I NEED IT NOW
If I don't see someone write the reader being fucked in somebody's overblot form in the next 10 minutes I'm gonna lose it
Me wandering a forest during a full moon: Oh, no I’m so lost! I’m helpless! Defenseless! Practically naked! I hope some beast doesn’t come along and take advantage of my predicament!
Werewolves hiding in the forest: Oh, no, it’s them again…
"Stop following me."
"Oh, do you want me to walk beside you? Maybe hold hands with you?"
Rest in fucking pieces
Imagine teasing a horny demon in heat inside of a salt circle, stripping for him before masturbating oh so close to him. You’re literally just out of his reach while he’s panting and shaking and growling the ways he’s gonna break you and breed you and make you beg for mercy
And then you accidentally break the salt circle
