Hell's Consort

Chapter 124 - Insidious Suggestion

Chapter 124 - Insidious Suggestion

"You really wanted to chain me to the bed like what Apollyon had done?" Luna glared at him and recoiled, her determination to escape the Archdemon of Gluttony intensified.

"Oh, this was far from what I had been willing to do for you, Amare." Ravin had dug his fingers into her wavy silver tresses and made it fan around the Archdemon like curtains closing them together. "I hate to see anyone suffer, you most of all. Stay here with me and be my queen, and I will fulfil your greatest desires. "

Ravin was an Archdemon with no saving grace and expecting him to be different from Apollyon will lead to massive disappointment.

"I can't wait to sample your soft secrets with my tongue."

Luna held her breath as she wandered nervously about what will come after from the Archdemon's words.

"I usually like it hard, fast and savage. But for you, I'll make an exception."

"No." Luna gasped and pulled back, surprised that the Archdemon of Gluttony had lifted his magic, leaving her limbs free to move.

She didn't jump off him right away, but she chose to observe his actions for the meantime.

One thing Luna had learned dealing with men was that the more a female would try to escape from their clutches, the more they would pursue her with relentless vigour.

"I wish I could change your mind, Ravin. My sexual appetites you have heard from your demon spies and cohorts are non-existent. I am a na?ve useless wife who didn't know how to pleasure a man, much less a husband." Luna whispered in mock humiliation, hoping that she could turn him off. "The rumours you have heard aren't true, and the Feline King isn't my lover, at all. Ravin, you need new demons spies if you couldn't get your facts straight."

"You can just return me to where I came from and get someone else." Luna insisted nervously, avoiding eye contact. "There are much more beautiful consorts in the Vampire King's Harem if you want them or you could pick ladies from other Reams and bring them here for your delectation. Once you check them out and find them more pleasing, you'll change your mind about me."

He sat up slowly and gripped her arms, making her scramble into his lap.

"I've set my sights on you, Amare because in my eyes you can't be replaced."

Luna felt him pull her close, and she didn't resist.

Ravin ran his hands across his back, kissing her lightly in the cheek as he spoke. "I will have you no matter what and nothing can stop me, not even the Vampire King."

He pushed her onto her back, and she couldn't help but gasp when he moved on top of her with a naughty grin, changing their positions.

Luna inhaled the Archdemon's intoxicating scent, and she was afraid that she had already lost half the battle.

"You will be mine tonight." He murmured.

Luna opened her eyes and saw the Archdemon staring at her for a moment before dipping his head and kissed her again.

Luna could not allow herself to be seduced, or she would never leave this bed.

Although her body didn't want to, she shook her head, preventing him from kissing her.

Ravin stopped and propped himself up on his elbows over her with a frustrated sigh. "Amare."

It was a warning.

As she watched a myriad of emotions playing across his face before settling into a cold blankness, Luna could feel the Archdemon's anger when he gripped her waist hard, almost crushing her hipbones.

She almost shivered, shaking from the agony, but she wouldn't give him any satisfaction.

"I can't stay here," Luna said, pushing him back and sitting up. "I need to go."

The Archdemon of Gluttony frowned at her words and tackled Luna, rolling her onto her back again and caging her win his arms. "Stay with me, amare. I can keep you safe from any evil entities that may cause you harm. You know why?"

"Why?" Luna groaned, knowing she was probably going to kick herself for this later because she already knew the answer.

"Because I am the evil entity." He chuckled at his own joke before he reached out to tug her hair and tilt her head sideways, slanting her lips against his mouth.

Ravin's mouth against her lips was full and soft, coaxing her artfully with a seductive kiss.

Luna closed her eyelids, compelled to savour Ravin's taste.

The Archdemon's body was warmer than normal, and his kisses had tasted slightly salty.

The weight of his mouth was remarkably comforting that she had softened underneath him, cradling his stiff rod between her thighs.

'LUNA.' Luna swore she had heard the Vampire King called her name loud and clear as if it was a lightning bolt out of the blue.

When she opened her eyes abruptly, Luna stopped the Archdemon's mouth from voyaging--starting from her milky white skin down to her chests.

Luna didn't even notice that Archdemon had already torn down her top.

"Amare, your mind is drifting away." Ravin placed her lips on her neck, nuzzling behind her ear. "Tell me what are you worried about."

"You are dangerous and addictive. I don't know you and I can't just... you know." Luna trailed off, thinking that a married Empress couldn't fraternize with an Archdemon so easily without consequences even if it were just in her dreams.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you, but you're handsome, and many females would kiss the ground you walk on. Just pick them and not me." Luna said kindly, deciding not to piss off the Archdemon further, especially if she was in his territory with no means to protect herself. "Please return me to the Vampire Realm, Ravin."

"It's you I want." He bit his lip, disappointed. "Why can't you just be the one who would kiss the ground I walk on?"

The Archdemon of Gluttony frowned, slightly confused as he asked. "You don't find my body to your liking?"

Luna had just never admitted it to herself before, but maybe it was alright to tell Ravin the truth even if she didn't mean to stroke his ego. "No, your body is just fine but---"

The face and the body above her shifted, changing into a much more familiar form.

Luna caught her breath in disbelief as she stared into the familiar blue eyes of the Vampire King with his arms leaning on either side of her head.

'This was all a dream.'

"If you really wanted to come back for this bastard, I can be him as often as you like if his form would make you stay here in Hell with me," Apollyon said as he pulled Luna closer.

Luna was powerless to resist.

With her mouth gaping at him in disbelief, Luna ran her hands across his naked chest, touching Apollyon's body, checking if it was really similar to her husband.

To test him further, Luna allowed him to kiss her lightly as he spoke, "I can be anyone you want, Amare. Maybe more… so much more…"

Luna felt the lips brushing hers growing wider and more sensual as she sensed the bare muscles shoulders under her hands, turning leaner.

Slender.

She watched it with her own two eyes how Apollyon had morphed into the Archdemon of Lust.

Apollyon had turned into Luxen.

Well, this should be pretty fun and harmless if she didn't have a husband in another Kingdom.

Will the company of Ravin be much easier to handle compared to a marriage with Apollyon back in the Vampire Realm?

It would be nice if having a healthy relationship with someone was uncomplicated, but maybe everything she had ever wanted was just wishful thinking.

If she left Apollyon to elope with Ravin, can Luna finally have the freedom to be herself completely without being too defensive or would she risk trading another evil for another who was much more insidious?

As the Vampire King, Luna didn't know Ravin either, but at least she had an idea of who Apollyon was compared to this Archdemon.

The thought of staying with Ravin in his Kingdom for a few days so that she could get to know him more was tempting but Luna was afraid that Ravin wouldn't change his mind if she proposed this arrangement to him and keep her here for eternity, changing gilded cage after another.

Luxen had her completely pinned under him as he slid her hands up over her head, his intense silver eyes holding her gaze captive.

Luna combed her fingers through his silver hair, and he laughed softly in her mouth, giving her pecks and little bites.

He probably thought that Luna had already decided to choose him as her husband over the others.

The Vampire King's sharp voice rang in her mind had startled her as if waking her up from a deep sleep. "Don't let the Blood Beast seduce you. . . ."

Luna shook her head, clearing her mind clouded with irrational desire.

What, in the goddess' name, had she been thinking?

What were the implications of having sexual congress with an Archdemon?

Luna allowed herself to consider what it would be like to live forever with the Archdemon of Gluttony in his dream palace.

'Not a chance in Hell.' Luna realized.

How can a vampire Empress survive in Hell without her blood mate, the Vampire King?

Her grip loosened, the hottest flame of her passionate kiss cooling.

The giddy mood dissipated as quickly as it arose as Ravin retook his own shape, staring into Luna's mismatched eyes.

Luna felt Ravin brush his lips across her cheek as he leaned close to her ear. "Did you know what the Archdemon of Envy's witch slave from the Human Realm had sacrificed for your soul retrieval, Amare?"
