Archdemon Empress Luna

*****************************

Luna managed to meet Ravin's fierce golden gaze with her tired eyes wide open. "I want to get out of this tub, Ravin."

I want to sleep." She murmured, blinking drowsily as she faced him, "I'm exhausted."

"I should have known." Ravin guided her to the side of the bathtub with tender care so that he could lean unto it while Luna sat on top of his naked body.

Grabbing her waist towards his, Ravin stretched his legs as she nestled on his chest. "The demonic runes I placed on you were fading, replaced by Angel Dust all over your body."

She tensed, "Angel Dust?"

Did Ravin know she got in contact with an Archangel's apparition before?

As usual, the Archdemon couldn't keep his hard-on under control, but both of them decided to ignore it.

She didn't care to glance down.

Luna had treated it like air as it poked unto her ass.

She couldn't see it, but it was there.

"I have washed your entire body nine times already, and this is the tenth." Ravin drew in a deep breath, and Luna could sense that he was sniffing the crown of her hair. "It's not coming off entirely despite scrubbing your skin and soaking you with demon blood."

She turned her head to glance up at him. "This pale pink liquid---"

He wrapped his arm protectively around her body, and she didn't struggle.

Fighting with a mature Archdemon was futile because a fledgeling could never overpower him. "I slew some demon imps on our way here to my Kingdom."

"Oh." Luna's mouth formed into a silent 'O'.

Luna soothingly rubbed the throbbing ache on her forehead and murmured in an icy tone, "So I'm not in Luxen's Ice Kingdom anymore."

"You are back in my Kingdom." Ravin's voice lowered in deep baritone as he whispered in her ear.

Luna sucked in a sharp breath.

She paused briefly as her heart clenched with pain. "The Hellfire Desert Kingdom with the Crimson Skies."

"You remember." There were pride and amusement in those two simple words.

Luna's heart was heavy as her mind clouded with fear, pain and terror.

Just for a moment, Luna thought she might turn physically ill.

"Of course," Luna wrinkled her nose in disgust, remembering the chopped limbs and detached heads of the children with empty eye sockets.

She gave a deep shudder as her stomach revolted.

The vision in her memory escalated her piercing headache as she battled the tears that threatened to fall.

Luna pressed a hand to her twisted stomach, and Ravin's hand came to rest upon her hand in a gesture of unspoken sympathy.

"You were tainted by the Archangel." He interrupted her dark thoughts as he told her grimly, "Angel Dust is a lethal poison to demons, especially to a fledging like you."

There was a sudden air of danger that crackled about him when he mentioned the Angel Dust on her body.

Luna knew Ravin didn't like the Archangels marking her. "If an Archdemon touched you, they would feel excruciating pain like I did."

"The first time I carried you in my arms, my skin turned black and blue upon contact." Ravin heaved a weary sigh. "Instant knife slashes manifested unto my flesh, and the next minute, I was bleeding profusely."

"I don't feel any different." Luna shook her head as she glanced around her, "Where is the Angel Dust you are talking about? I don't see it."

Luna dragged her chilled fingers on her arms, and she shivered.

Ravin had noticed her shivering, and he grasped her hands in his warm grip, "The sticky silver of dust glittering on your skin. That is Angel Dust."

"Angeldust can burn an Archdemon's skin like this. That was why I need to cleanse you." He said quietly. "You can smell that sickly-sweet smell?"

There was a faint pause before he added, "That is the scent of Angel Dust. It could make you vomit and burn your stomach like acid if ingested."

"I didn't remember being tainted by---" Luna remembered the man who had given him angel feathers when she lived in Luxen's sex dungeon.

That was the last encounter she remembered with an Archangel.

Did Ravin know about it?

Brushing his lips on her ear instead of the neck, Ravin's tightened his grip on her, "I need to clean the Angel's Dust which you have acquired from an Archangel's contact so that you will heal faster."

"H-how?" Luna stuttered as the Archdemon laughed.

'" First things first." Ravin lifted a hand and pressed his wrist unto her lips as an offering. "You need to drink."

Luna strongly insisted. "I told you I am alright."

"Don't make me tell you twice, Amare." It was the sound of razor slashing over her skin, sending chills over the nape of her neck.

Luna saw no need to argue any further and did what he ordered.

Parting her lips, Luna's fangs elongated, biting his wrist so hard she swore she had pierced bone.

Luna drank Ravin's Archdemon blood in gulps, never wasting even a drop.

Moaning in bliss every time Luna swallowed his essence, she licked and sucked Ravin's bloody wrists to her heart's content.

Ravin groaned in response, his cock surging upwards when her tongue glided towards his punctures.

She drank his blood like Ravin was water, and she was a thirsty traveller in the desert.

Luna was the greedy traveller who finally had the taste of her desires.

Luna gave a choked cough as the last trickle of blood slid down her throat, and Ravin's wounds had sealed shut.

Wiping Ravin's blood off her mouth, Luna lifted her head and met Gluttony's concerned gaze with a frown.

"You were thirsty." Ravin studied her face, warily as he brought her hand to his lips, "Why do you keep denying what you need when I have offered for free?"

A thick lump threatened to choke her when she heard Ravin's words. "I don't need your help."

"You just have to endure it then," Ravin's tongue flicked over the sensitive skin of her wrist, "I'm going to have to lick you all over to get rid of Angel's Dust on you."
