Your Blood and Bones are Mine to Hold

Aliana hadn't been expecting Chimera to change his ways with her—in fact, she hadn't wanted it either. But he was quick to glare at her from her show of affection. Her ears fell, tail curling around her hips to submit to the giant brute. He warned her not to get the wrong idea—and then Ali found herself on her back again, staring up at the split-toned face of her former master and forever owner. For the briefest of moments, the clouded fae thought he might have his way with her again, and she was already mentally preparing to try and convince him he was too injured, but the mounting never came. Instead, the brutal behemoth stood over her, keeping her pinned to the ground with an impossible amount of strength and his weight. She gasped as she stared up at him with wide, fear-filled eyes, feeling his paw slide its way up her chest and over her slender throat until his digits rested around her windpipe, right between those delicate laces of her collar. Then the pressure came and her breathing stopped.

Ali tried to gasp, but the sound barely came out as a choked wheeze, the tiny fae fighting to suck in as much air into her lungs as she could while Chimera whispered into her ear, reminding her that she would never be free of him, that she was his until her death. Then he said her name again, his growling tones sending a shiver through her body that ended in heat between her thighs. She choked again when he pressed harder, tiny paws reaching up to grasp at his paw out of reflex, but doing nothing to try and push him away. Wide, frightened aqua eyes gazed up at the den ceiling just past his shoulder while he brushed those warm lips against her delicate ear, making the appendage flick in response. She tried to say his name, but all that came out was more feminine choking. More threats—no, promises—that he would have her however he wished, and again that heat flared inside her depths. Long legs kicked in the air, perhaps trying to find purchase on something to give her body leverage to find the oxygen her lungs ached for, or perhaps just to give him something to enjoy watching while she suffocated. Her tiny paws flexed over his massive one on her throat, silently pleading him for a breath while simultaneously never feeling as hot as she did right now.

Then, as quickly as it had begun, Chimera was letting her go. Aliana gasped and took a few coughing breaths as she swallowed lungfuls of relieving air. She didn't even notice when he had left the den, but once she had her breathing under control again, Chimera was gone. Ali stared where he had once been, breathing hard and quivering all over. Her heart was racing in her chest, a familiar anxiousness stirring within her from Chi's abrupt assault, but she'd also never felt so alive. She didn't know where he'd gone off to, but she knew where she was going. Silently, Aliana slipped out of the den and headed for the ocean to cool herself off with a quick dip in the sea. All the while, Chimera's voice lingered in her ears, and his presence invaded her every thought, pure and sinful alike.
