My Succubus Pet

I spun around quickly. Lorenzo was mid-air, delivering a flying kick, holding his scythe made of pure shadows.
“WHAT THE HELL, LORENZO?!”
“You told me to jump in if things got ugly.”
“THE THINGS WERE UGLY TEN SECONDS AGO, YOU PIECE OF—!”
“It’s your fault for not yelling.”
“Sure! I’ll have plenty of time to yell while trying not to die to a demon!”
Yume glanced at the window. Shattered from Lorenzo’s “grand entrance.”
“Hey, you broke the girl’s window for no reason!”
The gold coins vanished. My territory retracted. The succubus shrieked, furious, and lunged at me. Her claws grew back.
Lorenzo casually slammed his scythe into the ground. Chains made of black goo wrapped around the succubus, freezing her in place.
“Next time, do that sooner!”
“Next time, I’ll just let you die. How about that?”
Someone knocked at the door. An older female voice called through the room.
“Yume dear, I forgot my document with you. I’m coming in to get it.”
I grabbed Yume by the shoulders and started shaking her.
“I told you your parents were out, didn’t I?”
“Did you? I don’t remember that.”
Right, she was possessed by the succubus at that point. The door slowly creaked open. Sweat dripped from me. Yume searched for a place to hide, as if that were possible.
Lorenzo raised his hands with effort, like lifting a brick. A transparent wall of black goo materialized in front of us.
Yume’s hand reached through it. She looked just like herself: blonde hair, a pretty floral dress, slightly aged skin. Her blue eyes scanned the room but didn’t find what she wanted. She left. Lorenzo knelt, exhausted.
“We need to get out of here… my dad thinks I’m in my room.”
“Right. And what do we do with her? And with her?”
I pointed first at Yume, then at the succubus bound by chains. Lorenzo quickly went to Yume, pressed two fingers to the back of her neck, and her body simply went limp.
“What did you do?”
“Put her soul to rest…”
“YOU KILLED HER?!”
“Of course not, idiot… she’s just asleep.”
Lorenzo grabbed the chains holding the succubus and dragged her like a sack of potatoes. She didn’t resist, just lowered her head and stayed quiet.
“Come to think of it… how did it take you so long to defeat her?”
“I didn’t expect a sexual demon to be such a punching bag, you know?”
“Of course she’s strong… absorbing sexual energy from 800 teenagers for two weeks… I’m surprised you even died.”
“Shut up.”
Lorenzo lifted me like a potato sack. I’m amazed this guy is that strong. He climbed out the window with both of us in his arms, landing without a scratch. He slammed me to the ground.
“I need to get home… before my dad notices. Finish exorcising her for me?”
“Of course.”
He handed me the chains, but didn’t let go, gripping tightly and staring into my eyes.
“Atari… YOU exorcise her, understood?”
“Alright, man, I got it.”
He was swallowed by the shadow in the tree. The street was bathed in moonlight, empty and beautiful. I dragged the succubus through the night. The streets were empty, thank Fortune for that. How could I explain to anyone that I was dragging a demon home?
She didn’t speak a word. Her tail didn’t even twitch. Her horns had shrunk. I’d never seen a succubus—do they usually look this sad?
Well, it didn’t matter. We arrived. I dragged her inside with difficulty. Heavy, all that muscle mass. I set her down on the sofa. Her eyes seemed lifeless, dim, like a waning moon.
“Hey, are you listening?”
I nudged her face.
“Just finish this already, or are you going to humiliate me even more?”
“Who said I’ll exorcise you?”
“That tall guy told you to.”
“That was his plan, not mine…”
I went to the kitchen, filled a glass with water, and handed it to the succubus. She seemed genuinely confused.
“You know… I’ve always wanted a succubus as a pet.”
“You really think you can control me?”
“We’ll make a servitude contract.”
“And if I don’t want to?”
Golden energy swirled in my hand, forming a small gold coin. I pointed it at her head, as if to throw it.
“Then I’ll follow my friend’s plan.”
“Fine… I accept, but what are the rules?”
“Well, you can’t absorb any energy except mine.”
She looked at me and took a deep breath.
“Do we have a deal?”
“We do.”
I freed her from the chains. We shook hands. A golden mark appeared on her wrist and mine. She stepped back.
Her body started glowing brightly in golden light. When it finally faded, I could see her. The most beautiful thing I’d ever seen. If there were an eighth wonder of the world, it would be her.
Smooth skin, almost like porcelain. Bright wine-colored eyes. A body sculpted by the gods, full breasts. A thin, guitar-like waist, wide hips. Platinum hair, a pale yellow that refused to be dull. Upright, unshakable posture.
Her formerly red tail now shimmered a sparkling brown. White jean shorts contrasted with her bronzed skin. A shoulder-baring top. Tiny horns barely visible, soon fading. Large, pointed, colorful nails.
She raised her hand… and… touched her breasts?
Wow… I liked that too… I mean… crap, I fell for her charms again!
“What is this body?”
“You tell me, darling…”
“Huh?”
She ran her hands over herself, like a self-inspection.
“Succubi in contracts take the form their master desires…”
She slowly approached me, placing a nail under my chin. Great, my face must be bright red.
“In other words… this is purely the result of your desire.”
She leaned even closer. Her aura heavy. What’s this soft thing wrapping around my arm? Never mind… I refuse to identify it.
“Also… because of the contract, I can read certain thoughts…”
“What kind of thoughts?”
“Hmmm… like what you thought when you looked at me.”
“CAN YOU GET OUT OF MY HEAD PLEASE?”
My phone buzzed. Its sharp sound shattered my train of thought. The angel stepped back, heading to the kitchen.
“Ugh, what a pain!”
It was Lorenzo, his voice loose, probably just gotten out of bed.
“My dad said… tomorrow there’s a Ten Lords meeting.”
While I tried to focus on Lorenzo, the succubus grabbed an apple from the fridge, sat beside me, resting her head on my shoulder. She began eating slowly.
“Right, thanks for the heads-up.”
“I’ll be there at 10… be ready.”
She hung up. But the important part… why is she eating that apple so slowly? Her lips… so hydrated… Oh Fortune, give me strength to resist!
“So… when can I eat?”
“Not anytime soon.”
“ARGH… But I’m hungry!”
I decided to sleep before anything else went wrong. She followed me around the house, bouncing along. And that’s how I, Atari Shimo, ended up with a succubus as a pet.
