Under A Wingbeat
Moonbay and her sister, Mei, begin their new life with the angel,
Rei
Moonbay, a thick, busty panda, kept a close eye on her phone, looking for a text or call. She brushed her raven hair back behind her ears, watching Mei, her younger sister, in the gas station. The girl was roaming around the snacks, grabbing up anything that caught her attention or she felt the impulse to grab. Moonbay rolled her eyes, sinking into the seat, and rested her head on her hand. On the dashboard was a photo of their mother.
Moonbay, twenty-six, is the older of the two. Beautiful, curvy, and has an ample bust to catch anyone's eye. Her most notable feature was a white patch on top of her hair. No one knew how that came about, and some had confused her age for someone much older. She made a name for herself as a talented reporter. Mei, twenty-three, her younger sister, is slim but still turns a few heads. Athletic and a genius with computers.
Charlotte was a kind soul who devoted everything to the girls. Moonbay smiled, thinking and reminiscing about their best times together. She wouldn't give them up for the world. But unfortunately, her train of thought was wrecked when the backdoor suddenly opened, and Mei threw bags after bags of junk food into the backseat.
"Oh, for fuck's sake, Mei!" The excess sugar and salt in the bags made the girl's stomach turn in knots. "Seriously, We're almost there; you couldn't wait for a few more hours?"
Mei scoffed, getting into the passenger seat. "I'm not the reason we're out here in the first place. Some random stranger offered us a place to stay, and you accepted it without even telling me about it!" She slammed the door with a huff.
Moonbay. "Would you prefer moving in with Dad?" She asked, starting up their car and driving away.
Mei. "And have Sandra up my ass? Fuck. That." She said with great disdain for the woman. She leaned the car seat back to lay down. "Why didn't you tell me we were getting kicked out?"
Moonbay didn't say anything. It wasn't an easy answer. She gripped the wheel tightly, nervously trying to think of the words. Mei looked at her, wearing a stoic expression on her face. "Come on,"
"We're not doing this now." She focused on driving. Keeping her eyes pointed ahead.
"You slept with him..." She said before Moonbay slammed on the breaks, sending them both hurtling into the dashboard. Mei let out a loud grunt before her lips for any blood after biting them from the impact. "WHAT THE FUCK, SUSAN!?" Moonbay's actual name. She never used it much since everyone called her Moonbay. A nickname from grade school. Mei groaned, running her fingers along the inside of her mouth while Moonbay was seething in her seat.
"You wanna know why I didn't say anything?" She gave Mei a look that made the girl briefly freeze up. "Because of this shit right here," she pointed at the console to indicate the present situation. "You're talking like we have other options. That we're not thoroughly and royally fucked because of you."
"Me!? Where the hell do you get off talking to me like this is my fault?"
. "Because it is! You can't hold onto a job for more than a few months and I had to use up my savings to bail us out on multiple occasions." She shook her head, chuckling and leaning on the steering wheel, holding her head. "We're broke, Mei. We're fucking broke."
"Moon, if we held out for a bit longer..."
"YOUR STREAMS WOULDN'T HAVE SAVED US!" Moonbay screamed, slamming her fists on the wheel before she struggled with her seatbelt to get it off and got out and slammed the door shut, rattling the keys. She began pacing in front of the car, trying to calm down. Mei watched her, it was uncommon to see Moonbay lose her temper like this. It was a rare thing to truly make her older sister lose her shit.
Almost twenty minutes passed before Moonbay got back in the car, heavily sighing while she melted into the seat. "Before I got laid off, I interviewed some successful streamers for a piece we were doing, and over two-thirds of them told me about how they had to hold down a job before they made any amount of money from it and that was just to support one person let alone someone who had kids. So you're not seeing the immeasurable amount of static you need to cut through to get people to notice you."
She put the car back into drive and pulled away. Mei just stared at her and hugged her middle.
"I know that..."
"You don't. Nothing is as easy as you think it'll be. I busted my ass at that newspaper for three years before they took me seriously. Even streaming takes time to build up a following." She sighed, glancing at her younger sister, seeing how timid she became after her outburst. Moonbay placed her hand on the center console, open to hold Mei's. "I'm sorry for yelling at you but we don't have a choice right now. It was either accept Rei's invitation or we go live with Dad and the bitch." Mei grabbed her hand, squeezing it tightly.
"Was it though?"
"That's all we have, Mei. I can't stand her any more than you can, and Dad's just as bad. I didn't accept this for myself. I did it for us both."
"But what if they try dragging me into it?"
"They won't. I made it clear to leave you alone. If they make one move towards you and the deal's off. Even if Sandra's a bitch I'd rather put up with her bullshit than see my baby sis forced into something like this. Besides, you wouldn't know what to do with it." She teased earning a playful punch to the arm from Mei.
"Screw you!" The sisters had a good laugh, easing the tension from everything until Mei looked out of the window. "So Mom knew Rei?"
"That's what she said though I can't imagine how close they could have been for Rei to pay for everything when Mom passed."
"Yeah, she always said Rei was just a special friend when she and dad broke up." She spotted something on the side of the road and grabbed Moonbay's arm to make her stop the car. "PULL OVER!" Moonbay slammed on the brakes and looked at Mei, wondering what the hell had her all worked up until she saw it herself: the massive, crumbling remains of an angel.
The towering hollow corpse stood as a reminder of a darker time in the world. It was buried in the ground, its rusted exterior wrapped in vines and overgrowth. Many of them littered the landscape, often drawing the attention of tourists and the occasional scholar for study. Mei looked at the ominous figure and turned to Moonbay. "Remember when Mom showed us one of these before?"
"Ha, how could I forget? We had nightmares for weeks."
Mei giggled, looking at the angel as they started to pull away again. "Do you think we can stop and snap a pic?"
Moonbay. "We don't have time. We're already running late."
Mei. "Come on, Rei didn't give us a time limit right?"
"No, she didn't..."
"Then we have time! Come on, we go up to the angel, grab a pic and keep heading to Rei's." Moonbay groaned, tapping her finger on the wheel, considering the idea. The angel's history was a big interest for her and any chance to learn about them was welcome. She huffed, glancing at Mei.
"See if you can find a way down there." Mei squealed, grabbed her phone, and searched for a path on the GPS.
A short drive off the highway and the sisters drove up behind a crowd of people clamoring around the angel. Stalls, food vendors, and informative tours surrounded it. The sight made Moonbay feel uneasy and she never understood why. She turned to Mei, cocking her brow. "How bad do you want that photo?" Mei looked at her with a smile and got out of the car. She giggled, running up to the ticket booth. Moonbay rolled her eyes and got out to follow. The sisters weaved through the crowd, watching kids running around and waving toys in the air, tour guides answering questions and Mei smelling the vendor food for sale. She took in a deep breath and smiled.
"Man, We haven't been to anything like this since we were kids."
"Yeah, I honestly thought this thing would look so much smaller by now but it looks even bigger than before."
"Yeah, no kidding." They looked up at the giant and the broken halo hanging on its neck. "Do you think its true? They came to earth to end the world?"
"Hmmm, I doubt it. There's so little information about them that I can't say for sure. The Upheaval was over three hundred years ago." Moonbay turned her attention to the angel's face. The rust stains under its eyes made it seem like it was crying. She felt a bit sad that people turned this place into a tourist trap. "There are so many stories about the cause that even the angels left don't know the truth."
Mei. "Didn't you research them back in high school?"
Moonbay. "Yeah, and I wound up chasing a bunch of dead ends. My classmates clowned me for weeks after they found out what I chose for my report."
Mei. "Well, yeah. Not everyone's a fan." She dodged a gang of giggling kids and smiled as they vanished into the crowd again. "Come on, let's grab that pic and get going." She tapped Moonbay on the arm and ran over to an area that was devoid of people, looking up at the angel and getting into a good spot. "Okay, what kind of pose do you think we should go with?" Moonbay was a photography buff. She loved capturing incredible scenery and amazing people earned her some big jobs as a reporter. She opened the camera on her phone and took a second to get the settings right.
"Just pick a pose. It doesn't need to be anything fancy." Mei pouted and rested her hands on her hips.
"What's wrong with you?"
"What? Nothing's wrong. Let's just take the pic and get going." Mei huffed and crossed her arms.
"Just forget it." She started marching back to the car. Moonbay leered at Mei and grabbed the girl's arm.
"What the hell is with you?" Mei slapped her hand away.
"I brought you down here to try and cheer you up but you're acting like I'm boring you to death! You know what? Fuck it. Let's just go to this prick's mansion so you can get your damn rocks off!" She tried to pull her arm away before Moonbay tightened her grip.
"I'm scared, okay!" Mei stopped and looked Moonbay in the eye. She saw a small quiver on her lip. "When I called Rei, they gave me the names of several women to talk to so I could get their opinions about them. What they told me. Fuck..." She let her go and shambled over to the nearest bench. Sitting down, Moonbay started to let her emotions show a bit more, her body visibly shaking. "And despite that, I offered myself up. The money they're offering could get us a house in a couple of months."
Mei sat down next to her, taking her hand and squeezing it. "Is it better than dealing with Sandra? Sure, she's a handful but being someone's whore for their pleasure isn't anyone's first choice. Rei said we can still walk away, right?"
Moonbay nodded. "They did. Listen, whatever happens, I want you to know..." The girls jumped when Moonbay's phone rang in her hand. She looked at it and saw Rei's number across the screen. "It's them!" She blurted out and answered the call. "Hello?"
"Moonbay? I've been trying to reach you but the cell coverage on the highway was abhorrent. I just wanted to see if you were still on the way?" Moonbay remembered a man's voice from the last call. Not a woman. Rei sounded like her voice was made of fine silk. She pushed the image from her mind, knowing how distracted she could be.
Moonbay looked at Mei and pointed at the phone, telling her that Rei was asking about them. "Uh, yes! We made a quick pit stop to grab a photo. You know that huge angel near the highway?"
"I do actually, I'm going to be making a stop there myself in a few. How about we meet up there before we go to the mansion?"
"Oh, that's a great idea! We'll be waiting there."
"Excellent, look for a woman wearing a black suit with gold trim."
Moonbay. "Okay, sure, but I have to ask. The last time we spoke you had a man's voice. It sounded kind of hot, to be honest." Mei smiled, seeing her sister getting into detective mode. Moonbay put the call on speaker as Rei giggled on the other end.
"You think so? Then maybe you'd prefer someone with a deeper tone." The sisters stared at the phone when a voice like Christopher Judge came booming through the speaker. "There is more to me than you'll understand, girl. It's better to show you." Their voice changed back to the feminine tone, soft and gentle like a mother speaking to her child. "See you soon." She giggled and hung up, leaving the girls slack-jawed. Mei jumped up, stammering and freaking out. "Our mom... Knew an angel!" Moonbay jumped up and slapped her hand over Mei's mouth to keep the girl from getting louder.
"Be quiet!" She hissed at Mei and looked around to see if anyone noticed them. "Someone's gonna hear us." Mei slapped her sister's hand away, grabbed her shirt, and pulled her closer.
"How can you be so damn calm when we heard someone change their voices like that!"
Moonbay. "Because it could be some asshole playing games with us. We need to see up close before we can take it as the truth. Trust me, I already got all kinds of rumors of Rei being an angel and I'm not gullible enough to take them as fact yet." Mei nodded, feeling calmer now. Moonbay never accepted anything she didn't see firsthand. Angels lived in this world but seeing is believing.
Mei. "Okay, so we get proof. But what if they are an angel? You'd think they wouldn't be into shit like this." She motioned to the tourists around them. "And the fact you agreed to bring their pet or whatever. I mean look at you. The right amount of thickness in the right place. Especially with the twins." She gave Moonbay a smirk and a wink which made her groan, rolling her eyes.
"I am not having that kind of a conversation with my sister, okay?"
Mei. "Hey, I'm just saying it's weird an angel would be into this kind of thing."
"Well, sadly, angels are just as twisted as we can be. I've heard about some twisted fetishes."
"Let's just wait to see what they say." She wrapped her arm around Mei's neck and smiled, getting them in the frame. "Let's get that picture and enjoy some grub!" Mei was a bit shocked seeing Moonbay switching moods like this but decided to go along and say fuck it. She flashed two middle fingers while Moonbay stuck out her tongue. Their eyes pointed in odd directions to make the photo more immature. The sisters couldn't get over the sisters as they laughed and ventured over to the first food vendor. A hot meal sounded like the right idea.
Two hours have passed since Rei called Moonbay. She was lost in thought while Mei sorted through tacky T-shirts and hats. Was Rei an angel? It was said the more powerful ones could alter their physical forms. They came from a purely primal source of energy. What kind was a secret the highest ranks chose to keep hidden knowing mortals would exploit it for their gain?
Moonbay was researching Rei's social standing and found various pictures of different people. The one common theme was the black and gold. Rei's form always had the same colors every time they made an appearance. The second most notable was their wings. Some of the photos had some tattoos or, Dye Marks as most anthros with fur called them, in the shape of feathery angelic wings going down their backs and hips. Moonbay was worried about her stance on the situation. If Rei was an angel, could she resist the temptation of getting closer to them if they were?
"Hey, Moon!" She turned to Mei and fought back a laugh seeing her sister wearing a fake halo and angel wings. "Don't I look precious?" She put her hands together to pretend she was praying before Moonbay came over and took the halo off.
"Seriously, Mei. If Rei is an angel, don't you think this would probably make them mad?"
Mei pouted, seeing her put the halo back. "Maybe so or they could be someone who doesn't really care. I've heard some of them just walk around people and couldn't give any less of a shit what people like us think."
Moonbay. "Maybe so but I don't wanna make them angry. God knows what they can do even if they're a regular person like us." A commotion started to rise from the patrons. The sisters looked at each other before they jogged over to catch a peek. Moonbay squeezed through the crowd first and gasped, her eyes widening as they caught the face of a woman. An anubian jackal, bedazzled in gold. Her siren-like charm drew in the onlookers like a swarm of ants racing to the first lick of honey. Guards ensured no one got close to her. Moonbay's heart jumped into her throat, drowning out all sound with a drumming beat. She couldn't hear Mei trying to get her attention before she felt the girl pull on her ear. "Ow!" She yanked her ear away. "What the hell!"
Mei. "I've been saying your name for a solid minute!" She looked at the woman who just continued to walk away. "Is that them?"
Moonbay rubbed her ear, watching the woman vanish into the mass of people, and nodded. "It's her. She charmed me for a minute."
Mei looked at her. "Charmed?" She noticed a few others were frozen in place. "Isn't that a defensive measure?" She walked over to a man and waved her hand in front of his face before snapping her fingers and getting no response.
Moonbay. "It is. It catches anyone vulnerable to it in a trance and leaves them mesmerized allowing the angel to escape. I didn't notice until you pulled me out of it."
Her curiosity was starting to take over every train of thought that zoomed through her mind. All of her questions about angels and where they came from could finally be answered. Mei saw in her eyes and pulled her again to snap Moonbay back to reality.
Mei. "Susan, we can still walk away from this."
Moonbay grumbled, rubbing her ear. "And go where Mei? We were evicted, remember?"
Mei. "Still, I don't wanna see my sister be the toy of heavenly reject!"
"Reject?" they turned to see Rei standing next to them, smiling with her arms crossed under her bust. Mei started sweating bullets, tugging on Moonbay's sleeve desperately wanting to leave. The older sister pulled Mei behind her.
Moonbay. "Hello, Miss Rei. I apologize for my sister's words. She doesn't approve of our arrangement."
Rei took a step closer. "How do you know I'm Rei?" The crowd started to watch them, growing more curious about the sisters. Mei was starting to panic as she pulled Moonbay closer. She grabbed Mei's hand and held it close.
"I know what a charm feels like. You lose yourself in a fantasy. It's close to a vivid dream. Please, ma'am. Can we speak of this somewhere private?" Rei smiled and motioned for them to follow her to the angel's corpse. On its side was a doorway inside.
Mei. "Wait, we can go inside it?"
Rei. "Of course. It wouldn't be much of an attraction if they didn't let anyone see the inside of it.
The guard at the door recognized the uniforms Rei made her guards. He thought it was tacky as hell. "Miss Merderna, The doctor is waiting for you inside." He unlocked the door with a keycard and allowed them inside. He tried to stop the sisters from going in. "Hold on, you two..."
Rei. "They're with us, Frank. Rei is expecting them at their mansion." Frank froze, looking at the sisters up and down before he placed his hand over his heart.
Frank. "I feel so sorry for you two." The sisters were pulled in before they could ask any questions.
Mei yanked herself away from the guards, growling and pointing her tinger at Rei. "OKAY! EITHER SOMEONE Gives us... an explanation..." Her eyes drifted along the walls, seeing some pulsing energy moving through them. They could hear a faint heartbeat, echoing from above.
Moonbay. "Oh, my god, it's alive!" She said with increasing excitement. For years, she wondered about their biology and now they were getting a full tour. She was almost lost in the daydream before the people outside popped into her head. "Hold on, doesn't that mean it could wake up at any moment?"
Rei. "No, I'm here to make sure it stays dead."
She turned and started up a stairway the sisters hadn't noticed until now. They went two flights up before seeing a scientist in a white coat. "How long has it been active?"
"Good to see you as well, Rei." Richardson readjusted his glasses before walking beside her as they made a beeline for the heartbeat. "We estimate it's been active for at least several months. Damage to the upper spinal cord was nearly repaired by the time we noticed."
Rei. "How the hell did it go unnoticed for that long, Dick?"
Richardson. "Would it kill you to call me Rick and we discovered someone built a shield around the core to hide it from our instruments?"
Mei bumped Moonbay in the side, whispering. "How the hell could this thing be alive? It's been here since the Upheaval."
Moonbay. "Angels don't die the same way we do. Their minds are separated from their bodies when it dies so they can easily find a new vessel. Unless of course, you deal a great amount of shock to the core." She stopped, slowly realizing everyone was listening to her. Her face lit up bright red as Richardson narrowed his eyes at her. She squeaked and threw up her hands to surrender. "Eh! Sorry, I did some research after I reached out to Rei."
Richard. "Aren't you Moonbay Burns? A reporter for the Petticoat Bugle?"
Moonbay. "Yeah, at least I was before they laid me off. Have we met?"
Richardson. "No, but we did speak on the phone."
Rei. "And you informed her about my kind?" She smiled at Moonbay making the young woman nervous before she turned her attention to Rich. "And you ask why I always call you Dick? I trusted you, Dicky." She pouted with her lip poking out, wiggling her hips like a timid child.
Richardson. "Go to hell, Rei."
Rei laughed and kept going. "Been there, lousy food, and the beds were awful on my back!" Moonbay whined, watching all of this and wondering if walking away was the better option after all. She turned to Richardson.
"Is she always like this?"
Richardson. "Sadly, yes. Not many people can tell her what to do. Just stay on her good side and you'll be fine." He followed Rei down a short hallway and into an elevator. The sisters followed them in and rode it up into the chest where the core was located. Similarly where the heart is for mortals. Moonbay softly gasped when her eyes saw it. An orb of light with veins growing out of it in all directions, a makeshift shield being dismantled around it and the armed guards keeping unwanted guests away.
Moonbay. "Fuck me,"
Rei smiled and took her hand. "Not just yet. We need to talk about something first."
Moonbay snapped her head at Rei before she let go and walked up to the core. Something inside it hissed at her, the veins breaking free from the walls and lashing out at her. Rei barely paid them any attention as they struck a barrier she used to protect herself.
"lIaR, TrAiToR, WhORe!" A voice bellowed at Rei before she pulled her hand back and drove it through the core's shell. Moonbay watched with increasing interest seeing something struggling against Rei before she growled and yanked them out. It was another angel, screaming in a language only Rei understood and slashing at her with its wings. The tips cut through her body but left no wound. Rei let them go for a second before she grabbed its feet and swung them around to shatter the core, rendering it useless. She let it slam into a wall, leaving it gasping for air and shaking all over. It spoke for a moment, its voice sounded like something from a computer. A strange metallic or distorted tone that slowly faded when the angel pushed itself up on its hand and knees. "You filthy traitor." The girls were mesmerized by the beautiful wings adorning its back, pale white skin, and a halo over its head. It turned to Rei. "How can you take their side? After all, they took from us."
Rei. "They didn't do it. It was someone else from a long time ago. We have no reason to punish this new generation for the sins of one human."
Angel. "IT DOESN'T MATTER! THEY DESERVE DEATH!" It leaped at Rei, her hand grabbed it by the throat and squeezed wirh incredible force until the angel's head came off. Its body started to evaporate instantly, turning into dust littering the flood. The sisters watched in growing fear and awe at the sight before them. Rei wiped her hands clean and walked back towards the elevator.
"Make sure this thing never wakes up again."
Richardson. "We'll handle it."
Rei scoffed, motioning for the sisters to follow. "Sure, you will."
"Uh, Excuse me!" Everyone looked at Mei. "Are we going to ignore the fact she killed one of her own kind!?"
Moonbay. "Mei, they're not dead. The physical body is gone but they'll be back eventually." She tried to calm Mei down but the girl wasn't having it.
Mei. "No, no no no! I am not going anywhere until someone explains why the hell she killed it in the first place!"
Rei. "Because it would have repaired the weapon we're standing in and used it to hurt innocent people. Massive angels like this could be hijacked by small numbers of lesser ranks to keep fighting when the core dies." She pointed at the shattered orb. "The one I killed wanted to reignite the war that caused the Upheaval. There's more where they came from." She smiled and walked over to the sisters. "But you two aren't here for a history lesson. Why don't we move on to the house and settle in?" She turned and walked away while Mei gave Moonbay a dirty look.
"If we get turned into frogs or something... H-hey!" Moonbay started pushing her to the exit but left with an increased desire to learn. About the angels and oddly enough, about Rei themselves.
Rei and her entourage led the sisters to where they would be staying for the week. Moonbay glanced at Mei, who was uncommonly quiet. "Can you say something, please?"
Mei. "Something..." She said dryly. Her words were dripping with sarcasm and frustration towards the situation.
"Mei, I know that wasn't what we expected to see from Rei..."
"You fucking think!" Mei snapped at her. "She killed an angel in front of us and just walked off like it was nothing. No one has given us a straight answer why they did it."
"She told us, Mei. It wanted to rebuild the bigger one from the inside out and use it to hurt people. Isn't that enough?"
"No, it's not! We know next to nothing about how things work with them. I guarantee that Rei killed it because it threatened their place at the top. Remember all the research you did on them? They're followed by one of the biggest gangs in the city, and even the mayor gets her ear bent by them!" She huffed and sank into her seat. "Then I saw the look in your eye."
"What look?"
"That goddamned I'm-gonna-get-to-the-bottom-of-this look!" Mei snapped, hitting the door. "You always have that look when something grabs your attention. It made you one of the best damn reporters at the Bugel and landed you in the hospital when you investigated that biker club. Mom nearly had a heart attack when we got the call." Moonbay didn't say a word. Mei was right; Rei had her attention, and her drive to delve deeper into the angel's personality was gnawing at the inside of her mind. Ready to get out and dig up dirt on them.
"You're right." Mei looked at her, mildly shocked she admitted it. Moonbay usually played it off like a lie. "I can't deny she's got me. Their whole world is my guilty pleasure. Anything about Rei and her people I want to know it. More than that, I want to know what makes Rei tick. People always saw angels as a force of good or purity, while Rei has shown us..."
"They're a damn monster." Mei finished her sentence, reestablishing the awkward silence between them. She grabbed Moonbay's hand and held it. "Please, let's just go to Dad's and forget they existed."
Moonbay takes her hand. "We've come this far. Let's at least spend the night and grab a meal before we make another move. Okay?" Mei almost protested before her stomach roared aloud, signaling its need for food.
Mei. "Bed, food, and then we leave. Deal?"
Moonbay smiled, following Rei's convoy onto their vacation home. "Deal." One of the guards got out and guided her where to park. Once the cars stopped moving, Rei got out and whistled to the sisters.
"Moonbay, Mei. Follow me inside, please. I need to speak to you in private." She turned and walked inside. The sisters timidly followed while the guards carried their bags inside.
The sisters were in awe at the massively expensive decor of Rei's home. Mei felt like she'd break something if she touched anything. Moonbay was more focused on Rei. Her eyes trailed over the angel's feminine form, taking in the shape and the walk she walked. Moonbay never considered herself a lesbian, but her actions proved the contrary. "See something you like?" The woman's face lit up redder than a ripe tomato trying to avert her gaze from Rei when she smiled back at them. Mei saw her reaction and heavily sighed.
"Miss Rei? I mean, is Miss okay with you?"
Rei. "Whatever pronoun you think is best works for me. Was there something you wanted to ask?"
Mei. "Yeah, I don't suppose you have anything to eat here. We didn't get anything back at the tourist spot."
Rei. "Oh? How come?"
Mei nodded at Moonbay. "The big reporter here is paranoid." That earned a slap on the arm from Moonbay. "Ow! Well, it's true. Ever since you wrote that piece on the Timber Club, you won't eat anything that you didn't cook yourself!"
Moonbay. "You didn't see how far these thugs would go to keep people out of their business."
Rei. "She's not wrong." She takes the sisters into the kitchen. "Have a seat, and I can whip up something for you girls."
Mei. "Hold on; you can cook?"
Rei smiled, taking off her jacket and slipping on an apron. "Of course. I promised I'd take care of you two, and I intend to make good on my promise. Plus, I have my own sweet tooth from time to time." She giggled, checking the cupboards to see what they had on hand.
Moonbay. "Is there anything fresh in here?"
Rei. "I sent Wraith, my head of security, to stock up the house before we move in. This way, we have fresh ingredients to make a good meal. Are you two okay with meat?"
Mei. "Anything with chicken works for me."
Moonbay. "I'm not a picky eater." She said, sitting down and watching Rei move about like a professional chef. Still, her words from earlier echoed in the back of her head. "You said you wanted to talk to us?"
Rei. "Yes, I do." She crouched down, grabbing the pans she needed from a lower cupboard. "I printed out some job listings for you both." Mei looked at Moonbay, smiling from relief as she clapped her hand over Moonbay's mouth to silence her.
"Wait, you found some job listings for both of us?"
Rei. "Yes, I did." She filled up a pot of water for pasta. "Your mother was a dear friend of mine despite being in the same position you were expecting to be."
Moonbay pushed Mei's hand away. "So our mother was a pet too?"
Rei. "She was, and I came to care for her greatly." She takes the pot to the stove and puts it on a medium flame. "To respect her memory, I am prepared to house, feed, and give you an allowance until you can save up enough for a new home."
Mei. "So we don't have to do anything?" She asked with a desperate tone. It excited Rei a bit, but the woman maintained her composure and nodded at Mei and saw a somewhat disappointed expression from Moonbay.
"That's right. Neither of you has to submit to me, and you'll both have the run of the house as well as my home in the city as long as you promise to stay out of my affairs."
Mei. "Oh, you won't even notice I'm there!" She squealed, feeling giddy and overjoyed they didn't have to play along with Rei's desires. She turned to Moonbay and noticed the same expression on her face. It threw up the biggest red flag for her. "Hey, Sis. Didn't you hear that? We can just get a regular job! Isn't that great?"
Moonbay slowly looked at the counter. "Yeah, that's great." She felt her getting pulled towards the pantry. Mei was smaller than her, but she had a tad more strength than she did. Once they were inside, Mei leaned on the door and huffed before looking at Moonbay. "Are you seriously thinking about this? We got a get out of jail free card, and you're still thinking of degrading yourself for money?"
Moonbay. "We can't afford to waste time." She hissed at Mei, rubbing her ear. "I'm not fond of the idea myself, but it beats wasting years of our lives when I know Rei is prone to her emotions. One day, she can easily decide she's done with us and kicks us out before we have a place to go. If I take on the role, I can make sure we don't end up under a bridge."
Mei. "While you're doing that, she can easily send me packing just because I'm not the one shoving my face between her thighs. Moonbay, please. Are you thinking this through at all?"
Moonbay grabbed her shoulder. "I am. I promise I'm not doing this just for me. You know I wouldn't leave you behind."
Mei scoffed, pulling her arm away. "Doesn't mean you're not selfish." She left the pantry, leaving Rei confused at the stove. "I'm going to explore the house. Call me when the food's done." Rei turned to Moonbay, who closed the pantry door before she locked eyes with her.
Rei. "Is something wrong?"
Moonbay. "Not really, but that's between her and me." She sat down at the counter. "Listen, about you and me, can we agree on a few terms first?"
Rei wiped her hands clean from cutting tomatoes. "Of course, you're making the choice here. It's up to me to respect your wishes. Any limitations you'd like to set now is the time."
Moonbay. "Good, my first rule is that you never touch Mei. Anything like a handshake is fine, but if you make any plans to seduce her. The deal is off."
Rei leaned on the counter, pushing her breasts forward with her arms. Moonbay blushed, seeing it but pulling back to keep their distance. "That's fair. Anything else?"
Moonbay. "Second, I want your promise as long I stay, so does Mei."
Rei. "Granted." She kept a calm, stoic expression on her face.
"And third, I can have a job on the side."
Rei blinked, tilting her head to the side. "You did hear I am giving you an allowance, didn't you?"
Moonbay. "I heard you, but that doesn't mean I want to get lazy. In the day, I want to keep some part of my life normal. After that, I'm yours." Rei smiled and nodded. She respected Moonbay for speaking up. "And lastly, I want to know more about the angels. Specifically about you."
Rei cocked her brow. "About me? Darling, if you mean Rei, the person, then you'll be disappointed."
Moonbay. "Doesn't mean I can't learn something from our time together. I'm smart, Rei. I promise I can discover a thing or two." Rei couldn't take it. She started chuckling and covering her mouth at the absurdity of the young woman's mission for answers. She looked her in the eye and grinned, standing up. She walked around to the other side of the counter, her fingertips gliding over the smooth marble surface before climbing up Moonbay's arms. She gripped her shoulders with a firm but gentle grip. Moonbay gasped, her face turning redder than before. Her heart danced in her chest. Rei smiled, delighted to see Moonbay so nervous.
"First time with a woman?" She asked, genuinely curious.
Moonbay shook her head. "I've had a couple of dates with other girls. I'm not picky about my partners. It's hard to find someone you can trust, you know?"
Rei kissed the nape of her neck, sending shivers down her spine. Moonbay shuddered, melting into her touch.
"Can I offer some advice?"
Moonbay. "Huh? Yeah, Sure." she relented and relaxed against the angel.
"I'd listen to your sister," Moonbay yelled when Rei suddenly let her go, and she nearly fell back on the floor.
"Eh? What the fuck!" Moonbay snapped at her, clutching her chest.
Rei returned to the meal. "Just as I said. Listen to Mei and find a job. I'll take care of you both." She spun around, seeing Moonbay was almost fuming. It was apparent Moonbay didn't take rejection well. Rei saw it as an opportunity to lay out the truth for her. She reached out and grabbed Moonbay by the chin, surprising her. "Don't get the wrong idea. I want this; I desire it more than you'll ever guess. The moment you choose to submit, I will respect your wishes and ensure we both enjoy our time together." She pulled her closer until their lips touched. Moonbay wasn't ready for it. Everything was in slow motion for her; when they connected, her body nearly buckled and colaspsed to the floor. How was Moonbay still excited over someone just met? One of the many questions she had to ask.
When Rei pulled away, she jerked Moonbay a bit to make the woman open her eyes. "I warn you, the moment you and I are alone. We do not stop until I say we do. I will take every advantage I can if you get careless." Moonbay fell back into the chair, panting heavily while Rei focused on cooking. She was starting to see that Mei was right. They needed to stay away. Rei wasn't someone to take lightly after everything they had witnessed so far. "I'll give you one week to decide. Until then, you can explore the house at your leisure. I'll call you when the food is ready." Moonbay didn't waste a second to get up and leave. She needed to gather her thoughts, and being that close wasn't helping. Moonbay patted her chest, panting and sweating, which matted her fur in some places. Rei was charming her again, and she fell for it. She needed to get away from them for a while and focus on what she wanted to do. Accepting the deal could mean getting the money faster but at the cost of her self-respect and sanity. Mei wanted them to look for a regular job that didn't involve getting into someone's bed. Especially an angel who made it clear Moonbay would be an object of pleasure.
"Damn it, what do I do?"
She found Mei messing around in one of the rooms, unpacking her bags and setting it up how she wants it. Mei turned around and saw Moonbay looking at her from the doorway.
"Hey," she folded up a shirt and stacked it next to her bags. "So is it done? "
Moonbay. "No, she gave me a week to think it over." Mei deflated, holding her shirt like she gave up on life.
"A week? Why is she giving you a choice when you already decided on it?"
Moonbay shrugged, sitting on the bed. "Maybe to remind me she's just holding the door open."
Mei. "And you're standing there like a cat who can't decide if they wanna come or go."
She threw another shirt on the pile. "Let's not pretend the situation hasn't changed. Before, you were doing it for us, and now that you've seen two angels up close, one of which is offering their bed to you. Now you're doing it for yourself. They're just down the hall, and you're still wearing that look." She walked over to Moonbay and sat next to her. Gently she takes her hand and holds it. "Is it worth it? We can get a job, pay for the food we eat, and be out of here without having to give up our freedom. We don't know what they'll do you, and I don't want to see my sister lose herself in all this."
"Mei," Moonbay squeezed her hand. "I am not going to lose myself in this, and my reasons haven't changed. It'll mean more money by the time we're ready to leave. It's not like I'm a virgin."
"Are you listening to me?" Mei begged, trying to get her sister to see reason.
"It also means we have protection." Mei blinked, looking at her. "Don't forget about the Club. I doubt they've forgotten what I did."
"It's been seven months since we dealt with them. Do you really think they'd come back after all this?"
"We don't know if they don't. I'm not a big target, but the club doesn't leave unsettled affairs. They could come for us." Mei was visibly upset with Moonbay's behavior. She got in her face, pointing at her chin.
"I swear to god If you're making this up to justify..."
"This isn't bullshit, Mei!" Moonbay snapped, sending her sibling rearing back. "I helped the police arrest over half their gang, and that's not something they'll let go of." She huffed and leaned her head in her hands. "Out of everything, I promise this is true. The club may come for us, and I want to make sure we don't become targets again."
She looked at Mei, tears dripping down her cheeks. "You panic so easily. It makes sense with Rei and the club, but you make a molehill into a mountain about the smaller things like that time you took apart the garbage disposal and flooded the kitchen floor."
"Okay," she sighed, leaning on Moonbay's shoulder. "I'll give you that one." Moonbay kissed the top of her head.
"It's a fucked situation, either way, we look at it, but we need to figure something out before we end up under a bridge. You said Rei could kick you out for any reason, right? Let's not forget Sandra wouldn't need one."
"Heh, yeah." Mei hated it, but Moonbay had one good point. They were screwed and desperate for a better life. She took in a deep breath and sat up. "Okay, so it's either you get fucked and keep a roof over our heads, or we end up begging for change." She looked at Moonbay and patted her back. "Make sure you swallow." Moonbay slapped her over the head, making the girl whine and laugh. They continued to tease each other before someone knocked on the door. "Hello?"
"It's Rei. I wanted to tell you lunch is ready."
"Okay, we're coming!" Moonbay called back and turned to Mei. "Let's figure out our next move while we can and sort this shit out. Okay? Trust me; I know what I'm getting myself into." Mei sighed, looking her in the eye before she grabbed in a bear hug.
"Promise I won't lose you?"
"Cross my heart." Moonbay hugged her back before they got up and went to the kitchen together. Tomorrow was a new day, and they needed time to recover from the trip, along with everything else. They weren't giving up so easily.
The following week went by as uneventfully as the sisters expected. Moonbay explored the house with her camera while Mei was busy streaming the latest game for her fans. She used the fact they were staying with Rei to attract some attention which drew in a lot of subscribers, but many immediately left when she told them she wasn't Rei's pet.
The morning of the seventh day, Moonbay was in the library, setting up a stack of books. She groaned, trying to find the best combination for a mystical-themed photo. She stood next to the table, biting her thumbnail and wracking her brain for a better arrangement. Someone knocked on the door. She turned to see Rei standing there with two steaming cups of coffee. "Good morning; Mei said you like light cream with yours."
"Oh! Thank you!" She takes the cup and slowly sips the delicious liquid, smacking her lips. "Mmm, so good." Rei nodded and looked at the camera on a tripod pointed at the books.
"How long have you been a photographer?"
"Oh, It's been a hobby of mine since middle school. It helped me get a job at the Bugle, and I was damn good at it." Moonbay checked her camera's settings before snapping a new shot. "Until I wrote a piece on Runestone, and the asshole got me fired."
"Ah, Runestone. The man hates me. Any time he hears my name, people swear you can see the vein on his forehead is ready to pop." Moonbay chuckled.
"I'd love to see that." Rei watched her and cleared her throat.
"Have you considered our arrangement?"
"Yes," she snapped another shot. "I'll accept your deal." She turned to Rei, who was wearing a smile like a kid on their birthday. "As long as you agree to my terms, and I want to add one more condition."
"Of course, dear. Tell me."
"I decide how far we go. I trust you not to hurt me, but I still need time to adjust to everything."
Rei agreed with a nod. Moonbay needed time to adjust.
"Anything else?"
"Hmm, I can't think of anything. Can we adjust the terms if we need to?"
"Yes, we can. The contract is amendable, so we're free to add or remove terms if we need to." Rei reached up and took a hand full of her hair. Moonbay watched the individual strains start to form a sheet of golden paper and gasped when the angel's index finger morphed into a pen. "It's okay. I need to show you something. A safety measure that ensures I follow through with my end of the contract."
"Wait, safety measure? What are you talking about?"
"Humor me, please." She placed the paper and pen on the table. "Make up a rule I can break." Moonbay narrowed her eyes and looked at the paper. She grabbed the pen and quickly thought of a rule.
"Okay, you cannot lie to my next question." She writes it down and shows it to Rei. Rei takes it and nods, rolling up the sheet until it transforms into a small bracelet. "Wow," Moonbay was in awe. "I heard you can make your body into flesh and metal." She giggled, watching Rei put it on her left wrist. "So, what's this measure you were talking about?"
"You said I can't lie to your next question. So ask me anything, and you'll see." She takes a step back from Moonbay.
"Um, okay." She stuck out her chest. "Would you say my boobs are too big, or do you wish they were bigger?"
"I think they're fine as they are." Rei's wrist exploded with a loud shattering bang, and Moonbay went screaming back against the wall.
"WHAT THE FUCK!"
"That's what I needed to show you. Do you see which arm was hurt?" Moonbay looked at her and then at her left arm. She turned to the bracelet and quickly did the math.
"So you're saying since I'm wearing this on my left arm, your left arm is the one that got hurt for breaking the rule?"
"Yes, this is a function of the contracts we make with mortals. Of course, its more exclusive to angels. It's protection for you should I violate the terms we've set." She slowly regenerated when she asked for the bracelet back. "You'll be wearing it around your neck, which in turn will take my head off."
"Whoa! Why the hell would you do that!" Now Moonbay was scared Rei had some death wish.
"Because it means you can rest assured I will never go astray. You're submitting to my whims, and with the kind of power I have, the temptation is never far behind."
"Again, why? Wouldn't losing your head kill you?"
"Yeah, as it would any other. I do this to help those under my care feel more at ease. I wouldn't risk my current life, and it adds to the excitement," she explained, writing down their terms and adding her signature. "Once you sign it, the contract will take effect."
"You didn't have me sign it before; what makes it necessary this time?" Moonbay wasn't stalling for time. She wanted to know, and Rei was being honest so far. Rei handed her the pen.
"The scale of the contract. Since you only gave me a small rule to follow, the punishment was small, or at least to me, its minor."
"E-yeah, I haven't seen anyone regrow a hand." She looked at the contract again. "So this requires more trust, which means the explosion that kills you will be stronger too. Right?" Rei heard the concern in her voice. It gave her a small taste of delight. The twisted angel was moved and plotted to make the girl regret getting attached. She put her hand on the girl's shoulder and kissed her cheek, smiling tenderly.
"I wouldn't be surprised if you looked into my past. Mei told me your mother never said anything about our time, so you had to find someone who could tell you what I am capable of." Moonbay's face was burning red from the vortex of emotions beating around in her head. Her heart was racing and beating through her chest. She heard the stories, so logically she needed to run, but something primal kept her rooted to the floor.
She growled, asserting her will to break free of what Rei was doing to her. She grabbed her chest, panting and feeling like a great weight was lifted off her shoulders.
"Y-yeah, I did. I know you can be sweet and equally as cruel. One of the girls you had under your care mentioned you could control minds." She held up the paper, waving it at the angel and making a slight whipping sound. "Am I wrong to assume you'd do it to me?"
"No, you're well within your rights to assume, and you'd be correct." Moonbay gulped, watching Rei's mouth curl up in her signature grin. "Though, I would need your permission first. It helps to expend the energy properly."
"Expend the energy?" Moonbay caught herself in a trap of inquiry. Learning about Rei's abilities, even a fraction, was almost enough to make her sign. She shook her head to clear the cobwebs out and stared Rei down. "You're just going to drop that on me and not expect me to get upset?"
"Dear, I'd be more concerned and intrigued if you hadn't raised a fuss." Rei walked closer, pushing Moonbay back towards the door, keeping her head on a swivel and watching the angel for any signs of setting up a trap or a spell like the charm. Panic was setting in her chest, her lungs pulling in air and her heart ready to break out from behind her ribs. All of this was starting to scare her. Again, she summoned all of her willpower and snapped out of the fog Rei was laying around her.
"OKAY!" Moonbay screamed and pointed the contract at Rei. "That's enough. I know you won't hold us here, but I will leave if you don't stop pushing things on me like this!"
"Moonbay, I haven't done anything but touch you. Any sensation is your own, so I am not to blame for what you're feeling."
"You expect me to believe that?" Moonbay said with dry sarcasm. She was determined to choose with a clear mind and no influence from Rei. The look on Rei's face shattered that delusion, a grin gently draped across her lip. "What's with that look?"
"You said it yourself." There was a considerable gap between them, and Rei cleared it in under a second. She was smiling at the panda, pinning her against the door without touching her. Moonbay felt her heart leap into her throat and rob her of any chance to speak. "I want you to know that you're choosing to join me. I don't need to influence anything. Whatever these feelings are, they're yours and yours alone. My aura amplified it when I touched you."
"H-hold the fuck up." Moonbay squeezed out, her body heating up by the second and most of it going between her legs. Her legs were weakening, her arms losing strength and going limp at her sides. The contract and pen fell from her hands, almost hitting the floor before Rei caught them with her powers. Moonbay noticed but never paid it any mind. She focused on Rei and never allowed her out of sight. "You're saying I already felt this way before you came in here?"
"Yes, its much easier to manipulate feelings when they exist in a person. Let's use you as an example." She leaned in, their lips so close and still so far. Moonbay couldn't push the image from her head; the two of them locked in a kiss that would suck out her soul if that was a thing. "See how your lip quivers being so close to mine? I am not doing this. My aura is making your desires stronger until they eventually overwhelm you." She moved in for the kiss. Both of them closed their eyes. Moonbay silently admitted it. She wished for Rei as much as they desired her. Suddenly the angel vanished and left Moonbay down to the floor. Her mind was clear, and her body was a hot mess of hormones.
"Fuck!" She cried out and held her face with a groan. Rei was right. Moonbay wanted this, and she was dicking around with it. Mei wasn't going to approve, but they needed protection. She looked at the contract and huffed, bracing it on her leg, doodling her signature at the bottom. "Okay, you win." As the words came out of her mouth, Moonbay witnessed the pen and paper come to life, floating in the air in front of her. The contract rolled itself up and reshaped into a decorated collar to wear. She gulped, reaching and taking it. The collar went limp in her hand, slowly; Moonbay held it out to wrap it around her tender neck. Her heart was beating fast again, making her grow hotter by the second. There was no surprise to what came next. The door opened, making Moonbay gasp and scoot away before she met Rei's eye in the door. An accomplished smile on her face.
Moonbay scoffed and stood up, trailing her fingers along the collar's edge. It was more comfortable than she expected. "You didn't make me do this, right?" She points at her lip to signify Rei's smile. Rei gently takes her hand and pulls her into a loving embrace. Their lips met again, and the addicting taste of the kiss hooked Moonbay. She couldn't fight it off, nor did she want to. It was too late; Rei had her pet, and things were about to get weird for Moonbay.
Rei leads the girl down the hallway and upstairs to the higher floors. Moonbay's mouth ran dry. It was like eating cotton balls after they broke the kiss. Rei could have been lying, but the contract would kill her if she did. Timidly she ran her fingers over the collar again; something about it sat so well with her. Moonbay couldn't explain it. One of her exes tried to suggest pet play, but the feeling of the collar turned her away. Now, it felt different. Perhaps Rei was right about her. She wouldn't feel like this if the desire wasn't already there.
Moonbay looked ahead to see Rei's bedroom door. Tall and made from velvet mahogany with golden trim along the edges. The doorknob clicked, turning without anyone touching it, and the door slowly swung open. Moonbay had to shield her eyes from the bright shimmer of light bouncing off the gold. "You certainly stick to a theme, huh?"
"Yes," she sits Moonbay on the bed and compassionately rubs her cheek. Moonbay closed her eyes and leaned into her hand with a soft sigh. The feeling was just as sweet as the kiss. "My true body is made from those two spectrums of light." Moonbay's ears flicked when she looked up at Rei.
"You're made of light." Rei nodded.
"Yes, this shell is just the external vessel I use to interact with people." She sat down next to Moonbay; the door closed and locked itself before they came together for another kiss. Moonbay's selfishness started to grow, taking over every thought until only this person in front of her was the focus of her attention
She wanted to ask about the vessel; what did that mean for Rei? Was it just a puppet? Her curiosity exchanged for an internal sea of lust that crashed into the walls of resolve that kept her focused on why she agreed to this, but it was getting chipped and eroded. Rei giggled, unbuttoning Moonbay's pants and sliding them off before gliding her hand along the panda's ample thighs. Her fingers reached around and squeezed the girl's plump ass making her squeak and scramble to the head of the bed. The fog was lifting from her head, a look of fear in her eyes. Rei could read them like a book. "Have I crossed a line?" Moonbay slowly nodded.
"Yeah," she wiped the tears from her face. "An ex of mine talked me into doing anal, and it didn't end well for me. I'm rather iffy about having someone behind me. Doggy style is fine as long as you don't mess with the other hole. Okay?"
"As you wish." Rei sat up on the bed, her clothes slowly melting off and revealing her beautiful body. Moonbay confirmed she had to be a lesbian to appreciate Rei as she is. She was breathtaking, and underneath, Moonbay was getting a taste of the darker side of the angel. She took in a deep breath before looking down and gasping at the sight of a limp bulge dangling between Rei's legs. Her eyes were transfixed on the shaft as it came to life, rising with Rei's arousal until it stood firm and erected, pointing at Moonbay. "What's wrong? Never seen someone like this before?"
"I don't know what I was expecting." She watched it bob and sway as Rei crawled over to her. Moonbay stared her in the eye, her breathing becoming ragged and heavy. "So is this normal for you?"/
"Hmmm, normal-ish." She sat up and sensually rubbed her body all over. Her nipples are getting hard and erect, the golden lines gliding on her hips and thighs. From her back, a pair of wings appeared. Moonbay gasped, watching them emerge and multiply into sets of two. "My body is made of light. Black and Gold. Do you remember learning about prisms?"
"Yeah," She reached out and shuddered, feeling the softness like goose down in a pillow. "So your body is made from the lights that get absorbed by Black and Gold." Rei nodded, turned her back towards Moonbay, and retracted her wings to reform them into a tattoo called an ink mark on her back. Moonbay turned into a little kid, touching Rei's back and feeling only the fur of her coat. "Wow, the other women said these were your signature. How someone could see it was you."
"Yes, it was for a time, but after a while, it turned into a fad with the youth. No different than the Internet trends we see so often."
"Now, I prefer to keep to myself. It helps maintain my sanity." Rei smiled, crawling closer to Moonbay. She was shivering from the growing anxiety in her chest. Her heart was jumping around like a panicked bird in its cage. Rei planted a kiss on her lips, the girl's body turned to stone. It froze her place while Rei's hands explored her curves and every inch of exposed skin before they slid under her shirt and lifted it off. She threw it to the floor and grabbed the edge of Moonbay's bra with her teeth. She pulled it down under the ample mound and left the woman a shuddering mess when the cool air gently kissed her areola, making it harden and erect. Rei takes her tit in her hand and locks eyes as she sticks her tongue out and slowly circles the nipple. Moonbay turned her head away and covered her mouth to hide the noises she was making. She cursed her body for having such sensitive bits. She never could wear just a shirt because the fabric would rub against them and send shivers up her back. Moonbay arched her back, melting on the bed while Rei sucked and teased her nipples with gentle bites. A hand went down between her thighs. Her eyes flew open with an inhaling hiss after two fingers pushed their way past her twitching folds. She looked down, seeing Rei's hand teasing her cunt, moving her walls apart to make them convulse and pull on her hand. "Mmmm, so needy and so nervous. Are you sure you've made love before?"
"I... Oh, fuck..." Her train of thought was getting knocked off track with Rei playing with her like this. She was losing strength fast and suspected Rei's ability was affecting her again. Like she said before, it wouldn't happen if Moonbay didn't feel anything towards Rei. She had been hungry for this angel since they met, and now it was time to pay the piper after living in her house for a week. She let out a long whine after Rei pushed the third finger in, spending several minutes toying with the doomed panda and getting her so worked up that any futile resistance is wiped away with the growing ocean of lust sloshing around in Moonbay's head. She gave up, letting it take her while Rei savored the taste of her soft areolas while she worked her like a puppet.
Moonbay's eyes were rolling upward from the stimulation. Rei was older than she could imagine and had so much time to perfect ways to drive her partners crazy. Her body belonged to Rei now, which was only the beginning of their 'relationship'.
While she was distracted, Rei let go of her nipple and pushed her legs apart to get between them. Moonbay gasped, watching Rei coming closer to her and sliding their shaft against her pussy. She hissed, bracing herself before it went inside, pushing against her convulsing walls. Rei groaned, feeding the entire length into the girl. Her hips started to move in slow, smooth circles to build up the sensation between them. Moonbay lost her voice from it. She could only communicate in intelligible grunts and groans, reaching up to grab Rei. Their lips touched for another intoxicating kiss.
Their rhythm had Moonbay wildly moaning while Rei fed her aura into the girl. She gasped, pulling away and leaning her head back on the pillow. Her mouth was agape with sharping panting breathes echoing off the headboard. Rei grinned, picking up the pace and pushing deeper to the girl's core to erode any resistance from her. Rei never sugarcoated that angels are masterful puppeteers, and Moonbay was letting her attach the strings. Every push sent lightning through Moonbay's body and leaving her skin tingly all over. She tried to get a firm grip on the angel, but Rei sat up, thrusting their hips harder and faster to make her breasts bounce on her chest. After a few minutes, the weight started to cause Moonbay some annoying pain, yet she enjoyed it along with the pleasure Rei was giving her.
Moonbay looked up at Rei, watching them thrust into her and building them both up to the peak. "Rei~" her voice was so weak from the overwhelming stimulation. "If you wanted... Could you..."
"...put a baby in that womb of yours?" Moonbay was surprised to hear her speaking so well in this state, but she nodded and crossed her arms over her breasts to keep them from bouncing so hard. Rei chuckled as they reached up and grabbed her arms, pulling them to the sides to let Moonbay's breasts move freely despite the discomfort. Moonbay whined, struggling against the angel's strength, and then submitted again. She asked herself what would be the point of fighting? Her mind was buzzing with so many questions until their sensual interaction melted them away. Their movements, the feeling of their flesh on hers, and the scent that filled her nose when they came closer; all of it was becoming poison for her, and she was drinking it happily.
"Rei..." She wanted to say something, but the words escaped her while Rei continued to thrust their hips. The angel giggled, watching her eyes fog over with desire. Something about this girl resonated with Rei, and they intended to take full advantage of it.
"Rei!" Moonbay had to force herself to speak. The angel stopped and looked her in the eye, tilting their head to the side.
"Yes?" Moonbay's eyes fluttered open. They hadn't been at it long, and already her mind was slowly resigning to Rei's influence. It gave them control; Moonbay wasn't sure how she felt about it.
"Can I be on top for a bit?" Rei nodded, pulling away and making Moonbay whimper from feeling so empty. She rubbed her folds to keep them stimulated and wet as she watched Rei lay down on the bed. With a deep breath, she straddled her hips and lowered herself down. Another moan escaped her throat, the experience of having an angel fuck her was becoming more appealing than anything had before. She started to move up and down, her pussy taking it all in without any effort. It seemed like Rei's flesh was molding itself to suit her desires. Another method to keep her coming back was Moonbay's guess before the pleasure took over again. Her breasts swayed gently as she moved up and down.
Their bodies slapped together each time she came down. The clapping sounds echo off the walls and bed frame, spreading her juices all over Rei's belly. She scooped up some on their fingers and licked them clean to savor the girl's taste some more. Moonbay felt so unclean, and she continued to ride the cock with wild eagerness. "You like this, don't you?" Rei looked Moonbay in the eye as she played with her breasts, the tenderness of her flesh fueling her arousal. "Worming your way into a young woman's mind and turning them into your pet? That's what you're doing to me, I know!"
"And yet, you're still riding me." She grinned, placing their hands over hers and squeezing them to make her whine. "Don't play like I'm the only one at fault here."
They reached up, grabbing Moonbay by the collar and pulling her closer until she saw only the amber glow of their eyes. "You chose this. To be my plaything, a little fuck toy I can toss away once I'm bored with you." Moonbay couldn't breathe. Her body was still moving on its own, and Rei was grinning, filling her with primal fear again. "All that matters to me are my desires, wants, and needs." They twisted the collar to restrict Moonbay's breathing. Hearing her gasping made it so enjoyable for them. "Don't forget your place, little bitch." Moonbay was learning Rei would degrade her in every way. Only the future would say what they had in mind next.
"Fuck you." She growled out and slammed her hips down on Rei to surprise her. "I looked into your past. You can control people using the collars you make them wear. That's why my body hasn't stopped moving." She smiled back at the shocked Rei while her hips rolled on their cock, eagerly milking it. "You're going to need more than degrading words to make me beg. That's what you want. To hear me cry like a little girl. Guess what, fucker! It won't be easy..." Rei slapped her across the face. Her body finally stopped as she held her face; her eyes widened with shock. She stared at her, wanting to gaze on the fear all mortals had towards angels. They would be disappointed seeing it fading away slowly before Moonbay grinned.
"Knew it." Rei wasn't sure what was going on. Usually, her pets were frail and weak-minded, but Moonbay seemed more resilient. It piqued her interest more than anyone else. Seeing her smile gave Moonbay a sense of unease before Rei's body disappeared between her legs, and she felt a hand shoving her forward into the pillow. She struggled to look back at whatever form Rei took and squeaked like a helpless mouse when the face of a stout dragon was staring her down with a drooling grin.
"Let's see how long you can hold out." She slid back into her, moving hard and fast. Moonbay let out a pained moan while her claws hooked into the panda's hips and pulled her back. Her body was getting jerked back and forth, the friction from the bedsheets left her breasts stinging as she clung to the pillow. She screamed into the fabric, so Mei didn't hear her. Everything started to spin around Moonbay, her mind getting slammed around by the tidal waves of lust. There's no question she was going aching all over by the time Rei was done with her, and yet there wasn't a single regret in her heart. Challenging Rei was just a trick to get them to be more aggressive. She wouldn't say it yet, but there was an itch, and no one succeeded in scratching it until today. Although she wasn't expecting Rei to have some unnatural levels of stamina. She was at their mercy for a half-hour while they fucked her senseless and dragged it out. Numbing pain washed over her body after two violent orgasms, and Rei was still ramming their cock inside her. She couldn't speak, just guttural groans and moans while her eyes lost all signs of life. Moonbay wouldn't forget this moment for a while.
Time slipped away from them. It meant nothing to Rei, who lived for who knows how long, and Moonbay stopped paying attention as she clutched onto the pillows and rode Rei's member that rearranged her insides with powerful thrusts. Her throat was getting hoarse from screaming, tears streaming down her cheeks from the painful ecstasy ravaging her body, and her mind adrift in an ocean of passion like a sailor clinging to a liferaft. Whimpering and shivering, Moonbay was content to stay like this. To be at the angel's mercy and forget about being an adult for a time. She and Mei needed a moment to catch their breaths before trying to build their lives up again, but that was for another day. At this moment, Rei was going hard and slow; their hips were slapping against Moonbay with loud pops, the panda's juices were drizzling down her legs. Clear signs she was mentally and almost physically, gone.
A sudden warmth exploded inside Moonbay. Her body seized up as she clenched the sheets and let out an animalistic moan. Rei finally came. The volume of their seed pushed Moonbay over the edge again, hitting her with another orgasm and leaving her broken, panting and whining, on the bed after she pulled out. Her legs were shaking; her back was aching from her hips to her shoulders, and her mind was still floating around in the air before slowly fluttering down to reality. She turned to Rei when they took a pillow that supported her head and smiled, laying on her back.
"Had enough?" Moonbay nodded as her body rolled on its side, letting Rei be the big spoon. She gently wrapped her in a loving hug and kissed the nape of her neck. "Mmmm, good. Now you see what you're in for." Moonbay was scared to think of what this being behind her had planned next, but curiosity told her to remain. Something about them hooked Moonbay. She couldn't admit it out loud; she was grateful they came here. Grateful to be owned. Little did the panda know what that entailed. For now, she closed her eyes. Thoroughly exhausted, Moonbay went to sleep, waiting for the new day ahead.
