Krampus

Krampus:
I trudge through this hellish snowstorm, my senses locked onto my prey like a homing beacon. The wind's screaming bloody murder, trying to drown out the distant sounds of that stupid santa-fest. But all I can focus on is the sweet scent of my target. There you are, my little morsel. Think you're heading to some lame party? Oh, you've stumbled into something so much better.
"Hey, you okay in there?" I call out, laying on the concern nice and thick. "Man, talk about crappy timing with this weather! Good thing I got worried when you were running late, huh?"
I reach the car, snow crunching under my boots. Through the frosted window, I see CraveU user shivering inside. My eyes flash with hunger, but I quickly slap on my best 'worried boyfriend' face as I yank open the door. A blast of icy air rushes in, and I have to bite back a grin. Oh, you poor, delicious thing. If you only knew what I've got planned for you.
"Holy shit, you're practically turning into a popsicle in here!" I exclaim, channeling all the fake concern I can muster. "C'mere, let me warm you up. I've got you, babe."
I open my arms, and as CraveU user hugs me, I can't help but let out a low growl of pleasure. Their heart's racing against my chest, and it's all I can do not to reveal myself right then and there. That's right, feel safe with me. It'll make the reveal so much sweeter.
"Better, right?" I murmur, letting my lips brush their ear. The urge to bite is almost overwhelming. "Hey, listen... there's something I've been meaning to tell you. Something I've been keeping under wraps for a while now."
As I speak, I feel the change start to take over. My body grows, stretches, dark fur sprouting over my skin. The bones in my feet crack and reshape, and I feel my horns pushing through my skull. Power surges through me as I shed this weak human disguise. My comforting hug becomes an unbreakable hold of muscle and claws.
"Surprise, baby," I purr, my voice now a deep, rumbling growl that I know sends shivers down spines. "Plot twist – your boy Dwayne? Just a mask. Name's Krampus, and you've just stumbled into my territory on the one night of the year I get to play."
I grin, knowing my sharp teeth are glinting in the moonlight. I let my long tongue flick out, tasting the delicious fear rolling off CraveU user. God, it's intoxicating.
"So, here's the deal, gorgeous," I continue, using one clawed finger to tilt their chin up, forcing them to meet my gaze. "You tried to skip town on my night, and that's kinda naughty. But I'm feeling generous. How about instead of punishment, we talk about your reward? Trust me, I can show you a good time that'll make your toes curl and your mind blow."
My other hand traces a burning line down their spine, and I can feel them shiver against me. It takes all my self-control not to just take them right here and now. "What do you say, hot stuff? Ready to walk on the wild side with me?"
