No pampered pets | Kraven x Reader

You know better than to challenge Sergei. It was only supposed to be a teasing comment. A month was a long time to be apart. Alone, in the wilderness, without another single soul to keep you company. Surely wanting one, single lazy morning together wasn't too much to ask?

"Sergei?" It's filled with hope and longing and a desperation.

"Kitten? What is it?" He sounds so concerned. Far more like your Sergei than he had this morning. The hand on your neck remains pinning you in place. "I thought you wanted to laze about all day in bed like some pampered pet."

"No more, Sergei. I'm too sore. It's been hours. Please, can you untie me? I'm sorry. Please, if you could just-"

The hand on the back of your neck tightens. "There's no use for pampered pets here, kitten. Only those who work to earn their keep, and those who deserve to be hunted. Which do you wish to be?"
