Chapter 1424: Bad Dog
Empress PoV
"Are you certain, Tessa? If you need to rest then please rest; I want you to be at your best for as long as possible, my love..."
Gently caressing the wooden 'flesh' of my long time lover was something that filled me with conflicting emotions; simply touching her sent shivers up my fingertips all the way up to my heart, warming it fully and reminding me of how deep my love went.
And yet knowing that I wasn't able to touch her real skin anymore was just... it broke my heart every single time; even if we had remained up above she would have eventually become this as well, but there was that chance that she could have prevented this with something.
"Love, please... what is the point of life if I cannot live it? I feel fine, and I want this. Besides..."
Patting my cheek and lowering herself onto the bed with a soft sigh, Tessa smiled at me before turning her eyes over towards the grey skinned Demon Wolf that was already sprawled out and completely nude.
"You'll want my help with her, I imagine. Primarily because I do not want to have to see you two beat each other because you 'love' each other..."
That just made Fen snort as she slid a hand down her sculpted abdomen, allowing her to wrap her hand around her thick knot and start pleasuring herself as she looked over at me with a smirk; that arrogance was what made me love her so much, but it was also what made her so damn unpredictable.
"Unlike Arc none of us actually take pleasure from inflicting violence on our partners... you sadistic fucking mutt."
Igna never bothered to hide her disdain for the extreme measures that Fen used against Arc in order for them both to reach climax, while Yusa just ignored them completely whenever they were going at it.
"Oh fuck off you scaled bitch. What I do to this 'holy' whore is between me and her; besides, whenever you come creeping into my room I never complain about the things you want me to do, now do I?"
Sensing the immediate explosion of an argument that would sour the mood made me sigh, so before it could explode I just raised a hand and forced everyone into silence with a masterful display of mana control, blocking their mouths and drawing their attention to myself.
"Not now, please. Fen was there anything... more that you needed to tell us? About your time in the Labyrinthian?"
Releasing the magic and staring at the Demon Wolf intently, I watched as she pursed her lips before they curled into a very infuriating smirk as she asked "Are you worried that I might have fucked someone during my time away~?"
"Answer the damn question, mutt."
Igna's anger only made her more amused, though the immediate pinch from Arc softened the Demon Wolf just a little as she rolled her eyes and answered "You all think so little of me... of course I didn't fuck anyone. I wanted to though."
The truth always came from her no matter how ugly it was, and although I had an inkling of why she wanted it - and also because I just wanted to hear it from her to assuage my own possessive desires - I pulled away from Tessa and looked down at the grey skinned futanari, pressing her for more.
"For one, Lilith is hot. That regal and sagely aura she always projects despite being one of the biggest sluts in the world is so arousing, y'know~? I think you told me you learned your lesson back then with her, didn't you~? How was it? Was she tighter than everyone else? Crazy good at riding~?"
"Don't deflect. You haven't told the whole truth yet."
Despite always wanting them to be honest I had my own fair share of secrets or things I wanted to remain as hidden as possible, and the time I had bedded Lilith was one of them; Fen just smirked and rolled out her shoulders as she kept quiet for another moment.
When she finally answered she was immediately pinched by Arc, who was always one for 'purity' despite being the one who was the most 'impure' amongst us all; Fen just ignored her though and said "The whole truth is I wanted to nab that Zara girl for myself. Most of the trip I spent watching her ass jiggle in those tight leather pants, seeing her get all flirty with her wives...
We went into one of those Trials together, spent a whole lotta time walking around doing fuck all... but since it was just us things got a little... heated. Kinda close, honestly; if we had been there for an hour longer I would've likely gotten her pregnant. I wanted to tear her away from the Begum and make her my bitch. That's the whole truth. Didn't though, obviously."
We were all silent for a few moments at that, with Igna just turning away as she held in her anger while Lorelei, Yusa and Tessa sat silently off to the side, watching me as I stared down at Fen and Arc; the Saintess was even 'glaring' at her partner, which made the Demon Wolf growl and wave her hand.
"It was entirely instinctual, alright? That Zara brat is perfect mate material for a Caninekin. She's strong but so submissive to someone stronger than her. Her body is perfection, her personality is so damn twisted yet she's so alluring... If I had met her back when I was just learning about the world I would've done everything in my power to make her mine. No matter the cost; it's just the kind of woman she is."
The silence stretched out for a few moments more, her confession lingering in my ears the entire time while her silver eye glowed with defiance as she stared at me; she was 'challenging' me on this, letting me know that the prodigal Dogkin that seemed to be the focal point of everything these last few years was her ideal type.
Yanking the Demon Wolf away from her supportive Saintess and pinning her down beneath me, I squeezed her throat and silenced her again as I murmured "You've been a bad dog then, Fenyras. It seems I have... misjudged a few things... Now I need to rectify them."
Now that silver eye was gleaming with intrigue but also 'fear' as she realized I wasn't relinquishing control of her throat, choking her and weakening her as much as I could without being incredibly violent.
It was this sort of treatment that we had forged our relationship on though, and getting to experience once again after so long had the Demon Wolf in a confused spot since she had 'forgotten' how she felt about this... so I needed to remind her.
Intimately.
