We left the Limbus through the same gate we entered. The path we are taking, back to Paradis is identical to when we were on our way to Limbus. The only difference is Damon insisted that I strictly stay incognito while he's walking beside me releasing a very intimading power.
He's making his presence known to the point of letting his wings show. No one dares to cross our paths nor even look our way due to the fear they might provoke the wrath of the Leader of the Angels of Death. His overwhelming presence not only affected the souls around us but I also wasn't spared from the emotion of fear.
I know how sweet and caring Damon is through our journey together but at this moment I can feel myself tremble. The memory from the Limbus keeps coming back. He showed no hesitation on throwing the soul that landed near us, explains the fear every soul should feel.
This must be why the Journey is a tradition in the Purgatory. Everything changes. Not only as I see Damon but everyone around me changed their demeanor. The welcoming greeting changed to trembling avoidance but I can still feel the gazes toward me.
I remembered the Supreme Ruler's word "They are hungry for lost souls.". Should I consider the collar? I know Damon and the others from the Gatori Cafe will not treat me differently eventhough I wear one. But.... how am I sure if that's true?
I held my neck and turned my gaze up to Damon. Our eyes met but I can feel a chill to my spine and averted my gaze. He sighed.
"Eugene, nothing changed. You don't have to be afraid of me. " Being not afraid of him at this point would be impossible. During the first part of our Journey, I'm only wary about the other souls and relied on Damon's protection. But what will happen if the time comes that I need protection from him.
"Eugene, I'll do everything to protect you." He said as he patted my head.
It is true that I actually have no reason to believe that Damon will harm me. Despite the terror I feel due to his position, he has only protected me since day one. I am pretty sure he is the most worthy of my trust.
...
We've finally reached the Kingdom of Lust. We just need to pass this level and we'll be back to Gatori Cafe. This level has the most different souls. The intimidating power from Damon does not only instill fear, but also awakens curiosity and temptations for them. There are still who tired to capture his attention.
"If you feel like you are about to pass out again, let me know." Right. Last time we were here, the thick air got to me. But, surprisingly it doesn't heavily affect me. Maybe my body already adjusted to the purgatory or Damon's aura is much more heavier?
"hssss... hsssss....."
I heard a snake like noise close to us. Next thing I know, I can feel something sensually crawling from my feet up to my upper thigh and to my torso. My knees felt weak and I can't move due to two reasons. I was about to ask Damon for help but he's already shooting deadly glare at my direction.
My knees finally gave in due to fear and I sat at the ground. Damon held the snake by its head and took it from me.
"You're fearless for touching my companion."
"hsss..... I'd rather crawl up to him..... hssss.... Than to directly touch you.....hsss...."
"You must have a good reason to tell me or you're just ready to get beheaded."
"hssss... I do.... the King'ssss..... carriage will be here any sssssecond..... He isss invinting you for dinner... he sssssaid itsss not optional asssss you didn't greet him lasssst time you were here....."
Damon released the snake and helped me stand up.
"I'm sorry Eugene but we'll have to pay the palace a visit."
Just like the snake said, a carriage came. The door automatically opened for us. Damon signaled I go first. The inside is dimmed and the walls have carvings of two entwined bodies in different possible positions. There are two velvet sits placed at both sides.
As I sat down, Damon followed closely and tried to position himself as comfortable as possible. I didn't realize how tight the space is for two people. We are seated facing each other. Our knees found the most comfortable positions, slipping between one another. His left knee is between my thighs as my right knee between his.
The carriage started moving. There are no windows and I think it will be uncomfortable if we looked at each other in this tight space. So my eyes wandered around the walls of the carriage. I realized the figures are like instruction manual teaching us different postions on how to sit inside the carriage. But almost positions are meant for couples who has no worries of being closely intimate to one another.
I became aware that this carriage is also part of the Kingdom's temptation. If another soul beside me is with Damon right now. No hesitation, they might have tried the numerous positions suggested. It's the right space to seduce someone.
The ride started to feel endless. The longer it drags on, the more aware I become of everything around me, the noise from the wheels and every shift of the carriage. The road is becoming rough and our body sways with every movement. Our thighs barely brushes each others'. He might not notice or he just decided it is no big deal. Since, his legs are longer than mine, his knee is forced to lightly press and brush between the center of my thighs.
I tried to shift my body so that it doesn't press against his knee. But it just made my lower part hotter. I am starting to feel uneasy. I wish I could cover the center of my thighs this instant. And just right on cue, the carriage suddenly halted and so i stumbled forward onto Damon. Our shoulders are touching each others. He held my waist and whispered.
"Would you like to change positions?" His voice sends tingle racing down to my spine to the most important part. I am not sure if he is just joking or implying something. But, eitherway, I am not against it.
The door suddenly opened disrupting something that could have developed between us.
"Oh my! Did I interupt?" That familiar voice. It's Prince Asmo. You can see him grinning from ear to ear. He extended his arm while looking at me. "Shall we? Father is waiting for us at the dining hall."
Damon reached for his hand and slightly pushed it away.
"You don't need to be overprotective I am just here to welcome the guests."
We followed after Prince Asmo. Unlike the palace at Limbus, the palace here is crawling with slaves. Everyone's gazes turned to us.They are trying to get Damon's attention. Dancing and moving in a sultry and seductive way.
"If anyone catches your attention, just tell me. I'll reserve a room for you. " Prince Asmo stated. He particularly looked at me as if he had already chosen. He gave me a meaningful wink so I instintively looked away and fixed my gaze on the floor until we've reached the door to the dining area.
The door opened and similarly to Limbus it has a long table and at the end of it is sitting, i assume, is the King.
"Damon, and your companion sit. I've told them to prepare different variaties of food. Even my son, Asmo suggested food your companion would like."
Damon took the sit on the left of the King and I sat beside him. Prince Asmo sat across me.
The King suddenly inhaled loudly.
"Haaa.... Damon, it's been a while but you still smell good. The same as always." He took a deep breathe again. "But your companion smells even better. No wonder Asmo keeps on insisting I should invite you over."
They are talking about our scent again. I secretly took a sniff but all I can smell are the food in front of us. Do the souls of the purgatory have a particular ability to distinguish the souls with experience? Or is it just the souls of the Kingdom of Lust?Then can Damon also smell the scent they'r saying?
The King noticed the confusion and curiosity on my face.
"Only the royal bloods of the Kingdom of Lust can smell the desires, the pheromones and the innocence of a virgin soul. To us, the untouched is the most fragrant." He inhaled again. " Between you and Damon, yours is not pure. It looks like you've been tasted but not yet devoured."
I held my head down as I know what he's talking about. It's not a memory I want to remember.
" But worry not. You still smell very desirable. With just you two sitting here, it awakens my hunger for lust. Perhaps, let's cancel dinner and make our way to our rooms." The King stood up and I just noticed that he is completely bare. He didn't even hide his arousal. The part between his legs looks fully swollen.
"Damon, stay the night. I've prepared rooms for the both of you."
"There's no need Uncle. I think it would be best for us to go home." Wait! Did Damon call the King "uncle"? Not only is he a descendant of the Supreme Ruler but also has the blood of royalty of the Kingdom of Lust?
"I insist, Stay. I haven't seen you for months. You didn't even paid respect to the Kingdom last time you went through. Go home after breakfast." The King turned sharply and exited the hall. Prince Asmo is grinning from ear to ear while Damon looks unreadable.
"Show us to our rooms. " Damon then turned to me. "Let's take a rest for the night and continue tomorrow as the King suggested."
Prince Asmo lead the way and lead us to a floor with only two doors. "Rest assured. You're the only guests in this floor and the rooms are fully sound proofed so enjoy to you hearts content."
I slowly entered my room. The door has no lock. It has its own bathroom but the wall separating it to the room is transparent. The bed and sofas are extravagantly oversized. The room is dimly lit and there is a big window which is also a source of light. In front of it is a table with snacks and wine. They might have prepared it knowing we haven't eaten anything earlier. I was about to approach the table but someone knocked on my door and opened it.
"The rooms are too big for one person so let's just share." It's Damon. "But let me borrow your bathroom first, some souls visited my room and clung to me. Their scents are too strong." So Damon can also smell pheromones.
With no hesitance, he stripped naked inside the bathroom, not minding the glass wall. I quickly averted my attention to the snacks I saw earlier and gave him privacy. I took a sip of the wine. It's my first time tasting one and surprisingly it's to my liking. It's sweet and tastes similarly to fruit juice.
I've never drank alcohol before and I guess it's starting to affect me. I can feel myself breathing heavily. My heart is starting to pound loudly and somehow I have the urge to use the bathroom. The sound of the water and trickles from Damon's shower is not helping and its making it worse. Instinctively, I tightened my thighs to supress it but the longer I do that, I'm starting to realize it's not the urge to pee.
My body is getting warmer and so does my lower half. I need to find a way to release but I can't do it in this room. Damon might see me. Maybe there are other bathrooms outside. As I was about to open the door, a figure forced himself in. He carried me by my waist and slammed my body to the bed. Both my wrists were held on top of my head. He buried his face on my neck and started breathing in heavily.
"Haaa..... I'm getting intoxicated with your scent. I knew no one can resist to drink the Pheros. " Still holding my wrists he lowered his head as he breathes in and traces my body. To my chest and to my lower half. Each time his nose touches my skin, I can't help but let out a moan. "If I were you, I'll spread my legs by now. The longer you don't open up, the longer your scent will intensify."
*Thud
We both looked at our side where the sound came from. Damon is looking at us with his fist on the glass wall and the other hand covering his nose.
"Asmo, stop this right now." Damon said in a low commanding voice. He stepped out of the bathroom while still covering his nose with the back of his hand.
"C'mon Damon, why spoil the fun. You never cared before. And if you do care, you'll let me do as I please." Prince Asmo looked at me again while grinning. "The only antedote to Pheros is by having sex, if I released ,my fluid inside you right now, your scent will subside." He said as he presses his private part on my stomach. "Or we can wait until your scent spreads all over the Kingdom, it's a shame I can't monopolize you but an orgy for your first time is a bold choice."
I looked at Damon with pleading eyes. Prince Asmo followed my gaze. "Were you already planning to take each other's virginity? Is that why Damon's in your room? Well we can have a threesome. Damon can release inside you first and I'll go next. Or is it the other way around. I don't mind putting it inside my cousin."
Damon walked towards us. " Asmo, Get out. Obviously this is not consensual." Damon is glaring at Asmo. Surprisingly, Prince Asmo released me.
"Haaa... you and your ideology...." Prince Asmo was about to leave but stopped himself. " Like I said before, there's only one antedote. Since you didn't let me do it, you'll have to." Prince Asmo closed the door.
Damon is just standing beside the bed looking at the door. "Please do something." I pleaded. My whole body feels hot. My hole is feeling itchy and as if it's releasing fluid as Prince Asmo said. To ease what I'm feeling, I touched my front and started rubbing it. Damon's gaze landed at me. He took my hands.
"If you keep doing that, your scent will keep getting stronger. You'll attract other souls. "
"Help me end it."
I can see on his face that's he's thinking and contemplating but landed a decision. He turned me over and raised my behind.
"I'm sorry to this. I know you want your first to be special but I need to do this to protect you from other lustful souls. I also didn't think my first time will be like this."
When Damon said that, I can feel something hurt on my chest. He's doing this not because he wants to but because he needs to. Before I can even think more of it, I can feel something being pushed inside me. It feels like an arm is opening me up. But even with that size, Damon easily put it all due to how wet I became because of Pheros.
He hugged me and spooned me tightly. I can hear and feel his hot breath on my ear. "F*ck. This feels good. " This is also Damon's first time feeling this kind of pleasure. He wrapped his arms around me and we collapsed to the bed while still spooning. I can feel his body twitching eventhough he decided not to move. But each jolt is enough to give me immense plesasure. And with each jolt, I can also hear him groaning and breathing heavily.
The longer we do this, the louder he became. "Haaa..... I'm sorry Eugene. I'm sorry." After he said that I can feel hot fluid being released inside my body. It's flowing heavily and nonstop. I can feel my body relaxing and my vision started blacking out.
