Daniel and Kera’tai rest under Kera’tai’s blankets after their long soak in the jacuzzi. It’s still a secret for the moment, until of course Xyreko rats Daniel out, but he’ll cross that bridge soon enough.

  “Daniel?”

  “Mm?”

  “Will you run away with me?”

  He scoffs, but quickly apologizes. “You know I can’t at this point, Kera’tai.”

  She kisses his cheek tenderly, teasing, “Can’t blame a girl for trying, right?”

  “Nope. Sorry, though.”

  She hugs him and presses her cheek to his collar. “I understand. All these beautiful women around you, most of them knocked up… insatiable sexual appetites…”

  “It’s enough to keep a man prisoner,” jokes Daniel.

  She giggles. Daniel is under ‘house arrest’, ‘guarded’ by his lady consorts so that he doesn’t do anything reckless until they have a better handle on what Rikuto made. Ahok has been helping

  Wenlianna, Vaergraes, and Illianna understand the spell that the void artillery uses to cause annihilation. And, Daniel’s house arrest is those very same consorts demanding his attention, rather than letting him get away with his usual excuses.

  Kera’tai gently swirls her hand on his chest. “I suppose… I have to give you up to Aoloan next.”

  Daniel doesn’t say anything. The last thing he wants to do is to get between them when they’ve been peacefully working out systems on how to handle their personal time with Daniel.

  Instead, he asks, “Hey, do you remember one of the first things you told me about Aoloan?”

  She cocks her head, confused at first. It takes a moment, but she quickly perks up. “Oh! That you shouldn’t sleep with her?”

  Daniel nods.

  She blushes a little, admitting softly, “I was afraid you would die.”

  “And, why would I die?”

  “The succubi feed on mana when they are intimate. Or, at least, they drain it. A-And since you didn’t have any…”

  “So, I’m safe now?”

  She pouts, but nods. “Oh, and… I release you from your promise. I can’t make Aoloan hate you, and… she’s become a good friend.”

  “You sure you’re alright with that…?”

  Kera’tai smiles, and she kisses his nose. “It’s sweet of you to ask, Daniel. But, we all came to an agreement. I’m sure you noticed Hekate has left you alone outside of meal times.”

  Daniel scoffs and nods. “It’s a little lonely, now that you mention it.”

  Kera’tai smirks at him, and she kisses him. “I’ll hold you to your more important promise, Daniel. To knock me up.” She grins playfully, and he can’t help but smile in return.

  “That’s a promise I’m happy to keep.” He spanks her lightly, and she gasps. She decides to retaliate this time, and she pokes his bicep with a finger.

  But, her finger is empowered by electricity magic. She only hits him with a small spark. It’s enough to make him jolt and yelp in brief pain, but he chuckles after as he massages his shoulder. He emphasizes dramatically, “Owww…”

  “Spanking me when we’re cuddling is unfair. You’re supposed to treat me like a delicate maiden. A princess, even.”

  “Please forgive me your illustrious Highness. I have soiled your body. I’ll never touch you again.”

  She glares at him, and he chuckles. She shoves him in the chest, pushing him as she urges, “Get going, you lecherous womanizer. Aoloan’s going to blame me.”

  Daniel climbs out of the bed, but he leans over to kiss Kera’tai, and she smiles as she enjoys the kiss.

  Daniel gently rubs one of her breasts with his hand, and he leans down to kiss her nipple, licking it gently. Kera’tai hums in approval, and he says as he stands back up, “I’ll be back for these.” He pinches her nipple gently, and she hums in an effeminate squeak. “You better, Daniel. It’s not fair that Ryuo, Reina, and Geira get to be your favorites.”

  Daniel smirks. He whispers gently, “They’re pushier than everyone else. Which, I don’t mind.”

  Kera’tai pouts. But, she did bring herself to ask him to run away with her, so she feels like she can do or say anything.

  Not necessarily today, but next time.

  “I’ll see you at dinner then, Daniel. Have fun.” She adopts a musical tone at the end, teasing him. He smiles and strokes her face affectionately. After a short time of enjoying their time together, he leaves her to relax on her bed for a little while longer.

  ***

  Daniel steals a few moments to himself to get a drink. His usual drinking partner, Treia, can’t have alcohol anymore, though he needs to make sure she knows that.

  Aoloan walks into the hangar lounge where he usually hangs out with Choul. They’re still waiting on revival potations for him, so it’s still status quo.

  Daniel sits up. He has a mild buzz, and he already knows what’s about to happen, so he immediately goes into a humorous mood.

  “Well, well, well. Look who we have here.”

  Aoloan immediately straightens her posture into prideful as she looks at him. “Daniel. Didn’t Kera’tai tell you?”

  “I haven’t left the Citadel.”

  She sighs. “Ugh. You…” She walks over to him less dignified than how she entered. She plops down on the lounge sofa beside Daniel, and she faces him. “Kera’tai was supposed to send you to find me.”

  This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

  Daniel teases, “What, am I on a timer? Is this speed dating?”

  “I’ve been waiting forever!” She lightly strikes him with loosely balled fists, and Daniel recoils a little, flopping onto his back as he avoids retaliating. She climbs onto him to continue her attack, which is nothing close to an actual beating. “I was right there the day you defended Peony, and I have every right to have been one of the first you claimed as a woman.”

  “And… you want that?”

  “I-... You know what I mean! You didn’t treat us like prisoners! You were kind and fun. Not to mention strong.” She holds his chin between her index fingernail and her thumb, controlling his head for the moment if she wants to. “Play your games, Daniel, but you have kept a succubus deprived of what she wants for far too long.” Her tone is foreboding in a lascivious way. She’s like a hungry predator eyeing a meal. She uses her left hand to stroke his cheek with the point of her fingernail, pointedly dragging it across his face. “Do you know what a succubus is known for?” asks Aoloan in a predatory tone.

  “Well… mine’s known for cooking…”

  She presses her nails into his chin, and he chuckles nervously, wincing a little in pain under the pinpricks. She grins wickedly as she looks down on him. “So, I’m yours, then?”

  “Only if you want to be…”

  “I do,” replies Aoloan confidently. She somewhat forcefully kisses Daniel, now using her left hand to start on removing his clothes.

  Daniel works on the lacing for her clothes as well, and they strip each other. When his shoulder is exposed, she touches the very distinct bite mark on his shoulder, where Treia bit him especially hard. It’s still bandaged, but his blood has made the mark obvious.

  “I see…” murmurs the succubus.

  “Please don’t mark me, Aoloan. Last thing I need is a bunch of bites and brands all over me.”

  She smirks, though it’s also partially in disappointment. “Who was it?”

  “I don’t think I should…”

  Aoloan immediately begins chanting in a language Daniel doesn’t know, which is nothing new, and she puts her hand on his chest. He can feel her hand heating up, and he quickly blurts out, “Okay! Okay! It was Treia! Geez! She bit me in the heat of the moment. And, for the record, it hurt a lot.”

  Aoloan smiles triumphantly, sliding her hips down to drag her vagina across Daniel’s penis, which is pressed between them for the moment. She grins as she feels his member twitch under her. “Mmm… Seems you like that, though, hmm?”

  Daniel chuckles. “Guys are easy. I like a lot of things. Such as this.” Daniel hooks his hands behind her shoulder blades and pulls her chest close so he can lick her breasts and suckle her nipples. He nibbles gently on her left nipple with his teeth, and she hums as she guides her hands through his hair affectionately. “I find it hard to believe you’ve blown me off all this time, Daniel. A beautiful succubus like me, and you haven’t invited me to bed even once.” She keeps her vagina pressed to his penis, sliding back and forth on him. She has amazing flexibility, and she uses every bit of it to swirl and flex in gyrating motions.

  Daniel finally warns, “Keep this up, and I’m going to make a mess.”

  “Hmm… Your mess to clean up, as usual.”

  Daniel chuckles. “You’re being a bit insolent today.”

  “Insolent? I’m a sexually neglected consort. If anything, I’m… aggressive.” She emphasizes her tone, intentionally sliding herself so that Daniel’s tip teases penetration, but then she lifts her hips just enough to slide across him again. She drags it out for a long time, riding Daniel with both of their bodies in intimate contact, but not actually penetrating.

  Daniel can’t resist, and he reaches climax. He tenses up, and his virile batter splurts out, smeared between them as Aoloan slows her grinding. She grins deviously at Daniel. “Awww… Daniel, what a waste…”

  “You did that.”

  She covers her mouth, feigning surprise. “Me? Well then… If I’m so incompetent, perhaps you should take charge.”

  Daniel smirks. He knows he’s not the most masculine man in the world. He doesn’t try to entice anyone, he doesn’t have great ambitions, and he doesn’t chase conquests. So, he knows exactly what she’s calling him out on.

  “Are you sure that’s what you want? I’m a lecherous deviant.”

  She bursts into laughter. When she can speak, she jokes, “And, I’m a promiscuous, man-eating succubus.” She leans down close to his face with a warm grin. “Do your worst, Daniel.” She kisses him.

  The human mechanic rolls them both over, pressing her down on the sofa, and she gasps and giggles. He growls in his best porn actor’s voice, “I hope you’re ready to be a pregnant succubus, Aoloan. I’ve been on a roll this week.”

  She laughs and happily acccepts when he kisses her this time. She replies as deviously as she can, “I’m going to drain every drop you have, Daniel. And, when I’m done, you’re going to be begging me to mark you.”

  He chuckles. “Challenge accepted.”

  He is lubricated from her efforts, and he is able to get his erection again after a few thrusts of his hips against hers. She hooks her legs over his hips for good measure, and her tail coils around his thigh.

  Daniel presses his tip into her, and she moans happily. She prods his anus with her tail, which instinctively causes him to pitch forward in surprise, driving himself deep into her. She gasps and cries out, hugging him. She slides her tail between both of their legs, rubbing his perineum, which causes a muscle twitch and for Daniel to pause a moment as he looks at her.

  She cocks her head coyly, smiling up at him. “Something wrong?”

  “Nope. Just wondering if you need to be able to walk tomorrow.”

  She laughs again, taunting him. “You think you can? Then I accept your challenge, Daniel.”

  Daniel takes a breath and exhales. He shifts his position so he has leverage, and he is able to thrust his hips more quickly in a firm rhythm. Aoloan gasps and begins moaning, clinging to him. But, she still has enough presence of mind to slide her tail between his legs again, which stimulates his muscles and draws him closer not only to orgasm, but to an even stronger climax than normal, thanks to tickling around the muscles that directly contribute to his finish.

  Daniel can’t help but feel a little competitive by the prodding and teasing, and he bucks his hips as powerfully as he can, slapping his pelvis into Aoloan’s, and the flesh of their bodies makes a repetitive smacking sound, nearly drowned out by Aoloan’s cries of joy.

  Daniel flattens out as he reaches close to his peak, but Aoloan beats him, having not reached climax the first time. She arches her back and bucks against the sofa, crying out loudly.

  Daniel presses down into her, grunting as he does his finishing thrusts, claiming yet another one of his lovers.

  However, he feels a strange sensation in his mind, like someone breathing in his ear. It’s not especially loud or alluring, but he starts to feel more at ease. He also starts to feel like Aoloan looks more and more beautiful. She does look wonderful to his eyes either way, having what he would imagine a succubus’s body to look like. Her breasts aren’t too large or too small, curving distinctly and having a bouncy firmness to them. Her hips are also splendidly curved to perfect her hourglass-like figure, but not dramatically overdone by implants or anorexia.

  But, Daniel isn’t just attracted to her body in the afterglow. Something is influencing him.

  “So… This is what it means to be hypnotized?”

  She flinches a little, looking at him apologetically. He also feels like he has a sudden exhaustion, even more so than having just had sex twice. He recognizes it as his mana being drained, such as when he tried to receive telepathy.

  Aoloan murmurs cutely, “You have a very delicious mana, Daniel. I just couldn’t help myself.”

  He kisses her. “I see. Are you going to apologize?”

  She smirks deviously. “I’m afraid not, Daniel. I got what I wanted.” She hugs him with her arms and legs, and her tail snakes up around his shoulder and pets his cheek, coiling gently around his neck. “And, I’ll happily take you away with me.”

  “Where would we go?” asks Daniel playfully, not resisting her embrace.

  She gets a dumbfounded look on her face as her mind comes to a halt. “Did you not think that far ahead?”

  “Wha-!? No…”

  He chuckles and kisses her again.

  “I can’t run away with you, Aoloan. But, if it’s what you want, I’ll keep you a very pregnant succubus.”

  She giggles, admitting, “I know. But, it seems that archoneldwyn woman regularly tries to steal you away for herself.”

  “She’s a stalker, and she does what she wants. She won’t get everything she wants.” Daniel smiles at her, thrusting his hips just once more.

  She gasps a little, and Daniel cuddles with her for a while until she finally lets him go so they can get dressed and go to dinner. And, it’s there that Reignleif suddenly goes rigid, announcing to everyone that her second egg is finally coming.
