Second Chance Mates

NON-CANON EXTRA: Incubus Ryland

AU where Ryland is an incubus and has to feed off of Landon's "essence" 😉

This is NON-CANON, which means it does NOT actually happen in my universe. This is purely a "what if" scenario for fun.

~~~

*Ryland's POV*

I sniff the air, trying to suss out a strong enough scent that would be enough to satisfy me. The scent of arousal lingers in the air, but nothing strong enough to be worth my time.

As an Incubus, my entire world revolves around sex. Not in the same way a college kid craves sex. My body physically depends on sex for survival. I can feed off of the scent of arousal dripping from other being, but it's not as filling as what comes directly from the source.

"Damn, why is the buffet lacking tonight?" My younger brother, Kai, complains next to me. "I can't catch a single scent that will satisfy me."

I suppose for humans, talking about sex with your siblings is... ick. But for us, it's completely normal. After all, it's just dinner.

"Roselyn's lucky," I huff, crossing my arms. "She snagged some red-haired guy coming out of a club and dragged him to a hotel. She'll probably be in a good mood tomorrow, once she's fed."

"Whore," Ronnie, another friend from our group, scoffs.

I smirk. "Looks who's talking. Any luck?"

"Nope. What is with the women in this town? It's like none of them have an adequate sex drive."

The pain low in my stomach is reminder enough that the men in this town also seem to be lacking. Maybe it's time that we move on, try a new city. Before I can suggest that, Kai jumps onto my back.

"Do you smell that?" Kai questions excitedly.

"Smell what?"

"That," Kai stresses, pointing towards the club across the street.

My eyes fall on a trio of humans waiting in line for a club. A woman with short blonde hair chats animatedly to a man with deeply tanned skin and dark curls. Standing next to them is a man with golden hair that curls softly, and blue eyes that leave me breathless.

He's gorgeous.

And more than that, I can catch his scent from here, and it's divine.

Ronnie whistles lowly. "Good catch, Kai. If you boys excuse me, I'm going to enjoy my meal."

We watch with baited breath as Ronnie saunters across the street, walking straight up to the blonde woman. She whispers something in the human's ear, making her blush furiously. The blonde nods her head shyly, and Ronnie pulls her away from the line, towards a hotel across the way. The two men shout after her in confusion, but they're ignored.

"Okay, looks like it's my turn!" Kai announces, hopping off my back.

"Wait!" I stop him. "Not the blonde. He's mine."

Kai snorts. "Please. I barely even looked at that one. His friend smells a lot more... satisfying."

"I'm coming with you," I decide, and Kai frowns. "It'll look weird if all three of them are dragged away by strangers. Let's just join them in the club, dance for a bit, and then make our move. Sound good?"

Kai agrees with a nod, and we jog across the street. The guys are nearly at the front of the line, which means we have to find an excuse to cut with them.

"Baby!" I cheer, latching onto the blonde's arm. "Thank you for saving my spot. You're the best."

The people behind us watch in annoyance as I sneak a kiss to his cheek, but they don't say anything. Success.
