Chapter 12 - The Princess

Tied to a chair and blindfold, Leon sat in the middle of the cellar stunned. Rika had just stolen his first kiss while he couldn't move. But he was awake and perfectly aware when she did it. She definitely knew that Leon would know it was her who kissed him. 

So she does like me! I knew it! But why steal a kiss like that? She is definitely the type to struggle with her emotions. Acts out all bratty and everything.

Her warmth still lingered on his lips. In his previous life, he had never had any luck in the department of love. Though most of that was due to his introverted life choices. 

Kissing wasn't a big deal for most in my old life. But in medieval times and even some current cultures, kissing was very sacred... I doubt it means anything here though, more likely it's Rika being Rika.

Eventually he heard the door open and was brought out of his thoughts. The voices of 'Rose Thorn' could be barely heard. Saying what sounded like words of encouragement.

Are they trying to convince her I'm safe to eat?.....

Wow I never thought I'd think something like that. Still thought. The poor girl is choosing to starve herself. If I can help her, I will. Regardless of how painful this might be. 

He steeled himself as he heard the door closed. He was now alone with the succubus.

You got this! I'm going to kiss a succubus. This should be a dream come true!

"Excuse.. me.."

His thoughts were interrupted by a small voice. One which sounded dry and rasping from starvation.

"Oh umm hello."

"Are you... sure?...You"

"Oh yeah it's fine."

He cut her off, not wanting to give her a chance to second guess her own survival.

"Not to brag but I actually fed a vampire twice before I got here. So don't hold back! You couldn't kill me even if you wanted to."

"Alright..."

He felt the succubus straddle him. She was smaller than even Rika but he could tell she wasn't meant to be. He could feel the bones of the girl as if she was anorexic.

"...Ready..?"

"Yes."

She leaned in and kissed him. Her lips were soft, tasting of red and sin. Pomegranate with sparks of cherry and strawberry. Saliva was sweet and intoxicating, like honey that was distilled into liquor.

Warmth flooded him, rich and numbing like a drink that spread too quickly. Morphine clouded the mind while his life was viciously drained away. His body felt the pain, but he didn't need to scream. Neither fully claimed him. His healing was numbing both as it adapted, leaving him distant from the kiss and wholly aware of his surroundings.

Her lips were no longer soft, but cracked and dry, and the illusion of sweetness had dissolved. Now it was just a kiss. Yet she felt heavier on his lap, softer somehow. 

Did she get bigger?

His perception was right. She was growing as she drank his life. He now felt her chest pressing against his. Her thighs thicker as she straddled him. 

Are Succubi's proportions related to how much energy they have in them?

Her curves and size continue to grow. His head now tilted up as they kissed. From what started as a girl even smaller than Rika, now felt more like what you would expect of a demon of lust. 

Her lips are soft and sweet again, but not due to the magic effect from earlier. She's actually become fully hydrated from just kissing me.... Wait!? Just how much has she drunk from me?

Valeria had said drinking his blood to feels endless, only stopping herself because the wound closed through her anti healing saliva.

She's not stopping....not like I want her too...I am saving her after all...

He continued with this kiss. With demonic influence no longer affecting him, he decided to forget his surroundings and return to the passionate moment. To a normal kiss.

The Succubus continued to drink his vitality, her body growing with each life he healed. Leon wasn't a giant by any means, but still stood taller than most. Yet now the succubus had grown to the point of making him feel small. It was the growth that led to the kiss finally stopping. Her size no longer allowed their lips to touch while she sat on his lap.

"Wow...that was amazing.... Are you ok?"

Her voice was no longer small, but steady and warm. It was the deeper tone that suggested a much more mature and alluring woman. It even shocked her. Cleaning the clouds in her head as she realizes the situation and panicked 

"No. Wait. What happened to me!!!... No it's okay. It's fine. I can fix this..I am Celestine Del'Mirielle Revelry, 2nd Princess of the Revia Kingdom. I am Celestine Del'Mirielle Revelry, 2nd Princess of the Revia Kingdom. I am Celestine Del'Mirielle Revelry, 2nd Princess of the Revia Kingdom...."

As Celestine kept repeating her name, Leon began to worry about the mental well-being of the now known princess. However, before he could say anything, he started feeling her shrink in his lap. Her voice becoming younger.

She's making herself smaller by repeating her name? No. More like she's shape shifting back to her original size. It would make sense for Succubi to be able to change their appearance. Allow them to match to a target's preferred body portions.

Leon waited. He was still tied up and blindfolded, but eventually her shrink stopped. She now felt somewhere in-between her first and last form. Thin with slight curves. Much closer to a girl like Valeria then Rika but still a bit shy of Valeria.

"..... I think I'm ok now. Sorry about that."

"No worries. I had a great time... Is that ok to say? I'm not too sure what is appropriate to say here."

"I'm not too sure myself...ummm may I take off your blindfold?"

"Yes please. Maybe get the others to unite me too...."

Celestine removed the blindfold as he kept talking. His mouth fell silent as he saw her for the first time.

Blonde hair, like strands of gold, fell along the sides of her face. Catching all light even in this dark cellar as if radiated something sacred. Her eyes were a clear pale blue as pure as an open sky. Her beauty surpassed that of any princess, soft and elegant, carrying a grace that felt divine.

And yet. Brown ram horns curved from her head, unmistakable and unnatural, and her lips were also stained red, laced with that intoxicating sin that he had tasted when they first kissed.

"Thank you! I know this kiss was just you helping me. Yet even so, it was my first kiss. As such, should you ask of it, I will honor it. From this moment on, my hand in marriage is yours to take."
