"My King..." A seductive voice purred as a finger trailed down Kelevi's bare chest.
Kelevi's eyes fluttered open from where he lay across the throne in the halls of the Blood Claw palace.
Kelevi's gaze roved across the hall, settling on Lord Terin who was accompanied by two of his pets, both females, beautiful and well endowed,
Endowments which Kelevi could see quite clearly as both females were dressed in strips of clothing that barely covered their privates.
Kelevi then tilted his head to the female at his side who was almost completely bare, his gaze narrowing in displeasure as her bountiful bosom grazed over his arm.
He had entered a state of meditation to fully rid himself of the after effects of his blood haze and calm his hunting instincts enough so his fangs receded and he could regain his human form.
Hence although he had sensed when Terin had arrived with other strange scents, he had not paid much attention to it initially till he had caught a thick scent of arousal.
Kelevi frowned deeply, his nose twitching as the arousal of the three females in the hall fed his hunting instincts, laying to waste the calm he had worked so hard to regain.
Kelevi felt his fangs elongating once again, he had been interrupted by the sudden appearance of his beloved only a short while after he had begun feeding and so he had not had his fill yet,
After so many months of depriving himself of his body's most essential need, it was more difficult than it usually would be for him to control his urges.
"What is this, Terin?" Kelevi asked in a dark tone as his tongue grazed over his elongated fangs.
"A calming offering..." Lord Terin replied with a smirk.
"Of course, she is unclaimed and unmarked, just as My King prefers your pets to be." Lord Terin added.
Kelevi took a whiff of her scent and realized she was indeed unmarked and unclaimed and the sound of her heartbeats and the blood flowing through her veins called to him irresistibly,
Kelevi bit his lip slightly as his hunger was awakened and a low hiss escaped his lips.
The female's arousal spiked, probably mistaking Kelevi's hunger for arousal and desire for her and she leaned in even closer to Kelevi.
"I am yours to claim, My King. Take me as you please." The female purred.
"She has also been taught the arts of pleasure, she will see to My King's every need." Lord Terin said as he took a seat, watching Kelevi's struggle in amusement.
"You should know that I do not mark pets...I do not keep them either." Kelevi stated in a distasteful tone.
"I know, but My King has the strongest blood haze of all the Fanged, it will do you no good to deprive yourself of your body's needs. You have gone months without blood, you need to feed uninterrupted and of course...with reckless abandon."
"Sexual intimacy is part and parcel of feeding, you know you will only achieve full satisfaction when both needs are simultaneously taken care of." Lord Terin reminded.
"The satisfaction I need is for me to decide, I will not bed the female Terin or any other you send my way and I only do not take offence because I consider you a dear friend." Kelevi warned.
Lord Terin sighed as he rose to his feet and walked up to Kelevi.
"My King, this is the mortal realm, you have already had one hunt go awfully wrong...you will need a pet who can provide you nourishment without hassle and many of the clan females are fighting for that spot."
"As you can see, even my pets lust for you, I will not be a friend to you if I allow you to cause yourself harm."
"You are King of the Fanged Kelevi, this is your identity, do not deny your nature. You need nourishment, if only for now until your return to the Fanged Realm with the Queen." Lord Terin reasoned.
Kelevi heaved a sigh, he knew Lord Terin was correct.
This was the mortal realm, denying himself of his body's need was a foolish endeavor, he needed blood, that was just it.
And because he was King, he needed a lot of it, if he deprived himself more than what his resistance could handle, he would only end up making himself a threat to vulnerable mortals.
His blood haze had already gotten him in a tight situation with his beloved, it was clear hunting was not an option he could take out here in the mortal realm.
Or at least he would have to be more careful about it.
Kelevi groaned in resignation as his hand shot out, pulling the female into his lap, his eyes glowing a dim red.
The female tilted her head to the side, exposing her fragile neck to Kelevi,
Kelevi hissed as he dipped his head down, his fangs sinking into the female's fragile neck,
Warm blood pooled into his mouth, the liquid delight spurring his hunger as he dipped his fangs even further,
The female released a shuddering breath, low moans and whimpers escaping her as Kelevi drank his fill of her blood.
Kelevi felt her body shudder in his arms and he knew the female was close to her climax, the female clung closer to him and slowly began gyrating her hips,
Her dripping pleasure trove grazed against the rough texture of his breeches, she kept a steady pace, giving herself the pressure she needed to reach her peak,
And with a loud moan, she orgasmed in his arms, whimpering in delight.
Her hips still moved, riding out the waves of her orgasm and Kelevi let the female take her pleasure from him, it was all he would allow, his breeches soaked up her essence as he retracted his fangs.
He grazed a tongue over the mark left behind by his fangs, watching as it closed up and the female gasped as another orgasm ripped through her, incited by his healing toxin,
She collapsed weakly in Kelevi's arms and Kelevi frowned slightly as she held unto him, her cheek nuzzling tenderly into his chest.
"Let me be yours My King... please make me yours." The female pleaded.
Meanwhile all the thoughts that clouded Kelevi's mind was that of his breathtakingly beautiful mate and that look of terror in her eyes when she had laid eyes on him feeding.
Kelevi could not help but wonder, what would his mate think if she were to see him now? And the thought of it ached Kelevi's heart terribly.
"Leave." Kelevi ordered in a chilling cold tone, unfazed when the female whimpered pitifully and scampered off his lap.
"I...I spoke out of turn, forgive me, My King." The female pleaded desperately, daring a teary eyed gaze up to Kelevi.
Kelevi rose to his feet and strode out of the hall, not sparing the sobbing female another glance.
Kelevi knew if he did, it would only get more difficult for her to let go of him, his toxin would enforce the attachment to him as her body would acknowledge him as her master even before he placed a mark.
The connection between a pet and a master involved tender feelings and attachments, feelings Kelevi could not muster for anyone else...his heart belonged to her only...to his beloved, Kaylani.
