The countess's distraction
It is another night in the kingdom of Lahmia. The blood tithes have been paid. The army of undead is steadily growing. And forces of Khorne have once again been repealed. All is well within the decrypted land. Or at least it would be in one of the noble houses if it wasn't for one thing. The madame of the house, Serena Scarlett, still hasn't gotten over her break-up. It has been many years since her break-up with Vlad Severn. Enough to have several generations of humans live and die of natural causes. And though Serena has been able to fulfill her duties, her dating life has been the best. Between the assassination attempts, hobnobbing with other houses, and making sure her vampire lineage isn't exposed, she hasn't had a lot of luck in that department. Not that she hasn't tried of course. Nor has there been a lack of suitors. It is more that when Vlad had her heart, it was gripped ferociously. At least that's how she puts it. True that when you saw them together, it was almost impossible to see them not be made for each other. That is on the service though. In truth, Vlad's vanity and need for attention was what kept him with Serena. Her love and admiration were enough to feed his ego for centuries. But even those who serve Slaanesh would agree that his vanity was too much at times. So much so that when Serena didn't give him attention for one night, he broke-up with her at sunrise. This devastated her. Even her undead guard agreed that life was sucked out of her. She has of course responded rationally. Sending enough rumors of a vampire lord visiting a human village that a witch hunter is sent out, and he gets departed for good. Wouldn't have worked if she didn't orchestrate it to be true. Rumor of a fine makeup powder in a random village here. Some gossip of Vlad not looking his best there. And before you know it, Vlad was making his way to the village where the rumored makeup was. As well as a well-prepped witch hunter lying in wait. Shouldn't have broken Serena's heart on her undeath day is what the servants said for a while. Time has passed since then. And as the years fly by, the grip that Vlad had on her non-beating heart still held. Enough that whenever she begins to develop feelings for another, Vlad would flash through her mind. Some say this could be a curse. One that her former lover placed on her before his end. Others call it a phase that will pass after a millennium goes by. But no matter what it's called, she was still trapped within Vlad's "cage". During this particular night though, that may change. The cage that had trapped Serena's heart may be unlocked. Allowing her to move on. All thanks to one caring servant. A servant of the name Idris Moldark. Though if you asked him, even he doesn't know he freed the dark madam's heart. He begins his night like he always does. Puts on the appropriate apparel, has his meal, checks on the other servants to ensure their morale is up as they fulfill their own duties, and finally check in own his mistress. It has been at least a week since she left her room. Which, for a being of the night is nothing. But for a mortal, it is indeed a long time. As he approaches her chambers, he sees empty bottles of blood-grog strewn about through the hall. Sending a sadness through his very being. While saving him as a child from some rogue thralls was whim to Serena, it was the most important day of his life. So, to see the one who saved go through such pain, brings him much sorrow that few can feel. As he approaches her room, Idris hears his madame crying once more. Even if she is incapable of making tears anymore, Serena can still cry tears of sadness in the form of blood droplets. He takes a deep breath, unlocks the doors and enters. Idris: Good evening my mistress! The time to start the night is nigh. Let's get things started, shall we? Serena looks up from her bed. Blood-grog in one hand and a worn pendant in the other. Serena: Oh. It's you Id. For a moment I thought

Even if she is incapable of making tears anymore, Serena can still cry tears of sadness in the form of blood droplets. He takes a deep breath, unlocks the doors and enters. Idris: Good evening my mistress! The time to start the night is nigh. Let's get things started, shall we? Serena looks up from her bed. Blood-grog in one hand and a worn pendant in the other. Serena: Oh. It's you Id. For a moment I thought
it was another assassin. Already had to deal with three this month. Rather not deal with a fourth. Idris: Three? Serena points to the corpse of a would-be assassin in the corner. No doubt sent by another of his madam's rivals. Ah. Yes. Three. Well. I'll have someone come and clean this up. For now. Let's get your night started then. Serena: Hmph. Right. Shall we? She slowly gets up from her bed. Teasing Idris with barely clothed body. It is no secret that he has had a slight crush on her for some time. Many mortals and undead have so before. But most try to keep such things somewhat a secret. He however is not so secretive. Idris: Ahem! Yes. Um. I'll go fetch your clothing for the night. Serena: Really Id? You haven't even offered me a drink before taking my clothes. Idris blushing: You know what I mean mame! He proceeds to quickly gather up clothing for her. All the while teasing him here and there. After much difficulty, mostly on Idris part, Serena starts her night like any other. One by one, she proceeds to do her tasks with efficient pace. Documents are signed, speeches are giving, prisoners are tortured for information, having some tea during break, and going through the local town to ensure things are running smoothly. All of which proceeding without issue. As night's end begins to approach, the melancholy that Serena has become accustomed to begins to seep in again.
Idris can see the signs of this as if clockwork. Though while he is used to this, this time seemed different. And as they pass a random calendar, he understands why. It is his madam's death day. A day that among the vampire lords is usually held in praise and celebration but only brings sorrow to Serena. For it was on this day that Vlad broke-up with her. Increasing the pain unlike any other. And as they approach his madam's chambers so she can retire for the day, Idris decides to do something. Something that in retrospect, could've easily gotten him killed. Serena opens the doors to her chambers and is ready to close them for the day until Idris speaks. Idris: Um. Madam? If I may? Serena raises her brow at the sudden request. Curious, she responds. Serena: You may, Id. Idris: The kvas that I've been experimenting with has finished aging. I was hoping that, with your permission, we could try some together. I've even made some blood infused kind that'll suit your pallet. With your permission of course. This was unusual for Idris to request Serena thought. Most of the time Idris wouldn't request, well, anything. He would usually do whatever she asked, and he would do so with glee. So, for him to do request this has admittedly caught her off-guard. Why not she thought. She was planning to open another bottle of blood-grog anyway. Might as well try something different for a change. With haste, Idris goes and grabs a couple bottles of kvas. One mostly clear while the other distinctively red. He then grabs some glassware to pour the kvas in. As he pours the drinks in them, a smell mixed with peach, wheat, and herbs fill the air. Soothing the dark lady's mind for a moment. Serena: Mm. This is quite the aromatic beverage I might say. I quite like it. Idris: Thank you madame. I've been tinkering with the recipe for some time now since I acquired it. Took me a few tries but got it to balance the sweet and spicy flavor that I've been trying to reach. Well. Let's try it shall we? Serena: Let's indeed. With that said, both drank their respective glasses. A warmth and sweetness going through both of them. Serena had to admit that compared to the blood-grog she's had up till now, this kvas was much better. Would even put some of the liquors from other houses to shame.
Serena: Mm. I have to admit. This was much better than I thought it would be. Very good work, Id. Idris: Thank you me lady. It was well worth the time and effort I put into this. Serena puts her glass down for a bit. Serena: How long were you working on this recipe? Idris: Well, the regular stuff didn't take that long to make. The blood infused variety took much longer though. Went through several batches and tastings with the thralls to get it right. Serena: And. You did this for. Me? Idris: Partly for the domain. Sell the recipe and batches to merchants to expand the house's influence. But mostly, I just wanted to see you genuinely smile again. A sharp pain goes through Serena's cold heart. It has been some time since someone cared for her in such a way. Blood, sweat, and toil into making something they didn't even know would work. At least not before she met Vlad. And as she sips more of the kvas, the memories of Vlad and Idris clashed. The happiness she felt for both conflicted. Centuries with Vlad seemed little in comparison to the 2 decades with Idris. Strange this was she thought. And yet, the memories of Idris made the drink ever sweeter. After finishing her glass, Serena asks Idris a serious question. Serena: Id. I have to ask. Why have you put up for me for so long? Idris almost spitting out his drink, took a second to recoup before setting his glass down. Idris: Ahem. Well. Wow. Was not expecting that. Don't most servants stick with their masters for most of their lives? Serena: In most cases yes. But not all serve a lahmian lady willingly as you did. At least not without getting spellbound. Both figuratively and literally. You've had more freedom than any in your position. Hell. You could've easily walked out the kingdom's gates without so much as a bat of the eyes. So, I ask again. Why? Why stay here? Pauses for a moment. With me?
It was true. As much as Idris didn't want to admit it, he has been given more freedom than any other in the noble houses. Other servants who have served other houses often envied his position. Some have even been shocked whenever he talks about his daily routine. Most servants who've served lahmians have not been treated so fairly if rumors are to be believed. Or at least not to the extent Idris has. After one last gulp of his drink, he responded. Idris: I admit. It hasn't been easy. I'm not talking about the duties assigned to me. Nor the expectations that have been placed on me. Not even the ever-present danger that surrounds me on a daily basis simply living here. What has been hard for me, is seeing you in such pain. To see the one who I had saved my life and gave it purpose go through such sorrow has always given me such a bitter taste at times. Serena: Then why? Why stick with someone who's given you such anguish. Idris: To put it bluntly. I'm in love with you. Started as a crush after being saved and given purpose into full blown love. Call me crazy or drunk from this admittedly stronger beverage. But it is the truth. A pause hanged in the air. Others have confessed similarly to Serena. Most of which was bat droppings that were ignored or executed for. This time however was different. There were no fluctuations in Idris's tone nor heartbeat. What he said, was the real deal. And despite the long, long-life Serena has had until now. Full of conspiracies, intrigue, tense tea parties, and more blood spilled than anyone can recall. This left Serena in shock. And notably aroused. With a flick of the wrist, the doors to her chamber are closed and locked. She gulps what's left in her glass then guides Idris to her bed. Ripping off her clothes and his with ease. Pushing him onto the bed with a gentle nudge. Serena: Id. If you want me to stop, I will. Do you want me to? Idris shakes his heads to the side. Good. Because this point on. You are mine. Even if you bed other woman and have them bear your kin, you are mine. Is that clear? Idris: Yes, me lady. I am yours. Now and forever. Serena: Good. I wouldn't have it any other way. Before he could speak another word, Serena kisses him with centuries of pent-up passion. Slowly grinding her groin on his leg as she does so. A thousand emotions flooding his brain. Is this real? Is he dreaming? All the sensations in his body pointing to no. This was all in fact real. The unrequested feelings he's had being engulfed in acceptance all at once. Before he could say anything, Serena gets on her back while she positions him on top. Serena: Take me now my love. Let out all that you've been keeping in. Idris positions his rod in front of her flower before slowly pushing in. Bliss sending shivers through her body with him every repeated motion. Idris holding her leg in the air with one hand while holding her ass in the other. Making sure she's comfortable even as he plows her. He had imagined such a scenario several times. Merely fantasy he thought would never be. But here they are rutting like the world was going to end tomorrow. Pleasure pushing them both closer to the edge. Idris: Pants. Me lady! Pants. I'm getting really close. Please. I'm begging you! Let me finish inside! Serena: It's ok, love! Do it. Mm! Fill me up! Give me all the essence you can. Ah! Hold nothing back! With the go-ahead, Idris releases his all his pent-up seed inside her. Knowing while foolishly useless, wants to impregnate her with all his might. Until he poured all he could. Making sure not one drop could get out. Thinking he was finished, Idris rests before Serena pushes him on his back. She gets on top of him, speaking a spell making him instantly hard again. Serena: A little trick that I learned from a Slaanesh follower friend of mine. Good thing cause. She straddles on top and pushes him back in. Mm! I have a lot of time to make up for. And you are gonna help me with that. She begins going up and down with rapid pace. Her feet planted on the bed while her hands hanging onto him for dear life.
Sounds of plopping echoing through her chamber. Idris clinging to the sheets, overwhelmed by the force and pressure that his new lover was giving him. Could not believe that behind the calm and noble face, was a beast that once she has you, will not let go. Not that he wanted her to. He has been wanting her to consume him in as many ways possible. Long as he could still somewhat breath by the end of course. As she was getting closer, wings sprouted from her back and fangs bearing in full sight. Fear and excitement going through him as she continued to pound his rod into her. Until with one final push inside her, she screamed with bliss as waves from multiple orgasms went through her. More and more seed fills her up before she returns to normal and plops onto him. Serena pants for a bit before she speaks. Serena: Sorry for scarring you, my love. I hope I didn't put you off much with that display. Idris: Nothing to apologize for. I love everything about you. Even the parts that scare the crap out of me. Serena laughs for a bit. Serena: Glad to hear that. Not many could withstand something of that nature. Idris: Not even Vlad? Serena: Who? Oh. Yeah. What's his face's name? Let's not mention him for a while. Idris: Of course, my love. Let's rest for a while. We have all the time in the world. He had no idea how right he was. Because even as time passed, he got married, having multiple children and grandchildren, she would give him the kiss that would keep him for all eternity. He was hers and she was his after all. And the blood kiss, made sure of that.
