Chapter 680 679: Vampire's Tired Mind

Leone PoV

Lounging on the soft mattress of my bed, I sighed quietly as I stared at the ceiling, feeling a little worn out and tired after such a long night.

Anput was a demanding lover sometimes, and I found her neediness to be rather adorable, like a cute puppy that continuously yapped at its owner to grab their attention; except instead of yapping, she was whispering into my ears and licking my face, which while that was indeed like a puppy, I certainly wouldn't let a puppy do any of the things that she did to me after that...

Where Jahi was straightforwards and dominant, Anput left behind the illusion of choice, the Jackalkin getting her enjoyment from hearing her partners tell her what they wanted from her before doing it, whereas Jahi just took what she wanted.

Both were good, and I relished the attention of both, but I could certainly see the differences between the two.

Then there was Kat, who was a devious minx that mixed the two into the perfect blend; she rarely outright said that she wanted to make love to a certain person, instead alluding to it and inviting them through her actions to get what she wanted, before taking the lead from there and extracting what she wanted from us after that.

All in all, they were all tiring lovers since they demanded everything, but the sex was fulfilling... and whilst I was embarrassed to admit it, I was addicted to the action of fulfilling those desires, since they aligned with my own.

Even now, napping quietly on another bed, Kat had left herself open for me to use if I desired it, the Dogkin briefly waking up a few minutes ago to tell me that if I wanted to, I could take her however I pleased as she slept...

I had thought I was accustomed to the intricacies of each of my lovers, and yet it would seem that I was still finding out new things about them even now; I mean, who would want to have someone making love to them while they slept?!

Was that seriously a kink that people had, and was it really something that Kat liked?!

It boggled my mind, but...

Well, I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to partake in her once like this, since my curiosity to know what it would feel like for us both was quite high.

However, for the time being I let my body rest, the strain from servicing my Sultanate equivalent still making me sore even now, and while I could just magic away my problems, there was something cathartic about just laying in bed and thinking, taking this time to rest and knowing that I was allowed to do so.

The mattress hugged my body from below, the sheets wrapped around my body from the top, and the pillows beneath my head and my feet brought the pressure off of those places, leaving me feeling rather relaxed as I just laid there.

It was bliss, so why not just enjoy that bliss and take this peaceful time to just think about things, instead of going going going like we had been for the last few months.

These moments of peace were becoming rarer, more of our time spent on the move to a new location where we would be fighting something or another before returning to the Palace for just a few days, and that was wearing down on our minds.

I could tell that everyone wanted to take a moment to breathe, and I was the same; I loved my research, my alchemy and my spells, but I just wanted to let them sit to the side for now.

My notebook filled with theories and ideas was beside me, but I hadn't opened it in awhile, and the book on top of it was just a simple romance novel that Anput suggested to me... one that I had slowly come to the realization was just a glorified smut novel with a focus on building the relationship between the adventurer and her childhood friend back at the village she had been born in.

It took a few chapters to realize that, and I still felt my cheeks redden when I recalled how it had gone from a heart thumping confession scene about their relationship blooming into something new to a scene of the childhood friend offering herself to the main character and giving her a separate oral pleasure...

Not something I wanted to read, but...

Well, it was still on my nightstand anyways, wasn't it?

Pulling the blankets closer to my face, I turned over and glanced at Kat, focusing on her sleeping face for a moment before letting my mind wander, finding myself thinking about the past.

Back then - something that doesn't seem fitting since 'then' was just a handful of years ago - I was incredibly shy and reserved; meeting new people and talking to them just wasn't something I wanted to do, and I found myself scared to do so.n/-o/(V--e-/1/-b--I/(n

Especially since my peers were of the Nobility; they put on fake fronts and facades to act more mature and like adults instead of being the child that they were, and as such they suppressed their childish love for things like magic or play fighting.

Magic was just a tool, or sword fighting needed to be taken seriously even if they were using sticks, not blades.

Everything was serious, and it felt stifling to me; I wanted to talk to my peers about the wonders and beauty of magic, and yet they didn't seem interested.

They were more focused on who was friends with who and how that power balance worked; the economy of a certain land, the feasibility of certain things.

None of it should have mattered to children, and yet they were determined to discuss it, pushing magic to the side; it was only a tool, after all.

I felt stuck and confused, the thing that I had viewed as so beautiful and fun now being labeled as nothing more than a thing to use to do something else, to become stronger so that you can do this or that.

It hurt me, and I didn't like listening to it, but I was forced to; I was the Princess, and they were my subjects and future counselors, advisers and retainers.

I needed them, and I needed to cultivate something between all of us to make that future smoother.

When I learned of the Demoness awakening to Light Magic, I was curious to see her, and Mom decided that it would be rather beneficial if I did see her.

Meeting Jahi and meeting Kat was so different from all the other Nobles; Jahi didn't care for true decorum, giving me the bare minimum before focusing instead on what she wanted, while Kat very quickly captivated my attention.

She showed interest in magic, and a deeper understanding compared to those that I knew.

We talked, and before I realized it... I was hooked on picking her brain about magic, talking about this and that, how it affected that or how this was actually related to that...

It was euphoric, and I became smitten.

Then there was the gallant Demoness who was slowly becoming the traditional knight in shining armor to me; handsome, strong, loyal...

Jahi was becoming more and more physically attractive, and her personality was refreshing compared to our peers; meanwhile, Kat became equally as attractive as Jahi, but where the Demoness was roguish yet valiant, the Dogkin maid was becoming sexy and ravishing.

Then her mind on top of her body only made her even more attractive to me, to the point that - should Jahi reject my advances - I was determined to swoon the Dogkin maid away from the Demoness and into the Palace, to be my friend and my lover...

I wanted her, and I wanted her so bad...

Magic united us back then, and it was magic now that kept us close; I held something special to each of the women I was in love with, but Kat would always bring me that youthful joy of learning something new... alongside the deep, almost primal desires to sink my fangs into her and 'own' her.

In fact...

Feeling my body heat up even more, I blushed as I watched Kat nuzzle her pillow, deep in sleep and potentially dreaming of something blissful, and I couldn't help as I got up, free from my comfortable 'restraints' and open to the world.

I made my way over towards the sleeping Dogkin and pursed my lips, before I began to gently and methodically unwrap her from the blankets before replacing that warmth with my own, embracing her and beginning to partake in her, doing as she had suggested earlier and allowing my desires to be fulfilled as I held her close.

Her scent intoxicated me, but not as much as her blood did as I leaned down and sunk my fangs into her neck, taking a few sips of the tart ambrosia that was her blood while maintaining a steady pace.

It was like heaven for me, and I could tell that after a few rounds, I would be enjoying the bliss of sleep again... but until then, I had a very different bliss to partake in.
