Burning Lust

[GamingLord]

In Eztli's mind, he was almost pleading that Adira's hunger would be sated enough that she would soon come to her senses, before he entirely lost his control. His fingers twitched, and his mind felt rushed with emotion.

His mind slowly felt like it was going out of control, gradually losing it's grip... It at first had started out clear, but each thought was now becoming more and more clouded with lust and want, urges and desires springing forth from the shadows of his head. Although he wanted to help Adira, he was finding he wanted to more help himself with Adira as time passed with her influencing him.

Just as his hands were about to roam, Rosemary swiftly reminded him that he was indeed being watched by others... a number of others. This was just enough of a splash of cold water to himself to snap him out of it for the time being, despite fibers of his being yelling at him to damn whoever else was watching... and in the long run, he didn't want either one of them to be really taken advantage of, though he wasn't sure who was taking advantage of who at this point.

He gradually and carefully broke his kiss with Adira, but didn't remove his embrace he discovered he had around her.

"Adira... we need to stop. Listen, I can feed you, but it can't be all at once. That would be too much, too fast. Would smaller, lesser sessions but happening more often help?"

He's almost there...his control is almost gone. Just...a little...more... She could feel the rush of emotion in his mind. She sucked at it, feeding. The succubus unconsciously blocked the interrupting thoughts of her hounds trying to stop her. She had to reason to heed the hell hounds. The raven-haired female vampire spoke and she felt the angel's control returning. s**t. She had to begin the process again. She was about to start again when the angel pulled away. He spoke kindly to her...so kindly...Adira was full. Her own consciousness returned.

Adira's hands froze in their own wandering. Her face heated up. I just...I lost control. Shock and embarrassment flooded into her mind. She kept her thoughts to herself. Hell, everyone was watching. Everyone. I need to... She pulled out of Eztli's grip, ignoring his question. "Excuse me. I'm so sorry. I didn't...that wasn't supposed to happen." She stumbled up and headed for the door.

With their mistress' quick change of heart, the hounds got to their feet from where they'd been sitting.

Ophelia, with her generally swifter reflexes, was the first to stand and make her way to her Adira.

Banquo followed his mate without much delay. He was the first to speak. "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." Banquo heard Adira mutter.

Daphne shrugged her shoulders, "I don't think so." She answered easily, playfully leaning closer to Rosemary to take a good look, "I don't see it. Don't mind him--" She nudged Cian, "He just doesn't know you as well as I do. He's also not used to living with so many other people and/or creatures."

"You know I am standing next to you, right? You do not need to speak about me as if I was elsewhere, love." the old vampire rolled his red eyes at his mate in exaggeration, "Nonetheless, you are right. I'm not used to it. I accept the apology, Rosemary, and would like to offer one of my own. I can be a bit defensive of my skills. There are some instincts I need to tap into. Some I have chosen not to touch. It is a definite weakness. I would love you to see it sometime. I am sure there will be plenty of time for you to see it in action. I would like us to get along as well."

Without the near unbearable feeling of lust clouding his mind, Eztli was able to feel empathatically again as one of his kind should, as well as more easily gain control over what he was doing and clear his head. He almost gave a sigh of relief, but realized that would've hurt Adira's emotions quite a bit, as she ran off. He could feel waves of embarrassment coming off the succubus, as well as possibly shame and guilt.

Eztli frowned, pausing for a moment if he should go after Adira or not since the hounds had already followed. Mentally shrugging at whatever nagging doubts he had left, he figured he'd at least try to offer some form of reassurance and comfort to Adira unless directly told to go away by her. He didn't want her to dwell in negative emotions, so he followed after.

“Adira?....”



Dieamos considered what Ma Jianshen told him for a moment. ”No, I tried very hard not to torture souls that didn't deserve their punishments, and to the best of my knowledge, unless I had been deceived, that's what I did. I suppose I still feel like an evil act done, even against something considered evil, is still an evil act done, especially if you had delighted in it. I never did speak to Thas about this situation. Perhaps I should, or even to Sephiroth as you're suggesting.”

The goblin stretched and folded it's wings over itself like a cloak as it answered Rosemary's question. “No. I had used that spell in particular for the game, knowing we would be in a combat like situation. I'm very sure I can alter it however so that it wouldn't hurt innocent people if I were to be taken down.”

Daphne laughed softly at Rosemary’s first response to her leaning forward. Soon enough the older vampire realized what the younger woman was playing, however. ”Except for very few decades, I generally like being around people. Once I learned constraint, that is. I like to think I’m very sociable—for a vampire. Then again…I never stayed in one area for long. I tended to move pretty quickly once questions were being raised about diet and why I never aged. Awkward questions, as you know.”

Cian pat his wife on her arm, ”I am more of a recluse myself. I spent several decades on my own and I would have kept it that way if not for my master.” He shook his head. The vampire and his wife watched the screen. Cian liked seeing the whole battle. It helped his battle mind figure out strengths, weaknesses and the like. However, as the male was one of the first out of battle, he saw most of what was showing.


At Rosemary’s question, Daphne perked up. ”I have no idea!” She said loudly, ”I think it was because I was healing Galantros. I usually cannot manipulate lightning…being too close to fire.” Daphne shuddered. Fire was one of her biggest fears. Though every vampire was apprehensive of fire to some degree, Daphne explicitly and strongly feared it.
”We can test it though. Perhaps all three of us can work on it.” Cian nodded.

Adira walked swiftly by the vampire and the demon, not pausing to talk to either of them. She could still feel Eztli’s emotions though he was in the other room—a side effect of feeding from him as she had. He was trying to decide if he wanted to come after her…Adira really did not want an audience if he chose to.

The hounds kept up easily with their mistress, trying to decide what to say. What did one say when they just watched their mistress...for lack of a better word, feed?

When the succubus heard her name called and she froze. She heard the clicks of the hound’s claws back up some paces for privacy. s**t. What’s he going to say? ‘Never do that again’? ‘Freak’? ‘You need a better control over your power’? ‘Get back to Hell. I never want to see you again’? The worried thoughts came quickly and incoherently. ”Yes?” she managed, her body stiffened in anticipation.

Eztli could easily enough sense her embarrassment and nerves, and heard the hounds stepping away. He decided to try to say something reassuring. It was almost like he could hear the questions in her head.

“I don't think anyone's angry or anything. I'm not. Are you alright?”

The reaper angel was actually rather concerned for Adira, instead of thinking things such as “Freak”, or “Get back to Hell.”, or feeling contempt or anger. In an attempt to be comforting, he placed a gentle hand on her shoulder.

Sylin just gave a slight sort of shrug when the replay got to his death.

”It seemed like the best option at the time, since I was at his mercy for the most part. Take as much of him with me as possible.”

Galantros seemed to consider the helping Daphne understand the shooting lightning out of her hands bit. “You know, I guess if you need to use me to help determine if it's just because you're healing someone that eats up energy like electricity and stuff, I could lend a hand. Maybe I can do stuff like exhaust myself or slightly get injured for you to test out patching me up...”

(a late response) Jacob noted the loving response Veni gave him, and smiled back in kind. To be quite honest, that incident with Adira filling the air with her aura and such left him feeling a little flustered, but he was starting to calm down after it. Rosemary could probably sense the loving thoughts from Jacob rather easily presumably for both of them, and that slight effort to squash down some of the more concentrated and potent emotions.
