The Bones of The Rabbit

Chapter 49

You gazed up at Alcina, trying to read her sorrowful expression. "I'd only devour you if you'd ask me." She spoke softy, almost with a soft whimper hidden in her voice. "I can't lose the one thing that brought my family closer." She moved her hand away, her claws sheathed and placed her hand on your cheek, reading your gaze. You leaned into her touch, feeling affection drown out the prey-like fear. "I wouldn't mind if you devoured me. At least the last thing I'd see is you." You met her gaze, then smiled. "Don't look at me like that. You look like a pouty puppy when you do." You wrapped your arms around Alcina's waist and gave a soft sigh. "The day when you do, I hope you savor the memory of my taste." You added, hugging her.

But please, let the last thing you do before you kill me be a kiss...

A soft whimper escaped Alcina's throat, drawing your attention. You stood onto the bed and hugged her tightly. "Don't cry!" You could still hear her whimper, until she threw you onto the bed. Luckily, you didn't hurt your arm in the cast, but you now had to figure out what was going on. Getting ready to sit up, Alcina pinned you back down. She scooped you up into her arms, now facing her. Her arms kept you in a strong cradling embrace, cuddling you. "Alci, you're still in your dress." You pointed out, hearing a soft "shhhh" as she kept you close. "I don't want to talk about devouring you. It makes me sad." She whispered.

The door opened and a loud gag could be heard. "Don't you two lock your doors!?" Cassandra gagged out, leaving with the door open. "Gross! Bela, they're cuddling!" She called down. "Let them cuddle! Mother needs her cuddle time with (Y/N)." Bela came over, looking over. "Cassandra needed (Y/N) for a small task. But, from the looks of it, you two are busy." Bela closed the door, Cassandra and her arguing. "I can't beat this level, I need (Y/N) to beat it for me!" "You're on easy, it's literally easy." You looked up at Lady Dimitrescu, giving her a kiss. "You know what we should have?" You asked, giving her another kiss. "A bubble bath." You grinned, hearing her laugh. "You just want to get me naked." Alcina gently pushed you, keeping her strength in mind. "Not true! Okay, maybe a little true, but come on! A bubble bath sounds awesome right now."

Having persuaded Lady Dimitrescu into a bubble bath and getting the water started, you could feel her pulling away at your clothes and looking at your scars. Many of these had been by her claws, the marks from Cassandra already faded away. "It's alright, the more recent scars have closed up by now." You explained, the stitches had already been removed by the on-site medic of Castle Dimitrescu.

Cuddling into Alcina's chest and feeling the hot soapy water around you, the moment felt right. Her hand laid on your back, keeping you close and making sure your broken arm was up out of the water. "We're just missing some snacks." Alcina whispered, grinning. "After. This moment is amazing." You whispered, feeling sleep pull at you. "I want to cuddle forev-" You mumbled, feeling sleep cradle you.
