AUTHORS NOTE I BLAME THE AMAZING ARTIST @kantush ON TUMBLR AND THEIR AMAZING ART THAT MADE ME GO RABIES TO WRITE THIS DOWN SO ENJOY *throws this in here*
You had no damn idea how did you get into this mess but here we are, you were running for hours and hours since you saw your lover change into these werewolf-like creatures called Lycans, you never saw him in such a state before and he has never changed in front of you but this night, oh boy this nigh will burn into your brain like a stamp. Rushing through the bushes you were surrounded by these creatures as they were snapping their maws at your legs guiding you into a trap, you already started to lose your breath your lungs aching for oxygen burning literally as your trembling legs were carrying across the woods. But what you heard next was chill rising and terrifying roar you ever had heard in your life, it was so powerful that it made the Lycans lose their speed and some of them stopped to listen closely as you, on the other hand, was happy to keep running as you tried to reach the graveyards alas that was not meant to be! A powerful roar and thumps were followed after you and you made the fatal mistake of turning around and meeting with the horde that was now scattering away from something or rather someone bigger and stronger than them.
You yelped as you stood and tried to turn and run again but as the figure came closer some of the Lycans were snarling, roaring as he walked with his huge hammer swinging it around as a warning to the ones that tried to touch what’s his, he eyed you and snarled the lycans now making a circle to see where the show would end but you refused to believe that Karl would attack you but everything changed at the moment when he raised his hammer over his head and slammed it down making you scream out in fear and close your eyes expecting to feel pain but it never came opening your eyes you saw the hammer smashed to the side as Karl aimed for you his eyes glowing, his body ha grown in size, his shirt was ripped open as he made you fall back into the snowy surface slamming his huge hands covered in black fur and accompanied by sharp claws making you shriek and scream.
As he snarled and roared back at you you were ready to die, this is how it ends the only thought was running through your poor trembling body as the Lycans were enjoying the show that Heisenberg pulled out for them, you were squirming and trying to get away but he was absolutely aiming at something as you were looking at him in fear, he started moving lower and lower and lower as you realized where he was aiming at and from fear, you decided to yelp out “Woah, that face is getting really close! Back up. Hey buddy are you even listening?” he wasn’t, he had one thing in his mind as he looked from his position near your sex his face feral, his eyes hungry so his mouth filled with sharp canines as his tongue swiped across his sharp teeth, a slight swish of his hand and he ripped your pants and underwear off making you let out a scream as his huge hands wrapped themselves around your tighs drawing a bit of blood because of the claws, his hands were like shackles holding you tight and not giving too much room for movement.
His mouth felt hot and wet as he latched himself onto your sex sucking and licking making you lose your mind as now yelps and lewd moans were replacing the ones of fear, the Lycans were roaring and howling as if cheering for the show to go on, which still did, you felt something wet and hot to prod at your entrance as he slipped his tongue in making your arch and your hands found his tighs gripping, muscular and powerful they twitched beneath your hands, he started plunging your poor hole faster and faster as you met his thrusting making him growl into your mound as you came over his face as he continued to lap at your juices sucking you clean licking his mouth, sliding your body across the ground he loomed over your small form as he lined up and plunged himself into your core knocking the air out of your lungs. He started a brutal pace his face was a sight to behold, gritted teeth, eyes glowing face contorted into a snarl, and his growls and huffs as he pistoned himself into your poor little core making you emit such strange noises you never did before, the Lycans were losing their shit as they watching your poor cunt get wrecked by your lover.
Each trust was like a damn hammer hitting your womb, as you tried to let the worlds out stuttering “S-Stop m-m-moving, y-you…h-heavy motherfuck-ker, you…you’re p-pulling my insides out!!!” you couldn’t stop him as he was chasing his own orgasm, the beast in him overtaking his mind and body only wanting to breed you to fill you up and show to the Lycans who you belonged to. As you were taking his thick cock inside your tightness you felt the second orgasm hotting you as he was huffing over you hiding your body with his huge frame, you tightened around him earning a roar as you came for the second time, he kept on plunging into your poor hole even faster than before, the Lycans were snarling drooling some were humping something or someone it was crazy orgy chaos as you felt Karl, snarl and growl his thrusts became sloppier and sloppier he was jutting into your poor abused cunt as with a final thrust and loud roar followed by the other Lycans.
He came inside your little hole filling you to the brim as his knot locked inside of your tight hole making you take every single drop he gave he bit your neck making everyone know who you were bred by and whom you belonged to, as the third orgasm hit you hard by receiving his seed you hang like a rag doll, as he groaned licking your wound on the neck lapping at the mix of the sweat and blood. He picked up you still knotted on his cock and called for the hammer walking away with you in hand and holding you dearly. The walk to the factory was quest as you blacked out from all of this activity but you didn’t mind at all repeating all of this one day, for sure Karl didn’t mind either!

You were tossing and turning after you read a fanfiction about your boss Karl Heisenberg, you were working at his factory and successfully you had an internet connection, long story short you could use it thanks to your boss, as you laid to sleep, you thought you could have a good night’s sleep, right? Wrong! You were laying there covered in a thin layer of sweat covering your hot body the covers were thrown the moment you had enough. Behind the door, a tapping noise was heard then a strong hand hugged in leather glove wrapped itself around the door closing it, slowly and revealing wickedly smiling Karl Heisenberg aka your boss himself you, on the other hand, were moaning and mewling mess trying somehow to reach an orgasm.
“What a naughty, naughty little thing you are, thinking of your boss in that way!” he said his smile wide, he slid the laptop over the table, he was looking at you with his yellow eyes as you jerked up seeing a silhouette of a man looming in the darkness as he took a step closer, you know who it was-Karl frikin Heisenberg. You let out a yelp as it hit you, he saw what you were reading as his big hand wrapped around the blanket that was still on your sweat covered body as he spoke“Look at yourself, all wet and ready for me, oh I know your secret, you DIRTY little secret, Buttercup!”he spat at you his resistance was so low, that there were ripping sounds of the poor blanket as he yanked it off your trembling body, you were caught like deer in headlights not quite processing what the hell is going on.
“Oh, I can feel you, yes…I can smell you, you little dirty thing.” he smiled as he crawled closer to your trembling form, you saw that he didn’t have his coat on, his glasses, and his hat, you were panting mess looking at him as his hand was slipping on your bare tight making you gasp, he then tilted his head as if considering what to do with you, as he pushed his hand into the pocket of his pants and took out something while you were curious and looked at him as he caught your hands in iron-like grip and smiled in the creepiest and twisted way, he said while tightening the handcuffs over your hands and securing them with his power on the bedpost “I will have the joy to play with a new toy, damn it Buttercup if I knew sooner!” he laughed as he aimed for your neck, licking it biting it and making you writhe and moan underneath him.
“Oh look, someone likes is there, so eager Babydoll?!” he took your chin into his huge hands and kissed you roughly, deeply and in a dominant way making you whimper at the loss of the oxygen, he shoved his tongue into your mouth and made you groan in the process, the kiss was so wet, sloppy and messy when you parted a bridge of salvia connected your mouths, as he held you there looking at you with his yellowish burning eyes. “Oh I’m gonna have a taste but darn it, I need to make sure nobody hears us” he tsk-ed and took some kind of cloth, shoving it into your mouth gaging you as he launched again at your neck, biting it with his sharp canine teeth and then slid lower to your breasts as he massaged them and then tore the only cloth that separated you from him. He started by massaging your breasts, play with them as he spat on them, sucking them playing with the nipples that got hard from all of this teasing, you were so wet down there, he was switching between them gently stroking the nipple and circle the areola with a finger then with his tongue, he circled the nipple again with his rough thumb and forefinger making you rub your legs for some kind of friction.
As if he could sense it he smiled wide and easily slid to your belly button licking around it earning a yelp from you and making you moan, he slid lower and lower till he was right in front of your sex, he took a deep inhale and, purred? You raised your head at this, looking at him as he never broke the eye contact with you he was smirking and you swore you saw a flash of more sharp teeth, he launched at you and slid his long tongue over your heat, and that special little bundle of nerves making you mewl and arch your back, gods you were twisted so twisted to let your boss have you, was he mad at you? He, on the other hand, plunged his tongue into you as you screamed into the gag he was so thick and long, how possible a person can have such strange tongue, as you tried to rationalize he started to move in-out faster and faster as he let his fingers flick over the little button you were lost chasing your orgasm, you didn’t care how long his tongue was, was this real or not you needed to orgasm so badly, he smiled wickedly against you as he got even faster, you were beyond your mind to give a damn.
Then one last trust and you toppled over the edge seeing white spots over your vision moaning into the gag, drool was rolling down your chin and on the bed but you didn’t care. “Oh look at this such a sweet little mess you made! Tasty, tasty, naughty little Buttercup!” he let his belts fall one by one then he looked at you his smile wide and his lower lip was between his teeth as he let his zipper slide down he climbed over you and only then you realized something was quite off him like it was Karl but he was bigger and hairier and you felt that his fingers were somehow sharper as if something was very wrong with him. When his eyes flashed yellow you knew you screwed up, it was his lycan form you knew it as once you saw him transform before,“ Ohhh is little lamb scared…no? Because I feel something else pulsing through your little twisted mind…LUST!” he attacked your breasts and bit them now you felt the sharp teeth as he licked your breast and groaned deeply.
“Oh both of us are going to have so much fun little lamb!” his Lycan was there and he was taunting you but you couldn’t escape Karl’s grip as he unbuttoned his shirt and removed his pants, he was stark naked underneath as he spread you legs, you saw that his skin was covered in fur and on places it has scars, his shaft was different from a human one, he gave himself a few pumps squeezing his shaft as he leaned in positioning himself at your entrance “Ready or not ,here I come!” he slammed in both of you moaning in unison, as he pumped into you mercilessly, he was groaning and playing with your breasts as his thickness was pumping in and out of you , then he leaned in and bit your neck after this you felt woozy as you felt he started to shape-shift and grow in size as his hands became black fur covered with sharp claws that tore into your poor mattress, his face changed into the familiar Lycan appearence and pair of ears perked up, his whole body became huge as his appendage inside you grew in size as well macking a bulge in your stomach as you moaned into the gag “Ohh, look at the little thing with such a nasty desires, your happiness is that I’m here and can give you that sweet dirty fantasy of yours!” he snarled into your mind as you felt some kind of diziness like you were drugged, your core tightened around him and you squirted on his thickness making him shudder and growl.
He kept pumping into you like a maniac while you were losing your head from the pleasure, you couldn’t remember what orgasm it was in a row and you didn’t care you needed him, and he was there. Heisenberg, on the other hand, needed a female to mate he didn’t know that he’ll feel lust mingled with hunger so after a good hunt he was drawn like a magnet to your dirty nasty little mind and he read your little dirty story featuring him as a werewolf using his ability to change on will he stalked towards your room, smiling to himself that he got the jackpot this night. He was pumping his fourth load of semen into you and you were taking him so well, oh he would steal you and bring you to his nest where you will give birth to his brood, yes you will be his mate and you gonna take everything from him. He smiled wickedly as he nuzzled into you feeling his last load “Oh I hope you have a place for dessert little sweet Buttercup, I’ll pump you full of my brood and when you give them birth, I’ll do it again and again…filling you to the brim with my offspring! What you say, sweet little mate, hmm?” he nuzzled as you moaned into the gag lewdly you teary doe eyes holding so many emotions making him snarl in joy, “Let’s consider this a yes!” he got faster till his body started to twist, shift, bone cracks were heard as he roared and let his brood seep deeply and safe into your growing belly. He looked down at you as you were whimpering, trembling, and crying mess underneath him as he licked your tears away cooing “Oh you did so well, so well for me! Yes, I’m so frikin proud Buttercup, you took me like a champ!” he purred and nuzzled your stomach, licking it in form of appreciation and devotion, he removed the gag making you mewl and yelp, kissing you deeply and with adoration as he picked you up and carried you to his nest, you was his and he would never let go of his mate as you both enter his room, he lays you softly on the nest and he lays behind you cradling you as the most precious treasure which you were. He had an eye on you for so long but tonight the Lycan in him called, the Alpha needed his Omega and you were his for life as he was yours.

Fluff
Warnings - None?
Pairing - Karl Heisenberg X Male!Cat!Reader
-><-
-><-
What your purpose was is still a mystery to him even to this day. Upon your first meeting in Castle Dimitrescu, he nearly took you to try and make an army member out of a cat until you shifted in fear and nearly beat him with a book. Lady D had to separate the two of you for a bit after that while she went on lecturing Heisenberg about staying away from you.
Since said first meeting though, you often found yourself hanging around him whenever he was around. That soon turned into you adventuring out to actively seek him out. “You’re just obsessed with me huh?” He teased the first time you entered the factory territory.
Now it was only natural that you commute back and forth between the castle and the factory. The countess and her daughters were so kind to you that you couldn’t bear just straight up leaving them for the dirty engineer locked away in the factory. So back and forth you went and while he never admitted it out loud, Heisenberg was jealous every time you’d leave him to go and see the girls. While he claims that you’re the clingy one, every time you’re with him he has you close, almost on a leash without actually being on one (though he’s made jokes about making you one).
“You’re on my work.” Cracking an eye open, you look up to meet Heisenberg with his arms crossed. You can’t help but stretch out, covering more of the papers on the desk with your feline body. He steps closer to the table and nudges you with his hand, picking up papers. “You’re an annoying little shit.” He grumbles despite you bumping your head against his arm gently. As much as he loved your small form, when you lay down it was like you just generated mass to spread out for the sole purpose of annoying him.
He pulls away with the paper and you change, sitting on the desk with your legs crossed. “You’re one to talk.” You tease him, smiling when he shoots you a look from under his glasses. “New project?” You ponder as he sets the stack down on a different table.
He hums, “something like that.” You tilt your head, pushing off the desk and scurrying after him when he goes to leave the room. “Never a moment alone with you is there?”
“Oh like you don’t like it.” You muse, getting a smile from him. “Besides, you’d be so lost without me.”
“Oh, would I?” He questions, gesturing to the large open space overviewing the factory. “I ran this long before you came around kitty cat.” He pokes you, starting his long strides again. You stare off for another moment before rushing to catch up with him. The heat radiating from the factory, in general, was much nicer than being outside or in certain places of the castle.
“You know I can’t tell if that was supposed to be mean or not.” You go on, getting a laugh from him this time. “If you don’t want me around just tell me and I’ll scat.”
“You’re not going anywhere.” He states, turning to fully face you. “You’re stuck with me kitty cat.” He puts an emphasis on the nickname with a smirk. “So, let’s get to work yeah?”
Summary: You were just a simple woman, living a boring, simple life. But then, then you met Karl, and your life changed forever.
“What?” he asked a bit annoyed. You kept on smiling and giggling at him and he didn’t know why you were doing it.
He was laying on his side in bed, watching you as you were watching him. The bed was huge, making the room look a lot smaller than it really was.
Karl got the bed when you moved into his room, he knew you needed space and he wanted you to be comfortable.
He was too far away in your opinion but this gave you the chance to look at him better. See him in all of his glory.
“Nothing.” you said with a smile, and you could tell he wasn’t buying it. He always wanted to know what you are thinking. He wanted to make sure you were safe and well. You let out a sigh. “I just, I love you Karl. That’s all I have been thinking about.”
He smirked. “Look at you, getting all romantic and shit after sex.”
You rolled your eyes, you were about to turn away from him and just sleep. He had to ruin the moment.
“Come on, Sweetheart,” he said with a small laugh. You knew he was just teasing you He pulled you close to his chest, with him propped up on his elbow, he looked down at you, running his other hand up and down your thigh. “Tell me,” he said with a hushed voice. He was the most vulnerable during moments like this.
“I just love you. I love the way you look at me, I love the way you hold me and kiss me. I never felt so safe in my entire life as I feel with you. You make me feel like a Queen.” your finger running up and down his chest as you spoke. Looking right into his eyes, so he knows you ment every word.
“That’s because you are, My Queen.”
The smirk on his face changed to a smile. Seeing you happy did that to him.
“Alright, you go ahead now.”
He laughed. “Alright, I love your silky skin. I love your laugh and seeing you smile. Knowing that you are happy even in this dump. I never expected anyone to ever love me the way you love me.”
You lifted your hand to run it down his face, smiling you leaned up closer to him and he leaned down to let your lips meet halfway.
“And I also love how you whimper under me.” this made you laugh, of course he had to make a sexual remark, it wouldn’t be him if he didn’t. “Or on top of me, really any w-“ you didn’t even let him finish, you kissed him as if your life depended on it.
Although for others this place was hell on Earth, to you it was heaven, as long as you had Karl.

————————
On the outside, people who saw you and Karl together, would probably make the assumption that he wears the pants. I mean come on, big, tall, grumpy, dashingly handsome lord who lives in a terrifying factor surrounded by lycans of which he basically controls? If that doesn’t just reekof dominance I don’t know what does.
Except… It wasn’t like that at all. Karl was the boss of a lot of things. He basically held this factory up on his shoulders. He didn’t take shit from anyone, and he didn’t let anyone control him. Except you.
Who would’ve thought? The terrifying Lord Heisenberg, on his knees, naked, leashed to the bed, begging you to just pleaselet him touch you. Please touch him. Please make him feel good. You smirk at him. Slowly getting undressed before his very hungry eyes.
“You’ve been a bad dog, puppy.” You said walking around him, his head twisting to follow your every move. “It seems like you forgot your place.” You grabbed his chin roughly making him look at you in the eyes. “Do I look like a lycan to you?”
“No mommy” he answered, a shake in his voice as his mouth watered at just the smallest bit of contact.
“Do I look like one of your soldiers?”
“N-No mommy.”
“Them what makes you think you can speak to me how you did today, huh?” You ask him, he gulps and doesn’t answer quick enough for your liking. You yank on the pretty leather collar wrapped around his neck. “Speak dog.”
“M’sorry Mommy! M’so sorry! I didn’t mean to, please I’ll be a good boy for you!” He whimpers out. You smirk at him. It was always such a power trip to see him like this… He could easily break you like a tooth pick without even trying. Yet he looks at you like you are a goddess. You relishin the power you have over him.
You let go of his collar and untie his leash from the bed dropping it on the floor carelessly, you walk over to the small dresser in the corner of the room. Without looking back you make a stern demand, “When I turn around you better be on all fours on that bed.” You smirk as you here quick shuffling, but continue to search for what you are looking for. You open the top drawer of the dresser, grabbing out a black box, opening it to reveal a large dildo attached to a harness. You smile remembering how embarrassed Karl was when you had got it from the duke, who was now one of the very few people who knew the secret of their relationship.
With expert skill you put on the harness, clipping it around your waist. You’re still wearing your set of lacy underwear, this is a punishment after all, and you know how much Karl likes you to be completely naked. There have been times where he has been more dominant, and you swear up and down that not one part of your skin didn’t have a hickey after he was done. He love’s how smooth and soft your skin is, he’s always touching you in someway, even outside of the bedroom he can never keep his hands off of you.
You turn around, and you’re greeted with the view of Karl on his hands and knees, patiently waiting on the bed for you. “Aw good job puppy… Good to know you can actually listen for once.” You walk to his side and grab his chin turning his face to you. “My pretty puppy… are you ready?” He nods his head eagerly at you, and you narrow your eyes your grip tightening on his chin. “Speak.”
“Y-Yes mommy please please fuck me. Please please please. I’ll be s’good for you.” He whimpers staring at you, his face red from embarrassment and arousal. You smirk and get behind him. You rub your hand down his scarred back, tracing some as you slowly drag it down to his awaiting entrance. You lean over the edge, grabbing a bottle of lube from under the bed, and squeezing some out on your hand.
You slowly rub some around his hole, and he shivers at the coldness, you glide your finger in easily and he lets out a moan. You stretch him open, adding in a second finger eventually, all where in front of you your partner is a mess. He’s letting out moans and whimpers and every small movement your hand makes. Soon, you decide he’s ready, and remove your hand. He lets out a groan at the loss and you smack his ass, making jump slightly and let out a tiny moan. You grab the lube once more squeeze a generous amount on your cock.
You guide your cock into him, it sliding in perfectly. Underneath you Karl is biting his lip and letting out muffled moans. Once you bottom out you grab his leash and tug on it harshly. “Don’t you dare hide all of those pretty noises you make puppy.” At your words he lets out a moan. “Thats my good boy”
After a minute you start slowly rocking your hips back and forth into him, testing the waters to make sure he was ready. Apparently you weren’t moving fast enough for him, and Karl does what got him into this in the first place. He tests you.
“Goddamnit can’t you just fuck me already.” As quickly as the words came out, was as quick as he regretted them. You stayed silent. Instead you gripped his hips and started relentlessly pounding into him. The sound of skin slapping and Karls deep moans could probably be heard on the other side of the factory.
Continuing the rough movements of your hips, You tug his leash again, making him choke slightly, but moan even louder at the pressure.
“Who the fuck owns you?” You ask him, your other hand reaching down to rub his cock. He grips the sheets, almost tearing them.
“You do mommy!” He says in-between the moans which has now turned into more scream like sounds of pleasure. You’ve never heard him be this loud before. If the whole factory didn’t hear him before, they definitely do now. If you listened close enough you could hear the barks of the lycans, probably confused as to the screaming of Karl. That gave you an idea.
“Oh do you hear them pup?” You said while slowing down considerably but still thrusting hard. “You hear how loud they are? Oh just imagine if I let them up here and let them deal with you. Maybe then you’d actually learn your fucking lesson.” On the last part of your sentence you thrusted particularly each word. You must’ve hit his prostate because he let out a beautiful scream.
You leaned up closer to his ear whispering to him, “I’d bet you’d like that though, huh? You get off by being completely ruined by things that you could easily destroy huh? Yeah you’re just a big fucking whore who everyone thinks is so scary but here you are, being fucked by that innocent little village girl who came to work with you. Imagine if the other lords could see you right now. Desperate for me to fuck you dumb. Pathetic.” Every word you spoke made him completely filled to the brim in arousal, he was basically sobbing with pleasure at this point. Hiccuping out moans and whines.
You could tell he was getting close by the way his legs were shaking. “Aw is my little puppy gonna cum?”
“Please m..mommy,” He took a gasp once you found his prostate once more and kept hitting it, over and over again. “Please Please Please let me cum!” He screamed out, tears and drool running down his face.
You laughed, rubbing his cock even faster and thrusting with more speed and strength then before. “You can cum puppy.” As soon as the words left your mouth he let out a loud moan and hot cum spurted out onto your hand, his stomach and the bed. You fucked him through his orgasm before pulling out slowly. As soon as you pulled out he basically collapsed on the bed. You giggled before tugging off the harness and walking to the bathroom. and bringing back a wet rag.
When you came back he had moves to where he was flipped over and laying against the pillows now. You smiled and when and cleaned off his stomach. “Are you okay baby.” You asked, moving his hair out of his face.
“Yeah darling.. I’m fantastic” He said looking at you with a tired smile. You smiled back and leaned down to kiss him softly. You quickly went to the other side of the bed and climbed on. wrapping you both up in a blanket. “I love you, puppy” you said, burying your head in his neck. When you didn’t get a reply you looked up and saw he had already passed out. You giggled quietly and cuddled up to him and soon joined him in sleep.
