Welcome to the Granger

Jack woke up, groaning in annoyance as he rubbed his face. Then he felt the grass underneath his back, and sat up.

He wasn't in his room anymore. He was in a forest, in the middle of the night. The full moon shone above him, illuminating his surroundings. He didn't know where he was, and as he stood up, he looked around, confused and startled.

"Hello, big boy," a sultry voice said from behind him. Jack turned around and gasped in shock.

Before him was a naked, voluptuous woman, with skin a blazing red and hair as black as the night around him. Her eyes were a mischievous yellow. A pair of bat wings flew out from behind her back, a pointed tail swaying from behind her ass.

The 'woman' before him smirked, licking her lips. "Nice to see you, Jack," she purred, "you may call me Lily. You're probably wondering why you aren't in your room anymore. Well, I can answer that."

Lily began swaying her hips as she took nimble steps toward the bewildered Jack. To his annoyance, she was having an affect on his cock.

And Lily knew that. When Jack began backing away from her, however, she stopped.

"Oh?" she said, gesturing to herself, "Are you afraid of this?"

"Uh... yeah, actually. I've just woken up in a strange place and now there's a freaking succubus staring right at me! I didn't consent to any of this!"

"Ah," she said, starting to deflate, "I understand, Jack. I guess it is rather obvious I'm a succubus and I... did..." she stopped and looked over to her left, away from Jack, her cheeks a faint pink. "...come on too strong."

Then she looked back, clapping her hands together. "Right! Now as for why you're here, let me explain: there's going to be a wedding, and you're the groom!"

Jack blinked. Once. Twice. Three times.

"WHAT THE FLYING FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY?!"

Lily winces, holding her hands and smiling nervously. "I'm not done explaining!"

"I didn't consent to any wedding!"

"Just let me finish, Jac-"

"Hell, I'm not even interested in getting married! I'm fine being a bachelor!"

"If you woul-"

"Shut up! Just shut up! What the hell is even going on?!"

"LET ME EXPLAIN, YOU DUNDERFUCK!" Lily shrieked, her mouth opening as wide as a snake's and her tail angrily curling into a wheel.

Jack paused. "Did you just say dunderfuck?"

Lily ignored his question, taking in a deep breath. Uncurling her tail, she straightened her hair before continuing. "Yes, I did, now, let me explain what's going on. Tomorrow, at exactly 1:15, you were going to die."

Jack's mouth dropped open. "I was... how?" he asked quietly.

"You get hit by a bus. Don't worry, you were the only person who would die." Lily paused for a second and cringed. "Okay, not my most comforting approach, but let's move on. Now, with that in mind, I and the other Ladies of the Granger decided to step in and offer you a second chance while also solving a small problem of ours."

"Is this related to me getting married?" Jack deadpanned, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, actually. Now, Jack, what do you notice about me?"

"You're naked and really hot?"

Lily blushed. "Besides that..."

Jack sighed and began looking up and down Lily's body, unable to keep his friend from springing to attention. "Your skin is red?"

Lily sighed, putting a hand on her head. "I'm part human!"

Jack blinked. "I uh... couldn't tell."

Lily rolled her eyes, arms crossed under her breasts. "Look, your in a place called the Granger. Here, there are only female monsters. Vampires, nymphs, toad girls, werewolves, kitsunes, fauns, all kinds of monsters. And as I said, we're all female. So, to reproduce, we need to find human men to become our husband. However, we only ever pick one husband per monster. Don't worry, you aren't the only guy here. You'll have a hard time finding the others, though. They're probably... preoccupied."

"Why human men and not other monsters?"

"Women can't get each other pregnant, stupid."

"I mean male monsters!"

"Oh. Uh, thing about that is... we exiled them all."

Jack's mouth dropped open. "Why would you-"

"Long, long story. Now, as I said, only one husband per monster. Harems aren't a thing here, because, well... some people are a bit picky about that. So, your job here is simple: go out, woo some lovely monster's heart, and make sweet, sweet love to her, before you both settle down for the rest of your days in a blissful marriage."

Jack frowned, thinking. "You mentioned harems-"

"One second," Lily said, and snapped her fingers, producing a parchment out of seemingly nothing as well as a pair of reading glass. She cleared her throat and began reading.

"Under article fifteen, all harems are hereby banned by special decree of Tiamat, Mother of All Monsters. Any found to have violated this article will be punished via consumption by Tiamat."

With another snap of her fingers, both parchment and glasses vanished. Jack stood there, dumb-struck.

"Hey, I didn't make this law, Tiamat did. Although, casual flings aren't off the table. In fact," Lily pointed off to the side, "in that direction is the Inn of Grand Orgies, which houses- you know? It's exactly what is sounds like. If you and your partner - whoever that lucky girl is - want to indulge, stop by some time."

Jack followed her finger, then looked back to Lily. "You... have an inn? For Orgies?"

"Tiamat isn't only the Mother of Monsters, she's also goddess of carnal pleasure, sexual intercourse, non-sexual intercourse, forbidden carnal pleasures unknown to man, sapient/non-sapient carnal pleasure-" Lily stopped, realizing she had said too much.

Jack gagged. "I'm sorry, what was that last part? I'm going to be sick now."

"Barf in my direction at all and I will leave you blinded for life. And besides, we don't do here. Tiamat has a completely separate place for it. And it's as nice as it sounds."

"Okay, okay, okay, so... question now, what exactly am I supposed to do here?! Go out and ask a girl to marry me?"

Then Jack had an idea. He grinned at Lily. "Would you like to-"

"Fuck no." Lily answered. "I've got my eyes on someone else. As long as a certain prissy little fox minds her business..." she began to grumble.

"Okay, okay, but... where can I find a girl and ask her to marry me? I'm not sure Orgy Inn-"

"Inn of Grand Orgies."

"WHATEVER! Look, I'm not sure that's a good place to try."

"Hmm..." Lily held a finger under her chin, then began pointing it off to the side. "Remember how I said there are toad girls? In that direction is a pond. You could try there, toad girls are never far from water. Behind you," she pointed that way, "is a mansion of a vampire mistress who says she's waiting for the right guy. Who knows, that might be you?" Lily giggled. "Behind me," she jabbed her thumb in that direction, "is the Temple of the Fox, which houses kitsunes. There's probably a few over there who'd be fawning over you. And of course, in this place, you'll find just about any monster in the woods. Be warned, a few are a bit forceful and snappy, especially the fey, but some can be rather pleasant."

"Okay, thanks for the heads up. One more question, why is it night here?"

"Oh, that? That's not the night, that's Tiamat."

Jack went blank. "That's... Tiamat?"

"Yup. The moon and clouds? They are her scales, same as the stars. She's always watching us, okay?"

"Right," Jack said, smiling and looking up at the vast Mother of Monsters while poorly hiding his anxiety. "So... thanks for all that, I'll just... uh... I'll need to think for a few seconds, okay?"

"Be my guest," Lily said, curling her tail around her body.
