She held her ground as he circled her like a shark, clearly enjoying the way his attentions made her squirm. Without turning to face him as he did so, she'd keep him in the corner of her eye, head up, her expression somewhere between challenge and disinterest. Despite that facade, she could feel her heart beginning to race, muscles growing taut as a bowstring. The fact that they had already done this plenty of times before didn't serve to alleviate her nerves at all--it just made it easier to hide them. Despite his mostly-mammalian features, he<i>moved</i>like a serpent, slow and poised in a way that suggested he could strike at any time. Garraus was a predator in more ways than one, and there was little doubt as to who the prey here was.<br/><br/>He slipped in behind her, long tail moving to wrap itself around her abdomen. Though she was braced for him to start feeling her up, the way his smooth scales constricted about her waist was enough to send a shudder of unease through her body. The end of his tail moved down further, tracing across the sensitive skin of her inner thighs before curving back up to her pelvis and slipping into her undergarments, eliciting a hissed intake of breath.<br/><br/>He purred mockingly in her ear, pressing himself to her back and letting his fangs scrape the sensitive flesh where shoulder and neck met, making her shiver.<b>"Not like I ever have much choice in the matter." </b>she muttered, feeling him slide a hand downwards, his claws gliding across her skin and leaving an electrifying sensation in their wake. They were short, but sharp, to the degree that she couldn't help wonder sometimes if he filed them specifically to be that way. She wouldn't have put it past the arrogant bastard to do something like that.<br/><br/>She caught a flash of movement out of the corner of her eye, but the sudden pin-prick of pain in her side told her that she had been too late. This, too, they had been through before, and she was still not sure where he was getting that black-market aphrodisiac. She wasn't sure she<i>wanted</i>to know, come to think of it. Whatever it was, though, it was potent, and she felt warmth blooming deep within her within moments, slowly spreading throughout her body. Down below, his tail was rubbing slowly and teasingly against her vulva, occasionally pushing itself in deeper and eliciting a small gasp or grimace from her. Aided by the drug, her body was starting to work against her brain, responding to his attentions in ways she didn't want it to.<b>"It's a good thing you've got that stuff," </b>she murmured breathlessly as he pulled her close, heightened nerves aflame at the touch of his fur and scales against her bare skin. Despite the dizzying sensation, she clung stubbornly to what defiance she could muster.<b>"Otherwise, I think I'd be too repulsed by the mere <i>sight</i> of you to ever consider sleeping with you."<br/>
</b><br/>She flinched slightly as he turned her about and locked lips, plunging his tongue into her mouth and stifling her cutting words. A brief, muffled moan escaped her even as she leaned away, trying (and failing) to pull free. She gripped at the long fur mantling his shoulders, tangling her fingers in it, although not even she was sure if it was to push him away or pull him closer.
