The Star, The Demon, and The God - 25. A Surprise in the Bedroom

Tobias

We are laying in bed together watching the animals putting on a weird show for Luno.

At least that is what it looks like to me.

They get into a spot outside of the shack and they start spinning around in circles and going crazy. Obviously Luno adores it. He constantly oohs and aahs it.

A creature that has stepped up to ‘perform’ looks like some kind of ice monkey. It’s crystal clear tail twirls around shooting mini snowballs all over the place.

It is in the middle of it’s icy display that it hits me.

Luno is nestled up against me with his head on my shoulder, his hand over my chest, and his leg over mine. My arm is settled around him and keeping him close, idly running my fingers along his waist.

This...feels good. More than good even. It feels new but oh so right.

It pains me that I have to end it now.

How did this even happen?

I want to disentangle myself from Luno but I feel like it would be wrong. Mainly because I am clearly being selfish and enjoying this.

The last thing I need is to grow any more attached to the Star.

Maybe if Raiyo were still locked up in Havano, this could have been possible in another life.

Then again, Luno would have been different and closed off.

Right now however, Raiyo could take advantage of his authority over the Demons. He could take control of my mind and force me to kill Luno. Either that or to bring him to Enfierna once again.

Those are the last things I want to do.

In a way to put some space between us, I sit up and move away a few inches.

Luno frowns for a moment but turns his gaze back to the creatures. He laughs when a turtle with plants growing on its shell faceplants into some mud.

Alright, I am grateful for their distraction at least.

Honestly, Luno probably would not have said anything anyways. He is much too kind and innocent to push on such matters.

Still, I am glad for his attention being elsewhere.

I will say however, my mood has dropped significantly.

I am already missing the warmth of being close to him like before.

How ridiculous is that?

Something like me does not deserve to be with someone as special and nice as Luno. Honestly I doubt anyone ever would be.

Perhaps another annoying ass star? I doubt anyone else would be evil enough to snatch one from the sky again.

I frown at the thought of another holding Luno like I was.

Just the thought of that makes my chest heat up with jealousy. I want to slap myself for feeling such a thing. I don’t even belong to Luno! What right do I have to feel such a thing?

Kulu slithers his way to my ankles, wrapping himself around my leg.

At least Kulu likes me. Enfi did as well. I bet no other fucking Star can say the same thing about Luno’s friends!

I reach down and run my finger along the top of Kulu’s triangle head. His tongue falls out like a dog. I swear the serpent is even smiling like one.

Again, I bet no other person in all of the realms of Thymestrys are liked by Luno’s companions like me.

It honestly makes me feel a little smug with how much closer I am to the Star compared to everyone else. They are petty thoughts, thoughts that I should not be having; especially when I have to leave.

Watching Luno watch the creatures, my mind wonders what color the flowers on his head will change to when I break the news.

He has told me on multiple occasions that I should join him here when the souls had been brought back to the humans.

Well, the deed is done and he is free to live however he sees fit.

Since the King of Demons is free and knows that I betrayed him, it is not safe for me to stay here.

Now I feel awful.

Does he already think I am staying? We had literally cuddled up in bed as if I really was staying. Am I going to hurt him?

Perhaps I should not tell him. Maybe it would be best to go away when he is asleep or something. Anything to keep from seeing those flowers wilt in defeat. Not again.

When the time comes, I will leave through the cave that brought us into the Sanctuary.

“Tobi?” Luno’s voice calls, his hand touching my arm.

“Are you alright?” he frowns.

I nod. “Of course. Just a bit tired is all. Don’t worry about me.”

A small smile crosses his lips and I see his flowers turn a light shade of pink. He bites his lip and he looks like he has something to say. Only, he doesn’t seem to be able to think up the words.

“Would-” He pauses and bites his lip. “Would you like to...stay here? With me?”

Oh Gods why?

Why, oh why does the world have to be so cruel right now?

He has no idea how badly I would love to say yes right now, but I can’t! If I say yes, that is putting his life in further danger. I refuse to ruin his life any more.

Yes, I will take the blame for Enfi’s death. If it weren’t for me, Luno never would have left the Sanctuary and Enfi would be alive and well.

I cannot say the same for the Gatekeeper because I had no idea where she was or what had happened to her.

Luno almost died twice against Raiyo and if he had succeeded in killing him, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself. Being the reason Luno dies would be the end of me.

There is something else however.

It may have been a few hours, but Raiyo is far from stupid.

Why has he not taken control of me yet? I know when he is in my head. He does it every time I am in his presence.

The god isn’t even trying to look through my eyes right now!

Am I being tossed away by him? Surely he hasn’t forgotten about me. He spoke to me on the battlefield!

Maybe...maybe he is letting me go?

I guess I sound a bit full of myself, but I know I was one of Raiyo’s favorite subjects. He constantly said so, even in front of his circle of officers.

“Alright,” I say. “I’ll stay for now.”

Luno beams up at me and tackles me into a hug.

This is risky and possibly stupid, but now that I have thought it through, I think everything will be fine.

Maybe a few days will be enough for me to grow the courage to say goodbye.

Morgoren - The Moon God

“Oh Morgoren,” A voice sings. “Wake up sleepy head!”

I fight against them, too tired to awaken.

A hand trails down the hairs of my chest, fingers move lower and lower. Somehow the sheets must have been removed.

Am I dreaming or is this really happening? If it is a dream, I wouldn’t mind keeping this going. Their hands are feeling oh so good.

“Come on,” The woman’s voice calls before dropping into a whisper. “Wake up and play.”

My eyes slowly blink open. The fog of sleep makes it hard to determine who exactly is straddling me right now. Not to mention it is rather dark in my chambers at the moment.

The hand worms down and wraps around my semi-erect cock. The woman slowly strokes it, bringing my arousal up even more.

When I blink away the haziness, my face pales when I find Taisla sitting on top of me.

She looks down at my cock as it becomes flaccid. Her bottom lip juts out as she looks back up at me.

“Aw,” She pouts. “I suppose this is not a surprise. Shall we try something more fitting?”

I frown at her words, but then I understand when shadows surround Taisla’s body. They reform into a short person. One that I know all too well.

It is hard to forget what your creation looks like. Especially when you stare at its face for years; trying your hardest to perfect every curve, every angle, even the most perfect colors that bring me pleasure!

Lunarico.

The hand begins to stroke me again.

No amount of friction will bring my cock back up again. Not when I know who is truly behind this charade.

“What are you doing here, Raiyo,” I ask, my eyes narrowing.

Lunarico’s face gives a mischievous smile as his features begin to change. They are small changes as I did try my best to match the true perfect being.

It was a shame I couldn’t get Altiba to help me.

Raiyo straddles my lap.

Somehow, even with the moon’s light outside my balcony, Raiyo still manages to create a dark aura around him. The only source of light between us would be from the glowing orange tattoos along his body and the glow from the fire in his eyes.

“Not even your toy could please you?” He asks with a grin. “Isn’t that a shame.”

Claws lightly brushes along the sides of my cock. Even with the danger of them, simply knowing they belong to Raiyo brings arousal once again.

He snickers. “My! You truly are pathetic aren’t you? I bet you really wished those rumors about us were true.”

“Can you blame me?” I huff. “You were mine once upon a time.”

Raiyo smirks and leans forward, his faces inches from mine.

“Is this what you have always dreamed and hoped of?” He whispers before dragging his tongue against my cheek.

It literally burns into my skin. I hear and smell the burning of my own flesh and I hiss through the pain.

“Not exactly,” I say, staring up at him. “But I must say, this definitely feels like an improvement. I always liked that fire inside you.”

His eyes burn a bit brighter and the tattoos ripple with life.

“Really? Why do I feel like you wouldn’t be able to handle it?”

Now I laugh. “You think a few burns will stop me?”

“Yes...a few.” He licks his lips.

Honestly, I thought this new Yinx was a cursed image. Something as a disappointment for failing to take him back then.

Now I am thinking otherwise. This one is more fun.

“Why come now though,” I ask while narrowing my eyes. “Weren’t you imprisoned? Did you have a change of heart to finally join me?”

I gather the courage to allow my hands to wander.

My fingers brush along the glowing marks along his thighs.

His skin is awfully warm. Definitely more than any normal being. So much so, that I can’t touch the markings for too long.

Raiyo leans close to my ear, his teeth barely grazing me.

“Let’s just say that I know you have been a bad boy,” He whispers.

I chuckle at his words and run my hands up to the silk wrapped around his hips. I want to take it off of this lustful creature.

Something sharp presses into my cheek, stopping my actions. When I squint through the darkness, I realize that there a swirling line of crystalized smoke.

Raiyo lifts himself to look down at me again. Another pointed tip of smoke is pressed to my neck.

“You,” I gulp. “You came here to kill me?”

He leans forward on his elbows, resting them on my chest.

“That would be rather nice wouldn’t it?” He purrs. “You soul must be so vile and dark. With the things you have been planning, I could do the world a favor and end you now.”

I narrow my eyes. “But you won’t? No other specific reason to truly kill me?”

He raises an eyebrow in question. “I think I speak for everyone that you should die.”

Raiyo...doesn’t remember? He knows about my lust for him, but not his werewolf?

Well isn’t that interesting...

He smirks and the deadly lines vanish into thin air.

“Killing the Moon God after giving him quite the thrill?” He runs his claws down the middle of my neck. “That doesn’t sound very fun now does it?”

He perks his lips. “I like it when they truly think they have me. When they actually believe they are on top of the world.”

I stay silent at his words.

“Do you feel on top of the world, Morgoren?” He tilts his head. “Or do you think you will finally claw your way up there?”

Pushing him onto his back, I crawl on top of him and hitch one of his legs around me.

Through that whole motion, Raiyo does not even blink. His smile only grows.

“Maybe I do now,” I say, my voice husky. “I’ve got you now, don’t I? You going to kill me?”

He chuckles and slips away, his body turning into a swirling mass of smoke and embers. His dark form practically dances away, swirling around the room before his body reforms on the lounging chair.

He lays back in a suggestive pose, the wrap barely covering himself.

“Clearly not,” He says with a sly smile.

I sit up onto the backs of my heels, not at all caring that I am still in all my naked glory.

Obviously he became familiar with my cock. Let him stare at it. Maybe he will finally stop talking and put his mouth to better use.

His fangs make me think otherwise however.

I cross my arms. “You know, if anyone has been the naughty one, it’s you.”

He raises an eyebrow in amusement.

“Just when everything was falling into place,” I say. “All of a sudden, all the humans and their souls are separated. I could no longer allow my Angels to bring their souls to me, and my personal army could no longer exist. Next thing I know, you sent out the Star to seal the souls into the humans, keeping them safe from any Angel’s mark.”

He shrugs and drums his claws along the chair’s edges.

“Oops,” He chuckles. “Did I do that?”

“My brethren are keeping a closer eye on the humans and have even put their strength together to keep the Angels out of my control.” I tap my finger on my chin, “and now, when I have finally created a new form of minion, you come into my bed and decide to play with my cock."

I shake my head with a smirk. "You don't even gift me a kiss with all that teasing! What have you planned this time, Raiyo?”

In all honesty, I was hoping to catch him off guard; to make him cower at me figuring out that he has been trying to thwart my plans for the last few years.

The incubus only smiles and blinks his pretty eyelashes at me.

“Just as you said,” He lifts his hand.

A hand made of smoke materializes in front of me. It wraps around my shaft and begins to stroke me. It feels so warm and silky, my eyes end up rolling back in pleasure.

“I came to play with your cock,” I hear him stand.

“I came to watch you moan,” A step closer.

“I came to watch you shudder,” Another step.

A hand touches my stomach, the tips of claws lightly drag against me. It sends a shiver up my spine.

“I came to distract you enough to slip into your mind and gather your thoughts.”

At that, I look down at him. His hand grips onto my cock and I freeze.

He tilts his nose up at me. “You made this all so terribly easy! I would have expected more from the supposed ‘all powerful’ Moon God. You can imagine how disappointing this is. A shame Taisla put herself with the likes of you.”

He squeezes my cock, his claws pressing against the sensitive skin.

I howl in pain but do not dare move. With his hand gripping my manhood, the last thing I want is for him to cut or break it.

“Then again,” he continues talking as if he does not hear me. “The Gatekeeper was not much better herself. She made it so that I can’t even feel the warmth of your own prick in my hand. If there is a warmth, that is. For all I know, you could be as cold as a corpse.”

Trembling under his grip, I try and plead for him to let me go.

“Release me,” I huff out. “Release me and I will do you no harm.”

He laughs.

“You think that scares me?” He tilts his head with. “I think you know what to do.”

Does this fool expect me to beg? A god? How dare he!

When no response comes from me, Raiyo only squeezes harder.

Squeezing my eyes shut, I try my best to withstand him, but when one of his claws nick the underside of my head, I start panting out all kinds of pleas.

“Oh gods,” I cry out. “I beg you! Release me from your insufferable claws!”

He pulls me towards him.

“Surely you could do better than that.” He says with an evil smile showing off his fangs.

Closing my eyes, I bow my head. “Please...Master.”

Raiyo’s hold on me disappears and I let out a sigh a relief.

“Master, eh?” He chuckles. “Not what I was going for but I’ll take it from you.”

I frown down at him while tenderly massaging my cock. It is much too sore now.

He slips away into smoke and heads over to the balcony. He solidifies once more and sits on the fencing. Moonlight shines down behind him, casting a dark shadow. His eyes light up his face enough for me to see his smile however.

“A simple ‘yes please’ would have sufficed,” He says, laughing to himself.

I, the God of the Moon, just begged and called an Archdemon master...what is wrong with me?

“Aww don’t be too sad about it,” Raiyo’s voice snickers in my head.

“Get out,” I say, clenching my jaw. “Now, you loathsome demon!”

He tilts his head. “What’s wrong? You can’t use your mark to control me? That must be very unfortunate for you!”

With a wave of my hand, a spark of moonlight flies straight for Raiyo. He only puffs into a cloud of smoke, weaving around the attack before materializing right against me.

He leans his head against my chest and presses his ass against my still sore cock.

“I guess I should go home,” He purrs. “I’ve got things to torture.”

A burn grows up my stomach as Raiyo drags his claws as he slides past me.

“Mothers to gossip with.”

He brings his claws to his lips and licks the blood off them.

He floats in the air and turns to me.

“Ta!” He winks before turning into a swirling pool of darkness that gets smaller and smaller before disappearing into thin air.
