Alejo- Chapter 26

::CHAPTER 26::

Buttoning my pants, I let the shirt fall over the waistband. I waltzed out of my quarters with the ghost of a smile on my lips. I was happy and obscenely so.

After suffering in silence, I’d finally had my long awaited feeding. It had put me in considerably good spirits and I was practically trotting down the stairs two at a time. My appetite had not been satisfied in a while and it was a relief for my throat to not feel raw and irritated.

Last night – or rather early this morning – I’d drunk what I could from Ria and then taken another human to finish fill me. For the first time in years, I hadn’t drained the poor sap. It went without saying that he was damn pleased to be alive for breakfast today. I didn’t even mind. I was feeling warm and full and quite frankly, it didn’t hurt that I’d been just as pleasured sexually too.

After drinking from the other human, it became pretty obvious that my erection was not going to disappear with time. In fact, I doubted any woman had ever gotten me that hard before. It wasn’t complaining. Life was getting boring now that I’d succeeded in the first few stages in my take-over plan. Honestly, a part of me had hoped to fail simply so that something different would happen. No such luck.

It was a win-win situation either way. The whole point of this plan was to fight my day-to-day boredom. All the lives lost and cities destroyed were for the greater good of my dwindling entertainment supply. After all, for all intents and purposes I already had the world. I simply did this because I could…and because there was never anything good on TV. I truly hated re-runs. Perhaps there would have been fewer deaths if someone had bothered coming up with a decent cooking show or something. I liked cooking shows.

Speaking of cooking shows, I had to admit that having two meals in lieu of one was so much better. Before I didn’t see the point, but now things were different. It was even better knowing that I had a relatively warm body in a nearby room, wet and waiting for me once I was finished feeding. Caroline had come in very handy.

Admittedly, I would have preferred to finish what I’d imagined with Ria, but that was not possible at this early stage. Especially when she was a virgin. I knew very well that though women may desire me, I was not the sort that one would give their innocence to.

I didn’t care much for deflowering anyone at the moment. All that mattered was that I was drunk off the high of my Pet’s blood with no plans of being grounded again. I grinned to myself. With this sort of happiness, it is the perfect mood for me to do something fun later. I took a breath at the idea of a new heart to join the others. A part of me wondered what Little Red would think of my hobby. The thought made me laugh.

Ares paused as he was walking by. He didn’t say a word, but there was a question in his eyes. “Blood, war and sex, my good man,” I clapped him on the shoulder, “No better combination to put a man in a chipper mood.” Ares nodded and bowed before he slipped down the nearest hallway. I shrugged and turned away.

The sounds of voices reached my ears and I followed them. Sitting in the kitchen were Carol and Ria. The two were talking politely enough but there was an undercurrent in the air. Carol was at ease and friendly but Ria was keeping her emotions in check. Despite that, I caught extremely faint echoes of them.

There was some agitation and bitterness, but there was also a certain level of jealousy and guilt too. It was an odd combination of emotions when added to the kindness and loyalty and a few other things I couldn’t put my finger on yet.

It would appear that Ria liked Carol, but the woman had pissed off the girl somehow. And despite being pissed, she was trying to hide it rather than talk it out. Very unlike what I’d come to expect from a woman after all these years knowing them.
