Beware the Margay

"What would you do, to set me free?"

"Anything," I replied immediately.

"If... If you claim me as your wife, I won't be your slave. And if you're a poor husband, I can leave whenever I want."

I sighed, "Will that work though? You won't have any repercussions?" I felt her pointed nose brush my cheek as she shook her head. "Alright, how do we do this?"

"Declare that you wish for me to be your wife. If I am receptive, I will agree."

"That's it?"

She nosed my cheek again, "Yes."

"I Samuel, declare that I wish for you, Maria, to become my wife."

Maria sighed softly, before pressing her lips to my cheek and kissing me softly. Her close contact made me twitch, as she brushed the whiskers I didn't realise I had. "I accept, husband."

Sighing, I waited for a few moments as her arms came up around me. She nestled in, making soft crooning noises. "Are... Are you going to divorce me now? You're free."

Maria leaned forward, opening her mouth and gave my shoulder a gentle bite. It wasn't hard enough to break the skin, and... It was somewhat endearing. "Will my husband abuse me?"

Fuck

"No," I sighed softly.

Maria made a small noise as she snuggled in closer. She even went as far as lifting a leg over my own, but she was extremely careful not to disturb my wound. "If you will not abuse me, why would I leave?"

"Because I'm not from this world? Because I used to be human? Because I was sent by the Goddess Bast to mess with things, which will probably make people angry."

Maria lifted herself and crawled up my body to stare into my eyes. "The people of this world hunt my kind. If I were caught alone, in the open, how I was the night you found me, I'd have been raped, brutalised and forced to carry children I would never be allowed to love. At least if they hated me, they might just kill me."

I just stared into her eyes, noticing the gold flecks amongst the deep brown. Her hand came up and gently stroked the side of my face, down to my chin, making me purr without realising. Shaking my head to bring my thoughts back into clarity, I froze as Maria leaned in and kissed me.

Her lips were soft. Far softer than I imagined. Her breath was sweet and her skin smelled of the earth and rain. Pulling away, she looked down at me, before smiling softly and leaning in for a second kiss. As her mouth met my own, I gave in and put my hands on her. Her skin was smooth, but I could feel the densely packed muscles beneath. She was a little powerhouse if I guessed right. One of her strong hands grabbed one of mine, and pulled it to her breast. Like her skin, it was soft, but it also showed that she was firmer than a human. Her breasts were firm and not quite as bouncy as a human's would be. As I tweaked her nipple, she moaned softly, before grabbing my hand and using it to crush her breast. I was worried about hurting her, but the expression on her face told me otherwise.

Taking both breasts in my hands, I squeezed them uncomfortably tight. But her beaming smile told me she only felt pleasure as she wriggled above me. That's when I felt it. Odd, cold and strange. Glancing down, I could see my cock extending from it's sheath. It was a little thicker than I imagined, but far shorter than I was expecting. It was dark in colour, like the skin of my paw pads. Maria saw it too, as she reached down and gently caressed it. I moaned softly at her touch as my cock throbbed between us.

"Husband?" She whispered softly.

I looked her in the eye and saw her expression. She wanted to know if this was okay. What man was about to deny her in this situation? Nodding my head, she smiled and lifted herself. Raising my cock to position it below her, I gaped as the sleeve pushed back, exposing more of my cock.

"Husband is so big," she exclaimed.

I couldn't help but agree. I thought I'd be relying on thickness to please her, but, this looked like it was more human sized, than for my four foot stature. Even then, large for human size would be the best description. I guessed around eight inches long and thick as a can of deodorant. It was mostly straight, with an odd, triangular head, that Maria pushed through her labia. She moaned softly and I couldn't help but lick my lips at the slick feeling of her actions.

I felt the head of my cock, fit into the opening of her pussy and she bounced on it softly for a few moments. Looking up, she was staring into my eyes. I reached up and tucked her hair behind an elongated ear, before pulling her head down for a soft kiss. She immediately supported herself, not putting any weight on me at all. And as we kissed, she relaxed her legs, lowering herself onto my cock. It must have been a strain for her, as she gasped and whimpered as overwhelming tightness gripped my cock like a fist. If not for how slick she was, I'd have been worried about her tearing, but she refused to stop until, somehow, my entire length was buried inside her.

"Husband," she panted.

"Wife," I replied.

Maria shook softly, before her pussy clenched over my cock. I felt her muscles pull rhythmically on my cock, massaging it as she came on me. But even before she came down from her high, Maria started rocking. On her hands and knees, she simply moved back and forth, impaling herself on my cock over and over again. The whole time, she keened and made soft chirping noises. I on the other hand, gasped and made small cat-like yowls as I purred constantly. I had no idea how I did it, but it was instinctual. Maria leaned down, laying part of herself on my chest, without applying pressure, bouncing her hips as she moved.

"Husband, bite?"

I looked as she turned her head slightly, giving me access. "You want me to bite you?"

"Yes," She moaned, rocking her hips faster.

I was struggling at this point. Her tight little pussy was demanding I fill her, but I had no idea if it was safe to do so. Thinking it might be a good distraction, I leaned forward and bit, gently into her shoulder. Maria groaned and shook her head.

"Harder."

Frowning, I did as she asked, firming.

"Harder husband!" She moaned.

Biting firmer still, I worried about piercing her skin. "Harder!" She snapped. "Mark me! Make me yours!"

Something inside me snapped. Flicking out my claws, I sunk them into her hips. Yanking her against my hips, Maria let out a long squeal as I sunk my teeth into her shoulder. I could taste blood as my fangs sliced into her flesh and Maria thrashed on top of me. I'd have thought I was hurting her, except her own nails were now clutching to my shoulders as she screeched out her pleasure.

Feeling a throb of my own, I swelled inside her. Her impossibly tight pussy started feeling more so until Maria was practically screaming, despite her frantic attempts to fuck herself senseless. With a feline snarl, I gripped her hard, and fired the first rope of cum inside her.

"Yes!" She keened. "Husband yes!"

I snarled, relishing the flavour of her life essence as she thrashed above me as I emptied myself inside her, one pump after the other. It was a different sensation than when I was a human. It was still undeniably an orgasm of my own, but it dragged out in length. Each throb of my cock, jetted out more cum than should have been possible, but far slower than a human would. The strangest thing however, was that none of it leaked out of her.

"Husband," Maria gasped. Pulling my teeth free, I was suddenly worried I'd hurt her, but she sat up, smiled and gently pulled away the bandage to check my wound. "You're bleeding. I need to change this."

She leaned down and I gently kissed her as she rocked to pull herself off my cock. Only, as she did, my hips tried to go with her.

"Ah, husband?" She said softly.

Looking down, it took me a moment to realise the problem as she tried to lift off me again. The knot that had formed in the base of my cock was large enough to lock me inside her. And as she tried to pull away, the gentle rocking motions seemed to spur me on and I felt myself becoming aroused.

"It'll go down eventually," Bast said in my ear. "One of the small changes I put in place."

Maria must have heard it too, as she blushed, before taking the initiative and rocking her hips. She was adorable as she bit her lip while staring down at me. I just had to remember that sex was never going to be something casual.

"You don't know the half of it," Bast giggled.

Chapter Three - 8975

I was upright this morning as Dave walked into the room with Calistia behind him. He wore an odd smirk, while the fierce mantid had a strange expression on her face. The reason I was upright was because Maria propped me up on some pillows and was feeding me something that resembled porridge. It also gave me my first decent look around the room. The walls, ceiling and floor were all the same coloured stone. There were no windows, no breeze, no sound except what echoed through the door and light came from oil lanterns mounted on the wall. The furniture was a simple dresser, the bed I lay on and a small table with two chairs on the far side of the room.

"Good morning Samuel," Dave said softly. "Maria, how are you this morning?"

Maria blushed and beamed furiously, even as she missed my mouth with the spoon and pressed it into my whiskers instead. "I am wonderful, Eldar."

"Samuel, would you agree?"

I sighed, brushing the sticky mess out of my fur, before giving Maria a quick smile so she knew it was okay. "It would be better if I wasn't confined to this bed. Maria has been very devoted, but there are some... Bodily functions I prefer to do alone."

Maria leaned into my chest, snuggling into my fur. I couldn't help the goofy smile that broke across my face as I gently stroked her back with my paws.

"So, I take it, your union was voluntary?" Dave continued in a tone that made me think he had a specific reason for asking.

I caught the look from Calistia and nodded. "It was Maria's idea actually. She said if I elevated her status by making her my wife, she could declare that I was a poor husband, and she could leave."

Dave smirked, "Maria?"

"My husband has yet to show me he is a poor husband," she said softly, rubbing her face into the fur on my chest. "I may even be with child."

I jumped slightly hearing those words, before groaning as I pulled on my wound. Maria immediately let off, before checking the wound over. Her relieved expression told me I was fine, but it didn't stop the mad throbbing in my side.

"What's the damage anyway?"

"The knife cut through two of your ribs, severed some muscle and left a small cut on the bottom of your lung," Dave said quickly. "If he were using anything other than a goblin blade, it probably would have gone right through you."

I grimaced as Maria pressed herself to me again.

"Spose that was lucky then," I sighed.

Dave chuckled softly in his strange, harsh voice. "If you were lucky, you WOULDN'T have been stabbed. That being said, I wouldn't recommend you performing those actions again. Crushing the windpipe of an enemy works, but if you're capable of getting that close, you could use a knife."

I thought about those words for a moment. Going for the throat like I had was instinctual. I knew it would work and it did. But I was nearly given a fatal wound for it. I wasn't the big, tough, monster cat I acted like. I needed to play smart, rather than strong.

"I'll keep that in mind, thank you."

Without warning, Calistia exploded into action. Tearing around the shocked Dave, her bladed forearms came up. Instantly, I rolled Maria over, shielding her with my own body. My ribs pained terribly, as I opened the wound yet again, but if I was about to die, it wouldn't matter. But no mortal blow came.There was no pain, no cutting. I could still feel everything I needed to feel.

"Calistia!" Dave snapped.

Turning my head, I could see her standing beside the bed. She had a conflicted expression on her face as she stared down at me. She looked defeated for a moment, as I swore a tear rolled down her cheek. But in an instant, she turned and rushed from the room as quickly as she arrived.

"Get some rest Samuel," Dave said, rubbing his face.

As he turned and left, I finally loosened my grip on Maria, who frantically went for more medical supplies. Glancing down, I could see red leaking through my bandages again. The remainder of my day was made up by laying in bed beside a beautiful naked goblin. My wife. It was a strange concept to me. I spent my whole life as a human, rejecting friendships, relationships and closeness with anyone. If I felt the need, I could visit a few bars, or spend a bit of cash for an evening with a lady. But I never kept them around, preferring my solitary existence. And here I was, on what was probably only my second day in a brand new world. In a body I didn't recognize. Laying beside a creature that didn't exist. My wife, who had just minutes before, reminded me about the lack of contraceptives in this world.

"Heavy thoughts?" Maria whispered softly, as she cut up pieces of an unknown, but tasty meat, while seated at the table. It was seasoned with salt and herbs I didn't recognize. It was strange, but oh so very good as well. I'd apparently shown I enjoyed it, so she'd retrieved a second helping for me.

Maria paused in her cutting, before turning a concerned expression towards me. Wincing slightly, I pushed myself to the edge of the bed and stood. My chest ached slightly, but I ignored it as I moved to Maria. Her startled expression as I pushed myself upright, changed to wonder as I gently cupped her face and kissed her. As I pulled away, she smiled softly at me, so I kissed her again.

"Thank you for being my wife," I said softly, kissing her a third time.

Maria's eyes watered slightly, before she pressed herself into my chest and cried quietly. The whole time, I stroked her back and combed her hair with my fingers.

I awoke the next morning with Maria wrapped around me. She was drooling on the pillow beside me. Her sharp teeth were on display and for whatever reason, I found myself admiring all the differences between her, and a human woman.

"Bast?"

"Yes, Samuel?"

"Did you know that I would fit in this world better, than a human one?"

"I knew you didn't fit in a human world," Bast said after a few moments. "Did I know you would fall in love with the first goblin woman you spotted? No. No, that was even a surprise to me."

A small sniff caught my attention and I glanced down. Maria was staring up at me with big eyes as tears rolled down her cheeks. I just smiled and leaned down to kiss her softly.

"Plea-"

"I love you," I said, cutting off her question.

"Thank you," Maria said.

"You're welcome," Bast said, clearly to both of us. "You will make a fine first wife."

Maria nodded as she pulled herself close. I smiled, then paused. "First?"

"Oh yes," Bast said with a tone that told me she was enjoying my morals being twisted.

"Our family will be strong," Maria said softly.

I gave the small woman a squeeze, "Don't you want me to yourself?"

Maria pulled back and gave me an odd frown. "Husband, why would I keep you to myself? As the champion of a goddess, many will seek you out. Why should I be the only one to enjoy you?"

"Thank you Bast," I said sarcastically, and received a humored laugh in response.

"You should rest," Maria said softly.

I shook my head though. "I need to get up. I've been in this room since the attack. I need to stretch my legs."

She frowned, but nodded her head, "I will escort you."

With that small win, Maria still insisted on feeding me herself like she had the day before. I tried to explain that if I was capable of getting up and moving around, I was capable of feeding myself. But she laughed and refused to hand over the spoon. In the end it was easier to let her have her way. With breakfast over, Maria left with our dishes and returned with an armful of rough, brown fabric. She set it on the bed and unravelled her bundle, to show me it was a form of clothing.

"I asked Dave what you should wear. The Neko's in the north wear something similar."

"Neko's?" I asked, examining the garment. It seemed to be a small dressing gown that would cover my shoulders to my knees, but remain mostly open, to allow me to move freely.

"They are a feline race," Maria said, taking the garment and beginning to dress me. "Fierce, dangerous creatures. They are much larger than you or I. Bigger than humans even."

I wondered at that. I was aware there were humans in this world as well. But considering the times, I was sure they were probably far more ruthless than the relatively lazy humans of the modern world. It was oddly comforting to know there was something else out there to threaten them. I'd seen what humans would do to a planet if left to their own devices.

Maria, now with my arms in the short sleeves, pulled the garment closed at my front. A pair of ties held it together along with a fabric belt around my middle. My immediate reaction was to think it was a little ridiculous. But with all my fur, it wasn't as if I needed to protect my modesty. Besides, now I had a couple pockets.

"Where would you like to go?"

I smiled, "Wherever you wish to show me."

Maria smiled, before taking my hand. I expected her to just hold it, but she pulled my entire arm across her chest and held it with both hands. My arm was left hanging between her breasts, with my hand resting gently at her navel. But she seemed happy and it wasn't uncomfortable as she led me from the room. Like before, I found myself concentrating on balance. Each step I took had to be calculated and my tail whipped around behind me, trying to keep me balanced. Unlike Maria's sturdy three toed foot, I was stuck essentially walking on the balls of my feet. But I managed a decent pace as Maria steered me down the hall and out of the room.

Our first stop was to the surface. As it turns out, we lived in the abandoned remains of a dwarven mine. Maria assured me they haven't killed any dwarves for it. They had mined out the resources they wanted and left. They had been living here for many years now.

"What were you doing out in the forest then?"

Maria smiled, thinking about me saving her, I'm sure. "There is a nearby settlement we trade with. A neutral town where many races meet. A lamia there had information for a shipment of goblin women, but wanted to trade the information for medicine."

"So there were more than a few of you," I recalled from the evening.

Maria nodded, "More than even the Lamia knew. After negotiating with the lamia for the supplies, we found the slavers on their way to the markets. I made a sleeping poison that we slipped into their water supply and when most of them fell ill." Maria shrugged slightly with a smile. "We just unlocked the cages and brought as many back as we could."

"Why wouldn't they all come?"

"Some were distrustful. Others prefer to live solitary lives. A few had been caught away from their homes and wished to return. The rest, mostly goblins, came back with us."

I nodded as we stepped around a corner and immediately into the setting sunlight. Maria led me past a goblin guard and out into the open. Not only were we in a mine, but the mine entrance was set high up on the side of a mountain. From here I could see for miles over the forest. From my guess, I was as far from the river now, as I was when I climbed that tree to get my bearings that first day. But now, instead of being in the middle of the valley, I was at the far edge. From this height, I could also see a few patches where trees had been cleared, and light smoke trails were visible in the fading sunlight.

"It will be dark soon," Maria said softly.

"I'm not sure that's a problem for cats," I smiled.

Maria nodded. "Come husband. I should show you the halls and where to find food."
