After a few days, Sky returns with a response letter from Naki. She thanked me profusely and then dedicated the rest of the letter to cussing out her son for going against her wishes and making trouble for everyone and telling him to behave for me. I have never read a letter with as much love as this. After reading the letter and with our party full again, we resumed our usual routine. Lysara has custom ordered my collars in different colors for different outfits with an auto-healing enchantment. While she was at it, she got Leo an earring with the same enchantment. We have been here for about a week and a half doing our thing, and the collars and earrings were completed and picked up.
I am currently wearing a thin purple and gold collar which has an enchantment I helped with with my mana. It has an enchantment that will heal me if I get fatally wounded with my own mana automatically, and Leo's earring works the same way. The artisan said that most people can only get one use out of these, but I can insert my mana into the collars since my mana is the same as the enchantment. So, I can use my mana to keep recharging these collars if they ever get used. We haven't gotten an opportunity to pierce Leo's ear yet since we just picked them up. Lysara was the one who put the purple and gold one on me. When coming back from the orphanage around dusk, we were going to get our dinner before returning to the inn. Lysara is talking with Leo a little ways in front of me, and out of nowhere, everything goes black.
I wake up chained up with a long chain lying on a bed. Not this shit again. I am at least still clothed. I look around and I see a man with a scar under his eye. This is the guy from that one altercation that knocked me out months ago. Kenji was in my hood when I was attacked, but I don't feel him behind me. I can feel him in this building, though. He said, seeing my reaction, "Oh, if you are looking for that cat of yours that was sleeping in your hood, I shut him in a separate room so he wouldn't disturb us. I didn't know he was in your hood until I was running away with you, and it was too late at that time. I just wanted to see the reason why my lovely Lysara abandoned me. You see, she and I had a special relationship. She would feed off of my sexual energy, and I would feed off of her blood. Now she ignores me and only looks at you. It frustrates me." He growls in frustration, showing his vampire teeth.
He approaches me, "You do smell delicious, so I think I might have a taste." I backed away from him, frightened, "Wait, will I turn into a vampire if you bite me?" He shakes his head, "No, one can only become a vampire by drinking a fair amount of vampire blood. Like about a cup's worth, give or take. The change would be almost immediate and very painful at first, but once the change is complete, there is no pain. At least that is how it was for me when I changed a few centuries ago. Don't worry, I won't kill you yet, human. I want to live off of you for a while." He says as he then bites into my neck and starts drinking my blood.
He barely gets started when the door bursts in forcefully. Kenji is there growling barely with enough room to clear the door since he is so large, approaching with killing intent. The vampire backs away from me, "Woah, how did you get in here?!" I responded with a slight snarky attitude since this dude is an asshole, "Oh, I forgot to tell you that cat is my familiar, and he is even bigger than that." He stutters while still backing away as he wipes my blood off of his chin, "H-h-how did a human tame such a beast?" I responded with that same snarky attitude, "I don't think you should be asking questions right now. You interrupted dinner time, and you see he is very hungry. You have a choice to make: you can unchain me and treat me civilized until Lysara comes to pick me up, OR you can keep me chained up and become Kenji's dinner, and Lysara rescues me anyway."
He makes his decision quickly and comes to unchain me, and says, "I am so sorry for the rude behavior, miss priestess. Please forgive my insolence. I am Anton. If you both follow me, I can take you to my dining room where I can provide you with a feast." I replied, "That sounds lovely." With a victorious smile. Kenji returns small as we walk to the dining room. While we are mid-meal, there is a lot of yelling and banging, which sounds like Lysara and Leo. They come running into the dining room to see blood running down my neck, but a chill relaxed atmosphere, eating food, and are very confused.
Lysara looks at Anton with her vein popping on her forehead, "What the fuck, Anton?!" He starts sweating a cold sweat, "We had a simple misunderstanding." I corrected him after elegantly wiping my mouth and said in my dining voice, "More like he shit his pants when Kenji busted in at a larger size when he was drinking my blood." Lysara laughs hard, "That sounds about right. Since you caused us so much trouble, we are just going to join you here." Anton nods quickly, "Yes, of course." He is such a well-behaved little vampire now. HA. This is too funny. I don't realize it at the time, but I was smirking ever so slightly while eating, which I haven't done in a very long time.
Leo's eyes gleam in excitement, and he drools as he loads his plate with meat and digs in immediately. I tell Leo, "Slow down, Leo. Don't want you to choke and die on me." "Uggh." He groans in protest while slowing down his pace. Anton asks, "So what is the deal with the kid?" I replied after placing my fork down, "You know for an asshole who attacks and kidnaps women for fun, you sure do ask a lot of questions. How about you answer some of ours first, then we can answer yours?" Anton shrugs, sipping his wine, "Sure, whatever."
I then started asking, "Why did you and that group attack the crown prince of Perdita's carriage that one day?" He sighs, "I am a part of the assassin's guild and have been for centuries, and we sometimes take shady requests. We learn not to ask too many questions. Our targets are usually for kidnapping or assassination. Some are good. Some are bad. Money is money, though." I ask another question, "I thought vampires are weak to sunlight? That attack happened in broad daylight." He responded, "Our strength is halved in the day, but other than that, we are fine in the sunlight." So that means that only half of a vampire's strength is enough to knock me out with no protective gear. Humans are really weak in comparison to demons. I can see why humans are terrified of demons in general now. I say, feeling satisfied with his responses, "Those were my two main questions."
Anton gives a look of curiosity and says after sipping his wine, "Wow. Not one question of my past sexual relations with Lysara." This guy knows how to annoy people. I push the annoyance down and respond elegantly habitually, "Well, I honestly don't care how she was in the past. She could have had sex with everyone in Patala, and I would be ok with that. Sure, things might be a bit complicated in that hypothetical, but we would work through things just fine. I only care about right now and the future." Lysara is blushing a bit at my answer while still eating. Anton then asks, "Can I ask a question now?" I say, "Sure." "Are you sure you are ok with being only a small fraction of Lysara's life? Human lifespans are so short and minuscule in comparison to immortals like us." He says while sipping wine, looking honestly intrigued, awaiting my response.
I sit there and sip my wine while pondering that question. I never really thought about it that deeply before, since we were always living in the moment. I say after thinking about it, "Dying first doesn't bother me since death waits for no one. After thinking about it, what bothers me most is the pain Lysara will feel when I die." Anton says, "As a way of making amends, I can offer you my blood, which gives you immortality like Lysara. You might get a weird complex about garlic, though." I take another sip of my wine, thinking, and say, "I need more time to think that over. I also want to talk with Lysara about it privately." Anton says, "I understand. Forever is a long time and a huge commitment. It also comes with complications like needing a regular supply of blood."
Leo says with a full mouth, "What is there to think about, Miss Ari? There seems to be more advantages than disadvantages to this offer." I replied to Leo, "Death can be a blessing, you know. Forever is not a good thing all the time. If Lysara died and I were immortal, I would be looking for ways to die. Without Lysara, I would not want to continue living." Anton perks up, "Oh, if that is the case, a wooden or earthly substance to the heart kills us. If she ever dies before you, you can kill yourself like that. Alternatively, you can chain yourself up and starve yourself. Though if you do that, you run the risk of becoming a threat to everyone if you escape in your starved delirium." Lysara snaps, "Hey, I don't like where this conversation is headed. Ari, please don't talk about killing yourself so casually."
I responded to Lysara, "I don't think you understand how desperate I was when we crossed paths. If I got caught or cornered, I had a list of ways to kill myself to escape that fate. When I was a child about Leo's age, the one at the top of the list was putting on one of those terribly heavy dresses and taking a 'swim'. Now I have you, though. I have never felt safer than with you by my side. When I was thinking those things, I was being suffocated by my father. I am free from his grasp for now and hopefully forever." Lysara sighs a pouty sigh, "Well, when you say things like that, it is hard to be mad." She continues to pout a bit as we finish eating. Kenji has finished and curled up in my hood again. Anton, seeing this, "Oh yeah! You never did tell me how you got that beast as a familiar." I responded, "Well, I healed him when he was extremely wounded. He almost ripped my arm off in the process, and we became friends. Our story in a nutshell. It happened right after our first encounter that night." I say as I lower my shirt to show the scar on my shoulder.
Anton replies with an unamused face, "That was more boring than anticipating. I was expecting a grandiose tale of a long battle or something, but thanks for answering, though. You have quelled my curiosity. Since you all have finished eating, I won't keep you further, and you have things to discuss, so you can get to it. You can come by tomorrow evening when you decide. If you need more time, that is fine, too. I could wait a few decades easily." I wipe my mouth with my napkin elegantly and respond, "That is good to know, Anton. We will get out of your hair then. Thank you for the meal." Anton looks to Lysara, "Can I have a quick taste of your blood for old time's sake?" Lysara replied with a little attitude, "Our arrangement is no longer necessary. Therefore, you shall not be drinking my blood anymore. Find another snack."
Anton purrs, "Reow. Feisty. Ok, fine. Have it your way." Lysara says with the same bit of attitude, "Did you not drink enough from my beloved's neck already?" Anton clicks his teeth, "Tsk. No. That was but an appetizer. We were interrupted by a certain terrifying kitty cat." Lysara giggles, "Good. She is my source of food. Get your own." Anton says dramatically, clutching his chest, "Ugggh, so mean. I am hurt." Lysara rolls her eyes and gestures to all of us, "We are leaving now, Anton. BYE." I replied, "Thanks for the food." I say as we go to leave, he nods in response while he drinks his wine, lifting his glass in our direction as he swallows as we leave.
When we get back to the inn, we erect the anti-eavesdropping barrier and sit on the bed to talk. Lysara starts by saying, "First off, I want you to heal yourself before we say anything. I am tired of seeing that on your neck." I totally forgot about it, to be honest. I touch myself and I cast a heal spell. She wipes off the blood with a handkerchief as she says, "Good girl. Now I want to start off by saying that I would love to spend the rest of my life with you by my side. I would be so elated to wake up next to you every day for several millennia to come. That thought fills me with so much joy. I can feed off your energy for all those years, and you can drink my blood." I reach over and drag my fingers across her exposed arm, "When you say it like that, I can't possibly refuse. Before I met you, I would have definitely turned down his offer. An eternity of loneliness seems like torture. Though I would gladly become a demon, if it means we can be together for several millennia."
Lysara chuckles, "You know when you said earlier that forever means nothing without me? I feel that exact way about you, Ari. I would starve myself until I die if you ever left me or even rip my own heart out so we could meet in the next life." I lean in to kiss her tenderly. After the kiss, I say while looking at her delicious lips, "It is decided then. Tomorrow I will be losing my humanity." I lean in to kiss her again, "I am looking forward to spending several millennia with you, Lysara." I kiss her yet again.
Lysara puts her finger in between our lips for a moment and says, "I want to touch you now, Ari." She rolls over to the edge of the bed, reaching into her bag to pull out two dildos and lube for today's play time. I get hot in anticipation, and she inhales like she knows I am ready for playtime from my smell, but she smiles her naughty smile that she likes to give when she wants to tease me. She hops in bed and she kisses me all over slowly and tenderly. Making me very sexually frustrated, wanting more. She kisses my inner thighs and bites me hard and draws some blood. I wince and moan with pleasure at the same time. She says, "My other bite marks didn't scar. I wanted something that would show for years to come. You are mine." I purr, liking the sentiment, "Can I bite you, too?" Lysara says, "You will be biting me over and over for several millennia. Tonight is my night." She says with a little spunk.
She licks where she bit, and I moan at the slight tingly sensation of pain. She then says, "Oh, are you wanting more pain?" I nod. She then asks, "Do you want a spanking?" I nod. She tells me to turn over. She smacks my ass while controlling her strength like usual and I moan, "Yes, Lysara. I have been such a bad girl." Looking back at her with my face flushed furiously with a blush. Flushed in anticipation. Lysara is wearing that naughty smirk of hers and she smacks my ass again and I moan, "Harder! Lysara! Bad girls need hard spankings!" She replies, "So you have been bad. We just have to punish you then. She puts more force into it and I yelp and moan in pleasure as she hits me, "Oh yeah! Just like that, Lysara! I have been so bad! I left your side like a bad girl." She giggles that naughty giggle and smacks me over and over while I moan in pleasure. After a while, I shake my head three times, and she grabs the dildos and says, "I want you to sit on my face. I will give you this dildo to use how you desire." I straddle her face, and she starts licking me. I moan immediately from pleasure, and she starts the phantom's kiss.
I get my hand and start touching her on the hood of her clit. Swirling in circles while feeling her moans between my legs. After a while of that, I grab the dildo and lube it up and insert it into Lysara slowly. Her tongue is getting more intense, which distracts me a moment as I moan in pleasure, and more of her phantom's kiss is pulled from my mouth. I continue pushing the dildo in and let her adjust to the size before I start pumping. After several moments, I start progressively getting rougher going in and out. My other hand is propping me up right now but right between her legs so my index and middle finger can swirl around the hood of her clit while not moving my support hand. She is continually moaning into me, and the vibrations plus her licking cause me to moan every time.
I am leaning a bit forward, so I am not 'sitting' quite literally on her face now, so she is lifting her neck a bit. She rests her head while grabbing the dildo by her and lubes it up and slowly penetrates me to get me adjusted before pumping rhythmically. Both of us are moaning loudly in pleasure. Today she orgasms first and screams with ecstasy, "Goddess, yes! Yes, Ari!" As her body contorts in pleasure. I continue to pump the dildo roughly into her as she orgasms and stop when she is done, like usual, before pulling out. She hasn't stopped pumping the dildo into me since she is a pro succubus after all, and I orgasm right behind her. I am moving my body back and forth into her as she pumps into me. Matching her rhythm as I roughly continue to move my hips into her. Screaming Lysara's name. She has her phantom's kiss engaged during my whole orgasm until my climax ends.
She pulls out once I am done, and I turn my body around and plop down on top of her. Using her stomach as a pillow, putting my hands under my chin looking up at her face while I catch my breath. She reaches down and plays with my hair a bit, "I love hearing you scream my name so much. It is something I never tire of." I blush and say, "I love you making me scream your name." Lysara purrs, "Stop saying things like that, or we are going to have to go again. Before that, heal yourself again. I want to see how the bite turned out." She says as she continues to twirl my hair within her fingers. I touch myself and cast another heal. She flips me over and examines her handiwork, "Very nice. I love it. You are mine." She bends down to kiss where she bit earlier, and she goes to lick between my legs again.
