Four nights had passed since he visited that human girl. Four nights, during which he had tasted more than his share of the fairer sex. Ah, and they were delightful, but they were not her. Their scents and flavors were different.
It was possible for him to find some similarities, such as hair and eye color. In his mind, it was no different than owning a doll which resembled the one you desire.
He was disappointed with himself for wanting her. A master should desire his pet to some extent, but not to where all others paled in comparison. It was not in his nature to only possess one pet, it was demeaning to his status. But at the moment, he had no need for others. After all, he had not finished with the first one.
During the moon of the fifth night, he decided it was time to return to her. She had waited for him long enough, his visit was due.
Kai saw her sleeping when he approached her window. He tried the glass and was pleased when he found it unlocked. Of course, it would not be locked against him. It was a pet's nature to wait for her master's return. He remained at the window, perfectly still, studying the curves and features of the innocent creature that lay resting before his eyes.
Though he liked to think it, patience was not his greatest virtue. Within moments, he had slipped through the threshold and loomed over her, seeing if his entrance had disturbed her sleep.
It had not, she remained as she was.
Slipping beside her, he took a moment to bring his face to her hair, catching her scent as though this simple act would be enough to satisfy him. She stirred then, but did not wake. It only alerted her to his presence on a subconscious level and she snuggled against him as though they were lovers. He allowed this to occur, if only so he could feel her body against his. He wondered then how much he could get away with without rousing her. Deciding to test this, he ran his hand beneath the covers and came into contact with the flesh of her thigh. It was smooth, as he imagined it would be.
Finally, he brought his lips to her cheek and whispered against her flesh, "Dira. Your master has returned."
Still, she remained unresponsive.
"Tell me, would you remain asleep and risk angering me?" His hand moved further up her thigh, hoping the contact would cause her to become alert.
After what seemed to him like an eternity, her eyes fluttered open and she attempted to speak.
"Kai,"
He put a hand to her mouth and gripped her thigh with the intention to cause her slight discomfort.
"You should know better by now," he growled against her, "Do not speak unless I bid you to do so."
