Neytiri’s Feral Kink

Neytiri has a Feral Kink - Stay with me!

Neytiri has always known herself. known what she wants, what she values, what moves her. so when she first notices it — that hot, electric pull low in her belly when jake growls at her, when his eyes track her like prey — she doesn't know what to do with it.

it horrifies her, a little. this is not something she expected of herself. Its not something she's ever witnesses with anyone else in her clan.

she's a hunter. she leads the chase, she doesn't want to be chased. and yet...

The first time he grabs her tail, and a low rumble moves through his teeth and he moves for her — fast, deliberate — her whole body answers before her mind does. she puts distance between them quick, heart hammering, ears pressed back, tail moving quickly. She tells herself it was surprise. instinct. nothing more.

It keeps happening.

She starts noticing the pattern before she admits what she's doing. the way she'll linger just a half-step too long. hold eye contact a beat past comfort. say something she knows will make his jaw tighten. She notices that sometimes it doesn't matter what she does, it comes out of him anyway.

She's testing him. Drawing him out. Looking for the moment his patience cracks and he comes after her.

and every time he does — every time he catches her — she stops being horrified. Its different, but its him, its hers.

She starts understanding that this is a different kind of trust. not the trust of submission. the trust of knowing he will always come for her. That she can run and he will follow. that she can be feral and wild and difficult and he won't let her go.

She only gives this to him. her mate. the one person whose pursuit feels like safety instead of threat.

She gives him the chase. He gives her the catching.

it works. Its theirs.
