Worth a thousand words

They say art imitates life. But what the hell am I supposed to do when my art becomes my life? (Demon-possessed painter OC. Held up by Atlas)

[lachrymosestorm]

That made her feel a little better at least. She sighed happily as she snuggled into Vincent and closed her eyes as she curled her fingers into him. She just wanted to live in these arms for the rest of her life. She was slowly starting to doze off and that was the only reason her hold was starting to loosen. She hoped she'd feel better in the morning. She definitely didn't want to worry Vincent at all.

[bxhindmyeyes]

Once he felt her hold start to loosen, he knew she'd started to doze.. perfect timing. He slowly shimmied out of her hold, trying not to disturb her, so he could get up and get some housework done.. he had the next couple days off, so he figured now would be a good time, while she rested.. he gently kissed her forehead before scampering off to clean.

[lachrymosestorm]

Dez nodded her head. "I will.. But I do need to brush my teeth again first.." She spoke as she had him help her up and she would definitely make sure she at least felt clean again before she held onto him to help her into bed. "I hate being sick. We're getting a house. We can't afford for me to be sick." At least she didn't go in tonight. That would be the worst. "I hope it's a 24 hour bug and I'll feel better tomorrow." She sighed as she climbed back into their bed and buried her face into their pillow. "I feel so gross.." Her head shifted to look at him. "...Do you still love me even though I'm gross?"

[bxhindmyeyes]

Vincent laid in the bed next to her, gently playing with her raven locks as she got comfortable, to help soothe her a bit.. at least, as best as he could.

"You aren't gross." He said plainly. "And even if you were, I would still love you. I will always love you, I will never stop loving you. Even if you wanted me to stop loving you, I would still continue to love you. I will love you until I draw my final breath, and even into the afterlife I will still love you."

[lachrymosestorm]

It took a little bit before she could even reach for the water bottle. She had felt awful, but her stomach was starting to settle as she sighed and took a few sips of water. She was sweaty and clammy and flushed and definitely felt even more tired than she was moments ago. "I wonder if I caught something from one of my clients." She groaned. "I've been feeling tired the past couple of days but I didn't want to complain with how hard you've been working." She sat near the toilet, but leaned against the wall. She wanted to make sure she was done before she would brush her teeth and wash her face again. "..I'm sorry.. I definitely didn't mean to get sick.. Gods I bet I look awful too.."

[bxhindmyeyes]

Vincent gently pressed his forehead against hers. "It's not your fault." He said softly, his voice calm and as reassuring as he could make it. He brushed some stray hairs out of her face, before gently kissing her forehead.

"You look fine, babe.. I think you just need to get some rest.. We'll get you cleaned up, I'll refill your water bottle.. get you all cozy in bed, and you can just rest. You'll need it if you're gonna recover from this quick, okay? You can do that for me, can't you?" He knew she probably wouldn't argue on it but.. at the same time, he knew how stubborn she could be, and voicing it more like an order rather than asking her to would make her more likely to do so.

[lachrymosestorm]

Everything was going so smoothly. She was so excited as she grinned at her fiance. "I think we should cele-" But that was as far as she got before the worst wave of nausea hit her. She was quick to throw herself away from him and dart into the bathroom as she shut the door behind her. Great. And now she was sick. Life really couldn't let her feel peace for 5 minutes could it?

[bxhindmyeyes]

Oh.. oh dear. He quickly got up and followed her to the bathroom.. when he saw what was happening, he was quick by her side: a bottle of water in one hand, her long raven locks in the other, holding them back so they wouldn't get in her way.

"There there.. it's okay.." He whispered, trying to keep his voice even. Gods, what awful timing..

[lachrymosestorm]

"That's not a bad idea. I'm for it." She giggled. "You'll have to unlock me when I have to work so we can pay our bills but otherwise.." She giggled as she sighed happily against him. They were really planning their lives together. She was happy. "How much longer until we get the house? All this house-talk is getting me excited for the future and I don't want to wait any longer!!"

[bxhindmyeyes]

"We go to sign the papers next week, then we can start moving in.. inspections all came back good.. everything is up to date, up to code.. we just gotta sign everything then get our keys.. and we will officially be home owners."

[lachrymosestorm]

Dez sighed happily as she snuggled into him. It felt so nice being in his arms. She felt a little tired lately but she had no intentions on complaining when Vincent was working so hard. She leaned over and kissed him sweetly. "I would too." She sighed happily. "In every room." She grinned. "I can't wait until it's ours and we can just own the place. I bet that first week I won't even wear clothes unless I have to go work." She teased.

[bxhindmyeyes]

"You know what.. that's a great idea. Once we get unpacked, you won't need them for a week or.. well, probably even longer, if I'm being honest with myself.."

He knew she was teasing him.. so why not tease back? "Matter of fact, let's just go ahead and get you strapped to the bed preemptively.. not like your legs are gonna work right after the first day anyway."

[lachrymosestorm]

Her features were warm. She wasn't quite symptomatic yet so even she was unaware of what was currently growing within her was the very child they were speaking about. In her mind they were working towards the first part of the plan: their house. "Our child will be in a house filled with love.. And they'll be happy. We'll be so in love they'll roll their eyes and gag." She giggled as she squeezed his hand. "I love you Vincent. So much. Think we can shift so I can lay beside you and hold you? I just want to snuggle up to you. Is that alright?"

[bxhindmyeyes]

Vincent was quick to move, shifting to lay beside her and wrap his arms around her. His hand came to rest on her stomach, almost instinctively. He had no idea why, just something in the back of his mind told him that he should..

"We're gonna be closing on the house soon.. once we get moved in, hopefully things should slow down a little.. which is good because I'd very much like to.. break in our new home properly."

[lachrymosestorm]

"Well.. if you're sure.. I just don't want you to think you have to take all of this on alone.. I'm here for you." She spoke as she chuckled softly at Vincent nuzzling into her thighs. He was so cute. She bent down and kissed his head again and then sat back up. She couldn't help herself.. he was adorable. Her fingers played with her hair as she sighed happily. "I just don't want you to push yourself so hard you get sick. But if you do I'll make sure to take care of you." She giggled.

[bxhindmyeyes]

"I'll survive." He said softly, shifting so he could give her a kiss in return. "I.. want to give you a life that we can be proud of.. and, give our child a life that.. quite frankly, neither of us got to have. They deserve to grow up in a loving home.. one that doesn't stink of booze, or other things."

He took her hand and gently rubbed his thumb against the back of it. "..I love you Dez.."

[bxhindmyeyes]

"No, you don't have to do that." He had picked up some extra shifts at the grocery store because, even though they could technically afford the house.. well, between the two of them, it didn't seem like they had much furniture.. and he wanted this to be a home, not just a house.

"I'll be okay." He said softly, nuzzling against her lap where he laid. "Besides... laying my head on your thighs is rejuvenating me." He gave her a little smile, trying to keep the mood light.

[lachrymosestorm]

It felt so good.. She was absolutely losing her mind and the sounds she was making was absolutely proof of that. Her cries echoed the church and she was shuddering in her bliss. Korus truly knew how to bring her to a level of ecstasy few had been able to. Her breathing was heavy as she felt herself right on the brink. "..Th-Thank you master.." For whatever it was he did.. She knew better than to not thank him. "B-But Master.. I-I'm about to cum.. M-May I?" She asked for permission with how heightened he had made everything there was no way she wouldn't be able to.

[bxhindmyeyes]

"Cum for me.. that's an order." He growled in her ear as he snapped his fingers, cranking up the intensity of the spell he placed on her womb.. without her knowledge.. she would be impregnated this night.

"Cum.. let go of your inhibitions, feel every little sensation.. become mine, forever...!"

[lachrymosestorm]

She enjoyed the pain he caused her.. the pleasure coursing through her. Her face was flushed as she was fucked right on the altar. It was true that he was making one of her fantasies come true.. she couldn't deny that at all. Her breathing was heavy as she shuddered in her bliss as she shifted. The chains yanking but out of the excitement she felt. "Oh Master.. Only you.." She knew an ego stroke would only spur him on and make it enjoyable for them both. "Ah.. Master..!" She knew she wouldn't last long with the way he was fucking her.. touching her.. He knew how to drive her wild.

[bxhindmyeyes]

He wrapped his arms around her waist as he drilled deep into her, grinding against her with every little thrust. His cock twitched inside her, as he rubbed his hand over where her womb would be.. whispering infernal words in her ear.

A marking appeared where he rubbed his hand, which would amplify the pleasure she felt tenfold... and make it so that her fertility would increase even more so, almost guaranteeing that Vincent's seed would come to bare inside her, leaving her with child.

"Consider this.. a gift from your master, slut."

[lachrymosestorm]

His name was finally uttered out loud. Her body shivering as he had inspected her.. as he had bound her. Her face a dark red.. and gods did he slide in so easily as she closed her eyes and moaned out. She shifted her hips backwards to push his cock deep inside as he fucked her. "Master.." She still moaned out. Her breathing quick as pleasure washed over her body. She knew he'd cover her in bruises again and she didn't mind. Her body was shaking as she whimpered out. "My body is yours.."

[bxhindmyeyes]

"Yes, good..." He whispered in her ear as he slammed into her, raking his nails down her thighs to leave marks on her porcelain skin. She would be his perfect puppet. He swore it to himself.

"You are mine.. only mine.. your heart, soul.. body.. it all belongs to me, my raven haired harlot..~"

[lachrymosestorm]

"Yes Master.." She was so excited for her reward for helping him as she needed.. She knew she shouldn't be, but she was. She shifted onto all fours on the altar and made sure to present herself ot him. She was very clearly already quite excited.

[bxhindmyeyes]

As she got into position, infernal chains appeared around her wrists and ankles, binding her to the altar. Korus grinned as he pushed her legs apart, using his thumb to slowly spread her open, like he was inspecting her. Measuring her worth as an offering. "You'll do.." He whispered softly, before freeing himself, stroking his cock to get fully erect.

"Now, you offer your sinful body to Korus, harlot. Be grateful at his acceptance.." He spoke in a cold tone as he pushed his cock into her, twitching inside her almost immediately as he started to thrust.

[lachrymosestorm]

That was all it took to calm her down. Her defenses were lowered. Just a little kindness made her melt as she looked at him and watched him heal her. Her heart fluttered some and while it wasn't the same feelings she felt for Vincent.. there was an excitement she felt around Korus. And she did feel guilty for it.. and what made her feel even guiltier was how quick the words left her lips. "I've.. always had a fantasy about.. having sex on a church altar.. And.. I'd love it if.. we could.."

[bxhindmyeyes]

Oh? An offering of lust already.. this was perfect.

"Oh, very well.. Get on all fours and present yourself to me... allow me to partake in what is rightfully mine~"

[lachrymosestorm]

Dez was laying there allowing the darkness to wash over her.. she couldn't move.. she could only lay there and stare into the darkness.. She knew she was helping him.. and she was easily swayed. She.. Had mixed feelings when it came to humanity. She didn't want to actively hurt them.. but gods did she not care what happened to them. They were so cruel and wicked.. so few were truly good. When he finished she turned her attention to him and she sat up. "Can I clean up then Master? I'm still bleeding everywhere?" It wasn't enough to do any harm to her body but she still wanted to patch up.

[bxhindmyeyes]

He took her hand, holding it up surprisingly tenderly.. and he put his mouth over the place where he'd cut her.. he stared into her eyes the whole time, before pulling away..

And the cuts had healed.

The only remaining hint of her blood, was what dripped from his lips. "..All fixed." He said with a smug smirk on his face. "Now.. I believe it's time for your reward, girl. What should I grant my high priestess..?"

[lachrymosestorm]

"Master or not I don't invite you into my body." Well.. in a possession sense.. but she did begin to fall quiet and she lay down when he told her to. She could feel the stinging from the cuts, but she had done deeper to herself as fucked up as that was. Dez wanted to know what was going on. Korus always remaining secretive was his most annoying quality. He was an evil entity and that's what bugged her.. that he never explained anything.

[bxhindmyeyes]

"Stupid girl, yo u bear my mark, if I truly wished to inhabit your body, I could do so with the snap of my fingers." Well.. if he were at full power, at least, not now.. but she didn't need to know that. The threat should be enough.

He continued to mumble, and then.. everything went dark. Darker than normal, given that it was night time. Above, they had the moon and the stars lighting their path but in that moment.. it was almost as if they'd shut off, drowning the area in absolute darkness. The silence followed. The sounds of bugs and various ambient noises outside.. ceased entirely. Like they were in a black void.

That was when the sigils on her body began to glow. A violent red light washed over the church, and she would feel herself,, unable to move, for a while. As each sigil burned away, though not hurting her.. one by one, as he spoke, they burned away.. until there was none left.

Then, it returned to as it was. He opened his eyes, sighing contently. "There.. it is done. This building is now completely dedicated to me.. a congregation for my new followers."

[lachrymosestorm]

"...I could have done this dressed.." She sighed but she turned her wrist over and looked at him. It wasn't as if she wasn't used to the sensation. Hell, under her make up were self harm scars. "I know it will. It always does." She spoke indifferently. "..You can make it hurt as much as you want." It wasn't even because he was her Master.. she just genuinely didn't care. "I'm here to serve."

[bxhindmyeyes]

"Don't question me. The undressing wasn't a pointless endeavor." He took her wrist and slid the knife over her wrist a few times, clean cuts, but enough to make her bleed.

He took some of her blood upon his fingers, and began to draw, making runic symbols all along her body, her legs, stomach, chest, arms, even up to her neck.

"There.. now lie still..." He said as he started to speak in a language unknown to her.
