Things had been rocky over the last few days with her and Chimera, and she wasn't acting like he had done anything wrong but she wasn't really acting herself either. It wasn't that easy to tell. Viper was pretty quiet after all. But maybe Chimera could have known her well enough to see it. Viper had taken a short run around the island, as was routine for her. But she cut it short once she had decided on other plans. Moccasin was seated on the beach aligned with the den, and he eagerly rose when Viper went more inland towards her and Chimera's den. She wasn't exactly sure if he was in the den, but went out to find him if not. When she did, she stood before him, looked at him for a few long seconds before pulling her head for him to join her. They hadn't done this for a while. It seemed their relationship had taken some changes, not that she had noticed even now. But once upon a time before she was in Chimera's den, on his island, or under him, this is how they offered and spent their time together. She moved out of the lands of Ashen and farther from the two packs joined together. She stayed in the surrounding forests as she started to track for something to kill, Moccasin stayed close to her and tested his nose as well. "Chimera" -- "Viper"

Things had been tense, that was true. Chimera didn't let it bother him though. He was the master of this island and no woman was going to scare him away from it with her shifting moods and jealousy. It would be better for everyone if Viper just accepted that Chi wasn't a one-woman man. Did he not care for her? Did she not have a high position within his den? Aliana still slept with the dogs for bloods sake. He took what he needed from the slave woman in the hopes of giving Viper the better parts of himself. How could she not see that? Chimera was more than a little surprised when Viper sought him out. Mismatched ears pricked forward as she motioned for him to follow her. He thought about it for a moment, having been working on clearing away debris from the fresh water stream that he'd found, but in the end he followed. Out of the territory they went, Chi allowing Viper to take the lead. He liked this. It was a reminder of where they had started together. Meg and Gem had joined them at the border and the three dogs split off to scent prey. Chimera placed a good natured lick behind the small woman's white tipped ear before dropping his own nose to scent for prey. "Chimera" -- "Viper"

It didn't take her long before she scented a prey and Moccasin was quick to note as well, but it wasn't what she wanted. She shrugged her head at the dog, still moving forward and searching for something a little more lively for her and Chimera. When she hit something of interest she didn't hesitate to move forward quickly, taking the dogs by surprise before they all came together in a pack. And they all followed after Viper's lead to find out what she was after. It wasn't easy to sneak up on it, the beast was already moving on to it's next territory. But it didn't seem bothered by the group of canines, or at least it didn't see them as a threat. It was very wrong. Viper quickly came up to the striped creature, coming from behind and leaping up to grab it's left ear with a strong force, easily ripping it right through the center. The tiger quickly went into an offensive nature, and Viper faced off with it ready for more. Moccasin was quick to distract it from behind, but she expected the others to jump in after her. This was after all to get time away with Chimera. "Chimera" -- "Viper"

Chimera followed along, noting when the dogs touched on various scents. None of them seemed to be what Viper had in mind and they continued on. In time, the small woman found a scent that pleased her. Chi adjusted course just as she did and was not surprised when they were face to face with a tiger. Viper rushed in, biting at the cat and the three dogs harried it from all directions. It hardly felt like a fair fight with five against one, so Chimera called Meg and Gem away. The dogs seemed a little put off, but they did as their master bid. If Viper wished to call her dog off, she could do so. With the odds a little more even, Chimera acted. The giant brute leaped towards the cat. Rows of sharp teeth sank into its hip before the tiger spun, claws extended. A swipe rocketed towards him, but he was already backpedaling and was out of reach by the time the cat's momentum was spent. Teeth then found the paw that had done the swiping and Chimera bit down hard, letting the rows of wickedly sharp teeth pierce through flesh and meat alike. The cat wailed and jerked its paw free, but the damage had been done. It wouldn't be using that paw the same ever again. "Chimera" -- "Viper"

Chimera had called Gem and Meg off, so Viper flashed a glance to Moc where he did the same. She didn't see it to even out the fight, she assumed that Chimera had wanted to take the kill with only himself and Viper. The trio of dogs would stand by in case anything went wrong, but she was certain nothing would. Not with the two of them and how they worked. Chimera laid a brutal bite with his shark teeth after the beast swiped at him, maybe just to get back at it for swatting at him.Viper couldn't disagree, and she certainly wasn't going to tell Chimera what to do. She leapt forward, coming between Chimera and the tiger to bite down on the already injured paw that Chimera had started. She didn't stop as she ran though, pulling the Tiger's massive, destroyed paw out from under it and getting it down onto it's side and vulnerable for maybe the last attack. Her head twisted where the Tiger's paw was in an irregular position, and she looked up at Chimera while she had the beast nearly pinned, giving him the honor if that's what he wanted. "Chimera" -- "Viper"

The cat stood no chance. Even without the dogs, Chimera and Viper were seasoned hunters and had been doing so together long enough to work off of each other's strengths and weaknesses. As Viper tripped the cat up, Chimera wasted no time falling into place. He didn't need her pointed glance to tell him what needed to be done. Rather than jump onto the cats stomach and get a warm, pointy hug, Chimera went around the back and extended his neck to put a well placed bite to the throat. It didn't take long for the tiger to die. Not with rows of razor sharp teeth slicing its throat to bits. Covered in blood, the beasts tongue lolled as he caught his breath. There was an amused look on his face as he stared at the small woman. "You said you wanted a bear. This is a tiger." He actually teased her. When he dug the den for her, Viper had told him that she wanted a bear pelt for the den. It didn't matter that they had a ton of pelts. She had wanted a bear. Then things went to hell. She attacked Dalila. Threw a fit about Aliana. Deliberately disobeyed him. Got herself bitten. Now she was taking him out to kill tigers like none of it had happened. He didn't understand her most of the time. "Chimera" -- "Viper"

Letting Chimera take the kill was really a present from her. Somehow. She could have killed it herself to show off her strength or something, normally she would. But she knew Chimera liked to kill things, maybe she made it more fun, she didn't know. When she looked up at his dripping chin, she carefully moved her lips closer to his and attempted to lap off the drips with just a couple licks so it wouldn't be pouring anymore, not that her or Chimera really minded blood. He mentioned how she had asked for a bear and not a tiger. She pushed the still bleeding corpse over so it was in a better position to be moved. With them and their dog companions, it wouldn't be a hefty load. "Good enough." She stated, her gaze not looking up to Chimera while she set the beast up for the load. Her paws placed on the shoulder of the dead creature, as if presenting the kill to him while she spoke again, "I jus' wanted to remember." Usually she wouldn't have spoke her feelings so easily. It was well known by Chimera how silent Viper used to be, and she was still mostly silent. But with their lessons, it was at least a little bit easier to express herself past bites or physical affection now. She looked back up towards Chimera again, stating, "Special." With a small smile before she used some twine that Moc had carried for her to tie to the kill to haul it back. It might have been easier to take Chimera's cart, but it was a little late for that now. The dogs didn't mind, she wouldn't either. But she wasn't quite done with Chimera. She had more plans before heading home. "Chimera" -- "Viper"

Since Viper already had a plan to tie up the cat for easy dragging, Chimera didn't lift a paw and let her do so. He was pleased with the licks that she'd given his chin. No one else was like this with him; so open and bloody. As she trussed up the tiger, she spoke, telling him that it was so she could remember. "Remember what?" he asked. It wasn't like this was the first time that they'd killed something together and it surely wouldn't be the last. 'Special,' she said. He didn't know what was so special about killing another tiger, but if it was special to her, then he wouldn't argue with her. Once the dead feline was ready for transfer, Chimera helped to get it hitched to the three mastiffs. They could easily pull the kill back and if it wasn't easy, they would do it anyway. Once the dogs began to move off, Chimera placed a paw on Viper, holding her back in case she had planned on going home already. They were already out here. There was privacy. Why not take advantage? "Chimera" -- "Viper"

With the dogs tied up for the haul, Viper started to make her tracks that looked like they were going back to Ashen. Chimera had stopped her though, making her turn back around to face him. Her eyes flicked for a moment while she had expected him to say or do something, but she quickly pulled a smile over her features before motioning with her head to follow. Chimera could have been eager, not that Viper would have noticed. But she tried her best to lure him towards the springs. At least she had started leading him away from the pack after a few strides, maybe that gave him enough patience to wait and follow. When they arrived at the springs, she removed her armor quickly and immediately ventured down into one of the pools, the dogs taking a seat with the kill in the close distance. With a small splash, she gently paddled to the edge, her front paws climbing up against the wall and she turned back to look at Chimera, hoping he got the hint. "Chimera" -- "Viper"

It didn't take much hinting to have Chimera follow Viper. He enjoyed their time together when she wasn't being batshit crazy and jealous. When they were alone, she was just fine. Randomly, he found himself wondering how the bites to her neck were healing. He hadn't taken care with her that day. He'd treated her like he would treat Dalila. Like he treated Aliana. And he'd liked it. Chimera just liked putting more holes in women than they were supposed to have. The giant's pale pink eye followed as the small fae moved towards one of the springs and slid beneath the warm water. The dogs were settled off at the edge of the open space and Chimera released a low growl. Gem and Meg knew what that growl meant by now. Collecting Moccasin, the trio of dog pulled the cat back home, leaving the pair of wolves alone at the springs. The lightly striped behemoth slid into the water behind the woman, stilling for a moment as his body adjusted to the heat of the pool. His gaze narrowed slightly as he stared at Viper. "Did you plan this all along?" She was being sentimental today. He didn't quite understand it, but if she wanted to fuck, then he wasn't complaining. "Chimera" -- "Viper"

When he joined her and asked, she didn't answer quite yet. She shuffled over to him and wanting to put her paws onto his shoulders, "Re, member?" If she had ever had a girly moment in her life it would have been now. Her gaze looked at him like he was a god, sometimes she did feel as such. Maybe it was because it had been so long since they had gotten a break, or killed something together, or been off the island. She had quite the attitude, but maybe at least now in this moment she was showing her true, raw emotions of Chimera or at least how she felt about him. He may have never really known truly how she felt. He had known that she hated her mother, maybe potentially that she had been a slave at some point, but there wasn't very much he actually knew about her other than she liked to kill things with him, and she was pretty arrogant. She was trying to make her point of being special, remembering. If he had realized or not. But he was right in his thoughts earlier. Whatever he had done to her before, it was over her shoulder and nearly forgotten. She only looked forward, and remembered these good times with him. Because really, when they were actually here in the pools together, it didn't really go any good way. But she reminisced in the after, when they were back in Ashen after Chimera had left her in the dust. Unfortunately she wasn't like the slaves, she wouldn't massage his sore paws or shoulders. Well, unless he had asked for it. As religious as she was for him, she didn't have the slightest idea of seduction or really any kind of pleasure other than what she was already taught. Honestly she could have been anything that Chimera wanted or needed, but maybe she just wasn't enough as one woman. "Chimera" -- "Viper"

She asked if he remembered and, even though he didn't, he released a low rumble of agreement. Before she could ask any more questions about what he should have remembered, Chimera closed the distance and pulled the small woman into a kiss. His tongue pushed into her maw, both tasting her and sharing the taste of the tiger's blood that was still in his own mouth. One foreleg wrapped around the black and brown fae's back and he pulled her to him tightly. Her gaze told him that this was what she wanted, so this was what she would get. She had been good today, so her good deeds would go rewarded. Carefully, Chimera shifted them both to a more shallow space within the pool. The bottom had a slight incline and Viper's small paws would be able to touch more easily. They would have to touch for what he had in store for her. It wouldn't do to have her drown beneath his bulk. Once the kiss ended, Chimera spun the little fae as though she was feather light. He placed her hind paws on the incline and her front paws on the ledge. He then rose up from the water to put his own giant paws on the ledge. She was definitely the little spoon. With a very unChimera-like gentleness, the brute nuzzled behind Viper's white-tipped ear. He gently hooked one paw under her belly to help hold her while he positioned himself just right. Then, with a soft growl of pleasure right next to the woman's ear, he sank into her. No, he didn't remember, but he would plant new memories within her along with... other things. -Fade- "Chimera" -- "Viper"

This time had seemed a little different than any other, Chimera had not always been rough with her, but this time was some kind of different gentleness she couldn't compare to. Maybe it was just the way she felt for him. Viper after all had joined Chimera willingly, rather than be bought and owned. Sure he may have claimed her, but that's not really how she saw it. Just as she saw the brighter memories, she saw the brighter sides of Chimera, and she quite liked the darker sides too. She wasn't like any other woman for sure, she probably wasn't like any other wolf. Under him, she was always at his mercy. Usually it was of her free will, because he had showed her the pleasure in this. But even when it wasn't of her will, she really had no other choice but to bend under him. So either way, he got his way, and Viper enjoyed it most the time. Especially this time specifically. It was a lot more sensual with their newer positions in the water, sentimental. Her voice still stayed silent while her noises were the only signs of her enjoyment. She was meant to be here with him, she could feel it. Even if it wasn't in any normal kind of outlook. -Fade- The water had settled around them when Chimera was finished, and she immediately floated towards him when she was released going to place her paws back on his shoulders and gently rubbing at them. A random, natural thought that came to her mind. She still admired him, looking along his chest and features with a tiny, content grin. Silence was not unusual among them, or from Viper of course, and it would take her a moment before she took a breath to speak, "I love." Like that was it, that was the end of it. She wasn't worried, it was in her face. She had run over any insecurities with Chimera what felt like ages ago. She had always done what she wanted after all. It was just part of her nature. "You." "Chimera" -- "Viper"

Viper was soft beneath him. Compliant as always. She never complained. Even when he was forcing himself upon her, she hadn't complained. Maybe that was why he liked her. She would let him do anything to her. A variety of thoughts ran through Chimera's mind. He could drown her here and she wouldn't be able to do anything about it. He could pretend to kiss her and rip out her throat instead. She'd never see it coming. Ah, but she wasn't a slave. Viper was of higher standing in the pack than the two women on his island. He wouldn't murder her, but them... there was always a chance. Once they were finished and the water had settled, Chimera moved, placing his back against the edge of the pool. Viper wasted no time in coming to him and placing her paws on his shoulders. Reflexively, he wrapped one arm around her, pulling her chest against his own. He was content to soak for a while longer before they made their journey back home. Chimera's eyes had closed when Viper uttered those three words, spaced out as they may have been. She loved him, eh? Love... wasn't a word that Chimera had ever used. Not even to Siren. Saying it to Viper felt too much like a lie since he didn't understand the feeling at all, so he simply replied with, "I know." "Chimera" -- "Viper"

If Viper was like any other woman or wolf, she probably would have been gravely offended and regretful for the way Chimera responded. But she wasn't. Viper had been on her own for about five years, and Chimera may have had Siren but they weren't much different on the outlook of who was important to them. Honestly, Viper's brother would have been welcomed back into her life if they had ever crossed paths again. But it was never meant to be that way. Though Viper never thought of her brother or her parents. She didn't want to remember times like that. Mostly because they made her sad as much as she wouldn't have admitted it. Her life was perfect as a very young child. She had considered herself royalty, she was cared for by her parents, she had connections with her brother and with Jupiter. And thinking about her wonderful, happy life back then was just too traumatic to reminisce. It was much easier to just act like she never had that life before. Her paws gently continued to rub around his shoulders as she still admired him, looking around his face and his body. Chimera had taught her so much, so much she didn't know and didn't know she needed. It was easy for her to forget the bad things. How he forced himself on her, how he was fucking the slaves. His hot head was similar to her own, so she couldn't complain much about that. But she only saw and took the good things which may have been beyond normal. Right after their argument she picked herself and went between him and the slave, she didn't take time to lay there and think about it. She avoided the thoughts, but it wasn't pent up inside of her to burst one day. There really was no reading her. "You ready to go back?" "Chimera" -- "Viper"

Viper toyed with him, sliding her paws along his shoulders. She looked openly at him and seemed terribly pleased to have him all to herself today. When she asked if he was ready to go back, the man thought about it for a moment. She'd been very good lately. No fighting with the slaves. No making herself a nuisance. No being cocky or mouthy. Maybe she just needed more alone time with him. Chimera was generally very unbending. It was his way or no way. He was learning the different needs and nuances of the women in his life when he allowed himself to pay attention. "No," he answered before pushing her away. Chimera pulled his big body out of the water and steam rose from his slick pelt as he did so. Reaching back in, he scooped Viper out with one leg under her ribcage. Really, she weighed nothing. Depositing her on the ground outside of the spring, Chimera pushed the woman's chest to the ground. With that same hip, he raised her ass into the air. Again, he found himself within her, dominating her in the only way that he enjoyed sex. He kept her body tight to his, pounding rough and hard, not afraid to break her. Land allowed him more leverage than the water had and he worked hard to truly satisfy himself and Viper as well. -Fade again- "Chimera" -- "Viper"

She was actually disappointed when he left the spring, her paws leaving him and hooking over the edge of wall yet again. She didn't expect any reason why though, just feeling a little left behind while he first separated from her without an answer. Though she would have probably met him with the same silence. Only he didn't leave her, instead scooping her back out of the water. At first she went to stand up, turning towards him like maybe they were about to leave until he planted her back onto the ground and put her in the position he wanted. Viper wasn't expecting, but she didn't attempt to get away from him. They had never done it like this, twice, though she supposed she didn't know better anyway. This time felt different, after being so freshly fucked just before, it was a different feeling of pleasure and Chimera was met with new moans and noises under him as she sought the ground under her own claws. He didn't give her a break, the again heavy gravity between them had truly made a difference and she was completely welcoming him to their desires. -Fade again- "Chimera" -- "Viper"

The sounds of pleasure pulling from Viper's throat with every thrust was more beautiful than any word she'd ever spoken. Every wail, moan, growl, gasp and shuddered breath only served to excite him further, and when he was finished, it was evident that he wasn't really finished. Striding to a stack of wood left over from whoever had ruled this place at one time, Chimera slammed Viper down upon it. He put her on her back this time so that he could watch her as she reacted to his hard work and impressive stamina. Rising up, the two-toned behemoth placed his paws on the planks just above Viper's shoulders. All the better to hold her in place while he fucked her silly. He positioned himself just right and slammed home. It never crossed his mind that she might be sore or tired of sex. If she was, she would have said so. Would that have mattered either though? Probably not. -Fade. One. More. Time!- Once he was finished ploughing through the small woman beneath him, Chimera was tired. He was hot and his back was a bit sore, but at least he was satisfied. Leaving Viper atop the pile of planks, the big man dropped to his side on the smooth, rocky ground. His jaws hung open and he panted, trying to relieve some of the heat that engulfed his big body. Bloody hell... he would sleep well tonight. "Chimera" -- "Viper"

Chimera hadn't had enough, and Viper wouldn't question it. While she was older in age, she was new to all of this and learning as time went on she wasn't hesitant to take what Chimera gave her. As hot headed and stubborn as she was, she was right for him, though maybe not the other way around. She was not weak, emotionally but she also drove that onto the outside the best she could too. But with strength, she had also bent for him. He was truly in control of her, even through her fits. She would always come back to him no matter what kind of fuss they had. But she would probably never admit that she needed him that way. She was really reliant on him, as much as she told herself otherwise. Chimera picked her back up yet again, slamming her down onto planks nearby. It did give her some sort of rush, some sort of feeling she had never experienced before especially now that she was looking up at him. It was unexpected as he continued once again in her, but still she welcomed it. Chimera was able to experience her own expressions if he wanted, lip biting, lip quivering, a whole new perspective then his usual side view with her planted into the earth under him. Viper had felt pain from time to time, but she had suffered through it because the pleasure far outweighed it, and seeing Chimera in this moment was more pleasing to her than she could describe. She had wanted her paws up against his chest, but wouldn't have forced it on him, Chimera's pleasure was really more important than hers down to this moment. And her own gaze stayed locked on his face, wanting to look into his eyes while he finished, joining in his own symphonies in the final climax. Viper felt hot too as she slid down the plank pile along with Chimera, only attempting to hold around one of his front legs as they calmed. Her eyes had wandered down to his male parts, the sight and scent of her own blood she didn't bother to think about for more than a second, her hind legs shuffled slightly while she got more comfortable but it wasn't long before her gaze was back up to the beautiful, monstrous man she had believed as her own. She quickly washed out that subtle bad thought, and instantly went back to her admiration of him and this life that he had given her. The time spent out here was enough to make her ignore any harsh inner feelings back on the island. Chimera was her partner well before any of this anyway. "Chimera" -- "Viper"

A low rumble of contentment exited the giant as the small fae cozied up against him. She wrapped her legs around one of his own and he used that leg to pull her in close. Hot or not, he was feeling... affectionate. Or at least as affectionate as he could get. Viper should have felt lucky. She was the only one that got to see this side of him. Post-coitus, Chimera generally fucked and left. Here he was though, dragging the tiny woman up against his damp belly. Chimera pulled Viper into his embrace, their bodies belly to belly. He allowed the woman to use his bottom leg as a pillow while the other paw draped over her hip. His heart was slowly returning to its normal, steady beat. The heat was being absorbed into the ground beneath him. After the hunt and all of the sex, he was exhausted. Chimera pressed Viper into him. Keeping her so close, he would be able to tell if she tried to leave while he slept. That wasn't allowed. She belonged to him whether she liked it or not. With the russet and black fae held hostage, Chimera's eyes slowly drifted closed. Sleep claimed him quickly. There were no dreams. Just deep, restful sleep. "Chimera" -- "Viper"
