Home for Horny Monsters Ch. 063

"We're just setting up a prank for Mike," Lily explained.

At the word prank, the fire in Death's sockets blazed.

"Oh, I do enjoy a good prank! Please let me know if there's anything I may do to assist you!" He put his bony hands together and tapped his fingertips excitedly.

"Er, yeah, no problem." Beth took the tea and sipped it. "Thank you."

However, when no discussion about a prank was immediately forthcoming, Death excused himself, leaving Beth alone with Lily.

"So are you gonna ask?" Lily said after a few minutes of silence.

"About?" Beth had zoned out, her thoughts on the others. She now wondered if Lily had been talking.

"Your woman problems."

Beth felt heat flood her face and she tried to hide behind her teacup, but only succeeded in spilling some of it on herself.

"Don't try to deny it. You look like a woman who spent all day on horseback." Lily leaned back in her chair far enough to hump the air for emphasis. "Big difference between well fucked and fucked up."

"How could you tell?" Beth asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

"It's in the way you sit."

"I see." She really hoped that Lily was far more observant than the others. It was an embarrassing topic of conversation in the best of times and she didn't want the whole house knowing about her issue. She went to sip some of her tea, wondering how much to tell the succubus.

"If I had to wager a guess, it's that our resident size queen has finally stretched herself too thin."

The comment had been deliberately timed, and Beth spit her tea out and coughed.

Lily laughed, a satisfied look plastered on her face. "Ah, that was worth it. I'm right, though, aren't I? You're all fucked out."

Beth wiped the tea off her chin and frowned. "Lily. Keep your voice down," she muttered.

The succubus shrugged. "I mean, if you don't wanna talk about it and continue to be a party to sexual repression—"

"LILY." Beth mimed a lock and key over her mouth. "I'll talk, but shut the fuck up."

A literal tiny padlock appeared through Lily's lips, holding her lips together like a macabre piercing.

"Your theatrics aside, yes, I'm having some trouble downstairs." She detailed her gynecological issues with the succubus, not expecting her to be of any real help. It was at least nice to have someone to confide in.

Once Beth was finished, Lily pulled a key out from between her breasts and unlocked the padlock.

"Sounds rough," she said. "Can't say I have the same issue, for obvious reasons. I'm surprised you haven't talked about this with the nymph yet."

"Frankly, I didn't want to talk about it with anybody."

"Naia isn't just a water fountain with benefits. I bet she could give you all sorts of tips and tricks, but that's besides the point. She's also a natural healer. She was practically the only thing holding Romeo together for the first month or so."

"But how do you heal..." It suddenly occurred to her that it didn't matter, and she felt dumb for not thinking about it before. With Mike gone, she could use Naia's tub in private.

"Go ahead," Lily said, waving toward the door. "Don't sit on a sore cooch just to keep me company."

"Thanks." Beth was almost to the door when she noticed Kisa sitting in the corner.

Oh God. "How long have you been there?"

"Long enough to tell Lily that incorrigible means that she'll never improve her behavior." The grin on Kisa's face made Beth think of the Cheshire cat. "I'm supposed to stick by her side, remember?"

Lily laughed. "This little black cat is starting to grow on me."

Mortified, Beth ran up the stairs to Mike's bedroom. Once the door was closed, she walked into his bathroom. The tub inside was several feet across and could easily fit a few people.

"Naia?" she asked.

"Beth." The faucet turned on, and the tub filled a few inches. Naia's head emerged from the water, though emerged wasn't quite right. The nymph herself was made of water, so it created the illusion that the tub was magically five feet deeper. "Do you need something?"

After a brief explanation from Beth, Naia filled the tub up with steaming hot water. Beth took off her clothes and climbed into the bath, sighing as the warmth seeped into her skin.

"This already feels good," she said. "I've only got a shower in the bath I share with Yuki."

"You should ask Tink to put in a tub," Naia told her. "Though it wouldn't have the same perks or be as large as this one."

"Why not?" Beth ran her hands along the cool surface of the rim. "Wouldn't it just be some additional pipes?"

"A bit more than that. Here, lean back." Gentle hands appeared from beneath the water and pulled Beth against the side. Naia manifested beneath the surface, creating a nymph body pillow beneath her torso.

Beth closed her eyes as Naia gave her a scalp massage.

"The pipes that connect my bath to the spring aren't just regular pipes," Naia explained. "They are made from a special kind of material brought in for this exact purpose. Nymphs are bound to their springs, unable to leave their boundaries. Therefore, the pipes were made special from bits of my spring and other materials."

"Like some type of magical compound?" Beth asked. The fingers in her hair soothed her, and her whole body was tingling. In fact, she could feel the aches and pains in her pelvis leaving her.

"Not a bad way to think of it. Powerful fae magic plus some metal I've never heard of, and then some minerals from as far down as my essence goes." An extra set of hands now worked the kinks in Beth's neck. "Feeling any better yet?"

Beth explored her vulva with her fingers. Some of the tenderness had already disappeared. "I am, thank you."

"You know, there is a way we could fix this problem for you permanently." A third set of hands now rubbed her shoulders while a fourth set began working her feet. "So that you wouldn't have to worry again."

"I'm all ears."

"I could give you the gift," Naia whispered, her voice like velvet. "Bless you like I blessed Mike."

Beth's eyes opened. "Like a soul exchange?"

"Yes. You are already the next Caretaker in line, and you are right for this house. I feel safe enough offering it to you."

She mulled it over. By going through the process with Naia, she would be inexorably linked to the nymph forever, and therefore the house. "Would I have magic like Mike?"

Naia laughed. "Nobody has magic as he does. But yes, you would have some magic of your own. For one thing, your body would be able to keep up with your sexual adventures. No more soreness. In fact, you will always be as wet as you want to be. That isn't really a trick Mike can use."

"I guess not." Did she really want to be like the others? It felt weird so casually deciding to part with a little bit of her humanity in exchange for the magic that Naia offered. However, the possibilities being presented would also put her on a more level playing field with everyone else. As of right now, she was the only true human in the house.

The moment that thought crossed her mind, she felt all the threads of her insecurities knit together. It wasn't so much that Mike was gone and had taken the others. It was the fact that she felt inadequate, that she was still an outsider. Even something as simple as the banshee scream was a trick in Mike's arsenal. All Beth really had was a monster kink and a law degree. Neither of these was very useful in a fight.

"Are you sure?" Beth asked.

"The fact that you hesitate to even accept such a gift tells me that I'm right about you." Another set of hands were massaging her calves now. "And I can also promise you that the process is quite enjoyable."

Beth chuckled. "I'm sure it is. But I guess what I really want to ask is whether I will still be me? Afterward, will I be a different person?" She thought of how the magic had eventually corrupted Emily. It wasn't a path she wanted to walk on.

"In a way," Naia replied. "It will be no different than the first time you had sex. You will still be the same person, but what will happen is that certain doors will be open to you. It will be your choices that define how you walk through them, and that is when you may become someone else. It will be your choice."

Beth closed her eyes. She knew that she could trust Naia, but this was a big moment.

"I accept," she whispered in excitement.

More hands touched her now. They massaged her breasts, her hips, and even teased her labia. She let out a tiny moan as the warm water encased her body. Though her upper half was above the tub, the water climbed her skin until it was just below her chin.

The hands pulled her down beneath the water, and she opened her eyes in time to see Naia's face in front of hers. The nymph's blue eyes were ablaze with light as she put her hands on Beth's cheeks.

"And now we shall become one," Naia told her, and pulled her in for a kiss.

The water surrounded Beth completely, and she realized that she was now breathing through Naia's mouth. Each breath made her mouth tingle in a way that reminded her of inhaling cold air after sucking on a mint. The invisible hands had pushed her legs apart, and unseen digits toyed with both of her openings.

She moaned into Naia's mouth, their tongues now twisting around each other. Beth's body felt like it was on fire, trying desperately to mix with the cool water that surrounded her. This created a buzzing sensation that resonated through her entire body.

Breathe me in.

Naia's voice came from inside her head.

Beth took the deepest breath she could. Her lungs tingled, the sensation spreading through her entire chest and upper arms. The fingers toying with her labia were now vibrating against her clit, and she spread her legs wide at the sensation of pressure against her vagina.

Take me in.

The swirling water around them glowed green and blue, and a pair of thick water tendrils pressed against Beth's crotch. She opened her legs and let them push inside her. Pressure was building on her asshole, so she reached back and pulled her butt cheeks apart to give Naia better access.

Once the amorphous water was inside her, it began to expand. Beth gasped and let out a low moan, but Naia's tongue had become water as well and moved down her throat.

There was a moment of panic when Beth realized that there wasn't any air to inhale. The water penetrated her now in all three openings, and she started to fight as her vision went dark around the edges. Her whole body tensed as an immense orgasm built, but the fear of drowning was taking over.

Trust, Naia told her. Trust me.

Having little choice, Beth inhaled.

The water filled her lungs, but it was as if she was breathing cold air. Her eyelids fluttered as a sense of peace came over her, and then it no longer felt like she was breathing at all.

It's like I'm drowning, she thought.

The water filled her body, rushing inside of her. Naia's laughter filled her ears as her whole body thrummed with sexual energy. She was on the brink of coming, but something held her back.

Open yourself to me.

Naia's voice came from everywhere at once, and the room filled with blinding light. When it receded, Beth realized she was no longer in the bathroom.

She was hovering in a field of stars. Her hair drifted around in front of her face, and when she went to tuck it back, she saw that her arm was translucent.

"Where am I?" she asked.

"With me." Naia appeared in the void, her body made entirely of water. The runes on her body were glowing bright, the light too intense to look at directly. "I'm surprised your consciousness is in here. Do you recognize this place?"

Beth nodded. When her soul was being filtered to rid it of Oliver's influence, she had been in a similar place. "Am I just a soul right now?"

"You are," Naia answered. "And you're about to become so much more."

When Naia pressed herself against Beth, she could feel the two of them merge together. For a moment, she felt like she was in two places at once, touching herself and being touched.

"The human body is roughly two-thirds water," Naia whispered to Beth as their souls continued merging. In the back of her mind, Beth was dimly aware of her body being stretched and distorted by the water as it forced its way inside of her. "And in a moment, it will all be replaced with me."

The humming in Beth's body reached a crescendo and she came. One of the distant stars exploded, sending pink and purple light out into the universe.

"It isn't just a spiritual swap," Naia explained as her soul encased Beth's and continued sinking in. "I can change you from the inside. Take what's already there and improve it. I am the magic, and the magic is me."

The light from the exploding star reached them, and Beth came again. This set off another supernova nearby.

"For a moment, we will be one." Naia had vanished, her voice now coming from Beth's lips. "And as I fill you with my light, so shall you fill me with yours."

"NAIA!" Beth gasped, and another star exploded. The wave of energy stretched her out, but before she could regain her shape, she came again. Another blastwave twisted her about, and she groaned as another one twisted her up.

We are mixing, Naia told her. We are the water. Together, we flow.

Beth cried out Naia's name again as the two of them swirled together. She was now without shape or form as she let the magical waves wash through her. Her consciousness expanded as they mixed and became one.

I can see who you are, Naia told her. I can relive your life.

Memories rushed through Beth's mind, ranging from her childhood to now. She was a teen, holding her breath beneath the ocean. She was an adult, walking across the stage at graduation. It was her first night in her apartment, and her fingers hovered over the latch of a briefcase carrying her secret stash.

Yes! Naia's voice was filled with excitement. Let me see it! Let me feel it!

Hours upon hours of memories swirled around them of Beth finding different ways to pleasure herself. Dildos of different shapes and sizes, each one stranger and more monstrous than the last. The time Beth mounted one to a pillow and came so hard she ruined the case. The tentacle shaped dildo she tried to fuck in the bath. The time she caused a dildo to fold and it broke in half.

Oh, that sweet frustration, you seek its release! Beth was now experiencing the memories as if she was there again, only the sensations were overlapping each other. Her first time with the Delightful Dragon was overlapped with her first time fucking Asterion. Now she was with Suly as he bent her over the sundial and fucked her hard from behind. Now it was the time two weeks ago when she had fingered Asterion's ass while blowing him, hoping to tease some extra cum out of his cock.

"More!" Beth cried. "I want to feel more! I want to feel it all!"

The memories became like water and spun around them. The stars in the sky were exploding so fast now that Beth and Naia were condensed into a sphere of sex, energy, and light.

Let us become one!

Naia's voice was full of exultation, and Beth could see the nymph's past unfold. She was now there for all the times that Naia had sex with Mike, then backward to Emily, and then the next Caretaker before. Every sexual encounter overlapped with each other as pleasure pounded through her very core.

One last memory caught her attention. Naia was standing in the woods by a burbling spring when a figure stepped from behind a nearby tree. It was Amymone's tree, and the dryad stood by the figure, a look of excitement painted onto her face.

"I accept," Naia said.

"I'm glad." The voice was soft, and Beth couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman. Their features had been blurred away, as if someone had rubbed a thumb over paint before it could dry. When they held a hand out for Naia, the nymph took it. Power rushed through her body and she let out a cry as the nearby ground erupted and the house pushed its way up through the soil. Amymone cheered in excitement as the ground swelled and pushed nearby trees away.

The memories disappeared, and it was just Beth and Naia now. The two of them had become one, a swirling mass of magic that sat alone in the dark. There was a single moment of silence, and Beth realized that she could no longer tell where she ended and the nymph began.

At that moment, they had become perfectly balanced. Then, with a single pulse of magic, Beth's ears were filled with the sound of roaring as it all came apart. The sensation stole her breath and forced heat through her body. Naia started moaning Beth's name over and over again as the energy built between them.

With one final scream, they came. The universe was nothing but light, and then the two of them separated.

Back in her body, Beth realized that she was in the air. She was in a reclined position and surrounded by a watery sphere. Her belly was distended, and she screamed as the orgasm from the soul exchange caused her to tense up and spray water out of her body. This water gradually coalesced into Naia, who proceeded to press herself against Beth.

"That's right, come for me!" Naia demanded as her magic raced through Beth.

Beth obeyed, and the watery orb sprayed outward in every direction, soaking the walls and floor of the bathroom. She fell, but was caught by jets of water that lay her gently down in the tub. Her whole body shook as she tried to grab something, to brace herself as one last orgasm pushed itself free.

Her hands found Naia's, and their fingers locked together as Naia pressed her lips to Beth's. She was surrounded once more, the water of the tub rushing around her to form a giant bubble. Her body was hot and cold at the same time, and steam had fogged up the mirror and windows. Closing her eyes, she whispered Naia's name like a prayer.

When Beth finally opened her eyes, she was above the water. The light that came in through the windows seemed brighter and more vibrant. It was like someone had adjusted the color and saturation hues of the whole world. Birds sang in the distance, their song calling to her. She longed to be outside, to feel the open sky above her and the breeze on her face.

"How do you feel?" asked Naia. "I'm very curious. I've never experienced such a strong bonding before."

"Amazing." Beth's whole body felt relaxed, as if her muscles had been stretched and put back into place. "Am I...different now?"

"Go look." Naia gestured to the mirror. Beth stood, her legs wobbling beneath her. From the bath, she gasped at her own reflection.

It was undeniably her, but there were subtle differences. Her hair was now curled perfectly, despite being wet only minutes ago. Her lips had an extra splash of color that complimented her complexion perfectly. And her eyes. They glowed as if she was staring into a bright light.

Naia rose from the water and wrapped her arms around Beth's waist. She settled her head in the crook of Beth's neck and smiled at their reflection.

"Welcome to the sisterhood," she said, then planted a kiss on Beth's neck. "You've been deeper inside me than any other man or woman, by the way. I don't just say that to anybody."

Beth snorted hard, then laughed. "I can easily say the same," she said between her own tears. "Oh my goodness, I feel so light! Like I can do anything."

"You'll find there are lots of things you can do now," Naia told her. "A touch of precognition, a dash of charisma, and my personal favorite..." One of her hands slid down and cradled Beth's upper pubis. "No more tenderness. You'll be able to handle anything you put your mind to, within reason. That Delightful Dragon of yours should still be handled with caution. Personal lubricant won't ever be an issue again, so that should help."
