Jason was on his back, with his arms stretched out above his head. He lay on something hard and cold. Stone, it felt like. He was incredibly groggy, and his thoughts were few and felt sludgey in his head.
He tried to open his eyes, but his eyelids wouldn't move. In fact, he slowly became aware that he couldn't move at all. He willed his body to move, but nothing happened. Confusion and panic surged to the forefront of his thoughts.
"Poor thing," said a voice, and through his mental fog he knew it was the demon, Pearl. "Dimensional travel is so taxing for you humans."
Jason felt a hand grasp his jaw. The hand was feminine, and strong. With no resistance from Jason, Pearl forced his mouth open.
"This will make you feel
much
better," Pearl said.
Pearl put the edge of a bowl to Jason's lips and delicately trickled something into his mouth. A thick liquid, tasting a bit like rice milk, but with an inexplicable alcohol-like kick to it. She massaged his throat to make sure that he swallowed it down.
Jason knew that Pearl wouldn't act out of anything but selfishness, and her intentions toward him couldn't possibly be good. He tried not to swallow, but it wasn't like he could do much to stop her.
He drank, and in doing so, he found that he liked the taste of whatever the stuff was. He hated admitting it to himself, but it was true. He began to drink on his own, his throat muscles now working of their own accord.
He hungrily swallowed the liquid, craving more than the steady stream that Pearl poured into his mouth.
"Careful there, big boy," Pearl said, a smile in her voice. "No need to be greedy. A little goes a long way."
Jason nevertheless drank eagerly, forgetting that breathing is also a good idea. He finished the last few swallows and only then did he gasp loudly, belatedly refilling his lungs.
When at last he found his voice, the first word Jason uttered was a desperate plea: "More."
Pearl giggled mockingly before answering. "You've had plenty," she said, adding, "for now, at least."
The liquid warmed Jason's belly, and after a few seconds that warmth spread across the whole of his body. It made him feel good all over. He felt more awake, more aware, like his life had been jump-started.
But, considering the source, it also made him highly suspicious.
"What
was
that?" Jason said.
"Elixir," Pearl said. "It will help you recover." Jason heard a clatter as Pearl set aside the empty bowl. "It also has some...other properties," she said.
"Why can't I open my eyes?" Jason said. "Why can't I move?"
"Give it a few minutes to work, baby," Pearl said. Jason felt Pearl's palm stroking the skin of his bare chest. He was naked. How had he gotten naked?
"Fortunately for both of us," Pearl said, and then he felt her fingers begin to slowly trace downward, towards his groin, "I know a great way to pass the time."
Although he couldn't move any part of his body (except for his mouth, it seemed), Jason's senses were in overdrive. He felt Pearl's fingers brush through the tangle of his pubic hair to stroke his cock. His dick lengthened and expanded at the touch of her warm hand, throbbing to full erection almost instantly.
"Mmmm...Looks like we're on the same page," Pearl said. Her hand left his member for the briefest of moments as she repositioned herself, and he could feel her nestle her upper body between his parted thighs.
Pearl resumed her grip on his cock, stroking him and rubbing it all over her face while she did so.
"It's been so long," Pearl said. "I'd hoped you hadn't forgotten me."
He was about to say that it had only been a week, but Pearl interrupted him by planting tender kisses on along his cock, up and down the sensitive underside. She massaged his balls with a gentle urgency that made Jason catch his breath, rendering him speechless.
"But you didn't, did you?" Pearl said, continuing to stroke him. Her caress was warm and loving, although Jason couldn't help but wonder if she was talking to him, or his cock.
"You can't know how much this means to me, Jason," Pearl said. "I can't wait for you shoot a big load of your gooey, yummy male essence all over me again."
Yep, same old Pearl, Jason thought. He mustered up his courage to speak.
"Not this time," Jason said. "I beat you once. I can do it again."
"I would call our last encounter more of a draw, wouldn't you?" Pearl said, and Jason could hear the cruel mockery in her voice. "So how might I tip the scales in my favor this time, hmm? Oh, I know..."
Pearl took the head of his cock into her mouth, sucking him in, and continued stroking his shaft. For all his bravado, Jason couldn't deny that she was servicing him amazingly. Good god, she had come a long way since her first clumsy attempts at giving head. Jason could only grit his teeth, trying in vain to hide the effect she was having on him.
Pearl ceased slurping on his cock long enough to speak.
"Tough customer, huh?" Pearl said. "Do I need to sweeten the deal for you?"
With the pressure in his balls building, Jason declined to answer.
"How about this?" Pearl said. "You give me what I want, what I crave. In return, I give you another gold diabolus
and
a free trip back to Earth."
"Back to...?" Jason said. "Where in the hell are we?"
Pearl giggled. "Almost right," she said. "We're in Tarterus, baby.
