Shadow

by Jan Stryvant

  “All the more reason to,” Shadow rumbled and grabbing her hips slid her up the wall and started to lick and nuzzle her stomach, nosing up along under her tits.

  “Shadow, no ...” she said weakly trying to push him away. She wasn’t sure where this was going, she was going to be killing him after all.

  Shadow purred, “I know what you need,” he rumbled deeply, and pinning her with one paw to the wall she felt his other paw fumbling with her jeans as he slid down to his knees. Watching wide-eyed she saw his claws come out, over an inch long, and he hooked them inside the jeans and a moment later her pants were crotchless, her sex exposed to the air.

  And then Shadow dove into her sex, licking her with that broad long tongue. She started hitting him on the head with both hands but he seemed unfazed. He had both paws on her hips holding her in place and then he did something to her she’d never experienced before: he slid his tongue up inside her.

  Nance was shocked; his tongue was long! Longer than any man’s that had ever been there before, she stared wide-eyed as eight inches of tongue slid up inside her and started to explore her like she’d never been explored before. Shadow’s warm leathery cat nose rubbed over her clit, and her insides turned to butter as she started to squirm in his grip. She grabbed his ears and held on, starting to pant.

  “Close the door damnit,” Nance groaned. She was close, he was just that good. She smiled as his tail whipped out and pushed the door closed until it clicked, neat trick that.

  Several minutes later she screamed as she came on his muzzle, rather hard, his tongue having been rubbing over her G spot for the last two minutes, as he slurped and sucked out her juices. She was using his ears now to guide him, and pull him in deeper. Panting she slumped back against the wall, and he started back up on her, not giving her any rest.

  Shadow smiled, he was going to fuck her brains out, and he wasn’t going to take no for an answer. How often did he get to screw a fellow predator? She tasted sweet on his tongue, and she was rather lively. Plus she looked so hot moaning and screaming above him pinned to the wall. He gave her a second orgasm, then licked her juices clean from her cunt lips and his muzzle and stood up, letting her collapse against him.

  “Oh lord Shadow ...” Nance panted.

  “Now it’s time for the main event,” he purred and carried her into the bedroom, finding it easily. Dumping her on the bed he shed his own clothes in seconds and using his claws cut her out of hers just as fast. Moving between her spread legs he settled on top of her, smiling as she reached for him.

  Nance was still enjoying the after affects of Shadow’s tongue when she realized she was on her back naked, and he was moving between her legs. Looking down she saw his cock was dark fleshed, almost an ebony color, shaped as a normal man’s but rather large. Reaching down she grabbed it, smiling slightly as she realized just how large he was. There were also bumps along the shaft, that made her smile even more and she tugged him forward leading him to her sex.

  Shadow did as she bid and slid inside her, she was already sopping wet from her orgasms and his tongue, but she was incredibly tight, and possessing of excellent muscle control. She’d squeezed him several times as he moved in slowly, making him have to work his shaft back and forth a few times until at last he was hilted.

  Nance groaned in delight as he worked his cock into her, he was big! Thicker than most men, and longer than anybody she’d ever fucked. When he hilted in her she gave him a squeeze and smiled at the loud rumbling purr that came out of his chest, making the fur that teased her nipples vibrate and sending a thrill through her.

  “Ever been fucked by an animal before?” Shadow whispered in her ear.

  “Oh god no ...” Nance replied.

  Shadow started fucking her then, and Nance had to admit, he definitely knew what he was doing. He worked that cock in and out of her, hard and fast, those bumps getting larger as he fucked her, pulling at her insides, his hips pounding into hers, his furry balls bouncing off her ass. Raising her legs she wrapped them around his hips and pulled his face down to hers giving herself to the moment and kissing him deeply.

  The sounds sex filled the room, counterpoint to the sounds of their hips slapping and the bed squeaking. When she finally felt his shaft start to swell deep inside her as he growled loudly above her body, she knew he was there, but she was momentarily shocked by the loud cat like snarl as he drove in deep and started to spray his seed into her. She came with him and the heat of his semen kept her hips churning and head spinning as he came and came, pumping out an amazing amount of his sticky cream.

  He collapsed on top of her, heavy furry body pressing her smooth human one into the bed as he panted on her, spent. She kept her legs wrapped around him, holding him inside her, still giving the occasional shiver beneath him.

  “You like?” he purred nuzzling her ear.

  “That wasn’t at all bad,” she said smiling under him. It had been a long time since she’d been so nicely fucked. She could feel his cum leaking out of her, his breath against her ear, his heart beating in his chest, his tail curling around her leg. Oh yeah, not bad at all.

  “That’s it?” Shadow teased, “That’s all you have to say?”

  “Oh I’m sure I’ll have a pleasant thought or two at your funeral.”

  “Oh no, I’m gonna make sure you’re crying your heart out over not getting to do this again!” he growled playfully and started to kiss and lick down her body, pulling out of her sex causing her to gasp.

  “Wha?” she shivered as he uncovered her and started in on her tits.

  “You my dear are going to get all of me,” Shadow purred softly, and punctuated the next three words with a nip to one of her nipples after each, “all - night - long.”

  It was six in the morning when Shadow finally collapsed onto the bed besides Nance, he was spent and he had to admit pleasantly so. Pulling her against him he whispered in her ear, “Just remember, this date isn’t over until I leave,” then yawned and fell into a pleasant sleep.

  Nance barely heard the words, her head was spinning pleasantly and she was asleep almost as fast as he was, snuggling into his strong body. No matter what else he did, he sure could fuck, she thought with a smile.

  Nance woke up hours later, she could see her clock, it was noon. She yawned and felt her self pulled back against a warm furry body and noticed the strong arm wrapped around her as the memories of last night re-entered her mind as she woke up. She had a gun behind the nightstand; she could probably get it and blow his brains out before he woke up. But she had given him her word, and last night had been rather wonderful.

  She rolled over to face him and wasn’t that surprised to find him half-awake already.

  “Now what?”she asked.

  “Oh I can think of something,” he answered.

  They made love one more time, slow and languid, it was after one when they finished, and he finally took his leave of her.

  Nance took a nice long hot shower and then put her gear together and went out to hunt him down. If he was going to kill her, he would have already. She didn’t know why he didn’t want to kill her, she just knew he didn’t. For that matter she really didn’t want to kill him, however she was being well paid to do just that and she didn’t turn down money.

  Shadow’s thoughts were on somewhat different issues, namely finding out who had commissioned Nance and if not convincing them to change their minds, killing them so they couldn’t pay her. Then he’d see about convincing her to stop hunting him, he’d hate to have to kill her.

  Shadow went to the safe house where he’d stashed Karen, he’d told her to go to school today, and had hired a car to take her there and back. It was about three when he had finished getting cleaned up, so he sacked on the bed waiting for her to show.

  Karen was surprised to see Shadow on the bed snoozing when she got back from school. She changed quietly and went to make dinner for them both. She was happily cooking when he walked up behind her and gave her a hug.

  “Happy. I didn’t expect to see you today. How long am I going to have to stay here?”

  “I don’t know, maybe another week. Until I get this problem taken care of.”

  “I’d rather be home, Shadow,” Karen said leaning back into him as she stirred the sauce she was cooking.”

  “Yes, I know, but I’d rather not temp this one with going after you. Then I’d have to kill her.” Shadow sighed.

  “I don’t know why you are putting up with this.”

  “Because I’m curious, because I have my reasons,” he purred. “Now tell me about your day.”

  “Well,” she laughed, “Ben Hendrickson has a boy friend! A big buff pro ball player he met.”

  Shadow hmmmed? “So he’s gay, what’s the big deal?”

  “Ben is the guy who tried to rape me, Shadow.”

  Shadow blinked. “I guess he really did enjoy his punishment.”

  Karen laughed, “I don’t want to know. Though I hear his dad is furious that his jock son is not only gay, but he’s catching instead of pitching.”

  Shadow laughed, then stopped thinking of something, “Did you say his name is Hendrickson?”

  Karen nodded, “Why, is that important?”

  “Maybe, is his father the same Hendrickson who’s our current Mayor?”

  Karen paused a moment, “I’m not sure. I know his dad is important, but I don’t pay much attention to that.”

  Shadow nodded, “That’s okay, I’ll check on it later. That looks good, let’s eat.”

  Much later, well after dinner and a nice couple of hours coupling with Karen, Shadow cleaned up and headed out, leaving her asleep in the bed. He headed down to visit Jules; he had some questions to ask. When he got there he staked out the place, waiting for it to close. He wanted this to be private, otherwise it was liable to get messy and Jules had never been a problem before.

  An hour later the employees started to leave, twenty minutes later they were all gone except for Jules and his partner. As they lived there, Shadow didn’t expect to see them leave. He gave them a few minutes to lock up, then went over and knocked on the door.

  “Who is it?” He heard from inside.

  “I need to talk to you Jules,” Shadow said, “I think you need to tell me something.”

  Shadow heard a shotgun rack slowly, an advantage of his better hearing.

  “Jules,” Shadow warned, “if I wanted trouble, I wouldn’t be coming in the front door. But if you point that shotgun at me, you’re gonna wake up in the hospital. Eating through a tube,” and then he growled, “understand?”

  The door opened, Jules had the gun pointed at the ground. “What do you want, Shadow?”

  “You know what I want, Jules, or you wouldn’t be standing there with a shotgun afraid of me. Tell me what happened.”

  “A bunch of guys came down here, they asked questions, they had Rob, and they weren’t being very nice. They wanted to know who brought that kid in; I didn’t have much of a choice on answers, Shadow.”

  Shadow nodded, “I didn’t know who the kid was when I brought him down here, Jules, or I wouldn’t have. You have my apologies for that. However, you should have told me about it, Jules.” Shadow gave a soft growl.

  “They told me not to tell anybody, or they’d be back for Rob,” Jules said in a warning tone.

  “Jules, you need to understand a fundamental truth of the world, they’re just men, I’m not a man. They follow orders, make threats, flex a little muscle. I kill. I’m the one you need to worry about, not them. These guys show up here again, you let me know, I’ll deal with it. But I suspect they won’t ever be around here again.”

  Jules looked at him suspiciously, “What are you going to do?”

  “What I would have done if you had told me sooner. Take care of it.” Shadow growled.

  “But he’s the mayor, Shadow!”

  “Not any more. Mayors aren’t supposed to hire assassins, Jules.”

  Shadow made some phone calls after he had left Jules, none of the people who answered their phones were happy, it was 3AM after all. But he reminded them of that little event he had filmed them at, and told each one what they were going to do. He then went back to the safe house and curled up with Karen, tomorrow and the day after would be rather busy days. At least his defense form was finally done, he would need it.

  Cat and Mouse

  Three days later Shadow was back in his usual haunts, Nance was still hunting him, though he was sure she probably found his complete disappearance for the last few days to be rather strange. He was curious as to what her next attack was going to be. He’d found a number of booby traps around his apartment, and taken his time with them. She hadn’t put any in his apartment however, which was interesting.

  He figured it would be a frontal assault, something using some sort of personal weapon or other. He didn’t think she’d try the sniper bit again; she’d need to be in closer for the kill to make sure she actually got him this time. Most likely she’d figured out he really didn’t want to kill her and was going to push her luck. And with all the commotion going on uptown after yesterday’s terrible car accident in which the mayor died after his car went off a bridge into the river, well, things down here would be ignored by the police.

  Shadow left the bar, he was wearing an overcoat tonight, it hid a few things, including the fact that it was pretty serious body armor. He was doing the defense form, getting used to it, and figuring it would help when she let loose at him. He didn’t like taking risks much, but he noticed she’d been avoiding the roofs a lot of late. When he came around a corner and saw her standing there, he smiled, “Nance, what a pleasure. What brings you here?”

  She smiled back, “Business.”

  “And here I had been hoping for a social call. So what’s it to be this time?”

  “Swords,” she said and drew a katanna from a sheath on her back.

  Shadow hmmm’d and decided to stay on the defense for the moment. If that blade was as good as he suspected, the body armor wouldn’t be of much help. He thought she might go this route; he had seen the blade hanging on the wall in her living room after all and doubted it was an ornament.

  “Well, have at it then,” he said looking at her.

  “Aren’t you going to do anything?” Nance asked slightly surprised.

  “Well I could shoot you.” Shadow laughed, “But that wouldn’t be fair now, would it?”

  Nance frowned and moved towards him with the sword out, and Shadow noticed the path she was taking. He was fairly suspicious that she had probably laid out a few traps for him, figuring on him charging her. Checking his surroundings he slowly retreated the way he had come, until he was more secure in his surroundings.

  “What, afraid?” Nance teased.

  “Just wanted some more room.” Shadow grinned.

  Nance attacked him then, and Shadow retreated some more, dodging and slipping under her overhand cuts. Nance was impressed, but she would have expected a cat to have a good agility. Too bad he hadn’t stumbled into any of her traps. She’d keep pressing him however, the street was wider here, but it dead-ended not too far away and then he’d have to fight her.

  Shadow let her push him back a little ways, getting a feel for her movements, seeing how she worked the blade. Long before he got to the end of the cull-de-sac he’d been coming out of when she ambushed him he flung off his overcoat, tossing it at her and watching impressed as she easily cut it in two.

  “Nice sword,” he acknowledged.

  “Thank you.” Nance smiled.

  “Well let’s see how mine stacks up, shall we?” Shadow drew his own sword then, it was a straight blade, guardless, and a bit shorter than hers, four inches he figured if hers was of typical katana length. The blade on his was a rather fancy alloy, it would hold up to her blade, but his sword had a nasty surprise in it. He was sure she’d appreciate it.

  They crossed swords then and Shadow was again
impressed, he was still defending and he quickly realized that was not the best tactic in this fight as she continued to keep him moving backwards. Waiting for a pause in Nance’s attack he shifted into his fighting form as soon as she did and surprised her with a change in tactics, bringing her up short and actually making her take a couple of steps back before she adjusted.

  Nance was surprised when Shadow countered suddenly and she found herself on the defense for a moment. She thought she’d had his measure but apparently he’d only been feeling her out. His style shifted subtly, and she realized that he was much better than she would have expected.

  “I’m surprised you know sword fighting,” Nance said as their blades clashed and weaved around each other trying to find an opening.

  “It has its uses occasionally,” Shadow grunted, “but my sensei was a traditionalist, and he insisted.”

  “Insisted?” Nance asked curiously.

  “Rather painfully,” Shadow admitted.

  “Ah, I see.”

  “You know your client is dead, don’t you?” Shadow asked as he parried a rather nasty sideswipe.

  “Actually no, I don’t know who my clients are. I work through a middle man.” Nance grunted a bit as he came down in a hard overhand forcing her to block with a hand sliding down the back of her blade.

  Shadow noted the move, and that she wasn’t wearing gloves. He smiled. “Well you might want to call him tonight. If you’re not getting paid, maybe I could convince you to give up on this particular assignment?”

  Nance laughed, “I don’t think that’s going to matter much, Shadow, you’re not going to leave this fight alive.”

  Shadow pouted, “And here I thought you liked me.”

  “I can’t afford to like people, Shadow, and you’re worth a lot of money to me.”

  “And after the way you were screaming my name the other night. I thought that maybe you’d decided to make an exception for me, Nance.”

  Nance blushed at that and then cursed as he came back at her with that heavy overhand causing her to block with her hand down the blade again. She hated that, the last one stung.
