Aster’s upper body was dangling from Naeku’s grip as the latter pulled her up by the pig tails. She moaned and panted softly from pain and discomfort, but didn’t struggle. "H-How... How can I prove myself...?" she whispered, seemingly ready to be at Naeku’s mercy.

Naeku scoffed as her eyes scanned Aster’s face, even using her newly-gained omnisense to look at the eyes behind the blindfold. Erik did the same, but all either of them found was meek acceptance. One glance at Naeku’s face then told him she wasn’t happy about that.

"Jeez..." she muttered, her scowl a mix between anger and pity. "You used to have so much fire, Aster. Part of the reason I wanted to be friends with you was your confidence and extroverted nature. I can’t even remember the number of parties you dragged me to! Until you told me about Dawit, I never thought you were the type to settle down! Yet, now you’ve become this affected by his death?"

Aster didn’t answer, seemingly looking listlessly up at Naeku with her blinded eyes, waiting to hear how she could prove herself. Yet, to the most observant among them, there was something hidden behind every movement she made and word she spoke.

"She’s lying," Elora smirked, voice tinged with obvious amusement as she witnessed everything from inside Erik’s soul. She’d made sure Naeku could hear her words as well.

"Oh?" Erik muttered curiously, raising an eyebrow.

"W-What?" Naeku flinched lightly, blinking a few times. "A-About what?!"

"I’m not sure," Elora answered, shrugging, but clearly curious about it. "I just know she’s lying. Whatever her real reason for being here, it’s got little to do with this Dawit guy."

Hearing that, Naeku cocked an eyebrow and looked at her old friend strangely. If she was confused before, then it’d only gotten worse now.

Still, she quickly shook it off. She was still angry at Aster for her earlier words, and now she only felt more emboldened to do what she wanted to do.

"Hmpf, whatever..." she scoffed, and then stood back up, still holding Aster by her pig tails, but keeping her on her knees. "Let’s see if his death really broke you, or if the Aster I remember is still in there somewhere. You were quite the slut before going straight, so let’s remind you of that!"

Forcing Aster to quickly crawl after her, Naeku dragged her over to Erik so that she was kneeling in front of him. Then she crouched behind Aster. With one hand still entangled in the pig tails, and the other grabbing her chin, she forced Aster’s mouth open under surprised moans from her captive.

Finally, she looked up at Erik with a daring gaze. "I’ve a gift for you, Sir," she grinned, with just a hint of unfamiliar malice.

Erik looked down at the pair with amusement. He took a moment to check Aster’s reaction for struggle—having no doubt she’d figured out what was about to happen—and then decided to go with it when he found none.

Snapping his fingers, he made the only piece of clothing on his body—a pair of cargo pants—disappear into his storage, causing a heavy slab of meat to slap onto Aster’s waiting face. A shiver immediately went through her spine. Those with omnisense could see her eyes widening behind the blindfold.

"Feel that weight? That size?" Naeku grinned, whispering in Aster’s ear as she looked up at Erik with mischievous, teasing eyes. "I’ve no doubt it’s the biggest you’ve ever had... but even if you had, I doubt they smelled this good. Take a whiff!"

Aster breathed in deep through her nose and immediately released another soft moan. Her eyes fluttered behind the fold as Erik’s altered body chemistry penetrated deep into the lust and desire centres of her brain. "G-God..." she whispered softly, voice trembling.

Although she’d clearly meant it in an abstract way, Naeku immediately ran with it.

"That’s right," she smirked, moving Aster’s face up and down the shaft to smear his scent all over it. "This magnificent dick belongs to the god you claim to venerate. The god who’s salvation you claim to seek! So worship it!"

Not needing to be told a second time, Aster’s tongue flickered out of her open mouth to lick at every piece of flesh she could reach from this position. Erik felt the pleasure, though he was used to much worse and didn’t react much. Mostly, he was looking at Naeku with amusement and curiosity. This vindictive side of her was something new... but he liked it.

Seeing Erik’s reaction to Aster’s tongue, Naeku scoffed and yanked on the pig tails—though she was still looking up at Erik mischievously. "Worthless! He barely feels it! Do you want to please him, or waste his time?!"

To some surprise of everyone there, Aster’s tongue sped up as a soft moan escaped her again. "Too late!" Naeku grinned, emboldened further by the lack of resistance, and pulled Aster’s head back. "Let’s just see if your throat can do any better!"

Positioning Aster’s head, she swiftly impaled it on Erik’s cock, stretching her jaw and lips to their limit. Her eyes widened in shock behind the fold, but she only moaned more.

By now, Erik was rock hard and ready for it. Smirking down, he put his hands on his hips and started pushing forward with shallow thrusts. Using Aster’s head, Naeku met his thrusts. They quickly entered a rhythm of tag-teaming Aster’s skull.

Yet, it looked like her gag reflex was surprisingly strong. Whether she was unfamiliar with deep throating or simply had never had his size, it wasn’t getting through on the first few tries.

Naeku scoffed with disdain. "Is that all you got?! Is that all the conviction you have to show for your desires?!"

She moved the hand on Aster’s chin down a little to begin massaging her throat. "Swallow!" she growled a demand in Aster’s ear... and Aster obeyed. Suddenly, Erik managed to push further and slip into the soft, squirming insides of her throat.

He breathed out a contented sigh as he felt the pleasure of unfamiliar insides squeezing his shaft. Meanwhile, Aster was trembling and moaning like she’d not done before, sending vibrations quivering through his cock.

"Good girl," Naeku whispered, still looking up at Erik with eyes now glimmering with playful lust. "But we’re only getting started..."
