“I’m going to work here?” I asked, swallowing thickly. I liked sex but they always said that making your joy your work ruined the thing. Plus…did I really want to bed strangers? Have someone pay to be in between my legs and have little say in who that person was? I didn’t know.
This had been a hasty, terrible idea and happened so fast and so shortly ago that I still grasped onto the idea that it could be undone. I opened my mouth to ask to take it back, but no words came out.
Suddenly, a shadowed shape appeared. A large cat slipped around the edges of the room growing so large its head brushed the ceiling. I sucked in a breath but then quickly the shape faded and a man stepped out from the shadows.
No, not a man.
I gasped, trying to take a step back and falling into his desk. Cheshire’s smile was wide, showing the sharpened teeth of a carnivore. He looked even more villainous in this form, with a handsome human face and a cat that ate the canary expression. Except I was the canary, the pleased glint in his eyes making it obvious I was already captured prey as he stalked closer.
Tall, muscled, and shaped like a man, but blue as he always was with thin fur over him. Cat ears twitched atop his head and a tail hung an inch above the floor as he stalked closer.
A whine left my mouth as I realised he was naked. His thick cock jutted up between his hips, the white fur at the base giving way to pink flesh revealed by his staggering erection. My legs shook and wetness collected between my legs.No, I thought in my head. Don’t be attracted to him. He’s vile. He’s evil. He just blackmailed you into being his employee.
“You’re a man,” I said as he invaded my space with no hesitation. I gasped, practically climbing on his desk to get away, lifting onto the top and scrambling to get any distance I could.
His face came in close, his smile much too wide to look normal or human. And his eyes, they were a cat’s—vertical slits that tightened an inch from my face. He had teeth so sharp they could rip into me with ease.
“Stop,” I gasped, unsure what I was asking him to stop doing exactly. Existing?
“You’re mine now, Alice,” he purred my name slowly, hissing at the end. The sound crawled up my legs and tried to bury between them.
He smiled, he always smiled, but now he did so in a way that felt knowing. As if my instant desire were painted in stripes on my skin.
“You look flushed,” he said, his face moving to my neck, sniffing at it like an animal finding something interesting.
“What am I going to do here? Will I…” I didn’t even know where to start with my questions. He raised an eyebrow.
“Will you what?” He asked, flashing his sharp teeth.
“You said I get a room,” I finally managed to get out. I needed to handle this situation one small task at a time. He said I got room and board. If I could just get away from him for a moment I could start to comprehend what I’d done and start to deal with it.
“You’re in it,” he said and my eyes widened.
“Isn’t this your room?”
“How astute,” he offered, his eyes lazily sliding from my face down to my chest, then continuing a languid trail between my legs before coming back up. I’d never felt so conscious of my body in all my life as he looked me over.
“I don’t understand,” I said, swallowing thickly. But that wasn’t true. I understood. He had said it.
I washis.
The breath rushed out of me as it sank in. That the hard cock pressing against my dress wanted inside me,wouldbe inside me. Cheshire himself was going to smile wildly down at me as he rutted between my legs.
“I think you get it,” he said with a laugh as my face blossomed with even more heat. He leaned in, pressing his mouth to my throat. There was a warm release of air against the sensitive skin as his teeth scratched at me. I whimpered as he grabbed my dress, his blue hands edged with sharp talons that tore into the fabric as he pulled me closer.
I didn’t fight him. Cheshire had a power over me that I was not aware of until this fateful moment. It was a power I’d never known anyone could have over me. I wouldn’t push him away. I wouldn’t tell him to stop.Because I didn’t want to.
It terrified me because this was not the creature to give oneself to that completely. He’d destroy me. And yet, I yearned to bend to his will. To let him sink his teeth and claws into me until I was unrecognisable.
I had no idea where these feelings were coming from, how they’d suddenly developed. It was alarming and confusing.
“You’re vile, “ I rasped as he ran his nose up my neck and into my hair.
“Oh, I do love it when you say that to me,” he said, his thin pupils growing wider.
“You beast. I hate you,” I went on and he only held my dress tighter, the fabric tearing more as if he was ripping it off me at a tortuously slow pace. Every insult I flung at him only made his pupils grow even wider, his smile never failing. I looked down at his cock pressed to my skirts, leaking now.
“You’re sick,” I hissed.
