Playing dumb doesn't suit her.

Smiling in a "far too wide" fashion, Etna shook her head. "Up to? I'm not up to anything, b...baby! I just wanted to put Laharla in her place. I mean, isn't that why you wanted to summon her in the first place? It was my suggestion, remember?" She was stammering...and still shaking her head. She was far too nervous to be telling the truth.

Pinning Etna to the wall, I continued to rub her tail. She began to absent-mindedly grind against my leg. "I don't believe you," I said bluntly. "You're a devious sort, Etna. I know you always will be...but that doesn't mean I'll let you do as you want." She swallowed hard, a sigh involuntarily escaping her lips. I put my face inches from hers. "Now tell me...what the FUCK...were you planning on doing after breaking Laharla...without my permission by the way..."

Her chest heaving, Etna licked her lips. "I...I was just...going to make...make Flonne understand that...that I deserve you more then...more then she does..." she squeaked. "And who said that?" I asked. "You are SERIOUSLY pushing it with me, Etna. I'll decide who deserves more, not you." I licked her neck, making her gasp. She squirmed in distressed pleasure.

"Each of you are special to me, Etna," I went on. "Flonne's innocence...your deviousness...Laharla's inexperience..." I paused in my lecture. "Which reminds me, I should alter her figure again...I don't want all of you having the same features..." Shaking it off, I stepped back, leaving her to sink to the floor, panting.

Kneeling down, I cupped her face gently. "Now...promise me something. Promise me you won't try brainwashing Flonne or making Laharla do demeaning acts. I don't mind her looking up to you and loving your touch and attention," I explained. "In fact, I find that very hot. But the instant you start making her clean the bathroom or something, you'll have crossed the line. So...don't cross the line. 'kay?" I asked, kissing her nose.
