Chapter 25: The Tutor, Misunderstood
The rest of July was uneventful, peaceful and quiet. Sebastian's days were filled with household chores or executing various of his master's orders, preventing the three imbeciles from destroying everythingā¦ and listening to what Selina said or did, since that was the only way he was allowed to feel close to her.
That bitterness and coldness he sensed from her the day Miranda left was still there, still strong. She had suddenly turned too formal towards him, constantly slipping away when he attempted to stand close to her, touch her casually or even kiss her lightly when he felt the need to. Actually, that last part confused and frustrated him mostly, because he was always cautious enough to be just the two of them, when he teasingly cornered her on some wall and leaned in search of her honeyed lips, but stillā¦ She always turned her face away and managed to escape him in an ever so polite and gracious way and avoided crossing eyes with him, unless it had something to do with chores or the young master. Sebastian was always pleased with Selina's professionalism, but now he was bothered, since she used it as an excuse to cover her cold formality towards him personally.
He could not figure out the reason and thus, he was left with listening into Selina's discussions with the other servants or with master, in case she revealed anything. But to his disappointment, the only thing he deduced was that she was determined to hide from everyone what happened between them in St. Ives, by insisting that the small bruises and red spots on her neckline were due to mosquito bites, when asked by a certain nosy chef, a giggling maid and a seemingly indifferent footman along his hissing snakes. Whenever he entered the master's study to bring him some tea, interrupting his studies with Selina, he always saw her fidgeting and shuddering at suddenly hearing his voice. When Sebastian left, young master always asked her if she was all right and if Sebastian had harassed her somehow during the St. Ives' case - as the ever observing boy he was, he could easily detect the differences that occurred in his servants. Selina was always quick to deny even the possibility of Sebastian harming her in any way, her voice was always steady and seemed to satisfy the boy, at least for now, but confused the eavesdropping butler even more.
In short, Selina seemed not to have regretted what happened in the resort but, for some reason, was equally determined not to let anyone find out or allow it continue once they were back in the manor; Sebastian would swear the reason was not her fear of being seen by the others or by master himself, as she claimed. The demon was certain during their trip he had made a progress with her ā the resort's bed was a reliable witness of that ā but now saw they were back to when she thought his advances were a calculation on his part. Miranda had not given him any hint about what was going on in Selina's mind, concerning the new nature of their relationship, but Sebastian was certain it somehow connected to her current behaviour towards him; he was more than surprised to find he really needed to know the answer and the woman's thoughts.

August came along with Queen's letter asking Ciel to go to Germany and investigate some strange deaths, where perfectly healthy people suddenly became deformed and soon expired. Needless to say, the young Earl was not pleased at all by having to travel to another country, without having any further information; therefore, he ordered Sebastian to find Mr. Claus, - a friend of his predecessor - ask him to pay a visit to a certain person in Germany and come back with details on this strange case.
Mr. Claus did not manage to talk with the German person as he was supposed to, because he was brushed off, but the obviously competent middle aged man did a little investigation on his own, and found the area the deaths occurred was literally in the middle of nowhere. There was no hint of a contagious virus or something in the surrounding villages, but when people were asked about the cause of deaths, every last one of them responded it was "The Witch's curse that killed them".
"The witch's curse?" Ciel said as he paused with his fork on its way to his mouth.
A sudden gasp and a clacking heel on the floor drew everyone's attention to the dining room doors, where Selina had just entered holding a tray with the second courseā¦ a tray that was "supposed to be brought by Mey-Rin" Sebastian noted as he relieved the woman from the load.
"Y-yes, Mey-Rin felt a littleā¦ wobbly and I offered to bring it instead." She said watching the clearly displeased, although not surprised look on the butler's face.
"Mein Gott!" An exclamation was heard from their guest. "What a classical, natural beauty!" Claus said as he stood up from the table and headed towards a stunned Selina; he bowed in front of her and gently asked her hand to kiss it.
Selina could not believe what the man was doing, but could also not deny him. Plus, for a man close to his fifty, he was still very charming, with his blond short ponytail, the thin line of beard gently hugging his jaw and smiling mouth and the sky blue, clear eyes sparkling with joy. She blushed slightly and smiled humbly offering him her hand. At the very instant she felt a dark aura surrounding her trying to pull her away from the man.
"Ciel, you never told me you have such a stunning woman in your household! I meanā¦ heavenly food, a beautiful womanā¦ I would visit much more often!" The man chuckled, ignoring the sudden chill running down his spine like a claw.
"And who told you I want to see your face more than it is necessary?" Ciel mumbled. "Anyway, this is Selina Clark, my tutor in Greek philosophy, piano, dancing and sword fighting." He said loudly waving his hand in a bored manner.
That simple introduction seemed to excite Claus even more as he looked at the woman with greater admiration. "My my! Beautiful, cultured and a fighter too. What an honour and pleasure to meet a real Valkyrie. I have travelled everywhere around the world and have met many exotic beautiesā¦ but there is a limit to how much exoticism a man can take. It is always pleasing to the eye to see a fresh, young beauty of a more classical nature."
He asked Selina something in another language that the woman did not understand and could do nothing more than stare at him with a discreet question in her eyes. Thankfully, that moment Ciel saved her, by calling Claus back to their dinner and asking him to continue what he was previously saying. Claus instantly collected himself making obvious how the boy's way of ordering reminded him someone else; he excused himself and went back to his seat.
Selina turned to thank Ciel, but the boy's attention was directed back to Claus and to what he was saying about the victims; the only eyes she met were the almost entirely red ones of the demon, as he was straightening his body from having leaned into his master's ear, whispering something. She felt like these eyes were pinning and then undressing her, ready to devour her completely, leaving her with no choice other than tremble at the thought of what that devouring would entail. She did not know it then, but Sebastian had already found the opportunity he was looking for them toā¦ talk.
However, both their attention was drawn back to the conversation Ciel and Claus had, when the man said all victims had passed through a certain forest called "the werewolves' forest" that the locals considered as a forbidden land.
"Werewolvesā¦ the forest of the wolf men." Sebastian commented deep in thought.
"Indeed." Claus agreed. "Intensive witch hunts occurred in Southern Germany from the 14th to the 17th century. The witches who survived them, escaped and settled in a certain forest, where they released werewolves ā their familiars ā into the wood to protect themselves. Since then, the forest has been called the 'werewolves' forest' and humans who set foot there are said to be cursed by the witches."
"So humans are being killed by a curse? Nonsense!" The young Earl declared in a rather shrewd tone, making Claus burst into laugh and apologise for the poor information he had managed to collect.
As Ciel went on, asking Claus if he knew anything about the person known as Undertaker, Sebastian's eyes were fixed on Selina. The young witch was standing with arms crossed on chest and face set in a very tight and offended look, like the matter about the German witches and the werewolves had insulted her personally. Sebastian could not help but smirk at the view of the angry beautiful woman, who now looked more like a spoiled brat falsely accused of something, and that made him even more certain in executing the plan he already had in mind.
"Yes, my lord." The butler responded as the discussion was coming to an end and his child-master had just ordered him to book tickets for everyone for Germany.

Ciel Phantomhive occupied the west wing of his manor and usually the same went for the few rare guests he received and offered hospitality to; therefore, the east wing was the quietest part of the manor at night. However, Sebastian still included it in his nightly rounds to make sure everything was safe. That night, to Selina's surprise, he asked her to check that part without any further explanation. Of course, the woman did so and was now crossing the silent, dark corridor leading to the farthest room.
She reached the end, looked out of the window and with a movement of her hand checked the protective spells placed on the manor as an extra security measure. Once finished, she turned to leave, but before taking a step, a pair of arms snaked around her, one circling her waist in an iron grip pulling her flushed on a strong chest and the other crossing her chest while a hand sealed her mouth, before even a sound came out of it. She tried to struggle and get away but the arms were determined to not let go, on the contrary, they pulled her inside the last room closing the door behind.
Once her back came in contact with the chest the arms belonged to, a suspicion instantly formed in Selina's mind as it felt quite familiar; a suspicion that soon after was proven right by the deep, silky voice whispering in her ear.
"I finally caught you, my little witch, and I will not let you go until you talk to me." The voice said and the hands immediately retreated from her body and mouth. Selina was ready to push away with great force and due to her momentum ended up making a twirl, as soon as she was released until bumping on a small table.
She then turned and saw a smiling Sebastian standing in all his height in front of the door, blocking the only exit. She glared at him. "Bastard! What are you doing?"
Sebastian took a look of pure innocence. "I do nothing more than what a man would, while trying to find out why my passionate, fiery lover has suddenly turned cold to me, avoiding my eyes, my touch, my kissā¦ and generally being so formal to me that it really gets irritating."
"Irritating? I thought you valued professionalism above all else." Selina responded ironically only to receive a dark look from the demon.
"You were quite professional even without being so cold to me. I do not understand why you must be all so chatty, friendly and casual with everyone else but me, even though you have not regretted what happened in St. Ives. You have not regretted us becoming lovers but you do not want to continue where we left! I have tried time and again to talk to you, but 'coincidentally', you were fast asleep every night I came to your room, leaving me no other choice but this." He finished and his red eyes were glowing in the darkness as he was getting more upset.
Selina was left speechless looking at him with her delicate lips in an O shape and mirth, mixed with fury, shining in her eyes; finally, a short giggle came out of her throat and escalated to laughter.
"Lovers? A demon and a human? Perhaps you wanted to cuddle like ones too?" She asked, clearly imitating Sebastian on their second night in the resort; in a while the laughing subsided as the woman crossed her arms. "Loverā¦ If lying goes indeed against your aesthetics, why not be honest and call me what I really am to you? A source of feeding, a snack to lessen your hunger for souls until the main course is ready?" Her narrowed eyes glared at him.
Sebastian did not even flinch and his face, as usual, did not show any emotion, only his eyes betrayed surprise by opening wide for a moment, before narrowing while looking at the woman. He said nothing and kept staring at her.
"Oh dear, are you surprised that I heard what you and my dear angelic cousin, of all people, were talking about in the middle of the night? I did mask my aura quite well, huh? With a simple spell I fooled both of you." She smiled affectedly.
Sebastian had already recovered from his surprise and now looked even more determined as he pulled off his gloves. "How much did you listen?"
"What difference does it make? I heard enough to know I am just food, which just happens to also give you some sexual pleasure and release; happy to be of service." She mocked and bowed her head. "From the start, I knew you were playing with me, even though you tried so hard to persuade me otherwise, and I must give you credit since you were so convincingā¦ but I never thought I would become a demon's food without even knowing it. Now that I know, I'm not really thrilled to have you munching on me via sex or any other way, it's not in my job description and I'm not a toast, a burger or anything without being my own choice. Becoming your sex and chew toy was not part of the deal!" She yelled the last part and her voice almost ended up in a sob she managed to stifle by taking deep breaths to calm down.
"I believe I got nourishment from your aura through our sexual activities only two or maybe three times, if you count the one I was wounded by the ghosts, not more. And I assure you it was a great surprise for me too. Acquiring the necessary energy to partly satisfy my hunger through a still living personā¦ never heard it happening again. That could change many things."
"I guess selling me to other demons unwilling to belittle themselves, as you have done serving a teenage brat, is the change you dream of." Her eyes were sparkling with fury and something else Sebastian could not put his finger on. "If that is your big plan for me after completing your contractā¦ then I will make sure one of us will end up dead for good. Now, since I am still a valuable pawn for your master's chess, move away from the door and let me go." She dashed to the door attempting to push away the demon.
Of course, she failed and instantly found herself once again trapped in the burning strong embrace of the demon, who caught her and with inhuman speed had already pushed her back against the door, incapacitating her with his own body. He quickly took off his tie, used it to bind Selina's wrists together - in case she decided to put her flames in use - and then made a third knot on a hook at the back of the door. Selina's features were pulled in a snarl while she demanded her release with a voice that again sounded like a broken sob.
"Well then... since you heard me talking to Miranda..." The demon's cold voice said, right before his hand cupped the woman's jaw, forcing her to look at him. "You must have heard how I intend to continue pursuing our intimate moments, regardless of how full of your essence my stomach is, solely for the pleasure we both gain from them, right? Then... you must understand how you make a fire burning within me, burning my loins and melting my bones from desire for your touch."
Selina's wide eyes gave the demon the obvious answer that she indeed did not listen the entire conversation of his with the angel; also her surprise upon hearing words she never thought she would, leaving the demon's mouth, was more than evident. However, her pride forced her to try and cover it with anger.
"No, I am sorry for being too busy being shocked that I am gourmet demon food and that a demon was discussing it with an angel behind my back!" Her voice was laced with annoyance and...? Again, Sebastian could not be sure what it was, as her wrath was covering everything else.
"Pardon me, but all the centuries of my life have taught me that the only true usefulness angels have is that they are the world's best librarians with knowledge about anything you can imagine. So, it was only natural to turn to Miranda for the job... especially since our interests coincided." He said meaningfully with a sharp smile. "However, if it happens that you have any idea why all this is happening, I would much appreciate if you share that knowledge with me, as it has been a situation really annoying to me." His voice was dripping with irony.
Selina's features changed, surprise, bewilderment and anger gave place to a deep pain hearing the demon's admission of how bothered he was by everything. "I-I have no... idea why this is happening... Pl-pleaseā¦ let me go, before it's too late. For onceā¦ show some mercy. I am nothing more than food to you; don't make it harder." Selina pleaded to the demon with a small voice, but immediately realised it was in vain.
His red wine eyes became deeper, darker and heavier with strong, demanding lust. Against her own logic, her heart started beating fast and her body quivered like the demon's gaze caressed her most sensitive parts.
"And I have no clue what exactly you are to me, but I am certain that source of feedingā¦ is not the only or main thing. I hunger for you, your body, your taste, your scentā¦ I lust for the touch of your hands and skin on my body, your hotness, the drunk look in your eyes and your hoarse cries of my name when I am inside you pushing you to the edge, when you climax trembling in my arms."
While talking, his other hand had already busied itself with running up and down the said body, igniting new raging fires wherever they touched and unfastening the suddenly frustratingly complex Victorian clothes.
"I am fully aware how out of my character sound all theseā¦ but there is nothing I can do. I am not willing to hold back any longer, not even one more night. I know that you want me too; thereforeā¦ I will have you whatever that means or wherever it leads to." He said leaning closer and closer to Selina.
Unconsciously, she had parted her lips, while her eyes were darting from his eyes to his lips and impatience seemed to be taking hold of her; Sebastian smirked seeing that and lost every control once a deep sigh escaped the woman's throat. In an instant, he released her jaw and his lips were on hers. They started devouring each other's mouth, leaving guttural hungry moans and groans sounding like two wild animals.
Obviously, the two weeks abstinence Selina had enforced, had taken its toll to both demon and witch and now that the last restrain had fallen apart, nothing could stop them from letting being consumed by each other. When Sebastian allowed her to take a much needed breath, his mouth went down to her body, tracing with lips, teeth and tongue the well known shapes, curves and corners of her luscious skin while tearing apart any remaining clothe. Selina lost all contact to the surrounding world when she felt his kisses settling between her legs, her knees instantly buckled and ended up being kept upright only by the tie around her wrists, and the demon's hands supporting her rear since her legs were already thrown over his shoulders.
Soon a desperate need to touch him took her over; with only two hard pulls the knot on the door's hook was untied, and not caring about the rest of the bind on her wrists, plunged her fingers in the raven silky mass of hair on his head. Sebastian, without ever stopping lapping at her bodily juices, got up and almost flew to the bed taking the now almost purring woman with him. He laid her on the soft mattress right on time, as she reached her much needed release that made her collapse breathless on the pillows.
Sebastian's eyes flashed red and satisfied, although still hungry, at the sight of the flushed, sweaty and gasping woman. "I do not know if this way will be enough to convince you about the truth of my words, but I am willing to try as many times as you need." He said licking his lips and began removing his tailcoat.
"Noā¦ touch youā¦ let me!" Selina pleaded stretching her hands to him and struggling to sit up; her body shaking from the pleasure she had just experienced, but also from the still hot desire gnawing her insides.
Sebastian smiled satisfied at the almost delirious state the woman was in, a sudden wave of lust surged through him making his manhood even harder. With a swift move he removed his tie around her wrists giving her the necessary freedom. Selina instantly grabbed his tailcoat, violently pulled it down and then flung it away; the same fate was in store for his vest and shirtā¦ only that they lost most of their buttons as her hands just pulled them open. As soon as his white skin was revealed and gleamed under the rich moonlight coming through the window, Selina's mouth started feasting on it, making Sebastian growl and throw his head back with closed eyes, trying to catch the breath he lost due to the furious sensual assault from Selina's lips. Thankfully, her hands soon released him from the tight confines of his trousers and once the ruined garment was kicked away, along with shoes and socks, he impatiently pushed her back crawling on top of her.
He paused for a moment seeming like he wanted to say something, but thought again, since the demanding sparkle in Selina's eyes and her hands on his hips pulling him towards her centre, were enough proof that whatever he said at the moment would not be heard by the woman. Therefore, he more than happily gave in and with a single thrust sheathed himself in her. Cries of absolute rapture escaped their throats as they paused relishing at the feeling of their joined bodies.
"S-Se-Sebastianā¦ please!" Selina whimpered as her hands took hold of his tight backside and opened her legs even wider for him. Sebastian enjoyed the image the woman presented for a second, and then surrendered to the passionate whirlwind lurking, waiting to grasp both of them in its coils.
Every time Sebastian and Selina made love was an extremely passionate experience they both enjoyed to the utmost; but this time was something more. It was wild! They had completely forgotten where they were, or maybe even what they were, as they took each other fiercely and desperately, scratching and biting each other; whatever words they tried to exchange, ended up being drunk by each other's kisses along with their lustful cries of ecstasy.
After a while the only words both demon and witch could articulate were each other's name and orders for "more, harder, faster" as their bodies were like glued, grinding hard into each other; whether Selina was enclosing Sebastian with her legs, pulling him deeper inside her, or Sebastian's hands on her hips driving her more onto him while she was hugging him tightly, as if her life depended from that. Their hearts were beating crazily, one right on top of the other as Sebastian's chest was leaning on Selina's back the same time she was finding out how erotic the linen bed sheet felt rubbing her already oversensitive breasts, every time Sebastian thrust while kneeled behind her.
{~}
It was a little after ten thirty when those hands, masters of seduction, just like their owner, pulled Selina in the dark room, and now it was almost a quarter after midnight that man and woman had finally exhausted themselves, to the point of both not being able to move a muscle for a while, or could not stop trembling still living in the fresh memory of the great pleasure they experienced multiple times. They were lying side by side on the sheet, not so clean any more, their heads sharing the only pillow left on the bed and their chests still heaving for breath, as beads of sweat were rolling down their worn out but absolutely satiated bodies.
"That wasā¦ intense, I must say!" Selina's hoarse voice said.
A chuckle came from Sebastian. "Just intense? That was rough, almost violent even for my standards towards a human. At some points I thought I would break youā¦ I hope I did not."
A delicate finger came up his chin and made him turn his head to look at Selina, instead of the bed's canopy both were staring for some time now.
"First of all, do I look broken or otherwise hurt to you?" Sebastian's eyes scanned the woman's body lying beside his, still radiating so much heatā¦ He shook his head. "Good. That means we did nothing out of my limits, nothing I might consider violent, uncomfortably painful or sick, perverted and that kind of stuff."
"We were like horny wild animals every time, andā¦ it is absolutely fine to me but you are still a human." He raised a brow looking teasingly at her.
Furrowed brows and a scowl on the cute ā as he had decided it was for him ā female face were the sight that made him burst in a pure laughter; in a second the same finger as before started poking his shaking from laughter chest.
"I may be human, but I am a tough one, mister demon. You have no idea what this body has gone through and it is still here, still strong."
With a sudden movement he grasped the hand and brought the poking finger to his lips as his other hand, with fingers still intertwined to hers, caressed the white scar across her lower belly; the only spot she was always hesitant to let him touch or kiss. Even now a shadow of past pain clouded her blue eyes.
"You are right. I do notā¦ although I am finding I would like to learn at some point." He said as he placed a light kiss at the previously teasing finger, then a light bite that he licked immediately after, just like a proper cat.
All the while, his red eyes never left Selina's and to the woman's surprise, something resembling an affectionate lover's care could be seen in these flaming pools. She found she had nothing to respond, and was surprised to admit she too would not mind telling Sebastian the whole story of her life, either way she had already shared so many things with him.
"You knowā¦" Sebastian took a deep breath. "There is something I did not say to Miranda, something I would only say to you. I have already told you that I like your greyness and do not want it changed." She nodded. "But on our last day in St. Ives, I realised why I like this greynessā¦ I do because it makes you the perfect human."
Selina opened her eyes wide and looked at him confused; Sebastian really struggled with himself to resist her big eyes or red lips parted in surprise. "Iā¦ do not understand." She whispered.
"When a human soul is born in this world it is tabula rasa, a blank paper ready to be filled either with good or evil, it has the potential for both; therefore it is considered grey. However, it is quite weak right from the start and perfect for us demons to corruptā¦ and for angels to save, of course." A trace of irony evident in his voice. "Humans live with the illusion of being strong enough to control their lives and their free will, but in reality the truly strong souls able to do all these are so fewā¦ they are the ones that remain grey forever, that choose to fill their soul's 'blank paper' with both good and evil. By choice they constantly waver between the two extremes and thus achieve the perfect balance."
"Soā¦ you're saying that I am a perfect human because of my greyness?" The demon nodded smiling. "Wellā¦ yes butā¦ it's just because my magic is grey-"
"Which is part of your soul, making you who you are; either way magic is grey by default, is it not?" It was Selina's turn to nod. "Do you have any idea how difficult is for both demons and angels to influence grey souls, and even more when these souls have magic in them? Unless the grey soul chooses one path on its own it is almost untouchable for both sides."
Selina remained silent for a while thinking. "Well... You may say that only grey souls have really control of their lives and free will, but I know that humans on their own can be greater monsters capable of greater evil than demons."
"Perhaps, but I also know they can become like this even with just a little nudge from us, even if it is unbeknown to them."
Selina suddenly propped herself up leaning on her elbow. "Just a second. You're telling me the drug dealer that murdered Miranda, or the schizophrenics that did this wound to me, without even knowing me, were evil because at some point were 'nudged' by a demon and not by choice? I checked them; they never had any affiliation with demons. And what about all these lunatics abusing or killing innocent people and above all young, truly innocent children, for no reason whatsoever but clearly to satisfy their twisted desires and passions?" Her eyes were the furious blue fires Sebastian always enjoyed seeing in them.
He chuckled. "And that is why I like your greyness; you never lose sight of both shores, even though you swim in the deepest waters. You can murder in cold blood people that hurt you, your loved ones or even wronged innocent strangers but you can also be tender to the ones that need it and you mean it. You act both as a hero and as a villain - according to human's morale that is - and both times you are true to yourself, never pretendā¦ you are perfect." He whispered on her lips as he slowly brought his face closer and then tenderly caught her lips in a kiss that could be considered loving.
After a while, Selina lowered her head and shyly cast her eyes down. "There is no reason for you toā¦ speak like that. I meanā¦ I have no way of proving whether what you have told me tonightā¦ That youā¦ lust for me and that I am not just food, is indeed true; nevertheless, I gave in to you, soā¦ I either accept it or not, you do not have to play nice to me. All these about my greyness do not make really sense as a reason toā¦ want me. Normally, you should like my murderous darkness and hate my loving light." She suddenly became quite bashful; she played with his fingers not knowing what to do with her hands.
"I do like your murderous darkness, I find it difficult to resist when your eyes burn with the fire of hate and fury that can easily harm the one causing itā¦ but I also like your caring and loving light, because it spices things up between us, two so different creatures; for instance, it is fun seeing you smiling with the servants. I do not understand what you see in them or why you love Miranda or worry over my master, but these feelings make you happy and smiley. I rather prefer it when you direct all these to me, but I can accept them tooā¦ but only them." His eyes suddenly turned darker although a teasing gleam was still evident in their black depths. "Not Claus or any other puny human trying to be charming by throwing random catchphrases in foreign languages. I can do that too!"
He started speaking some language that sounded German to Selina as he turned, hugged her and started kissing or lightly nibbling her skin. Selina had taken a really amused expression and now was laughing; half due to Sebastian's teasing lips on her skin and half due to his obvious jealousy over the middle aged man.
"You can't be serious." She managed to say in between giggles. "You got jealous over Claus? That's why you were whispering to master's ear? To make him call Claus back to order? That is hilarious. And what are you mumbling there? Is that German?"
Sebastian lifted his head from her bellybutton and looked at her surprised. "You ask? You meanā¦ you cannot tell for sure? You do not know German?" He sighed taking the teacher's look as he saw Selina shaking her head. "Tomorrow at ten o'clock sharp in master's study I will teach German to both of you. We have less than a week to make you experts."
Selina's objections were drowned by the demon's smiling lips. They remained embraced like that for a while, lazily exploring each other's mouth and savouring the mixture of hot honey melting in an equally hot red wine, but when Selina opened her legs and moved her hips in a way that her centre brushed invitingly Sebastian's tip, the male demon had to gently push away her hips while leaving a deep groan, already regretting he had to deny her.
"My Selina, as much as I would like to continue our highly pleasing activities, I must deny you, since I need to clean you up, take care of the bites I caused you and then get you to sleep and rest." He said managing to slip from her rather strong embrace and tried hard to ignore the catlike whimsical games her body purposely did while lying on the sheets. "Also, I think you already might not be able to walk properly for a couple of days, my kitten." He finished with an arrogant smirk.
Selina's eyes opened wide. "How did you call me? Hey! Where are you going, butt naked walking casually in the house? What if someone sees you?" She asked, instantly forgetting her embarrassment at the new nickname he just gave her, watching the demon heading towards the door.
"Oh. Are you worried that someone specific might see me or that what have we been doing will be revealed?" He glanced at her with a raised brow and a side smile.
Selina thought for a while and then furrowed her brows once again and tried to assume an indifferent look. "Well, I know that if Mey-Rin sees you like that, we will lose her permanently, as for the rest of themā¦ I never liked to make a public issue of what I do in my bed or with whom I do it."
Sebastian chuckled. "Have no worries, no one will see or hear anything; we are in the empty east wing after all. I will not be long." He winked at her and exited the room.
True to his words, after a few minutes he came back, swiftly took her in his arms and went to the guests' bathroom right across the room. He had already prepared a shower for both of them and was very thorough in getting Selina cleaned up, using soothing oils to help her strained muscles relaxā¦ However, he was surprised to find the oils had the exact opposite effect on Selina's sex, as he watched the woman writhing in ecstasy under his expert fingers. The impression he had once before, of Selina as a very erotic succubus, came to him again; soon he found himself pushing the trembling, wanting woman on the shower wall, wrapping her legs around his waist and taking her again, much gentler this time.
When they finally managed to finish their shower, Sebastian dried himself quickly and left Selina do the same in her own pace; he left the bathroom for a while and when he came back, kneeled in front of the seated Selina and opened the vase with the healing salve she used on him.
"You might have made that especially for me, but I believe our auras to be so mixed right now it will do the trick to you too." He commented as he was applying the salve generously on the bite wounds on her arms and thighs. "I have to control these biting urges I get when I am with you." He seemed really troubled.
Selina laughed lightly. "You plan on repeating this night soon?"
He looked at her utterly shocked. "I have no more willpower to endure two weeks without even a touch. I actually refuse to endure such a torment, full stop. So you better get it right and once and for all in your stubborn mind that regardless of everything else, I do desire you and you bring outā¦ affections I did not know I could foster for a human. And of course there is no chance of selling you to other hungry or horny demons; I do not like to share and I want you all to myself!"
Selina was looking straight in his eyes and could clearly see the truth in them, as well as what he left unsaid; that physical expression of these affections was the only thing he could give her, unable to really feel like humans did. The woman smiled sweetly and happily at him, while her finger traced lightly the almost healed scar on his pectoral; one of the many she made on his skin in the moments of passion.
"Then I should restrain myself too, not scratching you so much... even if you heal in matter of minutes!" She said with a concerned look.
"Oh no, please do not stop!" The demon said staring at her with the look of a true masochist, finding pleasure in pain, but also of the man who wanted his lover to freely express her passionate self no matter what.
Selina's heart started beating loudly as he surprised her once again, and with a sudden movement hugged and kissed him so passionately that the demon was at a loss when he felt weak at his knees; thankfully he was already kneeled.
When they got back to the room, the bed was made again with fresh sheets and invited the obviously sleepy Selina in its soft embrace. Sebastian had dressed her in a summer nightgown he found in her room and had already brought clothes for both of them for the next day, since the ones they were previously wearing were useless lying in a heap on the floor. They lied in bed and pulled the covers up. Sebastian wrapped his arms around the woman and pulled her in his embrace leaving a blissful sigh.
Of course, that startled Selina. "What are you doing?" She asked.
"I cuddle with my lover, as I believe it is the normal thing to do." He looked at her and had to bite the inside of his cheek to not laugh with her wide eyed surprise.
"First, you claim the two weeks of not having sex with me were a torment to you; then, you confirm it by doing it I don't know how many times trulyā¦ truly passionately; then, you say all these things about why you like me and my greyness, you gently take care of me in the bathroom and now you want to cuddle?" She suspiciously arched a brow. "Who are you and what have you done to the real Sebastian, the sadistic demon we all know?"
Sebastian could not hold it any more and burst out laughing while hugging her closer. "Do not worry, my little masochistic witch, he is right here as always, but as a proper witch would do, you managed to tame the beast, at least for when being with you. It seems you have the power to weave a strong net to catch this demon with your eyes and smileā¦ and your lips too. Plus, I adore cuddling with my kitties."
He finished and cut off her objections with light seductive kisses on her lips, which he obviously enjoyed and stopped only when her eyes finally closed in a deep, much needed sleep, as she settled in his arms with her head on his chest hearing the low rhythmic beating of his heart. She left a happy satiated sigh after mumbling something about real witches not having familiars and that master should know that. Sebastian promised he would tell the boy and only then did she actually allow herself to sleep.
It was still early even for the demon to start his chores, and since he had made sure he had taken care of everything, allowed himself the luxury of slumbering for a while holding his woman ā as he decided that Selina was to him ā in his arms.
{~}
Ten minutes after ten in the morning and Sebastian had started to twitch impatiently as he and his yawning master, obviously bored, were still waiting for Selina in the study.
"Young master, please forgive me. I am going to bring her right away and start our lesson." He bowed and exited the room.
"Just be done with it. You are the one insisting we need to be experts in German." The boy said fed up by the 'professor Michaelis' play the demon was performing once again.
Sebastian quickly headed for the kitchen, where he could sense Selina still lingering, even if she must have finished breakfast an hour ago. Since he had worn her out the previous night, he allowed her to wake up later than usual, and justified it to the servants as that he could hear her all night battling with annoying mosquitoes; but she had more than enough time to rest and be on time for class.
"Sebastian was right, you spent the night killing mosquitoes, look at these new bruises on your neck." The demon heard Mey-Rin commenting.
"Eh? Yes, I always had an issue with mosquitoes; they always liked to bite me and they left that kind of marks." The woman said with a lying voice.
"Hmmā¦ sure. If they are also dressed in black tailcoatā¦ they must be very fierce." Bard said while Mey-Rin and Snake chuckled and innocent Finny stated that mosquitoes did not wear clothes.
Before Selina could answer, Sebastian smacked a hand on the doorframe. "Miss Clark, do you not think you are rather late for your German class?"
Selina turned to him and was left speechless by how strict and professorial he looked with his glasses on and hair tucked behind his earā¦ he also looked really sexy to her eyes but she kept that for another time.
"Wha-? Wait, you were serious yesterday?" She said utterly surprised.
"When have I not been serious?" He asked obviously irritated.
"Then everyone must take lessons in German since everyone will come."
"It is absolutely normal for mere servants to not know foreign languages but not for a tutor, much less for the Phantomhive tutor. I, as the Phantomhive butler, will not allow something like that shadow our lord's reputation." He said as he grabbed the woman's wrist and started pulling her behind him leaving the kitchen, where the three servants continued giggling.
"You really are a sadistic bully when you want to!" She said as she managed to match the tall man's stride and now walked beside him.
"You were the one wondering where the sadistic demon was last night." He answered looking at her through long lashes, smirking lightly and still holding her wrist firmly even though there was no reason any more.
Selina preferred not to answer, not being sure if her voice would be stable after seeing that look and smirk; therefore she chose to button up the neck of her shirt as they entered the study, since new questions, about the bruises, coming from the young Earl was the last thing she needed right now.
Phew, thank goodness! Crisis resolved... But how do you think Selina feels about literaly feeding Sebastian with her aura? One moment she was against it and next moment she was making passionate love with Sebastian. I admit, sometimes she confuses even me, her creatorš!
That's all for this week! Till next time! Bye!
