Suddenly A Succubus
Chapter 34.5

When Tessa looked over at Vee, she caught the angel blushing as she watched the seduction unfolding in front of her, but they both quickly averted their eyes as they committed to giving Nick and Amara a veil of privacy.

Surprisingly, Tessa was glad to have the circle as an excuse to abstain from hooking up with Amara. As amazing as the sex was, she still didn’t know how she wanted things to proceed between them. The time apart, as well as several uncomfortable conversations with Nick, had reinforced her own hesitations over giving Amara free reign over her body. Nick still trusted Amara implicitly, and Tessa was inclined to agree with him, but she wanted more time.

Without a strong idea of how long Amara might prolong their hookup, Tessa decided to sit down on the floor while she waited. She knew from idle gossip that Nick loved dirty talk and hearing Amara moan, but she had a feeling they were going to try and keep things quiet out of respect.

Of course, they were still fucking, and a certain amount of noise was to be expected. It wasn’t long before Tessa heard Nick’s breathing pick up, then a series of sloppy, wet sucking noises. Tessa wondered if they just might stick to oral for now; Amara could cum no matter what, and it would be less clean up afterwards. The two kept moaning as the minutes crept on, and Tessa couldn’t stop her thoughts from wandering.

What caught her off guard, however, was what she wanted to fantasize about. It wasn’t Amara’s supernatural tongue, or her thick, prehensile tail; it was Nick. She focused on his moans of pleasure, wondering what he might sound like if she ever got the chance to fuck him. Did his tastes change from partner to partner? Tessa’s certainly did.

It was strange to fantasize about Nick. Sex had always been comfortable for Tessa, but it had never been something worth imagining. Her life had always been delightfully simple; when she wanted sex, she got it. She knew how to meet people, and how to tell which ones were on the prowl for some good pussy. Why bother fantasizing about sex when it was never more than a phone call away? Now, with Nick having refuted her advances time after time, she almost felt like a horny teenager again, desperately wishing she could hook up with the cute guy down the street.

As time kept passing, Tessa was forced to awkwardly shift positions a few times. She could feel herself getting more and more turned on, but she didn’t dare make things more awkward by doing anything about it. For one thing, it would be horribly rude, but it would also endanger the bridge she’d built to Purgatory.

Thankfully, it seemed like Amara was on a mission. Tessa knew from experience that the demon could easily draw out encounters as long as she wanted, but today she seemed content to end things quickly. Nick’s breathing grew louder and more panicked, then Amara’s moans picked up in volume, and before long, they were cumming together. It sounded like Amara was having significantly more fun than Nick was, and Tessa wondered if he was simply trying to be polite by keeping things quiet.

There was a shuffle of clothing, the sound of a zipper, and then Amara spoke up. “Alright you two, we’re all finished!”

Tessa shook her thoughts loose and turned around. “Whew, that’s probably for the best. I think I’ve got a headache coming on from keeping the circle up and running. If you two are all set, I think we should call things here.”

Amara licked her lips, her tail excitedly darting back and forth behind her. “I’m all good! Vee?”

Vee was still blushing as she turned around, and her voice seemed quiet compared to her usual demeanor. “Um, yeah, I’m set. Hey, Tess, is there any way to send brief messages through the circle when you’re not holding the bridge open? We were waiting a pretty long time today, which is fine, but I’m just curious.

“I suppose you could try pushing your magic through like you did last time? I can’t promise I’ll see it instantly, especially if I’m in the middle of some alterations, but it might be better than nothing.” Tessa said.

“That’s good to know! Hopefully we won’t be in any emergencies, but I figure it’s good to have a plan just in case. We’ll see you two tomorrow!”

Nick and Tessa both hugged Amara goodbye, then Nick did the same with Vee. Out of habit, Vee moved closer to Tessa, but hesitated as she reached out. The gesture had seemed so genuine, as had the hesitation, and after a moment of awkward silence, Tessa rolled her eyes and moved in for a hug. Vee squeezed her tighter than she expected, and she couldn’t help wondering if there was an apology hidden in the gesture.

Everyone stood on opposite sides of the circle, and then Tessa dropped the magic. The circle faded back to its original state, then Amara and Vee disappeared from view.

After a few moments, Nick spoke up. “Hey, before you get back to work, you want to go take a walk around campus? You’ve been cooped up in this tiny room for over a day, and you need to get some fresh air. I’ll even buy you lunch.”

“Honestly? That sounds pretty nice. I think some space will do me good.”

After passing through the illusory wall, the two of them marched up the stairs until they found their way back to the quad. As they walked, Tessa very nearly started pestering Nick about his recent exhibitionism, but another topic wormed its way into her thoughts instead.

“Nick, how do you do it?” Tessa asked quietly. They were skirting around the outside of the quad, which had an unusual layer of thick fog in it.

“Do what?”

“You’re just, like, always so chill. You get a little flustered sometimes, and there was that week you took off from school, but it seems like you’re always taking everything perfectly in stride. I mean, your best friend’s a demon, I’m a witch, Vee’s an angel, and we’ve all almost died like a dozen times over. Yet, through all of it, you’re just smiling and buying me burgers, or letting Amara suck you off while we awkwardly pretend we can’t hear everything that’s happening.”

Nick cupped his hands around his mouth, briefly warming them, before shoving them in his coat pockets. His breath hovered in the air briefly as he sighed. “I don’t know. Like, yeah, everything that’s been happening is really fucking weird, but isn’t that life? Just a constant parade of fresh bullshit, day after day? Yesterday Amara grew a new limb, today she’s stuck in Purgatory, and maybe tomorrow she’ll be upset because she got a bad grade or something. At a certain point, I find it’s easier to just accept everything that’s happening and instead shift my focus to doing something about it. I’ve been supporting Amara through panic attacks for years, so does it matter why it’s happening? She’s always had skills that I didn’t, only now it’s throwing fire and fighting cults, whereas before it was knowing how Photoshop works. It’s obvious that I can’t help out on the battlefield, so my options are actually pretty clear. I keep her calm, help put things in perspective and remind her that she doesn’t need to be scared of her powers.”

“You make it sound like it’s so easy,” Tessa said with a smirk.

“I mean, to a certain extent, it comes pretty naturally to me. I realize that’s not the case for everyone, so I try to help out when I can. Like, even though it’s easy for me to focus on putting one foot in front of the other, I understand why certain situations are cause for panic. I’m not immune to it myself, I was pretty freaked out when Amara disappeared. But, in that case, it’s because I didn’t know where to put that next foot. When Amara says she needs to feed in front of two of our friends? That’s awkward, but I know what needs to happen.”

“Well, you’re lucky. I wish we could trade places sometime. I’ll make you do all the planar math, and I’ll just sit back with a burger while Amara goes down on me.”

Tessa was trying to rile up Nick, and it worked like a charm. He was burying himself in his scarf as his cheeks turned bright red. “Okay, look, I’m very much aware that I’ve gotten a little lucky in certain aspects, alright? I’m just trying to be respectful of Amara and not be some jackass who takes what he has for granted.”

With a hearty laugh, Tessa punched Nick’s arm. “You’re such a dork. I’m just being an ass; no need to be so defensive about it.”

It took several minutes for them to finish their walk to the local burger joint, and just after they’d placed their order, a stray thought from earlier reappeared in Tessa’s mind.

“Did Amara seem, like, not as tired today?” Tessa asked.

“How so?”

“Like, yesterday, she could barely stand up without Vee’s help, and I even thought her skin looked a little red, but today she seemed pretty put together.”

“Y’know, now that you mention it, yeah, I guess a little bit. But wait, wouldn’t that mean…?”

Tessa’s eyes went wide as the pieces finally clicked together. “Holy shit!”
