In Which an Elven Servant Suffers a Succubus to Live in Her Home
Chapter 33
"Yeah, okay. Why not," Lucy responds, in the most casually compliant, yet somehow personally fitting manner possible.
At first I think she didn't understand Master's proposal, but no, she makes it quite clear that she understands what he he means to do. Lucy has a lot of character flaws. Like, a lot. But being stupid isn't actually one of them.
"I'm glad we're all on the same page, then," Master says, being a little too trusting that Lucy is actually going along with this, if I'm being honest.
"Wait, wait," I interject, "It's just 'yeah, okay'? That's it? No objections? No schemes?"
"It's not like I'd announce it if I did have a scheme, you know. But yeah," she shrugs, still apparently not finding any of this important to even get up off the couch, "What, did you expect me to do this the hard way? Sloth is one of my favorite sins. After lust, obviously. Gluttony's up there, too, but that's neither here nor there."
"You're... just going to turn your back on your people?" that sounded too much like I'm trying to talk her out of it. Which I'm legitimately not. Just suspicious of all this. Not that I coulld probably talk her into or out of anything she didn't want to do.
She snorts a laugh through her nose and starts giggling, "My people. That's adorable, Lorelei. You said that so sincerely," she sinks further back on the couch in laughter, "Like I'm fucking Polish or something. Literal demons from hell. I love that you think there's some sense of loyalty or ethnic pride going on."
"Okay, fair en-" I start, before she decides she isn't done.
"Surely I'll be despised as a traitor!" she laughs, "How can I ever betray my beloved homeland and countrymen like that?! Oh, to never return! What a cruel fate!"
"Are you done?" I say, flatly.
She sits up, wiping a tear from the corner of her eye, "I had more, but I can stop."
Master places a hand on my head and looks down at me, "Satisfied?"
I sigh and nod, "For now."
"Everyone will be over in a couple hours, we should have a light meal before we start. We all need our strength," Master says, before leaving us.
I turn to go to the kitchen, but Lucy stops me, "Besides, it's a little rich for you, of all people, to suggest that I'm disloyal to my people."
The only downside to elf ears, is that they easily give away my mood. In this case, they stand straight up.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I turn back, sharply.
"Oh, we're gonna be coy? Lorelei doesn't know what I'm talking about. What's the word? Homophile? Anthropophile?"
"Just because I have a few videos on my computer doesn't make me-" that one took a moment to catch up to me, "Oh. You're referring to humans."
"We're going to have to revist -that-," she snickers, "But yeah. When were you going to do your duty for you people? Marry a nice elf boy, start ensuring a future for the elven race? Swear off human cock for good?"
My jaw sets in, "Point. Made."
She does seem to back off of that nonsense, thankfully, "All this is just dancing around the real point. This means I'm finally going to get proper laid. Took him long enough. Before Lorelei, too, so bonus points."
I take a deep breath. There's no point in getting into this with her any further. Master's cock is getting wet, and that's what's important. I don't expect she'll really understand that sentiment.
"Just make sure you're ready, okay?" I tell her, and go to fix dinner.
I'm not out of the room before I hear footsteps after me, "Wait, what did he mean about 'everyone' coming over, exactly?"
By 'everyone', of course, Master meant all the people in the know about Lucy. Clara and Piper, Lydia and her girls. Lucy is not enthused to learn about the catgirls coming over, but not as perturbed as I've come to expect. Maybe she's building up a tolerance.
Master apparently had kept tight wraps on this, since none of them know initially what they're here for. No, that isn't completely true. Yuki and Yuri had an inkling, which means that Lydia did, which means Clara did. No one seems to have a clear picture, though. Seems a bit silly, once Lucy completely folded to the idea, but I guess opening portals to hell is the kind of thing that one plays close to the chest. Loose lips sink entire civilizations into depravity, ruin, and eventual overrun by rapey muderfiends, so they say.
Unsurprisingly, Clara is not on board when she first hears the plan. It took little convincing for me, but in fairness, elves are not really built for saying 'no' to humans. Clara has no such biological predispositions, and so the argument stretches over an hour before he's able to assuage her fears enough that we can proceed tonight. I guess the whole 'corruption by hell' risk is eventually outweighed by the definitiveness of Master's penis being inside Lucy. She's still a bit iffy on the whole thing, but she seems to accept that she isn't changing his mind on this.
Meanwhile, Yuri gives me the constant googly eyes, while pretending she's doing nothing of the sort, and Lucy does everything in her power to make Piper as uncomfortable as possible. He doesn't stop entertaining her attention at any point, though. It's possible that he thinks he's got some chance with her, on some level, at some point. Which I guess is a big deal to a domestic elf boy, since he's not exactly fated to fuck anyone, ever. I won't say she doesn't have sexual interest in him, because she has sexual interest in everyone. Succubus and all. But I don't think Lucy has designs on any of the activities he might be thinking of.
Once we've eaten, and I've done my best to ensure Master has enough energy to be prepared for the coming trial, he wastes no time with us moving upstairs. At which point Lucy immediately disrobes in front of everyone, without him even asking her. She's very much an attention whore, in addition to being the regular kind. That's probably why she was wearing clothes to begin with, now that I think of it.
I hide a giggle at her frustration that Master is the only one who doesn't give her a second glance. Amazing as her body might be, it's sort of old news at this point, and Master is not easily manipulated by a little T&A.
"I will need you all to keep her in place as best as you can. She needs to stay within the circle as much as possible. Any part of her extending out causes disruption," he explains, "I'd use chains, but anchoring them in the circle would get in the way of the runes, and anchoring them outside would present its own problem with interference from connecting her directily to the outside of the circle. I won't go into the minutia of why it's a problem, but suffice to say, the chains aren't feasible."
"Do we have to stay entirely within the circle as well?" Clara asks, which is actually a good question, "If we're touching her, and touching the outside of the circle, doesn't that connect her?"
"Being your own living being nullifies the magicial conductivity, so that shouldn't be a problem," he says, "Again, kind of complicated reasons that you don't really need to worry yourselves with. But that does mean you'll all need to be nude. Clothes could interfere. Which reminds me..."
Master steps over, produces a key, and unlocks the chastity belt concealing Lucy's nethers. The look of intense relief on her face is as palpable as the schadenfreude I get when she immediately reaches to her crotch, only to be denied by the magic barriers still in place.
