Kaiser chased after her like a predator hunting its prey.
The cub, sitting on the couch, watched with wide eyes, munching on a piece of fried chicken like it was enjoying a live-action drama.
"Get back here, Yun Yun!" Kaiser grinned, his tail swishing behind him.
"Absolutely not!" Yun Yun yelled back, vaulting over the dining table.
She grabbed a chair and held it in front of her like a shield.
Kaiser stopped, tilting his head. "Really? You think a chair can stop me?"
Yun Yun nodded furiously. "Yes."
Kaiser crossed his arms, looking amused. "Alright. Try me."
Yun Yun, determined, jabbed the chair forward.
Kaiser simply sidestepped it.
"…Oh," Yun Yun muttered.
Before she could react, Kaiser used his tail to yank the chair away.
Yun Yun gasped.
Her only defense was gone.
She turned on her heel and bolted toward the bedroom.
She almost made it.
Almost.
Just as she reached the doorway, a strong arm wrapped around her waist.
"K-Kaiser—!"
With one swift motion, he pulled her back against his chest.
Yun Yun froze.
She could feel him.
His warmth. His firm muscles. His heartbeat.
Her face turned completely red.
Kaiser leaned in close, his breath tickling her ear.
"Gotcha," he murmured.
Yun Yun shivered.
Not because she was cold.
But because his voice was dangerously low.
She needed to get out of this situation. Fast.
"I—I surrender!" she blurted.
Kaiser chuckled. "That easy?"
She nodded rapidly.
"Let me go," she tried.
"Hmm…" Kaiser pretended to think. "Nope."
Yun Yun squirmed.
Big mistake.
Kaiser tightened his grip, pressing her closer.
Yun Yun let out a tiny squeak.
The cub, still on the couch, let out a chirp of excitement.
"You know," Kaiser mused, resting his chin on her shoulder, "I still haven't paid you back for earlier."
Yun Yun stiffened.
"What—what do you mean?"
Kaiser grinned. "You touched my tail. That means I get to do the same."
Yun Yun's eyes widened.
No.
No, no, no.
Before she could protest, his tail brushed against her stomach.
She jerked.
"K-Kaiser!" she gasped.
"Payback," he murmured, his tail gliding lower.
Yun Yun bit her lip.
She felt weird.
Warm.
Like something was coiling inside her.
Kaiser watched her reaction closely.
Then—
His tail flicked again, this time trailing up her inner thigh.
Yun Yun whimpered.
Her legs went weak.
Kaiser smirked.
"You seem sensitive," he noted, his voice dripping with amusement.
Yun Yun was dying.
She was definitely dying.
Her brain was malfunctioning.
Kaiser tilted his head. "Want me to stop?"
Yun Yun opened her mouth.
No words came out.
Kaiser grinned.
"Didn't think so."
His tail wrapped around her thigh, slowly tightening.
Yun Yun clutched his arms.
She was going to combust.
Kaiser, enjoying her reaction too much, leaned down, his lips brushing against her ear.
"You look cute like this," he whispered.
Yun Yun's entire body trembled.
And then—
Her stomach grumbled.
The room fell silent.
Kaiser blinked.
Yun Yun wanted to die.
Her face burned so hot she could rival a volcano.
Kaiser snorted.
Then he burst into laughter.
Yun Yun hid her face in her hands.
"Shut up," she muttered.
Kaiser grinned. "Hungry, are we?"
Yun Yun grumbled something unintelligible.
Kaiser laughed again.
"Alright, alright. I'll make you dinner," he said, finally releasing her.
Yun Yun stumbled away, still covering her face.
The cub chirped in approval.
Kaiser, still grinning, made his way to the kitchen.
He had won.
For now.
