immediately felt safer away from all the eyes on the street. She began flipping through the racks, searching for just the right outfit for her date. Her tension melted away as she consid ered her options. Arms full of clothing, she headed to the dressing room to see how things looked on her.
It took about five different outfits before she settled on the right one. It was a long, sky-blue wrap cardigan that tied at the hip, accentuating her slender hips and tiny waist. The top was conservatively cut, not too high, not too low, and for a moment Sylvia considered finding something that showed off more cleavage until she remembered it was an Innocent she was trying to seduce. The cardigan molded nicely to her ample breasts and she decided it was showy enough. Mason would have to be blind to miss her rack, if he hadn’t already noted her full breasts during the K-cup fiasco.
The black skinny jeans she wore underneath the cardigan showed off her slender, shapely legs. Even with the long sweater on she looked leggy and lean. She frowned as she examined the back of the outfit. The cardigan covered her ass and she felt remorseful about hiding one of her fantastic features. No matter, she could show off her ass the next time they met. She would do whatever it took on this date to make sure there was a next time. Not only did she yearn to feed from an Innocent but now her territory depended on it too. She had to make this work in her favor. She would be whoever Mr. Mason Kent needed her to be in order to sleep with him. This was a game Sylvia could not afford to lose.
As she left the dressing room and began hanging up her discarded choi ces to be returned to the racks she did a double-take at a young man shopping nearby. Sylvia cringed as she quietly made her way to the register to make her purchases. She knew that young man, though she couldn’t recall his name. It was the guy she had picked up in a bar in Chinatown recently, the first mid-grade on the night of her double feed. She could still hear the desperation in his voice as he pleaded to see her again while she made her hasty exit. She had no interest in repeating a night with him or causing a scene in the store so she did her best to get out of there undetected.
Bags in hand, former feed successfully evaded , Sylvia felt better out on the street until she remembered the weird feeling she had gotten on the subway. Her nerves got the better of her and she hailed a cab to go home. As she watched the city streets pass by she hoped the Hunter would be caught quickly. She’d never been fearful in this city she loved, and she didn’t care for it. Once the Hunter had been caught, once she slept with Mason and reclaimed her territory, life would go back to being business as usual.
Chapter 7
Sylvia was so excited about her date with Mason she could hardly sleep that night. Succubi usually didn’t date, in the traditional sense, as they preferred one night stands to actual relationships, but she would put up with some old fashioned courting if it got her what she wanted in the end. She didn’t just want to defile Mason now, she needed to defile him in order to secure her place in the city. There was a lot riding on this initial date. She had to grab his interest and keep it long enough to get him into bed. That would be easy with any other man, but Innocents like Mason didn’t work like all the others. It would take more than a flirty smile and a flash of her big breasts or shapely ass. She looked forward to the personal challenge Mason presented.
Secretly Sylvia wanted to win Lilith’s Challenge to show up Elora more than she looked forward to re-establishing the rights to her own territory. Elora was a pest that required extermination, and winning the Challenge was the perfect way to show her she’d picked the wrong fellow succubus to toy with. She would humiliate her in front of Lilith and make her regret the day she had ever come to Boston when she finally slept
