Xenia stood in her master suite with all of her clothes for the masquerade ball laid out on her bed in front of her. Her phone began to ring, and she ignored it at first; however, after glancing to see that it was Constance, she eagerly answered it.

“Constance! Hello!”

“Xenia! Hey, are you free? Can you teleport me there for a quick request?” Constance wasted no time cutting to the chase.

Xenia quickly replied, “Yes. One moment. Where are you?”

“My bedroom in Khan Castle.”

Xenia held out her palm and created a portal with the other end opening in Constance’s bedroom. Only moments later, Constance stepped through and hung up her phone.

She looked at Xenia, “This has to be the coolest ability ever. You’re only ever a step away!”

Xenia nodded, “It really is because I could use your help getting this dress on.”

Constance looked at the dress laid out on the bed, “Oh my. Xenia! Who are you seducing tonight? This dress is fucking sexy!”

The dress was a soft black leather tube dress starting just above the knees and ending halfway up the chest leaving an enormous amount of cleavage on display. The dress laced up with black leather ties on each lateral aspect from top to bottom though making it incredibly hard to fasten by one’s self.

Xenia picked up the dress and held it up to her body, “If you must know… Nero. He even requested it.”

Constance had a wide smile on her face, “It’s finally happening isn’t it?”

Xenia smirked at her, “We will see. Nero can’t be forced so easily like other men. He’s a real man.”

Xenia stepped into the dress and inched it up her body slowly. Then while Constance laced up the sides, Xenia asked her, “So what did you need of me?”

Constance loosely laced up both sides, and then began to cinch down each side tightly. Xenia had the breath knocked out of her momentarily as Constance tightened the dress, but Xenia couldn’t argue with the results as the dress suddenly fit her perfect body like a glove.

“I need to be healed. I used Shadow Slave on Vega forcing him to cum inside of me as part of my plan to strengthen my hold on him. It worked wonderfully. But. I do not want to bear his heir. It would be so weak. Ew.” Constance continued to lace up the other side tightly as she spoke.

Xenia laughed, “Of course.” She then reached her hand atop Constance’s head and healed her entire body before saying, “I need to make some bloodstones for you to keep on you at all times, so you can heal when I am not available. I will have them made and ready for pickup tomorrow. Will you have time to come by?”

Constance nodded, “Thank you empress. I will definitely have time to come by. And with that in mind, I will not hold back in playing with Vega more.”

Xenia smiled as Constance finished lacing up the dress and admired herself in the mirror, “With any luck we will both be playing tonight.”

Constance smiled, “Just so you know, Vega is now my boyfriend publicly.”

Xenia gasped, “Constance! You do work fast. And how is his girlfriend taking it? Or the Heraklinos higher-ups for that matter? Isn’t she the daughter of one of their elites?”

Constance laughed, “No one is taking it well, but especially not his now-ex-girlfriend, Chastity. Erika and Jacek were speechless but wouldn’t decry our relationship given my new position and the fact that Vega is their friend.”

Constance motioned for Xenia to sit on the bench at the end of her bed, “I’ve got Vega wrapped around my little finger. He will jump at the opportunity to do any and everything I say.”

Xenia sat on the bench at the foot of her bed, and without instruction, Constance immediately began to put on Xenia’s boots and fasten them for her.

Xenia looked down at Constance, “How wonderful. Shadow Slaves is quite the impressive technique, Constance.”

Constance looked up, “And I plan to continue training to become more powerful to serve you, Xenia.” She zipped up the first boot and asked, “So will you follow tradition with Nero?”

Xenia moaned to herself in pleasure, “Yes. And I can’t wait.”

Constance finished putting the boots on Xenia’s feet and looked up at her, “I am always so jealous of Nero.”

Xenia reached down and took hold of Constance’s chin forcing her to look up at her, “You have nothing to be jealous of, Constance. You can have me whenever you want for how long you want.”

Constance blushed and looked away. Xenia then stood noting that her tight leather dress inhibited her regular breathing depth. She then turned to Constance, “Once you have a firm, unshakeable grip of Shadow Slave on Vega, I think we should bring him here for a night we can all enjoy.”

Constance bowed her head with a smile, “As you wish empress.”

Xenia then opened a portal for Constance to return, “But for now, I must be going. Nero is surely already waiting for me.”

Constance stepped closer to the portal and looked back one last time before entering, “Thank you for healing me. Enjoy your evening with Nero.”

Xenia bit her lip and nodded to Constance, “I’ll let you know how it goes, for sure.”

As Constance slipped away into the portal, Xenia donned two elbow length black leather gloves and exited her room to meet Nero.

Nero stood at the heart of Bella Domina in the cathedral room at the front of the structure waiting for his empress.

He then heard the steps of Xenia in her boots as she entered the cathedral. Nero stood at the end of the aisle near the front entrance of the cathedral, and Xenia began to walk down the aisle to meet him.

He took note of her perfect figure, lace up black leather dress, black boots, and black gloves. He thought to himself, “My empress is perfect in every sense of the word.” He then found himself craving to touch her as the all-black lustful outfit ignited his primal instincts overwhelming his mountain of discipline.

Xenia walked right up to him and ran her hand down his chest, “Nero, you look absolutely stunning in your tuxedo.”

“And you… my empress…” Nero stuttered as he failed to articulate his thoughts.

Xenia put her arms around his neck and whispered into his ear, “Am I the only girl who has ever made you want to abandon your discipline and indulge in your savage and wild desires?”

Nero merely nodded but then managed to say, “Yes, forgive me.”

“There is nothing to forgive, Nero. I am yours, or are you not a BloodStar Immortal?” She leaned her body into his, and he grabbed her by the waist with both hands pulling her in even closer against him.

He then leaned in and kissed her on the lips. The two kissed for several minutes making out in the dim candle light of the cathedral until Xenia finally said, “We should be going. But as your empress I order you to treat me like I am yours more often.”

Nero fell to a knee, “Yes, my empress.” As he kneeled, Xenia then said, “Should we teleport, or would you rather have our driver take us?”

Nero stood, “I have arranged for a driver. I would like to make an entrance, and I would like for St. Michael to know that I am making connections with Scorched Shadow.”

Xenia raised her eyebrows at him, “Nero, darling. I am impressed to see you playing the game of politics so well already. Yes, let’s drive then. But first…”

Xenia secured a matte-black mask to her face which covered from her nose up with two small matte-black devil horns sitting atop her head. She handed a similar matching matte-black mask which covered Nero’s face from the nose and up as well; however, his mask had no horns.

The two then stepped out of the front entrance of Bella Domina, walked across the enormous plaza, and arrived at a black limo waiting for them.

Nero opened the door for Xenia to enter, and then he climbed into the car, “Take us to Shadow Manor.”

The driver responded affirmatively, and they were on their way. Nero knew that he now assumed the dominant position between the two of them while out in public, and Xenia was merely a date of his for the night.

It wasn’t long before the limo arrived at the circle drive of a manor in the middle of the capital city of the Holy Light Empire. They were an hour late to the party, and they were arriving unannounced.

Nero squeezed his massive frame out of the car and held his hand out for Xenia as she alighted from the car as well.

A soldier of the Scorched Shadow organization immediately took notice from the rooftop and radioed his commander, “Please let General Preston know that BloodStar Immortal Nero and his date have arrived.”
