"Come on Lucky!" Simon whistled to emphasize his call. Lucky reluctantly
stopped sniffing at the pine code that had fascinated him and turned to
bound after Simon, tongue lolling and pine cone forgotten by the time
he had taken ten steps. Since coming out to Megan's ranch from the city,
Lucky had loved how much he got to run and play.

As Simon ran through the forest, his ever-present mage-lights painting
the trees with vibrant colors, he almost stopped noticing the pain of
on as much light as he could muster, he could nearly keep up with the
monstrous rate at which his body produced mana. A good run like this in
the morning made the rest of the day bearable if not pleasant.

Simon and his dog continued their run through the pine forest and
came out onto an unfamiliar field. Lush, knee high grass grabbed
at Simon's legs and he was glad that his sister had given Lucky an
anti-tick charm when they had first got to her ranch. His enjoyment
of the moment was shattered when an unfamiliar witch came rocketing
towards him on a broom.

"What the heck!?!" the witch asked, her face every bit as angry as
her voice. Despite her obvious anger, or maybe even because of it,
Simon couldn't help but notice how pretty she was. She was a slip of
a thing, maybe five feet tall and slim but still curvy. She had Asian
features, and her skin was a warm golden tone the color of honey. Her
hair was pulled back in a no-nonsense pony tail and wore a sweatshirt
and yoga pants.

"I'm sorry? Can I help you with something?" Simon asked. "Lucky,
easy." He noticed his dog's tail wagging at the newcomer and knew
the big mutt wanted to jump on the unfamiliar witch and cover her
in kisses. Lucky loved everyone.

"You can't be here! This is private property. I'm doing very delicate
experiments and you keep messing them up!" She had a bit of an
accent that Simon didn't know how to place.

"Oh, ummm, sorry, I didn't realize that. I just came through the woods,
I didn't see a sign."

"Why are you holding a hundred mage lights anyway? Are you stupid? You
know you could do this all with one spell? Do you know anything about
magic?"

Simon almost retorted in annoyance that since his sister was the youngest
archmage alive, he knew quite a bit about magic, but squashed the impulse.
It really would have been quite crazy for pretty much anyone else to do what
he was doing. "I have a condition. I generate a ton of mana and if I don't
do this I get overload. Honestly I get overload either way."

"Oh," she seemed to deflate a bit.

"I'm really sorry I messed up your experiment though. I'll stay away."

"Thank you. Can you also stop moving your lights around so much?" She
gestured to the mage lights that were flying around one another in complex
patterns. "I can calibrate my dampeners to eliminate the interference
if they don't move and change color all the time, but I can't keep up
with that."

"Yeah, sure." The lights stopped and formed up into a regimented set of
ranked white lights. "I'm Simon by the way. I can give you my number and
you can tell me if the interference is too much. I could even get out of
town for a few days if you want me to."

"Oh, umm, yeah, thanks, that sounds nice." She pulled out her phone
and Simon gave her his number.

"My last name's Cooper if you like to have first and last in your
phone like me."

"Cooper, umm, like Megan Cooper?" Megan was pretty well known as
the only archmage to come on the scene in the past decade, and
most people knew she lived around here.

Simon nodded, "Yeah, she's my sister, twin actually. I'm out here
visiting her."

"Oh, ummm, that's cool." Lucky decided that he had been waiting
long enough and started creeping towards her, his tail going
a million miles a minute. Noticing the eager dog, she said,
"your dog is so sweet."

"Thanks. His name's Lucky."

"That's a nice name. Can I pet him?"

"Yeah, sure, he would love that. Ok, Lucky." At the word "ok" Lucky
lept forward and immediately jumped up to place his paws on her
shoulders. "No Lucky," Simon said sharply. Lucky was pretty well
trained, but he persisted in jumping on new people. He fell back
to the ground at the admonition. The as-yet unnamed witch didn't
seem to mind his jumping, and she enthusiastically set out about
rubbing Lucky all up and down his body, making little noises of
encouragement to him as she did so.

She spent a long time rubbing Lucky and looked much more relaxed
when she finally straightened up. "Wow, it was almost worth
loosing two days of data to get to meet you. You're such a
cutie," she told Lucky. "Sorry I was so angry at first, can
you chalk it up to me being an overworked grad student?"

"Sure, only if you tell me your name though,"

"Oh, I never told you, sorry. I'm Rudee."

"Nice to meet you. You spell that with a y?"

"With two es"

"Got it. Well, it was nice to meet you Rudee with two es, and I'm sorry
I ruined your experiment."

It was only after she got back on her broom and rode away that Simon
noticed the silver ring on his left pinkie was glowing a faint silver.
Rudee's magical aspect was the aspect of the succubus.

=============================================================================

Simon felt a little guilty about moving his lights in his usual patterns,
but since he had never actually gotten Rudee's number, just given her
his, he couldn't think of another way to get in contact with her. Sure
enough, after a few days he got a text from an unknown number, "Hey
Simon, this is Rudee, are you moving your lights around? I'm having
trouble calibrating."

"Oh, sorry, force of habit," he lied. Stopping his lights motion,
he messaged her again, "That better?"

"Much, thanks."

"Sorry again. To apologize for this and for messing up your last
experiment, can I take you to dinner?"

She didn't reply for a long time, and when she did it was short
enough that Simon imagined she had written out several replies
first, "Like a date?"

"Yeah, like a date."

"I don't think that's a good idea. I can't really date."

"If this is because you are worried about your magical aspect hurting
me, you shouldn't be. My problem is too much mana, remember. I'm not
scared to date a succubus-witch. My sister actually told me it would
be good for me."

"Oh, umm, really? Also, how did you know my aspect?"

"My sister got me a detector ring,"

"It's not a no, but let's wait a month. If you're still interested then
I'll know I didn't accidentally mind control you with my aspect."

"I'm pretty sure you couldn't break through the protection charms
my sister put on me, and even if you had she would have detected it
when she checked me yesterday."

"Oh, in that case, I guess I'm out of excuses :). I have to run an
experiment on Saturday, but maybe we could do something on Sunday?"

==========================================================================

"How's this look?" Rudee asked her roommate Mini, twirling to show off
the outfit she had just conjured. Her aspect meant that she didn't have
to shop for clothes, at least as long as she was aiming to look sexy.

"Cute, maybe too cute. The skirt gives off a bit too much of a sexy baby
kinda vibe."

"Hmmm, yeah, you're right," Rudee snapped her fingers and the thigh length
pleated skirt and crop top she wore transformed into a shimmery green
dress with a slit up the side of her legs.

"I mean that looks amazing if you're going to a gala," Mini said.

Rudee snapped her fingers again and the dress turned into a blue and
white patterned dress that cinched tight around her waist and hugged
her breasts tightly, emphasizing their size but keeping them covered
completely. The skirt flared out, making her naturally thin waist seem
even tighter. "What about this?"

"I think you've got it."

"Nice, thanks Mini."

"This is so exciting! Is this the first date you've been on? Like
ever?"

Rudee nodded, "Well I went to a dance in middle school before I realized
what my aspect was, but I don't think that counts. I'm kinda nervous."

"Don't be, it will go great, and even if it doesn't, umm," Mini had been
about to say there are plenty of fish in the sea, but for a girl like Rudee,
there really weren't. "If it doesn't, don't worry about it. Bitches first."

Rudee grinned, "Bitches first."

Rudee tried to write a bit of code to do some numerical analysis on the
data she had taken the week before, but she couldn't concentrate. Thankfully,
it wasn't long before the doorbell rang. "I got it!" she called, probably
uselessly.

Walking over to the door she pulled it open. Simon stood in the door
wearing a pair of jeans and a tight purple button-down shirt with a
pattern of blue and green shapes that looked vaguely inspired by the
runic alphabet. Rudee had been thinking about the way his arms had looked
when they had been glistening with sweat on his run for the last few
days, but now it was the muscles of his chest that drew her attention.
His mage lights were lined up in regimented rows behind him, all glowing
the same soft white. "Hey!" she smiled at him.

"Hi, wow, you look lovely,"

"Thanks," she stepped forward and gave him a quick hug, noting the fact
that he was more than a head taller than her even with the three inch
heels of the sandals she had conjured. His body was hard and she could
feel the definition of his muscles clearly through the fabric of his
shirt. She didn't want to linger, but she definitely felt a note of
disappointment that the physical contact was over when she stepped
back. For so long Rudee had only allowed herself to imagine a sexual
relationship with her vibrator, but now that the possibility of something
more stood in front of her, she realized how much her body wanted it.

"You ready to go?"

"Yeah,"

"Cool," he lead her over to the sedan he had arrived in.

"So, what do you do Simon?" Rudee asked after she settled in and he got into
the driver's seat.

"I'm a computer programmer," he said, turning on the car with the key crystal
and rising smoothly into the air.

"Oh, that's interesting. I'm terrible with computers. I have a knowledge
spirit so I never really learned how to use one properly because it just
works them for me," she said. It was sort of true. Though she did write
plenty of code to analyze her data, she used Anuman for all her day-to-day
interactions with computers.

"Oh that's cool, what's it's name?"

"Anuman. Hold on, it might say hi to you, but maybe not. It doesn't really like
people who don't speak Thai." She muttered something under her breath and
the chip of jade set in the black choker she wore began to glow softly.
A formless ball of light, not unlike the mage-lights that Simon had placed on the
outside of the car, moved out of the jade.

"Hello Simon Cooper," the ball of light said.

"Hi Anuman, I'm sorry I don't speak Thai."

"Rudee exaggerates my language preference. Besides, I am glad she is meeting
someone else who knows about computers. Maybe now she will not be asking me to
do everything for her." With that, the spirit withdrew back into its necklace.

"I think it likes you," Rudee informed him.

"Oh, I'll take your word for it. It can be hard to tell with knowledge spirits."
Simon had helped several knowledge spirits get set up to interface with various
computer systems over the years, so he was familiar with their somewhat prickly
personalities. "So you're Thai then? Are you from Thailand or did you grow up
here?" He was guessing the former based on her slight accent, but he wanted to
ask anyway.

"I grew up in Bangkok. I came here for college, and then just kinda stayed for
grad school."

"That's cool. How do you like it?"

"America is great. I mean there are definitely a lot of problems and stuff, but
I've enjoyed my time here. People are nice, I get to do cool research, I don't
have to worry about demon hunters quite so much." She said this last lightly,
but there was an edge to her words.

"That's worse in Thailand?"

"Yeah, I mean it's not government sanctioned like in China or Pakistan, but the
government definitely doesn't seem to care about it that much. I mean I
kinda understand where they are coming from. My aspect is really scary,"

Simon's hands tightened on the steering wheel, "That doesn't make it right."

"Yeah, you're right. I mostly try not to think about it. If anyone ever comes
after me, I'm a pretty strong witch and I dueled a bunch in undergrad, so hopefully
I can deal with it."

"Oh yeah? I dueled quite a bit as well in college," he said.

Rudee was pretty surprised by that since he didn't feel nearly strong enough to
make a good magical dualist. She knew he had basically inexhaustible magical
reserves, but she doubted he would be able to keep up with anyone even moderately
strong. He was basically a hedge with a massive battery.

"I can sense your skepticism. I wasn't all that good, but better than you might
think. I pretty much exclusively did counter magic. Since I have to maintain
hundreds of spells constantly to bleed off mana, my spell control and will
are really strong. I'm pretty good at taking spells away from people."

"Oh, gotcha. That makes a lot of sense actually."

"What about you? What style do you prefer?"

"I'm kinda a brute actually. I try to hit people fast and hard enough that they
can't hit back. Basically exactly the annoying modern style that traditionalists
are always going on about,"

"Oh yeah, my sister really hates that style, I mean all military mages do really.
It is really strong though." Simon nodded.

"Yeah, I tried to adopt a more defensive style my senior year, but that's what
I'm good at really."

They continued to talk about dualing until they got to the restaurant and then
got out. Simon asked for a table and a moment later they were sitting down.
"Is this your first time here? Any recs?" Rudee asked.

"No, this is my first time. The kebab looks interesting though."

"You're right," they fell into silence while they read the menu a bit.

"So, what kind of research do you do?" Simon asked after a while.

"Magical theory, mostly uncharged dynamics. I'm working on trying to figure
out how to build a more efficient lunar mana reactor." Rudee explained.

"Oh, that's very cool. I guess that explains why my mage lights were such
a problem. Working with uncharged mana sounds really hard." Just like
mages, mana generally always has an aspect, but with some effort it could
be converted to a form that could take on any aspect. Once stabilized in
crystals, this uncharged mana could be used to power all manner of magical
artifice. It was the key to the modern economy. Outside of a stabilizing
crystal, uncharged mana was famously hard to maintain and even little
exposures to other magical influence could cause it to take on an aspect.

"Yeah, my experiments usually involve managing an uncharged core for
hours at a time."

"Wow, so is that a lot of rune work then?"

She nodded, "Yeah, for the stuff we're doing fresh research on, but
honestly I'm holding it in place manually a lot of the time since building
the runework would take too long for all the different configurations we
want to run."

"Oh wow, you must be really strong," Simon could tell that Rudee was
a powerful witch, but it was hard for a less powerful mage to gauge
the level of a stronger mage, so he wasn't really sure.

"Yeah, my lab doesn't hire anyone below a class three. I'm in the high end
of class four so I end up running a lot of the longer experiments since no
one else can." Rudee said, casually revealing that she was nearly an
archmage. There were a lot more class four mages than archmages, but it
was still uncommon enough that most people had never met one. There were
several class four mages in the Army Rangers unit that Simon's sister
was in, so Simon had met several, but he was still a bit surprised.

"Wow,"

"Yeah, well, one nice thing about demonic aspects is that mages with them
tend to be pretty strong, even if it is usually illegal to use our aspect.
I can only really do little things with my aspect." She snapped her fingers
and her dress shifted colors, turning a light lavender color and shifting
a bit. The new neckline hinted at cleavage without revealing any, and Simon
allowed himself a moment to appreciate the view. Rudee was pretty well endowed,
and the tight dress looked good on her.

"That's, ummm, pretty cool. I dunno, changing your clothes doesn't seem that
minor to me."

Rudee felt a thrill of pride at the slight delay in Simon's response. Her aspect
let her sense arousal, and he had definitely liked the change of wardrobe. It
was a sense she normally tried to ignore, but now she was suddenly glad of it.
"Well, I can't really do any clothes I want, just, well," she colored a bit,
"sexual clothes. This dress is, umm, kinda as normal as I can manage, but it's
hard."

Simon's eyes twinkled, "Well, I don't want you to strain yourself on my account."

Rudee wagged a finger in mock admonishment, "naughty."

Simon chuckled, "So you can change clothes, and obviously the more famous
succubus aspect stuff like stealing mana, shapeshifting, mind control,
all that sort of stuff."

"Yeah, all sorts of super villain stuff."

"Any other minor powers that you can use though?"

Rudee blushed, "I mean, like, a few, but they're kinda embarrassing."

Simon raised his hands, palm out, "Ok, ok, I won't pry... unless you want me to
pry?"

Rudee's blush deepened, but she said, "Well, I can, ummm, sense when people are
aroused, especially, well, especially when I'm why. I can also, umm figure out
what people, ummm, want."

"Like what turns them on?"

"Yeah, I mean, it's mind reading so I've never done it, but, like, I can feel
it, you know, it would be easy." Most magic had to be learned, but magic within
an aspect was instinctive and generally required no spells or runes. Mages just
knew what they could do and could do so with a thought.

"Would you do it if someone gave you consent?"

"Ummmm, yeah, I guess," Rudee could feel the heat growing between her legs. Her
aspect gave her a very high libido, and it didn't take much to get her going.
This conversation was quickly starting her engine.

"In that case, you can try it out on me any time," Simon made the offer casually.

"Oh, ummm, maybe I will." She was saved from having to decide to take a peek into
his sexual preferences right then and there by the arrival of their server. They
ordered food and drinks. They didn't pick up the same line of conversation after
the server had departed, instead talking about their general backgrounds and
probing, mostly unsuccessfully, for a shared musical interest.

They continued to chat for the rest of the meal, touching on the topic of pets
(Rudee wanted an update on Lucky and requested that he come next time), sports
(Simon was a college football fan and Rudee said she would try to learn about
it), and politics (neither of them was happy with the direction the country
was going).

At one point Rudee got up to go to the bathroom and noticed that her skirt had
grown a lot tighter and shorter and that her neckline had continued to creep down
until she was displaying a few inches of warm honey colored cleavage. She hadn't
lost control like this since high school, and she mentally smacked herself.
After a moment of debate with herself, she decided not to change her dress back
to the way it had been. She had felt a spike of arousal from Simon when she
had stood up and he had been given a view of her body from a fresh angle, and
she found that she wanted to sense that again.

After they finished their meal, they walked back to landing pad behind the
restaurant and got in the car. They continued to chat as Simon lifted off and
headed back towards Rudee's house. When he landed, he got out and walked her
to the door, but she didn't go in immediately. "Well, this was really fun,
I'd like to do it again."

"Yeah," Rudee's mind swirled, but she felt paralyzed. It was a relief when
Simon bent down and wrapped a hand around her head, tilting her face up so
he could plant a kiss on her plump lips. As soon as they made contact,
Rudee could feel the vast ocean of mana within Simon, and knew she could
draw it out of him, but still, she held back.

When he pulled back she was breathing hard, "You, ummm, want to come
in?"

"Let's take this slow, I want to be here for the long haul."

"Ummm, yeah, good idea, ummm, bye Simon."

"Bye Rudee."

As Simon was leaving, Rudee finally allowed herself to peek into his
fantasies. She was surprised by what she found, but the quick flash
of his fantasies before he lifted off only intensified the heat
between her legs. She ran inside and made a beeline for her bedroom,
summoning her vibrator to herself with a well practiced charm and
sliding her panties down so she could plunge it into her needy
snatch. It didn't take her long to achieve orgasm as her own fantasies
mirrored the ones she had just seen, with herself playing a starring
role.

=================================================================================

Simon and Rudee made plans to meet up again, but then Rudee's experimental
schedule entered a crunch period when a few experimental runs failed and she
had to collect data for a looming deadline, so she had to delay by a few
weeks. She found that her date with Simon had completely shattered the control
she held over her aspect. She would often find that her clothes had become
tighter or smaller or both after she worked for a while. The images she had
glimpsed when she peeked into Simon's mind kept bubbling up to the surface
and she took to wearing earrings nearly every day almost without noticing it.
One day, she came home and realized that the choker that she kept Anuman's
stone on had thickened and turned to leather, sprouting a series of black
metal spikes. She found herself browsing through Instagram photos of tattoos
before she fell asleep. She didn't think Simon realized just how deep she
could go with her mind reading magic, and indeed she had been surprised
herself by just how much she had gotten from that one glimpse.

When Rudee finally had a gap in her experimental schedule, they made plans
for a picnic because Rudee wanted another chance to spend time with Lucky.
She made a light chicken and onion dish and packed up a Tupperware of
rice, while Simon brought a batch of cookies he had made and a bag of
oranges. He picked her up again and flew off to land on a small hill
behind his sister's ranch. Rudee could feel his desire spike as soon as
he saw her, and he kept glancing over at her as they flew. She'd chosen
the chunky boots, black mini skirt, pig tails and tight leather jacket
specifically to pluck at the strings of his desires that she had
glimpsed at the end of their last date. It seemed to be working.

They laid out a blanket and threw Lucky's ball for him for a few minutes
before opening up their food. The friendly mutt stopped playing with his
ball and eyed the food forlornly as soon as they started to open containers.
"Can I give him some?" Rudee asked.

"Let's make him wait a bit longer, he's being good not coming onto the
blanket, but he should be patient for a bit longer. Good boy Lucky,
good stay." Simon said.

Rudee nodded in acceptance and turned to look down the shrubby slope of the
hill. "It's beautiful up here."

"Yeah, this has been one of my favorite spots ever since Megan first invited
me out here."

"Can I give it to him now." Simon nodded and Rudee grinned, "Here you go Lucky,
good boy, good stay." She handed him a chunk of chicken and he snapped it up
then looked at her with a happy almost-grin, his tongue lolling out eagerly.
"Oh, you're such a cutie Lucky!" Turning to Simon she asked, "can I take him
home? Not for long, just for like, I don't know, a month?"

Simon chuckled, "I'm sure he would love that, but I'm too selfish to allow it."

Rudee sighed forlornly, "well, then I guess I'll just have to keep pretending to
like you so I can keep seeing your dog."

"The stones weep to hear it, I'm sorry you have such a trying experience ahead
of you."

"Thank you, thank you," Rudee grinned. Squirming closer to Simon by rocking her
butt back and forth on the blanket until her knee was half a centimeter from
his thigh, she peered into his bowl. "What do you think?"

"Oh, I haven't had a chance to try it yet, hold on," he took a bite of the
chicken and rice dish, "oh wow, that's so good. It's really light. How did
you make it?"

"I just boiled some chicken and then shredded it by hand. The other stuff you
see in there isn't even cooked, I just chopped it up and threw it in."

"Wow, it's so much lighter than an American chicken salad. So I assume this is
a Thai dish?" he asked.

"Actually, I kinda just found it on YouTube. I don't even
know if it is Thai. Don't tell my aunties."

Simon pantomimed turning a key in his lips and throwing it away.

They continued to talk as they ate. Simon told a few funny stories about
Lucky, and Rudee laughed at the friendly mutt's antics, never missing an
opportunity to lean her hand on Simon's thigh as she laughed. Simon asked
hobbies and Rudee said that she kept a lot of house plants and had started
a small garden, but didn't feel like she had time to take on much more.
By the time Rudee had turned the question around and Simon was talking
about amateur astronomy, they had gotten even closer together and Rudee's
left ankle was crossed over Simon's right.

After they finished eating, they set down their bowls and Rudee allowed
herself to peer into Simon's desires once again. She bit her lip as she
suddenly realized just how much attention he was paying to each and every
point of contact between their bodies. At the surface level, he was mostly
focused on the contact between their legs and the way her large bust was
pressing out against her jacket, but when she drilled down deeper, she
could see another version of herself overlaid in Simon's vision, one where
she had a lot more piercings than the two black stud earrings she currently
had dangling from her earlobes and the skin of her bare legs was covered
in splashes of colorful ink. She could have used an illusion spell to
make his fantasies come true, but she wanted to wait until she could
use her aspect.

Laying back on the blanket, Rudee pointed up, "what do you think that
cloud looks like?" Being able to read his mind and see just how much
he wanted her made her feel suddenly confident and bold.

Simon lay down next to her, "what cloud?" he asked in confusion.

Rudee rolled on top of him, "I may have lied a little bit about
the cloud." She made a gesture and a privacy screen shimmered into
existence around the blanket. The spell disrupted Simon's grip on
his mage lights with a casual strength, and Simon was reminded that
a class four mage was nearly as terrifyingly strong as an archmage.
"I've been thinking about you a lot since our last date you know."
Her lips were inches away from Simon's.

"Oh yeah?" Her eyes were so large and dark.

"Yeah," she ran her hands over his arms, then started moving them
counter-cyclically, bringing one arm up to worm her fingers into
his hair and one down to linger at his hip. She leaned down to
kiss him, letting her lips longer on his as they moved against
one another. The heat between her legs, which had been building for
some time, now took on a fresh urgency. Involuntarily, Rudee let
out a soft moan. Breaking off the kiss she said, "I can taste your
mana."

Simon slid his hands over her back, feeling the cool leather of
her jacket beneath his palms. "You want it?"

"Yes," she could sense that he would respond well if she were to
just take it, but the rituals of consent still felt important,
especially for something like this. "Can I take a little?"

"Please do, it's already starting to hurt more since you cut off
my lights."

"Oh, sorry about that. Maybe I can kiss it better?" She grinned
and moved down to kiss him once more. This time she finally allowed
herself to sip from the vast well of power she could sense within
Simon. Rudee was no stranger to magical power, being in the 99th
percentile of mages in terms of strength, but the ocean of Simon's
power made her feel small. He would have been an archmage of the
highest order if he was able to express his magic fully. His mana
hit her hard, making all of the sensations of pleasure she was
experiencing even more intense. It was so good that she never wanted
to stop, which is why she did so almost immediately. "Are you ok?
How did that feel?" She already kinda knew the answer since she
was sensing his desires, but wanted to make sure she wasn't missing
anything.

"Oh my god, I feel amazing. I almost don't feel pain from mana
oversupply. Can you please take more though?"

"Ok, but tell me if it ever gets to be too much. I'll stop as soon
as you tell me to."

"I will," his hand dropped down to slide under her skirt, "no
panties?"

All of a sudden, the confidence that Rudee had felt cracked, and
the fact of her virginity loomed large in her
mind, "I ummm," his fingers found her lower lips and she gasped.
Simon grinned. Rudee's brief moment of hesitation passed and she
fell on him with an abrupt urgency, kissing him hard and drawing
magic from him in big gobs. She could feel his mana flooding her
body, and knew instinctively that the stolen mana was not quite
the same as her own. She knew she could convert it at a loss into
ordinary mana, but in its raw form it she could feel it was pregnant
with new possibilities for her aspect. Her understanding of Simon's
desires crystallized and sharpened and all anxiety about her
inexperience vanished as magical instincts came to the fore.

Rudee sat up and wriggled her hips down over Simon's. She raised
her hands and slowly began tugging down the zipper of her jacket,
revealing a few inches of cleavage and then stopping. "I'm going
to put your mana to good use," she told him. Slowly, but quickly
enough to watch, her breasts began to expand, making the zipper
creep steadily lower and lower. Simon could feel her butt shifting
against his pelvis at the same time. All of a sudden, the zipper
crossed some inflection point and shot down to her navel. Her
breasts burst forward, thrusting the jacket aside and bouncing
out into the open. It was now clear that Rudee had been wearing
nothing beneath the jacket save for a few strips of electrical
tape crossed over each nipple. Rudee had been a fairly busty
girl to begin with, her D cups looking large on her otherwise
petite frame, but now her breasts had doubled in sized and looked
absolutely massive.

Rudee hefted one of her heavy breasts and extended a long tongue
to lick it. At the sight of her tongue, Simon's cock throbbed.
It wasn't impossibly long, but it definitely went right up to
the edge and lent her a dangerous aura that reminded him that
she was a powerful witch with a demonic aspect. Her eyes began
to glow a soft red, and she raised her hips so that when she
snapped her fingers his clothes could more easily fly off of
him. When she did so, Simon noticed that her fingernails were
now long, black, sharp and thicker than a normal woman's nails
would ever be. "You like?" she asked pressing her boobs together
and presenting them to him. "You think I should make them bigger?"

Simon had always had a attraction for large breasts, some might
even say exceptionally large breasts. He had never really been
prepared for a woman to ask him so frankly if he wanted her breasts
to be larger though, so he only managed, "I, umm, well-"

Rudee cut him off by placing one clawed fingertip over his mouth.
"I know you do, I know exactly what you want. Don't worry, you're
not going to scare me off. You have no idea how long I've been
wishing I could use my aspect fully." She reached down and lined his
dick up with her sopping pussy. Lowering her weight onto him,
she gasped as he entered her. Slick with her own juices, she
easily slid down to fully engulf his shaft. In truth, she was
a little disappointed by the size of him, having been going
through ever increasingly sized dildos since virtually the moment
she hit puberty and her aspect made itself known. Instinctively
though, she knew it was a problem easily addressed with a little
more stolen mana.

She was running a bit low on stolen mana, so she reached out
through the place where their bodies joined and drew more of
Simon's magic into herself. She was shocked by how fast it
flowed. She'd been able to steal a lot with a kiss, but sex
seemed to take it to a whole new level. She doubted an ordinary
man could have survived this kind of mana theft for more than
a few tens of seconds, but it still felt like slow headway
in the face of Simon's vast power. She turned some of that
power back on her lover, making his dick swell within her.

Simon gripped her hips and lent force to her as she rode
him. At one point he looked down at saw that a length of
his shaft longer than he was used to seeing his entire
erect penis was exposed between them while it felt like
he was only half buried. The sight, and the realization
of what Rudee had done to him, lent him renewed passion
and he started slamming her up and down on his dick,
lifting her 100 pound frame with only minor strain as
his lover flooded his body with magical strength. Atop
him, Rudee's eyes were wild with passion as she gasped
and moaned. It didn't take long before her quim began
convulsing around his engorged shaft as the helpless
noises of pleasure she was making reached a crescendo.
At this, Simon's balls convulsed and he jetted up into
her, his grip on her waist tightening spasmodically as
he bucked up into her.

Rudee gave him an unfocused grin and leaned down to
press her forehead against his.

"Rudee?"

"Yeah?"

"Are, you, umm, on birth control? I'm sorry I didn't bring it
up earlier."

"I'm not, but my aspect makes me infertile. If you want to knock
me up, you're going to have to jerk off in a cup and get a
doctor to artificially inseminate me while I suppress my aspect.
It also makes me immune to STDs, so that's not really a concern
either. My body is optimized for sin, remember?" she giggled.

"Oh, umm, that's good."

"That my body is optimized for sin? I know. I've never done it
before, but I find that I quite like it."

"That was your first time?" Simon asked in surprise. "You seemed
so confident."

"Oh, I guess it's easy to be confident when I know exactly what you
want. I've also had a lot of practice in my head." She grinned.

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah," she raised her hips, sliding off of his dick and then rolling
to the side.

"Holy, shit, what did you do to my dick?" Simon asked, finally getting
a chance to see it in its new enormity. He had been fairly average, or
perhaps even a bit shorter than average before they had sex, but now his
cock had become an absolute monster. At least a foot long and thicker
than his wrist, it flopped down onto his thigh with noticeable weight.

"I may be a bit of a size queen, I hope it's ok." If it were not for her
aspect, there was no way Rudee's tight pussy could have stretched to
accommodate the massive member she had cooked up for herself. The idea
that she had just made it mechanically impossible for Simon to be with
another woman sent a thrill of pride through Rudee. She pressed the tips
of her claws lightly down into Simon's chest possessively.

"Jeez, how did that not split you in half?"

"My aspect, obviously,"

"Obviously," he nodded.

"Speaking of, how are you feeling?"

"Amazing, better than I have since my magic came in. Seriously, I think
I had stopped noticing how much chronic pain I was in, but now that it
is gone it's like this massive weight I hadn't even realized was there
is gone."

Rudee snuggled closer to him. "Good. I'm glad I didn't hurt you."

"How are you feeling? This is the first time you've really used that part
of your aspect, right?"

"Mmmmmm, yeah. I feel amazing as well honestly. I've got so much energy
and power. There are all these things my aspect lets me do that I couldn't
do with my own mana, but I can experiment now."

"Oh yeah, like what?" he asked.

"Well, shape shifting. I already did that a little, but I've always wanted
to be taller." As she spoke, her body started to shift against Simon's,
stretching longer and making her head slide up and her shoulder nestle more
firmly beneath his armpit. She sat up and straddled him once more, "and I
can tell you wouldn't mind if my boobs got even bigger."

"You don't have to,"

She pressed a clawed finger to his lips, "Shhhhh, don't deny you want to
see it." Her breasts and butt began to swell, reaching the size of basketballs
and then pushing onward until each of her bloated tits was fully a foot in
diameter. Each of the Thai witch's massive boobs was thicker around than her
slender waist. Beneath her, she could feel Simon stiffen once more. "Someone
wants to go again," she chuckled squeezing his shaft with her bulging butt.
"I don't think that's a good idea though. We should probably give you a chance
to fill up on mana again."

"I'm still pretty full." It was true. Despite the fact that she had stolen
more mana than she possessed by herself, she had only taken a small chunk of
Simon's power. Considering that she was class four, it was pretty impressive.

"Still, I want to play it safe."

Simon groaned, "Fine, that's smart."

"And we should make sure Lucky hasn't gotten too far."

"He'll be fine, he knows not to go too far." Simon said, but in Rudee was right.

Rudee rose to her feet and picked up her jacket. Through it all, she had never
actually taken off her skirt or boots, but her skirt no longer did anything to
provide any modesty at all. It had been quite short to begin with, but after
her buttocks had grown to the size of a couple of small watermelons and her
hips had widened, her skirt had rolled up and bunched around her still narrow
waist like a belt. Her slick pussy was still entirely exposed. She tried to
roll her skirt back down without much success. Her dump truck ass was just too
big for the overmatched garment to fit over. She giggled at her own failure,
"Simon, does this skirt make my ass look phat?" She pointed her butt at him
and ran her tongue along the inside of her front teeth as she savored the spike
of desire she sensed from him.

"I, umm, you look," his rule about never telling a woman she looked fat in
anything warred with the obvious reality. "You look really good?"

Rudee smirked at the way he was so obviously flustered. "I guess I need to
use some more transformation," she slid her hands over her butt and the
skirt stretched just far enough to get down over her ass and cover a
few meager inches of thigh. Simon seemed a bit distracted while he got
dressed, probably because Rudee turned to face him and kept trying to
zip her jacket over her hopelessly oversize boobs, stuffing and squeezing
to no avail. When he finally finished dressing his once loose pants were
much tighter in the crotch. Rudee looked at him and then down at her chest,
"I guess this jacket won't work anymore," she pouted and cupped her hands
over her nipples to form a handbra. With that she dismissed the privacy
spell.

Lucky immediately bounded over to them, wagging his tail furiously,
"Awww, did you miss us bud?" Rudee laughed, switching to covering
herself with one hand and bending down so she could pet him. Simon
came over to join in. At one point Lucky made as if to jump up, but
Simon snapped his fingers and interrupted Lucky's eagerness.

"Alright, this is a little impractical," Rudee's jacket grew and shifted
until she could zip it up over her bust, though she did leave the zipper
down far enough so that there was still plenty of cleavage on display.
She walked over to Simon and wrapped him in a hug, noticing to her annoyance
that he was actually shorter than her after her growth spurt. With the
boost she got from her heels, the top of his head was level with her
lips. "Thanks for the mana," she bent down and nibbled his ear.

Simon hadn't quite registered just how much Rudee had grown until she
stood up, but now it was clear that the petite woman he had picked up
was now a real amazon. "Any time," at this height, her massive boobs
were conveniently located so he could just bend down and kiss her
warm golden skin.

"You want to walk around a bit?" Rudee asked.

"Sure,"

"Ok, let me just clean up," she muttered and made a few sharp gestures and the
blanket and dishes stowed themselves away and hovered outside Simon's trunk.
He activated his control crystal and the picnic items floated inside as his
trunk opened. It was a casual display of power that most people would have
avoided, but for a class four mage, it wasn't much of a strain, especially now
that she was pumped up with stolen mana.

They joined hands and began walking off over the grass. The ground was uneven
and Simon asked if Rudee really wanted to do this in heels, but she said that
her aspect made her pretty comfortable in heels or anything else that was meant
to make her attractive.

"Can you summon hellfire?" Simon asked as they walked.

"I think I can now. Succubus mages don't have nearly as much demonic juice
as other demonic aspect mages unless we steal mana. That's why there have
been a lot of parts of my aspect that I haven't been able to explore until
now. Let's see," she held up a hand and a malevolent green flame sprang into
being in her palm.

Simon shied away from the sudden heat, "whoa."

"Sorry. First time." Rudee gave an apologetic smile and dismissed the fire.

"It's fine, it was just really hot, that's all."

"Oh, I didn't notice. If I'm getting fire and heat resistance I guess my demonic
aspect really is fully awakened. This might be useful in the lab actually."

They continued walking around for a while as Rudee explored new aspects of
demonic magic that she had read about but never had the power to actually
exercise herself. They wandered around mostly aimlessly, but had reached nearly
the bottom of the hill when twilight had begun to fall. "We should probably
head back. I don't want people thinking I'm the kind of guy who keeps girls
out to late."

"Oh, we wouldn't want that. My roommate is basically a toxicly masculine
1950s dad in the body of a 25 year old woman."

"Oh, should I be worried? Is she going to be charging her wand menacingly
when I bring you home?"

"Oh, definitely. She'll probably make some opaque but menacing comments
about how good with a shovel she is too." Rudee grinned. "I'd be worried
if I were you, after all, you did just take my virginity, corrupting her
pure, innocent daughter."

Simon chuckled, "You're a lot of things Rudee, but I'm not sure I would
put pure or innocent on the list."

Rudee opened her mouth in mock offense, "I can't believe you just said that
to me! I'll have you know I was voted purest and most innocent succubus
of the year!"

"Mmmmmmmmm, hmmmmmm." Simon looked skeptical, "Hey, umm, Rudee?"

"Yeah?"

"You, ummm, you've made yourself look pretty different."

She paused and looked down at her absurdly voluptuous figure, "Oh, thanks for
noticing!"

"Well, I'm just, please don't take it the wrong way, but I'm just a little
worried about your motivations. From some of the things you've said, it sounded
like you were doing it for, well, for me, and you know, obviously I think you
look amazing, but I'm worried that their might be other consequences."

Rudee's playful energy melted away, "That's a good point. I've been pretty caught
up in it all." She hefted her massive jugs, "they are a bit much aren't they?"

"Well, I mean, I think-"

"Oh hush, I know *you* love 'em, but you're right. They're maybe not the most
professional. I mean if people see me they are going to think sex doll not
scientist." She frowned.

"Well, you could shrink a little right?"

"Awwwwww, but I just got them!" she pouted. "Hmmm, ummm, I guess there's always
illusion clothes. Lots of people do that."

"Yeah, Megan told me she pretty much only owns sweats and yoga pants in terms of
civilian clothing, but she always looks like she's keeping up with the fashion
trends." Illusory clothing was an extravagance of power that only mages of class
three and above could really afford, and lots of people who could have afforded
the mana cost avoided it to save energy or so they didn't have to worry about
people piercing their glamour.

"Hmmm, let's see, illusion is part of my aspect so I shouldn't need a spell for
this. I haven't had the time to study up on it which is why I haven't really
done it before. Now you've given me enough juice." She raised her hands over
her face and brought them down in a sweeping motion over her body. When her
hands fell to her side, she appeared to be wearing a loose ankle-length
sundress with a high neckline and a broad brimmed sun hat. Her jaw dropping
curves had disappeared, leaving her not much curvier than she had been when
they first met. She still had a body that would make most women jealous, but
she was no longer obviously designed for sex. With her curves hidden, it was
even more obvious just how tall Rudee had made herself. With her heels she
was about 6'6", and without the distraction of her curves she was evocative
of a particularly tall fashion model. "What do you think? Safe for
work?"

Simon nodded. In truth he was a little sad to see Rudee's hyper-sexualized
figure hidden, though it was still a thrill to know it was still there.

Rudee could sense the way Simon's desires responded to the masking of her
body. *That won't do at all. I want him to be obsessed with me.* "One more
thing," she stepped up to him and kissed his eyelids, bending down slightly
to do so. When she pulled back, the illusion had disappeared and her stupendous
curves were once again back in the picture. "Now you can see through the illusion,"
she explained. "I gotta keep your eyes on the prize."

"I'm going to end up at a dinner part having to pretend you're wearing something
more than thong at some point, aren't I?"

Rudee gasped, "why Simon, what a scandalous suggestion! And only on our second date!
What kind of a girl do you take me for?"

"Sorry,"

Rudee giggled, "obviously I would also be wearing a bra at least."

"Right, much more proper."

"Mmmmmmm, yes, quite, quite," Rudee adopted a fake upper class British accent.

By the time they got back to the car, the sun had fully set and Simon had
brought his magelights back into existence. He had enjoyed the unfamiliar
luxury of not having to sustain them ever since Rudee had stolen enough of
his mana to prevent overload, but now they actually had a good reason for
existing. The lights spread out around them in a cloud, painting the scene
in a multitude of shifting hews. Rudee gasped when they first came out and
began twining through complex patterns as Simon showed off a bit. Lucky
liked playing chase-the-light, so Simon had lead him around in circles
as they walked up to the top of the hill.

After they flew back to Rudee's house, she didn't immediately get out of the
car. "This was incredible Simon. I want to do it again. Soon." She leaned
over and kissed him.

"Take some more mana. I can already feel it building up. I don't know if I
can last until next time I see you without overloading again."

Rudee grinned, "I'm not going to say no to that." She kissed him again,
drawing out as much mana as she could manage while they kissed. "I don't know
though, maybe I should leave you a reason to want to see me again."

"Don't worry, you've definitely done that," he didn't mean to, but as he
said it, his eyes flicked down to her cleavage.

Rudee caught the glance and snickered, "Yeah, I bet." She kissed him again,
then turned and got out of the car. "Bye Lucky!" she waved into the back seat.

=================================================================================

"You're seeing him again? I thought we were doing house dinner tonight! He
already turned you into a giraffe last night, what's he gonna do this time!?!"
Mini protested when Rudee told her that she had changed plans.

"Hey, I'm not a giraffe!"

"Mmmmmmm, I don't know about that one Rudee. You grew like 14 inches. I'm
sorry, but I talked to everyone. We had a little get-together, you know.
Anyway, we talked it over, everyone who knows you that is, and we agreed
that you're a giraffe now." Mini said it like she was breaking some hard
news to a long time confidant.

"Whatever, fine, I'm a giraffe now. The point is that Simon has a medical
condition, and he said it's already starting to hurt again, so I don't
think I can wait another night." Rudee explained.

"He has a medical condition and the only cure is, umm,"

"having sex with me, you can say it." Rudee grinned as her roommate turned
scarlet.

"Are you sure he's not, like, I dunno, lying about it or something. You know
guys will say anything for sex."

Rudee shook her head, "no, I would definitely know. He's not lying."

"How do you- you know what, forget I asked. I don't want to know how you
know."

"Besides, I kinda made it so he can't have sex with anyone but me because
I-"

"LALALALALALALALALALALALAL" Mini yelled, sticking her fingers in her ears.

Rudee giggled, "You're cute when you blush Mini. If only you also produced
way too much mana to spend yourself."

Mini rolled her eyes, "you ho."

Rudee laughed and waggled her eyebrows suggestively, sliding an long and
unsettlingly dexterous tongue out from between her plump lips and licking
them.

"Ahh, you're so gross."

"Guilty as charged. Actually, what if I invite Simon here for dinner.
I've told him you're a very scary protector of my honor-"

"That would require something to protect," Mini interjected.

Rudee flipped her off but continued, "so I'm sure he would like to meet
you. Plus, he has the absolute best pupper."

"Oh, you should have lead with that. I guess I'm in."

"Great, I'll call him."


"Hey Rudee?"

"Yeah?"

"Do those shoes really go with the rest of your outfit? I mean what are
those, like six inch heels?" Mini pointed to the aggressive strappy sandals
that Rudee's magic was convincing her were there. She was right, they were
a bit incongruous paired with the casual jeans and loose t-shirt the rest of her
illusion presented.

"You think? I like them." In reality, Rudee wasn't wearing sandals at all, but
rather thigh high black fuck-me boots which fit quite well with what she was really
wearing. She hadn't wanted to try making herself seem six inches shorter than she
really stood with all the limb-length and position adjustment that implied, so she'd
given herself illusory shoes with a matching heel.

"Ok, I guess Simon has a thing for giraffes then?"

Rudee stuck out her tongue at Mini but didn't say anything more.


When Simon arrived a few minutes minutes later, Mini opened the door, "Hi,
I'm Mini."

"I've heard a lot about you. Is it ok if Lucky comes inside?" The dog in
question was sitting next to Simon practically vibrating with eagerness
to beg for affection from the new person, but held in place by the rules
he had been trained to follow. Even in his sitting position, his tail
waggled violently back and forth.

"Oh, yeah, of course. Aren't you just the cutest thing!" she bent down.

"Ok Lucky," as soon as Simon let him know it he was allowed to say hi
to Mini, the dog shot forward and immediately pressed himself up against
her legs. "I think he likes you," Simon laughed.

"Lucky you slut! I thought we had something!" Rudee called, stepping into
the hall. As soon as she came into view, Simon's gaze locked onto her.

Mini kept playing with Lucky for a bit, but then she noticed the way
Simon was staring over her shoulder. She looked over at her roommate
in confusion. Why did Simon seem so surprised by the sight of Rudee?
Hadn't he just seen her the previous night?

Rudee brushed past Mini and leaned down to give Simon a kiss. The gleaming
copper of her top dug into his chest as she made contact. As soon
as her lips touched his, she began gulping down his mana. "Why isn't your
roommate freaking out?" Simon whispered in her ear.

"What do you mean, why would she?" Rudee asked giving him a shit-eating
grin. She pulled back and spoke louder, "Come on, let's put you to work,
I need a kitchen helper."

Simon followed his amazonian lover back into the kitchen. Now that he had
had a bit of a chance to adjust, he managed to play it cool while Mini
was still in the room, but as soon as they turned a corner, he allowed
himself to openly oogle Rudee. She wore a set of fuck-me boots
that covered more of her thighs than the tiny black skirt she wore.
Rather than an ordinary top, she wore a pair of skeletal copper hands, each
large enough to wrap around her waist, magically suspended to grip and
support each of her heavy breasts. It was an outfit only a very powerful
mage could have worn, especially considering the mass of her bust.
Nothing was really concealed by the outfit, and Simon saw that she had
placed a couple of golden bars through her thick nipples.

Seeing where his eyes had gone Rudee asked, "like my new piercings?"

Simon was saved from answering when Mini came into the room and walked
over to resume working on some half-chopped carrots.

"Ummm, what, umm, should I do," Simon dragged his gaze up to meet Rudee's
mischievous grin with considerable effort. It didn't help that he had just
realized that the hands were moving, slowly hefting and squeezing Rudee's
breasts.

"Can you crush and peel some garlic for me? We like to use a lot of garlic."
Rudee replied.

"*You* like to use a lot of garlic," Mini waved her knife vaguely in their
direction.

"You'll come around. Besides, Simon is my guest, so I get to decide how much
garlic we use. Those are the rules," Rudee declared.

"Oh really?"

Simon listened to them as they continued to banter, finding a broad bladed
knife and setting to work on the garlic that Rudee had pointed him towards.
He realized that the dish they were creating was going to be pretty complex.
There were lots of components, but Rudee seemed to navigate it with casual
skill. She kept lots of balls in the air all while chatting pleasantly or
making fun of Mini. Through it all, Lucky watched everything, mostly staying
out from under foot, but occasionally turning his nose up to take in the
scent of the ingredients.

One of the balls Rudee seemed to be keeping in the air was Simon's sense
of arousal. Whenever he managed to focus enough on his current task, she
would appear at his side and give him some 'pointers' on his technique
that were really just an excuse to wrap her boobs around his bicep or
touch him on the arm and steal a little bit of mana, a process that always
seemed to make his arousal spike. He was glad he had thought ahead and
worn spandex shorts under some baggy pants. The shorts kept his new
monstrous cock in check so it didn't rise up like a flagpole and
make an obvious dent. Despite the setup, walking with a foot long log
rubbing on the inside of his right thigh and constantly trying to escape
its prison was not easy. Rudee obviously knew exactly what she was doing
since she would shoot him evil grins and make her copper hands mash her
boobs when Mini was looking somewhere else.

All of a sudden, Rudee was assembling the final plates, arranging vegetables
around cold noodles in an artistic pattern that gave the dish a colorful
presentation. "Ok, I think these are pretty much ready. You guys want to
head out to the back porch?"

They followed her out and sat down to eat. Mini asked about Simon's job and
he did his best to explain it while Rudee mercilessly distracted him by
making sex faces and eating in an exaggeratedly sensual way. At one point
he snapped at her, "will you cut it out?"

"What?" Rudee asked innocently.

"Mini, help me out here, she's eating those noodles in a really pervy
way,"

"Really? I haven't noticed." Mini seemed genuinely confused.

Rudee gave him an evil grin and mouthed the word "illusion" at him, "Yeah,
I don't know what you're talking about. I think you're just making things
up because you're hormonal or something." She rolled her eyes theatrically,
"men!"

Mini narrowed her eyes, "you're fucking with him aren't you Rudee."

"Who? Me? Would I do that?" Rudee asked eyes wide. She brought her
her hands to her nipples and started playing with them. Apparently
Mini was totally unaware.

"Ok, you know what, I'm taking Lucky for a walk," Mini picked up
her bowl, "come on Lucky."

"Wait, there's a leash in my trunk," Simon threw Mini his key crystal.

"Thanks," she turned and left.

Lucky looked at Simon questioningly. "Go on boy, go, go, you're ok."
Simon gestured after Mini and Lucky turned to follow her.

After Mini left Simon hissed at Rudee, "I can't believe you! This is
worse than that joke I made last night."

"I know, I've been a vewy vewy bad girl," she made a casual gesture and
the screens that kept the bugs out of the porch blurred as a privacy barrier
enveloped the whole porch.

"Yes, you really have. We didn't even get to finish dinner."

"Mmmmmm, I know, just totally horrible," she bit her lip, "you know maybe
you should punish me, just so I learn my lesson, you know. So I don't
do it again." She got up and started walking slowly towards him, a
hungry light in her eyes.

"Yeah, maybe I should," he stepped forward and brought his hands to
her breasts, rolling her nipples around with his thumbs. Rudee let out
a series of soft coos of delight as he massaged her breasts, and his
dick struggled mightily to escape its spandex prison. He was nearly unable
to, but with an effort of will, he managed to pull back, "maybe I'll punish
you by just letting you stew."

"But Simon," she whined, "that's letting me get off way too easy!" She
turned around and bent over, not having to move very far to make her
tiny skirt slide up far enough that Simon could clearly see the pink
of her pussy, "I mean, don't you think a more fitting punishment would
be to brutally and barbarically destroy my tiny, innocent pussy?"

Simon gulped, staring down at the Thai witch's stupendous ass. His
dick was like a chained beast. "Or if you'd prefer, you can see
how far down my throat you can fit that monster of yours. It's
your choice since I'm the one getting punished for my bad behavior.
You're totally in control of me."

Simon didn't feel particularly in control as he shoved his pants
down with a grunt and grabbed her by the waist. He thrust into
her, but within just a few pumps, all that edging caught up with
him and he jetted into her. Rudee had been just getting into it,
so she was pretty annoyed by how quickly Simon came. Fortunately,
her aspect was well suited to help her out. She channeled some of
the mana she was stealing back into Simon's body, keeping his dick
hard and bolstering his stamina. "That was hardly any punishment
at all!" she whined.

"Shut up!" he started slamming her hips into his own again and
Rudee let out a satisfied moan as she continued to draw great
gobs of power from her lover. It was incredible, but she thought
it could probably be better. Reshaping Simon's body was a lot
harder than her own, but with all the power she was taking she
didn't mind the inefficiency. She had plenty of power to spare.
With every thrust, Simon grew a little larger. When he had first
taken her, Rudee had had to bend her knees a bit to give him access to
her snatch, but as he rose taller and taller she straightened them
out and then felt her legs lifted off the floor as Simon picked her
up to keep her lined up with his rising dick without seeming to
notice her weight. Rudee didn't make Simon grow proportionally.
He was already pretty muscular, but he bulked up massively under
her magic, going from looking like someone really into crossfit
to a hulking, brutish figure. His biceps swelled to the size his
thighs used to be and his chest exploded with muscle, shredding
his shirt as he grew. His dick also grew faster than the rest of
him, cementing the impossibility of it entering anyone but a girl
with Rudee's advantages.

Rudee's moans tested the sound proofing of her privacy spell as
Simon's motions took on a more brutal power. The hulking man
seemed to have grown more animalistic as he had grow, and his
powerful thrusts kept the succubus mage wrapped around his cock
seemed to thoroughly enjoy this new energy in her lover. She
had lost track of her orgasms by the time his balls pulsed for
a second time, filling her womb with cum and making the white
fluid ooze out of her overfull snatch only to get quickly
sucked into her greedy flesh as it dribbled down the inside
of her thighs.

"W-what did you do to me?" Simon asked, realizing for the first
time just how huge he had gotten.

"I liked our old size ratio," Rudee explained. "I can shrink
you back down if you like."

Simon looked at his new bulging muscles, "I look like some
sort of crazy bodybuilder. Isn't this a bit much?"

Rudee bit her lip, "mmmm, definitely not for me."

"And this," he picked up his 16 inch cock, "I mean, where am I going
to put it?"

"Obviously-"

"Don't say it. You really are a massive pervert, you know that?"

"Oh, obviously," she grinned.

"Can you summon some clothes for me?"

"Sure!" she snapped her fingers and a pair of tight leather pants
popped into being to replace Simons' shredded pants.

"And a shirt?"

"But, but," she made puppy eyes at him, "uggg, fine." An extremely
tight white t-shirt lovingly hugged his muscles a moment later.

"Can you give yourself some clothes too? And pervy skeleton hands
do not count as clothes!"

"You're just no fun at all," she waved her hand and was wearing a tight
crop-top and high-wasted skinny jeans a moment later.

"Don't you feel bad for poor Mini? You chased her away with your antics."

Rudee cocked her head, "Did I though? Did I?"

"Yes!"

"Hmmmm, well, maybe your right. Worth though."

"You realize how this makes me look right?" He shook his head.

"Mmmmmm, yeah, especially because before you I was very much a private
pervert, so it probably seems like you swooped in an corrupted me. How
could you do that? Take an innocent girl who probably didn't even know
what sex is and just turn her into, well," she looked down at herself
with mock wariness, "some kind of hussy!"

"You're having way too much fun with this."

She smiled sweetly, "don't pretend you aren't. I can feel it."

"Maybe I shouldn't have given you permission to use your pervy mind reading
powers on me."

"No takebacksies!" she grinned.

"We should finish our noodles," he said, noticing that his chair felt a lot
smaller when he sat back down.

Rudee sat back down and scooted her chair over closer to him until their knees
were touching under the table. "It's a good thing that it is a cold noodle
dish. It's ideal for a mid-meal interruption since they won't get cold."

Simon narrowed his eyes at her, "Did you do that on purpose?"

She grinned impishly at him, "What? No! I definitely didn't plan on seducing
you as soon as possible."

"Mmmmmmmhhhmmmmm,"

They were almost done with their noodles when Mini and Lucky reappeared.
Lucky shot onto the porch and went right over to Rudee who bent down to
start petting him, but Mini just stood in the doorway and stared at
Simon.

"What?" he asked.

"You're big, like really, ummm, ok, so I guess you, no no, not thinking
about it," she took a breath to center herself. "Lucky was really good
on the walk! I can tell you trained him really well Simon."

"Oh, yeah thanks. Lucky is a good boy, he made it easy for me."

"Yes you are a good boy! Yes you are!" Rudee told Lucky as she continued
to rub his belly. Lucky stretched his paws out away from his body as he
luxuriated in the treatment he was getting from the new human.

"Are you trying to steal him away from me?" Simon asked Rudee.

"Yeah, obviously. Look at him, he can clearly tell that I'm way cooler
than you."

Mini stepped out of the doorway, "be nice Rudee, don't you want this
guy to stick around?"

Rudee smirked, "oh, I'm not to worried about that."

Mini made a retching noise. "Can you stop being gross for like two seconds."

Simon chuckled, "I really don't think she has it in her. Has she always been
like this?"

Mini shook her head sadly, "one can only assume."

"'like this'? What's that supposed to mean?" Rudee glared at Simon. He just
exchanged a meaningful look with Mini.

They continued to chat and joke for several more hours. It was easier now that
they were no longer impeded by the sexual tension between the two new lovers.
Simon found Mini to be a great foil for Rudee's playfulness, and it was clear
that the two roommates got on really well, which wasn't always the case as
Simon knew all to well. He took their relationship to be a good sign.

====================================================================================

Simon turned around in surprise as the door opened. His sister walked in and
shut the door, "hey boy, didja miss me?" she asked Lucky as the dog came up
to her to shower her in affection.

"You're back early,"

"Yeah, I got done faster than expected and decided to fly back on my own,"
Megan tried to ignore the fact that her brother was shirtless and more than
a foot taller than he used to be. His new girlfriend had reshaped his body
right before Megan had left on her trip, and she hadn't had time to get
used to it. Megan was technically on leave at the moment, but the army always
needed skills of an Archmage.

"Oh, that's great,"

"Yeah, turned out to be no big..."

Rudee walked into the room wearing nothing more than a pair of panties. It
took her a moment to notice the newcomer, "oh shit! Simon! You said your sister
was still away!" She covered her breasts as best she could with her hands, "hold
on, just let me," she flexed her aspect and illusory yoga pants and a baggy
sweatshirt appeared. In addition to the clothes, her incredible curves receded.
She still looked voluptuous, but her boobs had gone from wider around than her waist
to merely grapefruit sized and her ass had experienced a similar deemphasis. With
the disappearance of her nudity and mindbending curves, Megan noticed how tall
she was. Megan was pretty tall for a woman at 5'9", but Rudee had six inches on
her.

"You, ummm, must be Rudee," Megan said. *Holy shit, she just threw up an illusion
right in front of me.* Despite being one of the most dangerous people alive, Megan
felt a thrill of fear. Illusionists had more trouble tricking mages who were more
powerful than them, and most people couldn't create an illusion right in front of
anyone because it was much harder with an audience. To create an illusion in front
of an archmage, Rudee had to be incredibly powerful. Of course, the spell aligned
with her aspect, which would have made it easier, but it was still a terrifying
display of casual power.

"Yeah, ummm, really sorry. Oh, wait, shit I only cast an illusion and you're-
you can- hold on, let me-" she started sidling back towards the bedroom.

"Don't bother. Your spell worked," Megan cut her off.

"Oh, I, ummm, really? Ok."

"My mana's been good to you," Simon smiled over at her.

"Yeah, I guess it has." Rudee knew that all the mana she'd been stealing was
making her really strong, but she hadn't been paying too much attention to it.
She'd had other distractions for the last week.

"Well, it's great to meet you. Simon has been telling me all about you!" Megan
said, pushing past the awkward introduction.

"Thanks! Yeah, it's great to meet you too. Your house is lovely!" she reached out
to take Megan's offered hand and Megan could feel the long claw-like nails she had
seen before the illusion settled into place as they clasped hands, but the sensation
disappeared before they finished their handshake.

"Thanks, I do love the countryside. I've been trying to convince Simon to move out
here now that he can work remote."

Rudee looked over at the big hunk tending to the stove, "that's funny, I've been
doing the same thing."

"With the two of you working on me, I don't stand a chance. You want some blueberry
pancakes Megan?"

"Yeah, that sounds great."

"Lucky wants you to come out here as well, don't you boy?" Rudee said, coming over
to pick up where Megan had left off on giving their furry companion some love. "So
much space for him to run around."

"You guys are acting like I'm not already convinced. I'm going to start looking for
a place to rent soon."

"Oh really? First I'm hearing of it, I guess all I needed to do was get you to find
a girlfriend out here." Megan grinned.

"Girlfriend? I guess, yeah-" "well, we weren't really, labeling-" "I mean." Simon
and Rudee spoke over one another, then fell silent, making eye contact for a moment.
They had only been together for a little over a week, but it had been a very intense
week. "I like the sound of that," Rudee offered.

"Umm, yeah, me too," Simon was happy about officially taking the next step, but he
felt a bit weird about doing so in front of Megan.

"Awww, you guys are so cute," Megan said. Somehow the pronouncement made her aware
of just how much her brother and his new girlfriend oozed with sexual presence.
The boy she had grown up had never been small or scrawny, but now he had turned into
a 7'6" hulk of a man bulging with muscle and lacking even a hint of fat. His biceps
were larger than her head and his deeply cobbled 8-pack abs were each the size of
a softball. Now that the illusion was in place, Simon was definitely the more remarkable
of the pair, but before Rudee had shrouded herself in magic, the glimpse of her figure
that Megan had caught had been enough that she knew it would be reappearing in her
minds eye for months to come. The shape formed by the constellation of gleaming gold
made up by Rudee's nipple and navel piercings kept coming back into Megan's mind
whenever her eye caught the glint off of one of Rudee's many earrings, which hadn't
been covered by the illusion. Maybe cute wasn't quite the right word. It didn't
capture the raw animal sexuality the pair possessed.

After a lull in the conversion where Rudee turned back to give Lucky some more belly
rubs and Simon turned back to the stove, Simon slid pancakes onto a couple of
plates, "you guys ready for pancakes?"

"Yeah, definitely, I'm super hungry," Rudee answered.

"Great!" he handed Megan and Rudee the plates.

Megan made an effort of will and the icebox opened so that a pitcher of syrup could
float through the air.

"Now that's just not fair," Simon complained as the jug floated past him.

"What, you mean this isn't as good?" Rudee formed a rough jug shape out of a magelight
and had it start floating around the room.

Simon flipped her off and she cackled victoriously. "I think I'm going to like you,"
Megan commented, grinning at her annoyed brother, "there is all sorts of fun you can
have with a magical weakling like my poor brother."

"Oh, I'm definitely interested," Rudee tapped her necklace and Anuman emerged.

"How may I be of assistance Mistress?" the knowledge spirit asked.

"Anuman, I would like you to meet Megan. She's a very powerful Archmage and she's going
to teach us something very important. Megan, this is Anuman, my knowledge spirit."

Anuman glowed a respectful burgundy, "very good."

Megan nodded gravely, "nice to meet you Anuman. Now, let's see. In no particular order,
some techniques for annoying Simon are..." she launched into a long lecture on how to
annoy Simon, usually by using the significant advantage in magical strength she enjoyed
over him, but sometimes through non-magical means. The whole time Rudee giggled and
Simon glowered while Anuman, who like all knowledge spirits had no sense of humor,
studiously committed her every word to his perfect memory. Megan did an admirable
job of playing it straight, but eventually started to laugh at the face that Simon
was making.

Breakfast stretched out for hours as the three of them chatted and Megan and Rudee
got to know one another. They seemed to get along great, which Simon was glad of.
The idea of having two such powerful witches with the sort of sense of humor that
Megan and Rudee had did make him a little worried.

============================================================================================

"Hey babe, you ready?" Simon called.

"Hold on, let me just run this analysis one more time. I think I just worked out the
bugs."

"'kay."

Simon passed the next few minutes walking back and forth in front of the door,
spinning his key crystal around his finger. "Babe!"

"Coming, coming, sorry."

Rudee set her terminal down and hopped to her feet. With a snap of her fingers,
her sweats flew off and were replaced by a miniskirt and keyhole crop top. The outfit
left many of the tattoos she had given herself with her transformation magic
visible. Magical creatures made of stylized geometric shapes chased each other
around her body, snarling and fighting with one another.

"The pixy is new." Simon commented, pointing to a little winged archer flying
over her shoulder. Rudee kept her tattoos constantly changing, so there
was always something new.

"Yeah, you like it?"

He smiled at her, "yeah, it's fun. I like the expression on its face."

Rudee smiled, "Ok, quit lollygagging, we've got houses to look at." She
made shooing motions to usher her boyfriend out the door. As they crossed
the threshold, she flexed her magic and summoned some three inch wedge
sandals. She didn't shroud her body in illusion as she had right after she'd
transformed into her current voluptuous self. Her initial plan of making her
sex doll body only visible to Simon hadn't been very effective since the
way she really looked had quickly leaked. Now she only used an illusion
for more formal settings. She'd been surprised by how much people didn't
make a big deal of it, at least to her face. She'd let it be known that it
was a result of her aspect, and people hadn't pushed further than that. Everyone
knew that some aspects came with challenges and it was considered rude to
pry too much into the impact of someone's aspect. Of course, that didn't
mean that people treated her exactly like they had before. To the contrary,
Rudee got a lot more looks, and could feel a lot more desire directed towards
her, especially from strangers.

They got in Simon's car and lifted off. As they rose over the treeline,
Simon reached over and took Rudee's hand, pressing the back of it to
his lips and looking over at her. She just smiled back at him, content
to enjoy the moment without words. Though they had only been together for
a few months, it felt natural that Simon was taking Rudee along while he
looked for a house in the area to buy. After an intense period where they
could hardly take their hands off one another, they had calmed down a little
(though only a little) and started talking about the future. Neither had
brought up the subject of marriage, sensing that it was far to early for that,
but when they talked about the future, they spoke in terms of years. Simon
had expressed a willingness to move wherever the fickleness of an academic
career took Rudee, and after they made love, they often spoke longingly of
finding a place they could put down roots together as they held one another.
It was, for both of them, the happiest time of their lives, not only because
of their current daily reality, but because of the future that seemed so
pregnant with possibility and so tantalizingly within reach.

The first house they saw needed more work than Simon wanted to deal with,
but the second and third were both charming in their own ways. It was the
last house that really sparked their imagination. A wide lawn had plenty
of space for a garden, something Simon knew little about, but Rudee was
excited to help him create. The house itself was small, with a rustic feel.
To make up for the lack of size in the house, there was a barn in the back
that they imagined serving as a workshop for the both of them. Simon
told his realtor that he wanted to put in an offer on it.

Afterwards, they picked up Lucky and went to Mimi's Ice Cream to celebrate
the milestone, though they didn't want to actually call it a celebration
until Simon's offer was accepted.

"It's so nice being able to eat as much of this as I want," Simon said,
licking his huge waffle cone. No matter how much sweets or carbs he loaded
up on, Rudee could always quickly remove any fat he developed.

"Yeah, succubus powers are pretty awesome," Rudee agreed.

"If only they could help you navigate lab politics. Is that group from
the chemistry department still not giving you credit for running their
experiment?"

Rudee sighed, "No, I don't think it's gonna happen. Dr. Weizmann emailed them
about it, but they didn't really respond. I'm over it though,"

"Oh yeah, you look over it,"

"Totally over it, whatever, it's fine. It's fine," she laughed to show that
she wasn't that mad, but Simon knew it did irritate her.

"I guess next time someone comes begging you to do their magical grunt work,
you gotta get them to agree to the authorship credits ahead of time."
Since Rudee had started gorging herself on Simon's power every day,
she'd effectively become as strong as an archmage, which opened up a lot of
possibilities for the kinds of magical research she could engage in. It
had meant a lot of research groups were suddenly interested in collaborating
with her.

"Yeah, fortunately the ley line lab seems much better about it,"

"That's good." Simon was glad that his ocean of magic was finally being put to
good use, even if he couldn't use it himself. Archmages were in endless demand,
and generally hard for anyone outside of the military to gain access to. Rudee
not technically being an archmage, but being just as good as one would make her
an extremely in-demand researcher, and he had already noticed her career trajectory
start to shift in the few months they had been together.

Once they got their ice cream cones, they headed away from Mimi's, passing through
the landing field and into the woods beyond. Lucky ran happily through the woods
around them, his tongue lolling as he crashed through the underbrush. Rudee took
Simon's hand as they walked up to the top of a small ridge. When they crested the
hill, they stopped beneath a cluster of large oaks. Simon pulled his hand out of Rudee's
and allowed his big mitt to settle on Rudee's ass. They were far enough from the
landing field that no one would see. At the contact, Rudee could feel the heat between
her legs building and the dents formed in her crop top by her nipples growing more
prominent. Looking up through her eyelashes as Simon, she began eating her ice cream
with exaggerated slow kissing motions. With every suck on the ice cream, she used
a whisper of succubus magic to create an echo of the sensation of her plump lips
sliding down his dick. She was soon rewarded by the sight of his massive member
straining mightily against his pants.

Simon found the phantom blow job distracting enough that he hardly made any progress
on his own cone. By the time Rudee was finished, his hand was covered in sticky melt
lines. "Babe, you're letting it melt!" Rudee pointed out after she finished the last
of her own cone.

"I've been a little distracted."

"By what?" she batted her eyelashes in mock innocence. "Nevermind, I'll help you
finish." She abruptly jumped up to wrap her legs around his hips. The motion
knocked the cone right out of his hand where it landed in her cleavage with
suspicious accuracy. "Oh no!" She held up a perfectly manicured hand to her mouth
as it made an O of surprise. "How clumsy of me! Well, I guess there's nothing for
you to do but help me clean it off." She slid a hand behind his head and pulled
his face down towards the ice cream trapped in her cleavage. Simon eagerly dove
in, extending his long tongue to begin lapping at the cold sweet creme sliding
deeper and deeper into Rudee's bosom. He managed to get a good chunk of it, but
of course the melting ice cream had managed to work its way all the way in between
her breasts.

"Oh no, it's so sticky! Can you help me babe?" Rudee tugged off her top, letting
her medicine ball sized breasts bounce free. At the same time, she attacked the
seems and threads of Simon's pants with magic so that the next powerful throb
of his dick tore loudly through the fabric and allowed it to swing up to smack
her ripe ass between her buttocks. She relaxed her legs, letting Simon's
monstrous dick take most of her weight. It was a feat of inhuman cock strength
that would not have been possible if she hadn't previously fortified the strength
of her boyfriend's massive mast. If Simon had looked up, he would have seen that
Rudee had put a privacy screen in place at some point, but he was too focused on
finishing the cleaning job to do so.

Rudee began rhythmically squeezing her ass around Simon's cock as he cleaned
the sticky sweetness off of her warm breasts. The muscular core of her booty
pressed in hard around his hot cock as she pulled magic from his reservoir
in great gobs through the contact. Rudee let out an increasingly lewd series
of moans until Simon had thoroughly cleaned off her chest. Once he did, she
hopped off of him, "thanks babe!" she turned as if to head back to the car.

Before she had made it two steps, Simon reached out and grabbed her by her
tight waist, pulling her broad hips back to press against his cock. "Oh,
you want more?" Rudee giggled. Simon was past the point of being verbal,
so he merely grunted and shoved her panties roughly down her legs. Rudee
bit her lip and gasped when he shoved a knee between her legs to force
them abruptly apart. With little ceremony, he lined up his mighty shaft
and rammed into her. Rudee's eyes rolled back in her head and she
began to shudder in pleasure as his baseball bat dick entered her.
She reached out to take a shaky hold of a tree as she felt her feet
lift off the ground as her hulking boyfriend lifted her 340 pound
frame up off the ground as if she was made of straw. He pistoned
into her with the strength of a bull, sending her through a chain
of rolling orgasms.

Rudee had solved the problem of making herself so sexy Simon
couldn't last very long by tweaking their biology so that
he couldn't cum until he had been exposed to a chemical key
she secreted when she orgasmed. She had been pushing his
resistance to the key higher and higher, so he would have
to keep her cumming for at least 20 minutes to find release
of his own. Fortunately for him, she was sensitive enough
that every time his 16" shaft plunged in or out by an inch,
she reached a new peak of pleasure.

With every thrust her frenzied bull of a boyfriend made into
her, more magic flowed from his ocean of power to her own
reserve. By this point, Rudee's reserve of stolen power had
long since surpassed Simon's store of magic in size, since
she took most of his magic during each of their frequent
couplings, and she barely used the power. Still, the Thai
succubus-witch loved the feeling of her reserve of stolen
power growing, and that sensation only furthered her pleasure.

When Simon had finally pounded away at her for long enough to
unlock his own orgasm, he convulsed violently. His swollen
balls jetted into Rudee's womb as he grunted with relief.

Rudee panted against the tree for a few moments after he set
her down, then snapped her fingers to clean them both off and
fix the clothes that had been destroyed.

"I like Mimi's. Good woods," Simon said.

Rudee grinned, straightened her top, and dropped the privacy shield.
"I think so too."

They took one another's hands and walked back towards the landing
field.

======================================================================

Rudee finished tweaking her mana flow analysis code and hit the key
combo to run the program. She watched it chug along for a few seconds
to make sure it didn't crash immediately, then picked up her phone
to see if Simon had messaged her back about dinner plans. She had
texted him around noon and he still hadn't responded six hours later.
Normally, he was much more responsive and his continued silence was
starting to worry her. She called him. He didn't pick up.

She only knew a few basic divination spells off the top of her head.
Using them to scry Simon from this far away was horribly inefficient,
but she had plenty of mana, and she had a weird feeling. When she cast
the first scry spell, it was unable to find a target despite the gobs
of mana she poured into it. The spells that just probed with her sense
of hearing and taste were similarly ineffective. Now in a full-on
panic, Rudee ran outside, grabbing her broom on the way out. She
jumped into the air, throwing the broom between her legs and arced
up and towards the house she shared with Simon.

She dumped magic into her broom, pushing her speed far faster than
normal. She could feel extra pressure on the shield she used to
protect herself from the rush of air over the broom. In what felt
like no time at all, she was at home and bursting through the door.

Simon was tied to a kitchen chair by barbed wire. His face was bloody
and a rag had been stuffed into his mouth and then held in place by
duct tape. At the sight of her he started making muffled noises and
jerking his head towards the door as if to tell her to leave.

"Rudee Suwan! How lovely to finally meet you." The sound of a cane
tapping on the tiles of the floor could be distinctly heard as a
dapper looking man in a waistcoat walked into view. His shoes were
shined to a mirror black and the cane he swung from his right hand
was topped by a tiny human hand frozen in rictus and cold enough that
it trailed wisps of steam. Rudee hadn't met many other demonic aspect
mages, but she could tell that this man was one immediately.

With hardly any thought, she loosed a pillar of hellfire directly
at the man's torso. With contemptuous ease, he swatted aside the
attack, redirecting the blast to slag the stove. "Now look what
you've done. Your lovely little house is going to burn down now."
He tapped his cane on the floor to turn a flaming iron spear
Rudee had summoned into dust. "Enough, anything else and he dies."
An icicle floated menacingly above Simon's jugular and the barbed
wire binding him pulled tighter, sending fresh streamers of blood
down his hulking chest.

Rudee held back from completing the lightning spell she had been
about to fling.

When the stranger grinned, his smile spread far to wide and Rudee
could see that every one of his teeth was sharp like a shark's.
"You certainly have plenty of fire. Good. You're going to need it.
Put this on." He tossed her a collar made from a black metal that
looked as if it was slick with oil though it felt dry to the
touch.

"What is it?"

"It's one of a kind! A rare artifact! The only slave collar that
can bind a higher being. Once you put it on, you'll have to obey
me in all things."

"No."

He sighed and nodded, "I thought you might say that." He walked
over to Simon and viciously pressed on of his thumbs into Simon's
right eye. Simon screamed through the gag, and Rudee could hear
a sickening cracking as ice spread from the man's thumb into
Simon. "The great thing about hellfrost is that there isn't much
beyond an archangel that can put you right once I freeze something
off. Put on the collar before your boyfriend goes blind forever."

Rudee glared at him. Her life had been so amazing since she had met
Simon and now it was crashing down with such sudden violence. Until
that moment, she had never truly known hate. She put on the collar.
"Who are you?"

"I have the pleasure to be Duke Callor of the fifth circle of hell,
and your new master. Now, follow me." He gestured and a thick silver
skull ring on his left hand flashed as a gateway to hell opened up
behind Simon. He kicked Simon through the rent in reality and stepped
through. Rudee tried to resist, but immediately felt painful claws
tear into her mind. After she stepped through the gate, the house she
had been building her life in was slowly consumed by hellfire.

==========================================================================
