Thio looked worn and tired when he came back. He barely had the strength to crawl onto the bed and collapse face down. I sat down next to him and ran my hands over his back, trying for the soothing circles he often offered me.
"Thio?" I had never seen him like this. Should I be worried? Could demons get sick? Depressed?
"I'm fine." His voice was muffled by the bed. He rolled over and my hands went to his chest, his abs. Soothing touches as his eyes stared up at the ceiling.
"I was required to witness a brutal punishment today," Thio said, not looking at me. Punishment? "Sometimes we find humans who are resistant to our... to us."
He offered little more when I asked, so I stayed silent. My hands rubbing over his charcoal skin. It was smooth and the muscle underneath hard. I ran my hands over his pecks, toyed briefly with his nipples and ran my hands down his abs, toying just above his cock.
Thio groaned appreciatively at my touch and I saw his cock twitch as it started to harden. I moved down the bed and teased my touch around but never touching his cock. My hands slid down his thighs, teased his balls and then his inner thighs when his legs opened for me.
I stopped teasing. I bent over and ran my tongue along his stiffening cock, swirling the head and licking down until I sucked a ball inside my mouth. On my second pass I swallowed his cock down. I repositioned myself between his legs and started to bob up and down, taking his cock as far as I could manage.
Thio's hand came to my head. My hair had, thankfully, come back after the last adventure. His hand wrapped itself up and used it to control the pace and how much I took of his cock.
I shrieked when a hand came down on my ass. I tried to scramble away but Thio's hand kept my mouth pushed down over his cock. Hands behind me kept me in place, gripped my hips as I struggled for breath.
"She's still skittish," a voice said, laughing behind me. Thio released me enough to let my head come up for air but not to remove his cock completely from my mouth.
"Yes. It would have been your hide I'd taken it out of if she had bitten me."
Thio readjusted his grip in my hair before pushing my head back down on his cock. He slowly fucked my mouth as I calmed down.
Thio held a conversation with whoever it was that just came by while I sucked his cock. It was uncomfortable and embarrassing. I didn't like the surprise of it.
I was calmer when he started to push my head down faster and faster, but I was no where near where I was when we had started. Thio grunted as he came in my mouth and I worked on swallowing everything down.
Finally, Thio released me and I worked my way up the bed and under the sheet, turning my back on both of them.
I recognized the demon. Zep, from poker night. This was the first time I had ever seen anyone but Thio and I here. I didn't like it. This room was a place that I felt safe with Thio. Now Zep had ruined that for me. I was feeling bitter about it.
Glasses clinked with ice as I heard Thio work on making them drinks. I let myself curl into a fetal position. The thin sheet I had wrapped myself in was very little protection but at least it covered up me up. They spoke in their language, so I listened to the rough patterns, slightly curious as to what they could be discussing.
I was starting to drift off to sleep when the sheet was yanked down, exposing me once more. There was little point in protesting, but I didn't make it easy on Thio as he worked to uncurl me.
"Zep wants to play, Ember. Come," he demanded as I refused to move. His hand landed on my ass, hard, when he didn't get what he wanted. I couldn't help the squeal that came out of me.
Thio pulled me down the bed, my legs going on either side of his. Zep stood to the side, stroking his erection. He started to climb onto the bed when I scrambled away from him.
"No, no, no, no," I chanted as I fought Thio to get away. I had almost crawled up Thio when he shook me and forced my face up to look at him.
"Please, Thio, not here," I whispered. Thio's hard gaze softened.
"Ah, Ember," he trailed off. He let me slide down his body until my feet hit the ground, but kept me tucked into his side. "I didn't realize."
Zep had backed away. They exchanged a few words.
"I'm sorry, Ember," Zep said to me. "Come, will it be okay to play somewhere neutral?"
I didn't look at either one but nodded my head.
"Why don't we have a little party," suggested Zep. I didn't want a party. I had wanted to stay here. With Thio.
"Why not go by the club?" Thio countered. It was agreed upon, Zep going to fetch his human.
"I'm sorry," Thio repeated after Zep left. When I refused to make eye contact, he let out a sigh and held me tight for a brief moment before pulling away.
He snapped his fingers and I was no longer naked. I would have preferred naked to whatever the hell this was. It was black and shiny, though very little of it. Two lines ran down my body, starting at the collar at my throat, it covered my nipples before ending mid thigh. It had rows running across my body, across my breasts to keep them tight against my body, along my ribs, waist, hips and upper thighs. The strips had clips that held up fishnet stockings and my feet were clad in very high heels. Thio was clad in leather pants and boots.
I opened my mouth to protest but Thio's hand clamped down on my mouth.
"I upset you earlier. This place is like a sanctuary for you. I won't let what happened to day happen again. That is where I draw the line. You don't argue with me about what happens out there. I have a ball gag that would really complete the look, if you want to try your luck."
I wisely let it go. It seemed like a good compromise from him. He didn't have to compromise at all. This was all his show. From the start, I've had little say in what we do. Here or once we stepped out that door. I nodded to him and let him lead me to the door.
The sight of the club had me shrieking on the inside. It was a sex club. There was a main stage, one that was currently in use. A woman was up on an X being whipped. Her screams sounded of pleasure. I felt myself start to shake with nerves.
Thio's arm came over my shoulders and pulled me into his body. He led me into the room and we wondered through the place, looking for something. When I spotted Zep and Nora, we made a beeline for them. Also with them was Pele and Ben. The demons were wearing leather pants and boots. Ben wore some sort of harness looking vest, though I couldn't tell if he was wearing pants. Nora was in a very tight leather dress that was very revealing and short.
I was seated next to Nora and as soon as I sat down she hugged me tight. I could feel Ben's curious stare, but worked on just hugging Nora.
"Zep feels really bad. He didn't mean to shake you like he did," Nora whispered.
"Today was the first day that it wasn't just me and Thio," I confessed.
"Thio has kept you to himself a lot more than any previous human."
"Previous human?" Oh god, did he have more than just me? That actually made me want to cry.
"He's had a few, but they didn't work out for him. We've known he's had his eye on one for years. Decades maybe. Don't worry, sometimes it doesn't work out. It didn't work out for me and my first demon. Swapping is much more common until both human and demon find a pairing that works."
"Oh." I sat back, a little overwhelmed with the new information that Nora gave me. "Will Thio get rid of me then?"
"No, Ember, you're mine." Thio chimed in on the other side of me, making me jump.
"Sorry, Thio," Nora said meekly.
That was the end of that conversation. I sat and listened to the demons talk, letting the sound flow over me. Nora took my hand under the table and gave it a few squeezes before just holding it as I worked on adjusting. I couldn't remember if I had the same problem in my old life. Most of my memories were gone, but it seemed like I had a harder time adjusting to a lot of this new life.
"We are putting in our ticket now," Zep said, standing. Pele stood too, though their humans stayed seated.
"I will wait a bit longer," Thio said, pulling me into his lap. We sat and watched the stage. Various people came up and submitted pieces of paper down below while others took to the stage. I let my gaze wonder and realized there were other areas that were currently in use. The stage might be the main event, but there were many who were already enjoying use of the club.
There was no sex on the main floor, there seemed to be areas where it was acceptable and where it was not.
We sat there for a while, maybe fifteen minutes. Thio's arm rested over my shoulders and somewhere in that time I had relaxed into him without realizing it.
