The golden light of morning spilled across the room, warming the air and stirring me from sleep. the succubus' body was pressed tightly against mine, her head tucked into the crook of my shoulder, and her tail draped possessively over my thigh.
Her soft breath tickled my neck, her fingers curled against my chest, holding onto me. Her claws were retracted, leaving only warmth in her touch, but the possessive way she clung to me was unmistakable.
I shifted slightly, careful not to disturb her too much, though even the faintest movement drew a soft hum from her throat. Her tail tightened briefly, and her lips brushed against my collarbone in a way that felt almost instinctive.
“Morning,” I murmured, my voice still rough with sleep.
Her eyes blinked open slowly, the haze of sleep softening her expression as she met my gaze. She responded by giving me a slow blink and then nuzzling deeper into my shoulder with a faint, pleased sigh.
“You comfortable?” I teased, brushing a hand through her hair.
Her huff of acknowledgment was soft, and her tail squeezed my leg as though to emphasize her point. I reached for my datapad, careful not to disturb the lazy warmth that enveloped us. Its faint glow caught her attention immediately, her eyes sharpening as she tilted her head curiously.
“How about we find you a name today?” I asked, remembering a thought from the other day. Her tail squeezed me again, her claws flexing briefly against my chest before retracting fully as though the suggestion intrigued her.
I went through a dozen names—Lilith, Kaeline, Selara—but none of them seemed right. Her reactions were subtle at best, ranging from bored curiosity to complete indifference; none drew the spark I was searching for.
After what felt like an eternity of scrolling, a name seemed to catch her attention. “Jinaria,” I said aloud, watching her closely.
Her tail squeezed my leg again, and her eyes brightened slightly as a soft hum escaped her lips.
“You like that?” I asked.
She nodded faintly, her fingers brushing over one of the runes etched across my chest.
“Jinaria it is,” I said with a small smile. “Jin for short?”
Her hum deepened into a soft purr as she pressed herself closer, her breath warm against my skin.
I set the datapad aside, running my hand gently through her hair one more time. Her eyes fluttered closed, her body melting against mine as her breathing slowed to a steady rhythm.
It wasn’t until I held her that I noticed the changes in her body. The sharpness of her frame had softened, her limbs fuller, her hips curving in a way that hadn’t been there before. Even her skin seemed warmer, more vibrant, carrying a rosy glow that I couldn’t ignore.
She’d changed.
The realization hit me like a freight train, the pieces falling into place with startling clarity. Our intimacy hadn’t just quieted her hunger—it had nourished her. Not just emotionally but physically. Sure, her feeding off my energy before had sated her, but it was only now that her body had significantly recovered in barely any time at all.
Her lips brushed against my collarbone again, pulling me from my thoughts. Her hands slid down my chest, her touch light but deliberate as her fingers explored my skin. Her movements were slow at first, tentative, but the way her tail coiled around me betrayed the growing need simmering beneath her quiet exterior.
“Jin,” I murmured softly, my breath catching as her lips trailed lower.
She responded with a soft hum as her hands roamed over my chest. Her touch grew bolder, her lips trailing heated kisses across my collarbone and down my chest, her long tongue flicking against my skin in a way that sent warmth racing through me. She pressed closer still, her body aligning with mine as her hands cupped my breasts, her thumbs circling over sensitive skin, runes alight.
I groaned softly, my hands sliding to her waist to steady her as she continued her exploration. She wiggled out of my grasp and her lips moved lower, lower, leaving heated trails along the curve of my chest, her touch unrelenting.
When her mouth found one of my breasts, her tongue teasing the sensitive skin before her lips closed around it, I couldn’t suppress the shudder that coursed through me. My fingers tangled in her hair, guiding her as her rhythm deepened.
Her attention shifted slowly, her kisses trailing lower still as her hands slid down my sides. She lingered at my hips, her claws grazing the skin lightly as she glanced up at me, her eyes shimmering bright pink with a mix of hunger and affection.
I exhaled shakily, my hand tightening in her hair as she pressed a soft kiss just below my navel.
“Jin,” I gasped softly, her name spilling from my lips like a prayer.
Her hum turned low and teasing, her tail sliding down my leg as she adjusted her position.
My breath caught, my hand letting go of her hair as she shifted position, her body settling comfortably between my legs.

“Jin,” I murmured again, my voice thick with a mix of anticipation and vulnerability.
Her focus was absolute, her mouth working with an intimacy and precision that left me trembling. My hands gripped the sheets, my breaths shallow as waves of sensation coursed through me.
She alternated between soft, teasing flicks of her tongue and deeper, more deliberate movements as her content hums filled the room, a soft melody that resonated deep within me.
When my body tensed, the pressure building until it spilled over in a shuddering release, I cried out softly, my back arching as her rhythm continued, drawing every ounce of pleasure from me.
She slowed gradually, her lips trailing back up my body, soothing and tender as she kissed the sensitive skin above my hips.
When her gaze met mine again, her eyes were soft and satisfied, her expression glowing with a mix of triumph and contentment.
I reached for her, pulling her back into my arms as our lips met in a kiss that was languid, affectionate and salty as I tasted myself on her. Her body melted against mine, her breaths syncing with my own as the heat between us settled into something softer, warmer.
We stayed tangled together in bed for what felt like an eternity, the golden light shifting across the room as the day pressed on. Jin remained close, her soft purrs vibrating on my skin as she nuzzled into the crook of my neck.
“We really need to get up,” I murmured eventually, though the thought of leaving her warmth felt almost impossible.
Her claws flexed lightly against my skin, retracting again as she made a quiet noise of protest.
“Jin,” I said softly, brushing a hand through her hair. “Breakfast isn’t going to make itself.”
Her lips once again brushed my collarbone in response and her eyes met mine with a glint of mischief. I sighed, pressing a kiss to her forehead before untangling myself from her grip and swinging my legs over the edge of the bed.
The moment I stood, her hands found my waist again, her grip firm but gentle as she guided me back down onto the mattress. Her lips caught mine in a kiss that was both playful and insistent, her tail curling around my arm as she pulled me closer.
“Five more minutes?” I teased, though the words were muffled against her lips.
Her soft giggle was all the answer I needed.
By the time we finally left the bed, the sunlight had shifted, casting longer beams through the room. Jin's steps were light and unhurried, her tail swaying contentedly behind her as we moved to the kitchen.
I began pulling out pans and utensils, my thoughts still lingering on the warmth of her touch and the way her body had reacted to mine.
The succubus, however, had other plans.
Before I could fully focus on breakfast, her hands found my waist, her grip firm but not forceful. She turned me toward the living room, her tail curling lightly around my wrist as she guided me toward the couch.
“Jin we have to start our day eventually,” I murmured, though my words lacked conviction. Her eyes sparkled with playful insistence as she pulled me after her.
“You’re relentless,” I muttered, though I didn’t resist as she leaned back against the cushions.
She settled comfortably on the couch, her tail coiling around my waist as she guided me to kneel before her.
Her soft humming was encouraging, her eyes half-lidded as I braced my hands against her thighs. I leaned forward, pressing soft, deliberate kisses to the sensitive skin just above her knees.
Her breath hitched, her claws flexing against the cushions as her tail wrapped around my neck instead, pulling me closer.
“With pleasure,” I murmured in response, my lips brushing against her inner thigh.
Jin drew a sharp breath, her body trembling beneath my touch as I worked with unrelenting precision. Her soft cries filled the room, tail tightening briefly around my neck as I brought her closer to the edge.
When her climax finally overtook her against my face, her back arched, her hands gripping my head as a shuddering moan escaped her lips. I steadied her, my hands tracing slow circles along her thighs as her breathing slowed.
She pulled me onto the couch with her, her tail curling possessively around my waist as she straddled me. Her lips found mine in a scorching kiss, her hands roaming my back with an intimacy that sent sparks racing through me.
Her hips moved against mine, her rhythm steady and deliberate as our soft sighs and shuddering breaths filled the room.
The succubus' pace quickened, her focus unrelenting, and the bond between us pulsed with a rhythm that left me breathless.

The sound of the door clicking open was abrupt, cutting through the moment like a blade.
“Hey, Tats!” Viper’s voice rang out, cheerful and oblivious. “Shower’s busted, so I’m borrowing yours. Oh, and I brought breakfa—”
They froze mid-step, their sharp eyes locking onto us before a grin spread across their face.
“Well,” they said after a beat, their tone thick with amusement. “This is new.”
“Viv,” I groaned, my voice strained as I tried to covers us, though Jin’s grip on me was unyielding.
Her growl was low and possessive, her claws pressing digging into my skin as her movements quickened.
“Oh my gods,” Viper said, breaking into laughter. “This isn't exactly how I thought I'd find you after yesterday.”
“Get out,” I snapped, though the breathlessness in my voice robbed the words of any edge.
“Can’t,” Viper replied, dropping a bag of food onto the counter. “I’ve got a key, remember? And I brought bagels. You’re welcome.” Their steps retreated to the bathroom before I'd found the breath to respond.
A quick shower later, Viper leaned casually against the armchair, their amused gaze flicking between us with a smirk as Jin continued, her focus entirely on me as though the interruption didn’t exist.
“Still going, huh?” Viper teased, their tone light but sharp. “Guess I should've brought snacks instead of bagels.”
“Viv,” I said through clenched teeth, though my voice broke into a low groan as Jin’s movements quickened. “I swear, I’m going to kill you.” They snorted, settling into the armchair across from us as they pulled a bagel from the bag. “Yeah, yeah. After breakfast.”
Time seemed to blur as Jin’s heat pulsed unrelentingly. Every touch and motion radiated her need, drawing me deeper into her searing touch.
When her intensity finally began to subside, the apartment fell into an almost serene quiet. Jin lay curled against me on the couch, her body warm and pliant, her breathing slow and steady.
Viper lounged in the armchair across from us, their feet kicked up on the coffee table as they picked through the remnants of what was now lunch, ordered with my money while I was busy.
“So,” they said casually, gesturing toward us with a chopstick. “What’s the plan now?”
I brushed a hand through Jin’s sweat-matted hair, my other arm resting across her back. “What plan?” I muttered, my voice low and hoarse.
“You know,” Viper said, smirking. “How are you going to keep that”—they gestured toward the dazed succubus—“happy, fed, and out of trouble?”
I sighed, leaning back against the cushions. “One day at a time, as long as my heart doesn't give out.”
Jin stirred faintly at the sound of my voice, her eyes blinking open as she nuzzled against my chest. The heat in her gaze had softened now, replaced by a dreamy contentment that made my heart quicken.
Viper chuckled, their grin turning wicked. “You’ve got your work cut out for you, Rak'. Suppose that stamina training Reaper’s always making us do is putting in overtime.”
I shot them a glare, but the warmth in Jin’s expression made it impossible to stay annoyed at my best friend, despite their shit-eating grin.
“Yeah,” I said softly, brushing a hand over her back. “Suppose it is.”
