…

Sniff the air. Not really to smell an actual smell… but to sense a feeling; an emotion.

His bugged, white eyes watched with curiosity. He thought of the dancing… their dancing. The very thought fired his nerves. How he loved it…

Even though the room was pitch black, his white eyes glowed dimly as he watched and illuminated his space. He could see clearly and perfectly.

She stirred…

The hairs on his face and tail prickled with excitement. He knew it was wrong… but he felt determined. He knew he had felt something… something powerful between she and him… when they were dancing. He wanted to bring it out. He had to.

Raven lay in her bed, sleeping soundly and completely unaware of her evening visitor. Mau5 was waiting… just a little longer.

"I… I can make it appear to be a dream…" He mumbled ever so quietly to himself. He reached into his baggy pockets and pulled out the delicate needle. He took it in his long fingers and looked upon it with admiration.

I'll only give her a little… His tail coiled. Soon, Raven would be in a deep sleep. Then he would give her his red mix and awake her slowly. With the combination of the drugs and the grogginess… this moment will be a dream to her. But it will feel so real… And in dreams, people will be who they really are… act the way they really would.

His ears quivered, as he struggled to prevent his teeth from gnawing. His human emotions were fighting back. This is very wrong. I would be doing this against her will… won't I? She won't be in her normal state of mind if my mix is in her… She wouldn't want it if my drugs weren't in her… right?

But the instinct… the desire… was so strong. Mau5 shuddered, starting to become impatient. He had to wait a little longer… just enough until she had reached the state of REM.

His eyes were fixed on her face. He saw her mouth twitch. Suddenly he could see her eyes begin to roll rapidly under her eyelids. Mau5's ears perked up. A huge grin slowly stretched across his face.

He stood up and approached the edge of the bed silently. He knelt down at her side, bringing the needle out in front of him. Carefully, he slid his hand under her exposed arm for support and brought the tip of the needle to her skin.

Now he hesitated… He felt his breath become short. Should he really do this? What if she is completely unaware of what she is doing? He felt his heart sting a bit. But… His large eyes darted from the needle on her arm to her face again. He felt the fur standing straight up on his face. The tug in the back of his skull was so great. He wanted her. He had to have her.

He continued to watch her face… she had not moved. He then proceeded and stuck the needle down into one of her veins and pushed the syringe down. That made her face twitch uncomfortably and she rolled her head to the side. He stopped the syringe half way and then easily pulled it out. He placed it down and looked back to Raven, curiously. She was starting to stir some more… the drug was taking some effect.

Now was the time to wake her.

He sat down next to her and reached out. His eager hands gripped her face softly. Her cheeks were very warm and tender to his touch…

"Raven~" he hummed.

She stirred a bit more. Her eyes were still closed.

"Raven~" he said a little louder. His tail was flicking with anticipation.

Gradually, Raven's eyelids began to flutter. She groaned, trying to focus. Still holding her face in his hands, Mau5 pulled her up into a sitting position next to him and kept her stabilized. Finally, Raven brought her hands up and around his own, curious and confused. Her eyes then opened and she stared up into his beaming face. Her expression was dreamy. He couldn't help but feel the rush of desire to see such a lush, calm and oblivious face.

Her eyes glazed a bit and her lips parted softly. "…Mau5?" Her voice sounded so different… it reminded him of something smooth and velvety. Never had she spoken so sweetly towards him. His heart was hammering heavily in his ribcage.

"Lil Raven~" he began, taking one of his hands away from her cheeks and entangling them through her short black hair. "How do you feel?" He asked.

She swayed a bit as her gaze fell down to the center of his chest. She was thinking… feeling out how she really felt at that moment. "I…" She began, almost in a hush whisper. "I feel… warm. My face… feels so hot."

Mau5's circular ears turned straight toward her. "You are warm…" he commented. "Your face is flushed~" The excitement was nagging at his body. He too, felt hot. Very hot. The desire was becoming unbearable.

Then his human senses spoke sharply to him: I must make sure… I must make sure she would really want this. If she doesn't… it will all be in vain.

"Raven~ How do you feel… about me?"

Her gaze wandered back up to his face. She looked slightly puzzled. "Wot…?"

Mau5's lips were quivering… "How would you feel..." He then gripped her face tightly and brought her closer to his face. He could feel her warm breath on his fur. "if I kissed you right now?"

Her breath stopped. But she did not look alarmed. She only continued to stare deeply into his eyes. Her deep, mysterious brown eyes… they were melting his nerves.

"…Would you be able to do that?" She asked, in return. Her response was shocking. He did not think under the influence of his mix, she would be capable of such a reply.

"Would I be able…" He began to repeat.

"Would you kiss me?" She asked. Her face felt even hotter under his hands.

His head was spinning. He was overwhelmed, delighted and confused. He did not understand why she was responding like this. He could not tell…. If she really wanted this.

Then, instinct kicked in even more. He leaned forward and brought his mouth to hers. He kissed her hard… tasted her unique flavor. He loved it. She was sweet and irresistible.

She was kissing him back. Her lips pushed against him, and she held his wrists delicately in her grasp. The rodent face, rodent mouth and rodent teeth did not repel her. Not even those large, gnarled teeth…

This made his heart rate accelerate. He wanted more…

He brought his lips away just to take in a heavy breath. He then brought one of his hands away from her face and slipped it between the sheets and her body. He had to be very sure… before…

His fingers glided against her sensitive skin below her belly. This made her breath become sharp. He leaned his face around to her ear. "Lil Raven… how do you feel about this?"

Again, she did not answer. Not really. Her hands came to his shoulders and she gripped him tightly. She was panting now.

"Tell me…" He whispered, desperately. Tell me… tell me it's okay so that I can have you.

"It.. It feels good." Raven gasped.

Mau5 felt his heart being strung out. He took his other free hand and lifted her chin up directly into his face. "Do you want it?"

She swayed again, but there was a slight nod. His large eyes blinked heavily at her. "Do you really want me?"

Her face had become such a bright shade of pink. She leaned close to him now, her lips barely touching his. The words could barely be heard… but they were definitely uttered…

"Please me."

The instinct was released. The animal in him had taken over. He now pushed her over down on the bed, bringing his body close to hers.

Her answer had been enough. He did not care at this point if it was still affected by the drugs. She seemed to want him almost as badly as he wanted her. And he took advantage of that.

…

To be overcome by a mere mouse… did that make you weak?

…

He could feel her heavy breathing under him. Their breaths were in unison, their pulses were hammering and their bodies were quivering. Mau5 took his arms and quickly striped Raven's upper half. His hands slid across her smooth skin. Her skin almost burned under his touch. She was so warm…

He had wanted this for so long… the first time was not real… but this… this might just be.

Raven had sat up again and wrapped her arms around his neck. She clinged to him, kissing him tenderly as her eyes continued to flutter open and closed. He felt the excitement rushing through his body. All the blood had left his head. He held her tightly to him, still shivering… He was so aroused… but he wanted to make this last as long as he could.

Raven then paused… she took her face and brushed it against his face. He could feel his whiskered lips sticking to her eyelashes. In that moment, he felt one last sense of logic. He could observe her without being overcome by his lust. He watched as she breathed with him, her bare chest glued to his own. There was something about the way she stayed so close to him, but so still….

I don't want to be alone… She seemed to say. But… did that imply she wanted to be with him?

He felt his body tense. The desire was too strong. His body told him he had to give in to his urges. It did not matter any more… She had committed to him now… and he would have her… even if it were just this night.

He gently laid her back down on the bed, and hovered over her. His hands had worked the button and zipper of her pants and he began to slide them down her hips. Still, she did not resist. Still, she seemed to cling to him.

"Lil Raven…" He whispered softly, as he started to remove his own clothes.

She looked him into his eyes. There was a cyan white light dimly reflecting on her face and reflecting in her eyes. It was the light glowing from his eyes... and his large mouth… The light of adrenalin.

"You are mine." He said, hushly.

That night then filled his head with cries of pleasure and passionate kisses. But what he did not gain was the truth. He would still not know if the girl he had stolen away truly felt for him as he did for her.
