Shelbi
His leopard is breathtaking. He’s larger than life. His paws are as big as my head. He’s broad all over, much taller and bigger than my cat. Sniffing the air around us, I’m pleased to find our scents mingled together.
“We smell good together,” my cat proudly states. “It’s my turn to lead. You promised,” she whines, initiating an internal eye roll directed at me.
“Yes, and I am going to let you have your time now. But remember, we have to share time equally with our mate.”
“Fine,” she huffs, pouting at me. Pushing my control back, I let her have her way. I’m still aware of everything happening around me. I’m not controlling our movements, it’s as if I’m a bystander; enjoying everything going on. It’s nice to sit back and give way to the pressures and emotional distress of the day. She begins to run and Lux’s leopard gives chase. He leaps over me, and my cat whines. Lifting up her paw, she swipes at his back quarter. He turns around, and his eyes have a yellow ring tinging the blackness of his retinas. Unique. Perfect. Intriguing. The exact opposite of mine. There aren’t enough words in the dictionary to describe or define the essence of the color. After what’s meant to be perceived as a scolding look from his cat, I hiss at him and a smirk forms on his face. His whiskers lift, and his sharp teeth are bared at me. Wanna play, Lux? Let’s play. I jump up, climbing the tree next to us. His head was turned while I did this, checking out the property and sounds of the wild animals surrounding us. When he looks back, unable to see me, I pounce. The impact from the gravitational pull on my form, has me landing on his back with gusto. He loses his footing and falls to his stomach, paws spread wide in front of him. Leaping off his back, I get in front of him and crouch down. My front paws are firmly planted on the ground, my head resting on top of them. My hind end is in the air, tail wagging ninety to nothing.
“Does my pussy want to play?” he asks through our link.
Instead of answering his question through our link, I turn and present my backside to him. Ass still up in the air, tail whooshing in a playful manner. When I feel his teeth sink into my flesh, I whine out and take off for the shrubbery in front of me. “Catch me if you can,” I taunt him.
“There’s nowhere you can run and hide from me, mate. I’ll always find you and catch you,” Lux growls.
“Promises, promises, Lux,” I relentlessly taunt him as I find a hiding spot. I can see him, but he doesn’t appear to know exactly where I am. I watch as he scurries around the bush, my cat lets out a devious snicker. She’s enjoying playing this cat and mouse game with him. I watch as he throws his snout up in the air; trying to find me by using my scent against me. I stay as still as I can while watching him paw the shrubbery surrounding me. My cat wants to pounce, take him off guard; but this is too much fun. We’ve never played freely with another animal, and I didn’t realize until just now, how lonely we’ve actually been. Being lost in my thoughts gives him the upper hand, he finds me, which earns me a nip to my ear. Turning around, I let out a playful hiss then I return the favor; nipping his. When he’s distracted by my bantering action, I then turn, fleeing further into the woods.
Time is meaningless in our animal forms and we continue to frolic and play until the sun is low in the sky. I drop down in front of the creek that is at the back of the property and slake my thirst before I run into the water to roll around. Despite the myths, my leopard loves playing in water and being able to show off for our mate has her ramping up her usual tricks. Not to be outdone, Lux eventually joins me and despite his animal form, I can tell he’s grinning at me. “Let me catch us something to eat,” he says through our link. Warmth encompasses me with his words. No one’s ever hunted for me, and I want to sit back and allow him to fetch food for me; but my cat enjoys the hunt way too much to do so.
“Let’s do it together,” I reply. Since actually meeting him this morning, I want to do everything with him by my side and experience all there is in this world we were brought into.
We leave the water, both of us shaking ourselves off the excess water before he nuzzles into my neck. I shudder at the contact, instinctively knowing that when we’re in our human forms his touch will be explosive, unlike anything I’ve known before. “Absofuckinglutely,” he growls in my head. Dammit, maybe this hearing one another’s thoughts isn’t such a good thing after all! He’s already got an ego the size of Texas and I don’t want my thoughts to amp that up further. “Baby, when we finally connect, you’ll forget anyone who was ever there before,” he states. I hear the promise in his tone and my heartbeat accelerates. What if my touch doesn’t elicit the same response from him? That would be devastating to me.
“Shelbi, everything about you sends an electric current through me. Never worry about the way I’m feeling; it’s always going to forever be about you. All I care about is your safety and happiness.”
“Dammit, Lux. I’m not a swoon type of person, but fuck if you didn’t just make my paws quiver with your words.”
“Don’t share that with too many people, Shelbi. I have a reputation to uphold.” As he says
