Bliss' dreams were formless and empty, until she heard her mother calling her name. No, that wasn't right. Penitent was saying her name, but not to her. It still wasn't right. Penitent was THINKING Bliss' name. And she wasn't dreaming it. Bliss didn't know it yet, but Penitent's use of her innate telepathy had awoken the ability in her. Except stronger. When Penitent thought of her, she heard it, even when her mother didn't intend to transmit her thoughts.
She saw images of herself, being raped by a massive, ebon-skinned male figure, and felt her mother's mingled fear and erotic titillation at the prospect. Her mother had told her of the Dark Seducer, the Master of Pleasure and Pain, though she said that she couldn't speak his name safely. Demon princes were nearly god-like in their power, and combined a deity's wisdom with an animal's cunning. He would hear her thoughts or words if his name was invoked, and Penitent, as a succubus, would be immediately summoned to him and her mind stripped of all her hidden knowledge.
All of this was conveyed to Bliss in an instant. It chilled her that she could glean such knowledge so quickly, and that the Black Prince would be able to do it with the alacrity of millennia of experience. Another conduit of power had opened within her, this mental ability that would make her all the more formidable, yet it brought fear instead of confidence. She had had no experience with the art of telepathy before that day, and she had already learned so much, and the greatest threats to her existence had this same ability, except on a level that dwarfed hers. In fact, every being except Penitent would probably raise a hand against her, unless they had designs on her body. In a matter of minutes, Bliss had grown up by a significant amount, and it was not a good experience.
With concentration, Bliss found she could pinpoint Penitent's location, then saw through her eyes, and then began to share the vision that Mischief was imparting to her. Through this link, she found herself in Mischief's mind, sharing the images even more closely than Penitent.
Penitent felt a slight tickling in her mind as Bliss began to purposefully rummage through her thoughts, but it was hardly noticeable and soon ignored in favor of the more erotic fare that her sister succubus was supplying.
Bliss was disoriented for a second as she found herself in Mischief's body, and Wychar's study. Her lips, or rather Mischief's, seemed to form words of their own volition, then she quit fighting the memory and watched it unfold.
"It is as you feared, master. Your brother immediately embraced me in your wife's guise."
Wychar's blindfolded face twitched once more, this time in anger. His mouth bit around words, angry words, possibly those of magical power, but he did not give voice to any of them.
"I took some of his life-essence, master. He is helpless at this moment."
Wychar finally found his voice.
"You lie!"
"No, master, open your eyes. You bound me to your wife's form, and I cannot lie to you."
Wychar forgot the reasoning behind the blindfold and swept it from his face. He looked at the luscious succubus in all of her Infernal glory. Perfect breasts, skin somewhere between pearl and pink, rounded hips and flat belly, all surrounded by the accoutrements of Hell. Her horns, and small fangs, her hooves and wings and tail, somehow they couldn't take away from the appeal of that perfect body. Coral-colored nipples that would later tempt Penitent seemed to beg to be kissed and suckled. Wychar was literally starting to drool, barely catching himself at it.
"Master, you must be careful if you want to rut with me. It isn't safe."
The warning was delivered with a tone and expression that sent an opposite message. Her eyes, formerly glowing green, faded to normal greenish-hazel. Her blood-red lips pursed to hide her small, neat fangs, and she curled her bat-like wings behind her. There seemed to be only promise of endless pleasure in her, no menace at all.
"How can I safely bed you?" the wizard asked, his tongue seeming to work around a mouthful of cotton.
"You have only to order me not to steal your soul, master."
"Then I'll be safe?"
"As long as the order stands..."
Mischief's answer was full of her namesake, and finished by a dazzlingly sweet smile.
"Then I command it, succubus. Pleasure me, but do not steal my soul."
