Comment: Kudos to Minkajane for her wonderfully inspiring "Seduction". This is a short ficlet on the same idea. Only… darker.
'All I wish is for you to seat and talk with me' the sultry voice sent a shiver down Lily's spine.
'You want more from me than just that' she replied in an accusing tone.
The demon raised an eyebrow and smiled. His silent answer was most eloquent. Knowing Lily knew of his wishes filled him with an evil glee. He took a confident step towards her, enjoying her distress as she recoiled.
'What is it… that you really want?' the princess stammered.
The demon laughed, amused at her feigned ignorance.
'All I want is buried deep within you. Go to your heart, and you'll find me there your equal. Your sin has made you one with me'.
'No!' Lily cried in denial.
'I am your heart's desire, Lady' sentenced the Lord of Darkness. He then pointed at her with his crooked finger and added: 'And you know it'.
Lily fell to the ground crying. The black gown pooled around her in waves of silk, and the flames from the fireplace reached to lick at the lace. The demon loomed towards her trembling figure, and his shadow extinguished the angry flames.
'Why is it so hard to believe? That a princess should harbour such lust for power in so white a heart?'
Lily raised her head and tried to answer, but all words had curdled in her throat. The idea of the beast seeing through her soul's secrets frightened her more than being aware of them.
The Lord of Darkness watched her bury her face in her hands and sob. She looked like a lost dandelion on a late summer hill. A word would suffice to blow her innocence away. He carefully knelt by her side, smelling her fear and desire.
'I can quench your searing thirst' Lily felt the velvet purr in her ear and quivered. 'I can make the fever freeze in your veins. I can set you free… for all eternity'. His lips brushed the tender skin of her jaw, and Lily held her breath. It was only for a second, but the warmth was spreading like fire. In the dark whirl of anguish that threatened to engulf her soul, his touch was the only candle to light her path.
'My fair flower…' he trailed off while his long pointed nail caressed her cheek. To her shock, Lily found she enjoyed that touch. His nail was black and sharp, but surprisingly soft to her flesh. Lily half closed her eyes and sighed. Encouraged by her response, the demon brushed his thumb over her eyelids, drying the moist eyelashes. The princess gasped soundlessly at the exquisite caress, and grasped the silk of the gown in a clenched fist. The demon's nostrils flared in anticipation, and he quickly ran his red finger down her chin and neck. When he moved down her collarbone, her eyes snapped open.
'No…' she panted in fear and backed away from his touch.
The demon chuckled knowingly, and offered his cupped hand instead. Lily eyed it suspiciously, but couldn't resist its lure for much longer. She rested her head there and rubbed her cheek against his heated skin, basking in the raw power that emanated from it. Lost in the sensation, Lily parted her lips and kissed his palm. The Lord of Darkness threw his head back, and a hoarse moan built up in his chest. Immortality would be a most fitting gift for her loving bride tonight. Lily heard a distant rumble closing in on her, and suddenly the touch of the hand disappeared. She went after it mouthing with half-closed eyes but instead she found a red muscular chest leaning over her. The demon laid his hands flat on each side of her body and wedged a knee between her legs.
Lily gaped in horror at him, but the demon curled his lips in a wicked smile and said:
'Fear not, my Lady'.
And when his mouth finally closed over hers, Lily knew she was lost forever.
