Markus.

  The heat was what first hit him… The humid moisture emanating from within immediately caused his gsses to fog and activate their enchantment.

  That bzing and moist warmth now filling the air around him, and the locale from which it emanated was both fascinating as it was impossible to understand…

  Markus wasn't even disgusted.

  He was more—well, simply captivated by the sight…

  As the hot, damp plume of faintly citrus-scented air flowed over his face, the four fleshy pink petals he was presented with quivered as they slowly opened, the entrance they protected abruptly drooling thick strands of clear syrup that slid away in long stringy trails...

  Markus was utterly mesmerized by all of it!

  Biology had always sort of interested him. And as a mage who had dabbled a year or two in alchemy while at the college, he knew there were quite a lot of crossovers that had led to him nearly choosing alchemist as his profession rather than opting for a css.

  Yet, what he saw was, simply put, unlike anything he’d really seen in diagrams…

  The four petals fluttered as they approached his face, continuing to open and close as they came so close that he could have reached them with his tongue.

  There, they waited for him, stretching wider to reveal the secretive entrance beneath, carefully protected by the strange pink fps.

  “Those are where the silk comes from.” The spider offered, watching as his horrified face shifted rapidly to confusion, uncertainty, and then interest. “You see the small nubs at each end?”

  Markus nodded, blinking while staring at the small puffy protrusions she was referring to. Yet, before he could ask the question that came to mind, he stared in fascination as the four petals began to tremble, a thick and viscous substance beginning to flow from each one…

  It was almost fluid-like, pouring more than pulling, each strand possessing a liquidy weight to it that caused it to stretch and wobble like jelly before abruptly cutting off, nding against the web below him in audibly wet plops…

  That was positively lewd!

  And when Markus looked up to scrutinize the woman, he saw she was grinning at him with mischievous delight, clearly knowing what she was doing. “That concoction isn't very useful for building webs, but god forbid anything gets it on them; it's as much slime as its glue, and If done right, I can even fling rge quantities of it at someone quite far away, given its weight.”

  “How strong is it?”

  “Oh, I doubt anyone in the second tier would have a hope to break my version. But newborns? Hm, I'm not sure… I’ll have to see where the system pces their natural statistics. They should be fairly high, assuming I’ve done my job correctly, but… I would advise avoiding it at all costs.”

  “By the way,” She added a moment ter, “I don't mind if you want to have a suckle, but none of my important nerve endings are there; those py a more supportive role in it all. No, what you're really after is what’s inside!”

  Markus nodded, eyeing the four petals before swallowing, gncing further into her interior to see what she was referring to.

  Inside, where a copious quantity of fluid was already leaking, was a singur hole. Pink and smooth, soft as her silk but eerily disturbing all the same…

  Her entrance was an almost prehensile and fleshy cylinder that was currently reaching out for him, the sweltering bliss that waited inside seeming to have a mind of its own as the small protrusion shifted and wiggled with expectation.

  It almost seemed to bite at him, folding on itself and opening again to the squelching sound of slick suction as it mimed a pair of lips that sought out the object of their desire with hungry purpose…

  “N-normal ones don't look like that—right?”

  “Ahah! No, but normal ones won't nearly be as much fun either!” The spider ughed, her opening trying to get at his face with renewed purpose, its questing eagerness almost a tad bit terrifying…

  “Also, you're lucking out in some ways… I didn't add a clitoris. Rather, the entire opening is simply extremely sensitive… Ugh, almost too sensitive, really… I’ve actually achieved climax several times, by um… ying eggs…”

  This st part was spoken with true embarrassment, the spider’s lovely face brightening as much as his own. She smiled at him somewhat sheepishly, taking in a deep breath as she continued.

  “Honestly, it won't be hard to give me pleasure. Simply lick, py, and tease me with youth lips and tongue. No teeth; nobody wants that down there. But, otherwise, there aren't too many wrong answers. It’s—easy by design… After all, Abby did say she wanted her girls to be eager to breed…”

  Markus bobbed his head, taking in a deep breath as he prepared himself, then nodded again, this time with confidence as he met the monster's eye.

  Without another word, she pressed into him, her warm bulbous rear applying pressure to his face as he was squished against her ass, the webs he stuck to almost seeming to creak with the strain of her weight.

  She was heavy! And the way her dark flesh seemed to balloon against his face was actually quite lovely...

  She smelled amazing, tantalizing even, and as Markus felt the four pink guardians to her tunnel expand over his face, wetly cmping over his cheeks and chin, the sensation both slimy and sticky, her interior mouth finally brushing against his own…

  It was so—hot inside of her! His face was already glistening by the time he even opened his lips!

  Slowly, very slowly, and while flushing furiously as he maintained full eye contact with his lover, Markus slowly reached out with his tongue and gave her a little taste.

  The effect was immediate for them both.

  And while Markus found his eyes blinking with mild surprise, noting that, while not fruity, her fvor was certainly agreeable and even a little tart, what really shocked him was the reaction he got from such a small effort, and the sight made him outright pause.

  The monster had just flinched.

  Not only that but the manner in which she’d done it, so innocent with her feelings…

  Why had that been so attractive?

  Again, Markus reached out, meeting the almost desperate opening, carefully watching the woman as he did so.

  Again!

  There it was!

  A visible shudder of delight!

  Vulnerability.

  Without allowing himself to overtly give his discovery away, Markus smiled beneath her steamy grip as he gently traced the rim of her quivering sex, this time eliciting a slight gasp as she bit at her bottom lip and took in a sharp breath!

  Now that was damned enjoyable.

  Objectively, Markus himself wasn't feeling any kind of intense stimution beyond what was happening to his face as the slick fps gripped at him with an oddly sticky interior. Yet, those reactions…

  “See something you like?” The monster grumbled, her eyes narrowing as Markus realized he was staring.

  “I see you if that’s what you're asking…”

  “Ugh, don't tell me you're a romantic?”

  He was a romantic!

  In fact, Markus had quite a collection of books in the genre. Nothing sacious, mind you, but he did have a weak spot for some sappy love…

  All the same, Markus reached out again, pushing into the blushing spider whose breath hitched as he ran his tongue along the entire perimeter of her orifice, the monster letting out a shiver and groan as her tunnel flexed and writhed with happiness! Almost quivering with its appreciation.

  “O-okay… I’ll admit—” She swallowed, her legs shaking for a half second, even as she cleared her throat to regain a bit of poise. “This is the first time I’ve been licked down there in this form and—oh shit… mmhmm... yeah… Fuck…”

  Markus wanted to ugh! Loving the way the monster’s voice began catching in her throat, a small groan of gratitude flowed from deep within her as he started licking at her in earnest.

  His tongue flickered around her rim, gliding across slippery, silken flesh, tasting the lubrication that continued to ooze from her quaking insides, pouring onto his tongue so he could swallow her thick juices.

  “Mmmmhmm, go a little faster!” She breathed as he slowly developed a rhythm. Circling her again and again, she rolled her shoulders backward, exposing her ethereal nipples that visibly awoke and stiffened as she thrust out her chest.

  The spider was softly panting when he began applying a little more pressure, a deep and shuddering breath wracking her body with a resonant shiver that caused her plump rear to tremble against his face.

  Its weighty heat began to gently bob back and forth against his body as she started to grind herself against him, her flexing torso almost dancing to a hypnotic rhythm, her hands sliding up and down her slender form with shameless delight!

  Her small mouth began ravenously reaching out for him, ever trying to capture his tongue as he wrestled with her, dancing and teasing as both slippery and lubricated appendages flowed across each other like oil and water.

  He would feint to the left, then slide his tongue up and around her greedy muscle as the spider whimpered with primitive delight!

  Allow himself to be momentarily caught as her aggressive sex tried to pull him in, desperately suckling at his tongue with a distressingly tight inferno’s warmth, only for her own fluids to work against her, Markus slipping away from the flexing opening as the monster mewled with pleasure and disappointment.

  Faster and faster, he circled her, almost sparing with her, the sound of her eagre squelches and his own growls of hunger and amusement making for quite the sloppy show as his cheeks dribbled her excess fluids that he simply couldn't take.

  They flowed from her as a river! Long tendrils constantly dripping then snapping as a flood of her excitement threatened to gag him on her fvor!

  “Oooooohhh fuck... Markus—”

  Looking up, the young man met the woman's eyes, having briefly lost himself in his work, enjoying it just a little too much, only to realize the face she was making was—

  “Fuck!”

  Markus’s gaze grew wide with surprise as the spider heaved back then smmed her rear against him, her eyes rolling, lips trying to speak, to offer warning, yet were forever stuck while gasping soundlessly!

  Her rear started to bulge against him, pushing him further and further as her webbing stretched and tore!

  Her inner lips cmped down on his tongue in his moment distraction, starting to shift and squirm over its length with hungering undutions far tighter than he’d really given it credit as she fucked herself on him, showing no mercy to her own looming climax.

  The monster's moans of pleasure started to flow into pitched keen as she smmed herself against his face, bulbous ass pounding and wobbling, pushing him back further and further as his whole body began wrapping around and imprinting into her meaty form with nowhere else to go!

  Then, with a final grunting push, she thrust herself deeper, trying to impale herself all the way to the back of his throat, only for her webs to abruptly—snap!

  Markus found himself freefalling, his momentary terror only accented by the abrupt wail of decadent pleasure that filled his ears as his lover screeched so loud it rang his ears!

  The spider's entire body locked up, legs curling in on themselves, abdomen flexing and waving as it bounced up and down, her spinnerets spyed as far as they could reach as her interior abruptly fountained a geyser of her orgasmic juices!

  The spray spshed across him like a whip! Coating him from face to shins in a steaming sptter of sticky fluid, soaking him even before he could contact, then bounce off the webbing below him!

  His heart was racing a mile a minute, eyes wide with exhiration, fear, and arousal as he watched the woman he loved lose herself to her own pleasure, nothing else in the world even registering as her soft gurgling grunts warmed his soul, the woman's whole body bucking and flexing in quick jerking movements that looked almost robotic.

  Did he, perhaps—do well?

  Thankfully, his answer came a short juncture ter, the spider gazing at him with her gcial eyes through a wild mess of her own hair, even as she heaved and struggled to settle her breaths.

  “Ohhh… that... mhmm, that was good.” She whispered, her contracting abdomen finally rexing as the enchantress who rode atop it brushed both hands through her long, silken tresses, pushing them back and behind herself with a heaving sigh.

  She was sweaty, glistening with perspiration, stretching her long torso before starting to pinch at her own nipples, twisting lightly as she appeared to finally calm into a rippling tranquility that spread across her form. R-right until she truly noticed he was on the floor.

  “Oh… are you okay?” The monster asked, her eyes growing a fraction wider with genuine uncertainty.

  “Pretty sure!” Markus chirped, smiling nervously as the massive arachnid shifted, scuttling in a circle to fully face and stand over him.

  Now that he was lying on his back, looking up at her, he realized just how intimidating her size truly was.

  She was—enormous… Just a single one of her legs was thicker than he was at its widest point.

  Almost twice his height in stature and far wider than he was with even his arms fully outstretched to either side…

  From below, it nearly felt like he could be right beneath her and never come close to so much as touching a single dangerous bck pte.

  Domineering, dauntless, more than just a bit frightening, and above all, looking at him with a kind of hunger he really hoped involved something fun rather than the alternative…

  Her body squatted, form lowering itself in an adroit manner before he found himself plucked from his back and cradled against her side, one of her hands resting under his rump…

  “Umm…”

  “I know it's awkward, but there’s not too many better ways to do it.” She sighed, clearly seeing how silly it looked for a grown man to be held this way right before Markus found himself smothered by her affection!

  A familiar and long tongue invaded him, quickly wrapping then submitting his own as they traded saliva, lips biting and jaws working like they were teenagers attacking each other while lost in passion.

  The rabid cravings for each other's bodies never slowed for an instant as Markus, this time, remembered how it was supposed to work, just as she'd shown him all those months prior.

  She mauled him, finally giving in to her own wants, forcing him backward and to the point he felt like he was about to fall for her grasp!

  Scrabbling for purchase, his heart leaping to his throat, his eyes shot wide as he held her for dear life!

  “Stop being such a baby!” She ughed, pulling away with a brilliant grin but allowing him to settle back against her all the same. “You know it's webbing down there, not stone, right?”

  “Yeah! But ugh, it’s usually stone under most circumstances... S-so obviously, it would be bad to get used to anything else… I’m just—practicing is all…”

  The monster stared at him, blinked, then let out a soft snort, shaking her head with a quick roll of the eyes.

  “That said,” He continued with a grin, “I guess I’ll be spending a lot of time up here, assuming I actually nd the job as a ‘Monster stud.' By the way, do I get paid? Or is it sort of a volunteer thing?”

  “Unpaid. And I’d say you were free to walk away and reject the offer—” The spider purred, one of her cws tracing the edge of his jaw, “But I’m going to keep you now. Like I said, this is your fault, really, I gave you plenty of opportunity to escape. Not that you’d st long in the wild if I released you—I mean, who in their right mind willingly walks into the den of a giant spider?”

  “Someone who—likes terrifying women?”

  “Pfft! It’s not going to be all rainbows and daisies, you know. I might not be so prone to emotional swings as I once was—but they do exist, and I’m much less human than you might think at this point… Tread carefully, and remember the golden rule. When I’m angry, just show your belly…”

  Markus nodded at that, figuring that, so far as advice when it was probably pretty good… He wasn't sure what spending rge amounts of time with a murderous and bckhearted ‘entity’ would really be like, but he assumed that any warnings of that sort should be taken with more than just a grain of salt.

  Doubly so, considering how lethal she was…

  He’d seen how quickly her mood could shift towards the deadly and also knew she really didn't need to work too hard to hurt somebody.

  As human as he made her out to be in his own mind, the fact of the matter was that all evidence actually pointed towards the contrary…

  More, with every new encounter with her, he was slowly coming to realize that the term 'monster' might not even be accurate. Though, as to what would serve better in its pce, well, maybe he'd figure that one out in due time.

  “S-so, do I get a—bedroom in the dungeon—o-or, your ugh, your nest?”

  “Oh! God no! You're already in an arming amount of danger just being here. Honestly, I’ve got no idea when those eggs are going to hatch, but given how lively they were getting—”

  Markus felt the blood drain from his face, which only made the spider chortle at him, pinching his cheek and thankfully avoiding ceration, as she giggled and gave him a wink.

  “I’m just joking! I wouldn't let you come to harm. That said, a spider's nest is in no way a home for anything but a spider. And, in all honesty, after we copute and I take your seed to produce another brood, I doubt I’ll be taking you as arachnea again, not unless you ask me for it.”

  “What?” Markus blurted, staring at the arachnid woman as his brows furrowed with confusion. “But I thought—”

  “Oh, you're going to be my stud, but that term applies quite broadly in this case. Abby’s got a list of creatures that I’ll be turning into. Not all of them quite so monstrous—but others could be definitely seen as worse…”

  “Wait—really?”

  “Yes, really, I think the next batch is going to be snakes—then foxes—slimes… the order isn't terribly important, and it is going to take time as she gets the engine rolling full steam, but, for the most part, were nearly done with the Arachnea.”

  “I mean, once these dies hatch and have some time to grow, the process of which will be quite quick, it will be they, along with Auntie Abby’ who will be responsible for their species. Won't be long before they get their own floor to run around and murder and fuck and py in.”

  Markus slowly nodded, unable to help himself but gnce at the other man, who was now awake and watching them from the corner of his eye.

  It was a desperate look as much as it was pleading, his cracked and dry lips trying to make a sound, but—it almost looked like his tongue had been cut from his mouth…

  Long fingers abruptly cmped around his jaw, his head being directed back to the spider, who was giving him a stern look. “Don't concern yourself with him. So far as it can be said, he’s already dead.”

  “It’s just sort of jarring to see…”

  “It is, isn't it? But, that is Abby’s vendetta, and unless you desire to ingratiate yourself to her bad side, I would suggest steering clear. She’s about as sane as I am… ha! Which really isn't saying much at this point…”

  Markus nodded, not really understanding but pushing past his issues all the same. “So,” he eventually asked, shaking free of the depressing reality of the other boy as his mind returned to their conversation. “I kind of want to ask, but—what exactly—are you?”

  The spider just stared at him for several long moments, almost like she wasn't sure what he was asking. Then, it appeared to dawn on her, and she let out a small chuckle with a predatory grin.

  “Maybe I’ll tell you if you actually win our bet. Until then, this is simply a guaranteed one-time deal, and beyond it, well, I suppose that’s for the future to decide. Either way,” She added after a beat, I can feel your stiffness, and we should put it to use, no?”

  Markus took in a deep breath, swallowing as he nodded, apprehensive but also somewhat excited. The woman’s—um, well, sex, he supposed, was definitely on his mind vis a vis what it would feel like as it slid over his erection. And currently, his pride and joy was practically red with furious rage that it hadn't yet gotten to come out and py

  Just remembering the spider’s slick and succulently grasping tunnel and what it might feel like to stick his cock in it was—ooof…

  He shuddered at the thought!

  “Do you want me on top, or do you want to pound my spider ‘booty’ from behind?”

  “Heh, you're giving me a choice?”

  “Oh, I’m fairly sure I know what you're going to choose.” She whispered, her tongue sliding out and curling around the back of his ear, tickling his lobe as it slithered and shifted.

  Markus swallowed… closing his eyes and knowing he could probably do better moving at his own pace but… well, damn it! All his dreams had been of her while pinning him from above!

  That mocking and amused smirk of her’s gleaming by the firelight as she took him, rode him, grinding his body into the ground…

  Markus hardly able to do more but surrender to her designs as she got herself off on his body…

  Knowing that such a powerful being pinned him, had complete control, and yet still needed him to ske her desires was…

  Oh boy… he was straining with renewed vigor!

  He knew it was weird! But he couldn't help it. And yes, having her bent over as he bucked into her as fervently and aggressively as a wild animal sounded fun; he’d been fantasizing about her utop him every night for weeks now and wasn't sure if he could give up the opportunity.

  Yet, on the other hand…

  “I want you from behind.” He stated, conviction filling his heart as the monster merely grinned at him with wicked delight, lowering Markus back to her web without a word.

  She shifted herself around, taking her sweet time to fully turn her massive body as the young man had to step back, simply to avoid being knocked to the ground again!

  But, when she positioned herself, meaty backside brushing softly against his chest, Markus had to take in a silent breath as he realized just how absurd their two sizes really were.

  Thankfully, there was no hair on the spider's rear, and it was, in all honesty, a lot less creepy now that he was getting used to it, but freaking—gods almighty! He could barely even wrap his arms around her! Her backside was so rge that she could likely seat it on him and suffocate his entire body under her crushing weight!

  Steeling his courage, despite facing down a goliath hungering to devour him, Markus pulled down his trousers, the mighty sword he’d use to sy this beast springing free to bounce in the air.

  That was when his mind decided to mess with him.

  Staring at his penis, then gncing back at the enormous figure before him, Markus found his shoulders wilting…

  He didn't usually have feelings of inadequacy, but—let's be honest here… Markus was staring down at his prick while suddenly wondering if she’d even—well, feel it…

  “It’s made for people your damn size!” The spider scoffed, giving him an exasperated look while somehow reading his thoughts. “My god, all you ‘men’ think that if it's not twelve inches long, girls are not even going to feel it!

  “Do you know what happened the st time I tried to take something that big? Ignoring how unfun it was to even get it to fit in the first pce, let alone trying to do anything once it was inside, I was fucking sore for a week! Utterly miserable experience.

  “Just stick it in and stop worrying! Lord, I could barely fit over your squishy tongue; your cocks are going to be a practical giant by comparison…”

  That—oddly enough, made Markus feel a deal better!

  But when he heard the condescending huff from the spider, he was punted right back down to embarrassment… Okay… he needed to just stop letting his brain mess with him.

  Still, as he took a handful of her thick abdomen in each hand, fingers squeezing into her oddly muscur flesh, he found himself swallowing nervously as her pink petals reached out for his pelvis, almost as if they were trying to pull him in and tch on as they had to his face.

  For a moment, he peered back up at the monster, eyes narrowing as she watched him with amused but calm consideration. Almost—too calm… M-maybe as though she knew something he didn't?

  Was he about to somehow blunder? I mean, he didn't think he was in any danger but…

  The wait was simply too much!

  And as his cock flexed, twitching as it neared her grasping tunnel, Markus realized all too te the trap that had been carefully id for him.

  “F-fuck—”

  As he slid himself into the spider's unduting entrance, the young man shivered with involuntary bliss!

  Her sweltering and dripping mouth eagerly gobbled at his head, swallowing his tip, even as it began milking and massaging his sensitive gns with mind-numbing suction and a wet grip…

  The sensation completely overwhelmed him! The young man, in that instant, realising just how quickly her was surrendering to nirvana…

  His expectations and assumptions of what she could actually do to him had been wildly underestimated!

  Markus's legs almost gave out as he released a truly pitiable moan of pleasure, feeling his self-restraint bottom right out as his balls scrunched, and he was taken right to the point of genuine danger!

  His eyes shot wide; realizing his predicament right before it was too te as he desperately tried to pull out! Desperately tried to escape the skyrocketing pleasure as she suckled at his tip, but, there was nothing for it as the spider’s gleeful chuckles filled his ear…

  The sticky petals had already made contact with his hips! And even as he tried to pull away, he found himself, to his horror, being dragged closer as the monster-hungering sex continued to gobble him! Ever sucking him in deeper to her sinful interior, wobble by hungry wobble.

  This was how it ended for him, wasn't it?

  Reeled in like a mindless fish after snapping at a lure…

  “W-wait!” He gasped, desperately pushing against the monster's thick rear, trying to keep himself from being pulled in ever deeper, hoping he could somehow negotiate or plead for a stay of execution, even as his hands sank into her rear, unable to find adequate resistance to push back with!

  As, his legs were already turning to jelly, the fight leaving his muscles as a sudden and monumental surge from deep inside his core abruptly erupted!

  And Markuss, without even making it halfway down his length, shivered as he surrendered, diving against the monster’s abdomen, hugging her with anguish and pleasure as he slid himself all the way to his base, cum already pumping from his cock while he bucked and moaned with deperate little humps, veins pushing out against his forehead as he sank into her dark flesh…

  All the while, the spider simply ughed from above, amused as it stared affectionately at the tiny and naive fly that had so foolishly flown into her web…

  Drip…

  It was hours ter that the young man finally stirred and opened his eyes… The gentle ssh and sptter of warm water that trickled at his cheek managing to pull him from his exhausted slumber.

  Everything hurt…

  From his bruised pelvis to his overly strained muscles that hardly responded to his commands.

  He was lying on his back; limbs spyed wherever they might y, his now fccid cock hanging as limply as his waning and battered spirit…

  It was so dark now that the lights were finally gone. Not so much as a single small glimmer giving him the means to see his surroundings.

  A thick and admitadly familiar gloom, really. Not too indifferent, he knew, from some of the dungeon's long and winding tunnels.

  And while he wasn't restrained, when he tried to move his limbs, they were simply too exhausted to answer him.

  Ha... well, it had definitely been better than his dreams! That was for sure... However, it had also been alot more intense and physically taxing than he really expected.

  Ooof… he felt like he’d tried to run a marathon, given up a third of the way through, then been forced to continue as someone picked him up and pushed him along, shoving potions down his gullet all the while…

  Markus groaned. Clearing his parched throat as he wearily blinked into the darkness, taking in a deep breath while wondering where he was and, more importantly, where the monster had gone off to.

  He shifted his head left then to the right, trying to see if he could glean an idea as to if there were some exit to the chamber waiting for him but, all he could determine was that there was some sort of soft silk hanging around his face.

  Odd, but it smelled quite nice all the same.

  Actually, it smelled like her.

  And Markus couldn't help but take in a long and happy breath of the intoxicating scent. Oh, chances were she'd pced him in some sort of bed with draping sheets...

  It was certainly comfortable enough for one! I-if not also bizarrely damp… Well, ‘spider nest…’ what did he know of how they liked to keep their homes.

  M-maybe she'd returned to the other girl or the ‘dungeon…’ strange as it was to say... presumably to finally let her down...

  Probably...

  It, after all, did make a sort of sense, considering how long she'd been left to hang there.

  Drip...

  The sudden resurgence of something warm and wet pooling against his cheek snapped him from his ruminations while still in the lul of his post-sex contemptions.

  The oddly thick, sticky, and naggingly familiar substance causing his eyes to slowly widen fraction by fraction as he clued in as to what it was...

  From above and appearing hardly more than a handful of inches away, a familiar grinning face emerged through the shadows, nothing but her beautiful disembodied face showing itself to him, her softly luminescent eyes scarcely providing enough light to see her salivating expression.

  Oh!

  Ohhhh…

  That’s right… their ‘wager.’

  Drool was seeping from her plush red lips, her savagely narrowed eyes brightening further until her shadow-cast face was fully illuminated, if not still shaded by darkness.

  Hah... he'd lost… right…

  And now here she was, patiently waiting for him to wake back up so, he could what? ‘Witness’ as she cimed her due?

  Dear gods… She really was a sadistic monster...

  He could even see it in her gaze! See her delighted glee as it dawned on him, what she'd done.

  The creature had allowed herself to endure her desires and be patient, just as a true spider, all while he'd slept and recovered so that her moment of trump could be ‘enjoyed’ by them both.

  Should he be happy she wanted to share her excitement with him? No… that was a bit of a stretch, even for him, still though…

  Shit...

  Though Markus would have liked to say he was terrified over what came next—at this point, he honestly wasn't even sure if he could work up the necessary emotions to be scared anymore…

  She’d shown him things that no mere mortal was meant to experience… And for it, Markus had come out the other side, seeing divinity itself.

  The problem was, so said goddess wasn't what he’d name ‘compasionate.’ Rather, she was quite malevolent, when all was said and done.

  And as if to prove that point, as she waited above him, the monster’s tongue reached out to nguidly drag across his jaw, sthering drool running down its length as though she desired to get him nice and wet for easy consumption...

  “So—I guess this is it then?” He asked, wanting to shed a tear, but, truth be told, he wasn't sure if there was any more moisture to give…

  His horrific lover’s tongue slithered back between her lips, expression growing wider and nearly splitting her face… “Hm! No, little fly, didn't I tell you I wasn't going to kill you, even if you lost?”

  “I wasn't talking about that,” He grimaced, swallowing dryly as she tried to shift himself to get more comfortable. “I was talking about—us…”

  “Oh…”

  A strange silence overcame them both, the warm and sticky drool of his one true love continuing softly patter against his right cheek where it was pooling around the side of his head…

  There felt to be so much of it… a truly absurd amount, that he sort of wondered just how long she’d been watching him, hungering after his sleeping form…

  “You know…” She offered, head tilting to the side amidst the sheer gloom of the now pitch-dark nest, nothing but the glow of her gaze letting him know she was even there. “I think, were I honest with myself. I might enjoy it if you started coming around a little bit more…”

  “R-really?”

  “Why not?" She chuckled then, the sound almost musical to the stark contrast of her horrifying visage. "Sure, you lost, but it was just a game, Markus. We're both adults; we don't have to abide by some silly presumption that we can't be together if we so choose. The game was fun, but now it’s over, and now, regardless of the result, I will admit to the benefits of keeping you…”
