Demonic Submission Ch. 10

Hello again all.

So turns out that for whatever reason italicized text isn't showing up all the time in my posts online, even though they are in the word document. So, seems I'll have to change up my style when it comes to internal thoughts or what have you.

You'll notice some sections of speech in brackets; this is intentional and should denote words communicated via demonic marks, or as parts of internal monologues, and so on and so forth.

This chapter ended up quite a bit longer then I was intending but such is the way of things. Hope you all enjoy it.

Lavanna escorted Lord Durial and his group to their car as Tristan carried Rena once again, being careful not to rock her too much as he went down the stairs. She sighed inwardly knowing that Lord Durial was likely very unhappy with her right now... the fact that this occurred on her property, with someone she regularly employed was... damning to say the least. Once Lord Durial stowed the still unconscious Rena into the back seat he turned back to Lavanna. Thankfully his features were focused but not angry at the moment...

"You are going to attend the next court Lady Lavanna." Ordered verses asked. Lavanna had to suppress the chill that ran through her...

"Of course Lord Durial. I wouldn't miss it, especially after what happened this evening. I... I wish to apologize... I thought Odeon would question your mortal but... I didn't think he would engage in a full brawl with Rena... Please allow me to make this up to you somehow..." Lavanna tried to keep her voice even, but at the moment she felt like a child who knew a scolding was coming. She hated this... She was a noble, elevated to her status by Lord Durial, but still a noble. She once thought that such nervousness would pass with greater status... but if anything it had only grown, though usually only with him.

"There is no need. This has afforded me the opportunity to show my foes within the court that I don't take attacks on my person or company lightly. Just be present at the court, and follow my instructions once the Clash is complete." His voice was calm and relaxed as he moved to the far side of the car to sit beside Rena and care for her.

"M-my Lord..." Lavanna croaked out. "Do you... plan on punishing me after the Clash?" She knew it was a definite possibility... most demonic lords would. Hell most would have her flensed and barbequed for this failing...

"No. Of course not, if anything I plan on making you more powerful." And with that Lord Durial got into the car and closed the door behind him. Lavanna just stood confused... unsure how he would do such a thing... also confused as to why he was not outraged at her... worry gnawed at her mind...

As Claude began to drive Celestine looked back from the front seat and saw that Tristan had Rena's head in his lap as she laid in the backseat. She was still sleeping, but Celestine could tell Rena was in bad shape. She looked... frail somehow. Like a strong wind could scatter her. She was also covered in gore and dirt, much of the blood was likely her own. Even healing as she was Celestine didn't miss the gaping wounds in her body... Celestine held tightly to Rena's clothes... something she had picked up on her way out.

"You are sure she's going to be alright?" She asked Tristan directly.

Tristan looked up to her slowly and nodded lightly. "I believe so. Odeon wasn't able to break her will... Crack it... but not break it. With some rest, and a lot of somethings to eat she'll be okay."

Celestine worried and continued to speak. "What do you think would help her most? I mean... I'm not a great cook but I can do some simpler things..."

Claude glanced to her and Tristan shook his head lightly. "It isn't mortal food she needs Celestine..."

Celestine cocked her head gently before it hit her like a brick. "... She... she needs to feed on someone's soul..."

"Specifically a wrathful soul..." Tristan added. "She'll need it to kick start her own metabolism again. I've never seen anything like that though... for her to burn through everything she had so quickly... Have you heard about anything like this Claude?"

The butler shook his head. "No my lord I haven't. Though I must admit it's a small miracle she's alive at all. That burst was all her power at once, how her body simply didn't detonate is beyond me."

Tristan nodded. "Agreed. I've seen her at the brink of madness when she gets going... but never before have I seen that. Regardless... we need to get home. Once we do, I'll use one of the soul shards I keep in reserve... It should get her going enough to be able to hunt on her own again after a proper rest and bath."

Celestine listened to their discussion and looked down to Rena again... When she saw her hanging limply in Tristan's arms back at the mansion, she nearly lost it... She couldn't just... watch someone she cared about die in front of her like that... not again...

Rena stirred groggily when She felt herself be laid out on a soft warm bed... she cracked her eyes open and immediately regretted doing so... It was too bright wherever she was. Still she focused on waking up some and glanced about... Claude was there, so was Celestine. Rena smiled lightly... happy to see that Celestine was okay. She heard muffled voices... Claude and Celestine were talking but she couldn't make out any of the words. Celestine seemed to notice that Rena was awake however and rushed over before she began speaking to her. Celestine sounded relieved... but Rena couldn't make out the words... She looked about for her master but was disappointed to see he wasn't there... However she was elated when she heard his voice in her mind... communicating with her through his mark on her.

("I'm glad you are awake. Seems you are doing even better then I expected.") He said sounding pleased.

"Master..." She mumbled out... Celestine and Claude both looked to her confused and she heard them vaguely as they seemed to be speaking to her again.

Durial chuckled in Rena's mind and continued to speak. ("Use the link Rena... I can't hear you if you don't focus on it. And I do believe you are confusing the others.")

("Oh... right. Sorry...") Rena responded using the demonic mark ("I... I am sorry master... I should have been able to beat him.")

Even via the link, Tristan could hear Rena's lethargy. ("Hush Rena. You did very well all things considered. From what I could tell you nearly had him once or twice. If his regeneration powers were anything less then what they were he wouldn't have survived.") Tristan explained honestly. She had done very well after all. Rena was used to dealing with more direct demons... But Odeon was an oddball even amongst their kind.

("... It doesn't matter... I should have been able to beat him... I hate him!") Tristan could feel Rena's ire beginning to boil up but it sputtered out and Rena fell back weakly. ("I'm... so tired... need to eat...Master... I know I shouldn't ask but-")

("I'm already bringing you something Rena... no need to worry.") Tristan explained to ease her mind.

Rena opened her eyes again and saw Tristan coming into the room, carrying something that glowed red and bright to her eyes. Immediately her heart began to race and she could feel her own hunger surge up and her body prepared to strike. However she never got the chance when Tristan simply offered it to her... Rena paused only for a moment and realized it was a soul shard... and a very large one at that... She wanted to ask if this was okay... It was very valuable after all. But instinct took over and Rena snatched it from his hands and began to gorge herself as she bit into the soft crystal. In an instant she was draining the container of its contents, and could feel the life begin to flow back into her.

Celestine watched Rena feed on the crystal Claude and Tristan had called a soul shard... Inside that stone was someone's soul... She knew she should be horrified by what she was seeing, but... any disgust she felt was being eclipsed by her relief at seeing Rena moving. Every moment the color was returning to Rena's features and her wounds began to heal faster...

It didn't take long for Rena to drain the vessel dry, and it turned to glittery dust in her hands... Rena looked to Tristan and spoke... "Master... I... I want more." Celestine could hear the apologetic tone in her voice...

"I know Rena... but we need to give your system time to reset itself. Even fed as you are, you are far from being full strength. You need time to digest this and rest. But before sleep, we should get you cleaned up." Tristan moved to pick up Rena and lifted her almost bridal style before turning to the others. "Claude, please see Celestine back to her chambers." He looked to Celestine. "You should rest as well. It has been an... exciting day don't you think?" Tristan asked with a slight grin.

Celestine couldn't help but blush... Exciting was putting it mildly... She had pissed off a sloth demon, bit her own hand in an attempt to resist Tristan, got to meet several of her childhood heroes, who were apparently on the take from Tristan, get herself marked, watched a demonic gangbang at Lavanna's and nearly got herself killed by Odeon... Yes, A full day... "Fine... just... take care of her. G'night Rena... I'll hopefully see you in the morning." Celestine gave Rena a wave before following Claude out of the room.

It was then that Rena realized she was inside Tristan's own bathroom. Looking about she saw the large stone bath, big enough for him plus five or six others... She also saw the massage table that she was laying on just moments ago, the shower. Ect... All told it was a large and well furnished bathroom, but Rena also noticed it probably wasn't as large as Celestine's... Regardless of everything else however... what she noticed most of all was how warm her master was against her as he held her up to his chest. She looked down to herself and realized she was utterly filthy... dried blood and broken stone were caked to her naked skin...

Tristan brought her to the showers first and turned it on while holding her. "Can you stand right now?" Tristan asked her gently and Rena nodded before he set her down, and helped her into the shower. Immediately the warm water began washing away the grime of her battle and Rena watched as it all began to swirl the drain, like bloody rain. However she also noticed that her master was stripping as well.

"Ma-Master?" Rena asked weakly, feeling dizzy just at the sight of him naked. Normally she would have been ecstatic to see him in the nude... but at the moment all she could think about was how weak she was... She knew that she wouldn't be able to keep up with him if he wanted to fuck her brains out...

"It's okay Rena... I'm just going to help you bathe. You are still a little shaky on your feet so let me help you okay?" Tristan's words seemed to wrap around her and she felt safe... secure here with him. Nodding lightly he stepped into the large shower with a bath sponge and started using it and soap to clean away much of the gore and grime.

Rena did her best not to be affected by his touch but try as she might; it was her master touching her... She couldn't help but get flustered, especially when he cleaned her breasts and between her legs. It did not take long before Tristan turned off the shower and began to lead Rena towards the main bath, which always seemed to be full of hot water and helped her get in. Already hot and bothered by her masters nakedness, Rena did her best not to look at his cock... if she did she wouldn't be able to help herself, and weak as she was, she didn't want to disappoint him by having to stop half way through...

Once in the water Rena almost melted at the relaxing warmth of it... She felt a lot better now that she was clean and dipped in the water up to her neck as she sat on the underwater benches. Tristan got into the bath along side her and she tried to not blush again... However when she felt him lift her up and sit her on his lap she began to thrash lightly in frustration. "Master! You... I... You aren't making this easy you know..." She eventually managed trying to ignore the feel of his manhood nestled between the crack of her ass... He didn't reply but instead only pulled her back so that she lay against his chest... Even sitting in his lap the water came up to her breasts though her nipples were just at the surface. Tristan chuckled lightly at her words and kissed her gently at the base of her neck.

"I know... forgive me... I'm being selfish. I nearly lost you today after all. I won't try any funny stuff... unless you want me too of course." He added playfully.

"Mummnn." Rena grumbled out. "Master you're mean... Of course I want it... I always want it from you... I mean... I can feel the lust coming off you through the mark... You want to fuck me right now... don't you?" She wanted it... that much was clear just from her tone of voice... but there was something else too...

Tristan sighed lightly and gently hugged her, just below her breasts. "Yes... it's because I nearly lost you today, which forced me to think what I would do if I had lost you. Fact of the matter is I don't have an answer for that question... But I know your tired Rena... I know that desire doesn't often listen to the body's needs and limits... Hell, it is because of that, that I exist at all. But you don't need to worry... I won't try anything unless you start it." Tristan assured her gently.

Rena listened and once he was finished she nodded lightly and simply leaned back to relax. It didn't take long for the warm water to ease her tense body and while she didn't drift off into sleep, she did fall into a half waking state. As the minuets passed she felt her wounds close up and the pinching pain of them disappear. She was still relatively weak... she knew that, but at least now she would be able to move about without any major concerns.

As her body finished healing itself Rena slowly awoke fully and glanced back at her master, who seemed to be napping himself. Smiling lightly to herself, happy that she had such a lord to serve. Rena couldn't help but nuzzle at his neck and give a satisfied purr. She loved him... despite the fact that she hardly knew what that word meant she still was sure she did love him. However her actions elicited a response. From under her she could feel Tristan's cock begin to stir and harden beneath her, making her give a slight yelp.

"And here I thought you were too tired for anything like this." Tristan whispered into her ear and she blushed hard all over. "Oh my... are you embarrassed? So unlike you Rena..." She turned away from him as to hide her shame but a shudder went down her body as he nipped at Rena's ear. She could still feel him hardening under her, his growing member grinding up between her legs and grazing her pussy. "Do you want this? Or were you just cuddling?" Her Master asked lowly.

Rena only gave the slightest nod before she felt his hands on her hips as he began to maneuver her to allow access, but as he pushed, flashes of what happened earlier in the evening ran through Rena's mind and she whimpered and jerked in fear. Tristan immediately stopped and instead simply hugged her for a long moment. Rena felt ashamed... she knew it wasn't Odeon... She knew it. But it felt like it... "I'm sorry master! I am! I just... it just... with him and-"

"Hush." Tristan's voice suddenly soothed her as he continued to hold onto her. "There is no need for apologies... I should have been more aware. Instead, let me try something else... Turn around so you are facing me..."

Rena nodded and turned around in his lap, so that she was facing him entirely. However it meant that her legs were split open and left her quite exposed. She looked up to Tristan's eyes and smiled sheepishly as he looked over her body... She was about to speak when she felt his fingers gently dance along her pussy, inciting a low moan from her. The touch was only for a few moments and when he stopped Rena looked up to Tristan slightly confused.

"I'll pleasure you this way... and using your breasts Rena. I will do all the work and you can just sit and relax. Okay?" Tristan asked happily.

"But... master... what about you? How will get you off? I can't just leave you unsatisfied..." Rena asked desperately. She didn't want to be the only one getting off... she felt selfish for even thinking about it. She was going to suggest something but was quickly silenced when she felt several of his fingers dive into her pussy and begin to rock in and out of her. "Oh... Ohhh! Master!" Her back arched as he continued to play with her, forcing her breasts to rise out of the water slightly. Enough so that Tristan lowered his lips down to the hardening nubs and began to kiss all around the sensitive flesh, circling closer and closer to her erect nipples.

Rena's mind spun... part of her desperately wanted to pleasure her master back... but his actions were simply too good to tell him to stop or even try to interrupt. Even if she could get out a coherent word, she wasn't sure if he would listen... In fact she was quiet certain he wouldn't. She pawed weakly at him but it only seemed to drive him more. However, unlike most of their trysts, this wasn't a fast and hard fucking... This was Tristan gently playing with her and stimulating the right spots at the right time to make Rena swirl with pleasure... Deep inside, Rena began to let go of her fears that Odeon had damaged her too greatly for her master to want... Despite knowing Lord Durial was relatively kind for a demonic lord, Rena feared that after being defiled by Odeon, her master wouldn't want her any more... Though this clearly proved otherwise...

As she purred and mewled Tristan continued his gentle assault... his fingers were deep within her pussy, thrusting in slowly over and over, each time grinding against Rena's g-spot, sending slow jolts of pleasure shooting through her body. When his lips reached her nipple he kissed the tip gently before he began to flick his tongue over the sensitive nub over and over before alternating to sucking it lightly and then back again. His free hand played with her other nipple, gently squeezing and rolling it between his fingers.

Rena did her best to focus enough to speak, though every movement of his hands made it more and more difficult. Despite herself, she began to rock her hips into his diving fingers and she writhed in pleasure. Just as she got the breath to speak it was turned into a long high moan as Tristan began to toy with her clit using his thumb... He had destroyed her ability to speak with one touch and it was all she could do not to scream... he pulled away from her breasts and looked to meet her eyes as he spoke, with a cool calmness that made Rena gush all the more.

"Don't object... I want to do this for you after all. Proof that nothing anyone could do would ever make me want to toss you away Rena." He accented his words as he ground against Rena's clit and g-spot at the same time, sending her bucking as she sat in his lap. Her body arched against her will and a high pitched cry came from her before she gave one last gasping shudder and fell limp against him, panting hard.

"But... but after what he did..." Rena began but paused when Tristan shook his head gently.

"What he did only means that he guaranteed his fate Rena... I'll beat him... in front of the whole court I'll crush him and ruin him for all to see in the Clash. I'll make him beg for death... I promise." Tristan's words came out firm and assuring, and Rena smiled as she hugged herself to Tristan again, weariness taking her once again.

Tristan smiled as Rena fell asleep in his arms, and lifted them both out of the water. He dried her off and laid her out on the massage table before drying himself. He looked her over once again, making sure her injuries were healed. However once done he gave a sigh and then placed his hand over her abdomen. "Please let me be wrong..." He muttered to himself. He stretched out his senses and looked past Rena's soul to try and sense what may be within her... But it seems his initial findings were not incorrect... It was all Tristan could do not to roar out in rage... as he felt the new life stirring within Rena's womb...
