Vee woke with a start several hours later. Without daylight, it was impossible to know how long she'd been out, but her exhausted body told her it hadn't been a healthy eight hours. No, something had woken her up.
There was an unusual sound coming from inside her bedroom.
Her first fear was that a reaper had broken through the wards. The sound she heard was soft and wet, just like the sound of ghostly flesh sliding off the bones of those hideous creatures. When she looked around, however, it was immediately obvious that the bedroom was empty, other than herself and Amara.
Her second thought, after confirming her own safety, was that she wasn't cuddled with Amara. Yesterday, she'd risen to discover that her unconscious self had spooned Amara for warmth, her arms wrapped tight around the demon in a desperate attempt to stave off the cold of Purgatory. Currently, Vee was safely on her side of the bed, though she still felt Amara's familiar warmth.
Vee grabbed her comforter, holding it tight as she turned to look at Amara, hoping she might have answers. Amara's lack of sex had likely prevented her from getting any real sleep, and she might have noticed something.
Amara was not only awake, but she seemed to be in pain, or perhaps horribly frustrated. Her breath was erratic, her eyes were closed, and she didn't seem to realize that Vee was awake.
Worried that Amara might be having a panic attack, Vee quickly sat up, pulling the blankets with her. She turned to face Amara directly and, in the process, accidentally moved the sheets even further. As they shifted, more of Amara came into view, and Vee saw exactly what was making the strange noise.
Amara's sports bra had been pushed up, and her incredibly full breasts were completely exposed. She was holding one of them, squeezing it tight while her back arched in desperation. Her other hand had pushed into her shorts, and several fingers were furiously working in and out of her soaking wet pussy. The smell of her sex was potent, and the sound of her masturbation grew louder now that the blankets no longer muffled the noise.
Vee was stunned. Words she had prepared were now stuck in her throat, and her eyes wandered over the naked body of her friend. For days she'd been wondering what might happen if Amara went too long without sex, and now it was time to find out.
As the seconds passed, Vee's initial shock receded. She had trained to fight demons, not support them through withdrawal. Panicked thoughts rattled around in her head as she thought of how they might continue. She initially wondered if she could carry Amara to the portal to meet up with Nick and Tessa, but those thoughts were quickly suppressed in favor of something simpler, something more instinctual.
The nearly naked demon in front of her was breathtakingly gorgeous. Vee had seen most of Amara's body before; she'd been almost completely nude for the entirety of the fight at the ritual circle, but Vee had taken great care to avert her eyes once the carnage had passed. Now, without any threats, and their friendship on the mend, her curiosity got the better of her. Her eyes lingered on Amara's breasts, the arch of her back, the way her hips strained against her tiny shorts. The woman currently masturbating on the bed would never have passed as a supermodel, if only because the word seemed a woefully inadequate descriptor for the body currently on display.
Before Vee could stop to question herself, she wondered what Amara might look like completely naked. Without her shorts to constrain her, would the curves of her ass appear just as perfect as her firm breasts? Would her tail flick back and forth in excitement as she proudly displayed herself?
A twitch in her legs drew Vee's attention to her own excitement, her own sexuality. She remembered just how long it had been since she'd pleasured herself, and a heat began burning in her core.
The feeling was immediately disrupted, however, when Amara's eyes snapped open. Her nostrils flared as she took a deep breath, and her panicked masturbation stopped as she turned to look at Vee. The whites of her eyes had vanished, and powerfully vibrant amber irises stared at the angel, betraying a deep and powerful hunger.
"Delicious..."
Amara growled, her voice shaking. In a flash, she shifted to her knees and faced Vee.
"Give it to me!"
The speed of Amara's movements caught Vee off guard, and she fell backwards. The sudden shift in demeanor had snapped her from her daydream, and she watched nervously as Amara began crawling closer.
Not only were her eyes completely blacked out, but her skin was significantly darker. In fact, when Vee glimpsed the tail and wings behind Amara, she could no longer see a difference. Amara's entire body was now one, consistent shade of demonic red. Her tail danced erratically as she moved closer, pushing Vee into a corner.
"Amara, wait, let's talk about this," Vee said, holding up a hand to try and stop Amara's advance.
Instead, Amara grabbed Vee's hand and pulled it against one of her exposed breasts.
"No more talking! I know what you want. I can smell it. You want to fuck me, Vee. Why fight it?"
Amara leapt forward, pulling Vee close as she attempted to kiss her. Vee turned her head, scared to start another fight, and instead Amara's mouth found her neck. Vee felt Amara's tongue on her skin, then her teeth, and she knew this was wrong. Whatever was happening between the two of them, this wasn't the next step. Amara's actions were panicked and desperate, and she wasn't in her right mind.
"Get off of me!" Vee shouted. She pushed a hand against Amara's shoulder, then summoned a burst of radiant light. Amara hissed with pain, and Vee took advantage of the moment to leap off the bed.
"Stop fighting me! I can show you pleasure beyond your wildest dreams!"
Amara's tail slapped the wall in frustration, then she turned to face Vee again. Amara slowly crawled off the bed until she was standing, and her breath was so hoarse it sounded like she was growling. The girls locked eyes, and Vee knew she had to think of something fast.
As she took a step back, her foot brushed up against her closet. It was a small walk-in, but it was big enough to hold a person. Without taking her eyes off Amara, she reached behind herself and opened the door.
The action caused Amara to leap forward in a panic, a horrid growl escaping her throat as she ran across the bedroom. Vee had expected this, and with another burst of light, she bought herself a moment to act. She grabbed Amara's arm, using her weight against her, and pushed her inside the closet. She closed the door behind Amara, then pushed her own shoulder against the closet to keep her inside..
The door shook as Amara threw herself against it. She was openly growling now, pushing against the door with everything she had, but Vee knew she was too weak to escape.
After nearly a minute of struggle, Vee heard Amara slump to the ground inside the closet. Her breathing was even more ragged, and when she spoke, her words were pained and weak. "Vee, please... I'm so hungry..."
