Though she had been transitioning to a crouched, almost feral run in the pursuit of the fleeing human, Xali saw with pleasure that the woman stiffened and then froze after only a few feet further. The poor warrior had been mere steps way from escaping and living to fight another day, but, Xali noted with a wild grin, her will had been no match for Xali's bewitching arcana.<br/><br/>Occupied as they were with their own prospective meals, the two males still couldn't help but notice a change in her demeanor over the course of the battle. She was breathing heavily, her mouth wide open and wide, rough tongue flicking at her mouth and nose. A low, excited growl was emanating from her chest, and her tail, which normally followed after her with the wavelike motion of a serpent, was now anxiously twitching back and forth.<br/><br/>Prowling forward towards her<span style="font-style: italic">held</span>quarry, a trickle of saliva began to form on the edge of her mouth, and she made no move to wipe it away. Instead, she ran her hands lasciviously over her own body as she moved. When she turned her head and spoke again, there was a passionate, almost snarling edge to her voice that neither of her allies had heard from her before. "Alright then," she said simply. "The blonde is all yours, Alexei. Kahimori's got the right idea. Enjoy her. Drir and the others can wait for a few seconds." While she'd been sultry in many subtle ways during the trip, now Xali heedlessly lifted her dress up and over her head, carefully laying it on the ground and continuing on in naught but her fur, giving any who cared to look an enticing view of her backside as she walked away. She'd rather momentarily discard her modesty than do yet more damage to an outfit she rather liked, and it simply wasn't stretchy enough for what she had planned.<br/><br/>As Xali reached poor Satrina, she came up from behind the paralyzed girl and suddenly grabbed her around her waist from behind, pulling her upright. "Ah ha ha haa haah," Xali cackled into the human's ear with a cruel edge in her voice. "Ooh, I almost thought you were going to get away from me, my statuesque beauty. "I'm sorry you didn't make it," she pouts mockingly, "but if it's any consolation, you'll be giving<span style="font-style: italic">me</span>a pleasure the likes of which you can hardly imagine." Strong hands tracing the supple contours of Satrina's body, the leopardess picked her up from behind and rotated her towards Kahimori, still close enough for her to hear the shrieks of protest both from Vendra and her metal armor.<br/><br/>"Ooh, isn't it cute the way she begs?" Xali leaned over Satrina's shoulder and pressed her hot muzzle against Satrina's tender lips, savoring the tiny trickle of blood, and her tail sinuously curled around the girl's inner thigh. She'd experienced many forms of pleasure over the years and held nothing taboo. Other females didn't satisfy her the way a male could, but they were fun to play with... Especially tasty, delicate-skinned humans.<br/><br/>Xali's breath was hot in Satrina's ear as she pressed up against her from behind, but any pleasure the cute brunette might have taken from it is drowned out by the bone-chilling sound of Xali's stomach growling noisily. She hadn't had the chance to eat but a tiny portion of the soup, and her belly was already empty again. As she and Satrina watched Vendra being stripped of her armor, Xali snickered. "I think my friend has the right idea... It's been<span style="font-style: italic">years</span>since I've had a pretty girl like you, and I want to give your flavor the appreciation it deserves."<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">The spell lasts for five rounds so I assume I have time to strip her as long as I'm quick about it, and since it's only three simple pieces.</div></div></div><br/><br/>Taking advantage of the paralysis to work quickly, Xali allowed her hands (and tail) only a little extra time to explore Satrina's slender, beautiful body as she stripped away the studded leather armor. The terrified woman heard a soft 'clink' as the skirt that protected her upper thighs and waist was unbuckled and slid down around her legs. Xali gave her captive's breasts a firm, almost playful squeeze before she unlaced the tight leather top and let it fall. The arm and leg pieces immediately followed. Leather was easy to digest of course, but it did tend to get in the way.<br/><br/>Xali reminded herself that the spell's duration would end soon, and she needed to get on with it. "I'm so very sorry, my dear lady," she said mock-apologetically, "I'd like to let you go..."<br/><br/>She licked her lips as she circled around to Satrina's front, giving her a good long look at her fate. "But I simply can't control my animal lusts. We really are barbaric, aren't we? When you put yourselves in front of us, we simply have no choice but to eat you." Taking Satrina's stiff hand in hers, she held the delicate woman's fingers against her white furred belly. "Feel that? That's where your going." She leaned close, as if to kiss Satrina again.<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Vore de grace time! Satrina is automatically gulped down with a single full action.</div></div></div><br/><br/>Raising her hands to her face, the sultry leopardess opened her mouth, massaged each side of her jaw with her fingers until Satrina heard the audible 'POP' of her jawbone unhinging. Xali took a deep breath as the hollow tunnel of her throat loomed impossibly wide in Satrina's face, her musky breath washing over the girl's face. As Xali's rough tongue ran over her prey's tender neck, the human found herself immersed in blackness as Xali's throat descended around her.<br/><br/>Xali was thrilled to take in the sweet scent of the human's long, lush brunette hair as her throat started to squeeze it's way around the girl's head. She simply loved the soaps and oils which humans bathed with. Most anthro's tended to bathe in rivers at best, and with their<span style="font-style: italic">tongue</span>at worst. Xali's strong hands and tail gripped the woman's shoulders , forcefully lifting her into the strong embrace of her throat muscles. The first strong gulp got her lips all the way to the girl's shoulders, her thin neckfur bulging with the impression of Satrina's silently terrified face. Impossible though it may have seemed to Satrina as her feet left the ground, the tall yet petite leopardess's lips stretched readily over her shoulders.<br/><br/>With a muffled *kaff*, Xali gulped again, sending Satrina in up to her firm bust. Xali paused there for a moment to allow her tongue to slither over those smooth, flavorful globes. But she couldn't breathe with a person almost as large as her in her throat, and that paralysis spell wasn't going to last forever. Xali's hands slithered down past Satrina's breasts grabbed her firmly by her muscular little abdomen before lifting in time with another swallow. The rings of Xali's tight, muscular throat got a grip on the woman's shoulders and pulled her bust into the darkness of Xali's mouth. The hot, slimy interior of Xali's throat all but overwhelmed the woman, causing her to sputter and struggle for breath involuntarily, but she couldn't move a muscle to save herself as she slid inexorably toward her doom.<br/><br/>Another wet *kaff* *slurrp* sound and the brunette human was sucked in up to her tight tummy, the last of her gorgeous and sweet smelling hair vanishing into the leopard's maw. The bones in Xali's chest creaked as the enormous lump slid down her throat, and Satrina's head emerged into a hot chamber filled with acrid fumes. The stomach.<br/><br/>Eyes rolling back in her head as pleasure overwhelmed her, Xali gave a muffled moan of ecstasy as her hands slid lower. One hand grasped a cheek of the poor girl's rounded, springy buttocks, while the other slipped between her legs. Exalting in the involuntary shudder which even a Hold spell could not suppress, Xali pushed her palm against the woman's crotch and worked one of her fingers into the moistened petals of her sex. For a moment, Xali endeavored to give the human pleasure, plunging her finger deep and twisting it in a motion that had always been pleasurable to her. But time was short, and Xali needed to get her down the hatch before she got a chance to wriggle free.<br/><br/>Holding her thusly, Xali suddenly threw her head back and straightened out, lifting Satrina's lower half up into the air above her head, disorienting the girl even further. With all of her weight suspended over Xali, the human woman began to slide down slowly even before Xali swallowed. Satrina's hips slid into Xali's mouth as her stiff legs stood balanced directly above the hungry leopardess. Xali tried to inhale the sweet scent of the girl's sex, but she could hardly breathe with a human in her throat. Now that the human's upper body was in her stomach, a visible round bulge rapidly grew in the leopardess's white furred belly. Giving her prey's nethers one last sensual lick, Xali watched the inviting swell of Satrina's buttocks vanish into her mouth. Her muscular throat got a grip on the her prey's hips, and her lips started to contract again with a slurping sound rather than the coughing sound she'd made when swallowing the widest parts. A single gulp pulled almost all of the long, wonderfully smooth and flavorful legs in. Xali's tongue slithered over the feet and ankles that still protruded one last time, then swallowed forcefully. A hard bulge traveled down through her body, and her chest contracted back to normal size as the last of her helpless meal slid into the previously-empty stomach.<br/><br/>"Ahhh..." Xali exhaled with sublime satisfaction, taking hold of her jaw and gently popping it back into place and sealing Satrina's fate. The terrified girl found herself squeezed into a tight, inverted ball, with her arms pinned at her sides and her legs bent backwards. It was feverishly hot and had a horrible burned stench. But for the moment, her skin merely tingled, not burned. The predator's excited heartbeat sounded in her ears like a war drum.<br/><br/>Outside, Xali's previously petite waist had swollen to the size of a beachball, the woman's outline clearly visible within the tight stomach walls. Xali grabbed the enormous, protruding bulge and worked it around until Satrina was laying horizontally, the most comfortable position for Xali. "Oh darling..." she said breathlessly. "You were<span style="font-style: italic">delicious</span>. Thank you so much for the wonderful meal." She waited for the spell to wear off, consciously suppressing her stomach's bile production.<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Not doing any digestion damage until I'm back with the group.</div></div></div><br/><br/>When it finally did, and she felt the pleasurable struggles within her begin, Xali sighed with pleasure again, tasting the enchanting flavor on her tongue. "Ahh. And now, darling, I must be moving on, so I'm afraid I'll have to digest you." The stomach gurgled ominously all around the newly mobile Satrina, and a slow trickle of acids began to pool around her. "I think you should plead for mercy, my beauty. Who knows, perhaps I'll have a change of heart like my kitsune friend did? He seems to be letting that tasty-looking priestess go." she said.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Edited in.</span><br/><br/>As she allowed her stomach to start digesting the luckless girl, eyes practically glowing with pleasure, Xali gazed at Kahimori's strange change of heart, not quite sure what to make of it. Tasty prey like these three warrior lasses only ever traveled in one direction through Xali's body, if she could help it. Indeed, they'd brought it upon themselves more than many of the humans and anthros she'd digested over the years. Cradling her massive wriggling stomach, Xali smiled broadly as she approached Kahimori, Alexei and Vendra. "Oooh, so this one got lucky, did she?" the leopardess purrs as her gaze comes to Vendra. A wonderful opportunity occured to her.<br/><br/>Xali stretches slightly, raising her hands above her head, and her stomach gurgles loud enough for Vendra to hear as the digestive process finally begins, instantly causing Satrina's skin to redden and sting. The pain would no doubt cause Satrina to struggle and cry out. Whatever Kahimori's motives, it would amuse Xali to see if this cleric would heal the cut on her stomach, forcing her to place her hand on Xali's huge, bloated belly and feel her friend's final struggles just inches beneath the surface. She swallowed a mouthful of air and slightly suppressed her stomach acids, not wanting the delicious brunette's struggles to cease too soon.<br/><br/>"Yes, human... make sure you heal the cut on my belly as soon as you've healed Alexei's largest wound. It pains me greatly... and I'm afraid the woman in my stomach is stretching it out further. You had better do something about it."<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Scaling acid damage back to 1 point/round until Vendra heals me.</div></div></div>
