The unmistakable sex scent of my prey's filled my home.
It had been some time since I had entertained company. I built this cottage shortly after learning how to manipulate my surroundings. Being so close to the Source made it was easier to create on a grand scale; I had added detail beyond anything I had encountered in Wonderland, and I had the power to make it last. Indeed it was not the home I had lost a lifetime ago, but it was home enough.
My paw found the carpet clothed floor -- sensual, soft, and yielding while thick and comforting at the same time.
"Where are you, little one?" My voice had an edge to it; my hunger was getting the better of me. "I can sense you everywhere. Did you enjoy snooping through my home?" A low growl escaped me. I was not angry; I was strangely glad she had found my simple home captivating enough to divert her attention from the hunt; there was hope there. Perhaps she would not be like the others -- those that only saw a beast.
It was rare for me to entertain, and such diversions had been completely lacking in the last few years. I had hopes that lovely Alice might be willing to assist me in changing this sad state of affairs. I did, after all, enjoy this little visit so far.
"Alice, won't you come out and play?" I knew she was down in my playroom. "I will not harm you; you have my word." I honestly did hope she would come out; I had no intention of harming her. But, in truth, I longed for a gentle touch or a simple human conversation, not one driven by fear of me, pleading as if I was nothing but a mindless ravager of flesh and souls.
"Do you promise?" The faint voice replied from down in my playroom.
"Yes dear, on my honor," I replied, my breath catching in my throat, my hunger for her building as I tried desperately to master it. For some reason, a chat was more important to me than the energy of a hunger-driven coupling. Perhaps loneliness was taking its toll.
"Okay, but will you change back to the woman?" The voice sounded afraid, and I could understand why. My bestial form was... intimidating.
"Yes, my dear, I will." I forced my hunger back down and resumed my human form. Though nude as usual. I then forced myself into something like clothing. "You can come out now."
I waited and heard the sound of bare feet on my steps. Soon she emerged from her hiding place. I gasped at her nudity; it was all I could do to contain my need. She was so beautiful. She wore almost nothing now but a thin strip of fabric that had once been her bloomers. Her right arm held over her chest in an attempt to hide her breasts, but all they succeeded in doing was to press them together and make them more appealing. Her left extended down to cover her dripping center. Her womanly charms now showed the full extent of her arousal. As if the fragrance of her sex did not already tell me.
"Come closer, little one." I smiled as warmly as I could; I honestly wanted to make her feel secure and safe, and with me, she would be.
"May," her voice failed, eyes showing fear, as they flicked to the open door. "may I" she seemed as if she would bolt. I resolved to let her; the forest would bring her back. "Have something to wear?" Her eyes left the door and went to the floor. She moved from one foot to the other, showing her discomfort.
"Alright, little one...." I went to my room upstairs so that she thought I had some wardrobe when in reality, I simply willed the simple robe into existence. I watched them form as if some army of invisible spiders wove them out of air. Then returned to her; she had not moved. I stood behind her, holding the robe out. I took the opportunity to observe her beautiful shape, her strong legs that flared to join her full and rounded bottom, up to a narrow waist, all topped by a beautiful small-busted torso decorated with straw-colored hair. "You are lovely, my dear."
I watched her shiver as my fingers lightly touched her while helping her into the gown.
"I am sorry if I frightened you; I did not intend to; however, I must maintain the borders of my realm, or no one will respect them. You do understand, do you not?" My voice was soft, nonthreatening. I could see her fear had returned; I desired to calm her while building her desire.
"I... s...suppose." her voice stuttered either in fear or excitement; they seemed to compete in equal measure. "Please, may I please return home?" She looked over her left shoulder; it was so adorable that I wanted to rip away her remaining clothing and take her. But I restrained myself.
"My dear, please stay with me for tea, then if you wish to return to your old life," I took a deep breath; it was something I did not wish to say, I could feel my loneliness weighing more heavily than I could remember, "I will see you home myself." I took another breath, "This I vow."
Alice knew that Wonderland would hold me to my vow; she relaxed, even smiled.
"Might I have a dress?" She held the flimsy robe tightly around her; it disguised nothing.
"I may have one," I smiled, and this time I created it in her presence, a beautiful frock of the finest silk as I could remember it, with lines and collar to compliment her and a color to match her eyes. "I hope you like it."
"It is beautiful!" She took it, holding it up as if it were a magnificent prize, forgetting her robe, which hinted at the beauty it lightly disguised. "But have you nothing for me to wear under?" She blushed now; I knew the gown would complement her better with nothing.
"It is too warm for undergarments, my dear, wear the dress, we shall have tea, then if you decide to leave, I will create all the things you require." I bowed as deeply as I recalled gentlemen did when meeting a lovely lady, "Pray use my rooms to change; they are at the top of the stair, I shall prepare tea."
