My claws flexed against her skin, then retracted immediately as shame washed over me. The urge to claim her was strong, but I needed to let her focus.
Her scent filled my antennae. She was oblivious to how close I was to losing control. I released more pheromones involuntarily, then cursed myself for it. She deserved better than this monster I had forgotten was a side of me, yet I couldn't stop my body's betrayal even as I despised it.
Kassie kept her eyes on the screen, mercifully unaware I could just take a bite of her.
There was an explosion on the screen.
And chaos.
And… there was so much blood.
I hope I didn’t kill humans before I became sane because I found it very disturbing.
Later that night, thankfully, I was graced with resting my dick inside her body. She called this cockwarming. I didn’t care what she called it, but if that was the only way I could stay close to her, I would take what I could get.
I never grew soft, and while she slept, I would end up gyrating my hips softly only to come into her again. I tried to keep my groans of pleasure to a minimum, but even she was moaning in her sleep, grasping onto the fur around my neck.
By Night, I was a terrible male for her. Kassie was so beautiful and thoughtful. I think she realized how hard it was for me to give up time with her, so she could do her job. I knew it was important, but I swore to Night, I would find this TeaBagTitan and dispose of him after the game.
After I took a picture with my phone, I sent it to the mayor. Anything suspicious, even when a person has a special interest in another person in the town, must be reported. I would takecare of this male myself, but I wouldn’t know the first place to look.
I knew who might help. Wild Slendermen still roamed the forests beyond town limits, untamed and hungry for information. They would track this TeaBagTitan for me, whispering his location through the trees.
I would not tolerate anyone talking ill of my female.
My wings had disappeared from sight as they faded away from around Kassie. The sun barely peeked through the window. Kassie was still asleep, her breaths deep and even. I carefully extracted myself from her, trying not to wake her. She muttered something incoherent and rolled over, hugging a pillow to her chest. I felt a pang of envy towards that pillow, but I had things to do.
As I finally rolled off the bed, satisfied with myself for not waking her. I tripped over a pillow and fell face-first on the floor.
Well, fuck. That noise would have woken the whole house.
I knew I was only meant for flying, none of this land stuff.
I stood up quickly to check on Kassie, but she hadn’t moved a muscle.
I brushed myself off, then snatched my clothes from the chair and dressed quickly. My phone buzzed in my jeans pocket. The mayor had responded with only a thumbs-up emoji and a tree. Typical. His cryptic messages always left me with more questions than answers. Still, I needed to ensure this TeaBagTitan wouldn't become a problem for Kassie anymore.
I slipped out of the room, leaving Kassie to her dreams. I hoped they were good ones, filled with flowers and frolicking animals, Mothman sex…
Downstairs, I found Harlow already up and about, nursing a cup of coffee. She looked up as I entered the kitchen, her eyes soft. "Morning, Atlas," she said. "Sleep well?"
I shrugged, not sure how to answer that. I was horny, ready to claim my match, and I had yet to tell Kassie about any of that. "Kassie's still asleep," I said, avoiding her question.
She nodded. "She needs her rest. Big day today." She paused, then added, "You're good for her, you know. She's always been so focused on her games, it's nice to see her have something... someone... else in her life."
I felt a warmth spread through me at her words. I liked Harlow, as quirky as she was. She treated me like a person, not a monster. But I still wasn't sure how to respond to her, so I just nodded and mumbled, "Thanks."
After a quick breakfast, I slipped out of the house and into the woods. I needed to find the Slenderman, and I had a feeling I knew where to look. He liked the dark, the dense foliage, the silence.
Which was odd because I think he liked Harlow, and she was the opposite of that.
The forest was alive with morning sounds, birds chirping, leaves rustling. I moved quietly, my feet barely disturbing the undergrowth.
It didn't take long to find what I was looking for. A tall, thin figure stood among the trees, its body swaying slightly, like a sapling in the wind. His suit was black, his tie red, his face... blank. I approached and chirped in greeting.
“We have a problem,” the mayor said.
I tilted my head in confusion. “Could you not find the human?”
