I blinked a few times at the Succubus, and sighed. "I understand why he left. I didn't at the time, but I do now. He doesn't owe me anything, least of all an apology."
"He said you would answer that way. My Lord feels that he does owe you this." the Succubus explained.
"You're not going to give up on this easily, are you?" I asked.
"My Lord has bid me that I'm not to return until you return with me." She explained. "So no, I'm not giving up until you agree."
I thought about it for a moment, and weighed my options. "Okay. Give me a moment, and we'll go."
I closed the door, and changed into some clothes that weren't soiled from work. After returning to her, she opened a portal that took us to a massive castle, and we were led inside to what looked like a royal court that was filled with Mamono and their husbands. I hardly recognized my brother as he sat there beside the Demon Lord, one of the most stunning Mamono I had met. My brother immediately rose at my approach, arms outstretched.
"You decided to come, it's so good to see you, Br-"
I held a hand up to him in panic, giving him a look to silence him. The many Mamono in the room grew deathly silent at my gesture, but I hugged him all the same.
"I need to talk to you, alone." I whispered as we embraced.
He nodded, and we excused ourselves to a large balcony, away from his many servants.
"Sorry for that reaction. I don't want the single ones all over me for knowing your Brother is single." I explained.
"I...didn't think about that. In that case, thanks for stopping me." He laughed a bit sheepishly.
"I was told you feel like you owe me an apology?" I asked.
He sighed, and nodded. "I left quickly, and without any explanation, because-"
"-You reacted to being selected by the Demon Lord the way any other man would have." I interrupted. "You don't owe me an apology, but a letter saying that you were alive and well would've been nice. I've lived out in the sticks, away from everyone to stay away from The Order."
"That's why I wanted to find you. I want to offer you a place here in the castle, so you can be safe and I can have what little family I have left close to me." He explained.
"I honestly, would like nothing more." I replied. "But I'd like some food first. I haven't eaten today."
We stepped into the hallway, down a side corridor. "I'll get you a room set up. In the meantime, I'll let you stay in our private guest room."
We approached a rather ornate door, which he pushed open, revealing what was the equivalent of a five star hotel room, with a king sized bed and a small balcony.
"I'll have someone bring you dinner in a bit. I don't want you in the dining halls with horny Mamono trying to sleep their way to my consul." He explained.
I nodded. "No rush, but I am pretty hungry."
I laughed. "I remember your appetite, Bro. I'll make sure to send you a big plate."
He left, and I sat on the edge of the bed, kicking my shoes off. I stretched out on the bed as a knock on the door startled me. I poked my head outside the door, and a Wererabbit stood on the other side, holding a small plate with a cloche over it.
"Dinner time, sir." She said sweetly and bounced past me into the room before I could protest, but brushed it off and closed the door.
As I turned to her to ask her to leave, I couldn't help but notice this Wererabbit was beautiful. Cinnamon colored skin and eyes, her fur and hair a shade darker brown with a sizable bust, but my eyes were glued to her large bouncy butt, which is a big weakness of mine, and mostly revealed by her style of dress. As she placed the plate on a table, she leaned over, giving me a much better view of her rear and giving me a raging hard on that I was unable to hide as she turned around.
"Please enjoy the-" she started, but her eyes locked onto my crotch, which I was trying to cover, to no avail. A smile crept onto her face, and she hopped towards me until she was in my face.
"Maybe you wanted something else? Maybe some...dessert before dinner?" she asked lewdly, placing a hand on my chest.
I hesitated for a moment, this being what I had been avoiding in the presence of my Brother, but I couldn't help myself, grabbing two big handfuls of her butt. She gasped, and leaped onto me, knocking me onto the bed and shedding her clothes, and quickly got down to business.
Several Hours Later...…
The door to my room opened again, my brother entering.
"Hey bro, are you-" He trailed off at the sight of me and Roxy, the Wererabbit, under the covers, her feeding me the last of the food that was brought up earlier.
Roxy noticed his presence, and nearly squealed as she hid under the covers. "My Lord! I'm sorry! I'll leave immediately!"
"NO YOU WON'T!" My Brother commanded in an authoritative voice. "YOU WILL STAY UNDER THOSE COVERS AND KEEP MY BROTHER, YOUR NEW HUSBAND NICE AND WARM!"
"Yes My Lord!" She squeaked, cuddling close to me and wrapping her legs and arms around me. "Wait.....Brother?"
"THAT'S RIGHT! THAT MAN IS MY BROTHER, AND YOU HAVE BEDDED HIM! KEEP HIM HAPPY, AND YOU'LL BE AN EXCELLENT SISTER-IN-LAW TO MY FAMILY!" My Brother declared.
"Bro, stop being so dramatic." I said, laughing at his ridiculous booming voice.
"Sorry. I came to get you because your room has been set up." He explained.
"Give me a few minutes, and we'll join you." I replied. He nodded, and left the room.
"Wait...So I'm related to him now?"Roxy asked
"Yes, and his name is William. Only call him that when we're alone with him, though, appearances and all that. Well, shall we go to my new, royal room and break in the bed there?" I asked.
She gave me a quick peck. "Ooh, I like the sound of that. Can't wait."
Then let's not wait." I said, pulling her up with me to get dressed.
