Radiance Ch. 09

When Seven finally turned around Visa's heart both froze and leapt about in her chest all at once, she'd been trying her hardest to remain regal and dignified the entire time he was stripping his annoying clothing off, she'd also tried her hardest not to stare at him and to give him some measure of dignity and privacy, she'd failed on all fronts.

She didn't know why humans insisted on wearing those annoying garments to cover themselves up, she guessed it had something to do with their frailty and fragility, all she knew is whatever the reason they were maddening, it was like a present that insisted on remaining wrapped at all times only hinting at what was inside, while at any point he could pretty much see her in all her regal glory.

But when he turned Visa's reality simply broke clean in two, she'd been trying to get to grips over the last couple of days with what was happening to her, how these strange feelings towards the strange human were changing her, while also not only trying to deny them but also to understand them, but when she saw him, her denial and resistance all came crashing down around her.

He was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen, no beautiful wasn't strong enough a word to describe him, he was exquisite.

His caramel white skin looked so incredibly soft, it also contrasted so beautifully with his snow-white fur making it really stand out, not to mention that rosy blush colour that she loved seemed to be all over him now.

His delicate features and musculature begged to be explored by curious clawed hands, he looked so fragile and delicate like a beautiful blooming flower showing its radiance to the world for the first time, something to be cherished and treated with such delicateness that his body practically called to her, it was like his silk soft-looking hide was full of magnets trying to pull her claws to it, that's when she caught sight of his most sacred treasure and she felt her breath catch in her chest.

It was a very strange shape compared to that of a male claw, but that didn't make it in any way ugly or repulsive, infact quite the opposite.

To Visa's surprise and guilty delight it was almost the same size as that of a male claw, most people would think that given their size that male claws would be huge in that department but this simply wasn't so, male claws usually topped out about the ten to twelve-inch long mark, but for the most part they were about eight to nine, plus the way it was shaped was very different, but this human had more than enough to satisfy even the most demanding of female claws.

A male claw's maleness was wide at the root and tapered into a very thin pointed tip that was flexible, from what she could see Seven looked to be about the same length as his name implied, about Seven inches long and a little thought scurried out into her brain wondering if the cruel doctor who had abused him named him this for that very reason.

That's when that thought caused a whole fireworks display of others to start popping up, he had been abused before, he had been treated poorly and denied gentleness and kindness, she would not ever let that happen to him again, most certainly not at her claws.

Before her brain could stop her she quickly jammed her own large clawed foot in her mouth as a single word tumbled out before she could stop it, "Exquisite" she said and instantly Seven's blush deepened considerably, "T-T-Thank you Visa you're very kind to say that" he stammered in such a cute embarrassed tone that it made Visa's heart utterly melt, he was utterly adorable and now stripped of his armour and protection he just looked so incredibly vulnerable.

All sorts of salacious thoughts were invading Visa's brain, popping out of the shadows like a game of whack-a-molerat, there were just so many she couldn't stop them and they were showing her such incredibly delicious and naughty things involving her and Seven, showing her all the things she could do not only with him but to him if only she would take that first step into the taboo.

Visa took both a mental and physical step forwards towards the vulnerable looking human, he looked up at her with eyes filled with what she figured was a mixture of nervousness, embarrassment but also hope and it was this last one that really pulled her in.

Visa's claws were literally shaking as she reached out towards him, this was it, no turning back, if she took this step and touched him and he let her then there was no turning back for her, she would be utterly in the unknown, the place of the heart that the eye does not see, a place of secrets, of secret wants and desires that only make themselves known when it is already too late.

Visa's large hand touched Seven's chest and he didn't swat it away or give her a look of disgust like some of the little black thoughts in the back of her mind were screaming to warn her about, instead he simply stood there and looked up at her as her brain was flooded with sensations radiating from her clawed hand.

His skin was like silk, soft, smooth, beautiful, plus it was so incredibly warm, it was like he had a little nuclear reactor in his chest, one that beat powerfully enough to send the most incredible vibrations along her claws, that's when it hit her, this was his heartbeat, it was like she was touching his heart.

"O-O-Oh wow" Visa breathed softly before she could stop herself, so far her attempts to appear regal and detached were failing miserably, she was like an adolescent claw who had just been looked at for the first time, how was he doing this to her? She was an alpha female claw and this tiny little adorable, cute, pretty human was turning her brain into a gibbering and bubbling mess and he wasn't even doing anything!

"S-Should we umm get into the bath?" Seven suggested his soft voice snapping her mind like someone twanging an elastic band inside her skull.

"Bath? Oh yes! Right! The bath of course!" Visa exclaimed as the reality of why they were actually in the room together slapped her across the face, she'd utterly forgotten, but now his words added even more images to the salacious whack-a-molerat game in her brain.

Quick as a flash she turned him and holding him by the shoulders she guided the surprised beautiful human towards the pool and with a squeal of surprise into the water which when she touched it she realised why he made such a surprised noise, the water was cold.

It wasn't freezing or anything but it was certainly colder than the room was and the quick flash of it took both of their breaths away as they slid in, it was also deeper than it looked as well coming up to Seven's chest in the centre and her waist just at her hips, but the surprising bit of the cold cause a reaction in her and the protective armoured scale flaps on her chest swells moved to one side causing her young feeding teats to become exposed, to her utter shock they also hardened and extended from her body.

Seven also chose that exact moment to turn around as he felt her grip on his shoulders slacken enough, she instantly saw his bright eyes go right to them obviously having never seen them before and a flash of anger and embarrassment shot through Visa as his eyes studied the large nubs of dark flesh that were now exposed to the air and for some reason tingling.

"I err um could wash you if you want Visa? there's err enough room for you to lay down here if you want?" Seven said.

Visa was instantly taken aback by this surprising boldness from the adorable human that was wrapped in that cotton soft adorableness of his, it utterly disarmed her, she'd been bracing herself to demand what he was staring at but then his words robbed her of her venom, they were just so kind and gentle, plus the thought entered her head that she had been kinda staring at him this whole time as well so it really wasn't fair of her to have a go at him for doing the same now was it?

Especially as the part of him she'd been staring at the most was a damn sight more intimate than some teats, she also noticed that he suddenly seemed to be trying to hide it with his hands below the water and she wondered why for a moment, that was until she noticed that despite the coldness of the water, it had grown.

Visa's breath caught in her throat again and her heart bounced in her chest, had she done that to him? Had looking at her caused him to become aroused?

Suddenly she detected a spicy-sweet scent in the air that hadn't been there before and as she took a breath of it it made her brain all foggy and tingly, what was it? Where was it coming from?

She took a couple of sniffs then leaned forwards closing her eyes and following her nose until she found the source and took a very deep breath letting it fill her lungs and flood her senses, it was like breathing honey, suddenly Seven's voice snapped her back to reality again, "Err Visa? Are you ok? You umm appear to be sniffing me" he said and Visa's eyes snapped open.

She was met with a very close up view of Seven's beautifully defined chest and she instantly realised with a cold slap that the scent was his! Arousal pheromones, these were human arousal pheromones, or at least they were Seven's, she couldn't ever remember smelling anything like this from either any other human or any other being for that matter.

Visa stood up quicker than she intended and pushed Seven away from her by accident as her embarrassment flooded her again, Seven slipped over and splashed down into the water with a surprised cry.

A cold fearful shot hit her right in the chest, oh what if she'd hurt him!? Oh, she hadn't meant to! Oh, she could be so stupid at times.

Quick as a flash she reached into the water and fished him out, finding and wrapping her large hands around his torso to lift him, as he appeared from the water he coughed and spluttered and his snow-white fur clung to his head now soaked as it was.

"What the hell Visa!? A simple no would have sufficed! You didn't need to sniff me then try to drown me!" Seven exclaimed loudly and angrily.

A flash of anger at his harsh words lashed through her and she prepared to rebuke him, but then she realised she had been in the wrong, "I'm sorry Seven it was an accident, it was not my intention to push you down, I was merely curious as to the scent I was smelling, a female claw's sense of smell is very sensitive, it surprised me when I realised it was you and I reacted poorly and out of instinct, I apologise, you are not injured are you?" she said apologetically.

But rather than answer her Seven did something utterly out of character, he reached down and splashed the large female claw, Visa was utterly taken aback by this and it must have shown on her face because he splashed her again sending a mini-wave of cold water firing up over her chest which sent a flurry of tingles down her back, but when she looked at him for an answer she didn't see anger or malice in his eyes, she saw mirth and amusement, he was being playful.

That's when it clicked, he was trying to play with her and to defuse the situation, so with an evil smirk Visa lowered herself down a bit, she wasn't going to be outdone by a little cute human, n matter how pretty he was and with a single flick of her mighty tail she utterly drenched him with a wave of cold water it hit him with.

The mini-wave nearly knocked him off his feet but rather than look angry or even surprise his grin widened and to her utter surprise Visa found her heart fluttering like a bird in her chest, oh his smile was so so pretty, the way his face just seemed to light up and utterly glow was utterly sublime, "Not bad claw girl, not bad at all but not enough gun I'm afraid" he said making an odd gesture at her with his hand like he was miming pouring a cup of water over her head.

Visa grinned back and cocked her head curiously, "Oh? And just how much 'gun' do you have little one?" she shot back playfully.

"Look up," Seven said and visa did so and her mouth fell open, floating above her was a large perfect sphere of water like a miniature planet floating above her, the candlelight making it sparkle like it was made of pure crystal, that's when Seven released his hold on it and the ball fell, right on her head.

Visa gasped loudly as she was drenched by the ball and it knocked off her feet submerging her, while she was under the water she spun over and was presented with a rather close up view of Seven's beautiful body and suddenly a flash of heat ran right through Visa followed by a crashing wave of desire that lit her whole body aflame, starting in her loins.

This took Visa utterly by surprise, yes she thought he was beautiful, yes she thought he was adorable and pretty, but now the stark realisation hit her like a hard slap, she wanted him, she actually wanted a human being, her body was yearning for his, suddenly those salacious thoughts burst through the protective mental wall she'd thrown up to contain them and she saw all sorts of wonderful things.

His hands running over and caressing her hide, those nimble little fingers getting into all the hard to reach spots between her scales, him touching her everywhere, kissing her all over with those soft-looking human lips, him lifting her tail and...........

It was like a bubble inside Visa just popped, try as she might, she simply couldn't deny it, she had fallen for him, she didn't know how, or even why, but the truth hit her hard, she was in love with a human being, she was in love with Seven and every fibre of her being cried out to her to make him hers and hers alone, but how does a claw go about seducing a human?

Visa had absolutely no clue how to proceed, but she had to do something and right now they were having fun simply playing with one another, maybe if she carried that on it would lead to an opportunity to get closer to him.

So like an alligator stalking its prey Visa moved and pounced, maybe human males were like claw males, after all a male is a male right?

So maybe a show of strength and dominance would win him over?

She burst out of the water grabbing Seven as she did but with a deft display of speed and agility rather than let him land hard on his back and crack his head on the hard stone which to a frail fragile creature like him could be even possibly lethal an outcome which would devastate Visa in a way she couldn't even begin to contemplate, she flicked her clawed hands around to his back and took the blow with the back of her hands as she pinned him.

One of her large hands was behind his head, the other spread across his back, the feel of his soft skin and supple muscles as he twisted and wriggled trying to free himself was utterly sublime and only served to turn that flame in her belly up to eleven.

Oh how she yearned to feel him writhe like that between her legs, to feel his glorious soft hide gliding over her own, but this was just play and she had to keep it that way until she was both sure she had both his interest and his attention, then she would strike and claim her prey.

Using both her tail and one large foot she had him utterly pinned and she leaned down to grin at him closely, he looked up at her and to her surprise and also to her delight he didn't show any sign of distress by being pinned down by her in this way, he simply grinned up at her but there was something curious to his expression, a kind of confidence that she rather liked.

"Wow you guys are surprisingly fast in the water," he said and she grinned down at him fighting an urge to lick his face just to taste his skin.

"A proud noble claw-like myself has to be prepared to hunt our prey on or in any terrain," she said proudly and he nodded.

"Yeah I can see that, well I guess you win the wrestling match since I really don't want or wish to hurt you to prove a point, plus I could really do without the headache right now, so umm would you err like me to wash your back or something now?" he said trying to keep his composure as he offered her his service again which utterly delighted her, it seemed he'd recognised her strength at the least, but then he had also challenged it which no noble claw such as her could ignore.

"Oh? Hurt me you say? And how would a fragile, pretty little thing like you do that?' she purred hoping that she was coming over as seductive and not either scary or creepy as all hell, his eyes seemed to sparkle with delight which made her heart flutter.

"I threw a tunnel at a bunch of ghouls remember? I literally just dropped a ball of water bigger than you on your head, you think I can't get out of a simple pinning hold?" Seven said confidently and suddenly Visa felt something utterly alien to her, self-doubt.

She'd utterly forgotten about how powerful the being pinned under her was, sure he looked all frail and cute and supremely cuddly, but he was anything but, that power of his while yes it did cripple him if overexerted could be used to supremely great effect, lifting her right off him would probably be no challenge to him at all given that in his own words he'd used it to tear apart a super mutant.

"So how about we call this one a draw?" he said softly and Visa felt a pang of annoyance, she'd never lost about in her life, play or otherwise, Seven suddenly seemed to notice her indecision and realised that she must be thinking of a way to beat him without hurting him which she infact was, so he did that noble thing that he often seemed to do, he offered a compromise.

"Tell you what Visa, I can see your pride is needling you right now as it's written all over your handsome face, so how about this, accept the draw and I'll give you something special, something you can't get from anyone else, you'll get a super special Seven exclusive claw wash, the only claw to ever experience it, how's that sound?" he said and Visa cocked her head.

"A super special Seven exclusive claw wash? What's that?" she asked curiously and Seven simply smiled that radiant smile at her.

"Gotta accept my terms to find out, a draw and nothing more, both us get a win, but you get an extra prize for being smart and noble about it," Seven said and Visa rather liked that, indeed she could show nobility in accepting terms here, so she took him at his word and nodded her head.

"Very well Seven in exchange for one of these super Special Seven claw washes I accept your terms, a draw and nothing more," she said and she slowly got off him letting him get up.

Seven stretched himself out as he rose to his feet and Visa couldn't help but watch him, it was like she had magnets in her eyes drawing them to gaze as all that supple human flesh on display and to her utter delight, this time he didn't let either his modesty or shame get the better of him and made no attempt to hide himself from her gaze, it was almost like he wanted her to look, he even smiled at her when he caught her.

To her pure delight he even seemed to flex his muscles a little when he caught her giving her a little private show, the fact that he wanted to show off for her made her burn with hunger and oh it made her so happy that he wasn't scared of her any more, well not entirely anyway, she still detected a little hinting note of fear interwoven in his pheromones and she rather liked that because it meant he respected her strength and power, as he should.

"Ok big girl I am a male of my word so take a seat and we'll get this wash underway," he said gesturing to the place where he'd just been himself sat, she nodded and slowly lowered herself down to take his spot on the floor, Seven looked at her for a moment then he moved in front of her and to her utter surprise stepped over her leg to stand between her long legs, this forced her to part them a bit for him to have enough room to stand, but it didn't appear to want to stand and as her heart began to pound harder and faster in her chest he hesitated slightly then knelt down between her thighs.
