Harem Reborn

Chapter 30: Demon Desires

"Are you ready yet?" Lavender asked Iona for the sixth time.

"Yes, we can go now, you purple haired slave drive."

Victoria sighed. The two of them had been like this since Dave and Tilly left to take care of the snake demon. It had been quiet for about an hour while Iona rested, but as soon as Iona got up, Lavender wanted to go.

"Come on, Victoria," Lavender called as she pushed the struggling Iona out the door.

"Unhand me, wench!"

Lavender and Iona calmed down somewhat as they left the room. Victoria followed them to the door of the demon succubus. Lavender began to open the door, but Iona kicked it out of her hand.

"Ouch! You little witch!" Lavender screamed as the door handle had been viciously ripped from her grasp by Iona's kick.

"Hehe!" Iona giggled as she dodged Lavender's grapple and ran into the liar.

"Grrr, why did Dave leave her with us?" Lavender turned to question Victoria, who threw her hands up in defense.

"You did suggest the idea to Dave, remember?" Victoria cautiously said.

"That's only because it's Tilly. Even if we both don't get to spend this life with him, there are always more lives we can spend with him. All of us made that pact along time ago, but you know Tilly's different," Lavender's expression had softened.

"Yeah, if we stand in the way, we might lose a new friend forever," Victoria had relaxed now as well. When they didn't have to keep an act up, the girls talked like old friends.

"If it hadn't been for Dave and me coming in together, and his determination to find me, then all of you, every time he could. Each of us could have been lost if he hadn't formed bonds with each. He has done so much for all of us, so we have to keep our pact."

"Do you really think Tilly is..." But, Victoria was cut off by a yell from Iona.

"What's taking you two idiots so long? You badger me and push me out the door lets go!" Iona's voice echoed from the door.

Both of the girls laughed and walked through the door. The room on the other side of it was grand and elegant, but everything was pink. Fifteen meters in front of them stood Iona on a pink staircase that led up to a second floor. Lavender opened her inventory and got her gauntlet out while Victoria pulled out a black saber made by Tilly.

"I'm gonna put one of you over my knee if you don't hurry up!" Iona taunted and ran up the stairs.

"Mmmmm!" Lavender made an angry noise and stalked after Iona.

"Don't you think we should stick together?" Victoria tried to protest, but Iona was already out of sight, and Lavender was trailing after her.

Victoria jogged to catch up to Lavender, and both of them ascended the velvet stairs. Once at the top, they walked to the left and entered the door Iona had just disappeared behind. Inside, Iona was sitting in a chair.

"What are you doing?" Lavender asked, but Iona didn't answer or move. She just sat there.

"I don't think I feel ok. Woah, I need to si..." Victoria had tried to get to a chair, but she started to fall.

Lavender rushed to her side and helper her to one of the chairs. The room was some kind of parlor with a stage in front of them. The second Victoria fell back into her chair, the stage lit up with lights, and a complex microphone lowered down to the front and center of the stage.

Lavender prepared herself for whatever was going to come from behind the curtain. She wasn't ready for the beautiful woman in a pink dress to approach her from behind. The black hair and pale blue skin passed Lavender by without a sound and froze her in place.

Without understanding why she couldn't move, Lavender could only watch on as the demoness took the stage. She had small bat-like wings coming from the top of her head and a body that made Lavender blush a bit. The demoness reached for the microphone and spoke and a smooth and seductive voice.

"Look at all you darling girls, each has a beauty of her own, but you all have a love for the same man. The other two fell asleep right away, mmm, but you're stronger than them."

The succubus came down of the stage and moved deliberately slow towards Lavender. No matter what she tried, Lavender couldn't move. It felt like she had been drained somehow. The demoness leaned into Lavender and kissed the side of her neck, and started moving deeper.

Lavender's face burst with redness, and she started seeing black spots in her vision, like a head rush. The succubus began to tickle her, and somehow Lavender was able to squeal. If anyone ever found out about this scene, she would never live it down.

Meanwhile, In Iona's mind...

Iona walked through the noble 15th level wearing a beautiful blue dress and her hair down. She was supposed to meet someone special to her. The smell of fresh baked goods drew her attention, and Iona wandered over to where the smell came from.

Inside, A man with black jeans and a white shirt was buying some fancy pastries. Iona approached, and the man turned around to look at her. Dave held the sweets he had bought in one hand and offered Iona his other.

"Are you ready to go?" He asked in a kind and gentle voice that made Iona feel warm and girly.

She grabbed his hand, and Dave led her out of the shop and back into the street. They walked to one of the noble terraces and sat at a table overlooking the city. Dave placed the bag of pastries on the table and then put them on a plate that was there.

"I hope these are all your favorite treats that you enjoy!" Dave announced happily.

"Why all the treats and fancy places? I only just met you."

"Even though we have just met, I feel like I have known you my entire life!" Dave proclaimed with a flourish of his hand, and then he got down on one knee. "Marry me, and you can spank me every day.

Meanwhile, in Victoria's mind...

The smell of the spice made Victoria's heart get excited because today was Friday. He always came to get his latte, and she would have it ready when he arrived. As Victoria poured the cream froth into the cup, the bell 'DING' sound of the door let me know he was here.

"Do you think that I could get that Latte and you to go?" Dave asked Victoria when she turned around.

"What do you mean?" Victoria questioned him, with a small smile creeping onto too her face.

Dave reached across the counter and made Victoria put down the latte. After, he took her hands in his and looked into her eyes. "I'm sure your boss will let you have the day off if you tell her it's to spend it with me, right?"

She wanted to protest, but Victoria's manager, a kind old motherly lady that knew how to crack a whip. The old woman could be as hard as nails about the tab, but she treated her girls well. Mrs. Harker looked at Dave with a smile and then turned to Victoria.

"Get outta here, gurl. You need a day off more the most do, so go have some fun with this boy. Don't you act like I haven't been seein' you starin' at him," Mrs. Harker chided Victoria, making her cheeks burn.

The two of them left after Victoria changed from her work uniform to some casual wear. Dave held Victoria's hand as they walked for a little bit, but then he pointed out an ice cream shop. The two of us went and got cones of soft serve and then went to walk in the park.

"Do you think we could do this more often?" Dave asked her, staring forward as we walked.

"I would really like that," Victoria quietly replied. This was something she wanted very badly.

Dave sped up and then turned arms outstretched.

"Then, can I have to myself for the rest of our lives?"

Victoria fell into Dave's arms.

(Back to Lavender's situation)

Still frozen, the demoness was behind Lavender now, licking her neck and groping her inappropriately. Lavender's mind was slipping into a haze she was failing to fight off. It didn't make sense. Why did she feel drained?

"Fall into my embrace and let my dreams create your heart's desire," the temptress whispered in Lavender's ear, but something happened as she spoke.

Movement returned to her body as the missing piece was found. The haze on her mind snapped away, and Lavender became red hot with rage. The succubus let go of her screeching, and Lavender turned.

"How are you not weaker? You should have been getting weaker," the demoness cried, trying to back away.

"Stop!" Lavender shouted, reaching out to grab toward the demoness.

An earthen hand sprung from the ground and closed around the succubus tightly. The demon began to shriek and curse as Lavender walked over and slapped each girl awake.

"Let go of me, you stupid bitch! I'll tear your face from that purple hair. I KILL YOU!" But Lavender ignored the demoness and woke Iona and Victoria up.

"Let me hit you one more time," Iona dreamily spoke as she came too.

"Yes, I will stay with you forever," Victoria pronounced to Lavender as she shook Victoria awake.

"Wake up! You two are dreaming anymore!" Lavender yelled at them both.

Iona got up faster after queuing into the screaming demon, and Victoria shook herself, but that's all Lavender needed. Turning back to the struggling demon Lavender, raised her hand again. Lavender's eyes were on fire like the gems of her ring, and she spoke calm words to the struggling temptress.

"Burn to ashes."

Firebolts left Lavender's fingers by the dozen. Over a hundred small globes of magical fire rained into the demon, burning the screaming creature. Soon, nothing but ash and black particles were left.

Iona stepped forwards after the fireworks had ended, syringe in hand. She gave an exaggerated yawn as she walked forward, stretching her arms up, needle held aloft. Iona brought it back down and gripped it like a shotgun.

"Here goes my fifteen seconds of effort," Iona grumbled as she pulled back on the plunger of the needle.

The black particles were pulled out of the air and into Iona's massive syringe. They swirled like a cyclone as they were pulled inside. Soon, the glass tube was filled with a moving black liquid.

"All done. Phew, carry this back," Iona said, tossing the needle to Victoria. "Since I did all the work, I shouldn't have to," Iona had started to walk towards the door, but they started running as small firebolt's chased her.
