I blink,
unafraid.
The sleek body,
ebony cold,
muscles taut,
stretches forth.
Each curve,
shoulder,
back,
supple neck,
glistening with power.
A shudder escapes,
the body ripples.
My heart quickens
as tongue reveals.
My breath catches
in eyes, dark.
Tooth and claw
ache for blood,
but feline hunger
never quenched.
Taste of flesh,
mine to take,
rush of blood,
brings full glory.
Reaching out,
raking skin,
pull in tight,
touch to touch,
lips to nape,
bite to suck,
pain,
ecstasy,
anguish,
rapture.
I blink,
unafraid.
Blue-black figure,
panther in heat,
turns away
as you twist to me,
an urgent whisper,
"Now."
