She must have known this, I think to myself, sidestepping the large trunks of the tiphe trees. Ariella’s conniving, vicious, and manipulative. It thrills me to see this side of her any time it comes out, to see that she’s like me. How could I get bored of Ariella when she acts like this?
How could I ever be apart from her when she makes me feel alive?
“You’re getting distracted!” Ariella shouts, and before I can register a branch that she had been holding springs back and comes toward me in an attempt to hit me in my face and make me stumble. I dodge it with ease, much too used to the changing landscape of the forest, but just the fact that she’s willing to play so dirty makes the hunt all the more exciting.
“Ariella,” I call out with a growl. “You’ll only make your punishment worse the more you run!”
An obvious lie, one that is only answered with laughter. She knows I would never hurt her, but I will make her remember what she’s done. The idea of making a claim to her makes me run faster. The blood coursing through my body shouts with an angry need to have her.
“You’ll have to catch me first,” Ariella sings, ducking between two trees as she turns a corner.
I huff and don’t respond to focus on the chase. She knows what will come to her, and I will take pleasure in unraveling her.
As always, Ariella loses her advantage whenever she runs from me in a clearing. Without having to worry about the trees or underbrush I pump my body faster to tackle her into the ground, pinning her arms over her head.
“You can never win against me,” I growl, but Ariella only smiles.
“Are you sure about that?”
Before I can respond, I hear Mirose’s voice and I realize that Ariella had led me all the way back to Dirnyn’s manor. She takes my momentary shock to wiggle out from underneath me to hug and greet Mirose, and I can only stand there, angry and impatient.
This little minx had the audacity to trick me!
My impatience rises as I watch Ariella talk to both Dirnyn and Mirose, and it’s only until the both of them depart that I stalk forward.
“You’ll regret tricking me like this,” I tell her, picking her up by the waist and slinging her over my shoulder.
Arielle laughs. “I’m not sure I will! Mirose said we have a room and bath together, let's go take one.”
I walk towards where Ariella points, knowing that I will not wait for her to take a bath to claim her.

ARIELLA
Ishut the door behind me, Zyranth accompanying me. Immediately, he knocks me forcefully into the wall with a thud, aggressively lowering his head to mine.
Although I love this side of him, I have to show restraint. Blood covers our bodies from head to toe. Perhaps he wears it as a sign of pride, but I’d just as quickly be free of it.
I duck under him, in a fruitless attempt to lead him to the tub.
“Bath first,” I say, smiling naughtily.
“You will not deny me,” he growls, picking me up and tossing me onto the bed.
I can feel my skin staining the pure white elven sheets, dying it red. But no sooner have I picked myself up, than he is pinning me down, moving his head on top of mine once more.
“Just stop fighting and enjoy it,” he growls.
My thighs moisten at the thought of him taking charge, and the question remains: do I fight him, or do I give in to the moment?
“Fine,” I say, his tongue now swirling down, teasing the edge of my mouth. “But before you fuck me again, you’re going to bathe with me.”
“I will do no such thing,” he growls.
I look up into his eyes, biting my lip, his long, spiny tongue now dancing along my cheek.
“You can take me by force if you want,” I purr. “But isn’t it so much more fun when I’m helping?”
