Winter's Knight

Chapter Two: New Home

The moment I saw her, I knew. I knew I had to have her and I'd kill anyone who might try to outbid me. So I went for it. I offerred so much money that I could pretty much garuntee no one would speak up. A few hours later we were in my room. I placed the little female on the bed loosened my tie. I went to my closet, snagging a plain grey t-shirt at her. I turned and tossed it to her and she caught it. "Put that on." I ordered. Before I could turn away, she started stripping naked and slipped my shirt over her head. "What would you have of me sir?" She asked with a sultry pur. I stifled a growl. No no Leo. There's time for that later. "For right now, we're going to tour your new home. You will have free rein over the house and it's servants and you will want for nothing." She shifted uncomfortably. "Or do what ever makes you comfortable." I sat beside her and patted her head, causing her to purr. "Look. I'm not going to sell you to anyone. You will be mine alone. You can speak your mind and your consent is important to me. You don't like anal? No anal. You don't like choking? No choking. You make the decisions in the bed room. You'r free now Winter." A million questions popped up in her eyes, but instead of asking, she held it in. "Speak." "You bought me. I belong to you. Whatever you want from me is what you'll have." She gave me a confused look while tilting her head. I sighed. "Ok, tell you what. I'll tell you what to do and when your comfortable, then speak your mind. Ok?" She nodded thank the gods. I couldn't believe the amount of brainwashing and conditioning she's had over her life. "So tell me about your life." "Oh no no no. That's...." She smiled and waved me away then suddenly gasped. The sheer look of terror on her face had my insides clenching. "Shhhhhh. Hey hey hey hey hey. Winter, this is what I wanted. If you don't want to talk about it you don't have too." I backed up more with my hands raised. I had to think of something to get her to relax and speak her mind. I finally have my coveted mate and she is so f****d up from brainwashing that I have to spend gods only know how long to fix it. "Tomorrow we go to see my parents and then I'll drop you off back here at home." "Yes sir." She said quickly. This was going to take a while. "Stop calling me sir. You will call me Leo or Baby or you don't speak to me at all." That made her smile. "Ok Leo." "Good. Now let's go tour your new home shall we?" "Yes." As I showed her our home, I noticed her begin to relax and laugh more. She began flirting and becoming less submissive. After we finished the tour I summoned all the servants and addressed them. "This is Winter Smith. She's the new lady of the house. Whatever she wants, she gets. Whatever she says, goes." A collective yes sir sounded as they returned to their duties. Later in my office I pulled out her file and began reading over it as she snooped around. My curious kitten. "Your paper work says you're a hybrid." "Mhm. I've always been forbidden to change though." I don't doubt it. Panthers were nothing to scoff at. Even Griffans gave them respect. "Well that just wont do." I stated. "I'll have the house renovated to accommodate your panther. But first, we need to see your true form. Shift." I watched her shift into a massive solid white panther that was almost as tall as me. A solid 6''3 and at least 14 ft long from nose to tail. I took pictures and jotted dow some measurements then texted them to my contractor. "I'll get this over to the designer. Also we,re getting jewels that will fit you when you shift." I offered her my arm. "Come my love. We have phone calls to make." She shifted and sat on our bed eating a bag of sun chips while vendors shoved jewels in her face. She hissed at one, clearly getting annoyed. "She'll take them all." They creamed their pants all at once and I signed the checks. "Buying things is annoying." She grunted. I fell back on the bed sighing. "I agree with you." She laid back on the bed as well and we looked at each other. "What's that smell?" I sat up, sniffing the air. The smell was sweet and delicious. I realized it was her. "I thought you were on birth control." "No. I've never gone into heat." "Must be the elf half." She shrugged. Note to self, study up on Elves. I couldn't stop sniffing her. I ignored the heavenly smell and sat up. "You wanna get something to eat?" I asked. "Mario's has really good pizza." She shrugged, stuffing a hand full of chips into her mouth. "Mario's it is then." I loved that she was coming around and starting to speak her mind more. It let me know she was relaxed and shaking off the conditioning. But there was one thing I wanted her to do. "Winter. I'm sorry to do this but I do have one command. You are to follow it at all times." She immediately nodded and listened. "You don't listen to anyone but me. If someone tired to tell you what to do, you get rude." She nodded. "Ok Leo." "Good girl." An hour later we were out on the veranda eating pizza and watching the sun set. After she had eaten her fill she shifted to enjoy the last bit of sun. I rubbed her head and back and she purred happily. We fell into a comfortable friendship over the next few weeks. The first meeting with my parents hadn't gone well given I rejected the daughter of a rival family then brought her home. Today we have another meeting with them. Winter was spending the little time before the meeting letting her panther roam around. She had golden cuffs on all four paws with emeralds decorating them with a matching collar that also was covered in emeralds. Her tail had a snake looped around the base with emerald eyes. The gold and green stood out amongst her fur. She was lovely today. It was finally time to leave. She didn't want to show them her Human side. I couldn't blame her. Plus my mother hated cats, so that was a bonus. When we arrived at my parent's house, we were escorted into to lounge where she laid out on the settee and placed her chest and front legs across my lap. This should be interesting.
