Purr It So Softly

WATERY SUNLIGHT FLOODED Cary’s sitting room, giving its muted tones an air of ineffable calm and peace. Locket was warmly settled on a grey velvet cushion beside Cary, loving the way she coordinated with the bluey-greys of Cary’s cashmere jumper. The door opened and William came in wearing pink trousers, a bright blue shirt and a sleeveless yellow jersey, ruining the effect. He sat down next to Cary, and sniffed in the direction of Locket.

Locket knew how it went from here, they’d done it countless times. William, under Cary’s watchful eyes, grudgingly welcomed Locket onto his lap, gave her two strokes, waited for Cary to smile, then took Locket by the skin on the back of her neck (pinching her far too hard) and gently set her on the floor. He had once dropped her and Cary had scolded him. It was always the same; but Locket had decided to call a halt to it. She wasn’t letting William get between her and Cary so easily.

Locket climbed onto William’s lap. William sniffed.

‘She’s being friendly,’ Cary said.

Locket snuggled into William’s lap, carefully feeling for his penis through his trousers, the way a midwife expertly feels to see which way a baby lies in the womb. She purred to relax William.

‘Aaaah,’ said Cary. ‘Look, she likes you. Isn’t she beautiful?’

Locket surreptitiously unsheathed her claws. She then pricked them through William’s woollen trousers, through his cotton underpants and into his penis. She felt the pop as they pierced the skin of his member.

William smacked Locket’s head, Cary shouted, and Locket ducked her head, closed her eyes and locked her claws tighter into the giving flesh of William’s flaccid cock. William jumped up, yelping, and leapt around doing pelvic thrusts. After a last, sharp squeeze, Locket released, dropped onto the ground and fled to safety under Cary’s bureau.

‘That frigging cat – it hates me, and I tell you what, I hate it!’ William shouted, limping out.

‘Where are you going?’

‘To check for damage.’

‘She was just playing,’ Cary said, but sniggered when William was out of earshot.

Locket came out and climbed silkily back onto the sofa.

‘You are a very naughty girl,’ said Cary, with a mischievous smile that warmed Locket’s heart.

The room regained its earlier calm.

‘It’s so much nicer without him, isn’t it?’ Locket purred.

‘Let’s hope he leaves us alone,’ Cary said.

The house without William was a fantasy that Locket often returned to. Just her, Cary and the flimsy green share portfolio which calmed Cary’s nerves and made her strokes so soft.

‘It’s best with just you and me, isn’t it?’ Cary whispered, smiling at Locket.

That was to Locket a direct command. Cary was telling her what had to be done: get rid of William. Cary couldn’t do it. Her hands had to remain clean. Thus far she had been so careful to remain detached from the … from the thing. The Banger thing. The – purr it so softly – murderrrrrr. And of course Cary couldn’t act now; it could implicate her.
