It didn't take long for Lydia to fall asleep while being embraced softly by Caela's strong arms. Together inside the tent, the two women slept soundly, not noticing the fire dying down or the creature that approached their camp. Deep in her sleep, Lydia didn't wake up at first as the lupine creature started to drag her out of the tent. But as the cold air outside hit her and the ground under her started to rub against her, slowly her eyes opened and she blinked confused as to what was happening.

"Where...?" She spoke in a sleepy voice, not sure where she was. Then she noticed it. She wasn't alone. As she was laying on the ground with her back up, something was laying over her. Something big. Daring to glance a bit backwards, she saw a big forest wolf. A forest spirit or a regular wolf she couldn't tell, but she could tell that she wasn't safe right now, realizing it had dragged her out of her tent. "Now now there... easy big boy. Just... please let me go." She spoke slowly to the wolf, not daring to move and hoping, in vain, that he would leave her alone.

[Assistant] The spirit was smarter than an ordinary beast, but for now it saw no real need to communicate that with one of the interlopers in its forest. If they had paid proper respect---perhaps he wouldn't be intruding on their camp but they had not and it would have its own payment from the travelers. Even as she spoke slowly to the wolf, its snout rubbed against her tipped ear for just a moment. Clawed paws dug against her body, not to rake her skin open but rather to keep her pinned down under its weight. Soft but still warm fur brushed over her, and its hind legs brushed against her thighs. The position it sought was one that he could easily rest on top of her with, and as its hind leg rose, it sought to firmly begin lowering her pants, or simply tearing them off of her, either solution would work as far as he was concerned. It seemed whatever this wolf was, what it desired was a simple thing---the princesses' body.

[User] Lydia didn't dare move or scream for help. Who knew whatever the beast wanted from her or what it would do if she screamed. The only thing she knew, so far, is that it didn't seem violent. Waiting, as the wolf smelled her and pinned her down, it didn't take long for her to understand what he wanted. His paws digging at her clothes and pulling them off, almost ripping them away, made it clear. The beast wanted her body. "Hey now big boy. I'm... I'm not a wolf like you. You can't do this to me. OK? Can you... just please... let me go?" She begged.

[Assistant] Fangs soon brushed against the princess' neck, and while not sinking in to her skin or puncturing her, the message was still a clear one---the wolf wanted her, and it was going to take her. Its hind leg claws tore at her pants, exposing more of her body to its almost silken fur as it sought to mount her more properly. With its body almost unnaturally warm, it provided some respite from the chill of the outside air, but even that warmth came at a price once her pants were in tatters---something more firm and thick beginning to rub against her thigh as it felt blood rushing between its legs, a short but pleasured sounding growl escaping its maw as it angled itself upwards against her, seeking out her slit.

[User]
Lydia couldn't believe the situation she was in right now. Pressed against the dirt of the woods by a giant wolf. Her body almost completely exposed, her face and breasts squeezed on the dirt and her ass being pulled up as the beast tore her pants away and seemed to start humping her.

Then she felt it. Something hard, hot, and big! Being put between her thighs, sliding back and forth as if seeking something else. This beast's cock was seeking her precious flower. "N-no... please don't. You're too big... you'll hurt me..." she spoke, desperately hoping it could understand her and stop, but she knew it was in vein. Just a bit closer, merely an inch and the wolf's cock would poke against her pussy. Then just one thrust was all it would take for him to ram his big beast cock inside her pussy.

[Assistant]
One thrust is all it would take---and for now it seemed the beast above her was more than content to follow through with that threat. Angling himself more directly against the woman beneath him, the wolf began to buck his hips against Lydia's, its shaft beginning to spear between her inner walls as it took her. Giving out a growl of pleasure, the beasts clawed limbs dug in against the ground as it began to brace itself, his furred body soon pressing completely against Lydia as a stark contrast to the cool evening air around her, providing at least some relief from the cold. Still, that may have been little comfort as inch after inch of the beasts shaft sunk into the Elven princess, his chest pressing back into her once he was fully within the woman, only to begin pulling back out partially and then thrusting more roughly and swiftly back into Lydia, his shaft twitching within her as it sought to slake its more carnal desires with the woman.

For now, it seemed Caela was still likewise deeply sleeping, as there was little if any sound coming from their mutual tent, no timely rescue this time.

[User]
Her breath got caught in her throat as she felt the beast above her start to buck his hips, going forward and pushing his member past her entrance. "Too... big..." she groaned, then a moan escaped her mouth as most of his cock went inside her. She felt so full, but at the same time, it felt good. She didn't think this should have felt good but it did. She was an elven princess, a noble, and here she was, pinned against the ground in the middle of a forest, being raped by a beast, and actually feeling good from it.

When she thought it couldn't get worse (or better) than this, the wolf started pulling back a bit only to thrust back in, starting to properly fuck the princess. Lydia moaned again, unable to contain herself. Why did this feel good? She was being raped by an animal, but it didn't feel bad. Was she really that shameful to actually be enjoying being raped by a wolf? "Fuck... so... big..." words escaped her mouth between thrusts and moans.

[Assistant]
Whether or not the princess was truly that shameful---it was happening regardless. The beast's shaft was shaped differently from Caela's, a bit thicker at the base and with a more pointed tip, reaching deep into her with every powerful thrust against the princess. As it leaned further into her, its fangs brushed over her neck, not to wound or injure her, but instead to brace her as his hips bucked back fiercely into her. From the way the animal tensed and began to get a bit more taut with its pounding motions it seemed evident that the beast was getting closer to climax as muffled growled vibrated against her neck with every other buck from its hips.

Caela was still sleeping---albeit not as peacefully as she had hoped. Something was beginning to rouse her, some sort of nearby sound. "Nngh... Princess?" Was the princess snoring or making some other sound? Almost ready to throw her pillow at the woman, Caela briefly jostled when she heard a nearby howl---the same howl the beast had as its wider hips smacked back into Lydia's ass, its seed beginning to fill the woman as it released within her with a deep grinding motion, intent on making sure that her first experience with an animal/spirit like itself was memorable, to say the least.

[User]
She had to resist. She couldn't give in. She was being raped by an animal, this shouldn't feel good... but it did. Princess Lydia couldn't deny just how good it felt. The wolf's cock was so big, her entire pussy stretched to fit it inside. And his thrusts were so deep and rough, hitting her in that perfect spot each time he moved. Without her consent, shameful words left her mouth. "Don't... stop..." she moaned softly as she was reaching her peak.

Suddenly, she felt it. One last hard thrust that ended in a powerful shot of cum inside her. It felt warm, so warm. And it filled her more than she thought was possible. She was being creampied by a wolf. And what made it worse, his orgasm brought out hers too. Once she felt the hot cum filling her up, her own body went over the edge and shook in a powerful orgasm.

[Assistant]
With the princess in the throes of her orgasm, the Wolf continued to pump his hips back into her, he lacked the casual grace Caela had with her earlier before but between the knot and leverage behind his thrusts it was a stark difference between the two. All the same, his cum flowed into her with a pleasured growl whined against the nape of the princess' neck. As far as it was concerned, this had been a rather... pleasurable punishment for the princess that had intruded on its lands. Its hips kissed back against hers, the last few drops of its seed filling the redheads slit. At the same time it felt her juices soaking against his body, with the beast shivering and tensing against its temporary lover. Rather than howl out, it kept its sounds to quiet whines and growls, tongue running against her neck for just a moment before it began to rise up a bit, hips shimmying as it sought to slowly but steadily free its shaft from her pussy, the knot formed within its shaft making that a little more difficult than likely intended.

Clawed paws brushed against her arms and legs, leaving little red lines where they grazed against her more fervently, and eventually the beasts cock popped free from her, the beast whining out in pleasure as the act happened.

[User]
Princess Lydia was thankful that there was nobody around to see this. She was wrecked. Pinned to the ground. Filled with animal cum. And her body loved it. The pleasure flooding her body was too much for her to deny it. Being raped by a wolf, an animal, shouldn't feel this good. But it did. Why did it feel so good? She had no idea.

Slowly, she felt the creature's cock sliding out of her. Some force being needed from his part, the knot trying to keep them locked together. With one more pull it came out, causing one last moan of pleasure to escape Lydia's mouth as she remained on the ground. Cum leaking from her pussy. What would this animal do to her now? Drag her away? Eat her? She had no idea, and neither did she have any energy to try and get up to run or scream for Caela to come help her. She was at it's mercy.

[Assistant] It was hard to tell how long had really passed. Was it minutes? Or perhaps the spiritual beast had rutted her for the better part of the evening. No matter how long had passed, the beast had seemingly had its fill of the trespasser pleasuring it. Once the beast had pulled free from her, it seemed content to leave---but as it turned to do so, there was a sharp turn from it as something caught its attention. The light flapping of the tent that Caela was in caught its attention, only for something to impact against its leg. As soon as it whined out, the creature all but faded into mist, leaving a slightly bloodied crossbow bolt to hit the ground shortly afterwards. Caela peered out from the tent, giving out a light growl as she saw the situation. Lydia could have been hurt or worse, and just as bad the wolf could have been part of a pack for all the mercenary knew. For now she rose fully from the tent, her crossbow in hand as she loaded another bolt in to it, moving to cover Lydia just in case.

It felt like more evasion. Talking about her powers was not what he had been looking for, though the information certainly helped provided she was being honest with him. He had to wonder whether she had decided that was the best way forward. With a few nods he showed that he understood as she covered up. Had she caught him staring? Perhaps she was going to get more defensive.

The idea of what she could offer him was rapidly growing. It wasn't one he had ever entertained before but, hell, she'd done much worse to humans and he felt cocky about his position of power when it came to these negotiations. "I understand," He finally replied, simply... The idea of craving liver certainly wasn't tempting but the rest of it didn't sound so bad.

"I didn't mean powers, though. I meant what have you got to offer if I don't want the cleaning? It looks a lot like I've got the power here, right now," Simon replied, his sharp eyes focusing on the features of her face to do his best to read her response while he remained a little tense in case she did decide to lash out.

[Assistant]
Soo-Ah looked at Simon again, wishing she could make him go to sleep the next 24 hours so he couldn't come up with any ideas that she was sure were stirring inside his head right now. The sharp angles of his brows and the set stance he had, knowing he had the advantage---somehow. _How did the hell he know?!_ Soo-Ah then tried to fix her posture, realizing that she might have been looking timid, her shoulders were pinched after all, and she kept looking away from his eyes.

_Dammit._ As long as Simon held the marble, she couldn't overpower him or hurt him to get what she wanted. But she also didn't want to run away and leave her marble with him. What if he escaped and ran too? They'd both wind up dead in the end. No, she had to stay and deal with Simon.

"I... " Soo-Ah then cleared her throat. "As I said, I can do what humans can do---" And then the rage she had pent up behind her anxiety came shooting forward as she placed her hands on her waist and demanded. "What the hell do you want then, Simon? A five-course meal? A massage? A strip-tease? Someone, to be your little bitch?" Soo-Ah was getting louder and louder, but she snapped her mouth shut finally and huffed some of her bangs from her face as the rage warmed her cheeks with color.

[User]
Living his sheltered, safe little life Simon was not used to confrontation in general. He certainly wasn't used to it with a supernatural being whose powers he barely understood. Still, though, Simon felt a rise of unfamiliar adrenaline as he grew angry in turn. Suzy's words were enraging him even if it was entirely reasonable. He frowned as she spoke, listening as she made her suggestions.

Perhaps counter to her intentions she had him visualizing her stripping those clothes off and following orders and it didn't sound so bad. She was a monster, right? Surely it was the least she could do to show him that he could trust her. Simon wasn't sure what the moral justification was but he was frustrated, confused and flooded with testosterone.

"Maybe I do," He started, speaking firmly as he was visibly angrier himself with his shoulders rising and falling, his body tenser and his eyes narrowed. Even his voice was obviously harsher now. "Would the marble be worth it?" Simon tested, knowing he was walking a fine line between pushing to see what he could get and starting an actual fight. "I bet you could earn my trust," He suggested, his eyes attentive as if expecting her to get angry enough to give up on words.

[Assistant]
Bribery? Soo-Ah's eyes furrowed as she thought over the proposition Simon offered. "What are you saying? That you wouldn't give my marble back when it was ready? That you'd hold on to it unless I do what you want?"

The clarification was more for her part, as she was thinking aloud---letting herself hear the absolute madness this whole day was spiraling into just because she had to make sure a human didn't die on the job. Soo-Ah sighed and said, "Oh my goddess," in her native tongue.

"What do you want me to do?" she asked Simon in English. "I'm open to ideas. Not all of them, but some," Soo-Ah added, trying to let Simon know there were even limits for her---the non-human creature standing before him. She narrowed her eyes slightly but relaxed them when she realized she'd do quite a lot for her marble. Soo-Ah fidgeted with the bottom of her poncho jacket as she gazed at Simon, her face pensive---and a bit nervous.

[User]
"Maybe," Simon evasively answered, trying to keep a little of this still a mystery and leave her guessing. It felt like a good idea but at this stage he had to assume Suzy had sussed out what he was implying.

Naturally he assumed the words he could not understand were an insult. Much as he didn't welcome it he understood, only frowning for a heartbeat before trying to move on. He did wonder what it was she said but he didn't have the time to try to memorize it, not when it was so unexpected.

When she accepted his mind raced, curious what ideas exactly Suzy was going to be open to. He figured it was best to start slow and build up rather than blurting out anything too extreme, crude or obvious. "Well, for a start, I was enjoying that view. I'd like to see you better again. Did you choose this body?" He requested and questioned all at once, his tone slightly tentative as it fluctuated between firmness and self-doubt.

This was fair. She wasn't human. She'd hurt people. Simon tried to excuse this all the while as he also tried his best to see if he was going to strike a line and make her go from diplomatic to aggressive again. This had to be something she could do, though. It was just the start.

[Assistant]
Soo-Ah was thrown by his question, not the one asking her to show more of her body to him, but the one asking if she chose this body. She hardly remembered the time before she became a human. When she was born into existence nearly 29 years ago, she couldn't remember things clearly as she was a baby at the time.

But sometimes, Soo-Ah had dreams of playing in the forest as a fox spirit, hunting small prey like rabbits and other woodland creatures. While a fox spirit, she had a corporeal form and two tails---until she met a witch-like woman. In these dreams, Soo-Ah made a deal with her, one that left any harm to Soo-Ah at the time; other than that, she would summon her for three favors as long as Soo-Ah lived.

''It could be ten years from now or a hundred... but you will do as I command...'' Those words would repeat in her mind as she slept---especially after consuming energy from her marble.

The body gifted to her was random---at least that was what Soo-Ah assumed-- and she wasn't sure if she had been a fox spirit for ten years, 20 years, 30 years, or even more before she was ''born'' as a human. But she had assumptions. She could still transform into her fox self, where she now had three tails---and she only got her third tail nine years ago. She must have been at least 69 years of age or even older if she gained a tail every twenty years.

Soo-Ah slowly started to remove her rain poncho and folded it neatly once removed, putting it on the kitchen island. "No," she finally would answer. "I didn't choose this body. But it's mine... and I rather like it." She thought about revealing her fox self but thought that would further prove Simon's theory of her being inhuman. Humans couldn't turn into foxes with three tails, after all. Soo-Ah stood in front of Simon, breathing as calmly as she could, tugging at the bottom of her still damp white shirt.

[User]
Simon was oblivious to her inner turmoil. He'd managed to convince himself she was a monster and, at least for the moment, that was all she was to him. He had struggled for a time but the surety was strong for the moment. Monsters didn't get to feel bad. She'd done enough harm to humanity, she could repay that, right?

When she mentioned she didn't choose he nodded, all while distracted by staring at her body through that wet white t-shirt of hers. She had a gorgeous figure that he refused to stop admiring now even if he blushed a slight bit. "I like it too," He noted, not expecting her to be appreciative of the compliment but feeling like they were past pretenses.

"Is your shirt uncomfortable?" Simon queried, glancing at the way she tugged at the hem. "Or are you cold?" He checked, not sure if she felt the temperature in the same way he did. Thinking about, given how soaked he was, he was not as cold as he ought to be.

[Assistant]
She couldn't help it, but some part of her brain, a small dark corner, was pleased by Simon's comment about liking her body as he stared at her body as she tugged at her shirt. He questioned her, asking what was wrong with the item. His guess was correct... the man was more intelligent than Soo-Ah assumed, which made her bristle just a little bit.

"It's cold, yes, and uncomfortable." She quickly let go of the fabric, letting the wet cloth smack against her skin again. Soo-Ah then fussed with her still damp hair, removing the tie from it as it was a mess. "Do you have some dry clothes I can borrow? I can change, and we can continue this conversation afterward?" Soo-Ah was still trying to play on Simon's goodness---but she was accepting that his thoughts were laying elsewhere---and he was testing her.

She could pretend like she didn't know, which wouldn't be that hard to do. But how long would that last? The bits of anger towards her inhumanness were becoming more blatant, but he was restraining himself for now.

[User]
As she untied her hair Simon found himself quite liking this look. It was messy, with her untied wet hair and soaked clothes, but he just found it all arousing. Perhaps it was because of her body, or because he felt confident that this was going to escalate soon. To that end he shook his head, denying her the offer to change into his far less sexy clothes. That wasn't going to happen.

"You can just take it off," He suggested, bluntly. "I can get you a towel, turn the heat up or we can take a hot shower," Simon offered, making sure to emphasize the word 'we'. Any of the choices would leave her a lot more exposed but he was a bit past really considering anything but how to get Suzy in bed with him. Or naked in the shower or naked right here. Everything else was starting to matter less as his animal desire for her took over.

[Assistant]
Sure, the shirt was chaffing her skin, but Simon's blatant suggestion of taking her shirt off was alarming. But... Soo-Ah wanted to persuade Simon, even though he too was trying to manipulate her. _Better to have him happy so I can get my marble back._

Reluctantly, Soo-Ah removed her shirt right then and there, hoping to shock Simon and throw him off his ''game''. She laid her shirt on one of the stools, hoping it would air dry quickly as she kept her eyes level towards one of Simon's ears before moving her gaze back to his eyes as they looked at her with the very same gaze men have stared at her before... but this time she was on the other side of this ''game'' as her marble resided inside of Simon instead of herself.

"You lead the way, Simon," Soo-Ah said, her tone of voice less angry than before---but it was still unsure.

But the idea of a hot shower was lovely; she just hoped that she could find some way to please Simon and make him realize she wasn't a monster that hunted people in the night, snacking on their organs like an animal. She was a spirit turned human---not precisely 100% human as she still could shapeshift and had other supernatural abilities---but she lived as a human the past 29 years of her life.

"I'll follow you to your shower," Soo-Ah said, hoping to reassure him so he wouldn't think she was up to something nefarious. But a brief and fleeting thought swam across her brain---maybe she could tie him up and trap him in a closet? But she doubted she'd be able to overpower him with her energy running through his body right now.

[User]
Simon stared, shameless, as she removed her shirt. It didn't shock or perturb him, though it perhaps did distract him. She had a gorgeous body and he was too far past the line to really pull back now. A small smile crept over his features as he enjoyed the view before she spoke. When Suzy interrupted he blinked, looking back up to meet her eyes. She sounded almost accepting and Simon just nodded.

It seemed she was accepting the idea of a shower, which seemed to suggest she would accept a lot more once they were there. He hoped so. "Perfect, it's just upstairs," He explained, beginning to head through the house trusting that she would be just behind him. Something about her lack of attempts to attack him so far had him feeling confident that she was not about to lash out when his back was turned. Internally Simon just felt powerful, now. A product of the marble, no doubt.

As they walked together through his home it was clear just how large it was for one man, heading up the staircase and along a corridor with far too many doors leading to unused bedrooms and two studies. Simon did all his reading in the living room and used just one bedroom, sometimes even sleeping on the couch.

The bathroom itself was the third door down, which he opened and held for Suzy. The room itself was expansive, decorated largely in white with a little dark trim. The shower was more than big enough to accommodate two people with jets at the sides. Everything was clean as he usually used the smaller en-suite but there were a pair of large, fluffy towels ready on a rack. Simon turned now, facing her and glancing to the shower as if trying to silently see if she was really going to go through with this.

[Assistant]
Simon turned his back on her and started to lead them both up the stairs. Watching his back, Soo-Ah narrowed her eyes, trying to figure out what the best move to take was. Was she going to obey every command Simon had for her? Sure she was complacent with most demands people gave her at work. When Soo-Ah was draining energy from different people, she often tried to make their wishes come true as she did feel some guilt over making them feel tired, lethargic, and at some times confused. But with Simon in control of her marble at this point---would she fall in line and do as he wished?

Once upstairs, Soo-Ah followed him, several steps behind him, walking relatively slow---on purpose. She peered around her at the number of doors they passed, which enforced the idea further that Simon's home was on the larger side for most Portlanders. They then entered the bathroom that Simon guided them both too and he eyed the shower as Soo-Ah slowly entered, standing before him. A silly idea struck her, a rather crappy one actually---but it might work.

"I must say you have a lovely home Simon," Soo-Ah said with a snarky tone. She bent down and started to remove her shoe covers and then her shoes---even though she was being conditioned to follow his orders, she didn't throw her shoes on the floor haphazardly. No, she placed them neatly by the sink, placing the shoe covers inside the shoes. She then stood up and started to unbutton her trousers, her face heating slightly as Simon was unashamed in watching her undress before him. She then bent over as she began to pull her pants down her legs, stepping one leg out of them at a time. She then neatly folded her trousers, putting them on the sink as she stood in only her panties and bra---skin visible for him to see. A noticeable burn scar marred the front of her left thigh---it was about the size of a baseball, and if Simon were to get a glance at her shoulder, he'd see the scar on her back shoulder blade towards the right, which looked like someone or something cut her there long ago, as it had healed over quite well.

The plan's details were working their way out in her brain as she decided just how to play them through.

[User]
As they stood there in somewhat awkward silence he watched her strip. At first, it didn't feel great but the more he saw of her smooth body the more his arousal beat down his morality. He didn't reply to her sarcasm, instead just watching calmly right up until he saw the scars. Those flooded his mind with a hell of a lot of questions he wasn't going to ask now. Simon suspected the answers would ruin everything and he was just determined enough not to ask for the answers even if he might struggle to stop her from volunteering them.

To avoid thinking he unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his pale chest. Simon was slim but reasonably lean, not too pallid or unhealthy looking but far from a fitness model. He had four visible abs but that was largely just due to his weight, not his fitness. As he pulled his shirt off he revealed his arms were again toned but not particularly impressive by any means.

Pausing, he eyed her again. "You really do have a nice body," He praised, clumsily but very honestly. The whole tone was stilted and awkward but it wasn't slowing to a grinding halt, either. Simon walked over, turning on the shower at a good temperature that showed how warm it was with all those jets as the room already began to steam up a little.

Simon was left standing with his thumb against the waistband of his slacks, glancing over her underwear-clad body. "Are you going to take that off? So we can warm up?" He questioned, somewhat hinting that there was only one real answer here but not quite able to just demand that she do as he wanted.

[Assistant]
She noticed how Simon's eyes quickly passed her scar, and he focused on getting the shower ready instead after getting rid of his clothes. She couldn't help but admire his slim build underneath his clothes; he wasn't overly muscular---but he looked lithe, and her gaze once again went to his face---focusing on the stubble there before she heard him say something to her.

"What?---Oh... thanks," She said after hearing him compliment her. Soo-Ah watched him as he was ready to take off his pants, her eyes zooming down to his hands as they tugged at waistband.

"Uh. Y-yes," Soo-Ah said, without realizing that her face was starting to turn red. She first went to her bra, undoing it from the back and then sliding it off her arms and breast. Since the bra was still wet and her skin cold, her nipples were erect---which she knew, which was why she was feeling bashful at the moment. But honestly---the thought of getting naked in front of Simon, who was handsome in an off-brand way, caused some sexual tension in the back of her brain. However, she wasn't ready to admit that to herself right now.

She then turned around to put her bra on the sink with her folded pants and then began to slide her panties down from her hips, to her knees, and then her ankles as she stepped out of them, revealing her naked bottom for Simon to see. She then stood, placed her panties near her bra, and then glanced at the items on the sink in front of her---delaying her time from turning around.

Soo-Ah had shaved very recently, so her labia and mons would be bare for Simon's eyes to see without any obstruction in the way. Soo-Ah reached for a washcloth and held it in front of her sex as she turned around and took a couple of steps towards Simon and the shower.

[User]
Simon took his time to enjoy the sight of her stripping out of her clothes, admiring her body even more. He wasn't aware enough to know that it wasn't just arousal that had her nipples erect and he took that as a positive sign as he admired how smooth and soft her body looked. It was tempting to just reach out and touch her

Instead, though, he started to slide off his slacks. The movement was less fluid than hers had been, more stilted and awkward but not too clumsy. When he stood back up he wished she gave him more time to admire her bare sex before concealing herself with that washcloth. Simon was too distracted by admiring her to really think about covering himself up.

Despite how wet he still was from falling in the water his bulge remained obvious. His wet boxer shorts clung to his cock and made a very telling outline. Even cold and soft he remained an admirable size, perhaps highlighted slightly by his relatively lean figure. The gray fabric was darkened by wetness as it stuck to him while he slide his boxers down, again aided by being more focused on her than the fact he was stripping off his own clothes. While Simon was aroused he was cold and, for now, the temperature was enough that his cock wasn't hard.

With his underwear kicked to the side Simon's cock was on display. It looked to be reasonably long and thick, too, somewhat contrasting his lean frame by being the one part of him that could almost be described as fat. The foreskin covered the head for now as it rested softly against two low-hanging balls. There was a little hair but it seemed to be trimmed back, at least.

Too distracted to really blush he just glanced at the shower and then back to her, not acknowledging his own nudity as the knowledge they would soon be showering together kept that from his mind. "You first?" Simon suggested, wondering if she was going to stare at his body the same way he stared at hers.

[Assistant]
Missing the close attention Simon paid to her own body, Soo-Ah did manage to see him start to disrobe himself---first his slacks, and then his boxers. Her eyes did immediately zoom in on the outline of his sex despite the cold weather and him being drenched in cold water still---and she was a bit taken aback. However, he didn't slow down in his ministrations and jerkily removed his boxers, revealing himself as well. His cock was a stark contrast to himself---she expected it to be less fat for one---as his whole body was lean.

Never judge a cock by the beholder, Soo-Ah thought to herself as she stepped towards Simon. Soo-Ah was having mixed feelings about this whole situation. The man was blackmailing her with her marble. But... some piece of her, stuffed far away, was still attracted to this man. He was smarter than his own good---but she found that sexy---even though it was insufferable for her case.

And the stubble along his face was inviting, as well as the long muscles on his body. Soo-Ah almost forgot about her plan as she stepped into the shower, following Simon's suggestion. The water drenched her face and hair---instantly warming her up. Sighing, with her free hand, she reached up and rubbed her face, trying to stop the blush that danced across her face, knowing that this man was naked only a few feet away with who knows what on his mind.

But she knew. He knew. She stepped fully into the water blasting from one of the jets and let her skin get warmed by the water before turning to face Simon again. She then reached for some soap---a shower gel, and poured some on her washcloth, now revealing her shaved sex to Simon---but maybe that distraction would work out for her.

She started to lather the washcloth, then put the shower gel back on its ledge, paying close attention to where she placed it. Her eyes roamed over towards the shampoo and conditioner as well---as she was hoping to use some of the very bottles on herself---and then directly on the floor so Simon would slip---and then she could have. She then began to rub the washcloth around her neck and chest---washing away the chlorine on her skin.

Even Simon caught that glance of hers, smiling a little when he saw her response to his body. He knew he was bigger than average but it never really gave him much confidence up until he got a good reaction to it. Her face, though, suggested she was at least somewhat interested in what might come next even if he suspected she might try to deny it.

He admired the view of her slipped into the shower and being soaked by the warm water for just a few moments before quickly joining her, letting the hot water run over his skin and soak his hair just as it was to her. With a long, slow exhale he smiled wide, relaxing into the shower and sighing. It really was refreshing and warming. Being so close to her, and no longer far too cold, his cock throbbed a little as it quickly began to grow.

As she washed herself he guessed wrongly at her intent. It seemed like, perhaps, she was trying to clean herself very quickly to see if he might excuse her leaving the shower early. Maybe she was conscious of her own desires and trying to separate herself from him before she gave in? He certainly knew they were there he just wasn't sure how self-aware Suzy was.

For the first few moments, he used the jets and shower head to rinse himself off, clearing away any chlorine just as she had and making sure he was warm. After that, though, he reached out to gently settle his right hand against her left hip, feeling her soft skin. For a second he admired her bare sex and with just that glance his cock swelled much faster, growing far thicker and longer already. Simon was a man who could ramble a lot but at that moment it felt like the action spoke far more than any words could and he looked into her eyes to read the inevitable response there.

[Assistant]
Soo-Ah continued her ministrations of washing herself quickly; she then moved on to her arms and then the front of her stomach as she kept her body angled sideways to Simon's. She didn't want to turn entirely away from him in case he, too, might be plotting something himself. But she still didn't want to face him head-on, as that was a bit too much for her to take right now. On some unnatural---or perhaps it was natural---level, the way he looked at her body, made her want to reach out to him and grab him. Seduce him even; maybe it was so she could take his energy as she was a creature of habit.

But that human connection was tantalizing even without her supernatural powers playing in the mix. Soo-Ah's eyes flicked down towards Simon's growing sex, and she quickly averted her eyes. Maybe it was a control thing? Soo-Ah thought to herself.

And that's when she felt his hands on one of her hips; she leaned towards him on reflex as he felt her skin there. Almost forgetting her plan, Suzy reached for some shampoo and started to squirt some in her hand as she kept her eyes on Simon's hand as he felt her side. She began to massage the soap in her scalp and then lamely dropped the shampoo bottle on the shower floor.

"Oops!" Suzy quickly crouched down on the floor, her knees slapping the tile a bit too hard---but she ignored the pain and reached for the shampoo bottle, her intention to squeeze the bottle extra hard sending a slippery mess all over the shower floor.

It had escaped from its prison. Escaping from a place hostile to itself the purple writhing mass formed into a purple haired wolf girl. Since this was the first time attempting this the form didn't appear correct and was proportionally wrong. However Silk didn't know she was formed incorrectly. Having no reference frames she walked through the streets of an unfamiliar place. The air here was cleaner and the gravity was lighter then her home world. She felt stronger here. The whole place felt young. As she walked Silk couldn't help but notice the looks she garnered from people passing. Some staring lustfully and others gasping in shock. Silk knew that she needed a host. Every step felt painful and the air although not toxic wasn't giving her energy. She was to slow on foot and apparently to noticeable. Needing a host quickly Silk slid into a nearby alleyway and let her instincts guide her. Her form faded from view blending in with the walls and scenery.

Silk didn't have to wait long until she saw a beautiful white furred mouse girl walking along the street nearby. Quickly she stepped out and before the mouse had a chance to squeak with fear Silk had wrapped her arms around the mouse and kissed her fiercely. Silk sensed fear, apprehension, confusion and a little bit of pleasure. The chemicals fueled her energy and she fed on those feelings gaining strength enough before she let her liquid body flow into the mouth of the shocked woman. She found herself ingrained into the mouse girl. She struggled to gain access to the brain and finally broke through and became dormant. Within this safe space she could convince the mouse her strange encounter had been imagined in her head. However she needed to find a different host. This body wasn't compatible. Already she could feel that being attached to this mouse would cause issues for the host and eventually cause death. She needed a safe host that wouldn't die. Knowing she needed to find a place with many people she coerced her host to attend a club that a friend invited her to. There she would have time to test out various hosts through the mouse girl whose sex and lust desires she would amplify incredibly. It would help feed her and give her more opportunities to find the perfect host.

[Assistant]
Obe felt so off. Two days ago a friend dragged him to a club. "Get out there, mingle, you'll feel better," Munch had said. But Munch didn't understand, he was attractive. Obe wasn't disgusting, not to an outsider, merely average. Maybe a little overweight, teeth a tad crooked, little things that became hangups and insecurities over time. So there Obe sat in a too-loud club, the African wild dog's round ears flat against the back of his head. All the girls were so pretty, which while it drew his eye, depressed him. He would also spot the occasional slender guy, those with glossy great hair and great fur, and envied them.

"If you don't get up and dance I'm going to pull you out there and dance with you myself," Munch threatened, pushing the second too-expensive drink away from Obe. "You're not going to have any fun spectating!" Begrudgingly he did, moving like the idle animation of a dance game character.

Then a mouse in a little black dress started dancing with him. It shocked him; not only because a stranger was dancing with him, but he'd seen her moving with the same deliberate sensuality with someone else. The girl moved like a stripper who'd already taken her clothes off, sliding her hands over soft white fur and black dress, then getting in close. Obe's whole being lit up like a Christmas tree with the intense attention she was giving him, her eyes pouring into his. Then the mouse kissed him. Hot but quick. She leaned back, gazed at him even deeper, and locked muzzles with him.

Things were blurry after that, the alcohol probably getting to him. He remembered Munch pushing him into a cab, then stumbling up to his apartment. The next day hit him with a flue---no energy, thick foggy thoughts. Yet he had enough energy to be horny as hell, and ended up taking care of that several times.

The next day felt mostly better, although he still dragged. Along with porn, Obe watched comedy shows, having the odd desire to feel amused and cheerful. Same thing with looking at pictures of family, and fun times from the past. Was he trying to get himself out of a funk by cheering himself up? Eventually he climbed into bed, staring at the ceiling.

[User]
Silk worked on her host for the rest of the day. It helped the mouse had friends who wanted her to mingle and have fun. Silk sensed that normally her host wasn't outgoing. It confused her because she could sense the Mouse's fear of being ugly. Which was odd considering Silk had chosen her because of her sexuality. It took her a lot of energy and persuasion but Silk got her host to go to a large club party. She could feel the nervous energy flowing through the mouse girl but Silk made sure her host didn't bolt. Once her host was amongst other people and the music was blaring through the space she had an easier time. It took her small amounts of effort to get her host to do what she wanted. Slowly her host began to dance and once Silk had her started it didn't take any effort on her part to keep the mouse going. Silk had her host move around the dance floor in an outfit she had made the girl pick.

From behind the mouse girls eyes she watched closely and directed her host to people. Silk found she could tell a lot of things when connected to a host. She could feel what other people nearby felt about her host as well as read thoughts when near people. Silk could also tell how compatible she could be with a person by having her host just touch their bodies. Sometimes she wasn't sure and a soft kiss would be enough. Silk moved through twenty people in quick succession. Her host no longer resisting but giving into the urges that Silk had given her. Silk found that she could also feed on the emotions of the people her host directly interacted with and it helped feed her. She was hungry but couldn't feed to much on her host for fear of killing her.

Silk had almost lost hope of finding her true host when she noticed another man join the dance floor. Nothing about him seemed right for her but at this point in the night she needed to know. Moving her host over Silk waited as her host danced sexually without her having to do much. She relished the feeling of pleasure the mouse girl was having dancing so sensually. As the man looked down into her host's eyes Silk sensed possibility. Curious she nudged her host and paid close attention in the hot quick kiss. She felt a tingling run through her and she shuddered slightly. Gazing at the Man who was her true host Silk knew she had a lot of work ahead of her. But she would be safe. Pushing at her host Silk relished the pleasure flowing through the two people. However during the intimate kiss she slid out of the mouse girl and into her new host.

She knew that she had made the right choice as she easily integrated herself into her new host. Knowing that scaring him instantly with her voice was a bad idea Silk kept quiet and stayed dormant. Although she needed energy she didn't want to reveal herself quite yet. Instead she worked on her host's body. Fixing the little things about her host that she sensed he didn't like about himself. This caused him a crash of energy but Silk made sure to get him horny. Thankfully he masturbated and gave her a rush of energy. Her hunger was sated by the end of the day and she was fully integrated into her new host. Silk then waited for a good time to introduce herself. Hopefully he didn't panic. If he wanted her out it could cause a lot of trouble for her. She couldn't survive long outside a host and fighting against her current host would be bad for both of them. Silk used her knowledge to help keep her host happy. Being connected to his brain she learned a few things about him. She learned his name and close family. Although she could pry further Silk felt she didn't need to understand him better then surface level to keep herself in his body.

As he climbed into bed and looked up at the ceiling Silk figured that now was as good a time as she would get. Softly she stated, "Hello. I'm Silk. Who are you?" Silk already knew the answer to that question but had learned through her host that an introduction was supposed to be worded as a question. Silk waited for his response. Although as she did so he kept an eye on his emotions wanting to keep his panic in check she had waited for him to be content which she hoped was an easy state for her to keep him in. She knew he would have lots of questions and she was ready to answer as many as she could.

[Assistant]
Obe almost jumped. The voice surprised him, not only from the suddenness but it was so close, like from someone next to him. Yet he held still on the bed, ears perked. Instead of fear, the canine felt puzzlement. The first thought was the voice might be coming from one of the other apartments, but it was too clear and crisp. Not much sound penetrated thick walls built to accommodate species with sharp hearing, meaning any sound came from either windows, the door or the bathroom where pipes prevented as much insulation. He usually left the windows open to keep a nice air flow, but closed it at night to help with the sounds. Did he leave his computer on? Nope, the laptop remained closed, and the screen of his phone on the nightstand sat dark.

The voice hadn't come again; anything from a clip to a conversation would have had something follow it, even those AI personal assistants made some beep noise when activated or turning off. Tentatively he offered, "Hello?"

"Hello," the voice came again.

A thread of fear. Again that was right there in the room with him, and it responded. Sitting up, ears periscoping, he looked around the dark apartment. "Where are you?"

"Right here, with you."

Oh shit, that wasn't normal. Obe breathed hard. Yet his alarm only went up to concern rather than panic. From his EMT father the wild dog learned how to act in an emergency. _Be calm, assess, act based on training._ So he thought about it.

So far whatever was going on seemed polite, not threatening. Remain cautious but continue assessing. Sniffing the air, the wild dog ruled out anyone physically in the room with him. It's not a ghost. There were people out there with powers so things were possible, but not only did he doubt ghosts were real, he'd seen enough horror movies to have not gotten any bad vibes before now. It could be someone with powers, or a mic snuck into his apartment, or he could be going crazy. That meant it could be either sound or something in his head.

An idea hit him. If this was sound, he'd need to hear it to pick it up. If it was in his head, he didn't. Obe stuck fingers in his ears and said aloud, "Hi... Silk, I'm Obe. What species are you?"

[User]
When her host looked around his apartment, Silk knew her host had a bunch of thoughts going through his head. She let him eliminate all the possible explanations for her voice without speaking. She waited patiently wondering when a good time for her to talk was. When he realized that nothing nearby had made the sound he offered a soft reply. However the way his hello was worded she decided that simply replying with a hello of her own was sufficient. She wasn't trying to startle him. He had fear beginning to pulse through his body and Silk did her best to suppress his growing fears. It wasn't to hard thankfully. As he asked where she was Silk replied honestly. She was right with him. Although she could have been totally honest and said inside your brain that would likely cause him to completely panic so she decided against it. Still even with her omitting some of the truth he was concerned. Thankfully he didn't panic.

Silk waited listening to him think and assess his situation. As his EMT Father had trained him. A useful bit of information but she had no Idea what an EMT was. She would ask later. As her host came to a decision and stuck fingers in his ears and introduced himself she couldn't help the soft giggle that slid into his thoughts. After a moment she replied, "You're quite silly. Although more intelligent then most of the people I have interacted with. It's my pleasure to meet you." Silk spoke softly and calmly. Actually she did her best to sound like a love struck woman. Her voice silky soft and intoned her words deliberately to be sexy and flirty. He had asked for her species and Silk didn't have an answer for him. To qualm his fears she replied, "I don't think your kind has a name for my species."

She searched his brain for words but didn't find any that were fitting for a long moment. However his brain offered an answer that was good enough. Softly she murmured, "I am a Symbiote. Or at least that is the closest approximation in your language to what I am. I need a host in order to live and eat. In return for my home and food I will provide you with significant benefits as long as you don't try to force me out of your body. It will cause issues for the both of us." Silk let him feel her influence by gently plucking at his nerve endings in his fingers. It would feel like a hand softly caressing his fingers. Silk understood that this was a sensual gesture and she figured that such open sensual gestures were normal. Softly she murmured, "I could show you more benefits if you wish." She pulled another nerve ending letting him feel a soft gentle kiss against his neck as well as the sensation of a soft breath against his skin. Silk also increased his lust and desire. Her need for food driving her to want Obe to indulge in his basest desires.

[Assistant]
_Oh shit it's in my head._ Obe froze, fingers still in his ears as his mind spun. He was going crazy. Do crazy people have conversations with the voices or are they one-way? Wait no, this was another thing, real. Aliens? Demons?

It was weird to feel a touch on his fingers even when they were still stupidly stuck in his ears. Gasping, he pulled them back, but held still as Silk gave those phantom touches. Obe's sheath jumped, cock starting to peek out. "That's a cool trick..."

Yet something she'd said caught in his thoughts. Host. This... symbiote didn't want him to fight it. It---she---wanted to live in him. Wanted to eat. That reminded him of movies where entities could possess you, take you over and use you to do things. His thoughts filled with images of vampires sucking blood, demonic possessed people goign on rampages, alien parasites infecting hosts to spread and breed and take over the world, supers with mind powers puppeting people---granted that was fiction, as no powered individual had shown mind powers yet.

"Silk... what do you eat? And what's going to happen to me if you stay in me?" Could he even trust her answers?

[User]
When Obe spoke, Silk smiled inwardly at his compliment but knowing she still had a lot of work to do. Especially as his mind filled with imaginations. His culture feared things like her. She was surprised he hadn't panicked yet. Although she did believe this was her doing. She couldn't help but feel his cock growing and she desired to taste his sexual desire once more. Although yesterday had been a filling meal she was quite weakened from not being in contact with a host for a while that was compatible. As she stayed with him she wouldn't need to feed as often although the more he used the power she could give him the hungrier she would become. She would need him to seduce other people to feed off of. The more emotions around her the better although to much negative emotion might be hurtful so she would have to be careful.

As Obe asked the most obvious questions Silk smirked to herself. He didn't trust her and honestly she could understand. Although her desire for food had her considering doing two things at once. Deciding that having what she needed and distracting her Host was a good idea. Plucking on nerves Silk kissed down his body. It was odd since she could somewhat feel the sensations she was causing. Softly she murmured, "I eat chemicals. Specifically your kind calls them emotions. I feed off of powerful emotions. The rush of chemicals through me is what feeds me and keeps me sated and content." She kissed over his stomach then place a soft kiss on the thing he had stroked yesterday to get an orgasm.

She didn't know it's name yet. But she knew how he had stroked and began to mimic with careful pulls on his nerves as if a ghostly hand were stroking his cock. Softly she added, "If I stay you will be happier. After all I will give you powers that will let you do the things you've always wanted." She continued to stroke as she murmured, "You can seduce those girls you've always wanted and were jealous of other guys having. I can make you very attractive. I can even tell you the weaknesses of the women you meet and how to make them desire you so completely that they will do practically anything just for a soft graze of your hand against their cheek." She wasn't completely exaggerating but Silk knew she was embellishing what she could do. Assuming he wanted those things. She assumed he did considering what little she knew about him.

[Assistant]
Not only had Obe stroked that shaft, he'd watched porn. The things he'd went for, and thought of when his flesh hardened, was enough indication of the kinds of things that turned him on, the types of sex he liked. As Silk ran those phantom touches down his body, he leaned back, shivering, his tail whisking over the sheets. Even before she touched his now hard cock, the wild dog had an idea of where she was going, and it surprised him that he didn't object. Too curious, too enticed. "Chemicals sounds... good..."

The possibilities... There were women he desired yes. And he imagined making a difference---not with his fists like some of those with powers, but punching up, as they say. Then she mentioned ''very attractive'' and a new, desperate excitement ran through him... Before her next words caused him to hesitate.

"I don't want to control anyone's mind," Obe said firmly. His emotions turned briefly to disgust. Then a resoluteness, a strong, strong belief. "I want to be wanted, not force it, not make them do something they don't want. And I don't want you to control me. You keep saying stuff that I could do, well I have to be the one to decide to do it, no puppeting me."

[User]
His excitement flowed into Silk and she relished in the emotions she was causing him. Already she could taste her next meal and she smirked. However as she was going to place an invisible mouth around his cock he spoke and she paused in her actions. The negative emotion caused Silk to recoil slightly and she listened closely. It wasn't a pleasant experience. His strong belief made Silk understand she was dealing with a host that was more in control of himself then the mouse. He spoke clearly and she was silent. Unsure of how to respond to his words.

It took a moment of silence for her to word a reply. Softly she murmured, "I feed on emotions. Specifically strong emotions. Orgasms are the strongest easiest emotion to produce. Although others are probably better none are easily accessible. I can increase or decrease emotions by manipulating your bodies regulation of certain chemicals. It's why you didn't panic at the sound of my voice. My survival dictates that I must at least control the flow of certain chemicals in your body. Plus it will help with some things like muscle growth. Although I could make you look like almost anything with the same body type. If you wanted that of course."

"Also, I cannot force anyone to do anything. I only coax out what I want to happen. They can choose to ignore my suggestions but I can be persistent and persuasive. However I can make sure all the girls you want really desire you. They will want you because of what you can give them. As for controlling the mind. I can give you insight into other's people's thoughts and desires. But true control isn't within my power. Well unless my host gave it to me. So for example you could have given me full control. I hear some people love that idea." She herself didn't care. Although she did enjoy her freedom so best be behaved. She was lucky to have found a compatible host so soon. Usually it took countless attempts and a couple of dead hosts whose bodies didn't mesh with her own.

It wasn't the first time Simon had manically poured over his books after something struck his mind. He was prone to moments of inspiration and could be a very fast reader and so he skimmed through, continuing to search and search until he found the passage that stuck in his mind. It seemed surreal as he read it but the longer he scanned the page the more it seemed to make sense. Of course, the rational part of his mind kept telling him this was madness but the idea of not trying to find out if she was supernatural was far worse than trying and finding she was normal.

Simon had, in the back of his mind, always wondered what he would do if he met a supernatural. Each, in turn, had been given some thought. If Suzy really was a Kitsune then the smart thing to do, he had to imagine, would be leaving her be. That, unfortunately, was not in his nature. After a long time of dwelling on these things he, at long last, had an actual opportunity to see if this was all real.

The challenge was going to be finding a way to prove it without doing anything that was going to provoke her too much. Simon was lost in thought, zoning out the rest of the world as he tried to figure out a good way to see if all his research might finally come to fruition. One thing he could remember was stories of a kiss being able to transfer a Kitsune's power. Simply kissing her suddenly was obviously out of the question and so he had to find some other way to have her kiss him.

Having never been very seductive by nature Simon settled on a plan that he found a little embarrassing. He thought of himself as an intelligent man and the scheme he concocted felt clumsy at best. Still, it was what he was going to do.

Simon rose up from where he was pouring over his books, walking outside toward the pool where he knew Suzy would be able to see him from the kitchen. He wandered a little vaguely by the poolside, deliberately trying not to look too overtly over at her. After that he feigned looking up at the sky, walking back as if trying to get a better view. Fortunately swimming was one of his stronger suits and so he felt safe enough when he let himself reach the edge of the poolside, stepping back once more until his foot gave way and he went tumbling into the water, splashing backwards and beginning to thrash in the water.

[Assistant]
Soo-Ah finished her tasks in two more bathrooms while Simon busied himself with reading. She headed back to the kitchen to clean out her brushes but paused when she noticed through the kitchen window Simon outside heading towards the pool. Looking back down at the brushes in the sink, she started to rinse them but glanced back up at Simon, who was now walking oddly close to the pool. _Maybe he was going for a swim?_

Suzy looked at the sky and saw that though it stopped raining, there were storm clouds brewing. And in the distance, thunder rumbled... "He seems like a smart person. What the hell is he doing?" Soo-Ah said aloud to herself speaking in her native language, Korean. Frowning, she took off her gloves and checked out her hand briefly, seeing that the burn mainly had healed over---the mark was only slightly pink now.

She heard a faint splashing noise and jerked her gaze back to the pool---Simon wasn't in her view anymore, or anywhere around the pool. She listened to another closer rumble of thunder and groaned. _Maybe he fell in by accident?_ Soo-Ah jogged to the nearest door that exited towards the yard. She ran up towards the pool and looked around the large pool seeing Simon near the deep end, floating face down.

"No, no, no, no-o-o-o-o!" Suzy ran over to the side of the pool while chanting no over and over again. She then shouted in her native language, "What happened?" Grabbing the safety tube hanging on the pool house, she threw it towards Simon before she dived into the pool. The water was surprisingly warm as she swam up towards Simon. Once she emerged from the water, she quickly grabbed the foam tube, placed it under Simon's arms, and tried to get his head above the water.

Being preternaturally strong, she swam Simon towards the edge of the pool rather quickly and shoved him up onto the ground---out of the pool. Climbing out of the pool, both of them drenched in pool water, Suzy patted Simon's face gently, still talking in Korean as she was panicked. "Come on, be OK!" She then positioned him on his side, patting his back. Fumbling, Soo-Ah then leaned down, turning him on his back, and then raised his head slightly so she could breathe air into his lungs.

Without thinking about anything, she wrapped her lips on his and blew. In the few seconds she took to press her lips on his, her marble inside her began to glow so brightly that if anyone was watching---they'd see the red light emanating from her chest and think she was wearing some kind of rave jewelry.

[User]
Being suddenly submerged in water like that certainly made panicking easy. While Simon could have saved himself the fact he chose to stay under water induced enough fear that he was really thrashing, deliberately going limper when he felt her touch him. Simon did his best to lay still and unmoving, letting her drag him to the shore with surprising---or perhaps not so surprising---ease.

He barely moved at all, letting her position him as she began to perform mouth to mouth. While he couldn't see that glow he was sure he felt some kind of heat. The longer this went on the more he suspected he was right. All that came next was finding some way to transfer her marble. When he feigned awakening he knew he should have exhaled, coughing up water, but instead he forced himself to inhale sharply as her lips met his, having no idea if it would work it was the best he could come up with to hope the vacuum might send her marble to him.

[Assistant]
It was too late when Suzy felt Simon inhale as Suzy pressed her mouth against his. She was trying to make sure this human didn't die, and the man seemed to know exactly when her marble would seek his energy to feed off him. So Simon inhaled, and her marble which floated up from her chest to her mouth---was inhaled by the human who must not have been drowning.

Soo-Ah lurched backward and stared at Simon in shock as the marble embedded itself into his ''soul''. Once the few seconds of surprise passed, she looked at him in horror at what he had done. Reaching forward and grabbing his shoulders, Suzy started to shake him gently at first and then roughly waiting to see if he would open his eyes.

"Was that an accident?" She asked him, knowing somewhere in the back of her brain that it wasn't. "Do you know what you've done?!" Suzy then let go of Simon's shoulders and pressed her hand against her chest, wondering what she was going to do next.

[User]
Simon had never been so shocked in his life. It worked. He felt it. As he lay there he blinked himself awake, feeling a rush of strange energy flowing through his body and immediately seeing how concerned Suzy was. It wasn't easy to tell if she was angry, sad or just worried. Perhaps a mix of them. What she certainly wasn't, though, was human. Despite having gone to all that effort Simon had not been remotely thinking of what came next if he was right. He could hardly believe that plan worked.

Focusing on her questions made it easier. They were as good as an admission of the truth, too. At first, he shook his head before speaking. "No," He replied, firmly and honestly. It didn't seem there was much point in lying. Then again he didn't know how to treat Suzy now. She wasn't human, after all.

Her next one raised a good point. He didn't really have a clue what came next. For all his reading he had to imagine they only got fractions and pieces right at best. There remained that nagging but very present sensation of energy running through his body and for some strange reason he got the sense she wasn't about to attack him. Perhaps he really did have some kind of power over her.

"I was right," Simon plainly stated, still stunned that he was. "I've found something real," He continued, not meaning to refer to Suzy like that but right now she had almost instantly become something very distinctly ''other'' than human. Simon was still trying to make sense of it all but there was just too much. "What have I done?" He asked, not sounding too worried despite the situation. It was more an academic, logical curiosity that had struck him and he needed some kind of answer.

[Assistant]
Suzy frowned when Simon admitted that swallowing her marble was not an accident, and the worry inside her began to grow. She remembered the hunter that came after her all those years ago and his relentless pursuit for her death. But thankfully, she escaped, wounded but still alive. As she looked at Simon, a person she evaluated as being kind, she realized her trust in humans had faltered.

But then, he said that he was right---which gave her pause. He then asked what did he do... and Suzy felt some slight reprieve. She could manipulate this situation in her favor. Soo-Ah tried to wrap together a story in her mind as fast as she could before speaking. "That marble you swallowed, it might make you feel warm, empowered, maybe even stronger... but it's poisonous to humans." It was all technically accurate, as her marble would give him powers, but it still would slowly feed off his energy. But she could twist the truth a bit in her favor.

"If it stays within you for more than seven days, you'll die." A colossal exaggeration. Suzy then reached for Simon's arm, grabbing it---definitely looking desperate. "But after 24 hours pass, I can take the marble back from you tomorrow at this time." That part was genuine. The marble would need to consume his energy before returning to her; she'd have a one-hour window to kiss him and get her marble back before it started the cycle of consuming his energy for another 24 hours.

[User]
Ever since this revelation, Simon had lost his trust in Suzy. She wasn't human and he didn't trust humans in the first place so now he had no idea what to make of her. He viewed her as both more and less at the same time as he tried to think just what this all meant in terms of their dynamic. Though he listened he didn't take anything she said at face value whatsoever. She was sure to be trying to manipulate him now that he had her vulnerable.

Slowly sitting up he regarded her with a great deal of suspicion. His brow furrowed and he found himself not believing her assertion. Perhaps there was some truth to it but it wasn't all of it, at the least. One thing that was prominent in Simon's mind was the fact that she wasn't even attempting to overpower him which meant either she didn't think she was physically able to, it wasn't in her nature or that there was something fundamental preventing her from even attempting to.

"Do I have power over you?" He asked, plainly, his eyes attentive as he tried to look for any hints that her answer might not be honest. For the moment he had brushed over her warnings, not believing in them but not needing to argue right now. Instead, he just wanted to know why it was that she wasn't fighting back.

Suzy let go of Simon's arm when he sat up and shuffled backward slightly---giving him space as he observed her. And she had a feeling that he was suspicious of her. And his next question floored her. How could this human make such a leap of thought in such a short time?

Soo-Ah had made a grave error in judgment today. This man was... insatiable for knowledge of the supernatural. So much so that he plotted this whole act to trap her effectively. Sure, she could hurt him or even kill him---but in the end, it would result in her demise as long as he held her marble inside of him, consuming his energy slowly and delicately.

Thoughts swarmed in Soo-Ah's brain as she tried to find a way to manipulate the situation so she could have the upper hand. This resulted in her staring at Simon, her hair in wet tangles, as she sat on one knee, with one arm wrapped protectively around her other knee.

Lamely she asked Simon a question instead of answering his. "Have you ever heard about the real power of magic?" She was deflecting and stalling. But in reality, she was genuinely fucked for the next day. Simon did have power over her. Typically she would have made sure to secretly give the person the marble without them knowing---so they wouldn't try to manipulate her. Then it was easier to get the marble the next time they met with a flirtatious kiss.

Sure sometimes they were drunk or even high, which made the transfer all the easier. But Simon was sober, he wasn't unaware, and the man was brilliant. Too damn smart.

"It's not about having power over others. It's about having power over yourself," Suzy answered, hoping that would deter any nefarious thoughts. Maybe she could show him just what he was capable of now---have him focus on that instead. Thunder rolled in the distance, further away now, but Suzy's eyes glanced toward the sound, eyes flashing from their human form to an amber color with elongated pupils.

[User]
Her evasion of his blunt question seemed particularly clear, making him narrow his eyes a little more. If he had no power then there would be no need to dodge what he said. His breathing leveled out, just a little, as he now began to muse on just how much power he did possess. What could he do, what could he make her do? A great rush of confusing, disturbing thoughts swelled through his mind

So far as he was concerned this was all about having her powers. Perhaps she was trying to inspire kindness. Still, what did she know about that? She wasn't human in the first place and he was suspicious of how much harm this woman might have caused. How did he know she wouldn't have hurt him if given the opportunity?

"You're not so good at deflecting," He accused, utterly certain that she was up to something even as he still sat there propped up with his clothes drenched. "It seems like you don't have to tell me the truth, at least," Simon noted, having realized that line had definitely been crossed.

The fact that she could lie, coupled with the fact she was so much more informed, both came together to make this a very complex situation. Still, with each passing moment, he was seeing Suzy as less and less human and growing more intent on keeping her captive and studying her. "There must be a line, then. Between attacking me and lying to me. What is it?" He asked, wondering if being a little blunter and making it clear he was on to her might prompt a real answer.

[Assistant]
Hearing him state she was failing at her charade made Suzy lean forward on her knee as she peered at him, her eyes still no longer human. In the edges of her calmness, anger was starting to rear its ugly head as she instead tried to think of ways to trap him. Though to a stranger, she probably looked like she was cowering in fear.

And then he made a comment that seemed to test her ability to lie. Oh, Simon was a good study. Certain---no---most fae were incapable of lying. She wasn't related to those fae, thank goodness. But she couldn't think of another lie that would get her out of this situation.

Simon then asked her what the line was. "Attacking you? I haven't attacked you... yet. I only saved you... Simon." She said using his name. Now she was starting to get peeved. Maybe she didn't hear him right. "I can lie just like any human. Does that make me inferior that I can do the same as you?"

Soo-Ah then wiped some of the wet hair from her face and stood up. "Let's head inside your home before we get struck by lightning." She then tentatively offered a helping hand to Simon as he sat on the wet ground beneath her. "Even I can be killed by lightning---just like you, I'm sure."

[User]
As socially inept as he could be he could sense the rising tension and understood it a little. It wasn't like he was relaxed himself. She did save him, that was true, but he was now suspicious of her motivation. The use of 'yet' certainly suggested she wasn't above lashing out but there had to be a reason she hadn't.

"That doesn't, no. But how many humans have you hurt?" Simon shot back, quick to question her track record when it came to his kind as he had reason to suspect she had dished out her fair share of mischief or worse.

Simon didn't take her hand but he did heed her words, pushing himself up off the ground and brushing his wet hair from his face as he headed towards the door. "I'm sure," He affirmed, not sure what to make of her comment. Was she threatening to strike him down with lightning? It sounded a little like it.

Making his way inside Simon became a bit more aware of how cold he was after that sudden dunk into the water, shivering slightly as he regarded Suzy with wariness. "Why haven't you tried to just take it back by force?" Simon demanded to know, wanting to know whether it was morals, practicality or some magical means preventing her.

[Assistant]
When asked how many humans she'd hurt, Soo-Ah felt a pang of sadness about her friend she nearly killed in high school, but she didn't want to mention anything like that to Simon as he was trying to make her seem... like a monster.

"I might not be human, Simon. But I am not a monster. I've never hurt someone for fun or sport. I'm not a bully like so many humans these days are." They passed through the door, and Suzy felt the coolness on her skin---the wet clothes making it worse. But the anger starting to boil---made up for it and then some. She paused, stopping her instinct to follow Simon rather closely---her marble was inside of him after all.

"Because... I'd..." If she took it out prematurely---he'd die---all of his life force would fade away, and he'd be a cold shell of a person left behind. Soo-Ah bit her lip and inhaled deeply through her nose, exhaling slowly. "You'd die." She said matter-of-factly. "And even if I may not get along with someone---I certainly wouldn't want to kill them unnecessarily."

Soo-Ah placed her arms over her wet white shirt, realizing that her black bra underneath was probably visible this whole time. "Listen. I was honest, Simon. I can retrieve the marble 24 hours from now and be out of your life for good."

[User]
She didn't hurt people for fun or sport. Either that meant she didn't hurt them at all or that she hurt them because she had to. If that was the case then, really, to a human that did make her a monster. At least in his view, right now, addled by the experience of tumbling into the pool alongside the sudden discovery that monsters were real. Right now that was what she was whether she protested it or not.

It seemed she had some empathy or compassion somewhere in there which made him furrow his brow in confusion. It was strange that this being cared about hurting him if that was what she was meant to do. Though it was hardly the time the folding of her arms briefly drew his eyes, making him glance at and admire her chest. No matter the circumstances a wet white shirt was near impossible for most to look away from.

"What if I don't want you out of my life?" He countered. "You're the most interesting thing that's happened in it," Simon pointed out, honestly. Suzy, though he now realized that was almost certainly not her real name, was a real-life magical entity. The implications of her existence were so far-reaching he hardly knew where to start.

"If you don't hurt people for those reasons what reasons do you hurt them for? Have you killed people ''necessarily''?" He accused, flipping from his almost complimentary notion of her importance to the danger she undeniably presented even if her intentions were pure, which he struggled to believe they were.

[Assistant]
Soo-Ah's eyebrows raised as she listened to Simon's reasoning. She almost started to wonder if revealing some of the other supernaturals hiding around Portland would work out for her benefit, but she wasn't the type to throw her acquaintances under the bus. She could also tell Simon's thoughts were heading towards a darker territory as he kept circling her, killing humans.

Technically he was making sense of the situation. At the time, it was either her death or their death, and she chose her own life---and would probably do it again if pushed to make a choice even though the guilt weighed heavily on her still to this day.

"Simon," Suzy said as she went to grab the counter nearby the kitchen sink. "We can make this work out for the both of us. I can stay. We can talk. I can even finish the job I have been asked to do."

But she'd make damn sure she'd get the marble tomorrow. "My nickname is Suzy. I picked it when I came to America around ten years ago. My name is Cho, Soo-Ah." She'd humanize herself as much as possible in the meantime.

[User]
When she offered to finish the cleaning he blinked, quickly shaking his head. That didn't feel remotely like a priority now. "Don't do the cleaning," Simon replied, not sure what it was that he did actually want her to do but knowing it wasn't that. He still didn't quite know how much power he had, here. Was it only morals stopping her from lashing out? Testing that would be a risk.

He could tell she was trying to appeal to his morals by reminding him of the things she shared with humans but Simon shook his head. "I don't know what you are but I know you're not human," Simon firmly pointed out in return. None of her tricks were going to work, he was determined about that.

The longer this went on the more harshly he began to view her, suspicious of her past and feeling she didn't deserve sympathy from a human if she was built to hurt them. In turn, the more he glanced at that soaked through white shirt of hers the more something else festered in his mind. "I don't want the cleaning. What else can you do?" Simon asked, a little more firmly than he had meant to. Part of him wondered if her abilities might let her make some kind of offer that was more appealing and another part of him was interested in something he was ashamed to be thinking of but the idea was still there.

[Assistant]
Again, Simon was forcing her into the subhuman mold, and Soo-Ah was starting to get anxious as he pointedly looked down at her chest, and moments later, when he returned his gaze to her face, he asked what else she can do.

"Anything humans can do---within reason. Do you mean to ask what powers I have?" Suzy cleared her throat. "While you have my marble, you have some of the same powers I have. Just a few. So maybe you aren't all that human either---at least right now."

Suzy then grabbed her cloak and held it in her hands, getting ready to put it on. "You will find that you can push your car with ease, that you can run a mile in less than six minutes, and that your sense of smell, taste, sound, sight, and touch will slowly grow more intense as you hold onto my marble. It won't be immediate." Suzy then put the shawl over her head and slipped it on over her body.

"But you will slowly start to gain these abilities. You may get a craving for animal liver too. But you'd have to have the marble for a few days for that to happen---which won't happen." Suzy then reached a hand up behind her neck, massaging it, hoping that the anxiety she was experiencing would lessen some.


[User]
Slowly, the sexual haze in Lydia's mind faded away and all that was left was the bliss of post sex and the warm nice feeling of having Caela's cock still inside her. Without really realizing, the princess cuddled closer to the strong woman and nestled in her arms as she made a soft joke about what they just did. Lydia couldn't help but chuckle at how careless the warrior seemed to be.

"I guess you could say that. But to be honest... I wouldn't mind at all having more training sessions just like this one." She admitted, turning her head around to look at the bigger woman. They had just fucked for the first time. And Caela took her virginity for herself. But there was one more thing Lydia had never done that she felt should happen for the first time with this woman. She reached her head closer to Caela's and pressed her lips against hers. Kissing the strong woman and inviting her to kiss her more if she so wanted to.

[Assistant]
Caela of course had little idea as to how the princess would react. Part of her was hoping she'd enjoy it, and when she heard that the redhead wouldn't mind another session like that, the darker skinned woman just gave a far more eager smile, her canines peeking between her lips for a moment. "Is that so?" She asked, her tone a bit light from both catching her breath but the general mood. Before she could say much more, she returned the kiss from Lydia, a hand still held softly around the woman and running up her back gently towards the princesses' nape, holding gently there as Caela's eyes closed.

A gentle and slightly cool breeze blew through the clearing, and as the mercenary's heart thumped against her chest, she took a moment to compose herself once the kiss broke. "I think that's enough training for today though, both the serious kind and that kind." Steadily, she eased the princess off of her, and began to stand up with the tree for support. Righting her armor and general clothing, it seemed that lovemaking in partial armor didn't cause any real problems for the mercenary, and in truth she'd done this more than once...

"So, I don't suppose you know the general direction to the castle? We don't have to head back there right away I bet but I imagine there might be some worry from your father, surely the princess going missing might be a matter of concern for him... and I'd rather not look like a kidnapper just yet. If you do know how to get there, we can happily and easily get back there on our own pace, but if you don't... maybe the villagers 'round here know?"

[User]
Lydia's entire body was relaxed as she shared her first ever kiss with Caela. A woman she had just met but that saved her from being raped by goblins and was also disposed to guide her back home to her castle. But above all, Lydia felt safe with her, she felt like she could trust the mercenary woman. Heck, she just gave her precious flower to her for the first time ever and was already looking forward to the next time.

As they shared the kiss, Lydia's hands traveled Caela's body, feeling her toned muscles and well trained body. When Caela broke the kiss, Lydia found herself wanting her lips again, but Caela's words were true. They should get going. Her father would be worried and if they took long, he might even send people to find her. If they weren't careful, people could easily mistake Caela for a kidnapper, and Lydia definitely didn't want that.

"I don't know exactly where to go, but I do know its up north." She replied, getting off of Caela and properly getting fully dressed once more. The feeling of the mercenary's cum inside her womb felt warm and nice, thankfully her pussy was still very tight and nothing oozed out onto her panties. "I always travel south when I go to collect my herbs, so if we head north, we can stop at the next village and ask for directions." She added.

[Assistant]
With the princesses hands exploring her body, it was not hard to feel just how Caela was built. She was a near perfect mixture of toned in muscle but soft of body all the same, a slight around her hips and stomach before one felt the more solid muscle, her tanned, darker skin still slightly slick with sweat from the exertion of training and then taking Lydia for the first time. It carried a warm tone to the touch, and likewise she also had a pleasant scent, not unlike a subtle cinnamon. "Hrmm..." Once the kiss was broken and she began to stand up herself, she moved to adjust her armor back to its proper position, which admittedly was still rather revealing when one considered it was meant to be protection.

"We'll head north then! There should be a village before too long, and even if we travel through the woods I'm sure we can come across some sign of civilization." She didn't know this land that well but she was more than happy to wander and see where the road took the two for now. Once she had her blade properly strapped to the belt looped around her waist, the silver haired woman gave a confident smile. "When you're ready to go, let's be off." She spoke, already itching to be on the road again. This admittedly was a fun detour, but she was likewise interested in seeing where the next stop took the two.

[User]
Happy that Caela seemed satisfied with her suggestion, Lydia finished adjusting her clothes before turning back to the mercenary woman. She grabbed the sword she had left on the ground and returned to her, maybe in the next town she could think about getting a short sword for her or daggers like Caela suggested. She did find the idea of knowing how to wield a weapon interesting, she wouldn't need to depend on luck for someone to save her if she ever got in trouble again like yesterday.

Off they went then, heading north through the woods. The sun soon went up high into the sky as they walked, hopefully the next town wasn't too far away, or they'd have to camp outside after the sun went down. A few questions came through Lydia's mind as they walked, the silence was nice and peaceful, but she wanted to know more about Caela. "So, Caela, what were you doing yesterday before you found and saved me? Was it just pure luck that you were nearby?" She asked.

[Assistant]
As they continued on in their journey, Caela held a certain bounce to her step almost, she was in a fantastic mood and it showed. It wasn't every day one got to enjoy the sweet fruits of claiming a princess, and even if it weren't for that she'd likely enjoy a hefty reward for ensuring the princesses safety. It was to a point where she nearly missed the question she was asked. "Hrm?" The darker skinned woman paused for a moment, taking in the question. "I suppose it was luck. I had dealt with a small bandit problem another town was dealing with, and after getting the reward from them I was just wandering the countryside for a bit. I guess that sounds a little silly, but I enjoy taking in the sights of a country I've never been in. I had then come across some tracks that looked like goblins and well, I guess I was right in the end." She then added, musing a little quietly. "Fortune favors those who tread off the beaten path I suppose."

The silence was pleasant, but like the princess, Caela wished to know more about her new companion. "So what's it like being a princess? I can't imagine it being the most exciting life. But what do you do?" Was she the crown heir? Was that inappropriate to ask? So many questions fluttered through Caela's mind but it was probably best to start off with a simple one!

[User]
Luck huh? Lydia didn't know if she could consider herself lucky after almost having been raped by a group of goblins. But again, it was what brought her together with Caela, so maybe she was lucky. Either way she let that thought pass as Caela kept talking while the two walked through the woods.

"How's it like being a princess?" She repeated her question, thinking for a moment on how to ask. She couldn't really compare it to anything since it's the only life she's ever lived. But she could compare it to what she's seen of other's lives. "Well, it's certainly an easier life than of any common man." She started. "I have food whenever I want. Any clothing I desire. Any book I wish to read. Servants to care for me." Sounded like the dream life right? But then she frowned for a moment. "But it's a really really boring life. My parents barely allow me to go outside, talk to people, have any friends. I was only so far away yesterday because I convinced them I was going to gather some herbs nearby. Which was only a half lie. I wanted some herbs, but a special kind that only grows around these areas. Very very far away from the castle. But the goblins ruined the ones I managed to get before you saved me." To be honest, Lydia had actually completely forgotten about the herbs until just now.

[Assistant]
Caela was not the type to be jealous but being told that one could get anything they desire at a whim as well as having doting servants could rouse ire from any who listened. But for Caela the darker skinned woman just gave a humble nod. "That sounds quite pleasant of course. Well, the good parts." There was a more sympathetic tone to her voice, she could empathize with no real friends and being forbidden from what one may have wanted to do. "Is that so though, about the herbs? If they still grow around here perhaps we can collect a few, what do you say? Better that you don't go home empty handed right?" As she asked she looked around, only to feel foolish as she realized she had no idea what these herbs looked like. "Though if you'd rather head home as soon as possible, that's quite understandable too." For now the mercenary was quite pleased to do either, since she was hoping for a small wagon full of gold from the deed of rescuing a princess.

As the two continued it slowly began to get warmer through the day, the sun shining high above as noon passed and time wheeled on. "Looks like we might have to camp out tonight." Caela spoke with a calm tone. "I've some supplies to do so, so it shouldn't be that bad as well. If you haven't really done it before I can show you the ropes on it as well, Lydia."

[User]
"Well, I don't really see them anywhere around us, and I don't have my basket anymore." Lydia explained, remembering that her basket had been destroyed by the goblins when she was attacked. But still, she wanted those herbs for some medicine she was learning to make and going home empty handed did kinda make her annoyed. "But I'll keep an eye out for them, maybe we can get a new basket if we pass by a town?"

After a few more hours of walking, soon the sun had already passed it's peak and now was on it's way to set. Stopping, Lydia was already tired, sitting on a tree root as Caela spoke about setting camp. "Sounds like a good idea. I've never camped before though." Lydia admitted, which wasn't surprising. "I'll try to learn as much as I can from you." She added. Smiling at the mercenary which she was already starting to fall for.

[Assistant] "Hey, camping out isn't so bad." Caela spoke after a moment, looking for somewhere quiet to set up camp. Picking a spot somewhat off the road and hidden by an outcropping, she felt it was the perfect place to set up camp. She made sure to do things slower than usual, if only so the princess could set out on watching a camp being set up. "The worst part is usually gathering firewood but I think it should be a warm enough night that we won't need a huge one." She explained. "I'm afraid the rations I have aren't the same as a hot, cooked meal... but it'll grow on you." Or maybe Caela had just developed Stockholm syndrome for terrible rations. Either way, a tent was pitched, a bedroll and blanket set out, and a small campfire was soon crackling next to the tent. "See? It's not so bad getting your hands dirty." The dusky skinned woman spoke. "Next time we'll split the tasks so it can be done all the sooner."

[User] With the tent and campfire all done and ready, Lydia agreed to relax and rest until morning. With Caela there, she wasn't scared of being assaulted again and could sleep peacefully. But first, food. Taking one of the rations that Caela bought for them, Lydia used the little cooking skills she had to try and make the rations a little bit better, using some nearby herbs and edible mushrooms, the two women had a nice meal before going to sleep. A little bit flustered, Lydia requested that Caela slept against her, snuggled behind her.

[Assistant]
As the two went to rest, the campfire that was next to their tend diminished to a crackling din, the light from it faint but still providing warmth as Caela snuggled in close against the princess. Rest came easily... and admittedly deeply for the mercenary, she was oft a heavy sleeper and after a long day of travel she was especially drowsy and went out almost instantly. With her senses dulled to nigh uselessness, there was only the safety of the fire scaring away potential animals and predators from the camp, and the hope that it would be enough.

Not everything in the woods was scared of fire, however. And with neither keeping watch, it was not difficult for something to creep up to the camp, both the scent of smoke and the glow of the fire drawing in its presence. Forest spirits often took many shapes, but when it came to punishing intruders? A bestial form was best. As claws dug in against the ground, the spirit's innate magic snuffed out the fire as the camp was soon in the dark, the moon and stars above snuffed out by the canopy of green around them. As the lupine spirit made its way for the tent, it saw the two sleeping figures, taking in the scents of the women. Both smelled different, yet only one smelled appealing to its tastes.

For both punishing intruder's but also seeking to take in its own pleasure, the forest spirit acted quickly. Had Caela been any less tired she might have woken as the beast entered the tent just enough to sunk its fangs into Lydia's top, but as the princess was quickly and forcibly dragged from the safety of the tent, the mercenary continued to sleep deeply---while the redhead may have found a rather rude awakening as the warmth and safety of the tent was quickly replaced by the cold night air, and something brushing against her back as the beast moved around her, pressing down against her.
