Chapter 20
"Samara! Food!" Zoe shouted.
I glanced at the pot, smoke curling from its surface.
"Shit!" Samara yelped, snatching it off the counter and stirring frantically.
"Thanks. It didn't burn," she said, pulling out three bowls and dividing the food into them. She placed them in front of me and Zoe. It looked like a stew and I noticed some meat and vegetables in it. Samara gave a piece of bread to me and Zoe and sat opposite us.
"Enjoy," she said.
"Thanks," I said.
As I was reaching for a spoon, Zoe pulled on my shirt, stopping me. She was staring at me with her pink eyes, and slightly parted lips.
She glanced at my lap, and I realized what she wanted. Chuckling, I leaned back in the chair. Zoe smiled, quickly straddling my lap, sitting sideways. Grabbing her hips I pulled her slim form closer, her arm pressed against my chest, as her firm ass rested on my thighs.
She was seeking physical contact all the time, but I had always liked that, enjoying the closeness.
Zoe grabbed my spoon, and brought it to my lips.
But when I noticed that Samara was watching us, I pulled back not taking the food.
"Hope we're not making things awkward," I said.
Samara frowned, but shook her head, focusing on her food.
I opened my lips and took food from Zoe, the stew tasted heavenly. I was probably overestimating it, as I was starving and my last meals were unseasoned meat, but it really tasted amazing.
"It's fantastic," I commented.
Smiling, I scooped food and fed it to Zoe. She chewed it cutely, and I could see that she liked it too.
"Delicious!" Zoe squealed excitedly, and we both looked at the author of the dish. Samara stared at us with her spoon halfway to her mouth, which hung open.
I chuckled. "Don't be so surprised, it's fantastic."
"No. I mean, thank you. It's just..." Samara stopped, looking between me and Zoe. "I didn't expect that you would feed her too. I thought you were commanding her to feed you."
"Master takes care of me," Zoe said, sounding proud of it. I squeezed her thigh gently.
Samara hesitated briefly. "I'm not a big fan of slavery. People abuse their slaves just because of their position. Of course, there are exceptions, and some slaves are treated well, but most of them have terrible lives. Actually, asking you for help earlier was some sort of test. If you ordered Zoe to help and did nothing yourself, I would not have invited you. But... now, seeing both of you like that. You don't look like a master and a slave. You seem more like lovers."
"I love my Master," Zoe said happily.
Samara nodded, biting her lip before speaking. "I know I shouldn't ask, and I was trying not to be nosy, but I have to. Sorry." She hesitated, then continued, "How is it that you can't afford a tavern, and you walk in clothes like that, yet you have a magically bound slave? And not just any slave, but... her." She gestured toward Zoe.
Zoe grinned, raising her chin and pushing her chest out.
"I didn't buy her, she became my slave of her own will."
"I wanted to be Master's slave," Zoe said.
Adoration in her eyes was clear as she stared at me, stirring lust and passion in me, my cock hardening below her ass.
"Really?" Samara asked, sounding surprised.
We both looked at her, but I could still see that Zoe got flustered. It was hard to explain her reasons without revealing her demonic nature. However, if we were going to end up in bed with Samara, she should know anyway. And with the money that Zoe had stolen, we had other options too.
"It's a complicated and sensitive subject, but Zoe is... a demon."
"That's quite obvious," Samara replied, smiling.
"Yeah, and because of her demonic nature, her situation was really hard," I said.
"But thanks to Master, it's now better," Zoe added, hugging me.
Samara glanced at Zoe but resumed eating. We followed after and fed each other in a moment of silence.
Only when we all finished, Samara spoke again. "If you don't want to tell me, it's okay, but... What demon are you?" she asked, looking at Zoe.
My cute demon looked at me, leaving the decision in my hands. I nodded, Samara would know soon anyway, and I was curious what her reaction would be.
"I'm a... succubus," Zoe whispered, staring at the woman in front of us.
Samara gasped, surprised. Her eyes moved to the top of Zoe's head.
Zoe's shoulders slumped, and her head fell when she noticed where Sam was staring.
"Zoe was born special," I said quickly, not letting her dwell too long on those feelings. "She doesn't have all the typical body parts of a succubus, but that doesn't change the fact that she's exceptional and special to me."
Then I grabbed Zoe's chin, and pulled her into a brief kiss which resulted in her smiling softly.
"Is that even safe?" she asked.
"Oh, yes. As I said, Zoe is special, and she's not a danger to me or anyone else."
Samara nodded slowly, still watching us carefully.
"The food was really amazing," I said, trying to change the topic from Zoe's nature.
"Umm... thank you," Sam replied.
"Is there a chance we can wash here? We traveled through the forest, and we really need it."
"Sure," Samara said, getting up and grabbing our bowls. "I will be back in a moment."
"Thanks," I replied, smiling. She returned my smile before leaving the room.
Brushing hair from Zoe's forehead, I brought my lips there and kissed her gently. "Is everything fine?"
Zoe pressed her cheek against my chest and rubbed it with a soft smile. "Yes, Master," she whispered.
We sat like that in silence, waiting for Samara to return. She seemed nice and was quite attractive, but I really admired her for her business skills. I didn't know any details, but if it was true that she came to the city alone, started a business without previous experience, and managed to succeed, that was impressive. She seemed to be around thirty, so either she started really young or achieved everything quickly--either of which was impressive.
Samara returned to the room. "The bath is ready."
"Can two people fit in there?" I asked, looking back at Sam. Her cheeks blushed, and I grinned upon seeing it. Did she think I wanted to go with her? Or did she suspect what we would do with Zoe there together?
"Y-Yeah," she answered, flushed.
"Good. I need to take care of my cute little demon," I said.
Zoe grinned, hugging me, but I was observing Sam's reaction. Her eyes lingered on Zoe just a moment too long, before she shifted, looking away.
I patted Zoe's ass, making her moan softly. I doubted it was from pleasure, so it was clearly to make a show and tease. Which clearly worked, as Samara's cheeks reddened and she bit her lower lip, staring at us.
Zoe abruptly jumped out of my lap, and we both stepped closer to Samara.
I stopped really close to her, just inches between us. She needed to lift her chin slightly to look me in the eyes. I leaned slightly forward, bringing our faces closer. She licked her lips, but I stopped, staring into her eyes.
"Would you lead us to the bathroom?" I asked.
"Ahh... yes," she said, quickly turning around and heading into the corridor deeper into her apartment. Sam stopped by a door on the right and indicated that we should enter. Even in the dimmer light there, I could see that she was blushing.
We entered the bathroom with Zoe, but I stopped at the door. In the room, there was a bath in the middle and two cabinets against the walls. The bath was full, and steam was rising from the water. Next to it on the ground were two towels and a small container. Zoe stepped next to the bath and started undressing herself immediately.
I turned around in the doorway. "Thank you," I said to Samara, then quickly grabbed her shoulders and pulled her toward me to kiss her briefly. I must have surprised her because she didn't return the kiss at first. When her lips started moving, I immediately stopped and backed off.
She stared at me with parted lips and breathed faster. "Thank you," I said once again and closed the door between us. There was no lock on it, but I doubted that Samara would peep on us, and even if she did, I was not going to complain about that.
