Dear reader. All the characters in this story are over 18. I dedicate this chapter to my beloved Helen.
The Beast Runs Wild
The Beast within me fought for freedom while I struggled to restrain it. If the contest were lost, the Beast would send my beautiful guest away screaming. An outcome I desperately wanted to avoid.
My struggle raged as I watched Alice in her own battle with her frock; clearly, she was used to a lady's maid, I had forgotten I had helped her put it on, and the dress I had created for her was not easily removed alone, but all I could do was watch her fight, it was so... erotic.
Coming to my senses, I moved up to her, my hands trembling, the Beast screaming to rip the clothing from her body. The animal tamer within me pushed the Beast back, using the chair of my patience and the whip of my loneliness to keep it at bay.
I found myself behind my guest, my hands holding her shoulders; I could not help but smile at her urgency; clearly, she was fighting her own Beast, she trembled as I kissed her shoulders.
"Alice, I want you more than I can say, but you are innocent, and I fear that I may lose my restraint...." My whispered words drew a shiver from the beautiful creature at my fingertips.
I wanted her to want this... to honestly want
me
as I was... but with wide-open eyes. I desired she come to me as a lover, not just a conquest. However, as slow and tender as I wanted to be, I was not confident I could keep the Beast collared much longer. I desperately desired her, but more, I prayed for her to
want
to stay.
"Don't you yearn for me?" Her voice was that of a young girl asking if papa loved her. It broke my heart. I resolved to show her, and the Beast fought to break loose, but I still held its leash, if only by my fingertips.
"Will you please lay with me? Make me yours? Please, will you take me?" She whispered into my ear, her head nestled close, her breath hot on my neck, its heat burned the leash to ash.
"Yes!" I roared and tore the dress from neck to hem, shredding the last barrier concealing her body. I did not care what I would have to create tomorrow; I wanted her tonight.
I feared and expected a scream of terror, but to my shocked ears, I heard the tinkling of crystal chimes... the music of her laughter, the sounds of pure joy.
"Oh, Gaawwwd Yess!" Alice turned and threw her arms around my neck, leaping into mine, her lips desperately seeking me. "Please take me!" She moaned into my mouth. Her need filled my nostrils, and her heat seared me even through my own summer dress.
Her desire was burning her, but she was a virgin, and I did not wish to ruin her first experience with an over ardent ravishment. So, I kissed and hugged and whispered and nibbled my way around this beautiful girl's body. Her breasts were perfection, large enough to entice but firm with youth and topped with pink and stiffening dark red peaks; the mere sight of them caused my breath to catch and my heart to pound.
My fur began to sprout; I could restrain the Beast no longer; it was free inside me but how it demanded to be seen, heard, and felt.
"Alice," I started in hesitation, "I am afraid I cannot...."
She took my face between her beautiful hands, "It is alright, I have seen you before, remember?" The earnestness of her eyes and the set of her jaw told me that I must be what I must. The Beast did not care whether it was sated in its complete form -- as long as it was fed.
I felt the change continue from foot to head as I gained further height over the object of my desire, I now towered fully a foot or more over her lovely head, and she was forced to crane her neck to meet my eyes. I bent down and kissed her, my fangs pressing into my lips; I tried to shield her from their sting and my ardor. I could withdraw my claws, I could cover my fangs, but my tail had a mind of its own, running up and down the girl's back, softly caressing and tenderly exploring every crevice and nook of her delicious body.
My clothing melted, becoming my half form's hair and fur-covered body; fine blonde fur covered my belly and breasts. The blonde hair of my head cascaded down my back in waves in shades from flaxen to gold which blended into the coat that covered my back. The hair and fur ran down over my bottom, covering my thighs and calves, then to my paws. To most eyes, I still appeared human but half-cat, with whiskers, feline eyes, and ears, but not yet my full form for which there would be no doubt. Others had seen me thus and been horrified, and I was afraid of what I would know if I looked into my love's eyes. As I turned to her, I caught a reflection in my mirror; it manifested my fear and shame; I indeed was a true beast, a monster. I took a deep breath, terrified of her reaction; then I looked into her eyes.
What I saw was open hunger and... love?
My heart exploded.
I scooped her naked body up into my arms and laid her upon my bed. Time slowed as I gazed upon her; I sensed the perfume of my gardens flowing upon the breeze. A breeze that ruffled the linen sheers over the windows carried the scents of the fruit trees and roses that filled my bedroom. I relished the gentle evening light of the moon's soft glow; my magical lanterns dancing light blended illuminated her body in a blanket of color that made love to her skin and hair, which now spread upon my snow-white pillows.
I settled next to her and kissed her gently, and purred.
As her hands wrapped around my neck, "Make love to me, my big kitty, take me for your own." She kissed me, and I felt her open herself to me; her thighs were now wide to me, her heat so intense I could feel it on my cheek.
"As you wish, my darling." I wanted her to remember me forever, even as I would lose her tomorrow. I licked her flesh from the neck downward, my tongue scraping its way over her silky-smooth skin, as it is rough; after all, I am a cat.
"Oh, my love." Her eyes were closed, head tossed back and forth, arms stretching up to reach the ironwork of the headboard, hands grasping and holding fast.
