much more adept on four legs than she on her hands and knees.
They al lowed her to regain her footing and pushed her farther into the wooded area. Both cats seemed to be herding her, guiding her toward the forest and she could do nothing less than go exactly where they wanted.
The larger were-cat spoke from behind her as they walked. “The first part of the Vow is sex – you give your bodies to each other. The second part is to verbalize the commitment of each person’s heart.
“ The Vow is only complete when the shifters consummate the relationship in both forms with their chosen mate. The words are spoken after the human-were has shifted into or out of his animal form and the female is visibly marked.”
The smaller panther pressed his flank into her indicating he wanted her to turn left. If she walked too slowly, the panther behind her would rise up and push his huge paws against her behind to hurry her along.
If she went the wrong way a deep growl would sound beside her, which would most likely be her only warning before she was tackled again. Chloe was quite annoyed with the fact that the lead panther could talk, but he chose not to; she assumed he must simply enjoy physically pushing her around.
“Can you say with honesty that your feelings have not become deeper for the ape-men?” the big cat asked.
Chloe was about to answer that they had indeed changed from attraction to fury, but she stopped herself.
When she thought of the two were-apes, she didn’t hate them, not really. The were-cat was right – something had changed in her; she had been too angry to feel it earlier.
Still confused, she said, “I don’t know.”
“Your scent says otherwise,” replied the larger panther. “If you are not sure, we could test the first part of the Vow together to see if you prefer felines rather than apes.”
She blushed as she recalled that the first part was sex. “Um...no, that’s okay,” she answered nervously.
“We shall see,” replied the were-cat , his voice filled with anticipation. The panthers weren’t ones to ask permission anyway. They answered to no one and took what they wanted. It had been this way for a thousand years.
The smaller panther had remained quiet during their discussion, but his ears definitely perked up at hearing his leader’s comment . Since this female was unattached and technically Vowed to no one, they were within their rights to share her as a group.
He licked his muzzle at the thought of ta sting the woman and filling her with his cock. It was obvious to him that this was the entire reason they were taking the female away from her ape-creatures.
The big cat s would not kill her for her knowledge of their existence, but they would take her to their Council to Vow her to one of them.
After the larger panther’s last comment, Chloe was desperate to fill the uncomfortable silence. She started rambling out numerous questions, hoping to distract the were-panthers from the topic of sex. “Wild panthers do not live together; do you live alone as well?”
“ We are solitary, but we meet on occasion for important matters; for example, if one of us takes a mate.”
Great! Right back to the topic of sex again! “Do you prefer panther or human form?”
“ Human for work. Panther only when we are in Apple Creek Preserve. Panther form is amazing for fucking though,” he sneered.
Dammit! Now she was getting irritated! “How many shifters are in your group?”
“That is not your business, unless you agree to be mated, of course.” Unbeknownst to her, he leered at the sight of her strong, shapely legs and tight ass barely covered by her skimpy shorts.
What a creep! He’s obviously trying to get me to shut up. She sighed loudly. Maybe that’s not such a bad idea since his favorite topic is sex.
But she just couldn’t stop herself from asking one last question. “ About this Vow-thing – couldn’t I simply leave after completing the steps?”
