"What did you do to me?" I asked Sister Theodora in confusion, my body tingling, the final spurts of my cum erupting into her pussy.
Mary squirmed beside us, her mouth covered in silver duct tape. She struggled against the plastic ties binding her wrists behind her back. She struggled to tell me something with her green eyes. Her auburn hair flew about her head as she thrashed. I cast my gaze back to the nun.
"Tell me," I snarled at the nun.
"I gave you my gift," she answered, her silver aura flashed black for a moment as my powers affected her. They shouldn't have. Moments ago, her aura had been the gold of a nun, making her immune to a Warlock's power. And then I came in her and she cast her prayer and... her aura went silver, the color of a normal person.
Even now, the silver returned to her aura, driving back the black. My control over her wasn't permanent. My question was a simple one, a command she would have followed if I hadn't ordered her. Other commands, ones that changed how a person thought, would make their auras permanently black—like the sluts' auras. Or like every cop I had encountered. I made them permanent Thralls by telling them that everything I did was legal.
And it wasn't. Not even close.
Those cops included the SWAT officers who raided our house and whom the nuns co-opted today to attack us.
"What?" I asked in confusion. The nun gave me her power? What was going on?
When I walked into the cabin to rescue my fiance, Mary, I had found Sister Theodora Mariam, the nun who had already attacked me through my sister, holding a gun to my fiancee's head. Anger swelled in me. First she used my sister, and then today she led a group of SWAT officers and a pair of other nuns to assault my home. She killed my followers—killed Chasity—and fled with Mary. I tracked them down with a spell and entered the house alone to save my soulmate.
With a gun to Mary's head, I would do anything to protect her. Sister Theodora gave me an ultimatum: if I didn't submit to the nun's exorcism, give up my Pact with the Devil, and lose all my powers, she would kill Mary. The choice was simple.
Mary.
It meant I would go to prison. Everyone I put under my power, all the cops, all the people I fucked, all the people whose lives I changed, awakening them to sexual freedom, would revert to whom they normally were. I had robbed banks. I had committed "terrorist" acts. The FBI still investigated me.
I would go to prison. But it would be worth it if Mary lived.
So I submitted. Sister Theodora mounted me, fucking me. She had to bring me to orgasm to exorcise me. I didn't fight the pleasure of her pussy. What was the point? I stared at Mary as the pleasures swelled in me, the nun's cunt hot and wet and sweet. When I came in Sister Theodora, I expected her to exorcise me and steal my powers. Instead, she gave me something else.
A golden power.
The power had sunk into the very fiber of my being, the very essence of my soul. It was at that moment her aura stopped being golden. Did that mean she wasn't a nun any longer? Well, my command worked on her. Was I a nun now? Or the male equivalent?
A priest? Monk?
I glanced at the last SWAT officer remaining. The rest were killed or captured by my bodyguards. He shook his head, frowning in confusion. Theodora's control over him was gone along with her powers, his aura black.
He glanced at me, recognized me. The commands I gave him after the raid two weeks ago triggered him to act. "Sir, do you need help?"
"Free me," I demanded, my wrists cuffed over my head. "And Theodora, go free Mary and then sit on the couch."
"All right," Theodora said and dismounted me while her aura went pure black, driving away the creeping silver.
The SWAT officer uncuffed me and helped me to my feet. I rubbed at my wrists, working circulation back into my fingers. I felt so strong as I stood there, my mind reeling. Was I a nun now? What had Theodora done to me?
Theodora bent down and ripped off the duct tape covering Mary's mouth.
"Damn," Mary winced then moistened her lips as Theodora seized Mary's hands bound behind her back and pulled at the plastic cuffs zip tied around her wrists.
"I can't do anything about the zip ties," Theodora said in a panic as she realized she couldn't fulfill my command.
"Fine, just sit on the couch." I motioned to the SWAT officer. "You, free Mary."
"Sir," he nodded and walked over to Mary, pulled out a knife, then cut the plastic zip ties restraining her.
Mary stared at me in astonishment, rubbing her wrists, and then she flew across the room, hugging me fiercely. I caught her, holding her against me. She shuddered, crying, her arms so tight about me, holding me with a desperate intensity.
"You were shot," she cried. She looked up at me, tears running down her face. "You were dying. How?"
"Lilith," I answered, remembering the dark void I had fallen into after I died and my discussion with Lilith. I made a deal with her. I was learning making deals with demons always came with hidden costs.
What would my Pact with the Devil cost beside my soul? And Mary's? Why had he made them with us? Why had he given us the means to summon Lilith?
No, those questions didn't matter right now. I had my fiancee back in my arms. I buried my face in her auburn hair, inhaling the flowery scent of her shampoo. I rocked her as she sobbed against me. Anger filled me. We both almost died today.
Alice, Mary's friend and lover, shot me. I bet she was under the control of Theodora. My gaze found the nun, anger building inside of me. She attacked us. Killed Chasity and five of my bodyguards. A white-hot rage gripped me as I stared at the woman as she sat calmly on the couch.
I looked at the SWAT officer. "Kill Sister Theodora Mariam."
He drew his 9mm sidearm. The very same handgun Theodora threatened my Mary with just minutes ago. Satisfaction filled me. Theodora glanced at the gun rising to point at her. Instead of fear, her face became calm, accepting. She closed her eyes, ready to face her punishment.
"No!" Mary pushed away from me. "Put the gun away!"
The SWAT officer froze as he struggled with conflicting commands. Mary and I were both Warlocks, and we both had made Pacts to get mind control powers. Mary received hers from Lilith. Mary feared what she would do if she ever possessed my mind control powers, so she didn't wish for them from the Devil when she made her Pact. But she had to surrender to the necessity of having them to save me from Sister Theodora's first attack, and used her final wish with Lilith.
"What are you doing?" I demanded.
Mary's auburn hair flew behind her as she slid between the man and Theodora, arms out-stretched. What was going on here? Did Theodora do something to Mary when the bitch captured my fiancee? Did the nun place some sort of spell on Mary? The damned nuns were cunning.
Theodora stared at Mary with blossoming hope.
"What's going on, Mary?" I demanded, the only person my powers could not affect. My last order to Mary was for her to ignore my orders, freeing her from my powers. "She killed Chasity."
Theodora flinched and tears fell from her eyes. Why did that make her cry?
"I know," Mary said, her voice hoarse. "Chasity died trying to save me. But..." Mary's lip quivered. "But she's my mother, Mark."
Mary's words crashed into me. I stumbled back a step, struggling to understand how that was possible. I stared at Theodora and I saw it. When I first walked in, I thought the nun, with her blonde hair, looked familiar. Mother and daughter had the same heart-shaped faces, same cheekbones.
"The golden thread," I whispered in shock.
When we cast the spell to let us see auras, we discovered a golden thread touching Mary and her two sisters, Shannon and Missy. The threads represented a person's connection to another. My thread to Mary's was tightly wrapped about her, both of ours red, and bound by black chains, the manifestation of Mary's wish for us to always be together.
We were soulmates. Which is the only reason Mary forgave me for what I did to her.
I must know someone who is a nun,
Mary had said when we discovered the thread last week.
"How?" I asked, still struggling to think. "I thought your mom ran off with a musician? Abandoned you, your father, and sisters to fuck around with a rock band."
"That musician was a Warlock," Mary answered. "He... he did some bad stuff to my mom. Karen rescued her, and Mom thought her relationship with Dad was destroyed so she became a nun."
