Kadence's velvety black pelt blended with the shadows but stood out sharply with the soft white snow that coated the forest. Her paws stilled as she came to a soft dip it the ground that had been sheltered by the trees and remained dry and snowless. She padded into it and lay down in one elegant movement. She stretched out her long legs and set to work at grooming her glossy fur to an even higher level of perfection.

As she worked, she thought about all the things that had happened lately. There was the battle with the Creek wolves, in which they kicked ass in, the encounter with Grimnir, which had been rather, how to put it, interesting. She shivered a bit thinking about it again, recalling the plan that had formed in her head. It was time to carry that out. That was when she felt the distinct prickle of eyes on her fur. Instead of lifting her head like she normally would, she just continued to preen herself, stretching her body to show every curve. If someone was watching her, she might as well give them a show.

Crescendo had not seen much of the dark coated fae, so decided it was his duty to get to know her, personally. Silver eyes shone from the shadows, eying every curve on the elegant fae's body. She was beautiful, and clearly knew it. She flaunted her beauty now, which lad Crescendo to believe that she probably knew he was there.

He melted from the shadows of an ancient oak, striding confidently toward the girl. He grinned, a cold smile that showed his gleaming white ivory's. "Kadence", he purred, a low rumble. "It seems you are a mystery to me still, same as the day I first set foot in these lands. We must fix that, no?" He yearned for physical contact, but withheld. His silver eyes ran up and down her body hungrily, boreing into her pelt.

Kadence lifted her obsidian head as a wolf morphed from the shadows and strode down to her, his eyes scanning every inch of her. She smirked, knowing the look on his face. It was the look of a male who wanted something. Instead of getting up, or even in a less compromising position, she just smiled back at him, her eyes sparkling darkly.

"Crescendo, right? I do agree, we should definitely get to know each other better." she replied silkily, her own eyes giving him a quick once-over. So far none of the males she had met here were hard on the eyes, and that pleased her immensely. This one was no different.

She motioned for him to sit with her tail, her eyes studying his movements and expressions. "I wonder why we haven't met before." she mused.

Crescendo stood over the fae, looking down at her. as she motioned for him to sit, he did, then lay down on his side directly opposite of her. She played the game well, this fae. Very well. He smiled, deadly and cunning. "Yes, I wondered the same thing. That had to change immediately, of course" As his eyes traveled over her body again, his breathing changed slightly, becoming harsher, deeper. Silver eyes burned, but he kept his face and voice carefully neutral.

Kadence's smirk widened as he lay down across from her, his eyes scanning over her once again and his breathing coming out a little harsher, heavier. She blinked her eyes innocently at him, showing fake concern in their yellow depths.

"Are you okay? You seem a little... Winded." she breathed, slowly and deliberately. Her plan was working and already she could see the effect she had on him. Now she just needed him to show it, to admit it. And then, eventually, act on it. First it would be fun to toy with him for a bit.

Crescendo glanced up, his silver eyes meeting hers. "It is easy to become winded in the company of one so...striking."he purred in the low voice he reserved for females. Unlike the others, Kadence was no easy prey. A glance and an empty smile usually sent others running to him, but she was different...and he liked it. A lot.

He leaned forward, closer to her. The emotions running high threatened to break through their shell, though he wasn't sure he cared. He licked his chops, eyes still locked onto the fae's. Flames of desire leaped higher in his cold eyes, but he pushed them down. Not yet. But soon. Very, very soon.

Hey wasn't insane like Grimnir or playful like Bane. No, he was completely different. He possessed a darkness that sparked a fire in her. She observed the desire that darkened his eyes a bit and she smiled darkly, her own eyes sparkling. "Oh, so it's for me." she mused in a velvety voice as he licked his lips, his want becoming more and more evident.

She stretched out and lay her head on her paws, the junction between her legs clearly visible. Her wide eyes studied him, waiting for his reaction to her even more revealing position. "So, tell me about yourself, Crescendo." she inquired, interested in seeing if he would be able to carry on a conversation while she was sitting the way she was, her body on full display for him.

So this had turned into a waiting game. Crescendo could play it, no matter how much it pained him. He stood and resettled himself into a sphinx like position, facing her. "I can be your worst nightmare or your loyal companion. Those who dare to cross me do not live for long. Few have earned my respect. You, are one of them." He smiled, one that hinted at the darkness inside. "Who are you, Kadence?" his eyes flickered along her body (lingering in one spot) before looking up and meeting her gaze again. Cold eyes held the tiniest hint of challenge in them, but the rest of his body language was carefully neutral.

She noted the hint of challenge in his eyes and smirked. He would be hard to break, but not impossible. She looked him in the eyes when she responded, hooding them with darkness. "Well, I'm quite flattered that I have managed to gain your respect." she answered slowly. He too had gained her's, for he had amazing restraint. "As for me, I am a mystery that you'll have to figure out with time. But I will give you one hint. I am no angel." she smirked. Maybe if he would give in to his hunger, she could share more of her story.

"Do something I like, get another hint." she explained, her words dark and seductive, like dark chocolate mixed with blood, silky and smooth.

However much he was annoyed at the simple answer, he enjoyed the air of mystery around this fae. At her last words he leaped up, eyes glistening. He stalked around the beautiful girl, eying her from every angle. He stopped at her side, then extended a single claw and tickled the bottom of her chin. He carefully drew it slowly across her neck, her belly, drawing it along until he reached the base of her tail. Then he leaned in and licked her cheek, before following the same path the claw had taken with his tongue. Slowly, so slowly, he drew it along her flesh.

Snap. The change in him was almost audible as he leapt to his paws and made his way over to her, studying her from every angle before finally settling on her side. His claw drew it's way along her skin, from her chin all the way down to the base of her tail where he lifted it and came back up to her chin, giving her a soft lick before following the trail with his tongue. It was slow, agonizingly slow and Kadence struggled not to squirm under his touch. She needed more.

Quick as a snake she pushed him off her and onto his back. She crawled on top of him and buried her muzzle in the fur of his neck, her hot breath tickling his cheek. Her hips were directly over his as she settled on top of him, nipping and licking her way along his jaw. The friction of their fur made her body heat up with need and desire, the only way to fix it was to satisfy the wild creature inside her.

Suddenly, all there was in the world was her. Her scent was everywhere, her muzzles and nips awakening something deep within the hardened warrior. He allowed her to be atop of him for only a few moments, then quick as a viper twisted and lunged and was atop of her, her warm body beneath him. He alined his hips with hers, grasped her scruff in his jaws and let a moan of delight escape him. He held the stance for a moment, teasing her with swaying hips, before suddenly driving into her. He could wait no longer.

Before she could have any fun he grabbed her by the scruff and pushed her roughly back onto the ground, his shaft aligned with her entrance but not yet satisfying her needs. He swayed his hips atop hers and the pressure continued to build until he finally snapped all the way and drove into her with a hard, solid thrust. She screamed aloud as he filled her, releasing a scream of ecstasy. It felt so good as she rocked her hips back and forth, wrapping her legs around his waist to get every bit of him inside of her.

She leaned up between moans of pleasure and whispered in his ear. "Fuck me, baby. Fuck me hard!" she purred, ending in a moan.

And he did. The rhythm of it held him, for what seemed like an eternity he rolled with it, every nerve screaming, the fire and passion consuming him. Finally he fell to the ground moaning in delight beside Kadence, breathing hard. After a few seconds he stood, looking down at her. "You like?" he asked, voice hoarse and low. Crescendo licked her muzzle, finally satisfied. He had gained the ultimate prize in the game, and his pelt was burning. He knew for a fact that he liked.

They ended in a shuttering heap, their sounds of satisfaction and pleasure mingling in the air as they collapsed. After a few moments Crescendo got up and stood over her, his voice husky and low as he asked her if she had liked it. Well hell. How could she not? Not only was he not bad, but he was good. Really good.

She gazed at him, her yellow eyes darkened with lust. Her body was on fire and she didn't want it to stop. "Yeah, I liked it. Did you?" she asked distractedly as she put her paws on his wide shoulders and tried to move him so that he was hovering over her once again.

"Like' is an understatement." he told her, his voice stronger. He laughed at her attempts to move him, and realizing what she wanted, grinned. Wordlessly, he collapsed on top of her, driving into her once again. He moaned in pure delight, flames consuming him.
