Shedding Page 3
Thankfully the devils answered his call. Mimi came barging into the room and startled time back into action.
“Lili darling, Nekona is running on the lawn again.”
“That bitch!” Lilica shouted and stood in a hurry, discarding the gaming device as she briskly walked out of the room.
Leros was confused as Nekona should know better by now but then Mimi gave him a snide wink once Lilica had passed and it all made sense. He started to feel sorry for Lilica as she would no doubt be swept up and ‘trained’ by Mimi, using her unstable emotions as bait. Cobera was quite sad to see Lilica go; she must have been having a good time.
Once all the distractions were out of the way, Leros asked Cobera about her feelings.
“So earlier you asked me to… fertilise your eggs, what did you really mean?”
Cobera was dumbfounded at the sudden question and hadn’t planned for such a turn of events.
“I-I um.”
The pressure had gotten to her, it was clear she didn’t know how to phrase her feelings. Feeling sorry for the girl, Leros took the lead to spare her of discomfort.
“Well Cobera… I like you, as a woman.” Leros felt he needed to add the ‘as a woman’ to the end to make things clear. Leros attempts to be mellow towards the fact most of the residents in the dark palace are female and most of them require his… masculinity with increasing frequency. He’d never really thought of Cobera as someone to physically love before today, and wondered how long he’s kept her waiting. In truth Leros did like Cobera, she was sweet, loving and had an innocent charm that rivalled Ghost, the spider that’d been following him all day.
“I-I like you too Lerosss.” Cobera finally had the courage to say something she longed to and looked into Leros’s amber bestial eye in fascination. It was no secret Leros’s scales and cat-like eye were some of his most handsome features. Cobera was drawn towards this mutation, like it reflected her own humanoid body.
“Well… there only one thing left to do…” Leros said in quiet and seductive manner. He moved his face close to Cobera’s delicious pink lips and yearned to taste the flavour inside again. Closer and closer the pair got, they were millimetres away when…
“STOP!”
Lilica came bursting back into the room and looked exhausted. Her petals were bright green and torn in places, it was clear she had a scuffle with Mimi and it was clear she won. Hanging to the right of Lilica was Mimi… upside down and bound with Lilica’s vines in a bondage-esque way, which she seemed to be ironically enjoying.
“Lilica,” Cobera said softly.
“No more for today you need to, you know… for earlier, just stop.”
Oddly enough Cobera understood the baffling sentence but Leros was none the wiser.
“You, out!” Lilica shouted at Leros.
It was sad to be told to exit a room in his own home but as to not create a bigger scene he reluctantly did as he was told. Lilica gave him a cold gaze as she dumped Mimi on the floor and entered Cobera’s room, closing it in the process.
“What was that about?” Leros quizzed Mimi who was recovering from her surprising defeat at Lilica’s vines.
“Well I had to tackle her before she got to the garden and carried her into my room, she resisted so I kissed her but she brought up some weird pollen, the next thing I knew I was in a lovely pose.” Mimi was oddly enough quite pleased with this turn of events.
“No not about that, about what Lilica said,” Leros asked with more force.
“I have no idea…” Mimi said, playing dumb.
This time she was lying and Leros knew he wouldn’t get the answer to this question today. Some secret among the girls? Leros was intrigued but perhaps it wasn’t his place to meddle as it was obviously something they were trying to keep from him. He settled for the answer “girls stuff” and walked back to his room alone in disappointment.
Leros jumped on his extremely large bed and laid his head back at the headboard, thinking about the day. He was glad he cleared things up with Cobera and was even happier that Lilica made the effort to do more than just apologise. He was still bitter about not being able to spend time with Cobera but he understood that Lilica and the others probably had their reasons.
Pondering the day and the relaxing atmosphere lulled Leros gently into sleep. Not five seconds passed when a shadow from under his bed whizzed by at the opportune moment and slipped under the covers next to him. Ghost had been waiting all day for her prey to become vulnerable, now was the time… for snuggles.
