Chains

I tisk and shake my head.  “Not so easy, darling”. I pull out more thread. I wrap it slowly across his torso.

He strains again.  My threads are unmoved.

“You should watch more nature programs,” I chide. My first arms caress his cheeks. My second arms spin the thread while my third arms spin him in place.

“Stronger than steel chains,” I whisper.  “Useless to resist”.

He tries anyway, and my pulse quickens. My fangs extend and I plunge them into his chest.

I drain him before my red hourglass empties.
