A Hellhound’s Heart
After rescuing a demigoddess of the forest, Sam is met with a surprising revelation regarding Eris...
Au contraire, Mon Capitan! Heeeee’s baaaaaack! (Mariachi music intensifies)
I’m finally back writing after a few weeks’ hiatus :D
Be sure to comment and make what you thought of it known ;)
Sam woke up the next morning sore as all Hel and trapped under a sleeping Deia. She'd used him to satisfy her needs outside of his tent for who knows how many hours. Luckily her fur and body heat kept him warm throughout the night. But the warmth didn't exactly help his lower body, which seemed to have shattered into splinters, to say nothing of his aching dick. Carefully, Sam removed himself from under the gnoll and put his clothes on. She was definitely going to be a handful, but it'd sure be worth it. He went over to check on Eris and Chloe, who had taken up residence in his tent for the night, and found them spooning, snoring peacefully. Sam smiled at the rather cute sight. Indeed, this morning was a nice one save for the pain in his lower body: the sunrise, the cool forest air, the elk-like bugling echoing through the trees… Wait a minute...
Sam ran through the woods, leaving the rest of the still-sleeping group behind. He followed the sound of the bugles, no doubt belonging to some kind of cervine animal or fantastic creature in distress. As he got closer, he heard the harsh grunts and cruel laughter of men, and Sam assumed the worst. Bursting through the brush into a clearing, he was met with a horrible sight. A gang of rough-looking men and women armed with swords, daggers, and spears had surrounded a beautiful light brown white-tailed doe caught in a suspended net. They laughed and jeered cruelly at the doe, who bugled and struggled to no avail.
“Draco!" shouted Sam, a bluish-black star-patterned spectral dragon erupting from a tattoo on his chest with a roar. The ghostly dragon charged the humans harassing the trapped doe, who promptly ran away screaming in terror.
After biting through the rope holding the net together and gently lowering the doe to the ground, Draco dissipated back to Sam's chest. After the doe rose to her hooves and shook off the net, he only then noticed she was rather… different. The first thing he noticed was that she was bigger than most deer, being around the same size as a small horse. The second was that she actually had antlers, albeit small ones with two points. But the thing that Sam looked at the most were the feathery wings that lay folded at her sides. He recalled tales of winged deer demigods called perytons, protectors of the wild that also represented fertility and parenthood. Given one of his group was a daemon dog from Hel, a peryton didn't surprise him in the least. The peryton looked at Sam with gentle violet eyes, then bowed gracefully, extending one foreleg, tucking in the other, and lowering her front half and head.
“Thank you, human." she said in a soothing, motherly voice.
“You're welcome," said Sam, enamored by her presence. It made him feel all warm and cozy inside. “You're a peryton, aren't you?"
“That I am," said the peryton. “My name is Amalthea, and I am in your debt."
“What?" asked Sam in confusion. Was he seriously going to have a demigoddess join the group?
“On my honor as a demigoddess, I swear fealty to whoever saves me from death, as we perytons are only immortal in age. In this case, that savior was you. Whatever you ask of me, I will do it without question."
It was at this point that Sam's aches returned, pain pulsing throughout his entire lower half, but especially his groin. Given their sensitivity, it was safe to say his cock and balls hurt a fair bit.
“Can you help me with this pain in my… everything from the waist down?" asked Sam.
“Sure thing, master," said Amalthea, turning her back to Sam. Sam was about to question her calling him “master" and why she was turning around, but his mouth and mind faltered as he looked upon a set of heavily swollen udders. It closely resembled a cow's in shape and size: pink, bulbous, and possessing four teats. Ordinarily Sam wouldn't have found such a thing sexy, but considering his current position as a womanizer of non-humans of varying body types, one could understand his sudden attraction.
“Go ahead, master. Drink up." said Amalthea, looking back at Sam with a warm smile.
“Uh…" said Sam, taken my surprise at the invitation to drink from a doe's udders.
“Is something the matter?" asked Amalthea.
“No, no," said Sam as he approached her udders and knelt, not wanting to offend the demigoddess by refusing her offer. “Nothing's wrong." He eyed an outer teat with slight hesitancy in his face, but forced his way through it and wrapped his lips around the teat and suckled once. Immediately, warm, sweet milk flowed into his mouth and down his throat. Much to his surprise, Sam found himself eagerly gulping down more and more of Amalthea's milk, comparable to godly nectar in his opinion. Due to the combination of pain relief, the taste, and how it made him feel all fuzzy inside, he almost lost himself, only for a small gasping moan to reach his ears.
“Sorry," said Sam as he withdrew from the teat and stood up, wiping his face of a few stray dribbles. “You okay?"
“Don't worry, I'm fine," reassured Amalthea. “They're just a little sensitive is all. That, and it felt quite nice. I can't remember the last time someone drank that much from me, if ever. How do you feel?"
“Great," said Sam, taking note of how his lower half was no longer throbbing in pain. “What say we head back to my camp? I'm sure the others would like to meet you."
“Others?" asked Amalthea in confusion before following Sam, her stride graceful and ladylike.

Eris paced back and forth outside the tent she and Chloe were sleeping in, her tail lashing with irritation. She had woken up to tease Sam about being stuck underneath Deia all night, but much to her surprise, he was gone. She figured he'd gone to hunt or gather breakfast, but surely he should've been back by now, right? Truth be told, she was starting to worry, but she couldn't figure out why. Her heart and mind raced as she tried to figure out these strange new feelings that were assaulting her. But luckily, her waiting came to an end when she finally saw the human come walking into the clearing… with an unexpected guest.
“Demigoddess!" shouted Eris as her hackles rose, Sam and Amalthea whipping their heads in her direction.
“Daemon!" shouted Amalthea back. Their eyes glowed blue and violet respectively, and a feeling of powerful magic energy surrounded them. Whatever was going on, Sam wasn't sure he'd like the end result. Swiftly he put himself between the hellhound and peryton.
“STOP!!!" he shouted, raising his hands in the air and looking at them both, switching between the two. “What's the matter with you two!?"
“There's a daemon in our midst and she needs to be banished from this realm back to Hel!" said Amalthea, her gentle demeanor no more.
“Well little miss Goody Four-Hooves and the rest of her kind are why daemons are looked down upon in the first place," hissed Eris. “Besides, I've been exiled from Hel, so good luck banishing me back there. Baphomet will just poof me back up here again."
“Okay," said Sam. “Now could you guys just ease up on the all-powerful magic and let me explain!?" A moment of silence followed as the daemon and demigoddess exchanged one final glare.
“Fine." they said in unison, their auras dissipating.
***
And so it went that Sam explained everything that had happened from his introduction to Eris up until now, including introducing Chloe and Deia.
“And now you know," said Sam, looking at Eris and Amalthea as they continued to stare daggers at each other. “Now could you both just get along if you're going to stick with this little group?"
“Well, the chances of me getting along with this bitch are unlikely," said Eris. “But for you, Sam, I'll put up with her."
“Likewise." said Amalthea.
“Okay, I'm going to go into town and buy some supplies. Whatever you two do, don't blow each other up while I'm gone. Consider this an exercise in trust. Deia, you want to come and help?"
“Sure." said the gnoll as she followed Sam out of the clearing and onto the path to town. Eris sighed roughly in irritation before she nonchalantly hypnotized Chloe and took her into the tent for some stress relief.

One intense tribbing session later, Eris left an unconscious Chloe behind in the tent. Amalthea was dozing in the shade of a tree, looking beautiful even in sleep. The hellhound was tempted to mess with her, but she knew she had to keep her promise to Sam, so she settled for merely observing the deer goddess while she slept. Eris had to admit, she was really beautiful… in a stuck up, prissy kind of way. Eris made her way to her rear, where she was met with the sight of her large udders.
“Holy shit…" said Eris quietly to herself as she went in for a closer look. She gently poked the soft, jiggly flesh with her snout, taking deep whiffs of the sweet-smelling milk inside. It was then that an idea began to form inside Eris' mind. She smiled deviously to herself as she walked away from Amalthea, eager to set her plan in motion when Sam returned.
Sam… Her smile faded as she remembered those strange feelings she felt earlier. She couldn't describe them. It was like her heart was going to burst out of her chest, a warmth spreading from the pads of her paws to the tips of her ears. Once again her heart and mind went at a million miles an hour, struggling to process what she was going through.
“What the Hel is going on with me?" she asked herself.
***
Sam and Deia returned to camp, the supplies within Sam's pocket dimension consisting mostly of food and drink to sustain them without needing to hunt or forage. Eris, laying down in the tent, watched as he made his way to a still napping Amalthea and gently woke her. The human stuck a hand into his pocket dimension and gave the peryton a pastry. In return, Amalthea rose and licked him on the forehead, smiling at him. Sam scratched behind her ears, causing Amalthea to close her eyes and coo blissfully. Eris laid her ears back and glared at the sight, another strange feeling coursing through her.
“You're jealous, aren't you?" asked Deia suddenly as she sat down next to the hellhound.
“What? No! I just… I just… don't really like how that demigoddess is being pampered by Sam is all."
“That's pretty much jealousy, girl." said Deia, raising an eyebrow as Eris blushed.
“Oh, shut up. Why does she get special treatment?"
“All he's done is give her a treat and scritched her a bit. Not to mention saved her life. So just come on and tell me what's the matter, girl to girl." Eris avoided Deia's stern gaze for a moment. Normally she was the one in charge, but now the hellhound felt a sudden vulnerability, like a great weight was set upon her shoulders. After a while, she finally sighed, looked to see if Sam was listening, and locked eyes with Deia.
“Alright, I'll tell you," she said sternly. “I think I might be… in love with Sam."
“YOU'RE WHAT!?" shouted Chloe, barging in from Deia's side suddenly as Eris recoiled in fear, hoping Sam hadn't heard.
“Shut up!" hissed the hellhound, quickly hypnotizing the kobold to sleep. Chloe instantly shut her eyes and began snoring before she hit the ground with a faceplant, her butt jiggling at the impact.
“So you really think you love him?" asked Deia, a sincere look in her eyes. Eris blushed even harder as she again laid her ears flat, then nodded wordlessly. “This won't get in the way of… 'fun' with all of us, right?" asked Deia.
“No, of course not. You know, 'friends with benefits' and all that. But that reminds me. I'm pretty sure I'll tell him tonight, before getting rid of my post-hypnotic suggestion in his mind and, admittedly, most likely some form of sexual activity."
“Well that much is a given considering… you," chuckled Deia. “Anyway, I wish you luck."
“Yeah, I'm probably gonna need it," sighed Eris. “Now if you excuse me, I'll be getting things ready." Eris grabbed a small bag containing her share of the money Deia had “persuaded" from the moody man at the tavern and teleported away to begin her preparation for tonight.
***
In time, the fateful hour arrived, the moon having since risen over the forest. The cool night air and the chirping of crickets provided a soothing effect on the camp. Sam made his way to his tent, having already wished the others save Eris good night. Strange she was nowhere to be seen. He hadn't heard from her practically all day. Must've been because she was miffed at the thought of taking a daemon's natural enemy into their group. He figured she'd get over it by tomorrow, as she didn't really stay mad for long. He turned to enter his tent… and was met with an unexpected… and extremely sexy, sight. It was Eris, laying on her side, clad in what seemed to be a set of lingerie. It was black and extremely tight, as evidenced by the prominent Y-shaped cameltoe facing Sam. It might as well have not even been there.
“Um… hello, Eris," said Sam after a moment of silent gawking. “What's with the getup?"
“Just a little something to surprise you." crooned Eris.
“Well, it's working," said Sam, feeling a heavy tightness in his pants. “Is this your way of apologizing for getting angry earlier?"
“Right, that," said Eris, dropping her seductive demeanor and rising into a sitting position. “Come in, Sam. There's something I've got to tell you."
“What is it?" asked Sam after he entered the tent and sat down next to the lingerie-clad hellhound, who had surprisingly not engaged in anything more than flirting as of yet.
“Look, I am sorry about how I acted earlier, and I should've given Amalthea the benefit of the doubt. I'll make it up to her tomorrow. But it's time I finally get this off my chest. Sam… I think I love you." Sam stared at Eris while she blushed deeply and lowered her head to the floor, covering her eyes with her paws and quivering. He'd never seen this seductive daemon dog act in such a manner before. Was it because she'd never been this open to anyone? Was it because she was a being of lust, and actual romantic love was alien to her? Was she just plain embarrassed?
“Really?" asked Sam.
“Yes, Sam. I'm sorry if it seems sudden, these feelings just appeared out of nowhere. Maybe they were there the whole time, I don't know, but whatever the case, what do you think of the situation?"
“Me? Well, I'm going to have to say I'm just as confused as you are, but I'm willing to accept your feelings even though I don't exactly feel the same way… at least not yet. So who knows? There's still a chance, just not right now."
“Okay, that's fine. At least I know I've still got a shot," chuckled Eris. “Look, seeing as though I want to further our relationship, I've decided to get rid of the trigger I put in your mind when we met."
“Really? Well in that case I'll remove that Collar of Submission."
“Sounds like a fair trade to me," said Eris, touching her snout to his forehead as he put the open palm of his hand against her neck. Eris' eyes pulsed with blue rings while a glowing white ring around her neck faded in, then shattered into shards of energy that dissipated into thin air. “Okay, that's that done." she said, her eyes returning to normal. While she was going to miss having near complete control over Sam, Eris told herself that this was probably for the best. All the better to build a relationship of trust, right?
“So… what now?" asked Sam, feigning ignorance as he looked at the lingerie adorning the hellhound.
“I can think of a few things," said Eris, her usual erotic self returning as she leaned closer to Sam, running a paw up and down his chest. “So as of right now we're still friends with benefits?"
“That we are," said Sam with a smile as he stroked Eris' head. “Whether or not we'll be more than that, only time will tell. But for now, I think it's time for some fun."
“Funny," chuckled Eris as she began to push Sam back with her paw, causing him to lay down. But when she hooked her tail underneath her lingerie bottom, she stopped. “You know what? How about you take the lead for this one. Consider it an extra service and a thank you. So go ahead, anything you ask of me, I'll do it." Sam rose and smiled at the uncharacteristic gesture. Ordinarily she'd be top dog in both senses of the word, taking control of the body and mind of whoever she saw fit to mess around with. Knowing that she was willing to take at least a neutral position just for him was quite nice.
“So what are you thinking?" asked Eris.
“I'm thinking maybe some grinding followed by cowgirl."
“You got it." said Eris with a smile as she stepped her way up to where their hips lined up. Eris lowered her hips, her canine cameltoe making contact with Sam's underwear-clad groin. The touch alone was enough to make both of them moan out softly. Slowly and surely, Eris began to run her still-covered pussy up and down the length of Sam's already engorging penis. By Baphomet, she'd never get tired of his magnificent cock. The lustful part of her wondered if all humans were this well endowed, but the rational side quickly shot that thought down, as Sam was the only one for her… at least when it came to humans. Eris rubbed her thick pussy lips up and down and side to side, teasing Sam's member as it achieved full hardness in no time at all. Upon feeling the stiff, throbbing flesh, Eris gave Sam a sensual grin and stepped away, removing the now dampened panties covering her pussy with her dexterous tail and flinging them onto Sam's face. The human inhaled her scent deeply, an intoxicating aroma entering his nostrils and assaulting his mind with lust. Eris took hold of Sam's underwear in her teeth and pulled slowly, taking her time just to tease him. At last, his cock sprang upwards, hitting Eris on the nose as the two of them chuckled.
Again Eris lined up their sexes and ground on him, this time laying his penis flat against his body and fitting it snugly in the cleft of her pussy. After a few grinds, Eris took hold of his cock in her tail and positioned it to where it was upright, and not a moment later, she hilted herself firmly onto it with an ecstatic moan. Sam grunted and grabbed hold of her hips as she began to rhythmically pump them up and down, her pussy squashing and stretching inward and outward from the push and pull of their unified sexes. Eris smiled at his touch, looking down at the face of her friend as it contorted with pleasure. Even if he didn't return her romantic feelings right now, the fact that he was open for it in the future caused the tempo of her heart and bouncing to increase. She leaned down to lick his face, lathering his cheeks with her warm saliva. In return, Sam moved his hands from her hips to her head, stroking the top of her head and scratching behind her ears. The blissful sensations only increased Eris' pleasure as she panted hard and shook a hind leg in reflex. Sam, on the other hand, was very much liking this new side to Eris. At last she didn't have to resort to hypnosis to have sex with him. And sure, her love confession took him by surprise, but that was no reason to put an end to their friendship. She understood that, as of yet, he wasn't ready, and that was fine enough. His thoughts were interrupted when he felt an intense throbbing in his groin.
“Eris," he moaned, the first word said during their unusually wordless coupling. “I'm gonna cum."
“Okay," moaned Eris in response. “Come on, cum inside me. Fill your hellhound bitch with your seed!" Sam had never heard Eris refer to herself as anything other than a dominant figure. Hearing her give in to submission was truthfully a bit hot despite him preferring her usual dominant side. With a loud groan, he grabbed hold of Eris' hips and gave one last thrust, his penis throbbing and firing load after load of hot cum deep into her vagina. In return, Eris screamed with pleasure as her pussy contracted and relaxed rhythmically, her bouncing on his groin turned fast-paced and frantic.
After a few moments, their movements slowed to a stop, with the end results of their coupling being a spent human and hellhound and a small flood of cum from the both of them. They panted as Eris collapsed on top of Sam, the two of them locking eyes.
“Sam," crooned Eris as the human scratched behind her ears once more. “Can I sleep with you tonight?"
“Of course, Eris." said Sam warmly. Eris smiled deeply as she snuggled into his chest. Afterglow and exhaustion overtook their minds and bodies, and as she slept, Eris dreamed of Sam…
