#19 Opposites

Fiction:

Oh look at that walk. If it wasn’t coming my way then it would have been really sexy. And deadly as hell.

The tigress smiled. She knew the deer. She knew he always did that. That is why she never hunted him. That is why she always let him go.

There he is. Just a leap away and she would have his throat in her jaws. And the thing is probably the deer wouldn’t fight back.

He would probably insist that if any tiger should take his life then it should be her.

He was infatuated with her. He a simple herbivore, was obsessed with her.

‘You know my mate could be here any minute. If he so much as glances at you he will pounce. You will die and we will feast over your flesh.’ She purred.

She expected him to surrender. She knew him, his obsession didn’t allow him to stand up to her. He has done that before. He would follow her like a puppy. Like a sheep. But she didn’t see this coming.

‘He would not catch me. You know he is getting slow. And have you any idea how old he is?’

She stopped dead in her tracks.

‘You could catch me. Or you could get tired chasing. But I’m not getting caught by that senile cat. You could try chasing me with him.’

He let that sink in for a minute, let her regain her balance and hit her again.

‘Or you could leave him. And come with me’

Tigress was speechless. She knew he liked her. But this… This was a proposal!

‘I would await you at the end of the valley tonight. If you are not there till morning then I will take my leave’

He turned around, slugging and dragging his feet. A few steps later he stopped and said ‘Maybe the next time I will fall for my species’
