✔ How To Tame A Succubus

Prologue

When the smoke cleared, the half-naked female demon glared at me.

“On other nights, I’d be happy to entertain your wildest sexual desires. Pero ngayong gabi, hindi kita mapapatawad dahil sa pang-aabala mo. Hindi mo ba alam na busy akong nakikipaglampungan kanina bago ako kinaladkad dito ng summoning spell mo?!”

Hindi ako umimik at kinuha ang puting bath robe na nakatupi sa gilid ko. Walang-gana kong hinagis sa demonyo ang roba at tumalikod para bigyan siya ng privacy. Not that creatures like her mind flashing flesh before a man’s eyes, but it’s still good to keep that courtesy in mind.

Maya-maya pa, narinig kong humagalpak siya nang tawa.

Her high-pitched voice resonated within the walls of the cave as the light of the black candles casted shadows on us.

Hindi ako nakaharap sa kanya, pero ramdam kong nakatuon na sa’kin ang malagkit niyang tingin.

“Ano naman ang gagawin ko rito, mortal?”

I sighed.

“Suotin mo, malamang. Pwera na lang kung kaya mong kumain ng tela.”

She cursed under her breath but didn’t say anything else. My fingers prickled with the remnants of the magic I used to summon her. Sa mga sandaling ito, alam kong sinusubukan na niyang lumabas sa summoning circle. Too bad I have no plans on letting her loose, not before I strike the bargain that is.

“So, I assume you don’t want me to romance you, huh?” Her voice still dripped with seduction.

I remained expressionless. “I think it’s obvious, succubus.”

“Hmph! Kung ganoon bakit ka pa nag-abalang gumamit ng mahika para i-summon ako dito? That’s a lot of effort on your part, darling. I’m touched.”

Lumingon ako sa kanya. To my surprise, she really did wear the bath robe. Pero hindi na ako nagtaka nang mapansing iniwan niyang maluwag ang tali, offering me a good view of her breasts. Malas siya dahil wala akong pakialam kahit magbuhad pa siya sa harapan ko.

Huminga ako nang malalim at naglakad papalapit sa kanya. I stopped a few inches away from where she stood, careful not to accidentally mess up the rose petals and chicken bones I used for the containment spell. They need to be arranged alternatingly in a perfect circle around her.

Kung hindi ako mag-iingat sa gagawin ko, baka makakawala pa siya sa mahika.

And I can’t afford that to happen after everything I’ve been through.

“I summoned you here because I need your assistance, succubus.”

Our eyes met. There was a defiant glint in her demonic eyes as she sensually curled her red lips in a smirk.

“Well, I’m not the type of demon you’d want to strike a bargain with, pretty boy. Busy akong makipaglandian. Kung ako sa’yo, humanap ka na lang ng ibang demonyo. I’m sure a lot of demons in Tartarus are dying of boredom right now,” Kuminang ang mga mata niya at mabilis na pinulupot ang kanyang mga braso sa leeg ko. A few seconds later, the succubus started pressing herself against me. She whispered playfully in my ear as her fingernails started marking my arms. “Pero para hindi naman sayang ang pag-hokus-pokus mo sa’kin dito, why don’t we have a little fun, first?”

Her hands started sliding lower.

“Small, medium, large, or XL?” She giggled while imagining…sizes.

Heat and hunger radiated off her body.

Hindi ako kumilos. Hindi ako nagsalita.

“You owe me this after pulling me away from my ‘busy’ schedule…” She started taking off her robes. “I’m Vela, by the way. Pero sisiguraduhin ko namang hindi mo makakalimutan ang pangalan ko ngayong gabi…” she purred. “Since you’re my type, would you like me to be on top?”

“I’d like you to go to hell.”

“Is that so? Oh, but I can bring you heaven in just a few minutes, you’ll see…”

I caught her wrists before she could do any more sexual harassment to me. Nang marahan akong humakbang papalayo sa kanya, agad siyang sumimangot. Napalitan ng inis ang kaninang nang-aakit na ekspresyon ng succubus.

“How dare you deny me! Sino ka ba?!”

When the moonlight seeped into the cave, Vela’s eyes widened when she saw the glowing cuff on her wrist. Sinundan niya ng tingin ang nagliliwanag na kadena, at mabilis siyang namutla nang mapansing nakakonekta ito sa’kin.

I smirked and lifted my left wrist to show her the other cuff chained to me.

“Now that we’re bounded with a magical chain, you can’t do anything but obey me, Vela.” I’d be lying if I told you I’m not amused with the flames of hell dancing in her eyes. Nanggagalaiti na siya sa galit. Siguradong nagpaplano na ‘to ng mga paraan para patayin ako sa pagtulog ko mamaya.

I just angered a demon. Good.

“I’m Merlin, by the way. I’m a wizard in training… Pero sisiguraduhin ko namang hindi mo makakalimutan ang pangalan ko ngayong gabi.”
