Episode 7:

You confess your love in a dream?

The thrum of your pulse reaches my ears and I give you a knowing smile, seeing the chill of the evening was taking its toll. I willed my own heart to work harder, letting the blood flow through me, so my body would not be cold when next you laid upon my lap. "The night has turned chilly, why don't we return to the house, my sweet?"

Your pace seems to quicken at that notion as we make our way out of the gardens and back to the family mansion. Upon entry, I went to work preparing hot tea for you, as well as warming my own drink. It would be a simple task to set one of the servants to it, but I found it relaxing to engage in such activities myself.

I settle upon the sofa and take a drink from my teacup, feeling the energy and rush from the warmed blood fill me. You seem happy to get the hot tea in you as well. "My apologies for keeping you in the cold for so long." I speak the words with a gentle smile and look upon the flames in the fireplace near us.

My ears lift and I give a wicked grin. "Such a one-track mind... if I reveal all my secrets to you, you will grow bored of me all the quicker and I will be alone."

I purse my lips in amusement at your venomous rejection of my words. "So defensive of your adoration for me... Yes, yes... be at peace my sweetness. I jest and you know as much."

With a click of my tongue, I look upon the flames once more. "Very well. Finish your tea and rest your head upon my lap. I shall tell you more..."

#

Katrina lifted her black ears and blinked up at me, her head resting in my lap. "Alice? What's going on?" She spoke the words in a daze, looking around and unable to focus on the details of the room very well. I didn't blame her shock, we had fallen asleep with our master in his bed, yet here she was in my chamber.

"Nothing to concern yourself with, my cat." I whispered the words lovingly, moving my fingers through her crimson locks and brushing one of her ears. I heard a contented purr come from her throat as her tension eased.

"We are no doubt still very much clinging to our Master right now." I gave her a playful grin. "It would appear sir Val's hypothesis was correct."

Katrina furrowed her brow in confusion and rose from my lap to face me. Sitting up on her knees in the bed with me she looked upon me. "I don't understand, Alice. Can you please explain?"

I smiled and shook my head. "We are dreaming, Kat. It seems my longing for you has sparked this."

She looked around curiously at the room, the surroundings familiar but also hazy and muddied. "It feels familiar, yet... also foreign to me?"

I frowned and nodded. "Well... yes, I'm sure it comes with time. I'm doing the best I can right now. This is my first time after all."

The black cat gave me a grin. "Ah... it seems I am destined to be your first in many ways, Alice."

"I would not have it any other way, my love." I cooed the words and embraced her. We both kissed and touched one another. I was shocked by the clarity, it felt as if I were really touching her, as if we truly were embraced. Then I felt the tingling of her life force and pulled from her lips with a controlled breath.

Katrina blinked at me and looked into my eyes. "Why do you stop? I long for you, my rabbit."

I nodded and frowned, putting my hand to my cheek. "And I you... but I cannot... not like this."

She looked hurt and confused, her ears lifting to sharp peaks. "Why? Have I upset you? Are you sore with me after all over-"

I put my hand to her lips to silence her. "No, of course I am not. Peace my sister... my love... I cannot out of fear."

"Fear?" She spoke after pulling from my fingers hesitantly.

I nodded and brought her down to lay her head upon my lap once more, gently stroking her hair and ears. "Yes, my cat. I will council with sir Val upon this first. I am but a fledgling still and what if I lost myself in our dreams? Could the frenzy take hold during our first time like this, as it did in reality? Neither of us can say. I will not jeopardize you over such folly."

"Folly am I?" The cat grinned at me playfully while looking upon me with her green and copper eyes.

"You are well aware of what I mean, Katrina." I spoke the words playfully and rubbed one of her ears. "Let us enjoy one another's company like this. We can talk the day away while we slumber."

"That sounds nice... will I remember this, Alice?" She asked me before taking my hand and bringing it to her lips, kissing my fingers one at a time.

"I'm sure I will. We will see when we wake. Once again I will need to council sir Val upon the details." I grinned and moved my palm over her cheek, feeling it warm and soft to my touch. "I have something I wish to tell you, Katrina."

The cat smiled up at me and tilted her head against my lap. "Speak, my rabbit. What is on your mind?"

I didn't buy what Val said, I'm sure he was an ancient being that had seen his fair share. However, he said it himself yesterday. Age does not mean you know everything. I would rather go at my own pace, then wait and waste the time I have with her.

My blue eyes met her green and copper ones. I smiled and shook my head gently before brushing my fingertip over her lips. "Do not misconstrue my fervor for our lord. He holds a place in my heart, but you do as well. Let me say it here and now, as plainly as I can. I love you Katrina, you have my heart, even if it doesn't always beat."

She closed her eyes and kissed my hand several times before smiling up at me and opening her eyes. "You confess your love in earnest, within a dream. How do I know it to be real, Alice?" She gave me a wistful smile. "What if I do not recall the words when I awaken? What if this is just a product of my own mind?"

"Then I will say them to you first thing upon us waking." I spoke the words proudly and blushed as she pushed my fingertip into her mouth. I winced as I felt a soft nip and she started to sup from my wound.

She took a few moments before dragging her tongue lazily across my finger, sealing it. "I will give you my answer upon waking. Amongst other things I shall do to you upon waking..." The cat gave me a hungry but sleepy grin.

I smiled and nodded. "As you will, my love." I felt a tugging at my soul, as if something told me it was time we stopped this, fatigue setting in heavy upon my body. It was as if the light had dwindled and it was time to rise.

"I suppose we sho-" I choked on my words to look down and see Katrina already asleep in my lap. However, her form slowly faded from my vision, the pressure of her head upon my lap gone. I felt tears well up in my eyes to see her fade from me so plainly, as if she were gone forever. It was an irrational fear I told myself, this was all a new frontier for me after all. Still, I felt unsettled as the fatigue closed in on me.

My eyes opened wide and I sat up with a gasp. Elias had already woken and was at his desk sipping on a hot mug of crimson. He looked at me out of concern. "Are you well, my Lady?"

I jerked my gaze around to see Katrina still next to me in bed, presumably dozing. I climbed atop her and put my hands on her shoulders, giving her a gentle shake. "H-hey... Kat, wake up!"

She furrowed her brow and blinked open one eye with a yawn, looking up at me. I felt my heart start to beat again and tension ease in my shoulders. "Thank the gods..."

My fox had now stood and moved to me, placing a hand gently on my head, like a parent would do for a child whom they were concerned with. "Alice... are you well?"

I looked up at my fox and nodded quickly. "Y-yes... just..." My ears lifted as I felt Katrina's hand move to my face to cup my cheek. I guided my eyes back to hers.

She blinked both eyes open and gave a lazy yawn, showing her large canines in a hungry grin, before purring quietly. "I love you too."

I felt my small tail rapidly flick and pushed down into her arms, shoving my lips to her own in an eager kiss. The cat giggled before accepting my kiss, wrapping her arms around me as we tangled into the blankets of Elias's bed.

Katrina broke the kiss and showed her teeth before shifting and rolling me over onto my back, pinning me down. I gasped out excitedly, the succubus in me telling me now was not the time to play dominant with the cat.

"Well then... seems I should give my Lady's some privacy." Elias cooed the words and turned to walk away.

Katrina shot her hand out and grabbed his wrist, halting his flight. "I don't think so fox... erm... my lord." She gave him a playful grin and pulled upon him as she shifted her own weight. The fox yipped out as he was pulled off center and tumbled into bed with us.

Elias grunted out as he rose to his palms, laying over both of us as we grinned up at him. The fox bit his lower lip and looked between us before focusing on me. "Alice, did you do something to Katrina while you two were sleeping?"

I gave a mocking gasp and placed my fingertips to my chest, still wearing the black silk gown I had come to bed in, the fabric clearly showing off the peaks of my breasts. "Master... such accusatory words. I am hurt at your judgment of me!"

Katrina grinned and grabbed the fox by his arm, pulling him to her and pushing her lips to his own in an eager kiss. She had on a matching black piece that hugged her larger breasts even more tightly. His large white tail began to wag eagerly and I pushed up to his chest, feathering my own kisses up his throat, moving my hands over his silk nightshirt, tugging the buttons free.

He parted from her lips with a soft gasp, feeling me take the last button from his shirt. "I've not even finished my morning drink and you two are ravenous..."

"Can't let you always be the aggressor, now can we?" Katrina gave me a playful grin and I nodded in response.

"That's right, Master... if we always submit to you, you will get all full of yourself." I cooed the words teasingly as I and Katrina both worked together to bring him down to the bed on his back, each of us flanking him.

Elias let out a bark as he was pushed into the mattress and blinked up at us, his ears lifted, his white hair mussed from his sleep. "As if I would ever display such brava-" He grunted as I silenced him with my mouth, kissing him eagerly, my small tongue rolling against his.

Katrina purred and dragged her nails down his chest, kissing gently in the wake of her nails where the thin red lines remained upon his flesh. "Don't fuss my lord... we are not at court, you can relax and let your cat and rabbit tend to you..."

Elias broke from my lips with a defensive bark. "Do not spin this as if it were my suggestion. I can smell the hunger upon both of you!"

"Fussy puppy..." I cooed the words teasingly and started kissing down his throat, feeling the faint rumble of a growl at my teasing words.

Katrina and I both kissed down his exposed chest, our tongues dragging over the rise and crevices of his well-cultivated muscles. We felt his chest heave and rise with excitement, both his hands now gently upon our heads. We both met at the hem of his silk sleep pants and grinned at one another.

"He makes such a fuss but..." Katrina's eyes drifted down to the heavy rise in the silk before us.

"Indeed..." I cooed the words and both of us took a side as we tugged down his silk from his hips, pants and boxers alike. I felt my heart pace up as his heavily swollen length sprang forth into my view once again.

My cat was more impatient than I and moved right in, dragging her tongue up his length to taste him eagerly. I followed suit and moved in to move my tongue up his length as well, feathering soft kisses up it while it throbbed and pulsed at my touch.

"You two are ruthless in your teasing..." Elias moaned the words, his hands had drifted to our shoulders, nails dug gently into our flesh while Katrina and I tasted him.

The cat gave an excited huff and squirmed her hips while moving her tongue over his head, tasting the bead of his eager precum curiously. I smiled while kissing up and down his length, my fingertips drifting to brush the base of him. "Ha... is it your first time so close my cat?"

"Yeah... the dog was impatient and just shoved it right into me last time." She panted the words and rolled her tongue against his tip, blinking as I moved my own tongue up to meet hers, then we both pulled into an eager kiss. We could taste our master on our tongues while we rolled them against one another.

Elias growled at our teasing words then let out a yip as I pulled from the black cat's mouth and moved down. I took his throbbing tip into my small mouth and began to suckle eagerly at him, feeling the pre spill onto my tongue.

Katrina watched me curiously, her own tongue lolled. I looked into her eyes and pulled my mouth away, showing my tongue rolling at his tip before pulling away. A strand of saliva hung from it before I tucked it back into my mouth.

"Watch your teeth, love..." I cooed the words and held Elias at his base, watching eagerly as Katrina parted her lips and awkwardly moved to take the tip into her mouth. The foxes' hand moved to her head heavily and the cat let out a gasping yelp as he forced her mouth down, making his tip plunge deep into her maw.

I snorted out a giggle and cut my eyes to my master, blushing and grinning at him. "Be gentle with our cat, my lord..."

"Ha... she was taking too long..." He growled the words, lacing his fingers into her crimson locks. I watched as he grabbed a fistful along with her right ear, forcing her head up and down slowly on his length. Katrina choked back and groaned against his length, her eyes watering. Her hips squirmed and feet kicked upon the mattress while doing her best to work him.

I bit my lower lip, watching him shift control and dominate the cat that started it. I felt my hands wander to my own hips, eagerly peeling my blue panties free and down my legs. I glanced back to him, my eyes smoldering red with desire. "Master... let her up for some air..."

Elias lolled his tongue as he forced her head down, the cat gagging a little as he held it in her mouth, not letting her pull away. Katrina blinked tears out of her eyes while trying to keep sucking and work her tongue. "She doesn't need to breathe... she is fine where she is." The dog growled the words, keeping a firm grip on the cats crimson hair and small black ear.

"Oh ho... should I bargain with you then, my love?" I folded my large white ears and looked upon the panting fox. I gingerly hiked the folds of silk gown up, showing off my curvy hips, letting the dog get a clear view that my panties were gone. "Though I'm sure our cat's mouth feels lovely, perhaps I could tempt you with something else?"

Elias bit his lower lip while I grinned and swayed my hips playfully. The dog gripped at Katrina's hair and pulled her off his length. The cat let out a gasp for air on instinct alone, despite not needing it. Her tongue was lolled and her saliva dripped copiously over the foxes length, her cheeks flushed heavily while she panted.

I moved in and kissed her lips briefly, tasting him on her before giving a gentle grin. "I think he might like your mouth more than mine." I cooed the words and climbed over the foxes lap, straddling him and using a hand to grab his drenched length and position it beneath me. "Ha... you soaked him, my lovely cat... I bet it will slide in real easy now...."

The look on the foxes face said I was taking too long, his hands grabbed my hips to confirm as much. I bit my lower lip and felt him force me down, my walls spreading as he plunged right in. I parted my lips in a moan as I felt him enter me fully, every inch sinking up into me until he shoved against my core. "Ha... so good... I missed you..."

Katrina chewed on her lower lip watching the whole scene, her hips squirming while she panted.

"Katrina!" Elias barked out in commandment at her. His hips already grinding gently under me while I panted and felt his length stir and bump inside me.

"Y-yes my lord!" Katrina huffed out in response and blushed.

"Disrobe your panties and come here, I wish to taste you." The dog growled the words, giving his hips a sharp jerk. The thrust shoved deep into me and I sighed out blissfully as he forced my release.

She bit her lower lip and peeled her black panties free, hesitating before padding over to him. The dog growled his impatience and grabbed her hips. Katrina let out a panicked groan. "I-I'm sorry master... I don't know what I'm doing!"

Elias said nothing and jerked the cat around to where she straddled his head. She blinked into my eyes, resting her fingertips on my shoulders. I gave her a pleased groan and wrapped my arms around her neck, pulling close to her. Katrina let out a shocked yelp when the fox shoved his mouth to her folds to taste her. I took advantage of the situation and shoved my tongue into her mouth, dragging her into a heated kiss.

We kissed blissfully, our tongues rolling against one another while our master pleased both of us. I felt his hips buck and move against me heavily, his tip shoved snug into me and grinding there. I shuddered and moaned against my black cats lips while she clung to me. His tongue lashed out skillfully against her sensitive spot again and again as she shuddered in my arms, giving in as well.

"Huff... hu...ff... w-well... we got a strong start... I guess he still won though..." I pushed my forehead to her own with a grin on my face, then folded my ears as I felt another release come to me.

Katrina bit her lower lip nodding, then let out a weak whimper, feeling him force more from her. "Haa... y-yes... he is bossy, but... he's so good to us."

After several moments the fox pulled from Katrina's folds and spoke out. "Alice, let your sister have a turn. I want to be inside both of you tonight."

My ears lifted and I nodded my head before obediently rising from his lap. I bit my lower lip feeling him pull free. My body didn't want to stop, but I wouldn't question my master and what he wanted. I shuddered and flopped down onto my backside, panting heavily, feeling a little sore inside.

Katrina blushed at the position change request and pulled from Elias's mouth, moving down his body obediently to mount him. Once again the fox had other plans and sat up, grabbing her hips. The cat blinked back at the fox before grunting as he forced her to her knees and elbows before me, moving up behind her.

"Katrina... our rabbit looks like she wants more attention, tend to her while I have you." Elias growled the words and shoved his head against her folds from behind.

The cat perked her ears, then folded them as he filled her, my own juices upon him making him slide right into the cats folds easily. "Ha... Y-yes my M-master..."

The black cat grabbed my legs with surprising strength and dragged me to her, spreading them before she shoved her mouth against my folds. I moaned out happily and drifted my fingertips into her hair, stroking her ears gently while she rolled her tongue against my sensitive little pearl. "C-can you... ngh... taste him on me?"

Katrina nodded her head while lapping against me again and again, then let out a shocked gasp. The fox pushed particularly deep with one of his thrusts and I saw her body shudder in release. I sighed blissfully, loving the view of them while she lapped at me. "Ha... I adore both of you..." I moaned the words and felt my own release coaxed forth from my cats skilled tongue.

My fox seemed to be enjoying bossing Katrina around tonight. He grabbed the base of her tail and the cat let out a deep throaty gasp. I bit my lower lip knowing just how sensitive her tail was. Elias shoved hard into her and the cat yowled out in a moan, her eyes growing wet as she panted and blinked up at me. "Who do you belong to, cat?" The dog growled the words while grinding against her roughly.

"Ha! Yours Master! I'm all yours..." She whimpered the words while he pulled on her tail and shoved into her once more.

"That's right... you're both mine..." He growled the words, his white tail whipping about, his eyes smoldering with blue fire in them. "Alice!"

"Y-yes M-master?" I stammered the words in the midst of an orgasm, Katrina having went back to suckling and lapping at me.

"You always take care of each other..." He snarled the words and shoved into Katrina with a final labored huff. The cat's eyes widened and she let out a sharp moan, his heat obviously pouring into her.

I cooed out lovingly and rubbed at Katrina's ears, even as her nails dug into my thighs while she took our master's heat. "Ha... of course Master... I will always take care of her and you."

Katrina bit her lower lip, blinking up into my eyes while he ground against her, bucking his hips. Her walls clenched and forced every drop out until she shuddered and let out a weak yelp before collapsing into my lap. "Elias... Alice... ngh..."

I grinned and closed my legs, letting her rest in my lap, stroking her hair lovingly, a soft pant still on my breath. I looked past her at Elias, he was still going through the throes of it all. His teeth were bared and his chest was rising and falling, covered in a sheen of sweat. I bit my lower lip watching him.

Moments later he composed himself and gave a calming sigh. "You two... certainly, make mornings interesting..."

"Hmm... you're so mean, Elias..." Katrina moaned the words and weakly rose from my lap to look back at him, a weak but playful grin on her face.

"What did I do?" He spoke out playfully while rubbing at her round butt.

"I wanted to be the dominant one this time... but look at how it ended up." She cooed the words and lowered herself to my lap once more, my hand returning to stroke her ears and hair.

"Guess it's just my nature. My apologies, sister." He growled the words, lazily stroking at her long black tail.

"No no... it's fine... I like you this way..." Katrina yawned and shook her head. "I think I need a drink..."

"I think we could all use one..." I hummed the words lovingly into her ears.

"I already had one." The fox barked out playfully.

"See Katrina, my love. Next time we have to pounce him before he gets blood in his system, that's the trick." I cooed the words down into her ears playfully.

The cat grinned up at me and nodded. "Yeah, let's do that next time..."

#

I couldn't help but giggle at your eager response, to the tale of the first time I and my cat laid together with our master. "Calm yourself my pet, I can smell your eagerness from here."

My lips purse and I show my teeth with a grin. "I can also hear your excited heartbeat... perhaps, we should move on. Before I find my thirst getting the better of me."

My ears lift and I give a nod. "Yes, I am aware my pet, but you need to rest. There will be time enough later, there always is."

#

I furrowed my brow and grit my teeth, trying to focus. It wasn't as insurmountable now that I had done it once, but still a lot different to do when awake. Val's voice came to me and I blinked my eyes open, sitting before him in the field. His palm was gentle on my cheeks as he stared into my eyes. "Not so hard... clear your mind. As if meditating... then when all thoughts are clear, push your will into me."

I nodded with a faint blush on my cheeks, still recalling all the fervent lovemaking we had done yesterday. I moved to clench his hand into my own and took a controlled breath. I pushed all the thoughts out as best I could and create a void of darkness.

Mind mostly clear I thought of his hand I clasped. Not of Val himself, but simply of what I touched of him. I imagined it like a tunnel cut through a massive mountain, a path to where I wished to be. I pushed my will forth and felt the darkness of my mind lift.

"Well done... you're such an adept student." The goat stood before me, clapping his hands with a playful grin on his face.

I looked around at the haze of the room, it was unfamiliar to me. A lush looking bed covered in satin and silk, a fairly modern looking stereo system and a television hanging upon the wall. The whole room looked modern and comfortable, lived in more than played in. Certainly not the den of debauchery I envisioned from an incubus.

Val glanced around and clicked his tongue in thought. "Pretty hazy and lifeless... but a pretty faithful rendition. You are talented my student."

I smiled and put my hands behind my back, giving the silver-haired incubus a small grin. "Thank you." I looked around and hummed playfully. "All this teacher-student stuff, should I call you sensei? Are we going to do some lewd role playing now, teacher?"

He laughed at my teasing words and moved to put a hand to my head, rubbing my ears and hair gently. "Tempting, but you took a lot out of me yesterday, and I have not fed since. We best stick to your practice for now."

I smiled and nodded, recalling it was not so simple as having a glass of blood for him. "Of course, Val." I stepped around the haze of the room. "Your bedroom is more modern than I thought. Elias's room is very Victorian in its style."

"I am guilty of enjoying the creature comforts of modern society, I do not offer any apologies." He spoke the words playfully and took a seat upon the edge of the large bed. The goat patted the mattress next to him. "Come sit... let us talk."

I grinned and sauntered over to my teacher and sat as he requested, only I slid myself into his lap and straddled him instead. I put my hands to his shoulders and gave him a smile. "Alright, what shall we talk about?"

I could feel the faint tingle of energy between us. His body obviously wasn't in agreement with his thoughts on matters. I moved closer and brushed my lips to his own. "I drank heavily and partook of lots of energy from a fox and cat before this. If you need a little pick me up... You may have me..."

Val clenched his teeth and nodded before shoving his mouth to my own. I sighed against his lips and embraced him tightly, grinding my hips upon his lap eagerly. My eyes widened and I felt euphoria flood my senses. My body grew weak and I pushed into his chest, moaning against his mouth while I felt him draw forth my strength.

I wanted to summon forth my own demons, light my eyes afire and push him down. However, the strength wouldn't come to me. I gave a soft weak moan as he rolled me over onto my back, breaking the kiss and looking down upon me.

"Ha... what was... that?" I spoke the words, feeling fatigued and satisfied, as if my body had been ravaged. I drifted my fingertips up to his face, brushing his cheek while panting. "Am I going to come to, with soaked panties?"

"You will..." He spoke the words gently, moving a hand to mine to grip my wrist. "The rules are different here, Alice. We can lay with one another and enjoy it as if we did in reality, but it is of little consequence. We can get what we need without having to actually mate with anyone."

My ears wobbled drunkenly and I tried to clear my mind to focus. Val gave me a knowing smile and leaned in to kiss me once more. His lips lingered on mine as he spoke out to me. "Focus... pull against my will and claim some of it back from me."

I crushed my lips to his own, wrapping my arms around him and pushing my will forth. I felt his body shudder at the embrace and felt his stamina flood into me once more. I drank deeply of him, a snarl coming from my throat.

Red filled my vision and all I could see was him. I pulled from his lips and shoved my hands into his silver locks, jerking his head back to expose his throat. My teeth flashed and I plunged my sharp canines into his flesh, feeling blood erupt and fill my mouth. The goat let out a moan as I fed on him in both ways, drinking down his blood while siphoning off his energy.

Val clenched his teeth and panted into my ears gently. "Enough... you are satisfied..."

I didn't listen, I wasn't even sure if I processed the words. I kept drinking deeply from him and pulling his life force. The incubus shivered and panted into my ears softly. "Forgive me my rabbit..."

I flicked my ears at his words then yelped out in panic as he grabbed my chin and pulled me forcefully from his throat. my teeth left deep gashes through his flesh and I glared at the incubus. Feelings of fury filled me at his halt of my feeding. "How dare y-"

He slapped me hard, much harder than Katrina did. My eyes shifted to blue and I let out a sob, feeling tears fill my eyes. His arms were around me a moment later, holding me tight to his chest. I bit my lower lip, sniffling as tears came and I clung to him. The pieces came together quickly and I shook my head. "I... I'm sor-"

"Hush." He spoke to me gently and stroked the back of my head while I clung to him. I nodded and kept hugging him, his blood spilling down over my shoulder from the wound I had left him.

We stayed like that for several minutes before he pulled my face to his and looked into my eyes. "Are you alright?"

I nodded then frowned and looked upon his wound. "Y-yes... are you?"

Val smiled at my concern. "We are in a dream, Alice. You may be able to feed on others with life force, but blood is an entirely different matter." The goat simply willed it and the wound and all the mess of blood simply faded from existence before my eyes.

"But... I could taste it..." I blinked and put my fingertips to my lips, my fingers coming back clean.

"The world of dreams is powerful Alice. Dangerously so..." He gave me a nod and rubbed at my head gently. "You were wise to not give in to temptation when you were with her."

"So there was a frenzy..." I frowned and folded my arms, looking away before shifting off his lap to stand.

"Normally there is not. However, I speak from experience within my own realm. You are something entirely different. It was why I decided to have you experience it with me, someone who is keenly aware of the dreamscape and could fight back if needed." Val stood before me and moved a hand to my head.

"Are you okay Val?" I frowned at him with concern.

"I am. I even retained some of the energy you offered. If anything I feel better." he hummed and rubbed at my ears.

"So what now?" I looked around the small room, trying to focus and make things shift into more clarity.

"Don't overwork yourself, it will come in time." The goat gave me a grin and snapped his fingers sharply. The sound echoed in my mind and I gasped out as I found myself back in the field with him, still clutching his hand.

"That was... intense..." I sighed the words and rubbed my head, looking around the grassy field.

"Indeed, you did well though. I think you're ready for the next step." Val spoke the words as he stood and gave me a grin.

"Next step?" I spoke as I reached for his hand as he offered it, stepping to my feet and wiggling my tail.

"Yes my fledgling, it's time for your first hunt." He spoke the words a bit of excitement in his voice.

I flinched and frowned, feeling nerves fill me. "B-but... what if I screw up?"

"You will be fine. I shall be with you." He gave me a nod and kept holding my hand as he turned from the field while leading me. We walked back to the front of the mansion then around to the backside, to the hillside that overlooks the city in the distance.

I frowned as I looked upon the towering buildings from here in the secluded hills. "Val... I'm scared..."

"We are all scared when we hunt for our first time, Alice. The first kill is always the most stressful." He hummed the words and folded his arms behind his back looking out over the city.

I flinched at the words and blinked up at him. "B-but... you said you didn't kill."

"I don't, I've grown and found more pleasure in the hunt itself. I am no saint though, Alice." He looked upon me and gave me a serious look. "You owe the mundanes nothing, and most would destroy you without hesitation."

"Perhaps... but..." I felt my stomach twist at the thought. "I do not want to take a life if I don't need to. Can I not just take enough and be done with it?"

Val started to pace, his tone of voice taking on a more educated one. "We are not like your brothers and sisters. If we feed fully from a mundane, we will have enough to last us well into a month depending on our activity."

I nod at his words as he continues. "You could... safely partake of one and leave them winded and fatigued. This would get you by for a week or so."

"I don't see the harm in that route then." I spoke out, feeling relief filling me.

Val wagged a finger at my words. "Consider this though... You make your kill and you slip away into the night. It will just seem the mundane had a heart attack. You are safe and need not hunt again for a month or more."

The incubus clicked his tongue as he gave me a level look. "You feed enough to get a week's worth. The mundane lives but now you need to feed again sooner. A monthly trip now becomes three or more times per month. With each trip into the hunt, you run the risk of being found out, you run the risk of establishing a pattern."

I frown and nod before speaking out. "A girl comes to a club once in a month and leaves with a guy, no one bats an eye. The same girl comes in each week and leaves with a guy... people might start to notice something."

"That's right... these are the risks you have to weigh when deciding to kill or not." Val folds his arms in thought. "Though you can augment your feeding with blood... you may get more mileage than I would. So do not lose heart, my rabbit. I do not sway you to kill, simply that what choice you make, is yours."

"But you don't kill anymore Val?" I asked while smiling at him. Staring into his dark black eyes.

"I do not. I find it more satisfying to entertain myself with the hunt multiple times. I am older and wiser though. I know the dangers to watch for because I survived the mistakes I made as a youth." The incubus gave my lips a quick kiss and grinned. "This lesson is one you need to take, Alice. Even if I long for you..."

I bit my lower lip, my eyes shining and shifting to maroon. "Hum... then let us get it over with, then we can return and you may have me until the morning."

"Right!" Val spoke the words eagerly and looked out to the city. He then frowned and looked back at me. "Wait... have you been taught to change form yet?"

"You mean I can do that?!" I huffed out excitedly and clenched my fists, my tail flicking about eagerly. "L-like a bat or owl?"

The incubus grinned at my eagerness and patted my head. "That answers that I suppose. Yes, most of your kind can usually shift to primitive forms of species." The goat frowned and rubbed his chin. "You can not though... it would take an hour or more to get to the city by car..."

"Guess we can't go hunt... suppose you will just have to have me instead." I pushed close to him and playfully spoke into his ear.

"Tempting... but I have a fun idea." Val gave me a grin.

"I thought I was plenty of fun." I pouted and crossed my arms.

He laughed and ran his fingertips through my blonde hair, drifting them down to my backside. "Relax my rabbit. I will make time for you before the sun rises..."

I smiled at him and gave a nod, then tilted my head as he turned from me and squatted. The goat gave me a grin over his shoulder. "Climb onto my back, but don't grab my horns like handlebars." He chuckled the words playfully.

I hesitated but did as I was told and pushed into his back, wrapping my arms around his neck, pushing my chest into him. My legs wrapped around him tightly as he stood with me. I giggled into his ear at the prospect of it, it had been childhood since I had been given a piggyback ride like this.

His hands moved to my legs and squeezed them gently. "Now you hold on very tight. You would most likely survive the fall, but I would feel awful about it."

"S-survive the fall... wait, w-what?!" I spoke out in a panic and clung tightly to him as the incubus started making a jogging stride forward that paced up into bounding steps.

"Yeah, yeah, just hold tight!" He barked the words at me as we reached the crest of the hill and I felt his force of will surge forth, his knees bending before he made an impossible leap up into the night sky. I screamed out in shock right into his ear while clinging to him tightly. The goat winced at the sound but gave me a wide grin as we soared through the air.

"Ha... haha... holy shit... we're... we're flying!" I yelled the words out over the whistling wind that was tearing past us as we cut through the sky.

"We are not... not at all!" Val yelled the words back to me as we drifted across the sky, pushing through drifting low lying cloud banks of fog. It was only after we cleared one I saw we were starting a descent back to the earth. I yelped in panic and clung tighter to him, shivering in rational fear. We were dozens of stories up and coming down alarmingly quick, of course, I would panic.

Val seemed to judge the position of descent and we came down surprisingly gently upon the asphalt of a road cutting through a small cul de sac. His knees bent and his fingertips brushed the pavement for a split second before he launched forward in another impossible jump.

His ears were met with childish giggles and excitement from me as I clung tight and we soared back into the sky. It was not unlike riding a roller coaster. An exciting climb to the top before a dramatic and terrifying plunge back down to earth. We made impressive progress and by the fifth leap, we were almost upon the city.

I clung to his back and pushed my cheek to it, grinning like a child as I held close to him. "This is like a dream..."

The incubus gave me a grin over his shoulder before we came down in the center of a nearby park. He landed and had to take several purposeful strides to slow his rate of movement down before giving me a winded huff. "Been a few years since I did that." He gave me a toothy grin, his silver hair looking wild and all over, like he had his head sticking out of a car window.

I giggled and stepped over to him, my own hair a blonde tangled mess. "Thank you Val... that was..." I gave him a childish grin and felt my heart slowing. "It was exciting, and..."

"And?" He asked me playfully as he reached into his back pocket and withdrew a comb, starting to tend to his hair.

I bit my lower lip and averted my eyes. "I don't know... it felt special... to share that moment with you..."

The incubus gave me a playful laugh as he worked his hair. "Yeah, you think so? Perhaps I should have serenaded you while we were in flight." He held a hand to his chest dramatically. "I can show you the world..."

I blushed and pushed at his chest with a fussy pout. "D-don't tease me... I'm serious!"

He grinned and stepped to me, moving a hand through my mussed hair and brushing over my drooped ears. "I know... it makes me happy you feel that way..."

I shook my head and pushed my forehead to his chest. "Truly... thank you for everything, Val."

Another smile was his answer before returning to his hair. He took a few minutes to comb all the tangles out before putting it up in a ponytail. He then gave me an expectant grin as he held the comb out to me. I gave him a playful smile and reached for the comb, then turned my back to him and stepped into his chest. I gave the incubus an expectant huff in response.

I felt the teeth of the comb move through my hair and I smiled up at him out of the corner of my eye, grinning playfully. "Thank you..."

"It's my pleasure..." He spoke the words and I could feel the energy between us tingle while he stroked through my hair again and again. His hair was longer than mine, but it seemed he spent a little longer combing my own.

"There we go..." He hummed the words and slid his comb back into his pocket before taking my hand. I grinned and interlocked my fingers with his own as we made our way out of the park.

"We look like a couple on a late-night stroll... shall I call you honey?" I cooed the words and released his hand to clasp his arm instead, pushing my small body up to him.

"Not... a bad idea actually." Val spoke out as he used his free hand to take out his phone and order us a cab.

"What do you mean?" I asked curiously, my white ears lifting.

"We will be a couple looking for a little side action together. Would you prefer a guy or gal tonight?" The incubus gave me a hungry grin.

"Uhm...I want..." I gave him my own grin. "I just want you honey, whatever you choose is fine."

I grin as you protest my sudden stop. "So eager to hear of my first hunt? I assure you it's full of everything you desire too..."

I find your pouting endearing as I rise from my seat. "All in time, for now... I find myself parched and your offer too enticing." I begin a stride towards my chambers, knowing you will be at my heels. "You will need to rest thoroughly after this one though. I would simply feel dreadful if my favorite pet fell ill."
