Evelyn's arms and legs were suddenly freed. She sat up and ran to Casius, jumping up into his arms. He looked tired and drained, but was none the less pleased. "Has she/it gone?"
"Aye. The banishment ritual was followed to the letter. Even though a daughter of Lilith and therefore a powerful demon, Meridiana was not strong enough to break the power of the pentacle and its protection. She will bother us no more."
"What could have happened if it went wrong?
"We could all have been banished to the dark realm. To spend eternity at the mercy of such demons as she. Remember, she has been prowling this Earth for many centuries. So, as demons go, she was a very powerful one and could have destroyed us both quite easily, had she the inclination."
Evelyn looked into Casius' eyes and kissed him passionately. "Once again, my knight, I have much to thank you for. I did not realise at the time, just what this would cost, in terms of your...your er.. commitment?"
He smiled at her, "Yes, well the less said about that the better, I think. Now just in case you hadn't realised young lady. You are completely naked."
She smiled coyly at him. "I was wondering when you would notice. For I have looked at your eyes and they have not wavered from my face, not once have you tried to look upon my nakedness. I'm not sure that is very flattering!" She teased him. "I do however have one final favour to ask of you tonight." She looked deeply into his eyes and smiled a wanton smile. "I think that some of Diana's ways have rubbed off on me and I need your help to rid me of them."
"And how is that? He responded. "What must I do, for if it is within my power to grant, then I will of course do so."
"Why, I... need you to finish... to finish what she started!" With that, she slipped her hand inside his shirt, running it across his large pectoral muscle, before sliding her hand up to his neck and pulling him down for another kiss. Before his lips touched hers, she whispered, "take me to bed. Have your way with me. Treat me how you would a common whore if that is what pleases you. For heaven knows I owe you much."
Casius paused and setting her down said, "I want nothing out of gratitude. What you give, what we give each other, must be because we wish to give it, not because we feel we must, or that we are obligated to."
"Forgive me," she said, grasping both of his hands, putting them on each of her naked breasts; then putting her hands over them, she gently pulled him towards the bed. "You must remember, I am as new to this as a new-born. All I know is that I have an aching here," she released his left hand and put hers to her stomach. And I very much need you to make it blissfully disappear. Come my love, take me and abuse me. It is what I want. Not out of gratitude, or obligation, but out of love, lust for you and a deep need for you to take my virginity and show me how you feel about me."
Casius swept her into his arms and held her tightly to his body, feeling her warmth and nakedness against him. He gave her a long, lingering kiss upon the lips and placed another upon her forehead before releasing her. "There is nothing in this world, that I would rather do Evelyn. However, for reasons that I do not want to go into, I cannot do what you ask. I am sorry."
Evelyn looked deeply into his eyes, there was hurt there. There was love there too. "I know that you had to have sex with Diana to fulfil your plan. I came to your room needing a bit of reassurance, and heard the creature screaming in her pleasure. I would admit to thinking that you had betrayed me. That you had fallen into bed with this demon to spite me. But of course, I realised this was part of the trap that you had set, to lure Diana. And you had sensibly kept this information from me knowing that it would upset me."
"Yes, the succubus needs the seed of a male to then impregnate a female. Her plan for you was, I believe, to fill you with my seed; seed that has been perverted so that you give birth to demons in proliferation."
"I cannot spend the rest of the night here alone Casius. Please take me to your bed-chambers, if only that I can sleep in the warmth and comfort of your arms."
In response, he picked her naked form up once more and carried her to his bed. There she removed his shirt. Slowly undoing the buttons to reveal his powerful chest. She pushed the cloth from his heavily muscled shoulders, pulling the silken shirt down his arms and letting it fall to the floor. She then knelt down and unbuckled his boots, pulling them off one by one. Remaining in the kneeling position, she undid his britches and let them fall. Before her eyes, his huge cock hung limply. It was a sight that she realised she had been waiting for since meeting him on that first day. She stood, running her right hand up his leg as she did so.
Taking him by the hand she walked over to the bath, and testing that the water was still warm enough, said "Please sit in the bath and let me cleanse you." He did as he was bid without a word. Grabbing the cake of soap, she used her hands to run over his body washing away the sins of the succubus attack. Her hands and fingers thrilled at the touch of his heavily muscled chest. Evelyn knew she was still a little charged from the taunting that Diana had given her, so moved from Casius' chest to his legs and feet, kneeling at the foot of the bath.
Casius had his eyes closed. Not so much because of the enjoyment of what Evelyn was doing, though he must admit, that it had been a long time since he had been washed by someone and it was rather soothing. No, he kept his eyes closed so that he did not stare at Evelyn's naked form. He knew that if he did, his beast would stir and he did not want that to happen. As Evelyn's hands worked their way along his legs to his massive thighs, he stopped her approach to his manhood. "I can finish thank you. If you would like to find a night dress, there are some in that cupboard there. They belonged to my wife. I am not sure why I kept them really. But..." He left the offer there. And proceeded to wash himself.
Evelyn stood and dried her hands, her gaze locked upon Casius as he attended to his cleansing. "If my Lord is to retire to bed naked, then would it be wrong if I were to do the same?"
"Of course not Evelyn. I was merely thinking that you might get cold during the night."
"Sleeping beside a huge bed-warmer like you? I doubt that very much. Come, hurry, let us spend what remains of the night in each other's arms." She smiled and giggled at him, running towards the bed and jumping in. Suddenly all cares or awareness of her own nakedness forgotten. Casius towelled himself down and smiling too, walked to the bed and slipped in beside her. "I am sorry that I can offer you no more than comfort at this..." Evelyn put a finger to his lips and kissed his cheek. She then kissed his chest before laying her head upon it. Wrapping an arm about his barrel-sized chest and squashing her breasts to him; she contentedly fell asleep; it was not long before he slept also.
As the early morning light broke through a gap in the window shuttering, to fall across his face, Casius became aware of the gentle caresses around his pubic area. The bed clothes had been stripped back enough to reveal his manhood and Evelyn had slid down the bed, so that her head now rested on Casius' stomach, her face only a few inches from the sleeping giant. She ran her fingers in light circles through his pubic hair, every now and then the circle would circumvent his pubic area and her light touch would fall upon his balls. She looked in wonder at this most animal of the knight's accoutrements, taking a sharp intake of breath as her ministrations caused the inevitable awakening.
