Kaelan still reeling from the shock of the tentacled attack, his mind screaming in livid protest against the mere presence of Ryuu's slimy appendage. He was standing, partially exposed, his towel barely clinging to his waist, facing off against his most annoying and sexually charged friend.
"You need to leave, NOW," Kaelan ground out, his voice a low, throbbing threat. His hands were clenched, his muscles corded, ready to strike, but Ryuu was too fast, too fluid, and too far gone in his rising state of heat and mischievous sexual provocation.(sigh)
Ryuu's grin widened, his golden eyes glittering with a predatory amusement that mirrored Ignis's, "Aw, Kaelan, don't be so uptight. You're so tense. We need to loosen you up."
Without warning, the full, grotesque shift occurred. Ryuu wasn't just a boy with a few tentacles; he was an octopus Shifter with full-shift capability, and he used it. His human skin dissolved into slick, purplish lavender skin, and his frame melted and reformed into a dense, muscular central body from which eight powerful, sucker lined tentacles sprouted. He became a shimmering, imposing mass of aquatic muscle and sheer, raw aggression.
The transformation was fast and fluid. The air immediately grew thick with the heavy, musky pheromones of Ryuu's full-blown heat.
Kaelan, despite his innate fearlessness and years of militant disbelief, stumbled back. The sight was undeniably magical, undeniably real, and intensely disgusting to his touch-averse nature.
Before Kaelan could fully recover from the visual, the tentacles lashed out. They were strong, quick, and inescapable. ( for Chris sake) .,
Two tentacles shot forward, wrapping securely and tightly around Kaelan's torso, pinning his arms to his sides. His towel was immediately displaced, falling to the wet floor with a soft thud. Kaelan was left completely exposed, save for the massive, dark cat tail that whipped and strained furiously behind him.
His livid screams were trapped in his throat as two more tentacles secured his legs, pulling him flush against Ryuu's slick, warm, full-shifted body.
The proximity, the total, encompassing invasion of his personal space, the sheer weight of the physical restraint—it all pushed Kaelan past his breaking point. His entire body went rigid with an overwhelming spike of revulsion and outraged panic.
His cat ears were plastered back, shaking with violent distress and enraged impotence.
"Get off me, you slimy freak!" Kaelan roared, struggling against the unbreakable grip. His martial arts training was useless; he couldn't generate the leverage needed to escape the powerful suction cups, he let a involontaire cat hissing sounds.
Then suddenly the situation escalated to a catastrophic level of violation of personal privacy and space . Two of the remaining tentacles, slick and purposeful, moved down. One wrapped around Kaelan's buttocks, squeezing and palpating the flesh with aggressive intimacy. The final tentacle, with shocking audacity, began to gently, then purposefully, slide upward, groaning and feeling Kaelan's private part with clinical, sexual curiosity.
Ryuu—who was now truly in the throes of his aggressive, rampant heat—began to grind his lower body forcefully against Kaelan, a simulation of sex that was utterly, physically invasive and abhorrent to Kaelan. The full-shift meant the humping motion was strong and insistent.
"So tight,ah!," Ryuu breathed, his voice a distorted, gurgling sound coming from his large form. "Such good muscles. Perfect for a clutch. Just like I heard."
Kaelan's mind went blank with pure, blinding fury. The disgust, the forced intimacy, the public exposure of his magical form, and the total lack of respect for his boundaries completely obliterated his ability to reason.
A raw, animalistic sound—a terrifying mixture of a human scream and a cat's battle-snarl—tore from Kaelan's chest.
He couldn't use his arms, so he used his mouth. He lunged forward, teeth bared, his canine cat teeth extended and sank it teeth into the tough, muscled flesh of Ryuu's closest tentacle. He bit down with the frantic, desperate force of a trapped animal.
Ryuu shrieked, a high-pitched, guttural sound of surprise and pain. The tentacles loosened momentarily in a flash of shock.
That was all Kaelan needed. He tore his legs free, kicking out violently. His massive, fluffy cat tail, propelled by his surging adrenaline and unbearable indignation, swung up and delivered a hard, powerful thwack against Ryuu's face a move Kaelan didn't even know he was capable of.
"I will kill you!" Kaelan shrieked, scrambling back, grabbing a shower curtain rod and brandishing it like a makeshift sword. His entire body was shaking with an overwhelming cocktail of rage, disgust, and residual panic.
The bathroom door burst open. Marcus and Tamsin were standing there, their argument instantly forgotten, their eyes wide with horror at the sight of Kaelan, naked save for a towel and a large, fluffy tail, brandishing a metal rod at a fully shifted, lavender colored octopus Shifter , who was clutching a profusely bleeding tentacle.
"Ryuu?, RYUU IS IN Heat! IT A Bad SIGN! Back off!" Marcus yelled, his paramedic training kicking in as he registered the full shift and the level of aggression, Marcus stand closer near tamsin .
Tamsin, however, looked directly at Kaelan, taking in his shaking form, his terror, and his enraged eyes. Her face, usually so guarded, was etched with protective fury.
"Kaelan, get dressed," Tamsin commanded, her fox ears flat with deadly seriousness. She turned to the Shifter. "Ryuu, you listen to me right now. You violated his personal privacy and You abused your shift power . You will be leaving this apartment immediately, or I will call my pack, and they will neuter your tentacles."
Ryuu, reeling from the pain of the bite and the sudden threat from the usually calm Tamsin, shrank, the intensity of his heat momentarily disrupted. His tentacles loosened further, and he began the messy process of retracting his shift, his purple skin retreating as his human form reasserted itself.
Kaelan didn't wait. He snatched his clothing, darted behind the flimsy shower curtain, and began to dress, his movements jerky and violent. He didn't care about their presence. He was simply livid. He was going to find Ignis, and he was going to find that Dragon King's weakness, or Kaelan would burn the entire city down trying. He had reached his absolute limit of magical, physical, and personal space violation. (^-^)
