Waking up in the middle of the night.

William’s fingers twitched, and in both hands his fingertips brushed soft skin. Slowly, he was starting to become more aware of his surroundings. He was still in bed, with Reina and Ruth snuggling at his sides sleeping quietly and soundly.

‘Feeling alright?’

‘Very, actually.’

‘Let this serve as a constant reminder to let me feed or we’ll both suffer for it.’

‘Noted. But still, don’t you think you went a little too hard with my body?’

‘I was starving. Let me be. Or are you feeling jealous?’

‘No point to it, is there? We share sensations whether it’s you or me in control.’

‘Good thing you realize that.’

‘I still prefer to use my own body, though.’

‘Sure, sure. Now, how was it? Did you get the hang of it?’

‘Mostly. It’s gonna take more practice, but I don’t think you’ll need to take over my body for it anymore. I got a clear picture of it. Whenever you used your power, my head started feeling foggy, but I think I’ll be able to resist that sensation better now that I’m aware of it.’

‘Good. It’d be a shame if you didn’t use my power. It’s too useful not to, plus it makes things more interesting, don’t you think?’

‘I suppose.’

‘…’

‘…’

‘…I’m sorry for threatening you with taking over your body.’

‘Hmm? Where did that come from?’

‘Look, you’re the first host I’ve had that didn’t completely freak out over having me with them. I could **** them into sex, but… it wasn’t… Ugh, what I’m trying to say is, we both get more out of it if we’re working together and help each other get what we want. I shouldn’t have threatened you, fighting was stupid, and I promise not to get aggressive again.’

‘Huh. You sound cute when you get bashful.’

‘Shut the fuck up.’

‘There we go. But you’re right. I’m sorry for almost starving you to ****. I got… scared. Not of you, but of what I could do or how I could end up changing. If we’re going to do this, we need to really, truly trust each other. And hey, I love sex, let’s not get that wrong. So I promise not to let you starve, but I suppose that’s a given. Is there anything else you’d like, Ishtar?’

‘What? What do you mean?’

‘Well, feeding off of sex is one thing to aim for, but that’s just a basic need, isn’t it? Isn’t there something you actually want?’

‘I… never really thought about it. But I guess that if feeding isn’t going to be a problem, then… I suppose I’d like to try more things with my power. The potential of sexual energy is limitless. I’d like to try some more kinky stuff, seeing how wild we can get without getting in trouble.’

‘Or causing trouble. If you agree to that, I can agree to experiment.’

‘Alright, I can do that. And you? What do you want to do with your life, Will?’

‘Mmmh. I’ve never had huge goals. I just wanted to study journalism and become a photographer for some kind of nature magazine like National Geographic or something. Never expected to be photographing women for a lingerie magazine, but… it’s not bad. I guess what I want is to lead a comfortable life. Having lots of sex with many gorgeous women while living a stress-free life would be ideal.’

‘You’re pretty boring, huh?’

‘And what would you have me do?’

‘I don’t know. Become a porn star?’

‘I prefer to be behind the camera, not in front of it.’

‘What? Are you shy? Haha.’

‘Yes. I’d rather anything embarrassing I say or do not be preserved forever.’

‘Okay, boring photographer it is. So, what’s our short term goal? The girls here are already into you. So what are you gonna do next?’

‘I… don’t know.’

‘Don’t lie to me, Will. I live in your head. There’re a lots of things you want to do, and if you’re not clear with me I can’t help. Now that you don't have to worry too much about these two, there’s one woman you want slightly more than others, and her name is…?’
