The Fallen Vampire

Chapter 195: Spicy!

"...My lady, are you sure we'll be able to eat this?" Shakti questioned.

In front of her, there was a black bowl filled with a vibrantly red broth.

The soup contained chunks of white cubes that looked a bit firm, yet spongy. There was also a generous amount of minced beef and scallions.

In another bowl, there was a large pile of pristine white rice. It was more than enough to feed the whole cult or host Big Country's family reunion.

"I'm pretty sure." Vermeil smiled innocently. "You're not afraid of a little spice are you?"

"I... don't think so?" Shakti tilted her head.

"Oh, right.." Vermeil finally remembered that the asanbosam had only been on a rare meat diet for a long time now.

She looked down at her delicious bowl of edible magma and suddenly began to feel just a bit bad.

"Ah... Maybe I should've made you all something a bit less intense for your first meal. But my husband looked so cute when he begged me for this..."

Shakti didn't need to hear anything else.

"You needn't worry, My Lady. Since you have been courteous enough to prepare this for us, I will devour it all and not leave a single crumb behind."

It was taking Vermeil a lot of time to get used to everyone around her behaving so formally, and sometimes she wished she could just get them all to act normally with her.

But unless she made it a direct order, they would probably go back to using formality anyways. Which would sort of defeat the purpose in her mind.

Shakti left the serving station and found a table by herself.

There were several in the large dining room provided by the cult. Each one was long enough so that the cult could sit together and dine as they were used to.

But Shakti was always the outsider of the group, which is why she went to an isolated end of the table where she wouldn't be disturbed.

*Clink!*

*Clang!*

*Clatter!*

Shakti slowly looked up.

Jordan: "Hi!"

Himari: "Mind if we sit here?"

Saanvi: "W-We don't really know anyone else yet. And you're the only one who speaks English."

Shakti was staring blankly at three innocent looking human girls who had already sat down and made themselves comfortable at her table.

As expected, her usual distant and aloof personality took over before she could stop it.

"...I do not recall giving you permission to dine beside me."

The girls immediately looked crestfallen.

"...You may stay, but know that I am not one for conversation." She conceded.

He found it easier to seduce, prank, and instill people with exactly the emotions he wanted to make them feel.

Even the women he'd been married to for fifty years had yet to develop a proper way to resist him when he got like this.

Inadu never stood a chance.

"I-I suppose getting started in a few hours couldn't hurt.." Inadu declared.

"How about tomorrow?"

"O-Okay~"

True to his word, Taira didn't let his wife go for a full twenty-four hours.

This was perhaps the first time since they'd gotten married where he was able to fully immerse himself within her. And conversely, this was also the first time she had felt so immensely cared for.

The menagerie of their six bodies was intricately choreographed, and yet wild and unpredictable.

But Taira still longed for his absent love.

Aveena had been in seclusion for almost two weeks now, and he thought about her at nearly every second of every day.

How much grander would this experience be when they were all a part of it? Together as one.

"Honey... I think she's had enough now."

Lucia's reminder was an understatement.

Inadu had been breathing heavily for the better part of a day now.

Tears of ecstasy were running from her eyes and between her legs like a river of nectar.

Her body was twitching, she was covered in sweat, and soft moans were escaping from her lips even though her bedmates were no longer touching her.

"...She definitely won't be able to start on those clothes today." Enyo panted.

"So does that mean we can continue then?" Taira licked his lips.

"Another hour or so certainly shouldn't hurt~"

Before Taira could descend upon Ina with Enyo, Keran and Lucia caught him by the ears.

Lucia: "Aren't you forgetting something?"

Keran: "We had plans for today too you know?"

At the mention of their errands, Taira practically wanted to crawl in a hole and hide.

"...I don't remember that at all."

"We're supposed to be going to visit my mother today." Keran nudged.

"And my parents." Lucia reminded.

Taira had no idea that such simple words were capable of utterly annihilating his sex drive, and yet here it was.
