âYouâre trembling.â
âSorry, Iâm not trying to.â
âThereâs no need for you to push yourself, darling, I told you-â
âNo, I want to really!â The tiny leaned forward to put their hands on the predatorâs lips, silencing them. They sat on their massive palm, cupped gently and held up close to their face. âItâs simply thatâŚâ
âThat?â They propped their face in their unoccupied hand, making sure to keep their other hand steady.
The tiny huffed, trying to find the right words. âItâs⌠I know I want to try being devoured, it sounds so cozy! And I trust you completely, I want you to know that for a fact; I love you and thereâs no one Iâd rather do this with, I know youâd never hurt me. But⌠But itâs like thereâs some part of me that feels an instinctual fear when I actually see you open your mouth, when I see your throat looming before me.â They sigh, leaning forward on their elbows and putting their face in their hands. âAh, itâs so frustrating!â
The predator hummed, finger tapping against their cheek as they thought. âThen how about⌠What if you avoid actually looking?â
They sat up straight, smiling wide âWhat if you close your eyes? You can sit back and let me take care of everything. I promise I will be gentle~â
âClose my eyes, huh? I guess itâs worth a shot.â If the problem really was simply them loosing their resolve when faced with the sight of it, then maybe this way they could be brave.Â
The tiny nodded to them self, coming to their conclusion. Taking a breath to compose them self, they closed their eyes.
They felt the giant hand underneath them shift, and a large finger rubbed soothingly against their small form. âLike I said, let me take care of everything, my darling~â
In front of them, they felt a gust of warmth wash over them and shivered slightly, but otherwise kept still. Two fingers gripped their sides gingerly, lifting them into the air. Moving in such a way without being able to see was a little terrifying, but dutifully they kept their eyes squeezed tightly shut.Â
A warm, damp surface brushed their legs in a feather light lick, surprisingly gentle for such a massive creature. Still, they couldnât help the involuntary twitch at the contact.
âAre you ready?â Their giantâs voice was low, soothing, but still reverberated through them.
The tiny swallowed once, moving their head in a few quick, jerky nods.
âI need to hear you say it out loud.â The warmth from each word tickled them, their breath like a caress around their form.Â
âIâm ready.â They said.
They felt themselves be lowered slowly, until their legs were completely engulfed in that warmth theyâd only felt from a distance. Their body tensed, but they felt their predatorâs massive tongue swirling around their legs, and the motion and itâs warmth caused them to start to relax their muscles. They felt a tug on their legs as the giant lightly swallowed, but not enough to pull them further. They felt the pressure on their legs lighten, and the prey was lowered further into the cavern below them.Â
They couldnât see the change, but from behind their eyelids they could tell the change in the light, they could feel the cool be replaced by a humid warmth wrapping around them.
The fingers withdrew, settling the prey on the slick surface of the predatorâs tongue. The light cut off further, and they knew they were sealed in.
The tongue started moving slowly underneath them, gently pushing them to the sides, rubbing across them, swirling them around experimentally. Their hands pressed into the dense muscle, feeling the taste buds underneath.
From behind them, a low moan rose up all around them, moving through them like a deep bass.Â
They could practically feel the anticipation from the giant, the tongue barely restrained from over eagerly seeking every bit of flavor from the tiny. Saliva now coated them, pooling all within the mouth.
Finally, the tongue slowed to a stop, only to rise up and push them against the ridged surface of the cavernâs roof. They could feel the space tightening around them, the second stretching on and on as the muscles behind them contracting, preparing, waiting. And then the swallow came.Â
The throat pulled at their feet, dragging them in up to the waist. The pressure gripped their legs, tight and demanding. It pulled them in again, wrapping their shoulders in itâs embrace. It was constricting and near impossible to do more than wriggle slightly, which the tiny noted elicited another low groan that vibrated throughout them even stronger now, but it wasnât uncomfortable. No, it felt⌠nice. Like a tight hug that held them safely and tenderly.
A third swallow and the throat completely claimed the prey. They felt another force pushing against them too, from what must have been the outside, and realized the predator had their finger pressed firmly against their own throat, feeling the shape of itâs tiny occupant move. With each movement they made the predator only seemed to enjoy it more, humming and moaning, and the sounds grew near deafening with the following swallows, each one pulling them tantalizingly slowly deeper and deeper into the giantâs body. Muscles pulsing all around them, insistently grabbing at them like a greedy child.Â
The next swallow found their feet poking into a wider space, and the one after that pushed them slowly from the throat, spilling into the space to stretch and occupy it fully.
Above and around them, they heard a low sigh of pleasure, and a weight settled on them from the outside. âYou okay?â The predator asked.
The prey took a slow, steady breath, their hands stretching out to the sides to move over the slick surfaces of the walls pulsing around them. âYeah, yeah Iâm fine.â
âGood.â The weight from outside shifted, moving in a circular motion, rubbing into the stomach. âWere you scared?â
âA bit, yeah, butâŚâ
âBut it felt nice too. This place, it feels like a hug.â They leaned forward to press them self against the same wall that the predator had their hand pressed to, pushing their own much smaller hands firmly into the surface and snuggling against it. The predator purred in content, and the happy rumble deepened when the prey kneaded their hands into the solid, plush wall. They could feel the predator shift, and it felt like they were curling protectively around their stomach, their hands holding the area almost reverently.
After a moment where neither spoke, merely enjoying the feeling of warm, the intimate closeness they shared, the predatorâs voice rumbled around the prey again. âOut of curiosity, are your eyes still closed?â
âMhm.â They hummed, nodding into the flesh.
âYou know it wonât make make a difference anymore, right? I imagine itâs pitch dark in there, nothing to scare you.â
âI know, but, it still feels nice. Honestly, itâs so warm and comforting in here, I feel like I could fall asleep.â
The predator laughed, and if the prey thought the sound was lovely from the outside, it was absolutely beautiful to be wrapped by completely. âThen go ahead and take a nap, itâs okay.â
âAre you sure? I mean, is it weird to do during our first time trying this?â
âIâm fine with it. I think I could use a nap too; with such a nice full belly, I know I will have some sweet dreams~ Go on, I told you Iâd take care of everything, so get comfortable.â
âNo problems there.â The prey snuggled deeper against the stomach wall, and the muscle responded by tightening around them, holding them securely in place, the pulsing movement felt like being pet by a massive hand. They yawned, the warmth kissing their skin and sinking deep into them. âGood night, love.â
