The Fallen Vampire

Chapter 105: Unwitting, Not Unwanted

Aveena groaned slightly as she felt the slight soreness within her body before she even opened her eyes.

As she sat up, she realized that there were more bodies in the bed than just hers.

All of the girls that had become her companions and care takers were sleeping just as hard as she had been or even harder.

They were all completely naked, and because of that Aveena could see the concerning amount of bites and bruises across their skin.

Briefly, her mind flashed back to her memories of the last time she was conscious.

In a moment she had never anticipated, Taira ended up defeating her with no difficulty and claiming her body as his own, and gave her the most pleasureable experience of her adult life.

It was slightly humiliating, but then when she thought once again about all of the things she had done with Taira and the rest of the girls it didn't seem as bad.

'I feel clean… did he bathe us..?'

Quietly crawling out of bed, Aveena went towards the nearest mirror and looked at her body more closely.

At thirty eight years old, she had often been told by her senior sisters that she had a bit of a baby face, but now she was having a bit of a hard time seeing any traces of it.

She was a mature beauty with long purple hair with a slight silver sheen and a chiseled body that would put even male bodybuilders to shame.

The horns on her head were larger and more demonic looking, making her resemble more of an ogre than a oni.

But the most surprising change about her wasn't anything physical.

It was the fact after eleven days of sex she was sitting at the ninth level of the mortal realm, no doubt thanks to her partner's dual cultivation method.

Turning around, she pulled her hair to the side as she stared at the black fox tattoo at the top of her back.

Deciding it was time to go find Taira, Aveena prepared to pull on her clothes when she remembered that she didn't exactly have any in here due to the fact that the ravenous fox had ripped them.

Her eyes drifted towards the closet and her eyes found an outfit that looked like it belonged to Enyo.

Since the friendly shoggoth was the only one even close to her in terms of proportions, she said a silent apology as she pulled them on and stepped outside.

With this new marking on her back, finding Taira was even easier than breathing.

She climbed up the stairs through their home and pushed open the trap door to arrive on the rooftop garden.

The cold hadn't bothered her since she was a child, but now she found it especially tolerable.

She could even walk around barefoot if she liked.

On the roof, she found a mystifying and enchanting creature surrounded by the snowy white cherry blossoms.

It was a large fox with eight tails and a body that seemed to be equal parts physical as spiritual.

Aveena felt her breath get caught in her throat as the red eyes of the beast turned around to meet her own.

She didn't come up here to be swept away like this without even hearing a word come from his mouth, but with a single gaze her body started to burn up as she remembered the days of immense pleasure that she had been forcibly subjected to.

Feeling a bit awkward, she dropped her gaze as she searched for something to say.

"You look beautiful."

Aveena felt her pulse quicken so dramatically that she was sure that he could hear it.

In all fairness, it was only natural for Taira to say something like that after seeing her since she truly did look incredible.

For the first time ever she put a bit of thought into how she was dressed since she was wearing clothes that were out of the ordinary for her.

A long black skirt paired with a white long sleeve blouse that exposed her muscular stomach and back.

There was a long slit on the side of her skirt that trailed up her legs like a stairway to heaven.

Her purple hair was tied in a ponytail that rested on her shoulder, exposing her abnormally beautiful face in full.

"O-Oh, thank you… if you don't mind, I wanted to talk to you about what happened."

Taira suddenly moved onto all fours and walked towards Aveena before sitting directly in front of her.

Now that he was even closer to her than before, she felt like she was having that much more difficulty retaining a sense of normalcy.

"L-Look… what happened was.. really really nice but it doesn't have to mean anything. You weren't in control of yourself and I was just being a bit too playful is all."

Taira didn't say anything but his eyes became visibly sharper.

"I'm aware that you aren't a fan of me and I am not a woman who doesn't know how to take a hint so you need not feel as though you have to take responsibility for me.

From my understanding people in the outside world often have casual relations with each other, right? Then you are free to treat me as that."

Taira suddenly changed back to normal and lifted Aveena into his arms.

"Are you trying to upset me..?"

"N-No! I was only trying to make sure you didn't feel pressured to-"

Taira spun Aveena around and pulled her body against his until her ass was pressed against him.

He swept her hair to one side and revealed the fox marking sitting between her shoulder blades.

He gently traced over the markings with his finger and caused her legs to temporarily give out.

"The fact that you have this mark means that not only are you compatible with me, but the girls as well. That isn't something that just happens randomly. There is something about you that I haven't noticed before that will fit perfectly within our family.

And besides… I do not do casual. Lying with me comes with true devotion, and now you couldn't escape from me even if you tried. The feeling of your body is etched into my mind just as mine is in yours."

"I-It isn't on my mind at all…!"

"Lying to the husband who can read your mind? You wound me terribly."

Aveena concentrated for a moment and realized that she could indeed feel Taira within her mind.

And if she thought about him enough, she could read his too.

"Alright… then I must admit that it was the most unforgettable experience of my life… I cannot stop craving it."

"What a coincidence… neither can I."

Taira's hands found their way onto Aveena's skirt and he started to pull the strings that kept it closed.

"Oh, wait!"

Aveena suddenly put a short distance between herself and started trying to get her tall body into some sort of courtesy.

Taira wanted to stop and ask what she was doing but he honestly found her more than a little cute.

"As a member of the mountain oni tribe, I recognize my failure in combat and devote myself to you, body and soul. I vow to be obedie-"

Chop!

"Ow! Why did you hit me!"

"What the hell kind of wedding vow was that? You sound like you're being forced into slavery." Taira said with folded arms.

"It is just the customary vow that my people take whenever they are about to enter a new cohabitation!"

"Your people have unsettling customs…"

"How so?"

Shaking his head wryly, Taira held up his hand and started to reach inside of his storage ring.

"I don't need any special vows or anything like that, nor do I need for you to behave differently. But since we're trading customs, I have something I'd like you to accept."

From Taira's ring, he pulled out a body manual that made Aveena's eyes pop out before she even read the title.

One look at the spine of the book told her that it was a manual of the supreme grade.

"You came down the mountain and got one of these at the auction house, so I figured you might like another one."

The technique that Taira handed her was one from the vault, a fist art called Demonic Agony.

If one were to compare this technique with the one that Aveena had bought before, the difference would be like that of a backyard pond and an ocean.

This technique was actually the favored one of a demon king from 1,000 years ago, and his descendants had been searching for it ever since.

"You…would really give this to me?" Aveena asked.

"Of course. You're my wife, and you'll need it whenever the rest of the girls wake up and realize what's happened."

"What?!"

"Nothing." Taira laughed away Aveena's fear and concern, but she wasn't certain if she found it very funny.

'They won't be too mad… right..?'
