Venno Rapter ~ A Hellish Series ~

The Angler's Regrets (Story 7 - Part 5)

With Venno:

The Velociraptor demoness walked back into the living room, having found a bottle of cream that was used to help soothe burns in her bathroom. 

She had also taken his wet shirt and hung it to dry. 

She knew that she had something, especially since she knew that boiling water hurt a lot when spilled on skin. 

Walking over to the sofa and taking a seat beside Dexx, the Anglerfish demon sitting and waiting for her to return, Venno frowned as she handed the bottle over to him. 

“Here, this is all I’ve got, and I think it’s nearly empty. It should help, though. As for the spilled water on the floor and counter, I’ll just have Slendithera clean it up for me later” said Venno, refusing to look at the Anglerfish demon, especially since he was still shirtless. 

Dexx took the bottle, nodding as he read the label. 

“Thanks. Sorry about spilling that pot of water. I guess I had just dozed off and got startled when the building rocked like that” admitted Dexx, smiling as he opened the bottle. 

Venno hummed, glancing over at Dexx and seeing that nothing seemed to be coming out of the bottle when he shook it a few times. 

Unsure of what came over her, Venno startled the Anglerfish demon by grabbing the bottle and twisting the top off. 

“Sometimes you just have to take the top off of the bottles if you want to get what’s remaining inside” muttered Venno bluntly, holding the bottle upside down over her hand and shaking it. 

Once she managed to get enough of the clear green cream out of the bottle and onto her hand, Venno grabbed his arm and began applying the cream to the burned skin, being careful not to be too rough. 

Dexx hissed when the cold cream was applied to his burned arm, but then settled down when it stopped stinging as much. 

Watching the Velociraptor demoness for a minute, Dexx began to feel his heart beating loudly in his chest once more, a genuine attraction to Venno that he had never felt with any other demoness before. 

Curious as to why Venno was helping him, Dexx cleared his throat, catching her attention. 

“So, why have you decided to help me instead of letting me do it myself?” asked Dexx, doing his best not to smirk, but couldn’t help but smile just a little. 

Venno scowled, glancing up at the Anglerfish demon. 

“Because you’ve decided to help me and keep me company, I feel as if I should at least return the favor. It was your fault that I got hurt, but I'm fine and that's all that matters” said Venno, picking up the bottle and handing it over to Dexx, giving him the hint that he could handle doing his chest. 

Venno then crossed her arms and sighed, looking down at the floor. 

“Besides, I enjoy hunting bounties, so instead of being annoyed with you every time you escape, I’m going to enjoy it instead. I’m not going to be happy about it, but I love the thrill of the hunt, and you’re going to be a challenge for me to catch and bring in” admitted Venno, having been hesitant to say this. 

Dexx was a bit shocked when he heard this, but shook his head and smiled. 

“Well, I can’t wait for our next meeting when we run into each other, again” said Dexx, seeing that Venno’s attitude towards him was actually starting to change a little. 

Venno hummed in response, the two sitting in silence for several minutes as Dexx managed to apply the remainder of the cream to his burned skin. 

“Do you regret becoming a thief?” asked Venno so suddenly, causing Dexx to jump in fright.
