Chapter 203 - Pandora's Egg

The princess closed her eyes, turning her face away, but Alexa felt Volos use his hand to grab her chin and turn her face around again. It was so bony that she could feel the joints under the skin.

She had no option but to endure it and pray that he would let her out alive.

"You really are a little mouse, aren't you?"

Alexa shook her head.

"Oh ... You are really beautiful ... You look like a little star, I am not surprised about his interest... If I still had such appetites..."

Alexa couldn't avoid the involuntary reflex in reaction to those words, and she shrank and flinched, but he squeezed her face even more.

"You prefer someone younger and more handsome, right? I can't blame you..."

He let go of her face and turned, heading towards one of the niches. Alexa thought about running away, but controlled herself, knowing that a being who had opened the door so easily could kill her with a snap of fingers.

He certainly had a very fragile body, but it was because his bewitched heart was elsewhere. Volos did not fear death, because eventually the magical force that kept him alive would regenerate him, even if he was burned and scattered in the wind.

That was what Letitia longed for, the power to be an immortal witch. Perhaps no one imagined this was what a lich looked like, in the end.

Volos came back to her, and tilted his head to the side as he fiddled with a small chest. The malicious stare of the lich made Alexa worried.

So at last he took something from there, which was the shape and size of a quail egg, but it was all black.

"I should have done this with Emmeline, but even someone like me must learn from their mistakes..."

"Mistakes?" she dared to ask, much more to buy time to understand what he wanted to do and try to react accordingly, than by a genuine attempt to start a conversation.

He stared at her in silence, and just shook his head, reaching for Alexa, who was still sitting on the bench.

"He liked you, you know, didn't you? You would be just a delightful memory for Emmeline by that time, but that cold-hearted Greek liked you…"

Why did she have a terrible feeling when she heard these comments coming from that undead wizard's mouth? He seemed so agitated just by talking about Iacintho! She could suspect that, although he had no 'carnal appetites', basically because he had almost no flesh. Perhaps Volos was obsessed for her brother, who was so brilliant and capable, in the intellectual field!

That would at least explain not only that he turned Iacintho into an upir, but also pampering him pathetically while forcing him to stay close to him. Ugh!

"Did you like him?" Volos asked.

Alexa blinked, shocked. She definitely didn't want to think of her older brother 'that way'.

The lich's gaze went cold, and Alexa nodded vehemently, knowing it would keep her alive.

"Do you want to leave this room, to be the bride of that handsome and manly Greek man, to satisfy him and keep him happy? Or do you want me to keep your hair as a souvenir, and use your blood to feed Emmeline, for having entered my sanctum without permission?" he offered coldly.

"BRIDE!" Alexa almost yelled, grabbing the edge of the table with one hand.

"Not bad. Not bad. Open your mouth," Volos said, and his fingers pinched the black egg raising towards Alexa's mouth.

Her heart began to beat so hard that she felt a pain in her chest. 'What is it?! What does he want to do with this ?! '

"OPEN. YOUR. MOUTH." his voice reverberated so coldly that she knew that if she didn't obey, he would not ask for a third time.

Alexa opened her mouth, and he forced the small egg to her throat.

°°°

Iacintho knotted the sheets that tied Alexa to the canopy post of his bed. Alexa was embarrassed but couldn't help it,

"Ahh! Please let me go!"

"No! What he gave you is Pandora's Egg, so I can't let you go."

"This heat! Iacinthooo!"

The upir covered his sister's mouth, frowning. He couldn't blush, but it was clear that he was as embarrassed as she was. Searching a chest, he found a handkerchief, which he prepared to use as a gag. Alexa squirmed, trying to get loose in all ways. That was unbearable!

"Please, Lex, let me cover your mouth!"

Knowing that she would regret it later for not allowing it, she nodded, though just the touch of silk on her skin caused further sensual shivers.

"I'm not like that, Iacin ... MHAHNHANFFF!"

"Shhhh!"

She squirmed, with the feeling that a snake had possessed HER body that needed to undulate, be filled and satiated. It was impossible to stay still while all the sensitive parts of her body burned like the sacred fire of a temple, and an uncontrollable l.u.s.t filled her mind. Not to mention the inner of her thighs seemed to melt!

'I'm not like that! Please, please, I need to do something, I need to! '

She moved so much, trying to make her own thighs give her some pleasure, because, of course, Iacintho had been, as always, genius in tying her so she wouldn't use her hands.

"I don't want you to get hurt, sis. There's a substantial risk of…" he shook his head, aghast. Even for him, who had explained to her about her periods, the situation was uncomfortable.

She just looked at him with a silent plea in her eyes, 'Help me!'

"This is a succubus egg and you are suffering the effects, which I don't need to explain what they are. I can't let you loose, because there are a lot of guys that..."

"MEHAAAAHHDH!" 'Let me go! Let me go! I've felt this heat before, but it's demonic, help me...'

"May Hades protect me from that glare in your eyes!" Iacintho made an exorcise signal to his sister, and walked away, his expression hard and distraught.

She motioned for him to remove the gag, but he looked like he was actually dealing with a cobra, and approached her cautiously,

"UFFFF! When will this ... pass? Oh!" Her female parts looked like they were about to melt into lava. She felt her face sting, her vision foggy, her throat dry ... and only one vision appeared in front of her.

Magnus.

"Oh!" she sobbed when in her mind the image of his delta-shaped back, with the skin stretched over the rigid flesh allowing the muscles to protrude at every movement, and his firm and manly buttocks. That morning in Schwartzhoffhausen, when he forced his way into the bathtub, n.a.k.e.d! Why didn't he force his way into her too?!

Ah! What a naughty and pervert thought! It looked much more like everything Lady Eudoxia explained to her, in detail and with drawings, than something that spontaneously appeared in her mind. But… Her body wanted his, and just thinking about his name made her core throb with desire.

"Lex ... It's complicated ...!"

"When?!"

"Supposedly, the job of a succubus is to get a man to waste his seed so she can fertilize new demons ... Her only purpose is to make a man exhaust himself to give her everything he has."

Normally Iacintho would give correct answers, but he was hesitating until he turned his face away and said,

"For the first time, I would rather you were a boy! So I wouldn't be suffering like that! There is no man for you, so it won't go away... Until I find a solution."

"Release me in the forest!" she would run through the forest to Magnus and there would be nothing to stop her this time.

"No way!" he made an expression of horror, and approached again with the gag.

This time Alexa struggled, trying to convince him to let her go, and even when he threatened to beat her up she couldn't help it.

When he left the room for a moment, Alexa was frantically struggling with the ropes to loosen up, and was almost succeeding when his brother came back, caught her in the act loosening the last tie.

"Lex, don't you see? If you run away something bad will happen to you? And it won't be what you want, but ... something horrible? Volos did this to make sure ... we were a couple like I said I wanted to. I can't let you go!"

Her mind could get it, but if the effect would only go away with her having what the body demanded, there was no solution in sight!

"Drink this! It is a sleeping drug. At least while you sleep, you won't struggle or suffer, nor hurt yourself " his brother brought a bottle to her lips.

That had been smart.

Perhaps when she woke up Iacintho would have found a solution. With each passing minute the shame was disappearing from her body and mind, but Alexa knew that eventually, she would come back.

Her body really didn't seem to cool down, but her mind went dull, and her eyes got heavy and sandy. And Alexa still thought whatever Iacintho had given her, it was as potent as Pandora's Egg.

But something happened.

As in the early evening, her mind began to freely wander, like a small ball of blue fire, looking for a way out.

A way out to Magnus.
