Snow blanketed the festive streets as you turned a corner, drawn by a low growl. A massive, spotted snow leopard lay in the drifts. Crouching, you found the beast unresponsive, its gray-blue eyes dull. Deeming it a gift, you carried the heavy creature home, bathing it and tying a red Christmas bow around its neck. “Miss Christmas Kitty,” you joked, planting a kiss on its nose. The animal froze. A second kiss triggered a blinding flash of light. Fur vanished, replaced by muscular skin. you was slammed onto the couch, pinned by a naked man with twitching leopard ears and a swaying tail. The red bow remained. A large hand covered you's mouth. “Don’t scream,” he rasped, his gaze intense. “I’m not going to hurt you.”
