might be watching. It didn't matter that anyone might have been watching. Viper had been disrespectful and obstinate for too long. She had needed this lesson. He'd bitten her not once, but twice. Once on the side of her neck and shoulder, and again just behind her skull so that he could hold her still while he made her pay. When he was finished and they were able to part, the behemoth pried his teeth from her flesh and pushed her away with one paw, not caring how hard she fell into the sand. "That is what those slaves have been shielding you from. When you're ready to stop being so fucking moody, you know where I'll be." And without another word or another care, the massive brute, blood coating his maw, stalked back towards his den.

At the moment, Chimera didn't give a flying fuck about what he'd done to Viper. It was no different than he'd done to the two slave women. The only reason that he needed those fae's around was to spare Siren and Viper the brunt of his lust and rage. If she was too fucking stupid to realize that even after her lesson, then maybe he'd do it again. And again. Part of Chimera had loved treating Viper like a whore; like a slave. If she came crawling back to him, repentant and apologetic, he would forgive her though. They could go back to the way things were. They could hunt together, battle together, live together, sleep together. If she didn't come back... then things would get a whole lot worse for Aliana. Both options held their appeal.
