foxyoreos (they/them, commissions open)One of my favorite dynamics. Pred who keeps prey safe, but still extremely obviously enjoys *playing* with them - sometimes not even as a mutual thing. They want to scare you, they want to objectify you, they want to do *everything* except kill you. >:3
Gah, so many different ways to approach that too. Pred who would kill you and is just teasing and drawing it out. Pred who you're not sure which it is...
Pred who's committed to keeping you safe, but is never gonna let you know that~
Pred who's safe and considerate that you trust, but any time you cuddle, they drool on you. Knowing you can trust them *AND* that they are absolutely ravenous for you.
Pred who gets your permission to tease, but every time you give it, the teasing is WAY more intense than you're prepared for.
Getting hunted by a pred multiple times, and being *pretty* sure at this point that it's safe, but also they have NEVER broken character and they absolutely enjoy you being legitimately scared, and you're worried that if you're ever not scared enough, maybe they'll go further.. >:3
God I could just go on and on... there are so many different flavors of that from unbelievably wholesome to horribly fucked up, and they're all SO GOOD.
