Every Hear of Positivity: Chapter 2

Astrella ducks out of the way as the table is smashed to bits. You are furious, and swinging the hammer around has only invigorated your anger. Adrenaline cooks in your veins as you try to nail the creature.

 

“WHAT ARE YOU?” you yell.

 

Astrella grabs a chair and throws it at you. You easily whip your hammer and smash the chair into bits.

 

Suddenly, a foot collides with your face. You stumble back, your nose is bleeding and throbbing. You wildly look at her while she trembles in a fighting stance.

 

“Now…listen…you made me do that,” she stammers. “Now…can we take a deep breath and…”

 

“DIE!” you roar as you raise the hammer over your head

 

She jumps out of the way right as you decimate the floorboards.

 

Astrella knows she’s in it deep now. You are consumed by rage, but also a feeling of betrayal. And it makes sense, Astrella concealed a lot from you. Except now you’re making it impossible to talk since you are in an enormous fit of rage. Thankfully, before Astrella started doing her missions, she had taken some extensive martial arts training from kunoichi’s. She never had to use it, until now.

 

Acting quickly, Astrella swipes at your legs. You fall to the ground to your knees, and before you can get up, Astrella chops your wrist. You howl as your arm freezes, your hammer falls out of your hand. You still have a firm grip on it with the other, until a powerful punch to the sternum takes the wind out of you.

 

You stumble back gasping and clutching your chest.

 

Astrella looks nervous. “Ok, I’m sorry. But now, maybe we can…”

 

You lunge at her with a weak punch. She dodges it easily.

 

“Father…” she says nervously. “Let’s stop this and talk. “

 

“No…” you rasp as you heave another punch forward.

 

She ducks again and slips behind you. She wraps her arm around your throat and puts another behind your head. Astrella had learned this trick from the kunoichi, it takes just a little pressure and the subject should be knocked out in a matter of seconds.

 

You elbow her in the gut, and she rasps.

 

This might take longer.

 

You flip her over your shoulder and slam her onto the floor. Your Order training has prepared you for this moment, to deal with all the monsters.

 

Astrella has the wind knocked out of her again.

 

“Stay down!” you bark.

 

Astrella still has one trick up her sleeve, she held back because she thought you were fragile. But after this fight, it’s time to take the gloves off.

 

She raises her hands and sends out a light, but powerful blast of energy. You are sent flying back into the ceiling. You slam into it hard, and then come down just as hard. You fall flat on the floor, and aren’t moving.

 

“Oh no…oh no…” Astrella worries she might have killed you. She goes over to you and pokes your body. You groan, but are unconscious.

 

“Ok…ok….ok….” Astrella gulps. “He’s just a little unconscious….no biggie….and now…I have an unconscious priest in the church….oh no.”

 

Astrella knows the ruckus won’t attract anyone. The walls are thick enough so she doesn’t have to worry about attracting anyone. It’s not Sunday, so there’s no sermon. All should be good….unless Thomas comes by!!!

 

She quickly drags you to your room. On the bright side, since it’s downstar it should be easy,  but she supports your neck to prevent it from bumping on the stairs. She struggles, her muscles aching as she lugs you to your room. “Why are you so heavy?”

 

Astrella has never had to do this before, mainly because the priests she corrupted didn’t find out and did not try to kill her!!!

 

She gets to his room and leans up against the wall. She looks over at his bed, realizing she’ll have to lug him into that. “Demon Lord help me.”

 

The magic she used was a small repulser spell. It’s meant to knock back opponents, to allow for a quick getaway. She learned it from a dark mage. It’s easy to use and doesn’t require much mana. Unfortunately, that’s the only magic she knows.

 

She hoists you by your armpits, cursing under her breath and lugs you to your bed. She heaves you onto the bed, getting your upper body onto the mattress. “Finally.”

 

She then remembers the legs. “Fuck.”

She grabs your legs and puts them on the bed. She leans over on the bed, panting. She wants a drink of water, but knows she has to make sure you stay where you are first.

 

“Why did I not train with the amazons?” she groans. “I could have learned to lift better.”

 

She leaned against the bed, now trying to figure out what to use to tie you down. While you hadn’t seen action in awhile, he still had a considerable amount of strength.

 

“Will bedsheets be enough?” she thought. She couldn’t wait too long, otherwise he would wake up.

 

She went to his closet and grabbed some sheets. She tore them up into long, but firm lengths. She started by making a tight knot against the bed posts, then she tied them tightly around your wrists and legs. She gave them a quick tug, they felt firm. She breathed a sigh of relief.

 

“Ok, ok, now, I just have to explain myself, hopefully he’ll listen this time…”

 

She hears you groan as you come to. She nervously looks over her shoulder at you. “Hi….”

 

Your brain, back, and chest hurt. Like you were hit by a horse lugging a cart. Your eyes wearlily look at a smiling Sister Astrella. Or just Astrella now. You growl at her. “You..”

 

Astrella tries to defuse the situation. “Now, I understand we started off rough…but…”

 

“But nothing!” you bark. “You are nothing but a filthy demon lord supporter!”

 

Astrella looks a little hurt. “Will you just let me explain?”

 

“What is there to explain?”

 

Before she can answer, you both hear movement upstairs.

 

Her eyes go wide as she sees your throat bulging for a scream.

 

“HE-ummph!!!” she shoves a piece of sheet in your mouth, and ties it around your head.

 

“Be quiet!” she hisses.

 

You struggle, trying to call for help but she’s tied it firmly against your mouth.

 

“Let me check this out, and I’ll be back to explain everything, I promise!”

 

“That’s if they don’t find me first,” you think.

 

Astrella goes upstairs, trying to keep her emotions in check. It’s bad enough that someone is here, but the kitchen is in rough shape, not to mention if they get too curious they’ll see their priest tied up!

 

“Maybe I could tell them he’s possessed,” she thinks. “It’s worth a shot.”

 

She goes up stairs and makes her way to the main building. She opens the door to the main room and sees Thomas standing right there

 

“Thomas! How are you?” she smiles.

 

“I’m good…I..uh..came over for some work.”

 

“Oh well….there’s not much to do today,” she tries to close the door just enough to keep Thomas from seeing the inside of the kitchen.

 

Thomas frowns. “You sure?” He tries to peer inside the kitchen. “Is everything alright in there?”

 

“Oh..nothing…”

 

But Thomas’s eyes spotted the broken kitchen, complete with the shattered chairs and broken cupboards. “What happened here?”

 

Astrealla cleared her throat, while she would have rather not have him see this mess, she did have a lie handy. It’s important to always have a lie ready just in case. “Oh, I didn’t want you to see, it’s embarrassing.”

 

She gestures to your warhammer on the ground. “I had to call Father up here because….I saw a rat.”

 

“A rat?” Thomas looks at the hammer in disbelief. He didn’t know you owned one. “And he owns that? And he used it on a rat?”

 

“Well, it was a big rat.”

 

“How big?”

 

“Well, I mean,” she laughed dryly. “I thought it was as big as a small dog, you know, the ones the royals own.”

 

Thomas nodded his head. “I’ve seen those ones around, nasty creatures…” he looks around the kitchen. “Did he get it?”

 

“Well, I honestly don’t know, I was screaming the whole time.”

 

“I didn’t hear anything.”

 

“Thick walls, amazing aren’t they?”

 

Thomas nodded. “Yeah, the only thing I hear is the bell ringing most of the time.”

 

Thomas whistled. “Didn’t think he had a warhammer, yah learn something new every day.”

 

Astrella nodded. “Indeed, well, I hate to ask, but do you think you could clean this up and maybe do some repairs?”

 

Thomas chuckled. “Well, I can clean up the mess, but I’ll need to grab some supplies to deal with the floor, and cupboard. Need some new wood.”

 

She nodded. “Excellent, and how long will that take?”

 

“I have nothing to do all day so I’m your man.”

 

Thomas gets to work clearing the debris, making a nice pile of wood and rubble. “So where is Father?”

 

“Oh he’s resting, swinging that hammer really took it out of him.”

 

Thomas nods. “God damn, he hit it deep into the floor.” he runs his hand over the broken wood, shocked. “That rat must have been huge, hell I know a woman that chased a rat around with a butcher’s knife, but nothing like this.”

 

“Well, you know, when a former soldier starts swinging around a weapon, it brings back a lot of memories.”

 

“Father was a soldier?” Thomas looks shocked. “I didn’t know that.”

 

“Well, I would say you should buy him a drink but I think we agreed you wouldn’t drink anymore,” chuckles Astrella.

 

Thomas laughs. “Right, maybe we can share a canteen of water.”

 

He gets up. “I’m gonna grab some wood for the floor, as for the cabinets, well, I know a woodworker, he might be able to help.”

 

“Bless your heart,” Astrella smiles.

 

Thomas leaves, and Astrella runs down to check on you.

 

While she was upstairs talking to Thomas, you were struggling to get out of the restraints. She tied them tight, and the gag made it hard for you to scream for help. You knew it would be pointless to scream for help, so you saved your energy for trying to break the restraints.

 

You can only imagine what she is going to do to you. With you tied up she could do all manner of things. But the problem is, you don’t know what she is! She could be a cultist, or is she a mamano? You shudder, realizing you could have let a mamano into your church.

 

Astrella returns. “Hey, how are you doing?”

 

You look at her with disgust, you are tied to a bed, how do you think you are doing?

 

“Well, listen,” she says. “Thomas is going to do some cleaning, and some repairs to the kitchen, don’t worry, I told him I saw a rat and you were trying to smash it.”

 

You roll your eyes. Why is she telling you this?

 

“Oh also, he knows you are a former warrior, so sometime, when you are a little less angry, maybe you could have a drink with him, water of course.”

 

You struggle against your restraints, but Astrella remains unphased.

 

“Now, I’ll be upstairs, and once he’s done working, I’ll bring you down some food and water, until then, take this opportunity to get some rest.”

 

She leaves you alone, leaving you fuming. To make matters worse, you are tired and you are comfy. Maybe a quick nap, and then you’ll be ready.

 

******

Thomas carefully strips the damaged wood from the floor. “They really do build these churches tough.”

 

Astrella nods. “They have to stick around for hundreds of years.”

 

“Well, hopefully my work will last that long,” he lays down a long plank. He nails it carefully into the floor. “Is Father still asleep?”

 

“Yes, he’s very tired.”

 

Thomas chuckles. “Isn’t he always?”

 

“What do you mean?”

 

“It was rare to see him outside of church post-mass. I figured he was sleeping most of the time. Until you came along.”

 

Astrella nods. “He needed help engaging.”

 

“Well you really did help, if it hadn’t been for you don’t think I would have gotten this job. You truly have made an impact,” he hammers in the final nail. “You two are great for each other.”

 

Astrella smiled softly to maintain the innocence of her nun disguise, but inside she smiled from ear to ear.

 

Great for each other?

 

That’s what people say when they think two people will make for a great couple.

 

“Unfortunately, I don’t have the cabinets yet,” Thomas sighed. “I’ve taken the measurements and I should have them in a day or two, gotta have someone build them.”

 

He got up to leave, he turned around and smiled. “Tell Father I said hi, and tell him maybe use something else than a hammer next time he sees a rat.”

 

Astrella waved bye to him. “I’ll let him know.”

 

After Thomas left, Astrella bit her lip. “Now, what to cook for dinner?”

 

*****

You awake to the smell of cooked and seasoned potatoes. You open your eyes to see a plate under your nose and Astrella wafting the delicious scent into your nose. She smiles nervously. “Glad to see you are awake.”

 

You are still gagged, but that’s not the only reason why you remain silent.

 

“Now listen, I’m going to explain everything, and feed you,” Astrella thought this was romantic, feeding a man in bed! Granted it was a little awkward due to him being tied to the bed, and gagged. It was more like a stalker story, but still cute. “Will you behave yourself?”

 

You glance at the potatoes, they do smell good, but did she poison them?

 

As if she can read your mind, she says. “The only thing I put on them is salt, pepper, a little garlic…” she leans in. “And love.”

 

You furrow your brows at that, it sounds romantic, but you are wary of her intentions.

 

“So you want the potatoes?” she asked.

 

You nod, you could eat. She takes off the gag and sticks some potatoes with a fork. She shoves it into your mouth. You cannot lie, she is an amazing cook.

 

“What are you?” you ask.

 

Astrella sighs. “Ok, don’t freak out.”

 

She takes off her ring, then you see her pale skin remains the same, but her ears shift from round to pointed. You look in horror as a long, navy blue tail slink around your leg.

 

“You…you are a succubus!” you balk.

 

“Close, I’m a dark priest,” she replies

 

You were more familiar with succubus than this kind. “What’s the difference?”

 

“Well, I go to towns to spread the word of the glory of the demon lord, and the love that is spread.”

 

You narrow your eyes ”Love? Or the pleasures of the flesh?”

 

She chuckles dryly. “Well….those can overlap a little.”

 

“I take it you don’t reveal your true self when spreading the word,” you say bitterly.

 

“Well…if I was to do that I would be driven out.”

 

“How did you become this?”

 

“I used to be a nun.”

“You were a nun?”

 

“Yes, it made my work easier.”

 

“Your corruption.”

 

“That term is a little malevolent.”

 

“But it’s true.”

 

“I spread the word of the Demon Lord.”

“How did you fall for a false idol like that?”

 

Astrella looks frustrated, she lowers her brows at you. “I was sent to the nunnery when I was 14, kept away from men. As I grew older, I had…urges.”

 

You roll your eyes. “That happens to everyone, even I had urges, but you know what I did? I kept them under control like a responsible person!”

 

“I did! But I struggled, I … .I touched myself a lot.”

 

“You….masturbated?”

 

“Yes! You probably did too!”

 

“NO!”

 

Astreall clears her throat and flushes red with embarrassment. She didn’t expect that from you, she hoped you both would have had something in common. “Anyways…I was punished many times, and…I couldn’t understand it. I prayed asking to end my urges, I had no way of satisfying them.”

 

“You try praying harder?”

 

She rolls her eyes. “Anyways, I went out into the woods, hoping nature would clear my head and out there, I got on my knees and prayed. I asked the Chief God why, why were my urges still active? I went to the nunnery and I was holy, shouldn’t I be immune to them? Why tempt me? Why make me ache?”

 

She pauses, then smiles. “Then someone answered.”

 

You grit your teeth. “I hope it was an angel.”

 

She smiles softly. “You could say that.” She longly remembers the night. “It was a large woman, purple skin, black horns, that one would normally associate with the devil, but no, I saw my savior: General Clavina.”

 

“Is that your master?”

 

“She is my mistress, and yes, I serve her.”

 

“So she forcibly turned you?”

 

Astrella laughed and shook her head. “Oh no, you see, she heard my prayers and came to me. She took my hand, and held it, telling me that my urges were natural, that the Order was trying to tell me how to feel, and holding these back would only damage me, but she offered to show me the light.”

 

“And the light?”

 

She smiles. “You call it corruption, but I call it a blessing. She poured her demonic energy into me, and I felt….enlightened.”

 

“Enlightened?” you laugh. “Another lie you tell yourself!”

 

She’s unphased by your comments. “I was saved, for I felt free, and I wanted it. But I didn’t want to be just a succubus, no, even the General saw a plan for me. She made me a dark priest, so I may save people from the Order, and show them the light, that love and pleasure can thrive in this world, it does not have to be suppressed! We can be happy!”

 

“People can be happy without demons!”

 

“My sisters would disagree.”

 

You feel uneasy. “What do you mean?”

 

She smiles. “The people I liberated first….was my nunnery.”

 

“You….you…” you are in shock. “You…corrupted something so pure.”

 

“I saved them, they were too afraid to admit it!”

 

You look at her in horror. “Have you gone to other towns?”

 

She coughs slightly and looks away from you.

 

“I’ll take that as a yes,” you growl. “So you lurred people toward the Demon Lord?”

 

“Not just people….”

 

Your body goes tense. “What?”

 

Astrella’s grin looks like it fades, and she sounds more ashamed. “I…I brought towns under the Demon Lord’s control.”

 

“So you are nothing more than an infiltrator.”

 

“I was showing them something better, love.”

 

“No, you don’t show them love, you show them lust.”

 

Astrella looks offended. “The villages I go to are happier than they’ve ever been!”

 

“Sure they are happy, but are they?”

 

“What do you mean?”

 

You huff. “The problem with your Demon Lord ideologies is they are based not on lust, but love. Your monsters require mens essence, their spirit energy…or in layman’s terms…” you shudder. “Semen.”

 

“Well, it’s what gives us energy…”

 

“You see man as nothing more than a fuel source, you force yourself upon them, ravaging them!”

 

“And they become husbands!”

 

You shake your head. “Are they happy?”

 

“Of course! We spread love!”

 

“Lust, not love. Your kind grabs the first man they lay their eyes on, I doubt the men even know the creature’s name until the deed is done!”

 

Astrella is shocked by him. But she smiles sensually. “The problem is, you’ve been cooped up for so long..” she runs her hand up your thigh. “When was the last time you saw a woman?”

 

You wriggle nervously. “In my church.”

 

She giggles. “No, I mean, really seen a woman…” she seductively takes off her veil, revealing her lucious, pretty silver hair. “In all her glory.”

“What are you doing?”  you ask.

 

She leans forward, inches from your face. “I want to show you what you’ve been missing.”

 

You maintain a firm face. “So you are going to rape me?”

 

She smiles. “That’s an ugly word, think of this as….showing you the light.”

 

“Typical!” you huff. “You mamano think you are enlightened, but you are enslaved to your lust! That’s all!”

 

“I lust for you!” she growls. “Why are you so boneheaded about this?”

 

You sniffle. “Do you realize what you said?”

 

“What?” she’s frustrated by your stubbornness.

 

“You said lust….not love…” you look away. “You don’t love me….I was just another priest in your way….to satisfy your lust.”

 

Astrella feels like an arrow just went through her chest. She backs off. “What? But…I do love you.”

 

“Do you?” you ask.

 

She recoils her hand away from you, looking hurt.

 

“I do love him…I want to mate with him…that’s love right?” she thinks.

 

“That’s the problem with you mamano, you think love is sex, that’s all…” you sniffle and look away. “You don’t even think about what else it means.”

 

“What does he mean?” Astrella thinks. “What does he mean?”

 

She needs to talk to someone. She gets up, staring blankly.

 

You stare at her, a little shocked, as here’s the embodiment of lust, a mamano in a room with a tied up man, but hasn’t forced herself upon you. She then leaves the room silently, leaving you alone.

 

Your mind wants to think of an escape, but you feel upset too. You thought you met someone, but it turned out to be a mamano, and all she wants is your body, nothing else.

 

All you wanted was someone to love you back. But all she wants is lust, no love. It’s a betrayal that hurts far more than any knife to the back.

 

“I bet it doesn’t even phase her,” you think.

 

******

 

Astrella slumps into her bed, her mind is clouded with anxiety. She knows she loves him, but at the same time, what if he’s right? What if the feelings she has are nothing but lust. And, if she felt nothing but lust, what about all those towns she “saved”.

 

She remembers how the mamano flooded the town, taking the men left and right. Violating them. But they were happy afterwards! But were those feelings present before? No….just fear.

 

She brings up her magic mirrors and signals General Clavina. Astrella holds her breath, hoping the General will answer.

 

Finally after what feels like forever, General Clavina appears in the mirror. “Astrella? Is everything ok?”

 

“No,” Astrella whimpers. “I was discovered.”

 

“By who?!!” General Clavina gasps.

 

“The priest.”

 

General Clavina is in an expected panic. “Oh dear, oh dear! Where is he?”

 

“Tied to a bed.”

 

“Does anyone else know?”

 

“No, just him.”

 

General Clavina then looks relieved. “Excellent, then we are still good.” she smiles mischievously at Astrella. “So, the priest is tied to the bed?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“What a precarious position for the priest, so vulnerable.” General Clavina winks at her spy. “So, how was it?”

 

“What?”

 

“Come on, a man tied to a bed, perfect for sex.”

 

“We didn’t have it.”

 

General Clavina is stunned, but laughs. “Ah, waiting for the invasion, well it should be happening soon, it is far better to violate in a group, the music of love making throughout a town creates a sense of harmony.”

Astrella frowns, unsure of any truth behind that phrase.

 

General Clavina notices. “Is something troubling you?”

 

“Yes…it’s just…..” she sighs weakly. “I joined the cause, to spread the word of the Demon Lord, show people the light.”

 

“And you have done a fantastic job.”

 

“But…have I been spreading love?”

 

General Clavina laughs. “What are you talking about?”

 

“As you know…we are technically succubus’s, and mamano … .crave human men’s essence, and when we bring a village under control, the single men are…seized.”

 

“As they should be.”

 

“But…do the mamano who choose them, love them?”

 

“What are you talking about? If they fancy a man, he is their wife, simple as that.”

 

“But is that love, or lust?”

 

General Clavina is confused by her spy’s words. “We lust for men, we lust to give them the treatment they deserve, to serve under mamano.”

 

“But where’s the love?” Astrella asks. “Do the mamano love the men?”

“Of course they do!”

 

“Then why do they violate them first? Isn’t sex supposed to be sacred?”

 

General Clavina’s mouth curls in disgust. “That sounds like Order talk.”

 

“But..think about it, sex is powerful, the urges, the emotions, and….shouldn’t we as mamano…go slow?”

 

“Go…slow?” General Clavina is horrified. “Do you want my army to try and…date the men?”

 

“Well…it wouldn’t hurt.”

 

“I don’t know if you saw, but we are at war! We don’t have time for this! Our women need men, and we must act quickly! My troops need husbands, and the men will get wives whether they like it or not! I don’t care if they have to have a harem!”

 

“But consider it! What if we aren’t being true to the message? What if it’s lust? Not love?”

 

General Clavina barks. “Enough with your blasphemy! We will discuss this when the attack comes at the end of the week”

“The end of the week?!?!”

 

“Yes! My scouts reported Order movements near my position, I have to act fast with this invasion, but now I see another reason to act,” she growls. “Do no…and I repeat…do not, interfere!”

 

“But General….”

 

“Enough! We will strike at dawn!”

 

The mirror goes black. Astrella’s heart races as panic sets in. “Oh no…oh no….what do I do…what do I do?”

 

****

While Astrella wracked through her feelings, you were stewing in the bed, you had to get out of here! Since she’s working for the Demon Lord that means an invasion is imminent! The village will be overwhelmed with mamano! The women would be monsterized! The single men would be violated! And the families! What would happen?

 

You struggle against the restraints, but calm down. This struggle will waste energy. You can’t waste anything, you have to focus. She may have you tied to the bed, but you still have your brain.

 

The door is then thrown open. Astrella stands at the door in a panic. “They are coming!”

 

“Your friends?” you tort.

 

“This isn’t the time to joke! General Clavina is coming!”

 

That name makes the hair on your neck stand up. “She’s coming here? With an army?”

 

“Yes!”

 

“You led them here!”

 

“I know I did!”

 

“Free me, now!”

 

“I…I can’t…” she looks down. “I…I can try to fix this…”

 

“What are you going to do?

 

“I can talk to her, maybe we can take over…but this can be more controlled…less chaotic.”

 

“Oh sure, your ravenous lustful monsters will totally listen to reason,” you say sarcastically as you roll your eyes.

 

One thing you notice about Astrella is she’s really upset by this. You never thought you would see a mamano regret her choices, and now she’s in a full panic.

 

“I can talk to them!” she balks.

 

“You care about these people in the village don’t you?” you ask.

 

“Of course I do!”

 

“Then, you should let me go and warn the village, we can organize a defense!”

 

She bites her lip. “But…I don’t want anyone to get hurt…”

 

You groan. “You fool! If you don’t do anything, more people will get hurt!”

 

“But I can’t stop the Demon Lord’s work!”

 

“Yes you can!”

 

“I can’t! I swore an oath, I just…I just think I can change her mind…it won’t be like before…”

 

“Astrella, listen…” you decide to play this card. “If you really love this town, you’ll free me, we can all stop her.”

 

Astrella looks at the ground. “I care for the people in this town, I care for everyone, I even care for you…but I can’t betray my General.”

 

Her words, she cares for you? Does she mean that? Wait…at the same time you remember how she had concealed the truth from you. That’s her job, an infiltrator. “What are you going to do then?”

“I’ll….I’ll think of something,” she looks at you. “Maybe you could help?”

 

“Sure, here’s my idea, let me go, give me my warhammer, and I’ll crush the general’s skull,” you say.

 

“…..Is there a better option?”

 

You laugh. “By the Chief God you are so naive, do you actually think you can get those creatures to be reasonable?”

 

“I’ll have you know that mamano are capable of intelligence!”

 

“That I know, you can cunningly slip your way into villages and lie,” you tort with venom in your voice.

 

She stiffens. “Are you still mad at that?”

 

“You lied to me,” you still feel hurt by her actions. You actually thought you felt something, and then you turned out to be nothing more than a pawn in her ploy.

 

“Well how would you have reacted if I had just told you?”

 

“Then I wouldn’t have gotten close to you,” you bitterly say.

 

Astrella feels a little sting from that. Did she really hurt you that bad? “Listen, I’m…I’m sorry.”

 

You look away, still hurt. Why did she have to get so close to you when it was all for an invasion of your village.

 

Astrella looks at you and says. “The invasion will happen tomorrow.”

 

“Are you going to alert the townspeople?”

 

She’s silent as she leaves. That gives you your answer. And now you got until probably dawn until the attack. You look at your restraints, she’s tied them tightly….but you aren’t gagged anymore.

 

This will make escape much easier.

 

*****

Isabel was excited. Her father had left to gather wood and left her all alone in the house. He would be returning soon, but he had given her permission to bake!! She never got to do this alone. She wants to surprise him with another batch of raspberry tarts, but desires to give him another item: sweet rolls.

 

She had seen them when she and her father went to the city, and they tasted so good. She really wanted to impress her father with this.

 

Isabel gathered the necessary items, milk, eggs, flour, butter, but now she needed the sugar. “Oh curses, where did that go?”

 

She looked in the cupboards, she could have sworn they put it back where it belonged. She scratched her head, unsure where it was hiding. She looked up at the top shelf. She had remembered. Father had bought a new bag of sugar to help with the massive after church get together. He puts the extra ingredients on top, and he must have forgotten to take it down since they didn’t use it.

 

“No problem,” she thinks. “I can get it!”

 

Normally, her father is supposed to help her get things from the high shelf, but he’s not here right now. She grabs a chair and scooches it over to the shelf. She stood on the chair and reached for it, it was just out of reach for her. She stands on her tippy toes, the chair creaked as she strained toward the sugar.

 

While she reaches for the sugar, someone observes her through the windows. A tall, well built hellhound with charcoal black skin, and fur was eyeing the small girl. She’s a skirmisher for General Clavina’s Army. Her job is to secure the forest, and keep a look out for any patrols, maybe slap them around. She is a capable warrior. However, she did not expect to find a little cottage on the outskirts of the village, and a little girl all alone. Naturally her curiosity got to her and she observed the little girl. She peered through the window first, but then noticed that the door was open, she moved silently to there. She decided it might be a good idea to keep an eye on the girl, besides she was bored and needed something to do.  She watched as the little girl reached for the sugar, but her eye was on the chair, it kept scooting away as she stood on her tippy toes. Fear gripped her heart, her anxiety took over as she stood on the edge of the chair.

 

For Isabel, she’s so close to getting the edge, and the sugar. Unfortunately, her mind is so focused on the sweet goods, she forgets about her own safety.

 

The chair slips out from underneath her, Isabel squeals as she finds herself getting closer to the edge of the counter. Suddenly something grabs her by the back of her dress and yoinks her up.

 

“Am I flying?” Isabel thinks. She turns around, expecting to see her father, when she sees a large woman with triangle tipped ears, black fur and skin, who’s tall enough to reach the shelf. Isabel knows this must be one of the monsters she’s heard about. However, she feels no fear. The monster stares at her, but doesn’t growl, bark, or threaten her, in fact, she’s just holding up.

 

“Hi,” Isabel finally says.

 

“Hello, little pup,” the mamano replies.

 

“Can you help me get the sugar down from the shelf?”

 

“Of course,” the hound puts her down and takes the sugar off the shelf. She sets it on the table, next to her other ingredients.

 

“Thanks!” Isabel chirps. “Who are you?”

 

“My name is Barghest, and yours?”

 

“Isabel!” she says with a touch of innocence.

 

It confuses Barghest why this child isn’t afraid of her, but she’s not complaining. “Little Isabel, where is your family?”

 

“My dads gathering wood, and I’m going to do some baking. Do you like baking?”

 

That is something that Barghest enjoys greatly. Despite being a hellhound, she’s fascinated by cooking. Of course they didn’t let her be the cook in the army,  putting her on the frontlines instead. It’s frustrating!!  Barghest smiles. “I love cooking, and baking.”

 

“You want to help me make some raspberry tarts and sweet rolls for my daddy?”

 

“Of course!”

 

******

Robert felt tired already. His firewood collecting took a lot longer than usual. He found a lot of dead branches and logs, but finding a tree was hard. He had to find one that was close to dying, those were the best. He found one, and it should have been easy … .that was until he found out there was a hornets nest in there. He found himself diving into a creek to avoid getting stung by a swarm of angry hornets. After that, all he wanted to do was go home, and enjoy the pastries his daughter was probably done with, then take a nice long nap. The firewood over his shoulder felt like stones, then again you too would feel exhausted if you had to outrun wasps.

 

He got closer to his cottage, and he could already smell the fruity scent that is the raspberry tarts. But he smelled something else, a hint of cinnamon whafted under his nose, he could also smell the sweet scent of cooked sugar.

 

“Are those sweet rolls?” he thinks. He got closer to his home, his stomach rumbling and eager for sweet treats. He heard his daughters giggles, but stopped cold when he heard another voice, more husky and feminine.

“Now spread it evenly,” the husky voice says. “We don’t want to run out of frosting.”

 

“But I want to make them extra creamy,” pouts Isabel.

 

Robert clutches his axe tightly to his chest. He sets the wood down silently. He peers around the corner, he gasps in horror.

 

There towering over his daughter, is a hellhound!!! Wearing leather armor with a nasty looking sword at her side.

 

Adrenaline kicks in, he bursts into the room, axe at the ready. “Get away from my daughter!”

 

Isabel looks over at her dad, unaware of the danger. “Daddy! You are home!”

 

“Get away from her!”

 

Isabel pouts,. “But we aren’t done making sweet rolls.”

 

“Sweet…rolls…” he looks down and sees the hellhound with a small butter knife spreading creamy frosting on sweet rolls.

 

The hellhound doesn’t even react to his aggression. “We are almost finished, your daughter didn’t need too much help, except with frosting distribution.”

 

“But daddy deserves an extra creamy one,” she whines.

 

“If we have any extra we can do that,” the hellhound says, she then looks at Rober. “Oh where are my manners, I’m Barghest.”

 

“Robert…” Robert can’t believe it, a mamano in his house … .baking with his daughter.

 

“She’s amazing daddy!” Isabel spreads the frosting onto the rolls eagerly. “She brought cinnamon for the rolls, and it makes them smell amazing!”

 

“You..you have…spices?” Robert asks the hellhound.

 

“Yes, why wouldn’t I?” Barghest cocks her head with confusion.

 

“I…I….” Robert sits down in a chair.

 

“Don’t worry, we made enough for you and your wife,” Barghest says.

 

Isabel looks down. “I don’t have a mommy.”

 

Barghest pats her on the back. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know.”

 

“A shame, a handsome man like him, with no wife for a lovely daughter..” she thinks in her mind. Then the gears in her mind slowly start cranking. “Wait….single…dad?”

 

She looks at Robert and winks. Robert blushes and looks down.

 

“Can we make more today?” asks Isabel.

 

“I have some recipes for meat…have you ever made meat pies?” asks Baghest.

 

“No.”

 

“Then we start today,” she looks at Robert. “And your father can join us, if he’s not too tired.”

 

“I…I might nap,” Robert says.

 

“Perfect, then you just rest, and dinner will be ready soon, honey,” Baghest smiles.

 

“Huh…honey?” Robert stammers. Did he just get a wife? And what would Father think of this?

 

*****

You gnaw at the binds on your wrist, you’ve been making progress throughout the knight, the bedsheets are tough, but your will is stronger. You don’t need to gnaw through both, just one. Then you can free yourself. Then you can confront that heartbreaker and break her heart!

 

*****

 

General Clavina sits in her tent, checking over the maps and logistics. Her army is just in striking distance of the village. Right now the army needs to rest, and get ready. The village doesn’t have much defense, it’ll be an easy conquest.

 

Her tent flaps burst open as her salamander lieutenant charged in. “General Clavina!”

 

General Clavina looks up. “What is it?”

 

“Barghest hasn’t reported in for two days.”

 

“Two days??!? And you are telling me this now?”

 

“You know how hellhounds are! They get side tracked!”

 

General Clavina stands up. “Or captured.”

 

“What? Impossible! A mere village couldn’t capture a hellhound!”

 

“Not unless they have been reinforced!” she marches out of her tent, grumbling to herself. “That traitorous wench! I should have acted sooner!”

 

“What do we do now?”

 

“We strike now!”

 

“But, ma’am….”

 

“I said now!”

 

It might be noon, but they have to strike now or else! Even if they are prepared, they are expecting them at dawn, the next day, not noon.

 

General Clavina knows failure is not an option, and she will have to have a talk with Astrella for her treachery.

 

******

“Think, think, think!” Astrella thought. “Maybe I could warn the villagers, but that would lead to mamano and villagers getting hurt! Maybe I could convince them to move! No, they would get too suspicious!”

 

Her head hurt from all the thinking. She was glad Thomas had finished his cabinet work, he had been very curious about Father, but luckily she told him he had a bad stomach ache. A small lie, but effective. It kept Thomas out of the room, and focused on his work. But now she had to think, they would be here tomorrow at dawn!

 

“Maybe I should just free Father,” she thinks. She felt guilty though. Father had put his trust in her and she betrayed it. But, she does care about him. Yes, some of those feelings are sexual, why wouldn’t they be? She is basically a succubus. But she loves how caring he is, how he talked with her, helped her feel better. “Wait…this is love right?”

 

Of course Astrella had imagined fucking him, and was eager to hop on his dick when the opportunity presented itself. But at the same time, she loved just being around him, walking through the village, talking to people, and of course, his comfort. Underneath that rough exterior was a caring man, who deserved love.

 

“Wait…I could have fucked him any day, he was tied up…but I didn’t,” she smiles. “I controlled myself…not out of necessity for the mission, but love!”

 

She didn’t want to force herself upon him because she wanted it to be special. She wanted for him to be willing, and she didn’t care how long it took. Because she loves him. She wants him to be happy!

 

“I must free him!” she thinks lovingly. She had to tell him how she felt, and hope that he still has feelings for her.

 

She then hears a rumbling outside, it sounded like horse hooves. “Huh, do the villagers have horses?”

 

“MY GOD! THEY ARE HERE!” she hears a villager scream.

 

“They…oh no!”

 

Astrella froze as she heard people screaming and the sound of metal armor clattering with every march.

 

“They are early!!” she panicked. She rushes down to the priest’s room. She has to free him! She threw open the door, but what she saw made her skin run cold.

 

The bindings are loose, with one chewed off. And now the bed was empty. She would have much preferred if he was sitting there waiting for her, ready to ambush her. But what made her skin crawl with fear.

 

The warhammer…is missing.

 

“HE’S LOOSE!!”

 

*****

General Clavina grins with triumph. This invasion was easier than expected. The villagers didn’t even have time to react. They didn’t have an organized defense, no soldiers, they didn’t even dig any earthworks. Did they not take advantage of their prisoner?

 

“Of course not, they are humans,” she chuckles. “Feeble humans aren’t meant for fighting.”

 

A couple amazons decked out in full armor are leading away some human families.

 

“Any single men among them?” General Clavina calls.

 

“Nope, all together,” one amazon sighs.

 

The children whimper and cling to their mothers while their fathers try to stand between them and the mamanno.

 

“Keep searching!” General Clavina barks. “I want all humans rounded up, leave no door unkicked, no basement searched, and no wall busted!”

 

The amazon smiles wickedly. “With pleasure, General.”

 

“GENERAL CLAVINA!” Astrella screams as she rushes through the street.

 

General Clavina smiled. “Ah, the traitor, seize her!”

 

The amazons flanked Astrella and seized her arms.

 

“What is the meaning of this?” Astrella was bewildered.

 

“You should know, traitor!” General Clavina barked.

 

“Traitor? What are you talking about?” Astrella panics

 

“You sang like a songbird, and got one of my scouts captured!” General Clavina barks.

 

“What are you talking about?” Astrella didn’t even know of a scout.

 

“Barghest hasn’t reported in,” General Clavina narrows her eyes. “And I wonder why?”

 

“You sent Barghest?!!?” Astrella knew of her. She’s a hellhound! “Wait…she hasn’t reported in?”

 

“No, I know you had something to do with this…” General Clavina narrows her eyes. “And that priest!”

 

“Wait, I didn’t even know you sent a scout.”

 

General Clavina now is confused. “Wait…did you not inform the town?”

 

“No!”

 

“But…hold on…” General Clavina scratches her head. Now that she had some time to think, the village didn’t put up much resistance. Even if they captured her scout, they should have done something, that was a couple days ago. “So…you didn’t betray me?”

 

“Well, I wanted to talk to you about conquering this village,” Astrella says

 

“Oh no,” General Clavina groans.

 

“It’s just, maybe we should take things slow with the captured single men,” Astrella says. “Because, we are trying to spread the message of love.”

 

“We can discuss this after we are done with the village,” General Clavina looks around. “Where is the priest?”

 

Astrella goes cold. “You haven’t seen him yet?”

 

“I thought you said he was tied up!”

 

“He was!”

 

“Well where is he?!?!?”

 

*****

You duck and dive behind the cottages as the mamano make their way through the streets, clutching your warhammer tightly. Now that you are free, you need to rally the people .There’s a problem though: First, you are outnumbered; second, the villagers aren’t skilled fighters. But your training with the Order has given you the greatest gift of all: Strategy.

 

You know how mamano operate. They only work well with the proper leadership. You remember a veteran talking about orcs. They are strong, yes, but disorganized. While fighting an orc is no small task, a disorganized group of orcs is more manageable, you can trick them, lure them into a trap, and dispatch them. If they have a high orc with them, then it’s a problem because the high orc can keep them from falling for any tricks and turn even the dumbest of orcs into an organized fighting force.

 

However, take out the high orc, they revert back to their stupidity.

 

You smile as you peek through the cottage, you know who to take out, because Astrella told you who was leading this army.

 

General Clavina.

 

Take the general out, and the army will act like a chicken with its head cut off.

 

Disorganized, and ripe for a counter attack.

 

You want to take out the rest of the army, but you have to be smart. If you start engaging with the rest of the army, it’ll only slow you down and give the general time to organize a defense.

 

Strike now, and she won’t expect it.

 

You avoid a patrol of ogres and lizard women, who are still searching for humans. You scurry across the street, avoiding their scouring eyes. You slide into a house, you now have to figure out where the general is.

 

“Father, is that you?” a voice whispers.

 

Your eyes dart towards the sound, and you see Thomas hiding behind a table.

 

“Yes, it’s me,” you say.

 

He smiles, but it fades. “Wait….are you the real father?”

 

You don’t blame him, sometimes the mamano armies will use doppelgangers to lure people out of hiding places. “I am real, my son.”

 

“Well…tell me something only the real Father would know!”

 

You sigh. “I hired you to do work around the church because you are a drunk.”

 

Thomas bites his lips. “Mmmmmm, well…..everyone knows that…..”

 

“Oh by the Chief God, it’s me, and I know before I hired you, you would get piss drunk behind the tavern and I would always find you in a pool of vomit and your own urine!”

 

Thomas chuckles. “Only the real Father would be that mean.”

 

“But it’s true!”

 

“Yep,” he shakes your hand. “Good to see you Father, where have you been?”

 

“Tied up in my room.”

 

“What? When?”

 

“For the past few days.”

 

“Oh…” he stares at you in horror. “But…Astrella…wait….” he snaps his fingers. “That explains!”

 

“What?”

 

“I saw her running towards what I think is the general of the mamano army! I think she’s a spy!”

 

“She’s more than just a spy, she’s a mamano.”

 

Thomas’s jaw drops. “What?”

 

“She’s a dark priest,” you growl. “She fooled us all.”

 

“That lying bitch!” he growls. “Wait…so she had you tied up?”

 

“Yes,” you grit through your teeth. While you feel hurt by Astrella’s betrayal, you don’t like it when he calls her a bitch. It’s a little insulting to her. But then again, she did betray you, but at the same time, you care for her. The feelings are very confusing.

 

“Did she…” he looks anxious asking the question.  “You know…lay with you?”

 

“Of course not!”

 

“Well..she had you tied up, and knowing mamano…”

 

“She didn’t….she wanted to but….I got her to stop.”

 

“Really? Why?”

 

You groan. “That’s not important, you said you saw Astrella running toward the general?”

 

“Yes. she didn’t look like a dark priest though.”

 

“She’s got some sort of cloaking spell on her, allowing her to blend into the human populace.”

 

“Ah…clever girl.”

 

“Yes … .clever,” you can’t help but think about her, even without the disguise she looked pretty. But you try to shake those feelings off and focus on the job at hand. “Listen, I have a plan and I need your help.”

 

“I would be honored to help, Father.”

 

“I need you to distract Astrella and the general.”

 

“How?”

 

“Run out there toward them.”

 

“What?” Thomas balks. “But then they’ll capture me!”

 

“Listen, all eyes will be on you, and then I’ll be able to strike down the general, and when I do that, they’ll falter.”

 

“But…but…what if they capture me and…..” he gulps. “What if they …force marriage me?”

 

“If I take out the general, they’ll panic and in that time I promise I will liberate you from their clutches.”

 

“Ok…..you promise?”

 

“I promise.”

 

“So…what do I do?”

 

******

“General, please, we must talk!” Astrella begs.

 

“We can talk after the men have been properly sorted,” General Clavina retorts.

 

“But that’s the problem! We are treating the men like cattle.”

 

General Clavina looks at Astrella with disgust. “Bite your tongue, they will know happiness later tonight.”

 

“But, shouldn’t the men decide who they want? And shouldn’t the woman look for more in a man rather than just the fact he’s a man?”

 

General Clavina’s lip curls. “What has that Priest done to your mind?”

 

Before Astrella can open, she hears a familiar voice. “ASTRELLA! ASTRELLA!”

 

Astrella and General Clavina look down the street to see a man running towards them. Astrella recognizes him as Thomas.

 

“Thomas!” Astrella yells.

 

“Quickly! Get away from her!” he yells.

 

“Ah, another man, is he single?” General Clavina asks.

 

“Run away!” Astrella screams. She can’t let him fall into their hands. “I’m fine!”

 

“Hurry!” Thomas yells, waving his arms.

 

General Clavina smiles wickedly. “I’ll take that as a yes.”

 

He continues to run towards them, now her guards, lizardmen, amazons, ogres start to converge toward him. He starts to backpedal away from them.

 

“What is he doing?” Astrella thinks, “Why is he doing this?”

 

All are distracted, just as you anticipated. You had climbed steadily up a cottage, perching yourself right above the general. You grip your warhammer tightly, you cannot have this getting loose at all.

 

You leap off the top, hammer ready to bring down on the general’s head.

 

Astrella sees a shadow and looks up. Horror crosses her face. “GENERAL!”

 

General Clavina looks up just in time to see the warhammer slam into her head. Thankfully she’s wearing a sturdy helmet. It sounds like a bell ringing. She stumbles back, eyes crossed and legs weak like jelly.

 

You raise your hammer to deliver another serious blow.

 

Astrella leaps in front of her. “Don’t!”

 

You hesitate. There she is, Astrella. You knew her as Sister Astrella for so long. Yet she still conceals herself. Your heart aches looking at her. “Get out of my way!”

 

“Anon, listen, I’m trying to help.”

 

“Get out of my way.”

 

“Anon….I’m sorry.”

 

You stiffen. “You are doing this now?”

 

“Please, just put down the hammer, with you here we can talk to her.”

 

“Then show your true self,” you growl.

 

“What do you mean?”

 

“You didn’t just lie to me…but the people here!” you bellow. “The people you claim to care about, who you bonded with!”

 

Astrella stiffens. Her eyes scan the area, some human prisoners are peering from behind corners, some hidden humans are curious to see what you are talking about. She’s afraid, but she knows a sacrifice must be made. She does care for them, she needs to show them her real self. Astrella removes the ring. Her tail is now exposed, her ears pointy. While her skin color remains, it’s more obvious that she’s not human.

“Holy….” Thomas gawks. “You were right, Father!”

 

Astrella looks down at the ground, ashamed. She can feel the eyes of the village on her, shocked expressions, horrified expressions, but the worst, expressions of betrayal. She looks like she’s close to tears.

 

You grit your teeth, trying not to let her sadness affect you. “Step aside.”

 

“No,” she whimpers defiantly.

 

“Step aside.”

 

She looks up at you. “Please…you don’t have to do this, I see the error of my ways but I can fix this my way, trust me.”

 

“Trust you…trust you?!!?” you scream. “You lied to me!”

 

“I know…and I’m sorry, but look into my eyes, I am telling the truth.”

 

You look into her eyes, they shine with tears, but also hope, hope that you’ll listen to her.

 

“I..I…” you look past her, keeping an eye on the general, the general is intrigued by this development. “I…I don’t know if I…I trust you.”

 

She stands in front of you, lip quivering. “Then….strike me down.”

 

“What?”

 

“Strike me down, if…if you don’t trust me…then I understand.”

 

“But..” Now your own heart is aching. You look at her. “Just step aside.”

 

“No.”

 

“Step..step….” you don’t want to hurt her. Yes you tried to before, you were hunting, but she seems sincere now, it confuses you. She’s a spy, a manipulator, but..she seems genuine.

 

She inches forward, still staring at you. “Anon, I want you to hear this, I love you. I should have been honest about myself before, but I love you, I really do. You are the most caring man ever, and you helped me.”

 

You stiffen. “You…you mean it?”

 

“Yes,” she gently grabs your hammer and lowers it. “I do.”

“How..how do I know you aren’t lying?”

 

“Well….” She bites her lip. “Let me show you how a human shows it.”

 

She purses her lips and leans in towards you. Your heart races, your body goes rigid. “What..are you…doing?”

 

She gets closer, you can see her beautiful lips getting closer to you.

 

This feeling in your body, it feels like a fire is growing inside of you. But you feel terrified, you kissed her before yes, but that was when you thought there was a human. This is your first kiss with her in her monster form, a dark priest, a mamano. Something you were sworn to destroy. All the villagers are watching, as well as the mamano, all curious to see what’s going to happen next. You shouldn’t, this is wrong. But at the same time, you know this person, you care for them.

 

And this, this seems right.

 

As she gets closer to your lips, you close your eyes and pucker your own. You feel the gentle press of her lips against yours. Your heart stops, you freeze. Everything feels slow, your ears burn so much that you can’t even hear. Everything is muffled. But there is one thing you know.

 

You don’t want to stop.

 

But she pulls away, looking lovingly at you.

 

That was it, a simple kiss. No intense making out, no tongue. A gentle kiss. A kiss that says, “I love you.”

 

“See?” she says. “I do love you.”

 

You feel your eyes water and your heart go heavy. “You…you better not be lying.”

 

She then hugs you. “I swear I’m not.”

 

“That…that was my first kiss….”

 

“I wouldn’t do that, I love you anon.”

 

You hug her back, feeling warm inside. This is what you had been craving, what you wanted. You wanted war, but you also wanted love. Love from someone else. Love to comfort you. An emotional weight has been lifted off your shoulders.

 

Astrella looks back at the general. “Now do you see?”

 

The stubborn general gets up. “You found a partner, I’m happy for you.”

 

“No general, I didn’t just find someone this is love!”

 

General Clavina sighs. She looks around at the village. The people are huddled, her soldiers are more confused than anything else, but still guard them. They have that man who rushed her pinned down. Her spy has never led her astray before. Was she right? Was there a better way than just dividing up the men? Would the bond be stronger if there was more attachment far from just physical.

 

“Oh my!” Robert exclaimed.

 

All eyes shot towards the road entering the village. Robert stood there, his daughter by his side, and Barghest next to him.

 

“What happened here?” he balked.

 

Baghest looked down anxiously. “Ooops….I knew I was forgetting something.”

 

“Barghest?” General Clavina gawked. “You are alive?”

 

You and Astrella are shocked to the core. You look at Astrella. “You sent a hellhound toward my village?!?!”

 

“What? General Clavina did! And I had no idea she sent one!” Astrella balks.

 

You look at Robert nervously. You have heard of hellhounds, fierce warriors, known for violating men every day and night when they get the chance. A man does not walk away unscathed, for they bear the marks of bites, scratches, and bruises, especially on the pelvis area. Your anxiety turns to curiosity, Robert looks well rested, and unharmed. In fact, he’s walking normally.

 

The hellhound waves. “General Clavina…I…uh … .was scouting…and…I…uh…..” she puts her paws on Robert and his daughter. “I stumbled across these two in the woods and…..”

 

“We baked!” Isabel chirps.

 

Barghest face burns. If her face could turn red, it would be bright as a tomato.

 

General Clavina rolls her eyes. “Did you get distracted by cooking again?”

 

“We made sweet rolls!” Isabel smiles at the hellhound, unaware of how embarrassed she is.

 

Snickers proliferate the mamano, and even some humans. A hellhound that’s a baker, now that’s funny.

Robert looks at Barghest fearfully. “You are with them?”

 

Barghest panics. “Yes! But…I swear I wasn’t going to…” she trails off when she remembers a little girl is present.

 

“Wait, you didn’t lie with him?” General Clavina asks.

 

Isabel laughs. “Oh she laid with him in bed.”

 

You look at Astrella, she’s covering her mouth to stifle a laugh. Barghest is covering her face while Robert is red in the face. He doesn’t correct his daughter because it is true, he did let Barghest sleep in the same bed, and they just cuddled, well she cuddled. But she didn’t try to ask for sex or anything.

 

Barghest squeaks. “Just laid…nothing else.”

 

General Clavina is speechless. A hellhound does not merely lie with a man in bed and not violate him. She looks at Astrella. “I think…you might be onto something.”

 

She looks at her men. “Ladies! At attention!”

 

The soldiers stand at attention, awaiting orders.

 

“I think we need to rethink this,” she looks at you. “And we’ll discuss things with this man here.”

 

“Me?” you balk.

 

“I take it you are the leader?”

 

You look at the villagers who nod, considering you were the one that tried to take down the demon general that put you above everyone else. “I guess so.”

 

“Then we need to talk.”

 

You feel Astrella’s hand grip yours softly. She smiles at you, “I’ll be with you for this.”

 

*****

You are sitting across the table from General Clavina with Astrella by your side. You are inside of a very nice tent, she has some candles lit. It’s weird, mamano are very professional about this. Then again, she is a demon general, so she has a sense of formality.

 

General Clavina looks at the two of you. “So, you two are a couple now?”

 

“Yes,” you say without hesitation.

 

General Clavina chuckles. “And all it took was one kiss.”

 

You frown, upset with her comment. Astrella shoots her a look.

 

General clavina clears her throat. “Anyways, I’m sure as you know now, it is pointless to resist, there is no help coming, no Order, no nothing.”

 

“Yes,” you reply sternly.

 

“We control your village, and now, you will be a part of our glorious Demon Lord’s mighty empire.”

 

You nod, holding Astrella’s hand tightly.

 

“Under our rule, your village will act as a supply base, and an outpost, so expect many soldiers and subjects of the Demon Lord’s Empire to come through, and it’ll open up the opportunity for you to participate in trade, and aid in our war effort.”

 

Finally, you speak. “And the villagers?”

 

“They will not be harmed.”

 

“The women will not be monsterized?”

 

“I can assure you they won’t, unless they demand it.”

 

That’s good. You look at Astrella, then back at the General. “And the single men?”

 

General Clavina looks at a hopeful Astrella momentarily, then back at you. “They will not be divided up like cattle. Following my most trusted spy’s advice…” she smiles at Astrella. “Instead, they will now attempt to…date the men..and form a romantic bond based on personality, interests, and similar qualities, rather than just physical attachment.”

 

“And what’s your guarantee they won’t go back to their…usual ways,” you say with a hint of venom in the last part.

 

General Clavina gives a stone faced smile. “My army may be full of monsters, but I pride myself in keeping my army organized and disciplined. If any of my girls act out, they will be punished, I can guarantee that.”

 

She sounds serious. You nod. “Ok…..and your army will come to my church on Sundays.”

“Agreed,” General Clavina doesn’t argue, she knows it’s a way for her soldiers to find men, and it will acclimate them to the town. “They will be there.”

 

You nod, you want to ensure that there are no hostilities between everyone. Naturally the villagers will be frightened of these women, no one likes being taken over. But by making them go to church, it might help soothe tensions, and help them be a little more civilized.

 

Astreall smiles at you. “This is a big step.”

 

You nod. It will be.

 

*****

For the past week, tensions were a little on edge in the village. Not to the point where there were brawls in the street, but anyone could see the villagers were on edge. They weren’t used to seeing mamano in their streets, but you had assured the villagers that they wouldn’t be harmed at all. The single men were also on edge, fearful of the stories of mamano dragging men into the woods, behind allies, or bursting into their homes ready to ravage them. However the mamano in the village were acting more polite (though you could tell they were in pain trying to act all sweet and loving, and not rapey) and trying to seduce the men via dating. However, it was a challenge for them, which is why this sermon today was very important.

 

Astrella is by your side as the church was packed full of villagers and mamano. It’s split down the middle, with the villagers on the left side of the church, and the mamano on the other side. The only mamano on the villagers side is Barghest with Robert and Isabel. Eyes were on Barghest because she’s wearing a sunflower dress, something no one would ever imagine a hellhound wearing, let alone finding one that can fit.

 

You look at the crowd, you can still feel the tension in the air. “Good morning, everyone.”

 

“Good morning, Father,” the villagers reply.

 

The mamano mostly grumbled, they didn’t want to be here, but General Clavina had ordered them to come.

 

You clear your throat, remaining calm. “I know we have gone through some changes in the village, we have new neighbors as well. Yes, they are very different from us, yes they have more horns than we do, pointy ears, scales, some have more magic than we do, some touch the ceiling of your house. But, we must understand this, what happened could have gone much worse and akin to what The Order talks about. However, it didn’t, do you know why?”

 

You pause briefly, allowing people to ponder your words for a moment.

 

“It wasn’t because I nearly took the general’s head off, but it was because we finally were able to talk, to listen. It’s difficult, not just for humans, but for mamano as well.”

 

You look toward the group of mamano, many avoid looking into your eyes and are twiddling their thumbs

 

“Because the mamano  general decided to listen to someone who brought out the best in me. My villagers can confirm that I was a bitter priest,” you look toward the villagers and chuckle. “Don’t deny it. But, through Astrella here, I learned to engage with you all, and I must say, I became a better person.

 

You look lovingly at Astrella. “And…..I love her. Granted that was before I knew she was a mamano, but when she revealed herself, I was hurt, I thought, ‘what a fool I was’. I fell for the oldest trick in the book, and doomed my village to enslavement by the mamano. But she didn’t act like a mamano who couldn’t keep their hands of a vulnerable man, I saw something I never thought I would see…emotions. She felt regret, shocking isn’t it? She felt regret because she cares for you all, and doesn’t want you all to just be nothing more than cattle to the mamano, she sees you as people. And yes, while I was hurt, I still cared about her, and I wanted her. And….she showed me that she does care about my feelings, that I’m not just a Priest to trick.”

 

You look at her with care, then rest your eyes on the sermon. “Now of course, two people getting together is good, but … .I will admit, probably not enough to convince a general, but then, as date would have it another miracle happened.”

 

You look over to Barghest, who is seated right next to Robert with Isabel on the end.

 

“The hellhound, one of the more…” Since there’s children here you have to keep this sermon a little cleaner. “Aggressive than most mamano, yet, when she found a cottage containing a human family, did she put them in chains or attack? No! She baked with the family!”

 

Barghest blushes while Isabel beams an infectious smile at her.

 

“And she adjusted well, enthralled by the baking and family, and what does this show?” You pause to look at Astrella again, she smiles at you. “That the relationship between mamano and human doesn’t have to be built on one where the mamano grabs the first single man she sees. But one built on an attraction that goes beyond the surface. Connecting based on emotions, interests, those bonds prove the strongest.”

 

You look over at the villages. “Now for the single men, this doesn’t mean you’ll end up with a mamano wife; you can still find a human one, and you can apply those very same strategies. There’s no need to simply go for the prettiest girl if you have nothing in common with them, go for the girl who you have similar interests in.”

 

You then look toward the mamano. “And for you all, happiness is what you crave?”

 

The mamano nod.

 

“Then choose the path that will bring you the most happiness. While I will admit, I do not worship the Demon Lord, I myself know the Chief God wants happiness, and I know your Demon Lord would want it to.”

 

You look over your parish. It’s gonna be more packed these coming Sundays. But it’s nice to have more people ready to hear the good word.

 

“Now, there will be raspberry tarts along with cream pies…” that garners a handful of snickers from some of the mamano. You ignore that. “For you all to enjoy; please come, eat, and be merry.”

 

Everyone filed out, and as expected, the villagers devoured them gleefully, savoring every bite of the pastries. The mamano were hesitant, not used to a gathering like this. They ate their pastries cautiously, they weren’t as familiar with the human customs of mingling like this. However, slowly, they were warming up to it.

 

One minotaur was eating her raspberry tart when a human male came up to her.

 

“Nice day?” he says.

 

“Yeah,” she smacks her lips. “I could use something to drink.”

 

The human male snickers. “How about….milk?”

 

“Oh yeah that would be…” she trails off and looks at him and laughs. “Oh you clever human.”

 

The two start conversing while You look on.

 

“I think it’s going well,” you say to Astrella.

 

“Yes, so far, no tension.”

 

As you both scan the crowd you notice Thomas talking to a blue oni, they two seem to be on very friendly terms, as she’s laughing at what he’s saying, and he’s smiling.

 

“I don’t know if he should be with that one” you say. Astrella looks at you with disbelief.
“Their penchant for alcohol wouldn’t be good for his motivation,”

 

“That’s a red oni,” Astrella clarifies. “Blue oni don’t drink as heavy as their red counterparts. Really, they don’t drink at all.”

 

“Ah, so he’ll be fine?”

 

“Yes, he’ll be fine,” Astrella smiles at the happy Thomas. “And he’ll be happy.”

 

You look over the crowd. There is still division, with everyone in their own clicks, but you see some mingling, and that’s what’s important. It’ll take time, there’s no doubt about it. But you hope during that time, things will improve.

 

Months Later

 

Life in the village hadn’t changed much in that time. Yes more mamano came through, and there were more soldiers too, not to mention that more merchants came through. The biggest change was there were more human male-mamano couples. But life hadn’t changed much, people still went about their daily lives, but they were happy. Romance had blossomed. You are well aware of it as many mamano-human couples flocked to you to officiate their marriage. When you spoke with them, you could tell this marriage wasn’t simply out of lust, but emotional care and similar interests.

 

You are now sitting in your bed, you had just officiated another marriage, this one to Thomas and his new blue oni wife. You had never seen Thomas so happy, it was delightful. He had changed a lot these past months, and now he was a better man than ever.

 

You hear a knock on your door.

 

“Come in,” you say.

 

Astrella opens the door, wearing her nun outfit. Despite you two being a couple, you still had been sleeping in separate beds. You weren’t mad at eachother, but old habits. You were still nervous about sleeping in the same bed as a girl. Yes, she’s not a nun, so it’s ok, but you were still nervous. And Astrella respected that. You both still kissed yes, like two giddy school children, but that was it.

 

“Hello, Father,” she says with underlying tones of romance.

 

You chuckle. “You know you don’t have to address me as Father anymore, you can call me by my name.”

 

Astrella smiles lewdly. “Well, I like calling you, Father, do you know why?”

 

“Why?” you are confused. Your lack of contact with women means you don’t pick up on a lot of social cues.

 

Astrella slowly walks over to you. You aren’t trying to stare, but her hips seem to cling to the dress, you watch her rear sway back and forth like a metronome, it’s almost hypnotising. You feel a little hot and sweaty. You tug on the collar of your robes.

 

“I like calling you, Father….because…while I worship the Demon Lord, I worship something else, do you know what that is, Father?”

 

You shake your head, your mouth feels dry.

 

She puts her hands on your thigh and whispers sesually, “I worship your cock, Father.”

 

You choke on her lewd words. “What…what do you mean?”

 

She licks the shell of your ear. “Father…we have been together so long, so very long, and….I think it’s time we did more than just kissing….” she puts her lips to your ear. “I want you all, Father, all of you, your sweat, your saliva…your cum.”

 

Your undergarments feel tighter. You look at her with wide eyes. “But…I’m a virgin….”

 

“So am I,” she purrs. You are a little shocked. She explains sensually. “I never laid with any other priest, seduced, yet, but no sex, but you, I want you all, the kindest, most sweetest, man ever.”

 

You gulp. “I….I…..”

 

She presses a finger on your lips. “Shhhhh, let us finally be one…..but….I want you to remove the robes.”

 

“Why?” you ask.

 

“Because….while I really…really…really…” you can see drool\ forming on the corners of her mouth. “Want you….I want it to be your choice.”

 

“And…if I don’t…want to?”

 

She pouts. “I will respect you…but…let me show you what you would be missing.”

 

She removes her robe, they fall to the ground, revealing her pale, nude body. The only form of clothing (if you could call it that) that she has white stockings on that hug her thighs. These silk items make your member throb harder. On top of that, she has nice, long leather gloves that go all the way to her elbow. For some reason, this nude pose makes your libido grow. Though you aren’t sure why, it’s just minimal lingerie.

 

Astrella smiles. She had learned such lustful tricks from the dark elves. Men love a naked body, but a naked body with even a tiny amount of lingerie on, especially on the arms and legs is fuel for a man’s love. She can see your eyes growing hungrier as you stare at her body.

 

Trembling, you slowly remove your robes. You can see her pupils grow bigger and bigger. You fold your robe, treating it with respect, and set it to the side of the bed. She’s panting as she closes in.

 

“Wait,” you say.

 

Astrella tries to hide her frustration, but remains collected. “Yes?”

 

“Can…can we go slow?” you say. “I….I don’t want to rush this.”

 

She smiles and sits next to you on the bed. “Of course…slow…is always better.”

 

You are surprised by her restraint. You can see her legs quivering with anticipation, she wipes away some drool from her mouth.

 

“So…how slow?” she purrs as she reaches up your thigh.

 

You gulp. “Well….maybe…kiss first?”

 

You see disappointment go down her face. Then you clarify. “With tongue.”

 

Her smile brightens up. All the kissing you had previously done had just been lip on lip contact, never had there been a tongue that slid into the mix.

 

“Well, that’s a step,” Astrella purrs.

 

You lick your lips as you lean in, your heart racing. You have heard things about kissing with your tongue. It’s supposed to be far more erotic and have more passion. It’s supposed to bring you closer to your partner.

 

You press your lips against hers, you hold for a second, savoring the moment. You then feel her tongue bump against your teeth, itching to finally introduce herself to your mouth. You still feel nervous. Will this claim you? Will it melt your mind? Will you succumb to all other pleasures?

 

You then remember that you are naked, so none of that matters.

 

You open your mouth and her tongue enters without hesitation. You moan as a new pleasure takes you aback. Her tongue gently rolls over yours, not in the sense of domination, but out of pleasure. You feel her tongue nudge your unmoving one, gently asking you to join. You lift your tongue, and instantly hers intertwines around yours. You let out a sharp, yet muffled whine as she embraces your tongue, your body feels like it’s melting as she tugs gently, yet firmly on your tongue.

 

Astrella pulls you in, and you feel her warm bosoms pressing against your chest. You fall on top of her, not breaking the kiss as she pulls you in tighter. The two of you suck face for a while, savoring her lovely kisses, and her gentle-dom of a tongue.

 

She eases up on her control, allowing you to take the pace for a bit. Due to your inexperience, you aren’t sure what to do, so you try to mimic what she did. You explore her mouth, though you are far more aggressive than her. Your tongue asserts itself into her mouth, which she enjoys. You can hear her squeals of approval as you dominate her mouth. You can’t stop making out with her as the passion has ignited your long dormant feelings of lust.

 

You find your hips humping her thigh, rubbing your meat against her firm thighs.

 

She touches your cock, pulling away from your mouth to whisper. “Now….how about the next step?”

 

“Which…which is what?” you ask.

 

Nibbling your earlobe, she purrs. “Ever suck a tit?”

 

You shake your head no.

 

She smiles and fondles her bountiful breasts. You look down at her perky breasts, nervous. Do you dare suck them?

 

What are you thinking, of course you will!

 

You wrap your lips around her teeth and gently suck. She moans and holds you tightly against her breast, rocking you.

 

“Yes…yes…take these…all for you,” she moans.

 

Her breasts feel warm and soft, you feel comfort as you suck on her tit. Your mind is lulled into relaxation as you suckle her breasts. You feel such comfort with this.

 

You feel her leather slick gloves wrap around your cock and slowly jerk you off. You cry into her breast. Never have you touched yourself before, and feeling her soft, gloved hands stroking you feels amazing. She slides her way down to the bottom of your shaft, teasing the glans. You bite hard on her nipple. She mews in a combination of pleasure and pain.

 

“Yes! Yes! All for you,” she moans. “You deserve this, my master.”

 

“Master?” you think. “This is going pretty fast.”

 

She says she wanted to worship you, but this is….kinda hot.

You pull away, the pleasure making your loins ache for release. The gland tingling is something not felt before, you wish this edging would end.

 

“No, not yet, such seed should not spill anywhere, except in me!” she purrs.

 

Her lustful words cause you to freeze up, she removes her hand quickly, denying you the ability to cum. You whine, but she presses a gloved finger to your lips. “Shhhh, allow me to show my devotion to your cock.”

 

You freeze, you have never heard such enticing words. You sit back and let her do her work. She starts with the tip, giving it small pecks, but sniffing at the same time. “Mmmmm, so ripe.”

 

You don’t understand her words, so you reply nervously. “I mean, I did wash it last night, sorry, I haven’t gotten to it yet today.”

 

“No…it’s perfect…your scent,” she takes a deep breath, sucking in the air like she’s inhaling incense. “You musk….it smells holy….bitter…..so…perfect….the scent of the almighty Father!”

 

You feel yourself blushing. “Well…thank you?”

 

You aren’t sure how to take compliments like that.

 

She kisses your tip more, her tongue wrapping around it like she’s making out with it. “So delicious!”

 

She sloppily kisses it down the length, you grip the sheets. You have heard of blowjobs before, but you never thought you would get one. But then again, this is a dark priest, which is like a succubus.

 

She sees pre-cum leaking from the tip, like a frog snatching a fly, her tongue darts out, catching it. You gasp in surprise. “By the Chief God!”

 

She smacks her lip. “The appetizer…need…” she looks at your dick drunkenly. “MORE!”

 

This time she inhales your cock, slurping and gagging on the tip alone. You groan and throw your head back. “MY GOODNESS!””

 

Her head bobs up and down on your meat, gagging and slurping lewdly. Astrella is going to town on your cock.

 

“So tasty! *gack* more!” she moans. She’s not even hesitating as she makes her way down to the base. “Mmmmm, mmmm *gack* amazing cock!”

 

You know that she’s a mamano, but it feels weird hearing this kind of lewd talk coming from her mouth. She was a nun in disguise, so you thought she would have some restraint. But then you remember again that she’s a mamano.

 

The way she is giving you a blowjob, you would think she would have experience.

 

“You…know how to…pleasure a man well.”

 

“This is my first time,” she drools as she licks up the side of your meat. “And it is wonderful!”

 

Astrella goes down to your balls, inhaling the left side, enjoying the feel in her mouth. You are taken aback, your balls were already itching for release, and a little testicle sucking was enough to make a small amount of jizz shoot out. It strikes Astrella in the face, splattering on her forehead.

 

“Sorry!” you say.

 

She wipes her forehead and slurps up the semen from her fingers. Your cock still stands hard, but after seeing that, it feels like it hardened further.

 

“I should have caught it,” she drools.

 

“What?” you ask.

 

“Your glorious seed…stained my forehead.”

 

“Sorry about that,” you say sheepishly.

 

“No….it is fine…..I just…must catch it…and it shows….” she looks up at you with eyes that scream lust. They say eyes are the window to the soul, well in this soul you see hardcore lust, devotion, and dedication to your cock alone.  “I MUST DO BETTER!”

 

She inhales your cock before you can even tell her it’s ok. This time she deepthroats it all the way down to the shaft. Her warm mouth hole feels like she could suck the skin off your cock. You let out a guttural moan as your mind tries to comprehend the immense pleasure. It’s difficult, as your virgin cock isn’t used to this type of pleasure. She cups your balls, massaging them gently, but also trying to nurse the semen out. She is determined, using those leathery gloves to wipe any liquid that came from her, or you, to help them glide across your balls with such ease and add to the stimulation of them.

 

“Astrella! Astrella!!” you groan. “You..you are too fast!”

 

But Astrella is drunk off your cock, your musk acts like an intoxicating aroma of pleasure, her cunt aches with joy, you notice a puddle forming on the ground near her legs.

“What? Is that from me?” you think

 

Then you see fluids going down her leg.

 

“Is that sweat?” you think. “Should I ask?”

 

However, her lewd and powerful sucking prevents your brain from sending those signals. You let her blow you harder and harder before you finally unleash your seed down her throat.

 

You haven’t come before, at least when you weren’t awake. You know about those wet dreams, and there were times where your sheets were stained due to lustful thoughts, except you couldn’t remember your dreams. But this is the first time you came while awake. And it feels amazing.

 

A torrent of your holy milk blasts down her throat. She has coaxed your semen out to where it feels like she gently squished out all the juice you had, like crushing an orange, except less painful, and more erotic.

 

She drinks up your cock milk, humming and moaning as her throat is coated in your holy milk. She continues massaging your balls, making sure you aren’t holding out.

 

You flop on the bed, panting, covered in sweat. She continues to suck on your deflating cock. You groan, trying to relax against your bed.

 

“Good Lord….I’m spent!” you are shocked. But you haven’t gotten a blowjob until now, and it was a damn good one.

 

Her lewd slurping continues for a while. Your cock aches with pleasure, but burns with sensitivity.

 

“Ah-ah-Astrella,” you whine. “Need…just…a little…rest.”

 

You hear her pout, but she removes her mouth from your cock with a pop. “Of course…go get some water.”

 

You stand up, your legs wobbly. They fell asleep a little due to sitting and not moving. You go to a pitcher and pour yourself a glass of water. You suck down the cool drink to refresh yourself. You needed it. Your body is hot and sweaty and a little water will go a long way.

 

Astrella hungrily looks at you, the lust of the dark priest is strong. She sees you as her Lord, her master now, and she seeks to please you. Her eyes fall to your ass. She licks her lips like a wolf and crawls toward you silently.

 

Unfortunately for you, a dark priest has a far greater libido. You are trying to play catch up with her, but you have a long way to go. Now, in a dark priests case, they have a succubus tail that they can use to inject you with some aphrodisiacs, and you’ll be ready to fuck.

 

But, she also learned some tips from dark elves, who know how to arouse a man without using aphrodisiacs.

 

And it’s far more intrusive, just the way they like it.

 

You feel her cup your butcheeks. You chuckle. “Admiring them? They are very-GOOD LORD!!!”

 

Astrella jams her tongue right into your pucker with such aggression it’s like she’s licking the frosting out of a bowl. Your mind is not used to this type of foreign pleasure, you are hunched over the table, gritting your teeth. She starts stroking your now slowly erect cock.

 

“So tasty,” she purrs into your ass.

 

“Good…good…good God!” you gasp. This type of pleasure is weird, yet feels good at the same time.

 

“This *slurp* is what a true devotee does!” Astrella monas. “Worshipping every part of you *slurp*!”

 

Your cock is now hard, and her stroking only makes it ache more. She kisses your ballsack, worshipping the very thing that holds the sacred holy milk.

 

“So delicious,” she hums as she sucks on your testicle.

 

The stroking, sucking, and occasionally asslicking make you tremble. This may be pleasure, but this is weird pleasure.

 

She gives your cock a few more long, deep strokes, then halts when she sees it’s at full mast.

 

“Yes,” she purrs. “More.”

 

She lies on the bed, spreading her legs for you. You turn to her with a face flushed red from embarrassment.

 

“Something wrong, Father?” she purrs.

 

“That…that thing you did…it felt weird,” you stammer.

 

“Oh?” she feigns surprise.

 

“Yes, now…I…I’m all for fun…and I know you mamano can be perverterted…but that’s…that’s a little too weird for my tastes!”

 

“Oh…then…” she rubs her pussy lips. “You should punish me.”

 

You clear your throat. “Now, hold on, I don’t think we need to go that far.”

 

“Yes…punish me….” drool oozes out of her mouth as her eyes fall to your cock. “Show me my place, Father.”

 

You look at her dripping vagina, it has just a little bit of hair on top, adding to the arousal. You gulp and move forward to her. You try to play along. “Yes…I…I will punish you…”

 

You feel weird saying that, how is this punishment? You are about to provide pleasure to her.

 

“Yes…yes…” she whines.

 

You rub the tip of your cock on the outside of her pussy lips. You can feel her heat radiating from her snatch. Her tail wraps around your body, bringing you in closer. You prod her hole nervously. You know where you are supposed to stick it, but that doesn’t take away the nervousness.

 

“Teasing me? Is this my punishment?” she whines.

 

You snap out of it, fumbling with your cock you stick the tip in. Astrella exhales sharply. “Oooo…yes….more….please…..all the way!”

 

You gently grasp her shoulders and ease your cock into her. She moans and bites your shoulder as your cock slowly splits apart her walls. Her tail wraps around you even tighter, her legs follow suit, pulling you in.

 

You let out a small groan as you hit the base. You lean forward, groaning. “Oh…god!!!”

 

This is it, if you did take a vow of chastity, it’s gone now, no longer can you be a virgin priest. However you also took the dark priest’s virginity, so it cancels out.

 

Maybe.

 

You slowly rock your hips, adjusting to the new pleasure. Astrella’s legs help guide your pace. You take it slow, moving back and forth. It’s a good pace for you, you don’t want to go fast.

 

Astrella’s moans are long and husky. She holds your shoulders, digging her nails deep into your skin. “Yes…yes…claim me…claim me, Father.”

 

She feels tight and wet, her walls massaging and tugging at your cock. You feel sweat building on your head and back.

 

“Father…go faster,” she moans.

 

You quicken your pace, but are already feeling a stirring in your balls. You aren’t sure how long you have been going at it, but that’s your body’s way of saying you are ready to release.

 

You lie down on her while your pace quickens. “Ah-Astrella,” you groan. “I’m..I’m cumming.”

 

Her eyes go wide. “You are?”

 

“Yes,” you groan. “I’m trying to hold….back.”

 

“NO!” she barks. “Faster!”

 

“What?”

 

Before you can say anything else, you feel a sharp prick in your ass cheek. You yelp and feel a burning sensation going up your spine and into your member and balls. You pin her down and thrust harder and harder into her sopping wet cunt. You plow her fields like a farmer using his strongest horse. She squeals as you beat up her poor cunt.

 

That’s when the first orgasm hits.

 

You shoot a load of your holy milk into her womb. She squeals in delight as her aching womb is satisfied by your sticky load.

 

Now you have heard this is where it’s supposed to end, but you keep going. Your member has a mind of its own, and it’s not just wanting to have sex, it wants to breed.

 

You want to breed Astrella

 

You want her to be full of your seed.

 

YOU WANT CHILDREN!

 

You capture her lips and continue bounding her cunt, muffling her squeals. You feel another orgasm after another gush into her womb. Astrella’s body trembles and thrashes after each.

 

You don’t know how long you have been going at it, but one thing is for sure.

 

You both are covered in sweat.

 

Your balls feel drained.

 

You flop onto her panting. “Astrella.”

 

“Yeeessshhhh?” she pants.

 

“I…I love you….”

 

“I love you too….oh…just to let you know, I’m definitely pregnant.”

 

As expected.

 

KNOCK KNOCK!

 

You look at your door. Who on Earth is knocking on it? And they are loud!

 

You peel yourself off of Astrella and put on a robe. You make your way to the door and open it.

 

Barghest is standing there, drooling. “Hello, Father, I know I’m interrupting your sex time.”

 

“What?” you balk. “What are you…how….?”

 

She taps her nose. Hellhound sniffers are powerful. “I’ll make it quick, I need you to watch Isabel tonight, just until tomorrow morning.”

 

“Why?”

 

“Well…” her pupils dilated. “Hubby and I haven’t had alone time in months…..many….many months….if you catch my drift?”

 

You gulp. “Oh.”

 

“So….I need to…..spend some…quality time with him…..all…night….long, got it?”

 

You nod. “Bring her over at 7.”

 

“Thanks!” she rushes away.

 

You go back to bed and flop next to Astrella. “Well, we gotta take care of Isabel tonight;”

 

“Oh with joy! We will make a fine meal tonight! Isabel and I will at least, you stay out of the kitchen!”

 

You smile. “Of course dear.”

“How long until Isabel comes over?”

 

You look outside at the sun. “2 hours.”

 

“Perfect,” her tail slithers up your leg. “Now…how about another round?”
