Amaretto knew she fucked up with Nic. I could see it in her eyes as she dangled in the lioness’s hand. The cheetah made a move but miscalculated who her opponent was to her detriment. Now to have me sitting here with this face on, she was trying to pull every trick she had out of her ass. It would be fun to see what she’d come up with, but I was bored now and wanted my Neko’s attention all to myself for a little while.
“Are you going to answer me?” I pressed, my voice cool and detached.
She sniffed and wiped at her eyes as if she’d actually shed tears—amateur move, Retto. Never draw attention to the fact you don’t truly feel the emotions you’re pretending to have. Shifting to curl her feet under her, she leaned forward as if to touch my arm. Then a hand came out of nowhere, moving so fast, fisting a chunk of hair, then dragged Retto away from me.
“Don’t you fucking touch him, you cunt,” Nic snarled. “To touch what is mine will get you killed. Do you understand me?”
True fear registered in Amaretto’s eyes as the full force of Nicolette’s lioness slammed into the cheetah.
“No… that can’t be.”
“Oh, but it is,” Nic taunted. “You will have this one warning from me. The next time you bleed. Nine, Rambler, Circus, Dice, Marco, and Polo, belong to me. If I even catch a whiff of your stank in the air around them, I will fucking gut you. Don’t worry, though. I’ll make sure not to take it too far since no one will be there to heal you.”
I shivered at her threat, my cock swelling and pressing against my jeans, begging for me to do something with it. To hear her claim me, claim us to the point she would spill blood, almost had me climaxing. The mental picture of her triumphant face as she dolled out the punishment she had just promised had me groaning. What would it feel like to fuck her in the blood that would be splattered on the floor when she was done? The blood that showed the whole pride, fuck it, the world she owned us. God, I wanted that so bad I couldn’t hold back any longer.
Dropping to my knees, I freed my cock and started to stroke it. Eyes closed, losing myself in the fantasy that I’d made for myself, I came fast and hard. “Fuck,” I cried out, arching my back as I thrust into my own hand. Panting, I opened my eyes and found Nicolette standing over me, arms crossed and my cum all over her legs and feet.
“Having a good time?” she asked, a smirk on her lips. “Tell me, what did it for you? The dominance or the threat?”
“The claiming,” I answered, eyes half-lidded still in a state of bliss. “And the fact you would back it up with pain and blood…”
“Just how deep does the combination of needs go for you?”
I hummed, cocking my head as I thought about the answer to that question. “Soul deep. To the point that I must inflict it on others or myself. However, I find it’s so much better to have someone do it to me, but finding a partner is hard.”
She nodded in understanding as she reached out a hand to me, which I took and kissed, then let go when she tried to pull me to my feet. “Is there a reason you want to stay here in the hall?”
“If a person makes a mess, then they should clean it up,” I answered before leaning forward and running my tongue along the skin of her leg, cleaning off my cum. “It would be rude to just leave it for someone else to deal with, don’t you think, Neko?”
A shuddering breath was my only answer as I continued to lick every trace of my cum off her. Now she was going to have my scent on her for a good long fucking time unless she used the special soap, which I would ensure there was none in any of our apartments on this floor. I hoped it wouldn’t become an issue, but Nine could go fuck himself if he thought he could force her to remove every scent but his.
Once clean, I let my hands glide up her legs, over her ass, then hugged her hips as I stood. “Where did Amaretto slink off to?”
A low smoldering heat could be seen in her expression from my touch. “The fuck away from here, hopefully never to return to this floor.”
Hearing her claim me and this space was intoxicating, and as much as I would love to fuck Nic’s brains out right now, I wanted to wrap her up in my arms and take a nap in the afternoon sunshine far more.
“Will you take a nap with me?” I asked, running my nose along hers. “Please say yes.”
“That sounds like a fantastic idea.”
I smiled so wide my face hurt. Snatching up the clothes I’d brought, I grabbed her hand, shut Nine’s door, and raced to my apartment two doors down. The sound of Nic’s laugh as she played along practically gave me wings. Kicking in my own door, not wanting to waste the time remembering where the fuck I put my keys, I yanked her into my home. Then I slapped the door closed, or as closed as it would be with the damage I’d inflicted, and stripped out of my clothes.
“What—” Nic started to ask, but I grabbed the back of her head and slammed my lips to hers.
Seconds later, she had her hands wrapped around the back of my head, holding me in place as we tongue fucked each other. Now that I had her completely distracted and off balance, I tore my mouth away and yanked down her boxers. Then went the shirt, but I paused a second when it came to the sports bra, then shrugged and used a claw to slice it off. We had more she could wear, and if we ran out, I’d buy her more. Gloriously naked, I scooped her up, tossed her over my shoulder, and gave her perfect ass a slap.
“Hey,” she yelped, wriggling a little. “I thought you said we’d take a nap?”
“We are.”
“Then I think we have very different concepts of what a nap is,” she sassed as she smacked my ass with both hands.
I paused, my whole body shivering with pleasure at the sting. “If you do that, I might drop you,” I warned. “Trust me for another moment, and I’ll prove we’re going to take a nap.”
Entering my bedroom, I smiled at the mound of golden-colored silk pillows and soft blankets that made up my bed. It was like sleeping in a fucking cloud. I’d also had a massive window put in right above the bed so that it would be showered in sunlight at the right time, making it glow with its warmth.
Once I climbed into the mass, I dropped Nicolette dead center and watched her take in where she was.
