Note: I used to have this story on Literotica years ago under the penname EDS with plans to try to sell it. I've come to the decision that it might not be particularly marketable! That's okay, I've brought it back here for your enjoyment. Until next time. Keep your mind in the gutter!
"Pack your things, sister dear. It seems you've been bought."
Thana placed the ruby-red gova fruit into the bowl on the wooden table with a heavy thunk. Confusion filled her eyes as she looked up at her older sister. Enida stared back at her, smugly, with hands on her hips.
"What?" Thana whispered. She placed a hand on her chest to calm her wildly beating heart.
Each breath struggled for freedom from her lungs. She licked her lips nervously as her older sister's eyes darkened with mirth. Enida laughed at her, then grabbed her sister's dark, curly hair, forcing her to her feet. Thana yelled out in pain, tears stinging her blue-violet eyes. She clawed at Enida's hands, but Enida just laughed even more.
"I think you heard me. Father decided your service in our household is no longer necessary," the elder woman said as she sneered.
Enida gave her sister a shove with enough force to knock Thana to the floor. She sprawled on the treated dark wood, face covered to hide the looming tears.
She knew it would come to this someday. No high-ranking Demon Lord wanted a half-human as his child. Her father's townsmen and her sister constantly reinforced that she was a blemish on their society. And, despite it not being her fault that she was brought into the world, they hated her very being.
But she'd been a good child. No matter how much pain she felt, she was obedient to her father's and sister's every whim. Pain filled her as she realized all of that didn't make up for being a half-breed.
"I have done everything for you. Everything you could have asked. Have ever asked," Thana said.
She didn't look up, but she felt Enida kneel beside her. The other woman's face was close enough that Thana could feel hot breath on her neck.
"It is not what you have done for us," she said with sweet venom. "it's what you could not. You cannot undo your birth."
A knock at the door thundered through the home. Enida stood up quickly with an excited hoot. Thana pulled her head from the floor as though it were heavier than a boulder. She watched her sister rush across the room until she reached the large oak doors of the estate.
Enida smoothed her red velvet dress with both her hands and fluffed her hair. Satisfied with her appearance, she opened the door with a bright smile.
The man beyond the door looked like a beautiful death. His hair was waved gold and his skin whiter than milk. He gave Enida a cordial smile, along with a deep bow. Enida curtsied in return, then offered him entry into the home.
Shaky, Thana sat up from the floor. She drew her knees to her body and wrapped her arms around her calves. Behind her dark curls, she watched the man walk into what was once her home. His eyes were on her as he gallantly moved across the floor with barely a sound. He reminded her of a cat stalking its prey.
He stood before her, pale pink lips curled into a wicked smile. The man raised an eyebrow at her as his pale blue eyes traveled along her mostly hidden body. When he'd completed his search, those piercing eyes rolled back to her face, which caused a shiver down her spine. Those eyes reminded her of ice and she hated the look of them, yet she couldn't look away.
Enida moved beside Thana and kicked her thigh, causing her to jump. Her eyes shot up to her sister, who looked down at her with a sneer.
"Have you no respect? Greet our guest properly."
Thana's eyes were glossy with unshed tears. She shook her head quickly in refusal.
"You little wretch," Enida growled, grabbing at Thana's arm.
The guest took hold of Enida, placing his hand across her cheek. As easily as he'd done Thana, he'd captured the elder girl with his unblinking eyes. He grinned, displaying perfect, pointy teeth. Thana took the opportunity to slide away.
"Now, now, young one," his voice was a sensual whisper, "I believe she and I will have much time to become acquainted." His long fingernails dug into Enida's skin enough to bleed her. Thana gasped, yet felt a perverse pleasure in the act. It was about time someone else got hurt.
He let Enida go with a thrust, causing her head to jerk back. She placed a hand on her cheek as her body heaved with shallow breaths.
"My apologies," she murmured.
Her eyes cut across to Thana, who cowered next to the lounge. The look was scornful enough that Thana knew she would pay in these last moments in the home. When she looked back at the stranger, Enida gave him a forced, polite smile.
