Nocturne Summit New Bohemia

His warning fell on deaf ears, as the only sound Wildfire could hear was the pounding rush of her own heated blood. This time, she did not hit her target. "Goober" thwarted her by thrusting his shoulder in the path of her jaws instead, causing her muzzle to smash into the hard muscle. It hurt but at least she got her teeth in him. It was more superficial than she would have liked and she released her scanty grip even as he aimed a nip at her ribs. It was a painful tickle and had the desired effect, prompting her to leap backward out of reach.

She could feel her muscles beginning to ache from tension and weariness but neither her adrenaline nor her fury flagged yet. Wildfire ignored the muscle fatigue entirely as she went in for a third assault. This time, she dropped her belly to graze the cold stone of the ledge as she darted for one of his ankles. It wouldn't kill him outright, yet maybe if she broke his leg, she would incapacitate him enough to finish the job. Wildfire growled even as the thought rooted in her brain, a quiet but thrumming sound of savagery.
