CHAPTER 3

Death is as Unfair as Life

AN: Contains graphic scenes of non-consentual sex.

Levi wandered the desolate rocky plains of the underworld in utter despair. He eventually fell to his knees in the middle of the barren nothingness, tears running down his face and began talking to . . . well, he wasn't entirely sure who. "I don't understand! How can a monster like the man who raised me be worthy of a second chance while I am not? Why am I not allowed a second chance? What have I done that was so wrong that I must spend all of eternity suffering for it? I just don't understand! IT'S NOT FAIR!"

"Did you really think that death would be any more fair than life?" a sultry voice asked.

Levi jumped to his feet as he spun around, taking up a defensive position, his hand on his sword and his wings raised. His heart skipped a beat when he saw who the voice belonged to. "Ran Mau," he said in disbelief.

"My reputation precedes me," she said as she approached him and placed a hand on the side of his face. "You have me at a disadvantage."

He instantly recoiled from her touch. He hated being touched. Touch always meant pain. "What do you want, Ran Mau?" he bit off testily.

She laughed with an unsettling gleam in her red eyes. Ran Mau had been born a demon. She had never been human. Her eyes were a vibrant dark red with slit pupils and surrounded by long, voluminous eyelashes (a human-born demon, such a himself, had round pupils, while a demon-born had slits). Her jet black hair was straight and long. Her lips were full and red. By any standards, she would be considered beautiful, but Levi could only see the hideousness of her blackened heart and soul. "I'm just trying to be friendly," she chuckled with a playful pout on her lips. "You've only been a demon for a couple of decades, but I hardly see you here in the underworld. I'm accustomed to greeting the newcomers personally within a few days of their arrival. So what's your name?"

Levi had all he could do to suppress the growl forming in his throat as she walked around him, sizing him up. "Levi. Now what do you want?"

She laughed again. "My, my! Aren't you the abrasive one, Levi!"

"I'm a demon, aren't I? I don't think 'friendly' is in the job description."

Ran Mau laughed even harder. "I like you! You're funny! Can't say as I've ever met an honest demon before. 'Honesty' isn't exactly in the job description either. Are you sure you really know who I am?"

"Ran Mau. Second only to the Demon King himself."

"Most demons go out of their way to be on my good side, or out of their way to avoid me out of fear," She explained, continuing to circle the smaller male. "They go to great lengths to suck up to me because they know I am a powerful ally to have and a devastating enemy."

"You're point being?"

She chuckled again. "I'm guessing you don't suck up to anybody."

"No."

"Not even for pure carnal ecstasy?" She suddenly stopped behind him, wrapped her slender arms around him and with one hand, began stroking his crotch.

Levi forced his wings open and tore himself from her grasp, spun to face her, regaining his defensive posture. "WHAT THE FUCK!? I don't give a flying fuck what your rank in the Underworld is! NOBODY touches me without my permission!"

"Oooh. Don't tell me you're gay. I haven't met a demon of any sex yet that could resist my charms," She taunted.

This time, Levi failed to suppress the growl. His silver eyes burned with rage. "I find nothing charming about you . . . or any demon for that matter. In fact, the whole concept of 'carnal ecstasy', as you call it, is completely repulsive to me, regardless of gender. If you have so many demons lusting after you, then there's no need for you to sidle up to me!"

Her smile vanished and the laughter stopped abruptly. "Remember what I said about me being a devastating enemy? It would behoove you to rethink your options. The Underworld is no place for lone wolves. We devour them here. Besides, if you don't change your mind soon, my powers make it easy for me to force you."

Levi snarled again as he turned and walked away. "Then that is what you'll have to do, because I will never willingly submit to another."

Ran Mau raised an elegant eyebrow. "Oh really?"

Levi suddenly stopped in his tracks as if grabbed by a giant hand. He clutched his chest, gasping for air. He felt so hot, even in this cold, desolate place. He fell to his knees, shaking, unable to comprehend what was happening to his body.

Ran Mau again was laughing. "You see, Levi, one of my many powers is the ability to make any living thing aroused and lustful. That means I can make any demon have sexual need of me." She knelt down in front of her victim, placing two fingers under his chin to turn his face to look at her. "And only I can relieve that need. But only when I feel like it. Your presumptuous statement is going to cost you dearly. I'm not going to relieve your need until you are begging me to. And with each passing moment, that need is going to increase until all you can think about is begging me for relief. It will all depend on my mood at the time as to whether or not I help you."

"I will never give you the satisfaction!" Levi snarled angrily. "I'd rather die!"

"Oh, but demons can't die. You know that. And my power will prevent you from leaving the Underworld until you give in to me."

"NEVER!"

"You will, Levi. You will. They all do!" Ran Mau chuckled as she vanished.


She hadn't been kidding when she'd said it would get worse. He had been fucked with alarming frequency when he was alive, but sadly, had never felt sexual pleasure or even been aroused. Now he found himself in the unfamiliar, and unenviable state of constant and painful arousal. He had watched men relieve their own arousals, so he decided he'd better try that.

Masturbating only made his problem worse. I thought this was suppose to relieve the problem! Shit! Is it really possible that only Ran Mau can alleviate this? He continued to feel hotter as the days passed, and he was soon unable to eat or sleep. Who the fuck makes a demon that needs to eat and sleep, never mind fuck? As near as he could figure, a demon's body was physically identical to a human's but for the claws, fangs and wings. He noted that a demon's body could heal much faster than a human's. What would take a human weeks to recover from, a demon could recover from within a day or two, if not hours.

But this – this wasn't going away. He felt like a human with a terminal case of the flu. He refused to bend. He refused to give Ran Mau the satisfaction. He held out for almost a month before the lack of food and sleep combined with his continuously aroused state began to breakdown his mind. He'd reached a point where he could no longer even think other than to somehow relieve the terrible need that was consuming him.

Levi lost all thought other than his need and who could alleviate it. He sought out Ran Mau. He wasn't at all sure how he got there, but he found himself in a room of red. Lounging on the pillows against one wall was Ran Mau, surrounded by several other demons catering to her every whim.

"Well, well. Levi. How nice of you to come visit me!" the she-demon taunted. "You don't look well at all! In fact you look quite miserable. Tell me, is there anything I can do to help?"

Turn around and walk away, Levi! Don't give this bitch the satisfaction! But his body did not listen to his mind. He fell to his knees in front of where she reclined. "Please. . ." he said weakly, his eyes gazing unfocused at the floor.

"Please what, dear?"

"Please . . . I need you . . ." Levi pleaded pathetically.

"Ohhhh," she responded with a mock pout. "But you said you'd never need me."

Just shut up now and walk away! "I . . . I was wrong. Please."

Ran Mau smiled wickedly. "I think not. I don't think you've truly learned your lesson, yet."

Levi whimpered involuntarily. "please . . ." he whispered.

She stood over him and placed her hand on the side of his face. "Oh, darling. I could listen to those delicious pleas for days. Quite frankly, I'm impressed that you lasted so long. Everyone else I've used my power on succumbed within hours." He leaned into her touch and whimpered again when she quickly withdrew it.

She left him there, trapped in her private room to suffer. She delighted in his pleading every time she returned. She relished every moment he spent reaching out for her as he lay helpless and eventually naked on her floor while occasionally stroking himself in a vain attempt to relieve his desperate need. She reveled in the hot, writhing mess she had reduced him to.

Finally, even his thoughts of resistance were eroded to non-existence. "Please, Ran Mau. Please . . . let me fuck you . . . l need . . . I need to be inside you. Please."

Ran Mau smirked. "Very well. But you're going to have to do it my way, or I'll leave you to suffer some more."

Levi nodded pathetically. "Yes . . . yes . . . I'll do anything you say. . . just . . . please."

Her red dress slipped to the floor as she approached him. Whether or not she was a beautiful woman (and she was very beautiful) was a moot point to Levi as he stared at her with nothing but wanton need. He did nothing to stop her as she laid him back on the floor and ordered him not to move or she would stop.

His mind could focus on nothing but the overwhelming need for release. No thoughts, no emotions, no pleasure; just need. He let out a moan as she settled onto his painful erection. She held him down by the wrists as she rode him, pleasuring herself on him. She cruelly used her power to disable his ability to release. Over the next several hours – or was it days – she pleasured herself with him, occasionally getting off and ordering him to lay still while she took a break and reveled in the pathetic whimpers he gave in response.

It wasn't until she began to get bored, and it became increasingly difficult reach her own orgasm, that she finally allowed him to release. With an unrestrained cry of relief, he finally released his need into her body.

Levi would have preferred to not remember what had happened. He knew that there had been several other demons present, watching as Ran Mau shamelessly pleasured herself on him. He still couldn't figure why sex was so pleasurable. By the time he finally released, his painful need was so great it felt no better than taking a piss to relieve and overfilled bladder. Days later he still felt sick to his stomach. If I never have sex again, it will be too soon! Time to make myself scarce and stay in the human world.
