Speed Racer by Her’s

Absinth's pulse quickened with the thrill of battle, her senses overwhelmed by the metallic tang of her own blood and the rush of adrenaline surging through her veins. She craved more. More action. More intensity. This was exactly what she had needed. An outlet for all her restraint. Despite the pain of his spurs digging into her flesh, she suppressed the pain, focusing solely on her next move. It was easy, for she was no stranger to agony. Her blade found its mark within his scruff and she spared no brutality in her execution of the slice, drawing blood in retaliation. A lack of gentleness that she knew would please him.

Dodging his advance with fluid grace, Absinth manipulated her lithe body to strike back. Her blade poised for a calculated blow that would surely cut deep – but her attack was thwarted by a bone spur jabbing from his rear leg towards her shoulder. What could she do? In a swift movement, she attempted to deflect it with her knife, though it forced her to momentarily halt her assault as she braced to absorb his otherworldly strength. But in doing so, a new consequence appeared. A wickedly delightful one. The brute's warm breath brushed against her charcoal ear, speaking taunting words that sent a shiver down her spine, and a mixture of intimacy and savagery stirred within her a twisted pleasure as a result.

With a scoff, Absinth turned her head to meet his gaze, wiping her blade – still stained with his blood – across her wrist with deliberate slowness. "Fine wine?" She retorted, sheathing her weapon and positioning herself face-to-face with him. Raising her fore, she licked at the blood with a painstakingly slow drag of her tongue, maintaining unwavering eye contact, a smirk creeping up from the corners of her lips as she did so. "I’ve been told I taste like every wicked desire one has ever had. What do you think?"
