A story as old as time, a wolf buried beneath the fur coat of a sheep--fangs disguised just beneath the thick white surface. It was a great benefit to him that she was oblivious to his intent, a loss of a meal was the last thing on his to-do list.
His engulfing stare was enough to swallow up the attention of anyone who dared to look deep enough in his eyes, as vast as an ocean but not not tinted to be as refreshing as one. Chocolate browns mixed with subtle hues would taunt the victim to go further, travel farther than they ever should go.
So they would fall right into the jaws of the predator, never to return, nor crawl out.
Blood cells would rush and swirl to the cheeks of the young woman standing before him, creating a blossom of red like a morning flower. Corners of wolfish mouth would continue to be raised into the charming smile that convinced too many. She was like a ripened peach before him, perfect for plucking straight from the tree---
BITING DEEP TO SAVOR EACH FIBER.
His coarse hands brought a strange comfort, the illusion of life within them only available through the little body heat Jerry could give off--otherwise the man before her would feel like an icicle.
“Nah, but thanks for the offer sweetheart, I appreciate it.” His focus remained upon her face, knowing how flustered she could become, Jerry knew this to be an advantage to add to his arsenal. “Mm, call me picky if you like. I just have a particular TASTE.”
