It was an hour after Tobias had left when Amber finished preparing a new potion and returned to their room to change clothes. Zoe was sitting on the bed, her knees pressed into her chest, her hands and tail wrapped around her legs as she rocked back and forth, her gaze absent.

  “Are you okay?” Amber asked, taking off her clothes, which stank from one of the mushrooms she had used in her potion.

  “Where is he?” Zoe asked, her voice weak.

  “I don't know,” the elf replied. “But he’s not gone for long.”

  “W-What if something happened to him?”

  “I’m sure he’s okay,” Amber replied.

  “What if he’s not?” Zoe asked, tears glistening in her pink eyes. “What if something happened? We should go help him!”

  “You don't even know where he is,” Amber replied, sitting on the bed in just her underwear.

  Zoe whimpered, tightening her tail around herself. “Azura can smell him and find him.”

  “He might not even be in the city anymore,” Amber said and grimaced, realizing those were not good words to say.

  “What?!” Zoe gasped. “No,” she whimpered, more tears streaming down her face.

  Amber was completely lost, seeing that her words only made everything worse. A woman who was fucking her man was crying because she missed him. If it were any other man, Amber would have been long gone, or she would have had him just for herself. But with him…

  Instead, he seduced her and pushed her into this weird shit. She ended up with Zoe, who was crying because he had left for a few hours, and her stupid ideas to run around the city looking for him randomly.

  But it was Zoe… She really could press Amber’s buttons. The elf had always known succubi were dangerous but only found out how much when she met Zoe. That girl could bring her to her knees and make her beg Tobias to be fucked while calling him her master.

  While Amber still felt conflicted about sharing Tobias with someone, sharing him with a succubus was the best possible option. And if she wanted to stay in this whole weird retionship, she needed to adapt and find a pce for herself.

  And Zoe was gorgeous. Amber felt a pang of jealousy looking at her. She had pale skin just like her, but those pink eyes… they added so much color to her face, something Amber cked with her pale blue eyes.

  Seeing Zoe in the state she was in, Amber finally couldn’t stand it anymore. She shifted closer, sitting next to the succubus, and wrapped her arm around her, pulling her into a hug. Zoe immediately pressed herself into the elf, pushing her onto her back as she y down on top of her. Zoe’s tail quickly unwrapped from her own legs, coiling around Amber’s waist as she started to cry into her shoulder.

  Amber brushed Zoe’s back, worried that any more of her words might make things even worse, so she stayed quiet. It was all Tobias’ fault. He dreamed himself a harem, and now she was holding one of his crying women. Because he left. Though, it was just for a few hours.

  Then why couldn’t she stop thinking about him all this time?

  He was handsome, athletic, tall, and… so fucking hot. And when he told her she was coming with him to Ortas… She didn't have a sve tattoo like Zoe or Azura, but she felt like she had one.

  He could make her kneel and suck his cock with a flick of his hand. Or a flick of his mana. God, why would it always make her so wet? She had slept with many women before who had mana, and none of them worked her up like that. That bastard could brush her sensitive ear with his mana, and it would make her whole body shiver and her pussy drenched, like a bitch in heat ready for him.

  “I-I’m scared,” Zoe mumbled, when the tears stopped coming, but she still remained on top of Amber.

  “He’ll be okay. Don't worry so much,” Amber replied.

  “It’s all your fault.”

  “What?!” Amber gasped.

  “You shouldn’t have let him go!” Zoe cried out.

  Amber snorted. “Like I could tell him not to do something. He would just spank me and do whatever he wants anyway. The only person who could stop him was you.”

  “No,” Zoe shook her head. “I couldn’t. He’s my Master.”

  “Yeah… Like he ever treats you that way. He’s in love with you, stupid girl, and if you had asked him… maybe he would’ve stayed,” Amber said, doubting that just asking would be enough. But if Zoe had started to cry and beg him, then perhaps she would’ve succeeded.

  Zoe whimpered before she replied, “I-I thought I would be okay… I’m not,” she whimpered again.

  “It’s just a guy,” Amber replied, frustrated. “You’ll be okay even if he doesn’t return.”

  “Don't say things like that!” Zoe gasped. “And he’s not just a guy!”

  “Is it because you feed on him?”

  “No!” Zoe shrieked. “I love him! I can't live without him!”

  “You know that’s not good for you? Being so dependent on him?”

  “I don't care. And I’m a succubus. We are always dependent on men, whatever they want to pretend! We are always dependent on men!”

  “What are you talking about?” Amber asked, getting lost, especially since it seemed to bring even more emotions from Zoe.

  “Succubi hate that they are dependent on men, so they hate them. But it doesn't make sense. It makes all of them so unhappy. It’s much better to love men.”

  “You don't exactly look happy right now.”

  “You don't understand anything! You don't love him!” Zoe cried out, pushing Amber away. She turned around, as if insulted by the revetion, and curled up, pulling her legs toward her chest, but she kept her tail wrapped around Amber’s hips.

  The elf y down behind Zoe and spooned her, wrapping her arms around her stomach. Despite her outburst, the succubus snuggled back into her.

  “He will be back,” Amber murmured. “And if he doesn’t come back by morning, we’ll go look for him.”

  “Do you promise?” Zoe mumbled.

  “Yes,” Amber replied. “He saved me. It would only be fair if I saved him. But for now, just wait.”

  “Will you stay here with me?” Zoe asked.

  “Yeah,” Amber sighed.

  “Thank you, Amber.”

  The elf rolled her eyes but tightened her arms around the succubus as a little worry started to creep into her mind. She had finally found herself a worthy man, she couldn't lose him already. She shook her head. It was all because of Zoe, not that she really cared that much about him.

  They remained like that, without more words or tears, until the door opened. Both of them immediately turned, but it was only Azura. She walked inside, tilting her head slightly to the side, casting a curious gnce at them.

  “Hey, baby,” Zoe murmured. “We’re crying together, waiting for Master.”

  “I’m not crying!” Amber gasped. “And he’s not my Master!”

  Azura didn't say anything. She took off her clothes until she was just in her underwear and y down in front of Zoe, pressing herself face to face into her.

  Amber held back a groan… What the fuck was going on? All three of them with one stupid man. What was she even doing? Lying in bed with two other women who were fucking her man and behaving like some brainless stupid dolls that couldn’t live without him.

  What the fuck even was that? Tobias’ harem? Two hours without him, and they curled up in bed like they were pathetic. Though, she was fine. She wasn't crying and wasn’t going to. She only took care of them because that bastard left.

  Lying there, Amber started to pn what she would demand as her reward for doing so, and how she would tease him, and how she would make him angry. So he would just fuck her real good. She imagined choking on his cock, how wet she would be, and then he would fuck her hard and fast. But first, he would make her watch as he turned those two crybabies into moaning bitches.

  It was a few more hours ter, Amber wasn’t even sure how much, because she was dozing off, when Azura raised her head, blinking her sleepy eyes open as her nose twitched.

  “He’s back,” she murmured. The same instant, Zoe leapt from between them. Before Amber could even turn around, Zoe was no longer in the room. Azura moved slower but slid off the bed and ran out of the room.

  Amber sighed, watching the two of them. No wonder he wouldn’t leave them for her. What man wouldn't want women who behave like they are obsessed bitches in heat, who only dream of sucking his cock all day? But it was all his fault. He found himself a succubus and… literally a bitch in heat.

  Amber decided to stay in bed to make him think she didn’t care that he was back. Let him come to her, not the other way around. She y down on her side, turned toward the door. She made sure her tits looked perfect, squeezed between her arms, her nipples aimed straight at where he would be when he entered.

  Her legs positioned so he could get a peek at her pussy, already starting to get wet at the prospect of before-sleep sex. She stared at the door, waiting for him to come, but when she heard footsteps approaching the room, she realized what she was doing - desperately waiting for him. So she closed her eyes.

  ---

  I was flying. Not in a pne, but on the back of a monster. Another thing that I would never have imagined doing in my old life. We were high above the trees, Whitney’s house had vanished from view minutes ago. I was clutching tightly to Gemma’s body, worried I might fall, but she was really smooth in her flight.

  She was cutting through the air almost without movement, like a sculpture suspended in midair, her wings spread wide, only from time to time giving a single powerful beat. It gave us a boost of speed and height before she glided back down through the dark sky.

  Even the wind wasn’t that bad, her body blocked most of it, and I could watch, in a surprisingly peaceful moment, the world passing beneath us.

  Gemma remained completely silent for a long moment before letting out a growl and giving her body a slight jerk. Instinctively, I tightened my grip on her, and moments ter she beat her massive wings, slowing us almost to a stop. As she turned slightly, I noticed lights some distance ahead of us, and I assumed it was Ortas.

  It didn’t shine like the cities of my old world, but I could still see it clearly against the complete darkness beneath us. It was still a bit ahead, though it was hard to tell how far, given how high we were in the sky.

  Then we started to fall, downward, spinning rapidly, as if we’d been caught in a tornado dragging us toward the ground. I clutched the beast I was riding tighter as the ground rushed closer, far too fast.

  Just before we would’ve hit, she gave a powerful beat of her wings and brought us to a sudden stop. Then she nded gently. My head was spinning, and I felt like I was going to puke, not sure if it was from all the tight spirals or because she’d dropped too fast for me. Even though we were already on the ground, I kept clutching her body, needing a moment to pull myself together.

  Taking off and flying wasn’t that bad, but her nding was horrible. Maybe I should’ve closed my eyes so I wouldn’t have to watch the ground rush toward us as if we were falling, but I was sure she could’ve nded more slowly too.

  When my heart finally calmed down and I was sure I wasn’t going to puke, I rexed my grip on the monster and carefully sat up. I slid off the gargoyle’s back, returning to hard, solid ground. There was something about it that I didn’t appreciate on a daily basis, something you only truly notice after spending some time on the back of a flying monster.

  The gargoyle, Gemma, growled, pointing one of her cwed hands in a direction I assumed was toward Ortas.

  “Thanks for coming for me. And for the flight. And for bringing me here,” I said. “Are we going to talk in the dream world?”

  The gargoyle nodded, moving not just her head but her whole upper body.

  “Thanks again. Flying was amazing. But you could’ve nded a bit more slowly.”

  Gemma growled, her tail spping against the ground as she pointed in the same direction again.

  “Okay, okay, I’m going. See you soon. Hopefully, you’ll look better next time,” I said.

  The gargoyle growled again, louder this time, with more threat in it. Then she beat her wings once and vanished into the dark sky. Shaking my head, I started walking toward Ortas, but after just a few steps, I stopped, reminded of something.

  “Peri?” I called out, looking down at my body as if I was supposed to find her there. My nerves calmed down immediately when I sensed the familiar feeling of her moving over my body. It wasn't at my lower back as always, but on my feet, tickling, as she came out of my shoe. The slime quickly slid up my body and only stopped when she was in the palm of my hand, making quick circles.

  “Hungry?” I asked.

  She moved left, actually making a full circle around my hand. I summoned mana in my palm, feeding her as I started walking again. It wasn’t like she’d been left unfed for long, I’d fed her before the mission, but maybe she’d gotten nervous because of everything that was happening. Maybe she was stress-eating.

  She devoured a really big portion of my mana before she finally stopped absorbing it, leaving only a small portion that I let disperse.

  “Are you okay?” I asked.

  ‘Yes.’

  “Did you see what happened when I lost consciousness?”

  ‘Yes.’

  Unfortunately, I couldn't ask her to tell me. “Did they find you?” I asked.

  ‘No.’

  After her reply, something started to happen to her. She wobbled, then began to grow smaller, shrinking until she was a tiny, green, thin dot on my hand, still visible and noticeable, but much smaller than she had been just seconds before. So she was able to shrink herself and hide in my shoe, so they wouldn’t find her.

  “I’m gd that nothing happened to you,” I murmured, and she just made a circle in my palm. “Did they do something beyond checking my things?”

  Peri seemed to hesitate for a moment before she replied. ‘No.’

  “Okay, thanks,” I replied, and she slid to my wrist, staying there for some time.

  Walking through the forest, I soon ended up on a road from which I could see Ortas. A roar echoed above me, but when I looked up, I couldn’t spot Gemma anywhere. I assumed it was her way of saying goodbye, so I waved my hand in that general direction before heading toward the city.

  After passing through the gate, I quickly found Sage’s house. As I entered, I braced myself for Azura, who usually threw herself at me whenever I returned. This time, though, Zoe was first, with Azura following right after.

  And while Azura was always happy to see me, Zoe was crying before she even reached me. She jumped onto me, wrapping everything she could around me, clutching and squeezing tightly. Azura slipped in at my side, pressing herself against me but staying on the ground.

  “Hey, what happened?” I asked, hugging both of them as much as I could, worried as Zoe sobbed into my chest.

  “She missed you,” Azura whispered. “Thought you wouldn’t come back.”

  “Don’t leave me,” Zoe mumbled through her crying.

  “I’m not leaving,” I said, brushing her back. “I was just gone for a moment, but I’m back.”

  Zoe shifted, pressing her face higher, sniffling, and she suddenly pulled back, looking at me with tears on her reddened face, still hanging on me.

  “Y-You slept with a vampire…” Zoe mumbled.

  “How do you even sense it?” I asked.

  “The smell,” Zoe murmured, looking even sadder than she was before.

  “Is it a problem?” I asked.

  “D-Did she drink your blood?” Zoe asked quietly.

  “No.”

  “Good,” Zoe murmured, hugging me again.

  I wanted to ask if it would be a problem if Whitney had drunk my blood, but someone started to come down the stairs. I thought it would be Amber, but instead, it was Mia, Terra, and Zelda. All of them in their pajamas. And if waking them up was not enough, Hannah opened the door of her room, peeking into the corridor.

  “What’s going on?” Azura’s mother asked sleepily.

  “Sorry, I was out and just got back. We’re going upstairs,” I said, letting go of both women who were hugging me. I grabbed their hands, pulling them toward the stairs.

  Hannah didn't answer, closing the door as I approached the rest of the women.

  “Are you okay?” Zelda asked. “Do you need me to heal something? Or can I get back to sleep?”

  “I’m okay, thanks,” I replied. “Sorry for waking you up,” I apologized. Only Mari and Amber did not show up, and while the first one didn't really surprise me, the naughty elf was probably pying some games, ignoring me on purpose.

  Mia and Terra headed back toward their room, and my gaze was lured by their asses in loose clothes. Terra had really wide hips, the shorts she was wearing showing off her plump, big ass that looked juicy.

  Mia, on the other hand, had a small bubble butt, firm and perky, and god, I would love to spank it. But both my hands were occupied as I pulled Azura and Zoe upstairs. And I wasn't sure if she would appreciate it. When we reached the st floor, Mia gnced at me before she closed the door in front of herself.

  I walked into my room, with Azura and Zoe behind me, as my gaze fell on Amber. She had her eyes closed but was holding her tits pushed toward me, her pussy glistening, her cheeks flushed, her breath quickened.

  “Are you seriously pretending to be asleep?” I asked, summoning a bit of mana and flicking it against her ear.

  “Asshole!” she gasped, grabbing her own ear, trying to protect it. “What? You thought I would be waiting for your return?”

  “I thought I would get a hug,” I replied.

  Amber snorted. “You were gone for a few hours. If you miss me, you can come hug me, but I’m not getting up.”

  “Okay,” I said, ignoring her, moving to pick fresh clothes.

  “What are you doing?” Amber asked, her gaze following me.

  “I need to wash,” I said, grabbing Zoe’s hand, taking her with me. “Then I will tell you all what happened, and we will fuck. You can both join if you want,” I added to Azura and Amber before I left the room.

  I wasn't really surprised when Azura followed, and Amber stayed in bed. Actually, I was gd, because the three of us already had trouble fitting in the bath. If the elf decided to join, there wouldn’t really be space for her.

  We took off our clothes in silence and entered the bath that quickly filled with hot and soothing water. I sat down first, Azura sitting in front of me, between my spread legs, facing me, leaning against the bath on the other side, her feet somewhere around my hips. Zoe sat down on my thighs, somehow managing to sit sideways, pressing herself into my chest, her head resting on my shoulder.

  “What happened?” I asked softly, looking at Zoe.

  “I’m sorry,” she mumbled. “I thought I’d be okay when you were gone… I was not,” she added, shaking her head as she started to cry again.

  “I’m sorry,” I whispered.

  “You can't leave me!” Zoe gasped. “Ever again. Please…” she whimpered.

  Just a few hours apart and she was a complete mess. It was the first time we split for so long with her not having an idea where I was, but I didn't suspect that she might react like that. Or more precisely, I hadn’t thought about how she would react and feel. Perhaps I should have been more thoughtful before I left. Especially since her reaction didn't surprise me that much, and I should have predicted it.

  “Promise me you won’t leave me ever again,” Zoe asked again. “I can be like a shadow, just watch you or something. I’ll follow you and you won’t notice I’m there, but please, I can’t be separated from you ever again…”

  “I promise that nothing is going to separate us,” I replied.

  Zoe nodded, calming down in my embrace, as Azura watched from the other side of the bath.

  “Are you okay?” I asked softly, reaching to squeeze her feet - anything else was out of my reach.

  She let out a confirming hum.

  “You didn't miss me?” I asked, with a soft smile.

  “I did,” Azura replied.

  Ah… the woman of so many words.

  We remained silent for a moment, just basking in the hot water, before Zoe spoke again. “M-Master,” she stammered. “A-Are we going to have sex ter?”

  “Of course.”

  She grimaced, completely surprising me, but then she averted her gaze and expined her issue. “Y-You need to hold my mouth away from you,” she mumbled under her nose. “I-I don't want to hurt you, but… but… I just… You slept with another vampire and I have this… this need inside me… to bite you again,” she whispered.

  I wrapped my arms around her with a sigh. She tensed at first, rexing only after a moment, but she was still holding her face away from me. Before I could say anything, she pushed herself away from me with a gasp. “I have an idea!”

  “Order me not to bite you,” she said quickly. “But for real, not just words. Use my tattoo,” she expined, tilting her head back, pushing her neck toward me. “I won’t be able to bite you even if I really want to.”

  “No,” I said. “I don't want to give you any order at all. I don't want to use this,” I said, brushing the tattoo on her neck, “to turn you into someone else. Or to forbid you from doing something you want.”

  “But I don't want it,” Zoe protested. “I don't want to hurt you.”

  Maybe it was my love for her. Maybe it was guilt because I left without thinking about how she would feel. But I saw one much simpler solution to that problem than using magic to change her.

  “One bite,” I said.

  “W-What? No,” Zoe replied, her voice shaky.

  “And try to be gentle.”

  “M-Master,” Zoe said. “I don't want to hurt you.”

  “Then don't bite me,” I replied.

  Zoe whimpered.

  “Zoe, do you want to bite me and drink my blood?” I asked, looking deeply into her pink eyes.

  “I… I want to. But I also don’t want to hurt you.”

  “Does it hurt when I spank you?” I asked.

  “That’s different,” Zoe protested.

  “Why?”

  “Because I like it.”

  “And I would like to help you with that need you have,” I replied.

  “I can hold back,” Zoe murmured.

  “Are you sure?”

  She shook her head before she raised her gaze to my face. “Are you really okay with it?”

  “My girlfriend that I love is a vampire, I should have suspected you would have a need like that,” I replied.

  Zoe frowned slightly. “I-I have…” she whispered so quietly I could barely hear her. “Normally it’s just from time to time, and it’s weak. I can control it, but today… just…”

  She let out a deep breath, parting her lips and absently licking over her fangs. “I must sink my fangs into you,” she murmured with a shiver running through her body. Then she groaned, burying her face in both her hands. “I’m so sorry!” she mumbled between her fingers. “It’s stronger than me.”

  “It’s okay, I love you,” I murmured. From what she’d just said, it seemed like it might not end with only one bite. If she had that need inside her but was holding it back, there would probably be more situations where she’d want to do it, when the urge grew too strong.

  That was what I got for dating a vampire. And in the end, the pain was brief, and she could heal me afterward, so if it was going to make her happy… Why was I convincing myself to get bitten by a vampire?

  “I love you too,” she murmured, slowly putting her head on my chest as if she were worried that she would lose control and bite me.

  I closed my eyes with a sigh, getting an answer to my question immediately.

  For the rest of the bath, we remained silent, just taking comfort from each other. When we left, I pulled Azura in for a short, soft kiss, not wanting her to feel left out, before we returned to our room.

  Amber was sitting completely naked in the center of the bed, pouting with both her arms crossed under her tits, pushing them yet again toward me.

  “You are ignoring me!” she accused.

  “You didn't want to move your ass out of the bed, princess,” I replied, getting into the bed after I dropped my clothes. “But I’m here now.”

  She kept pouting before, after a few seconds, she moved to kneel next to me. She pressed her generous tits into my chest, her hands wrapped around my back as she hugged me.

  “I hate you,” she whispered.

  “I’m gd to see you too,” I replied, grabbing her chin and pulling her for a kiss. But our lips barely touched before she pushed at my chest, pushing herself away.

  “Have you fucked someone?” she asked sharply, her eyes squinted.

  “Yeah, but let me start from the beginning,” I replied. She pouted again but didn't comment at all. “There were organized illegal sve fights by a woman called The Dragon. My task was to seduce her, get to her pce so Sage could locate me, free all the sves there, and finish the illegal fights. So it was a mission to save sves,” I said.

  I continued, expining about the tournament I had to take part in. Zoe seemed worried at first, but when I described the fights, she seemed to calm down again.

  “You beat three dudes?” Amber asked. “To fuck some whore? You don't do stuff like that for me.”

  “I beat you the first time we were together,” I replied. “And it was easier to beat the three of them.”

  She pouted, but then she fell back on the bed, spreading her hands. “I will admit she had a good idea. Maybe I should create a tournament like that too. Watch as you beat the shit out of other guys, all shirtless and sweaty, just so you could have sex with me.”

  “Who told you I would take part in it?” I asked with a smirk.

  “Asshole,” she murmured.

  “After the tournament, Whitney put me to sleep just with her gaze. It’s her css skill, right? Not some vampiric ability or something?” I asked Zoe.

  “Css skill. Vampires can’t do stuff like that,” she confirmed my suspicion. “Do you know her name?”

  “Only first name,” I replied. “Do you think you know her?”

  “I doubt it,” Zoe replied. “I don't remember that much from home. And she lives here. But, did she, like… want to drink your blood?”

  “I forbid her,” I replied, to which Zoe frowned. “She listened,” I added with a shrug, wanting to calm her down.

  “She knew that… ugh… you are sleeping with another vampire,” Zoe said, getting flustered.

  “Yeah, she asked me about it,” I confirmed.

  “I…” Zoe trailed off.

  “What?”

  “She wouldn't bite you even if you would let her,” Zoe replied. “Succubi and vampires can’t hurt each other’s… partners. That’s a really big crime and taboo. Doing something like that… In Liraveth it’s punishable with death.”

  “But you were worried that she might have bitten me,” I said.

  “We are not in Liraveth. And there were situations where vampires hurt someone else's partner. It ended badly for them, but… it happened.”

  “She didn't bite me. We just had sex,” I said.

  Amber snorted indignantly. “You say that like it makes the situation better. Oh, I just fucked another woman, no big deal.”

  “You knew what you were getting yourself into, little elf,” I replied. “After I had sex with Whitney, Sage attacked the pce, and I returned here. That’s all.”

  “Did they free the sves?” Zoe asked.

  “Yes.”

  There was a moment of silence before I asked. “Any more questions? Or can we move to the fun part of the night?”
