CYOA Part Seven: Beds

You turn out the door and yell again. “Remi! Come here, please.”

“No!” Ebal hisses at you before vanishing back under the bed.

Remi trots up to the door with a scowl upon his furry face. “I thought I heard you call me. What’s going on?”

You point to the bed. “Ebal is under the bed.”

“Under the bed?” He walks up to the salt circle and tilted his head to look under the bed. He begins laughing.

“Shut the hell up!” Ebal snaps

Remi is still chuckling as he turns back towards you, a rather smug look on his face. “Did you know he was under there?”

You shake your head. “I had no clue. I guess we just sort of lucked out.”

Remi snickers. “What were you doing under there? Napping? How do you get caught like that?”

“Shut up!” Ebal yells again.

“What did you even come back in here for? Isn’t Mero feeding you?” Remi continues to taunt him.

“Oh right, Mero,” you murmur. “Maybe we should call her and have her come take care of him.”

“What do you mean? We have him trapped. Why not just keep him there?” Remi walked out of the bedroom and back to the kitchen.

“Do what?” Ebal yelps. “No! No! You can’t leave me here! You can’t just leave me under this bed!”

You follow Remi into the kitchen. “You seriously want me to keep a demon prisoner in my house? Is that even legal?”

“He’s trapped by the salt, it’s safe. Just keep the door closed and if he starts making too much noise have your big boyfriend come over.” Remi walks towards the front door.

Your eyes widen and you rushed up behind him. “You’re not leaving me here alone with him are you? What do I even do with him?”

“I was going to stay to help keep you safe from Ebal. Ebal is trapped. You did the hard part on your own. You don’t need some little goat around.”

“I do though! I need a little goat! I don’t know what’s going on. And the things Ebal told me-”

“What’d he say?” Remi furrows his brow. “What’s he trying to tell you?”

You shrug and look back down the hallway. “He said he was in some sort of trouble. I almost started to believe him when he said he could die.”

Remi’s ear twitch and one seems to point towards the hallway. “He told you he would die? How?”

“That’s when you came in. He was telling me that because I am a child of Pan I’m inclined to be, well, on the horny side.” You were frowning, but only because you couldn’t help but feel that part of Ebal’s words were true.

You had always tried to be a good kid, but even from a young age you were curious about more grown things. You used to get wet at the drop of the hat and had masturbated quite a bit. You had tried to curb this, telling yourself it wasn’t needed. But when you got pent up you tended to act recklessly. That was how you met Luke. You’d been trying to go cold turkey and went out with friends to a bar to celebrate Amy’s promotion.

“I could see that being an issue,” Remi mutters. “It makes sense you’d get some sort of trait from your sperm donor.”

You huff and look back down the hall. “Ebal worked for Pan right?”

“I suppose. I don’t know if Ebal worked for him or just hung around him. But the two had a relationship at one point.”

“Is that why you don’t trust him?” You ask. “You said you and Pan also were friends once and had a relationship. Should I even trust you?”

Remi scoffs and he takes a defensive stance. His legs spread out and his fur ruffles up. “Hey! Pan abused and abandoned me. He made me afraid for my life! I am not the same as Ebal!”

“What if you are?” You ask.

Remi’s eyes go slightly apart for a second he shakes his head and growls. “Ebal is a demon. A demon who toys with people. He only wants to have his cake and eat it too. Why not just ask Luke? They used to go around together right?”

You thought to yourself that you would rather lick the salt ring up than call Luke about that. “What about Mero?”

“She seems nice,” Remi huffs. “But I don’t know her all that well.”

You look out the kitchen window and see the lights are on at Mero’s place. “Well then, maybe I should just go and talk to her about him.” You step around Remi and head outside. You walk through the garage and towards Mero’s porch.

Remi stands in the kitchen door, looking back in and returning into your house.

You knock on Mero’s door, noticing all the pretty windchimes she has hanging around. Including one made of stained glass that went in a spiral and looked like a snake.

The door opens and Mero smiles up at you. “What and unexpected surprise! Hello new neighbor,” she giggles.

“Hi, sorry about that. Uhm…” You suddenly realize how silly it is to begin interrogating Mero on Ebal, whom she may not even know is a demon.

“Is Ebal here?” Your voice cracks from nerves.

Mero looks thoughtful. “No. I actually haven’t seen him all day. But would you like to come in? I was just making myself some chai to go with the wonderful cake I got at the bakery.”

“That does sound nice. But I don’t want to intrude.”

Mero rolls her wheelchair back so you can enter. “Nonsense! I’d love to have the company, especially if it's you.”

Your cheeks turn warm and you walk inside. Mero’s living room is painted soft yellow and she has it decorated with tons of pottery and ceramics.

“I used to travel a lot with my father,” Mero says. “We used to visit all sorts of local markets and craftsmen.” She leads you into the kitchen, a bright blue and white room where everything was lowered to suit her in her wheelchair.

“Your home looks beautiful,” you marvel.

“Aww! Thank you!” She goes over to the stove where she pours milk into the pot and then stirs. “I can’t take full credit for it. My father had it built for me.”

The wallpaper is all blue and white, but it depicts a forest scene. You see several animals, but mostly there are snakes pictured everywhere. “Lucky you.”

Mero smiles sweetly, adding to the regal beauty of her face. “Is this what you wanted to talk about?”

“Oh uh-” She caught you. “No uhm-”

Mero turns. “Werre you looking for Ebal? Because lots of people come looking for Ebal.” She winks.

“No!” You yelp and jump up. “It’s nothing like that I uh-”

Meor taps her fingers tips to her lips and giggles. “I don’t care if you are! After all, you said you’re going through a transition period with your relationship. Ebal would be the perfect person to work that out. Frustration wise that is. He’s very good at it.”

“Well. No. No, I’m not looking for Ebal…for that.” Your face is warm, and the thought of it is getting you more bothered than you’d like. “I was more curious about what you know about him. And kind of why you let him stay with you.”

Mero adds honey to the pot. “I met Ebal because of Luke, actually.”

The hairs on the back of your neck stood on end.

“Luke had Ebal living with him, and the two of us often hung out and talked a lot. When the two broke up I suppose I took a bit of pity on him.” She looks back at you. “But that might be a bit more personal than what you’re aiming for.”

You press your lips together.

“I know he’s a demon.” She says gently as she took the pot off the stove. “So what did you want to know about that?”

You gulp. “I uh…well.”

Mero turns and smiles at you. “I figured since you dated a werewolf and have been with Evander that you knew some things about this world that most humans don’t.”

“I actually didn’t know Luke was a werewolf but-” You shook your head. “Yeah, he’s a demon. That’s what I wanted to know if you knew so…is he dangerous?”

Mero got cups from the bottom cupboard. “I don’t think so.”

“Remi says he is.”

Mero frowned. “Remi ‘said’?” She looks at you curiously. “The goat or the editor of the newspaper?”

You freeze up, not realizing Remi hadn’t revealed himself to anyone else.

Mero chuckles. “You speak goat now, do you?” She ladles chai into a cup and offers it to you.

“It’s a lot to explain.” You huff. “I’m only just learning some things about myself and I think Ebal fits into it.”

“He gave your the honry touch right?” Mero laughs.

“You know about that?”

Mero nods, fill her own cup. “I know a lot about Ebal. After living with him for so long, I know several of his secrets.” She blows into her cup then sips. Her pretty lips pucker around the rim and her long lashes fall upon her cheek.

“Then you know why he and Luke had such a bad break up?”

She hums into her cup then raises her eyes back to you, taking on a hypnotic gaze. “I know a bit about it. But I don’t think that’s my place to share.”

You sigh and nod. “That’s fair.” You sip on the chair and sigh in content. “This is really good.”

“Oh cake!” Sets her cup ont he counter then takes a pretty, cardboard box and opens it. “It’s a cinnamon crumb cake. One of my favorites.” She pulls out a knife and slices two pieces. She plates them and offers you one.

“Has Evander made you his special cinnamon toast yet?” Mero asks.

“Uh, no. He’s made me pancakes.”

Mero smiles. “I figured since the two of you are getting close, he would be treating you to all sorts of good foods.” She uses her fingers to pinch a bite from the cake. She licks her fingers and you can’t stop watching her lips.

“I can kind of blame that on Ebal.”

Mero giggles. “I thought so. But really, you couldn’t have done better than Evander. He’s nothing but a giant sweetheart.” She then leans in. “How was he?”

Your face turns bright red.

“That good huh?” Mero snickers. “I’ve always been curious. But I’ve always leaned more towards girls.”

You smile softly. “So, you’re bi too?”

“Pan, actually.” Mero took another sip of her chai. “Good to know, right?”

You nod. “Sometimes it's easier to talk to someone when you know that.”

“That’s a bit of a reason why I like having Ebal around. When we talk about those sorts of subjects, I feel like he understands me and there’s nothing but excitement about the conversation. Which reminds me-” She smiles slyly. “I read one of your stories where the princess was kidnapped by a snake queen. It was short, but I really enjoyed it.”

“That’s such an old piece. I’m surprised.”

“But the scene was a bit…uninspired.”

You nodded. “Yeah, I was a bit nervous writing it. At the time I wasn’t really sure of who I was. The story was an experiment on my part really.”

“Have you ever considered rewriting it with all the experience you do have now? Because, I bet, you could do a lot more with that snake queen than just have her use a phallic totem on the princess.”

You shrug, feeling your bottom grow warm all over. You pinch your thighs together and try not looking at mero directly. “I hadn’t considered doing that.”

Mero rolled herself closer, taking hold of your hand. She tickled her fingertips down your palm and onto your wrist. “I see your love line is very long.”

“Is that a good thing?” You chuckle.

“You have lots of love inside you.” Mero smiles up at you. “Lots you can share, even more that you can receive.”

You swallow hard and let Mero pull your hand in closer. “I can’t help but feel like the conversation has shifted.”

Mero chuckles. “I have to confess. I have a little crush. Ever since I saw you, I thought you were adorable.”

“Oh,” you gasp. “Th-thank you! I uhm…I’m not really sure what to say. I’m kind of shocked, you’re so pretty and-”

Mero kisses your knuckles and her lips felt cool. “I can be very affectionate to people I like. Ebal says I’m handsy. But if that makes you nervous, just step back.”

You really don’t want to step aside. “It’s okay.”

Mero smoothes her hand up your arm. “You’re getting so warm.”

“You’re actually kind of cool. Are you cold?” You ask.

Mero smirks. “Would you like to warm me up?”

You bite your lip and wonder if Ebal is having any effect upon you. Just like with Luke and Evander, you feel that you have this growing and growing ache that demands to be sated. Mero is so pretty and so spellbinding you felt like you’d be wasting an opportunity.

“Are you sure?” You whisper.

“Are you?” She counters.

You lick your lips. “It’s been a while. Not since before Luke,” you confess.

“Don’t worry,” Mero takes your hand. “I’ll inspire you.” She takes you to her bedroom. It’s all dark greens and gold, and when she dims the lights small leds turn on and give the room an ambient, twilight glow.

“You know, demons and werewolves and minotaur aren’t all this little town has hidden away,” Mero murmurs. “But, you know that already don’t you?” She undoes the buttons of your jeans.

“Yeah,” you say breathlessly. “So, what are you? A succubus?”

Mero snickers and laughs.” She kisses your exposed belly and hip as she pulls your pants down. “I’m a little more earthy than that.” her long fingers pressed against your panties, rubbing between them.

You lost your breath, head fluttering more with arousal than intrigue. “Then how come I’m so turned on?”

“Because you need something, and your body can feel mine.” Mero has you sit down upon the bed and she spreads your thighs open. She leans over, kissing you softly. She opens your lips, sliding her tongue unside your mouth. You feel something sharp against your lip, and when you pull back you see fangs inside her mouth.

“Vampire!” You gasp.

“Earthly,” Mero reminds you. “Look down.”

You look at her lap, seeing not legs, but a scaly tail. Mero slides from her chair and pushes you down onto the bed. Her eyes have changed, becoming all gold and taking slitted pupils.

“Snake queen,” you breathe.

Mero kisses you again. “Not exactly a queen, but you can call me that if you like.” She licks your throat as her hand goes up your shirt. “You're so warm. I want to wrap myself around you.”

“Mero,” you moan. “That feels good.”

She giggles into your ear. “Are you sure? Do you want me to keep going? Because if you let me, I have lots of plans for this sweet little body.”

“What are they?”

Mero licks her lips which have turned black. “Well, let’s see. For starters I’m going to coil my body around you.” Already you feel her tail grabbing your ankle. “I’m going to feel how warm you get and tease you to feel more.” She tugs up your shirt and caresses the front of your bra. She makes easy work of it, pushing it up as well. She smiles at your breasts, dipping down and blowing on a nipple. Her lips wrap around it and her tongue presses upon it. Her mouth is a bit chilly, so it adds to the sensation.

Mero pulls up with a pop and smirks. “You’re so responsive.” Her fingers tickle down your belly and slip inside your panties. She bites her lip and moans as her fingers slip into your wetness.

“I should warn you I get-”

“Hush now.” Mero’s tail has wrapped around your legs. “This perfect, juicy peach needs no warning. The best peaches are meant to be messy when eaten.”

You giggle then press your lips together.

Mero smiles at you. “Forgive me. Perhaps I should come with a warning.” She eases her fingers inside you. “Do you like this?”

You nod and whimper.

“Good.” Her fingers curl inside, stroking you. “You’re so hot inside.” She pulls her out and places them into her mouth. Her body uncoils from around you. Her tail yanks your leg up, pulling you upside down in front of her.

Mero chuckles as she looks at your surprised expression. She takes her fingers, spreading you apart so she can see inside. “I want us to be good friends. I feel like we can become very close.”

“I couldn’t tell from here.”

Mero laughs then kisses your lips. Her black lips become glossy from your nectar. She kisses again and again until her tongue slides inside.

You twitch and fidget, unused to this position of being held up.

Mero’s tongue becomes unnaturally long, going deeper inside you than a tongue should. She moans against you, gently tapping her fingertips against your clit.

You close your eyes and breathe, moaning as her tongue slithers inside you.

Mero pulls her tongue out, breathing deeply as she slurps. “You taste so good.” She lays you back down upon the bed. As she moves to open your legs you grab her hand.

“What about you?”

Her eyes widen and she looks aside shyly.

“Can I touch you?” You ask.

Mero smiles and turns her eyes back to you. She kisses you, taking your hand and guiding it down her flat chest. At the bottom of her torso where the scales begin there’s a small slit that she places your fingers upon. She takes her other hand, cupping your rear before easing her fingers between.

“Gentle now,” she purrs.

You slip your fingers inside her, kissing her cheek and neck. She’s cool inside, more sticky and soft than you expected. There’s a ridge along the top inside and your press your finger upon it. Mero whines, burying her face your your hair.

“Is that okay?” You whisper.

Mero’s fingers push back inside you. “Yes. keep going.”

You move your fingers along that ride, stroking it as her fingers curl inside you.

“So warm,” Mero moans.

You kiss her, squeezing around her fingers. Her long tongue goes into your mouth and you suck upon it. Mero whimpers, pressing closer to you and causing your fingers to push in deeper.

Mero trembles, removing her hand from you and grabbing onto you with both arms. Your whole hand fits inside her and she begins to shiver all over.

“Yes! Yes!” Mero pants. “So hot…so soft!” She thrusts her own hips, taking your hand deeper and deeper while you rib that stiff ridge.

Mero’s tail goes between your legs and you rub yourself against it.

“I’m close,” Mero pants. “So close-”

You kiss her, sucking on her tongue again. Inside she flexes, gripping your hand until it’s forced out. Mero whimpers and convulses, her tail twitching as she leans into your body. She lays upon you, forcing you down upon the bed where she curls on top of you.

“Hold on-” She pants. “Let me catch my breath.”

“It’s okay, just rest.”

“No!” She sits up with a huff. “You’re not done.” She places her tail under your head, turning herself around so she’s upside down upon you. Her tongue tickles your clit and her fingers slip inside.

“You’re even wetter than before.” She kisses and licks you. “You’re amazing.” Her mouth suctions around you, her tongue sliding in deep.

You whimper, nuzzling your cheek into her tail.

Mero moans against you, placing her fingers upon your clit again.

You have so much to worry about, especially the demon under your bed. But Mero feels so good, and indulging like this is the only thing that’s helped you since you got here. Mero’s tongue and fingers make everything melt away. Perhaps giving into your horny nature wasn’t so bad.

Mero lifts her head for a breath. She eases her tail under your back and the tip pops up between your legs. She eases it inside and watches as it plunges in. Her fingers rub your clit, making you twitch and cry out.

“Come for me,” Mero purrs. “Let me see your cute pussy come for me.”

“Mero-” you gasp for breath. “Oh fuck…it’s so much!”

She chuckles proudly then dips down, cuckling your clit as her tail pushes inside.

“I can’t…it’s to-” You arch your back and you explode from the inside out. Mero comes up wet, her tail dripping.

“I know,” she grins.

You lay there feeling dizzy, but also thirsty. Mero nuzzles your cheek, kissing you and tasting like you. You kiss her in return and sigh in content.

“I can’t believe I did that again,” you have to laugh.

“What’s wrong with it?” Mero cuddles up around you. “Is there a reason you feel you should be afraid of your urges?”

“Maybe…I’m not sure.”

Your phone rings from your pants pocket. You reach over the side of the bed to see who is calling you.
