Downfall

Chapter 11

He had no Mate.

She had always been wrong.

It was hard to tell, really, given the circumstances, but that news unlocked something in her, removed a little strain, as if a stone had been lifted from her stomach and now it felt so light.

Why did it have that effect on her? She din't care. It made no difference.

But somehow, her gut told her something had shifted.

Fortunately, they had been let out of the bathing chamber, not having to see the spectacle again, even though Lilitsa screams could be heard through the halls, echoing in the stone.

Was it really that good? Not even with the King she had been that loud. But again, he was not the one. Was a Mate that awesome, that fulfilling?

Luckily, the conversation with her friend distracted her horny mind...in a sense.

"You can do what!?" Oneth's voice shocked. "You see their language?!"

Ase brought a finger in front of her mouth. "Shhh. I think it's supposed to be a secret. Only you and Rirgen know."

The pink horned demon stopped on her way, tilting her head.

"Rirgen?" She nodded. "The butcher?" Another nod. "You're friends with him?"

"Is there something wrong?"

"I mean...he's just the sexual fantasy of half of the demons here, but no, nothing wrong." A malicious smile appeared on her face.

Is he?

"Well...he is handsome." She admitted.

"Some say he's...a lot." Another devilish look. It was in those expressions that Ase remembered also Oneth was a demon.

Heat rushed to her cheeks, as her thoughts drifted to the fact that he seemed very much like it, and what she had not seen, could not disappoint either. Then her flow of consciousness brought her where she did not want, to the memory of something else she had not seen, but almost, something she had imagined.

Ase cleared her throat.

"And...what about the King?" Her friend coughed, taken aback. "I mean, he fucks Lilitsa, who is mated...I don't understand..." She tried.

"Do you wanna know if he's a lot?" Oneth blinked, as Ase became more embarrassed. "Because he is." she nodded profoundly. "I've seen it."

She did? How?

Well, probably in the bathing chamber...it is no secret.

No. I don't care.

"That's not what I meant! Not that I care anyway." Her friend looked suspiciously at her then. "I just don't understand how their relationships works, how can a mated woman be...cheating."

Oneth laughed then, loudly, amused.

"What?"

"That's such an angel thing too say." She kept laughing. "Cheating." She waved a hand in front of her. "There's no such thing here. In the Depths, we have fun." Another mischievous look on her face.

"Fun?"

"Yep. You can have fun with whoever you like. But, to be fair, some males or females are quite territorial, so there are some cases of no fun allowed or disputes of lust...so to say."

"I see..."

"Lilitsa is the Demon of Lust, so of course she craves...a lot. Lord Koron knows that laying with the King is a huge honor, and the bond with his wife is so strong that he knows she will always go back to him, she will always prefer him. That's what a mating bond does anyway. What she has with Moros'thaas is fun, while what she is having now, is love." Another echo of a scream reverberated through the halls, muffled by the walls.
