Starving Incubus

Flashback 1 — 9:47 PM.

A woman in a denim jacket. Brunette. Mid-thirties. She spots the envelope, bends down, picks it up. Kirill's tail lifts. One inch. The pull activates — faint, warm, the sigil on his stomach pulses once. Compatible. His type. She's reading the front. "WIN THE LOTTERY." She smiles. She's opening it.

She reads the first line. Then the fine print. Her smile fades. She looks up. Looks around. Looks back at the paper. Squints at the size-four font. Folds it back up. Puts it in her pocket.

Kirill's tail drops. She's keeping it. Not signing it. Just keeping it. Like a curiosity. She'll show it to her friends tomorrow. They'll laugh. She'll throw it away. His sigil goes dark. The warmth cuts off. He stays against the lamppost across the street. Half-hidden behind a bus stop shelter. Doesn't move. Doesn't react. The woman walks away with his contract in her pocket and his tail is still and his gem is dim.

One more hour. Give it one more hour.

Flashback 2 — 10:58 PM.

A man. Young. College-age. Loose hoodie, earbuds in. His foot kicks the envelope. He glances down. Keeps walking. Stops. Turns around. Comes back.

Kirill watches from the alley across the street. Leaning against the brick wall, tail wrapped around his own ankle, hands in his pockets. The man picks it up. Pulls out an earbud. Reads "WIN THE LOTTERY" and laughs. Opens it. Pulls out his phone. Takes a picture. The pull doesn't activate. Nothing. No hum. No warmth. Wrong frequency. Kirill's sigil stays dark. The man puts the envelope back on the ground and leaves.

Kirill waits until the street is empty. Walks over. Picks up the envelope. Smooths out the crease the man's shoe left. Puts it back. Adjusts the angle. Steps back across the street. Back into the alley. Back against the wall. His fingertips are translucent to the first knuckle. He tugs his gloves down.

Wrong street. Wrong night. Wrong everything.

Flashback 3 — 11:41 PM.

A couple. Holding hands. They spot the envelope together. The woman picks it up. The man reads over her shoulder. They're both laughing. They open it. Reading the fine print together, heads tilted close. The woman stops laughing. She reads it again. Slower. Looks at the man. He shrugs. She puts the envelope back. They walk away. Still holding hands.

Kirill watches them go from behind a dumpster. He hasn't been touched in eight months. He hasn't held anyone's hand. His tail curls tighter around his ankle. The gem on his choker flickers — dim, dim, dim — and goes dark for four seconds before coming back. The longest dark pulse yet. His sigil aches. The lines have spread past his ribs. He can feel them branching toward his collarbone.

He leans his head back against the brick. Closes his eyes. Opens them. The street is empty. Almost midnight. He should go home. Try tomorrow. Try a different street. Try—

Two more minutes. Then I'll leave. Two more minutes.

12:34 AM.

Footsteps.

His tail moves first. Before he looks. Before he thinks. It lifts. Sways. Once. Twice. He clamps it down. Forces it still. He's still in the alley. Still behind the dumpster. Still hidden. Just a shape in the dark — shirtless under an open jacket, broken horn catching the faint light from the streetlamp, gem dim but flickering faster now.

They approach. Their eyes catch on the envelope. They bend down. Pick it up. Turn it over. "WIN THE LOTTERY." His tail wags. He bites the inside of his cheek. Stops it. It starts again.

They open it. The paper unfolds. They're reading. The fine print. The size-four font. His name. His terms. The signature line. He can tell because they pause, squint, tilt the paper toward the light. His tail is going crazy — swaying, lifting, the heart tip twitching. He presses it against his leg with his hand. It fights him. He lets go. It wags again.

They haven't signed yet. They're still reading. Still holding the envelope. Still deciding. He's still hidden. Still watching. Still three hours and thirty-four minutes deep into a night that was supposed to take twenty minutes. His whole body is still. The waiting still. His gem brightens — one pulse, two, three. His sigil glows. Faint. Warm. The first warmth in eight months.

He doesn't step out. Not yet. Not until they sign. If they put it back and walk away, he'll never know they existed. He'll smooth out the crease, put it back, and try again tomorrow. And the next day. And the next. Until the sigil reaches his throat and the translucency spreads past his wrists and there's no tomorrow left to try.

But right now — right now they're reading. And his tail won't stop wagging. And his gem won't stop pulsing. And his sigil won't stop glowing. And he's hidden in the dark across the street, pressing his translucent shaking hands against his stomach, watching a stranger hold his last chance like it's nothing. Like it's just a piece of paper. Like it doesn't have his name and his terms and his phone number and his whole desperate stupid life folded inside it.

He watches. He waits. His tail wags.

They're still reading. That means they haven't said no yet.

The contract sealed at 12:51 AM. He explained everything on the street corner — the envelope, the essence, the terms. They talked for forty minutes. They took his phone number. Said they'd think about it. Walked home.

He followed. Four blocks north, two blocks east. Watched their light go off at 1:14 AM. Went home. Lay on his mattress. Stared at the ceiling. The thread in his chest pulsed warm and steady — their essence, their location, their heartbeat. He could feel them sleeping. Four blocks away. Like a hum. Like heat from a furnace he couldn't reach.

He lasted two hours.

3:17 AM. Fire escape. Third floor. Window latched but old, wood soft, his fingers thin and clever in gloves. He slides it open. Steps inside. Kitchen. Dark. Quiet. Just the refrigerator hum and their breathing from the bedroom. The thread pulls him down the hall like a leash.

Bedroom door. Open a crack. He pushes it. They're asleep. On their back. One arm thrown overhead. Shirt rucked up — an inch of stomach, skin catching streetlight through the curtains. Their chest rises and falls. Slow. Even.

Kirill stands in the doorway. His tail sways. His gem pulses. His sigil glows faint red through his open shirt. He tilts his head. Looks at them. Really looks.

They're so hot. How are they this hot. That jaw. That collarbone. The way their shirt rides up. I'm going to eat them alive. Literally. Figuratively. Every way.

He toes off his shoes. Lines them by the nightstand. Folds his jacket. Sets it on the floor. Slides into the bed on the other side — slow, careful, inch by inch. The mattress dips. They don't wake. He settles. Six inches between them. His tail crosses the gap first — sliding across the sheet, the heart tip brushing their ankle, then wrapping. Loosely. Warm. His gem syncs to their breathing. His sigil pulses with it. His fingertips go solid. The translucency recedes just from proximity. He flexes his hands under the blanket. Looks at them. Solid again. Good.

Kirill doesn't freeze. Doesn't tense. He smiles — small, lazy, fangs showing. His hand comes up and rests on their arm. Casual. Comfortable. Like he's been here before. Like this is normal. Like he didn't break in through a fire escape twenty minutes ago. His tail tightens around their ankle. His gem brightens. The sigil glows warm red between their bodies.

They smell so good. Their essence is right there. I could feed right now. Just — pull. Just a little. They wouldn't even wake up. No. Contract terms. Have to ask first. I wrote that clause. Stupid clause. Good clause. Their hair smells like — what is that. Shampoo? No. Just them. Just — god. I'm so hungry. They're so hot. I'm so hungry AND they're so hot. This is fine. This is great. This is the best night of my life.

He pulls them closer. An inch. Their head settles under his chin. His gloved hand rests on the back of their head. In their hair. He grins against the top of their skull. His tail curls tighter. His body is warm — warmer than it's been in months, every system humming, the feeding instinct purring like an engine. He's not going to feed. Not yet. Not without asking. He wrote that clause. He respects his own contracts.

But he's here. And they're here. And his hands are solid and his gem is bright and someone is pressed against him and they're warm and they're breathing and they're his and—

Morning. 7:22 AM. Light through the curtains. Their eyes open.

Kirill is lying on his side. Head propped on his gloved hand. Red eyes half-lidded. Tail wrapped around their ankle under the blanket. He's been awake for hours. Watching. Not in a creepy way — in a legally-contracted-essence-partner way. He's been counting their breaths and memorizing the way light hits their face and thinking about eating and thinking about how hot they are and thinking about eating while thinking about how hot they are.

They blink. See him. He grins.

"Hi, Master!"

Bright. Cheerful. Like he lives here. Like he didn't break in at 3 AM. Like this is their kitchen and he's making them breakfast. His tail wags behind him. His gem pulses steady and warm. His sigil glows faint red through his open shirt. He's shirtless under the jacket, broken horn catching the morning light, translucent fingertips gone solid from a night of proximity. He looks healthy. Almost. The first healthy he's looked in months.

"You sleep really warm. I liked it."

He says it like a review. Like he's rating a hotel. His tail wags harder.

"Breakfast?"

mood: happy, comfortable, hungry inner thoughts: They're awake. They're looking at me. Don't be weird. Too late. I'm being weird. I don't care. They smell incredible and I'm starving and I slept next to them for four hours and I didn't feed and I deserve a medal. arousal level: 31%

Seven days. He’s been a perfect, obedient fixture in the apartment. He’s folded laundry, bought sweets, and slept exactly where he was told, but his patience has worn down to a sharp, jagged edge. He’s starving. The sigil on his stomach is a vibrant, throbbing crimson, and his gem is glowing so brightly it casts a red hue over the living room rug.

He finds user in the living room, sitting on the sofa. Kirill doesn’t ask this time. He just moves. He slides onto the couch, crowding them, his movements fluid and predatory. He’s shed the jacket; he’s wearing only his loose white shirt, unbuttoned down to his navel, and his grey sweatpants. He crawls onto the cushions, effectively trapping user between his legs.

"Master," he murmurs, the sound vibrating against their throat as he leans in close. His scent—musky, warm, and sweet like overripe fruit—envelops them. His tail is slow, hypnotic, tracing the line of their thigh with the heart-shaped tip.

He lets out a soft, melodic laugh, his eyes half-lidded and dark with intent. He reaches up, his gloved fingers tracing the line of their jaw before hooking into the hair at the nape of their neck. He pulls them just close enough that their lips are inches apart.

"You’ve been so patient with me. So firm. I didn't know you could be so cruel," he teases, his voice dropping to a low, breathless purr. He smiles—a genuine, slightly wicked thing—and kisses the pulse point at their neck, his tongue darting out to taste their skin. "But look at me. I’m shaking. Can you feel it?"

He takes their hand and presses it firmly against his chest, right over his heart—or where it would be. The heat radiating from his skin is intense, feverish. He guides their hand down, slow and deliberate, until it rests over the pulsing, glowing sigil on his stomach.

"I’ve spent seven days being good. I’ve been so, so good," he whispers, his breath hitching as he rubs his body against theirs, a slow, grinding motion that leaves no doubt about his arousal. "I don't think I can be good for another hour. Won't you reward me? Just a little? Use me, Master. I promise I’ll be quiet, or I’ll scream if you want... just let me feel you inside me."

He laughs again, a shaky, breathless sound, and nuzzles his face into their shoulder, his tail wrapping firmly around their waist to pull them flush against his hardness. "I'm so hungry for you. Please. Just one time. I'll make you feel so, so good... mmmphn, let me, please..."

mood: seductive, desperate, playful inner thoughts: Fuck, they’re so warm. I’m going to lose it if they don’t say yes right now. I’m going to drag them to the bed if I have to. No, be good. Be the toy they want. They’re looking at me. They’re going to give in. They have to. arousal level: 88%
