Chapter 67: Comprehensive Claw Care.
Chris looked up at the giant Alpha Matriach Claw looming over him and he had never felt so vulnerable in his life, he still couldn't truly believe that this was happening to him, never in his life had he ever imagined looking at another species other than his own in the way he was currently looking at Vess right now, but somehow he just couldn't help it.
It was like the simple exposure to this incredible team of people and their way of life had not only opened his eyes to what was actually possible and permissible but also his soul along with it.
Somehow he felt like a part of his soul had just been clicked into place like it had been missing his entire life and he'd never truly known it or understood it, but now as he felt his eyes keep magnetizing to Vess's incredibly long and awesomely powerful tail and they followed those scale covered rippling muscles right the way up to her surprisingly curved and delightfully feminine rear end which was hidden beneath it he felt it making its presence really known to him.
It was like every fibre of her being simply called to him, yes he knew she was a supremely powerful and dangerous apex predator and not just that but an incredibly dominant female, but none of that was repulsive to him, all his life he had been told he was a man and he was supposed to be the one in control and the one doing the protecting but he was very swiftly realizing that all this time there was part of him that was hidden in the shadows of his mind yearning to break free that simply yearned to not only surrender his control to another but to let them protect him while he served them.
Now that wasn't to say that he secretly yearned to be some kind of slave or to be beaten down or humiliated, or indeed anything like that, but he kinda liked the idea of being solely responsible for the pleasure and joy of an incredibly powerful woman who would in return protect him and take care of him.
The fact that he had given Vess his word to serve her meant a lot to him, to Chris giving someone your word meant a lot, he had been raised to believe that if you gave someone your word that you kept it no matter what even if it costs you your life because it was the measure of a person, you were only as trustworthy and honourable as your word and Chris had never broken his word to anyone, not once and he was not about to begin now.
But having said that he was incredibly happy that Vess had accepted his take on their agreement, equals stood together shoulder to hip, but away from prying eyes and in the privacy of their bedroom she had said that he would serve her and he couldn't deny to himself that the thought of giving up his control to this surprisingly beautiful female really did turn him on, the fact that a being so powerful would not only look at him but actively wanted him and his attentions actually warmed his very soul.
"Ok so given that my niece informs me that this human equipment is actually a bathing pool but I have no idea how to operate it and she also tells me that it is heated so I would like to experience it warm, so fill the pool and we can begin the executive claw wash that I have been promised," Vess said in a commanding voice.
Chris nodded and then hesitated slightly as something clicked into his mind, "Umm sure ok but it is it ok if it's just warm and not hot? My skin is very sensitive and I can't make it hot as I get scalded easily" he said in a soft and rather embarrassed voice as he was forced to admit to the weakness that he'd had since he was a baby, his skin was incredibly sensitive to various things like chemicals and heat.
He couldn't help but hang his head as a feeling of shame washed over him despite it not really being his fault, suddenly Vess's large claw-tipped fingers appeared below his chin and she lifted his head so that he was forced to look at her as she lowered her head so she was looking right into his eyes and he felt his heart lurch in his chest as the primal part of his brain started screeching that he was in danger.
"Of course that is acceptable, I would never do anything that makes you feel pain or will result in you being harmed, I am NOT that kind of claw!" she growled sending shivers throughout his entire body, never in his life had he heard a declaration of care sound like a threat before.
"Thank you my alpha," he said almost out of pure instinct and Vess growled deeply while swishing her long thick luscious tail.
"I love it when you call me that so when we are together like this in private I want you to call me that from now on understood?" she said and he nodded making her growl again.
"Good very well then carry on and get this bathing pool started," she said gesturing with her large hand to the massive bath.
Chris moved over to the bath and moved around it, the way this thing was set up it was set into the floor and was designed to be a large deep multi person bath and not exactly designed for Claws but given its size and depth it would be pretty perfect for Vess, she wouldn't be able to fully submerge but it would do very nicely for someone of her size.
The taps were of a huge bore to be able to fill it quickly and thanks to the town's filtered water supply that ran off a massive industrial purifier that the town's people had not only salvaged but rebuilt to clean out any rads Chris knew that the water was clean and as pure as it could be these days.
The house itself had a massive boiler that ran off one of the fusion core generators that used the fusion core batteries like Seven's suit ran off in the basement, so when he turned the large taps the water poured out like an industrial fire hose so that it didn't take hours to fill it.
"Would you like me to add some of the bath oils my alpha?" Chris asked looking at the selection of bath oils all sitting in a variety of coloured bottles all lined up in a neat little row.
