✔ How To Tame A Succubus

[28] Vela

I've already been with a lot of men.

But none can even come close to the intimacy of this moment.

Buong akala ko nagbibiro o nantitrip lang na naman ang isang 'to. Alam ko namang kaakit-akit ako, pero (nakakabahala man isipin) inaasahan ko na ang rejection ni Merlin. Well, it definitely hurts my succubus ego, but that won't stop me from seducing him anyway. It's not as if I can have another man while I'm bound to this vengeful wizard in training, can't I?

"Don't tell me you're feeling shy now, lambkin?"

Hah! As if---

Kaya ganoon na lang ang gulat ko nang maramdaman ko ang mainit niyang hininga sa leeg ko. Hindi ko na kailangang dumilat para malamang nakatitig siya sa'kin, tahimik na pinag-aaralan ang bawat reaksyon ko. Hindi ako makakilos o makapag-isip nang maayos. Dinadama ko ang bawat sensasyong hatid ng mortal na ito.

Nakapaibabaw pa rin ako sa kanya.

Sa iisang kama. Sa iisang kwarto.

Walang ibang ingay kung hindi ang kadena sa pagitan namin at ang malalalim niyang paghinga.

Hindi ko masisisi si Nian sa pagkabaliw niya sa isang 'to.

Too bad for her, I'm taking my man.

I started feeling against him. It was such a turn on. Sabihin na lang natin na tama ang hinala ko sa size--oops!

"L-Lambkin..."

Oh, wait a sec...

"Why do you always call me lambkin?"

Merlin sighed, pulling me closer.

"Little lamb. Sweet, kind, innocent."

I almost laughed but it came out as a moan instead. How ironic.

"Everything I'm not. I'm a succubus, remember? Masama akong nilalang, masama ang ugali ko, at palagi akong malibog--aah~ see? I'm not a damsel, I'm just a distress."

"Everything you could be," he countered, now sounding serious. "You're not that bad, Vela. Walang ibang maaaring magdikta sa kung 'sino' ka kung hindi ang sarili mo. Whether you're a damsel, a distress, or something entirely different---you deserve a story, too."

I rolled my eyes.

"Tulad ng pagdikta mo sa sarili mo? I don't think you're in the position to lecture me on this, darling..."

Soon, I gasped when I felt Merlin spoiling me with butterfly kisses on my bare neck. My skin hummed with excitement and lust. Never have I ever felt this good before. I clawed at his chest, blood-red nails grazing and teasing.

"Vela..."

A hand crawled downwards to settle on my hips. His other one crept to the back of my head and grabbed a fistful of my hair, angling my face so that our gazes met.

Fuck, that's hot. 

Pero bago pa man ako tuluyang malasing sa mga himalang pinaggagagawa ni Merlin, doon ko natitigan nang maayos ang kanyang ekspresyon. And beyond the haze of lust and attraction I had, I noticed him staring at me as if telling me something he couldn't voice out.

And believe me, I don't ever want to ruin the sexual mood, not like this but...

It bothered me.

"Anong pinaplano mo, Merlin?"

But instead of answering me, he released the hand tangled in my hair and brought it to my cheek.

"Isang bagay na matagal ko na dapat ginawa."

Tuluyan na akong natahimik nang hinalikan ako ni Merlin. Alam kong walang halong mahika ang gabing ito, but it all felt so enchanting. Soon enough, clothes were on the floor. Him worshipping my body, giving in to the desires I've reserved for him. Merlin's lips were my own selfish piece of heaven. Something I don't think a succubus like me would ever deserve even in another timeline of our lives.

And here comes the awful (and cliché) part of it all...

I was alone in bed at sunrise.

"Merlin?"

Nagising na lang akong mag-isa sa kama, naglaho na parang bula ang bulto ng wizard in training na nag-summon sa'kin dito sa Eastwood. Hindi ko maramdaman ang presensiya niya sa buong gusali. Hindi na bago sa'kin ang mga pangyayaring ito. More often than not, I'd always be the first one to leave the bed after satisfying myself.

Upon closer inspection, I realized one more horror I had to face alone:

The magical chain that binded us is gone.

Merlin finally freed me.
