Sanguis Daemonium

11-Lussuria Pericolosa

Footsteps were fast approaching, and at first, he walked past us. Swiss did. His crest-less tail flailed in a aggressive, but clearly heated way. His rut was finally here. His head snapped down to me, to us. I wrapped my arms around Mari instinctively.

"What are you doing?" Swiss's voice is stained with falsity, hiding his emotions away in an effort to be friendly as usual. His tail flicked aggressively with his words.

"Mari wasn't feeling well, too many people." I said firmly. I know his game. When a new sibling of the clergy comes, someone he likes, he singled them out, finds something they have in common and builds on that. He rushed it and used them during the rut to discard them after. Cardinal got a lot of complaints and reports from this.

"Why is she with you?" His tone flares ever so slightly, punctuating his jealousy like a crucifix. Put up for all to see.

"We live together." I hissed at him under my breath. We are literal roomies. And right now, good friends. Cumulus would say Besties, but she and Cirrus claimed that title first.

"She's not off the market, is she?" He was sounding desperate, a scent of that rut was beginning to waft from him like a fan. Surely after a half hour, the other ghouls will notice.

"She is. Of her own accord. She doesn't flirt, she doesn't date, she may be a halfling, but she isn't like us. She's better." I lie. She does flirt, she flirts playfully, friendly. I think. But she is different, she is better.

"I wanna hear her say it." Swiss changed his stance, impatiently moving to keep some form of calm.

"She's sleeping." I say firmly between my teeth. I'm not going to let him use her.

I want her, I could treat her so nicely. How long has it been since she's felt the touch of another being? How long has she been waiting for someone to touch her? How long do I have to wait? She's so beautiful, she's so nice, so kind, she's a great dancer. She'd look so sweet wrapped around me.

I pace slightly.

Why can't she wake up and see me? I'm right here and available.

I can smell her fading heat cycles. Either Rain is taking good care of her, or she's suppressing. But Mari and Rain aren't marked by each other. She must be waiting. Could she be waiting for me?

I want her to wake up now. I want to feel her now. I need to feel something, someone on my lap, on my cock, ASAP. I could take such good care of her. I bet she tastes so sweet.

My grip on her tightens as Swiss's pacing doesn't let up. I take her in my arms, and I ease my way onto my feet, using the wall to make sure I don't fall. I need to get her to the room. She's not safe out here with Swiss. She sleeps for long periods and does it like a brick. It's adorable when she's sleepy.

Swiss's pacing stops and he suddenly looks like a crazed man.

"Where are you taking her?" He hissed.

My head snapped to him threateningly.

"Why is that your business?" I said, pushing out each word with intended venom. He needs to back off, "Aren't there other people you can bother?" I start down the hallway and I'm almost to the corner when I feel a firm grip on my shoulder.

"I want her." Swiss grit his teeth.

"She's asleep. Ask her later." I mumble the last part and I shrug him off to get her into the comfort and safety of her own bed.

I'm locking the door tonight. I should leave a note for Aether. He's stronger than me.
