Thread: Collared by a necklace (Payne/Ookami)

Fen had to admit that he was mildly surprised by how trusting the girl seemed. Sure hed just saved her from two bumbling men, but even then, Fen had expected the girl to at least show some reluctance. For a second he thought he saw some warmth in her jaded eyes, an appreciation towards not being left alone. But Fen concluded it was just her fear of being left alone being abated. She probably didnt want to spend a second longer with him, since surely a girl like her had family. No normal girl could have afforded to walk around this late at night wearing something that looked so expensive. Furthermore, Fen was convinced that Lillian was taken. Most likely by some ugly little human male that had no idea what he had. You seem awfully calm for someone who just got chased down by strangers common occurrence? he asked casually, quietly following behind her, careful to keep a fair distance from her just in case she felt intimidated by his presence. He had no idea why he was being so careful with the human. She was just some stupid girl hed come across late at night, and whether she got raped or killed on her way home shouldnt have bothered him at all. No need for thanks, Ill be taking my due payment he grumbled, scowling to hide his discomfort. He could count the number of times hed been thanked on one hand over the past twenty something years. Though that wasnt really surprising seeing as how he usually didnt interact this much with humans, nevermind actually doing something worth their gratitude. He only grunted is acknowledgement at hearing her name. Figuring the girl didnt really care to know his. Even if Lillian had asked for it Fen probably would have refused. And hence if there was a cue to respond in the remark it went untouched. His name wasnt all that secretive in his opinion, and he could probably be identified as the only fox furry in the area. But there was no point in making Lillians job easier and giving her a name to identify him if she planned to hand him over to authorities under false charges. After all, hed seen and heard of plenty of cases where humans lied and betrayed eachother. Lost in thought, he hadnt really been paying too much attention to their surroundings as he walked, somewhat surprised when they came to a lone solitary mansion. A rather notable front entrance, and a fair bit of distance between the mansion and any other residential building, if Fen wanted, he could probably torture the girl to death slowly and her screams wouldnt be picked up by her neighbourhood. He wished the same thing could be said about the girls parents, which he assumed were naively tucked away in bed, completely oblivious to the fact their daughter wasnt even home. Fen actually took a step back as they reached the front door, and Lillian offered to let him stay the night. His golden eyes widening in bewilderment for a second before narrowing slightly and glaring at her suspiciously. He should have been suspicious the moment she accepted his offer, but it had taken until now for him to realize how friendly the girl seemed to be getting. There was always the possibility that she thought a night at her needlessly large estate would be compensation enough, but for some reason Fen doubted that. A low rumble emitted from the back of his throat as he leapt forward, piercing the air with his hand before swishing past Lillians head, and slamming on the front door behind her. You must be stupid he growled, annoyed without really knowing why. I save you cute hide once and youre offering to let me stay the night? If you werent so senseless you probably wouldnt have needed saving tonight. His face dangerously close to hers, he could literally hear her heart beating, and her warm pleasantly scented breath breathing directly against his muzzle. The pleasant sensation causing him to flinch before grinning lewdly. Or are you doing it intentionally? Surely even a girl like you realize what youre offering by asking me if I want to stay a night? his tone was soft but dangerous, his free hand sneaking out and trailing along her shoulder, feeling her arm more sensually this time, it wasnt a grab or squeeze, but a slow trailing sensual touch that was feeling her up.
