Comment: A quick drabble for the Tigress/Tai Lung shippers and a sign of life from me. I've had some rough times, but I haven't stopped working on my series. (I hope there is still some interest in them even after these delays...) I'm not dead yet, so let's see how things move from here. For now... enjoy!
Moments after the start of his ambush, Tai Lung drove me straight against the nearest tree. His hand was on my neck, and I knew from our past meetings that the slightest pressure would cause great pain until eventually, it'd break my spine.
"Release me!" I hissed, trying to sound far more in control than I was. But we both knew it would be pointless. He had seen through my bluff months ago on the bridge, and this situation was even more one-sided. Still, something would be missing if I simply gave in.
"I was hoping you'd resist." He came closer, his body pressing against mine. I was longing for his touch, but I wouldn't reward him that easily. "Let's see how long you'll last this time." He leaned down until I could feel his warm breath on my neck. "I'll make you beg..."
"Drop dead!" My right arm moved behind my back, trying to grab him. It was a stupid move, of course. In a real fight, he simply would've snapped my neck. But here and now, I knew he was expecting me to struggle. It was all part of our little dance. He effortlessly caught my wrist and pinned it against the tree in one swift move. And then his lips touched my fur, kissing me ever so softly. "Ohhhhhhhh..." I gasped softly and smiled.
He nuzzled my neck and slowly released me. "Next time," he whispered as he moved his hands down to my belt, "try to at least fight back before I pin you."
I leaned against him and purred. "Why wait?" Before he could even ask what I had meant, my elbow had found his side. Even as he was stumbling backwards, I pounced. Because like I said - I wouldn't reward him that easily.
