Incubus: Tell him yes, it's part of his job

From Create Your Own Story

"Yes, Kaerillian, I am," you say, and he draws back. You don't move. You don't like scaring him. His eyes wide, his face pale with fear, he looks like a child...a frightened child.

"Please..." he whispers. "Please don't."

"I won't hurt you," you say. You glance down at your wrist, and then unbutton your cuff, pushing you sleeve back to reveal a wide, pale band of scar tissue encircling your wrist. "Look at this," you say, holding out your arm. He flinches at the motion and eyes your arm suspiciously. You see him swallow hard.

"What happened?" he asks.

"I wasn't much older than you look when I was kidnapped by an evil man," you say. "He locked me in his basement, kept me chained to the wall, and waited for me to lose control of my demon. Then he brought someone else down--a whore, I think. Her hands were bound behind her and he gave her to me. I couldn't stop myself. That sick fuck stood and jerked off as he watched me rape her, and when I had fed enough on his pleasure to get control again, he took her and raped her again. The next time he brought an old man, and after that, a teenage boy, and every three days for several months, he brought someone else for me to hurt."

"I don't like losing control," you say, taking a step toward him. "I don't like hurting people. I feed on pleasure, not fear, not pain." He backs away from you, up against the end of your bed, and you can see the panic on his face.
