The Return | Cricky [C]

Chapter XV: Venom

Ricky brought me to the living room adjoined to his bedroom. Despite all the space he has in this castle, he seems to prefer working and dining in here. There was an unconscious girl on the floor. She was the one I'd drained this morning. I left her clinging to a small scrap of life so that he could feed on her soul. Something as precious as a human life shouldn't go to waste.

Unfortunately for me, there wasn't much left to her. The human body, even one born in a magical land such as this, takes two days to replenish a pint of blood. I trained her of roughly three pints. Anymore would have killed her.

"Take her." I told him, "She's dried up, but you knew that already, didn't you?"

He smirked at me, "And what if I did?"

"Well, that would lead me to believe you want me to bite you instead." I traced my hand up his neck, cupping his jaw. He was enchanted by my touch. I could see it in his oceanic eyes. My hand shot back and tightly gripped a fistful of his hair. "Who would've thought? A demon lord becoming a blood whore?"

"A blood whore?" Ricky replied, amused.

"That's what we call subs who get addicted to being bitten. Don't be ashamed, it's very common, and frankly, I find it cute."

"It's not the feeling of being bitten that I liked. It was the way you moaned."

I growled at him, "I'd be careful about wetting my appetite like that, slut. Deal with her first."

He laughed sinisterly as I shoved him towards the body. This was a game to Ricky, one he enjoyed very much. Someday, he may tire of it, and I'll have to wonder what my purpose shall be then. For now, I'll focus on what I do best: Domination. What a great test of my own strength this has been. He's easily the most powerful being I've encountered, and even so, I have it in me to intimidate him into submission. Even I wouldn't have thought my upper limit was so high.

I observed Ricky as he drained the girl of her soul. He was a smart man and knew better than to put his indulgence on display. He fed like it was a chore, but I have a feeling it affects him more than he's willing to show. When he was done, I grabbed him by the arm and pulled him my direction. He crashed his lips into mine, jumping on me and wrapping his legs around my waist. I drove him into the nearest wall, causing a masochistic grin to stretch across his lips.

Do I dare give the little whore what he wants? Well, I might as well let him become addicted. It may very well allow me to control him in the future. I yanked his head to the side, breathing down his neck. His air got caught in his throat in anticipation. I teased him, tracing my fangs along his skin lightly. I've got a demon lord wrapped around my finger. Excuse me if I savor the moment a little too much.

Ricky let a soft groan slip when I sunk my teeth into his flesh. His blood is sweet but rich, like dark cherries. Because of that, I didn't drink much the first time, and I won't this time either. As I removed my fangs, I pulled back from the wall and dropped him on the ground. I leaned over him, grabbing a fistful of his hair and forcing his head back. His mouth gaped from the shock and pleasure, which I was counting on. His blood dripped over my lips, trickling into his mouth.

I gently placed my fingertips under his chin, guiding him to close and swallow. His chest rose and fell faster and faster as his breath quickened. Us Master vampires have many lovely tricks to keep our submissives addicted. Most vampires can only produce venom capable of turning another into a vampire, but I have many different kinds in my repertoire. The one I mixed with his blood and fed back to him will make his heart pump faster and his mind enter a nearly hypnotic sexual state.

Ricky grabbed my face, crashing our lips together. He was even hungrier than before and I loved it. We began ripping off each other's clothes as we stumbled back to the bedroom. He retracted briefly to glance at my body. Even under all the tattoos, I knew he could see how defined my torso was. He traced his fingers over my hipbones as he lowered himself to his knees.
