Crazy Seduction(erotica)

They took their seats, and Henry looked to Sigrid’s empty chair and sent a concerned look to Camila. After they’d returned from Eden Monday night, he’d given her a kiss goodnight, and he thought all was good. Tuesday, she didn’t come to work, and Camila didn’t hear from her. Henry called Meixiu, who reported that she’d heard Sigrid leave the house sometime in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

Now there was no sign of her at the meeting.

Camila called the meeting to order. “I’ll begin with an update on Sigrid. She sent me a text to say she needed a few days off to visit her mother, who lives in a small mountaintop village in Italy. I’m not sure if we’ll see her until after the Christmas break.”

Henry leaned back and felt a little better. He hoped Sigrid’s mom was okay. Winter could be a terrible time for the elderly, and she lived in the mountains? Extra chilly!

The minutes were read, and when Camila spoke of the little bit extra everyone, from the execs right down to the cleaning staff, would be getting this year in their paycheque because of the new software deals VRL signed. There was much rejoicing. Henry’s return meant future windfalls, so smiles were on all faces.

Then they moved to regular business matters, and Henry got to practice staying awake.

After lunch, Henry was called to Camila’s office. He knew it must almost be time for the twin’s assessment. Felix gestured for him to enter, so he gave the man a smile, knocked on the door before pushing it open, and closed the door behind himself. He turned to face Camila and found himself facing her and three women in cloaks, their hoods pushed back.

Succubi were a bit of a weakness for Henry, and while Camila was in her glamor, the other three were not. Henry felt his libido sit up and take notice. The ladies smiled as they caught the automatic signs of his attraction.

“You’re right on time, Henry,” Camila said with a smile she obviously hoped would give him confidence. “Henry, this is Nuru Onwudiwe, leader of the Succubi Association.” Henry bowed to her, and her smile widened in satisfaction. “And her two attendants, Bisa and Leal.” Henry tipped his head to them, and they returned the gesture. “Nuru, this is Henry Gable, our CIO and the source of the Wild Magic I was not previously at liberty to speak of.”

Nuru stepped forward to approach Henry. “I have been looking forward to meeting you since I first detected a new form of Magic powering Camila.”

“I’m sorry I had to remain a secret,” Henry said with a smile.

“Would you mind if I scented you?” the Succubi leader asked.

“Uh, sure,” he said as he glanced at Camila, who was biting her lip to keep from laughing at his expression.

The Succubus leaned in and inhaled. Henry decided he’d give her a little treat and opened his rift slightly as she moved in close.

“Oh my god,” she gasped and stumbled forward to lean against his body, gripping his biceps as he braced her arms to keep her on her feet. Her cheek rested on his shoulder, and she inhaled deeper. He let the energy gently drift from himself into her, but not too much as she’d likely lose consciousness, and he needed her to assess the twins.

She pushed herself to her feet and flashed a bright smile at him. “Thank you for the energy. It’s quite delicious. She licked her lips, and he felt that, intimately. Her smile widened. “I would very much like to sample a pure source of this, but today is not that day. We are here for another purpose, a rather unorthodox and complex issue for us. A very private one as well. That Mab interfered with the Succubi internal policy is unforgivable, but the crime was committed long ago, and justice has been served. You have our thanks for that.”

Henry nodded and glanced nervously at Camila.From NôvelDrama.Org.

“Now we must address the fact of the twins-”

“I have proclaimed in front of witnesses from multiple races that I claim them for House Villamor, and I have named them Aadiya and Maliha,” Camila stated.

Nuru’s eyes flashed as she looked at Camila. “That was presumptive of you and premature as I had not made an assessment.”

Camila nodded but held her ground. Nuru’s nostrils flared in frustration. “Where are they?”

“They are at my condo,” Henry said, and Nuru’s eyes flashed in anger.

“You didn’t bring them here-”

Henry held up a hand. “Give me a minute.” He watched her for a second, and she seemed to get control of her temper. He nodded and walked over to Camila’s washroom door, which she’d purposefully left open. He closed it and used the Magic Door spell to link it to his closet. He opened the door and heard Nuru make a sound of surprise.

“Aadiya? Maliha?” he called out. He waited a moment as he heard them scrambling to join him. He smiled as they rushed around the corner. When they arrived, he hugged them and kissed their temples, which got them purring. He pulled back and cupped their cheeks with his palms, looking into their dark eyes as they gazed at him in adoration. “Best behavior. I want you to meet someone very important.”

He turned and guided them into Camila’s office. They clung to his arms as they followed him in. Their wings opened slightly as they had space for it.

Nuru gasped as she took in the red-orange skin, lack of hair, and black orbs eyes. The wings shocked her. “Feral twins,” she gasped quietly. Her body trembled in disgust. This abomination-

“No!”

Nuru twitched at the sharpness in Henry’s tone, and she looked to him.

“Whatever the Succubi policy was for such beings, its purpose was for maintaining secrecy, when the Hidden Races were just that, hidden. We’re no longer hidden, and we have a chance at survival because of some very smart and compassionate actions. I understand you have centuries of mental programming to contend with, but we’re asking you to rise above it and grasp new solutions that this new era is granting us.” He saw Nuru was struggling, so he continued. “The world has changed overnight, and soon everyone will be transformed into one of the Hidden Races. There is room for all.”

Nuru’s mouth was working, but she made no noise. Finally, she found her voice. “Wings! They have wings! Where will they fly?” she asserted.

Henry smiled. “Eden.”

“Where?” the Succubi leader asked.

“The dimension where my magic comes from. There are no people there aside from Glass People and Silver People.” Henry gestured to the open space before Camila’s sofa, where a tear opened to the other dimension, and the leader was looking into a new world.

“Oh my god!” she sighed as she took a step closer, her eyes taking in every difference.

“You said you dreamed of being an explorer, but it’s all been discovered here. Eden is a new unknown world,” Camila said.

Nuru whipped her head around to glare at Camila. “That sounds like a bribe.”

“By no means. There is no connection between the status of the twins and Eden,” Camila assured her.

Nuru nodded, then looked back out through the tear and watched it close.

“It takes a lot of energy to keep the tear open,” Henry explained.

The Succubi leader looked to Henry. “How are you able to open Magic Doors and rips in space to other dimensions. It’s my understanding that Satyr’s were conduits, not wielders.”

“Please understand, I’m not saying this to be a dick or to make myself sound like some kind of boogieman. Baba Yaga made me what I am, but I turned out nothing like her, much to her dismay. My natural inclinations proved stronger than her nurturing.

I’m a new breed of wielder. Baba connected me to that world of Wild Magic, which is far more powerful than the old realm, which I also have access to. This is more magic than anyone’s ever seen, and I have all of Baba’s spells, all of them. There’s shit in my head I don’t dare look at for fear of losing my sanity. But I’ve also learned to do things Baba had no idea could be done. That said, I have no interest in using magic, aside from the helpful stuff like the Magic Door.”

He paused for a second to ensure he had their complete attention. He could see the three Succubi were already reeling from his confession. It was time to drive the point home.

“If I’m forced to do so, I will use whatever means I have at my disposal to protect my friends and family. The twins may have been claimed as part of House Villamor, but make no mistake, they’re part of my family, too.”

He held Nuru’s eyes, and she saw the strength of his conviction. She saw she had no real choice.

“I see. Well then. I hereby endorse the membership of Aadiya and Maliha as members of House Villamor,” she said. Her attendant Bisa quickly seconded the endorsement, and it was done.

“Thank you, Nuru,” Henry said and bowed deeply to her. The twins glanced at her then matched his gesture.

He turned to the twins and whispered into their ears, bringing huge smiles to their faces, then he gestured for them to go back to the condo.

“Goodbye, Camila!” Aadiya and Maliha called out and waved to her as Nuru stared at them in shock. Camila waved to the ladies, and they rushed back through the washroom door. Henry closed it and released the link.

“They speak?” Nuru asked quietly.

Henry smiled at her. “Yes, they’re socializing well. Still much to learn, but with my friends’ love and guidance, they are progressing well. Will they ever reach full adult capabilities? Time will tell. They are sweet-tempered, loving, mischievous, and… they have unquenchable enthusiasm and hunger for… many things. Living with a Satyr may be their best option.”

Nuru found herself smiling. Her earlier decision no longer felt so forced. Her interest was piqued regarding this interesting male before her.
