Chapter 54.3

Amara checked her phone for the umpteenth time that morning, then sighed in frustration as she realized how little time had passed. Falling asleep last night had been extraordinarily difficult, and after waking up again at five in the morning, she’d desperately wished for the ability to toss and turn in an attempt to make herself comfortable. However, as the love of her life was cuddled comfortably amidst her wings and tail, such fidgeting simply wasn’t possible.Thankfully, having a beautiful angel asleep in her arms made the wait much more bearable, to a point. Amara’s thoughts constantly alternated between two states: mentally gushing over how cute Vee was, and fighting the desperate heat between her own legs as she appreciated her girlfriend’s flawless body.

In the grand scheme of things, her current level of sexual frustration was fairly tame. Compared to their stint in Purgatory, where Amara had been reduced to a feral, scarlet-hued beast desperate for any hint of sexual arousal to feed on, her cravings today seemed like a walk in the park. However, given how active her sex life with Vee had been in the first month of their relationship, it was hard not to notice the slight dip in playfulness from Vee. Of course, with school now in full swing and the first successful stress test of the AV Club group text system, it was hardly surprising that Vee had a lot on her plate.

That didn’t make her toned body any less appealing, of course.

Amara missed the way Vee’s legs quivered at her touch, the way they shook and buckled within her tail as Amara ate her out. She missed the feeling of Vee’s hands on her horns, the subtle insistence of her desire as she held Amara down between her legs. It had been a few days since they’d last fucked, and while Amara had been trying to use her powers sparingly, this was about as far as her hellfire rationing would take her.

After another hour of attempting to find comfort in her bed, Vee finally started to stir. Her legs flexed, straightening out as if to push the sleep out of her body, and she gently rubbed her cheek against Amara’s wing as she took a deep breath. Thrilled to see her stirring, Amara wrapped an arm around her waist and softly hugged her.

“Morning, love,” Amara whispered.

“Mmmm good morning, Amara,” Vee whispered back. “How’d you sleep?”

Amara paused for a moment, the significance of her silence partially lost to her. “Uh, it was a bit rough. Any chance you’re looking for a quick bit of fun before we get up?” As if to punctuate her request, the tip of Amara’s tail began playfully tracing up and down the angel’s legs.

“I’ll bet that’s much more enjoyable than an alarm,” Vee said with a playful smirk.

The hellfire at the core of Amara’s being flickered in excitement, and her eyes flared as she prepared to connect with Vee’s aura. Instead of holding her waist, she moved her fingers to Vee’s hips, tracing small circles to ease her into a more passionate state. Leaning forward, she then pushed her lips against Vee’s, her heart skipping a beat as they kissed each other. She breathed in Vee’s scent, savored the feel of her skin under her fingers, and the two spent several minutes simply enjoying the moment.

It took longer than usual for Vee’s aura to swell, but thankfully Amara was in no rush; Vee always woke up considerably earlier than her alarms. As the intensity of her arousal grew, its smell overpowering Vee’s natural scent, Amara began studying the ebbs and flows to determine what Vee was in the mood for today.

Her aura was relatively peaceful, closer to a babbling brook than a raging river, and it told Amara that the secret to keeping Vee happy was something quiet and intimate. With how sleepy they both were, that sounded like a wonderful idea, and Amara immediately went to work setting the scene. Her tail, instead of creeping towards Vee’s sex, instead coiled around one of Vee’s legs, ideally making her feel safe and surrounded by love. Amara then lightly dragged a fingernail up Vee’s side, sliding underneath her shirt until she found the bottoms of Vee’s breasts. There, she continued tracing small circles, appreciating the curves of Vee’s body as she inched closer and closer to her nipples.

Vee gasped quietly when Amara finally found them, gently pinching just hard enough to get her excited. Their hips pushed together, with Amara taking great care to match Vee’s slow, sensual grinding. She paused again, letting the moment wash over them so they could fully enjoy its subtleties, and once Vee’s aura signaled she wanted more, Amara happily obliged.

Her hand left Vee’s breasts, reaching for her shorts before pushing inside. She took her time, savoring each and every inch of Vee’s flawless body, when her fingers finally found Vee’s sex.

Pleasure shot through Vee, thus doing the same with Amara, as if this connection were an electrical charge desperate to find a new home. The incredible ambrosia that was Vee’s pleasure filled Amara’s senses, rejuvenating her more than a good night’s sleep ever could. Her fingers reached out, then pulled down in long, deliberate strokes, each one filled with the passionate reassurance of their love for each other. Amara paid close attention to Vee’s aura, occasionally teasing her slick entrance or increasing the speed of her massage just to ensure Vee truly got everything out of this she could. True to Amara’s initial read, however, Vee was content with a simple, sleepy fuck to start the day, and so Amara obliged.

Their lips parted as Vee began panting more heavily, and Amara took the chance to tease Vee’s neck. She gently kissed it, then carefully bit down, a mere suggestion of something rougher, but made sure not to push Vee away from the comfortable pace they’d found with each other.

Vee moaned quietly as Amara bit her, and her aura began to swell once again. Amara kept her current pace, slowly massaging Vee’s clit back and forth, back and forth, all the while savoring the fresh arousal that now coursed through her body. She was thrilled Vee had gotten up so early, and was looking forward to taking full advantage of the extra time they had.

And then Vee came.

The orgasm caught Amara entirely by surprise. After almost a month of dating, she’d grown incredibly used to the intricacies of Vee’s arousal, and she’d never seen Vee cum with so little warning. Doubly strange was the relatively low amount of arousal tied to the orgasm; were it not for the context, Amara might have thought this orgasm was perhaps the fourth or fifth in a slowly dwindling series of climaxes.

Amara fed as much as she could, but as the pleasure raced through Vee, it quickly became clear that there would be no encore. Vee’s arousal dissipated incredibly quickly at the same time her orgasm faded, and it wasn’t long before her aura had grown too weak to feed from.

Vee took a deep breath as she reached into her shorts, grabbing Amara’s hand before pulling it to her chest as if it were a treasured possession. “Mmm that was lovely, Amara.”

Although slightly confused, Amara was more than happy to let the moment pass and simply enjoy her time with Vee. She hugged her girlfriend close, kissing her cheek as she did. “Glad you enjoyed yourself, love. I assume it’s time to get up and get ready?”

“Yeah, probably,” Vee said quietly. “A lot to get done today, as usual.”

They kissed one last time, then Vee slid out from under Amara’s wing and the comforter. As Amara needed significantly less time to get ready—her clothes were illusory, after all—she simply lounged in bed as she watched Vee pick through her clothes for today’s outfit. After a few minutes, Vee had a small handful of clothes and left the bedroom to start her morning shower.

As she left, Amara closed her eyes to connect with the hellfire deep inside her. The infernal flames that powered her abilities and gave her the strength to not turn into a feral, soul-sucking monster. Her morning quickie with Vee had certainly helped, but there was no denying the faint pang of hunger that persisted. Her thoughts drifted back to the last week, and with the benefit of hindsight, she pieced together a pattern that she wished she didn’t have to identify. For whatever reason, be it stress, schoolwork, or perhaps a return to normal, her trysts with Vee were slowly providing less and less nourishment for Amara’s succubus body.
