Mongrels

~~~***~~~

Her dream was vivid, lucid, and overall it seemed too real. Glancing down, she sighed at the choice of garb. A lily-white dress hung from tiny straps on her shoulders, barely covering what didn't need to be seen; and she wiggled her toes, observing her bare feet on the cool earth. Glancing up, her mind committed to memory the beauty outspread in her vision.

An open forest was set before her, the ground covered in freshly fallen leaves in an assortment of greens. Moss grew everywhere, cushioning her footsteps as she strolled through the wooded area. A few yards away, she could see someone or something sitting at the side of a pond. Feeling an urge to see this other person, Lily held up the end of her gown and ran, trying to evade the larger stones that threatened to trip her. She stopped a few feet from the shape, noticing the familiar figure.

"Vrene?" his tail twitched and he bent his head to look at her. This wasn't really what she'd expected at all. It was Vrene, but with more of his snow leopard features, and his legs looked bent below the knee that lead to some very bizarre feline paws. He seemed to glide over to her, his eyes still the baby blue she'd come to adore.

"Why are you here? You should not be here." His eyes locked on her, prowling only so close then just doing circles around her.

"I don't know... But isn't this a dream?" she asked, backing up until she touched the bark of a huge tree. Vrene circled closer, but kept his distance. Lily watched him carefully; weary of her friend who looked like he was on the verge of sanity. All of a sudden Vrene crouched and launched himself up to the large branch above her head. He was wrestling wildly with something, but it was too dark for her to tell what it was. Lily's instinct told her to get out now, and that's just what she did. Though she would've preferred some shoes, she wasn't complaining.

A high pitch shriek made her heartbeat fall, her feet carrying her as far away as she could get. Her gown was wadded in her hands, and she only stumbled once. But a shadow to her left kept up with her, even passing her, toying with her. The woods seem to spread for miles until finally it had an abrupt end. She stood frozen at a precipice, looking down into the murky chasm. Only death would follow jumping into that. A snarl caught her attention, making her spin around only to face Vrene's inner beast.

The snow-white fur was beautiful, but it wasn't ordinary, no, this thing was five times the size of a normal snow leopard. The eyes were a translucent gold, set back in a broad skull. Those eyes gleamed with carnal desires. Yellow tinted fangs smeared with blood were shown to her, letting her see her fate. Thick claws scraped on the ground as it edged closer to her, swishing its long tail in forewarning. She was as far as she could go. But the ground trembled, her view distorted, and suddenly she was falling into oblivion.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Lily turned over, hitting the alarm beside her. Seven o'clock, she should've been done with her shower by now and moving onto dressing and rushing down for a meal. But today... She wouldn't be going to school just yet. Lily wanted to spend a little more time with her new pet before dashing off and leaving him alone. She relaxed back, shifting over to get a better look at him. Vrene lay on his right side, curled up slightly since he'd been spooning her all night. His mouth was slightly open, his breathing soft and even. Looking at that serene face, Lily couldn't help but brush her fingers over the spots on his upturned cheek. Heat radiated from him, a feverish feel. Lily looked over him, noticing his ears had changed. The long point ears had become soft furred feline kind. Like a child, her hand reached out in curiosity to feel how soft they really were. The fur was like a newborn's hair, so soft one couldn't help but caress it.

While tracing the soft black outer edge of one, she didn't notice him wake up. Vrene softly purred, but suddenly felt like he needed... Her. He could feel her shift closer. His keen since of smell took in all that it could, loving the way that she always smelt of sweets, or like thereof. Vrene was reminded of his mother, or someone who took care of him in his youngest years. He felt the bed move again. Slowly, he opened his eyes to see how close Lily really was.

He was eye level with her collarbone area, that supple flesh ripe for biting into, claiming. His inner beast snarled, she is ours. Her fingers felt great, just treating him like he was a kitten. His beast pressed its desire again, making Vrene mewl in resistance. Lily was startled, moving back a bit. Their eyes met and Vrene's lovely blue eyes had gone a golden shade, dark around the outside, giving him a lethal facade. Lily could almost feel an unexplainable drive reaching out to her. It was reaching out, trying to press that need into her. Overwhelmed with fear, Lily scooted back further only to end up on her back, having gone off the edge of the bed. Vrene was letting out soft growls and mewls, pressing his hands over his ears, as if trying not to listen to that thing.

"Vrene are you alright? What the hell is that?" Lily felt like she'd seen a ghost or monster. She noticed Vrene twisting in the sheets, his tail twirling and swishing uncontrollably.

"...out!" he hissed, the spots had gone down his back from his shoulders.

"Huh?"

"Get out!" Vrene sounded like he was in pain; his face flushed a deep red as he growled. Those gold eyes threatened to devour her, one way or another. Lily got to her feet, spinning on her heels to get out. Her fear elevated, and that's all the beast needed to press down Vrene's will. He leapt from the bed, claws digging into the soft mattress, leaving open rips behind. He was fast, rebounding off the wall and completely skipping the stairs. Lily held back her scream, her fear at the highest it'd ever been. What had gotten into him? The beast screamed, letting out a horrific sound as it bashed its weight against the solid door.

The hinges almost gave with the last hit, and Lily pondered on what to do. There was nowhere to go, and she felt the joy the beast was getting out of this chase. It was excited, wanting her as either a meal or mate. Personally, she didn't think she'd live through mating with such a monster. BAM, another hit made the door give on one side. His hands had become vicious claws, and those talons ripped the door entirely away. It let out a loud thud as it was dropped in the hallway, and she was left to stare up at her pursuer. He was breathing heavily, almost like he was intoxicated. His voice was soft, letting her know he was still somewhere inside watching, "Lily."
But she was too scared to move, too scared to even think of what this thing would do. His spine bowed, and something below his skin seemed to crawl. He was doubled over, almost like he was in pain. He let out a loud roaring scream, clawing at the air. Vrene was wrestling with it now, trying to regain control. It hissed, "I am not her slave!"

This thing was so scared of being dominated that it would rather break her or tear her apart. I don't want a slave, she was watching this unseen conflict. Although she was not sure she could tell that to an animal. They were bound, mind, soul... Flesh she wasn't so sure about since it wanted to bodily harm her. He'd stopped moving, but she could hear him gasping for air still. Suddenly he was over her, those eyes pleading for her help. She noticed yet another change in them. The one on the right was a pale gold, shadowed by his long mane on that side, menacing. The left was a beautiful baby blue, so harmless looking. His snarl fell, the lines of his face crumbling. She noticed one huge tear, then another, and a torrent seemed to be let lose. Whines were torn from his throat, small drops soaking into her shirt. "I can't stop him."

His voice was so soft, those eyes begging once again. The link that now bound them flared, telling her what his intentions would be if she didn't want to anger the beast further. A word couldn't cover it; it was pure carnal desire coming from the beast. Those blue eyes pleaded her to let him have her, so the beast could be calmed.
Lily was in her own conflict. On one hand, she really liked Vrene, even wanting to keep him as her own. On the other hand, she hadn't realized exactly what was lurking inside him until now. She was in way over her head.

"Vrene... Can we do this in a place a little less..." she couldn't describe it but the bathroom floor wasn't a good idea. Vrene nodded, a thankful smile graced his lips and he gave her a soft nuzzle of affection before he stood. Two thin arms slung her over his shoulder and he carried her up the stairs. The way he held her, she could've sworn her weight was nothing to him. Her mind was taken away when she realized that somehow he'd become naked; her eyes had a nice sight of his cute behind as he walked. Her face had never been so red in all her life as she was dumped unceremoniously on the bed, still in her pink pajamas, about to have sex with a man who had broken into her home only months ago.

She wasn't the only scared, or rather embarrassed. Vrene's cheeks were on fire, and he didn't know how to start something like this. How could you nicely rape the one who supposedly owned you? His ears ducked back and he buried his face into the pillow next to her, his tail sweeping up over her legs and nestled in between them. The beast growled and pressed it's power against Vrene, telling him if he didn't do it, it would itself, and Vrene knew it wouldn't be nice to Lily.

"...Lily, I'm sorry..." Vrene shuddered, fingers sliding over her collarbone and neck, shifting his weight over. His eyes she noticed had gone back to pure blue, but the look of carnal needs was still there. This look was all for her though. She wanted to resist, to push him off, but at what risk? The damn beast had taken off too many doors already, she didn't need a missing arm or leg. Instead of resisting, spurring the beast to tear her apart, Lily pushed down her uneasiness and gave in. A warm wet tongue trailed up the side of her jaw line, and her heart felt like it skipped a beat. Perhaps this whole ordeal would not be so bad, she thought. He repeated it, and this time it felt hot. The line it left behind burned for more. The tension amidst them seemed to disappear, replaced by something else.

Vrene slowed down, planting small kisses from her cheek down her jaw to her neck, taking an interest in that soft skin. Sharp fangs scraped along her skin, leaving red lines that lead to her shoulder or collar. He let out a purr, feeling her hand playing with one of his ears again. Everything was too real, and a wave of reality washed over him, pushing the beast back a little more.

"I don't know if I can really do this..." his ears ducked back, hiding his face beside her. Lily was in a daze, her body wanting a little more attention. Lily wasn't exactly a morally sound girl, however she wasn't a complete sellout like some girls she'd overheard.

"Am I really your... What did you call it?" her fingers tangled in his black hair, the other hand idly touching the black rings on his shoulder.

"Tamer, or at least that's what I've heard them called. I guess it'd be like a soul mate, or close to that."

"So you're an animal to me, and I can order you around and such?" a flare of curiosity was sparked in her. Vrene glanced up at her, shocked.

"I guess..." his voice was soft, unsure of what she was planning. Blue met green and his beast stirred, protesting the absurd ideas that flashed in his mind. Lily tightened her grip in his hair, those blue eyes widening up at her, but she could see the excitement. The beast was cornered at this point, Vrene liked the idea of being owned and Lily didn't seem to be the shy weak girl the beast thought her to be. Nails scratched his scalp as she gripped harder, jerking his head back at random. A shuddering breath came from him, those eyes startled, but his body reacted which made her blush.

"Such advantages. Perhaps we can work something out, to tame this inner... fiend of yours." Lily just went back to petting his hair, letting him cuddle back against her.

"He won't... We won't be completely yours unless we finish the binding..." Vrene was as nervous as her, unsure if she'd be in good terms with him after it all.

"..." Lily was mulling over the idea and thinking of how soon things had turned. A tail swished at leisure, Vrene gently licking her neck, encouraging her to take his offer. Lily reflected on it, but felt she couldn't really turn Vrene down. It was like a child begging for a present for his birthday or some holiday, you just couldn't disappoint. And that lovely tongue needs some work, her inner self cackled.

"Vrene," those blue eyes rolled up awaiting any order she would give, "please me. Give me, only me, satisfaction. Never touch another soul like you will me." Her heart was fluttering, wondering if she'd missed anything, but this new sense of authority was uplifting. The beast was confused at her power, at this order. Vrene wasn't, and he relaxed his power that controlled his appearance. The feline features hit their peak of his shift and he shuddered, hovering over her body. Furry ears pointed out from under a thick mane of pitch-black hair. One moment he'd been a scrawny man, next he was partially covered in fur. He was still unsure of what she would like, but he decided to try anything, everything, until she stopped him.

Lily was staring nervously up at him, and he could taste her heartbeat, smell the fear. He gave her gentle eyes and inched foreword, giving her a kiss. Lily made the silly mistake of touching his ears again, spurring his libido. His warm tongue and pointed teeth gradually gained entry, allowing him to deepen the kiss. Lily's hands caressed his ears and just moved on their own, exploring her peculiar pet. The light fur covering his upper body was just too fine to not be touched. While she was petting him, Vrene broke the kiss for air. He panted, wanting more of her, to taste her. And those sweet olive-green eyes looked to be pleading for more. He obliged, sliding his clawed hands under her shirt, removing the offensive article. Immediately he went back to work, not giving himself a chance to embarrass her by staring. Their lips met in a mutually heated kiss, her tugging his lower lip at the end with her teeth, earning a purr from him. His scalding breath lingered over her neck before he went to exploring her chest.

It started with those clawed hands as he kneaded, leaving small scratches behind. Lily made discomforted sounds, squirming under his touch. Vrene caught sight of the angry red lines, one in particular on the verge of bleeding. He retracted his claws so they looked like long nails again muttering a 'sorry.' Lily was into the mood now, and figured she could trust Vrene. She got a hold on his hands after he'd changed them and brought them up, kissing his open palms. Vrene shuddered, but didn't stop. Lily let out a gentle moan when his mouth engulfed one nipple. It triggered something in Lily, letting go of one hand, but she started sucking a couple of fingers gently. A low hiss made her insides crawl and continue the work with enthusiasm. With his free hand, Vrene started to stroke her right side. Rubbing from her shoulder down to her hip. Impatient, Vrene pulled his right hand from her mouth, trailing it down her left side. Both hands settled at the top of her shorts on either hip, wanting to rip the material off.

"Vrene..." she pleaded, and he obeyed. That beast in him was definitely interested now. He skipped the whole foreplay and dragged off her panties as well. He was full to burst, but refused to do so without his mistress's word. The feminine smell was on intoxicating, making him bare his fangs.

Mine, he was on her like a starving man, that long catlike tongue finally being put to good use. Lily let out a shrill startled noise, quickly covering her mouth after remembering she had neighbors. Fangs scraped something she'd never touched in her sixteen years, making her bite down on her misfortunate lower lip. Noticing the tension in her body after he'd done that, Vrene set out to do it more while his tongue plunged in as far as he could force it. The scent was driving him mad. After minutes of torture, he stopped cold. Lily looked down in question, but saw what was wrong. His manhood wasn't human like at all except in color along the shaft. The head was shaped more like an animals, the whole thing had come from a shallow sheath she'd seen earlier after he'd shifted. This was nothing like she'd learned in class or had seen on television. She gave him a perplexed look to which he answered with a kiss.

"I promise not to hurt you..." Vrene kissed her several more times, allowing her to touch him. She held him, occasionally stroking, observing how his hips thrust foreword gently and how he closed his eyes. Amused, she continued at a mild pace. He couldn't take it much longer, "Please..."

Lily couldn't help but smile, that dominant side of her had been waiting to hear that one word. She trailed her hands up his stomach, chest, touching the spots on his shoulders, caressing up his neck finally settling back on those ears. Baby blue met olive green, not one word needed. She brought him down for a kiss and he took the opportunity to nudge in. Being a virgin, Lily was about to say something when he thrust in all the way. She screamed. Screamed loud enough to make his ears ring and his mood all but shutdown. A few tears streamed down her cheeks and he caught them, wondering what in world he'd done. Taking some deep breaths, Lily opened her eyes and smiled at him. "Sorry, wasn't expecting you to be that eager."

"What did I do? Are you hurt?" Vrene sounded scared, like a child, which made her giggle. He gave her a puzzled look.

"I am... Was, a virgin, but it's nothing to be concerned about. Every woman goes through this the first time." Her comforting tone and smile made him nuzzle her neck, asking for forgiveness. Small hands rubbed his ears, tugging him up for a sweet kiss. She wiggled her hips, making him purr, that eagerness returning twofold. Vrene pulled out, making her wiggle more until he jerked back up, making her let out a shuddering moan.

His thrusts were moderate, precise, enjoying the sounds she rewarded him with. It was speeding up steadily until her roaming hands found the base of his tail. More than loving his ears being loved on, his tail was almost as sensitive as his member when turned on. His actions became erratic, to which Lily had to lock her legs around his hips and her arms around his neck. Neither of them could take much more, especially Vrene. He could feel her feet sporadically rub his tail, making him buck unusually hard in her. Lily was trying to control her moans, chewing on her abused lip.

"Please mistress, please." His begging continued while he plunged into her, going at a steady pace again.

"Who owns you?" Lily tried controlling her voice, but ending up making it sound erotic more than commanding.

"You." He panted, nipping at her lips. An exquisite burn started in his groin, he awaited orders, just keeping that pace. Lily was gasping for air, stifling her moans yet again. He could feel her almost there not only from her body, but almost like telepathy.

Lily panted, locking her body around him and giving one long moan, "Vrene!"

She was tight, grasping him like a vise. His head whipped back, roaring his orgasm, too frenzied to form her name. He kept thrusting even after, making her squirm just for fun. Mine.

Both of them lay silent on their sides, him still inside her from behind. Lily wasn't nitpicking after that encounter. Although she did want to shower, she couldn't find the energy. A sharp nailed hand idly caressed her side and belly. Smiling, Lily put her hand over his and settled them on her stomach. The bed lurched as he reached for the blankets, which now lay on the floor. Lily protested, realizing he would have to pull out. "I'll get them."

Vrene just let her, watching as she somehow managed to grab them while keeping herself attached. She'd managed to get the comforter too, so they snuggled together in the cold house and fell asleep almost immediately.

Lily woke some time later, almost around twelve in the afternoon. She stretched out, but felt a protective arm around her waist that kept her from moving. A smile crept onto her lips as she turned to look at her new, lover? She couldn't quite place what he was to her yet, but she knew she loved him all the same.
She slowly moved his arm, sliding out from under the cozy nest of blankets. Shivers ran up her spine, and she suddenly recalled she was naked. Swiveling around the room, she eventually found her pink robe crumbled up in the bathroom on the floor. About to dress, her eyes idly stared at the shower. Looking down at herself she noticed the scratches, bites, and mixed bodily fluids dried to the inside of her legs. Her mind protested, telling her she needed food more; her body longed for some pleasant sympathy from that hot tap water after the ordeal that morning.

Lily debated for a few minutes, but gave in, knowing she needed to be clean. She laid the robe on her sink's edge since there was little to no counter space in her bathroom. Opening the sink's bottom door, Lily pulled out a fresh towel and balanced it along with the robe on the edge. Satisfied, she turned and rotated the shower knob, feeling the spray of cold before it gradually turned warm. Mist formed outside the curtain and she knew it was ready. Flipping on the fan, Lily drew the curtain back enough so she could slip in. The water felt like heaven to her skin. The scratches and cut on her chest from Vrene's claws seem to give a sigh of contentment. Grabbing her lilac soap, Lily proceeded to get rid of the stuff between her legs first. She blushed when her fingers felt how sensitive it was. Could she possibly keep this up?

"Lily are you ok?" a deep half yawning voice came from the door she'd forgotten to lock.

"I'm fine Vr-" a black nailed hand eased the curtain aside, and she couldn't turn down those concerned blue orbs. He seemed a lot bigger now, intimidating. Of course her feminine side drank in the sight of him, but her logic beat it down. She had to turn around, away from those affectionate eyes and bashful smile. "I'm fine, just need to clean off..."

Vrene knew she was hiding something. He slid his hands around her sides, wrapping them firmly around her middle and hugging her tightly. He kissed the top of her head "You can't lie to me."

Oh great. "I'm worried." She admitted to him.

"About?"

"We didn't use... You know." Her cheeks heated up, feeling him press closer.

"What?" he sounded genuinely puzzled.

"Protection." Her voice was muffled, her head bowed.

"Oh." Vrene didn't even know what that was, but he knew she was wondering about children. "They're not active this time of the month."

"They?"

"Our sperm is active only one week out of the month, kind of like a female's week, only different." Vrene tried his best to make it simple.

"Thank God." Lily relaxed back against him. Vrene kissed her temples, rolling a purr in his chest while he held her. He noticed her holding the bar of soap and eased it out of her hand. He played with it, slipping it in his hand almost dropping it twice. The smell reminded him of her, deviously sweet.

"Can I?" he eagerly wanted to wash her, to do anything for her. Vrene wanted to be the perfect pet so she would praise him, give him treats, and continue to love him. Although his mistress was debating on what to do with him. He'd already done so much, not letting her lift a finger practically. So she decided on something bold.

"No Vrene, give me the soap." She could feel his disappointment like a bad taste in her mouth. But it tickled her that he could be so kid like. "Turn around."

Vrene obeyed, turning so she got to see only his back. A hand rubbed over the spots that lead down his spine to his tail. She dared not touch that right away. Her eyes looked under the tail, to his fine little rump, and then down to his thin animal like legs. He had no fur on them, just human skin and she squatted down, touching them. Vrene was bewildered but did not move, not wanting to be scolded.

Hands slid back up his hind legs, delicately touching the backside of his thighs but stopped short of his ass or tail. She wavered, letting her hands just cup either cheek. It was all muscle no matter how scrumptious they looked. Vrene let out a small whine when she kneaded them, taking her time to torture him. Lily giggled and let him be, "Face me."

He turned, met with hands in his hair. Lily did her best to reach up but at five foot two inches, your subject being almost six feet, it was difficult. Vrene bent a little at the waist, allowing her more access. When she was content with his head, she let her hands slide down to his chest. Lean muscle was all she could feel; he didn't have much meat to him like that morning. She curiously flicked his left nipple, then his right. A low mewl was heard and she stopped, letting her hands wander to his sheath. Not a single hair or touch of fur was around it, all skin. Soaping up her hands, she ran a finger around the top of it in circles until the tip peaked out. That sense of ownership swelled in her chest again, telling her to make him beg.

"Vrene."

"Yes?" his voice was wavering, breathy. He noticed her sit on the very edge of the tub, shyly opening her legs.

"Can you please me? Without touching yourself." She wanted to be the one to coax him out. He closed his eyes letting out a long shuddering growl. He practically pounced on her, immediately digging his tongue into her, wanting that delightful nectar. Lily bit her own lip to keep from letting out a loud yelp. She gripped a hand on one of his ears, "Slow down, I'm still hurting a bit."

Vrene whined, kissing and rubbing his cheek on her stomach, submitting to her for his wrongdoing. Lily smiled, grabbing his chin and yanking those full pouty lips up and crashing hers against them. Vrene purred as she gave him a slow kiss, letting her set the speed. She pulled back and kissed his brow, "Love me Vrene, without fault."

The joy in his chest spread like wildfire, igniting his passion. He gave her one last chaste kiss, moving back down to his job. Lily got the full strength of his passion, and it left her seeing stars as his nose bumped her clit and his tongue lapped hard. She tangled one hand in his hair, pressing against his mouth more. He happily made her scream twice before she had to stop him, her body trembling from such orgasms. When she could focus, Lily's eyes roamed down his body. Oh how ready he was. His sheath had completely released him. It was an angry red, almost looked painful from where she sat. She looked from his groin to his panting face and her dominant side came to life, "Beg."

Vrene's body thrummed with excitement, he bowed his upper body and lowered his tail, yielding himself to her. A foot crept up his lower back, mulling over the tail's base. His groin pulsed and he let out a sob, "Mistress, please!"

"Please what?" Lily wasn't feeling herself; she was barely in control anymore. Binding him to her had awoken something powerful and controlling. She didn't like this, her anger flared and she tried to take her body back. The new her laughed in her mind, finding it amusing to leave a timid girl with this groveling beast. But she wouldn't lose. Lily turned the awkwardness into a passion filled moment.

She touched Vrene's face, rubbing a thumb in his goatee, smiling happily down at him. She bent his head up, capturing his lips in another kiss, but she angled herself so she could touch him. His member thrummed, seeking release. Those blue eyes watched her, wondering why she'd changed so abruptly. But his body didn't care; she was petting, kissing, and stroking him at the same time. He wanted to melt, body overwhelmed with sensations. His body erupted in pleasure, his mouth letting out a ragged sigh as his mouth slid down her body, resting his head against her stomach. A now cool stream of water beat down on them, all the hot water having been used. Lily moved enough so she could reach and twist the knob. Groggy, Vrene stood, wringing the water from his hair and tail.

"I need to eat..." Lily's stomach let out a long bellowing sound. Vrene purred and rung out the last of the water from his tail, lazing in the tub while Lily got out. Feeling naked, she reached for the robe. Then her hand stopped, deciding to grab the towel first. Drying off was more important. Vrene had seen the whole show anyways so being nude in front of him didn't seem to bother her anymore. Vrene got out behind the curtain, moving around her for a different towel, and seeing him in his birthday suit didn't trouble her. And that's the real reason she felt confused, because it should bother her. He put the towel open over his head and briskly dried off. Lily was already doing so, quickly putting on her robe and scooting out of the bathroom before her body randomly decided it wanted more.

Down in the kitchen, she noticed the sunbeams coming through the window and the calming sound of birds chirping outside. All this beauty was interrupted by her determined hunger, the growl a lot louder. She opened the fridge, looking at all the meat. Normally it would disgusted her to see so much raw food, but her mouth watered when she thought of the endless dishes she could make.

"Want me to make something?" Vrene was suddenly next to her, making her jump. Wearing nothing but some old shorts. He smirked at her scowl.

"Make us some chicken or beef strips, I'll make the salad." Her tone was left flat. She got out a bag containing already mixed salad goods and got around him without a word. Vrene let her by, noticing her still irritated expression. He waited for a bit while putting a pan on the oven top and turning the dial.

"Are you mad?" he sounded like a child asking. Lily's angry expression fell and turned to uncertainty. She looked up into those innocent blue eyes of his and felt horrible.

"It's not you Vrene, I'm just being pissy." She ran a hand through her damp russet hair. He didn't look convinced. So she walked over to him, grabbing up his tail in her left hand and running her right hand through the now clean fur. Her fingers glided through his pelt, up his spine to his half-haired head. Her left hand then idled at the base of his tail, making him let out deep velvety purrs. She made him bow his back and planted a light kiss on his lips.

"Now finish up so we can eat, I'm starving." She smiled and let go of him slowly, trying to harness those dreadful hormones. Vrene's eyes lingered on her form as she left to hide in the living room.

Dusting off her couch, Lily plopped herself on the couch with a sigh. She dug into the cushions to find the remote. With it she turned it on and relaxed back again while waiting for the meat to get done. Cartoons, an unnamed movie, news about the recently missing animal, shopping network, some cooking show...

Recently missing animal? Lily quickly flipped back to it, reading the text at the bottom as the anchorman interviewed a cop. The headline read 'ANIMAL FOUND, CORNERED LATE LAST NIGHT' and the cop seemed to be telling them how he was found and captured. Lily's eyes were glued to the set and her brain seemed to be overloading. Wasn't Vrene that missing animal? If he wasn't, then just what was going on? Who was he? What was he? Oh God, she'd slept with...

"Lily, the meats almost..."

"Vrene we need to talk." Her voice was very calm, but he could feel the anger boiling in her. He would get the brunt of it.
