I'm Convinced

The strength of snakes was truly disgusting. With a squeeze of its midsection, Merrick and Relm were slammed together, the man grunting as the loops of muscle tightened around his stomach. Pressed so close to the cloaked woman, it would be difficult to get a mouthful of snake. Unless he bit the loop that was around Relms middle, that was.

Merrick sank his teeth into the dark, patchy scales that were around Relm's midsection. It hurt the snake and he could feel the muscles tighten around him, squishing him and the woman more tightly together. Then, out of nowhere, there was the snakes head. It had curled around and it struck at Merrick, sinking its razorlike teeth into one of his forelegs. The man gave a second grunt, lips peeling back in a snarl, yet he didn't release his hold on the snake. Instead, he whipped his head back and forth, tearing a great chunk out of the reptile and exposing bone. He spat the mouth of meat and muscle onto the ground and went in for another bite, intent on biting all the way down to the guts.
