"So what I'm saying is, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be a bother on you the other day, and I certainly didn't intend to cause as much havoc as I did...I just...I'm sorry I don't even know your name so this is awkward. Sir, I would be honored if you would allow me the pleasure of being your loveslave or...live in maid...living furniture...I just need to be near you and show you my love. I...recognize this is rather sudden but since you broke up that little spat that Berserker and I were having the other day I realized that you're my heart and soul...and that my greatest joy could be found in serving you."
I stared mouth agape at the stunningly beautiful young woman before me. A short, lithe figure dressed and styled in goth apparel, with shining purple eyes and jet black hair. Her dress could be loosely described as clothing but more closely resembled a black lace lingerie bodysuit with strategically placed strips of fabric, wrapped in a leather corset that accentuated her spectacular curves. I knew whom she was, at least, from the news. They called her Madame Demonica. I'd met her before, only once, a couple days prior outside of a liquor store in Miami. I'd found her and another woman unconscious in an alley surrounded by broken glass from what looked like a whiskey bottle. Both of them had been bleeding from the ears and nose, and I'd taken them to medical care as quickly as I could as I knew an ambulance could take some time. I briefly considered it odd that she'd been released considering she likely had warrants out for her arrest, before remembering she likely hadn't been released at all.
"Sir...uhm...my beloved...master...I'm sorry can I ask your name? It would make this much less awkward. I'll be sure to observe honorifics if you wish but it would fill me with joy to know my beloved's name...if that would please you sir". She pleaded nervously, tripping over her own words. None of the confidently sexually powerful witch who blasted heros out of the sky and swayed men to war with the cleft of her breast and a lingering word, she behaved more like a nervous teen talking to her crush.
"Ty...my name is Ty. Uhm...could you explain to me...how you came to this conclusion? That you wanted to...serve me?" I asked nervously, running my hand through my hair and down the back of my neck. I honestly had no idea what was going on, let alone how to deal with it. I'm a sales rep for a liquor brand, not anyone who deals in superheroes or villains.At my acknowledgement of her words, her eyes lit up, I suspect either my name or the fact I wasn't outright rejecting her logic. She leaned forward, giving me a cheeky smile, and I suspect an intentionally tantalizing look at her exposed cleavage.
"Oh see that's simple, you see I'd stolen an item called the Dowry of Inanna from a rich collector's yacht, it was a gem created by one of the seven gods of creation to...well the technical term would be marry but it was more of a soul binding than marriage, basically to force the goddess Inanna to marry him. It's reality level magic, creation energy from the start of the universe, designed to enslave a god. An artifact like that could power my magic and keep me young and beautiful for...well I don't know exactly when the sun will burn out but sometime after that. Berserker, that ginger do-gooder bitch, saw me flying across the city and threw a bottle of whiskey at me. Seriously, who does that?" She paused to make sure that I was on her side in this matter, so I gave a sympathetic nod.
"Anyway, I can deflect things like that if I see them coming, but I wasn't expecting it and it hit me out of nowhere. I'm guessing I blacked out for a minute because next thing I know I'm falling towards the ground too fast to weave spellwork. Well the dumb bitch tried to catch me, like, falling me. Not that I'm not grateful, the pavement would've been much less soft. But essentially I landed in her arms, the dowry activated and blew us both apart, I was wed to the next person I saw, who happened to be the man who picked me up off the pavement and loaded me into his truck and took me to the hospital. Oh my god I never said thank you for that did I?!" She jumped from her chair looking as though she'd committed the worst crime imaginable. "I apologize Ty my love please feel free to punish me in any way you see fit...or allow me to make it up to you with my love and my devotion!" She begged, throwing herself at my feet. I jumped back slightly, causing her to wince as if struck by cold water.
"No no no you're okay. I'm sorry, I just...this is all very sudden. I went out last night to get white wine to make a sick friend chicken soup and now the world's most powerful criminal sorcerer is proclaiming her love to me from my couch. You have to understand that it's...jarring" I chuckled nervously. Looking at the flawless woman before me I felt every single flaw in my own body. Don't get me wrong I'm not ugly, just, not perfect. I'd like a better jawline, my hair though long got frizzy in the dry summer air. My teeth weren't perfectly white or perfectly straight. And lastly although I was tall and pretty muscular I much more resembled the term Dad Bod that Adonis. I was taller than average at 6′4 but it mostly just made my already big form look even bigger. All of these things usually rested far from the forefront of my mind, but staring down at a woman who looks like she was sculpted out of clay to tempt god himself, well, a mirror is more unkind the longer you stare.
"Oh My love...I understand. I'm so sorry for dumping all this on you at once I just...wanted to make you aware of my devotion as soon as I could. And please, don't think of me as a criminal or a villain. Granted I've been known as one in the past, and even I can acknowledge that my actions weren't always...above board. But, I'm yours now. If you wish me to turn over a new leaf and do only righteous deeds you have but to ask. And if you wish that I should conquer the world in your name, give me the world and you'll hold it in your palm. My morality...much like the rest of me...is now at your disposal. And...it is very...flexible" She smiled seductively, inching even closer. This time I didn't shy away.
"I...how...Can you get up off the floor? I'd like to speak as equals for the time being even if you don't feel we are" I chuckled again, still nervously. She nodded and climbed onto the arm rest of my chair, leaning against my side. It wasn't what I'd meant, but being so close to someone so beautiful wasn't something anyone would complain about. Seeing her up close like this I could get a better feel for her body. She was around 5′4 with large full breasts, I'd estimate triple D or F cups, that seemed to spite gravity in their lace veils. She possessed a plump but respectably bouncy ass and voluptuous and supple thighs which she pressed against my arm. She smelled like honeysuckle and fresh cut grass, a nostalgic smell from my childhood that filled me with warm feelings. I suspected it was one of her enchantments, but it was so alluring I couldn't shake from my mind that she smelled like home. "So...what you're saying is you accidentally smashed a rock and now you're my wife?" I asked nervously. She smiled and looked at me in a way that a parent would look at a child when they said something adorable, but hopelessly stupid, but with her angelic features it made my heart flutter.
"That's one way to look at it, yes. I mean, if you'd like to marry me in an actual ceremony I'll happily be your bride...it would be..." Her eyelids fluttered briefly and I could see and feel her body twitch a little. "I mean...to know that you loved me that much in return would bring me no end of pleasure My Love." She smiled, accentuating the final syllables. "However if you should choose to view me as simply a pleasure object, to be used at your discretion...or even just a slave to order around at your whims...I'll do any of it with eagerly" She purred. Her eyes now seemed heavy and half lidded, and her smile had turned to one of predatory seduction instead of anxious excitement. It took me a moment to process what had just transpired, but a new scent of arousal cut through the magical ones.
"Uhm...what can I call you? Lady Demonica seems a little...well, clunky, for just casual conversation like this..." I chuckled nervously.
"Monica is fine, it's my given name anyway. Monica Roos, though I try to keep that a secret...but I know I can trust you Ty. I mean, you're my soulmate, plus if you wanted everyone to know I'd shout it from the rooftops...if that would make you happy." She looked as though she desperately wanted something, but just couldn't as, her body was shivering with anticipation.
