Nolan nodded. “Yes, Sire.” With that, he left us alone.
Ara licked the remaining drops of Nolan’s seed from his fingers, then spit it in my face, coating my cheek with his saliva and Nolan’s seed. As disgusted as I was, a part of me wished I could have tasted the seed, if only to get some relief, if that was possible.
“I was wondering if you would be able to feed your sexual desires the way dragons do. You see, full-blooded dragons can satisfy their hunger simply by drinking in the lusts of those around them. To actually engage in sex is the epitome of feeding for them, but not necessary.”
He ran a finger down the length of my chest and my body ignited with pleasure as I responded to his touch. I was actually able to get just the tiniest bit of satisfaction from that small interaction.
He chuckled. “Ahh, yes… my son is needy… hungry. Did that taste good, child?”
I nodded because I was incapable of lying at this point. “Yes… Yes… please, more,” I begged. I wanted him to do so much more.
“This morning, you did not want me to touch you at all. You denied my cock, which was a mistake, was it not?” Ara asked me.
This time, I didn’t respond, and he nodded.
“I see… still fighting.” He crossed his arms over his chest as he studied me. Again, his expression was unreadable and it aggravated me to not know what he was thinking. Or what he was going to do to me next.
The door opened again, and Nolan entered with a naked male following him. The human was filthy as he was obviously a slave. Nolan shoved the human to his knees before Ara, where the man began to cry and beg for his life. I knew he would die and I closed my eyes. When I did, I saw my own act of murder, when I had killed Samuel.
I wanted to be disgusted by my actions, but all I could think about was howexquisitehis blood had been. That glorious elixir that breathed life anew within my very being. I truly was a monster.
“Not a monster, child, a god. Never forget that,” Ara said.
“Only a monster feeds on life,” I shot back.
Ara laughed, but he did so in such a hysterical manner, it forced me to open my eyes to look at him. Just what had he found so humorous about my words? I looked over to see Nolan laughing as well, and took special offense to him mocking me.
“The sheer hypocrisy of it, Théoden,” Ara said, once he had settled down.
“It is true!” I insisted.
“Oh? Well then, my dear child. For you have always been a monster if the definition of one is to feed on life,” Ara said.
It took me a few seconds to understand what he meant before I could clarify myself. “To feed on human life.”
He waved his hand dismissively. “To the animal you slaughter for your meal, his life is greater than yours, but you do not agree. That is why the animal dies and you eat his remains. For us, it is the same. To a human, his life is more valuable than your hunger. You may want to believe you share the same sentiment, but you will learn, my son, that this is false.”
He began to kneel down behind the human who was still begging for his life in whatever language he was speaking. “You will learn that the only thing that matters to a god is what you desire and what you need. These humans are for the taking, Théoden. They are yours to feast and fuck. They are here to quench your thirst and sate your raging cock. You will come to love them for that purpose and nothing more. Every once in a while, you will find another purpose for them, which is to procreate, but only when one proves themselves worthy or when the situation calls for it. But that is all they are to offer you, my son. Take note,” Ara said before plunging his fangs into the human’s throat as viciously as he could.
The human screamed as Ara gnawed at his flesh, digging his fangs deeper and ripping the tender skin around the wounds. Blood, deeply red and oh so precious, flowed down the man’s chest and pooled on the rug. Again, I licked my lips as the scent of his blood ascended my nostrils, making my thirst even more unbearable.
I needed to feed, I wanted to. It was a mistake to deny otherwise, I saw that. This was what I was. A creature of darkness, of dark intent and wicked desires. A harsh truth to accept, but one I knew I had no choice but to accept. The silver burned me as I tried to pull on the chains holding me captive. I thrashed on the cross, hoping I could break free of my bindings and jump on the human Ara was feeding from, then drink my fill.
It was all in vain, as I could not free myself from the chains that so cruelly held me captive. Ara pulled himself free from the human, blood dripping from his lips. Ahhhh, lips I wanted to kiss and suck. I wanted to drink the blood from his lips as we kissed, then push him to the floor and impale myself on his cock. I screamed in defeat as none of what I wanted came to fruition.
“Yes, I know, child. It is a horrible fate to starve. Let us hope that you will never have to go unfulfilled again,” Ara said as he tossed the body to the floor. He walked over to Nolan, grabbing the back of his head, and pulled him down for a kiss. The kiss I wanted to give him, and I watched in stubborn rage as Nolan’s tongue licked the blood I wanted to taste from Ara’s mouth. I wanted to turn away, but I couldn’t. My body refused to obey my mind and I continued to watch as the two of them moved toward me.
Ara went to the floor, lying on his back as Nolan mounted him. It was what I had wanted to do, and more tears flowed down my face as Nolan began to slide himself down on Ara’s cock. I watched as Nolan’s muscular hips rocked back and forth on Ara’s cock. Both men moaned in ecstasy as they fucked in front of me. Again, I could taste their lust, such a sweet and tangy flavor that drove me insane with need.
I wanted to have my own orgasm, several times to be exact. My cock jerked and drooled as I was forced to watch them do what I wanted to do. I needed to feed, and fucking Ara was the best meal, I knew this. With the dragon gone, no one else would compare to Ara.
With a loud moan and several shouts of pleasure, it was over. Nolan covered Ara’s masculine chest with its perky dark nipples in his creamy, white seed. And I knew Ara had filled Nolan with his own seed, the same seed that was still inside of me from earlier.
“Go hunt,” Ara commanded, and Nolan nodded as he rose off Ara’s cock. Again, he left us alone and Ara rose from the floor and approached me. “My poor child.” He reached out, caressing my cheek. The same cheek he had ripped apart when he took my jaw. It was astonishing how those same hands could be so gentle now. Especially when the man they belong to was so cruel.
“What you see as cruelty, I see as love. For it is out of love that I must be cruel. I must do what is necessary to make sure my child is properly reared. Spare the rod… spoil the child. Your bible speaks of such things and of that, we agree,” Ara said, then just as quickly as he had caressed my cheek, he dealt me a swift, backhanded slap that rattled my brain and left me reeling from the jarring impact. My face throbbed from the pain and I felt three teeth had been knocked out by the blow. I spit them on the floor and looked down at their bloody remains. That was twice now that I had to lose teeth only to regrow them.
“You will remain tied to this wall to watch as I feed and fuck before you until the full moon. You will not be touched, nor will you taste a drop of blood until that time. Once your punishment is over, you will feed without complaint. You will not deny any cock in this house, save the servants. It is only for your best interest that I must take these extreme measures. Do you understand?”
Blood dripped from my lip and nose and I licked at it if only to get some satisfaction, but none came. Ara snorted and shook his head.
“Perhaps for a human, when starving, eating your own limbs may offer solace, but no such action will work for a vampire or a dragon. Masturbation will not feed you, nor will drinking your own blood. Now, answer my question.”
I nodded sadly, my body slumping in my utter defeat. “I… I understand, Sire.” I had hoped that this was the extent of my punishment, as it was harsh enough by my standards. But I was going to learn that what was good enough for me was not acceptable to Ara.
“You are learning, child. Mercy is granted to those who’ve earned it, which you have not.” He walked away, leaving me alone in the room while he entered what I knew to be a lavatory of sorts where his bathtub awaited him.
I would be forced to endure night after night of starvation and I had no idea just how horrible it was going to get. The only question was… did I want to die already? Well, maybe not yet.
