Tell Me You Love Me

A short story of a young girl and her were-tiger who has a large streak of jealousy

Frankie threw her bag across the room as she went on a complete rampage to find the damned were-cat, for the love of God he had scared off yet another set of friends she had made. As long as she could remember since she had found the lost little kitten, wait no, were-tiger, he had become overly protective that even she found it borderline obsessive. Racing up the stairway, she heard the all too familiar loud purring of a the damned feline, her allergies kicking into full throttle as she kicked open the door to reveal a tiger lying down and playing with a ball of string. "Eiki Yachigusa!" Grabbing a squeaky toy besides her she hauled it at him, she watched as the tiger instantly jumped towards the ball, it's fur suddenly mutating to flesh, a paw forming into a human hand and catching the circular object. "You're home master," Eiki took one long stride and practically almost pounced her, his face rubbing into hers as his cat ears itched her skin. Frankie threw up her hands and pushed him off as she went into a sneezing flurry, "you damned cat! ACHOO! THE HELL--ACHOO! Were you doing scaring ACHOO! My friends?!"

She raised a fist and bonked him hard between his ears, a hand coming up to her face as she sneezed even harder as she backed out of the cat hair infested room, "do you realize that everyone doesn't want to even come within a one mile radius of me because I have a 'psychotic animal' boyfriend threatening to rip people apart if they even touch me?" She was mad as hell, I mean for f**k's sake, it was hard enough with all her schooling and her part time job to even have leisure time to hang out with friends. Now she didn't have friends because they were too terrified to be around her because of this dipshit. "Eiki, I don't know where in your brain you think that every ounce of my time has to revolve around you, but it does not!"

Eiki's ears flicked back at her tone, a slight bit of remorse in his eyes as he slowly refocused his gaze to strike back into her own scrutiny, "I'm sorry master, it's just that I get really lonely without you... And I really just want to be with you all the time." The were-tiger stalked closer to Frankie, his arms encircling her as he brought his lips near her mouth, "was that the words you wanted to hear master? Because I'm far from being sorry."

With a fluid motion the feline took her hand in his own, and let his thumb caress the top of her knuckles. A soft growl erupted from Eiki as he licked the lining of his thin lips. Raising the woman's hand to his mouth his tongue gently flicked against the tips of Frankie's fingers. His fangs grazing slightly at the soft grooves of her skin, pricking ever so lightly into the tissue, the delectable scent of human life infiltrating his senses. The aromatic essence coddled his mind and ignited the hunger inside his soul, "you haven't been so kind to me lately..." he stated as a tear drop of viscous crimson peeked out from the cut he made with his canines. "I believe a little teasing on my behalf should be inflicted," he lapped at the vermilion wine of her fingers, drawing in her digits carefully into the calidity of his mouth. Eiki let a devilish smirk dominate his features as he watched her emotions on display. It was evident she was enjoying the torture of his ministrations, Frankie's face turning the brightest shade of red, her breaths becoming uneven. He could hear her heart beating rapidly, he wanted her to scream. With a chuckle he continued to let his tongue playfully toy with each finger, the needle sharp teeth coaxing more lacerations onto her hands as he greedily sucked.   

Frankie immediately withdrew her hand from his grasp, cradling her fingers close to her chest as scowl glossed over her face. "You a*****e, don't just do as you please!" She barked at him, her eyes flaring with irritation and embarrassment from his actions. Turning away from him quickly she began to make an exit for the door, her heart hammering away at her chest as she tried to escape. "That's not fair honey!" Frankie froze as she felt his arms surround her, his lips teasing the shell of her ear as he whispered in a provocative tone. "You haven't fed me today," Eiki breathed against nape, his fangs fondling the pulsing vein in her throat.   

"You can wait," she struggled in his arms as she tried to pry herself loose from his steely hold, only to hear a precarious growl from the tiger. "Should I hurt everyone around you again?"   

Frankie a slice of ice stabbed into her soul at his words, turning her head towards Eiki she caught sight of the liquid amber of his eyes. "I told you, no one else can be around you but me..."   

He lifted her face so she could look more directly into his eyes, he could already feel the possessive animal inside him breaking it's restraint as he snarled. "I am the only one you need in this life, and you agreed to that the day you became my eternal partner." Eiki turned her around and shoved her body up against the coarse surface of the wall, his jagged teeth protruding from its well kept hiding place in his gums. The moonlight sheen of his canines glinted against her irises as he brought a placid hand under her chin, the smell of indefinite fear rising in his soul mate. "Don't be afraid love," he laughed, "I'm only going to kiss you."

Eiki pressed his thumb against the lushness of her lips, luring her mouth open as his tongue snaked inside her cavity. His mouth firmly captured hers as he sought to invade and corrupt the innocence left in her, the jagged edges of his teeth cutting into the soft flesh of her mouth allowing blood to flow. Eiki purred as the saccharine liquor danced on his taste buds, the succulent ambrosia of her body's essence enrapturing his carnal hunger. The candied nectar flowed freely between the meshing of their mouths, the crimson wine dribbling down the sides of their faces as he greedily tasted and drank from her lips.

Frankie whimpered as she felt his hard body restrain her own to his will, her breathing becoming more and more ragged by the second as he feasted upon her very life. His hands gripped her wrists and then slid upwards to push open her palms so he could lace his fingers with hers, Eiki aggressively sucked and worked her lips to his bidding, the lush and fragrant intoxication of her blood driving him borderline mad as he greedily feasted upon the decadence of their pleasure.

    "Eiki...." she managed to whisper between their teeth to tongue kisses, "Eiki...."

"I love you...." Eiki pulled back to look into her face, his expression pained at his statement, the were-tiger stared upon her with pleading eyes. "I don't know what I'd do if you ever were to leave me..."

"Please don't be mad," he begged as his grip on her body strengthened, "I wouldn't be able to handle losing you to anyone else.... I'd kill them." The young feline smiled as he declared his committed devotion in keeping her exclusive to him only. "Tell me you love me."

His hand gently caressed her cheek, his serrated canines still glaring at Frankie as he awaited for her answer to his demand. Eiki watched as she responded to his touch by looking up into his eyes, both of her hands coming up to his face as she went up on her tip-toes and pressed her forehead to his own. "I love you, you yandere s**t."

He let out a laugh at her comment, but it was still a declaration of her love for him. "This makes me happy, I would of done something unpleasant if you didn't say anything at all."

Eiki released her from his hold, a smile creeping onto his features as he stretched, "I'm a bit hungry Frankie, what about you?" He turned slightly so his back faced her, his tail snaking back and forth in a leisurely pace as he heard her follow him. "I am kind of hungry," she responded as they both went down the stairs and into the large kitchen area. It wasn't until Eiki swung open the fridge door that something rancid and disgustingly putrid ransacked Frankie's nostrils, the stench of something acidic rioting the clean air. "Eiki," she instantly covered her nose as she tried to breathe through clenched teeth, "what the hell is that smell?"   

The were-tiger kept his back to her briefly as he fished for something inside the refrigerator, he whistled a soft tune as the sounds of paper wrappers being torn reached Frankie's ears. "Just my food," Eiki responded as he finally turned to face her, his hand firmly holding on the door. A panic-stricken expression over took Frankie's sour dismay, the rising claws of bile surging up from the trenches of her stomach she looked within the food chamber. On each glass shelf within the cold storage lay the heads of her friends, all of their faces distorted in terror. Words couldn't describe the trepidation that consumed her as her body slid to the floor, her eyes locking onto a pair of familiar brown irises.   

With a soft hum, the Eiki pulled out something wrapped in newspaper, his fingers slowly ripping open the gray parcel like a birthday gift. A volatile gut wrenching need to vomit raising hell in the pits of her stomach as a freshly ripped out heart lay inside the package, "what's wrong Frankie," he slowly approached her, he could sense fear in the air as Eiki crouched down with the bleeding heart in hand, "cat got your tongue?' With his eyes boring into hers, he opened his mouth wide and sank his teeth into the fleshy organ and chewed with a lascivious grin on his face.

There's something so captivating about this protective possession. We all want that sort of kept feeling or remembering it in a way, to feel as though we belong to a person. Of course that does not include the extremity within the clutches of the were-cat.
