Neko slapped his cheek sharply, his face burning with a stinging shame. Hell, get it together! he scolded himself, trying to suppress the vivid images his unnaturally stimulated mind kept conjuring. He stared at Elene's back as she walked ahead of him with a measured stride, breathing a sigh of relief, convinced the succubus hadn't heard his quiet muttering.
However, the moment his gaze settled on her hips and that heart-tipped tail again, another lewd thought began to sprout in his mind. In that same fraction of a second, Elene's tail lashed back like a whip. Before Neko could even blink, the heart-shaped spade at the end shoved itself straight into his mouth.
"If you like my tail so much, you can hold it in your mouth for a while," Elene tossed out, not even turning around. Her voice was cold, radiating absolute dominance.
Neko's eyes widened in shock, and the bell on his own little tail gave a short, terrified jingle. He had no choice - Elene didn't slow her pace, so he had to walk right behind her, keeping her smooth, demonic tail in his mouth. A powerful shiver of desire racked his body, and the penis in the metal cage began to throb painfully, straining against the bars with renewed force because of the situation he'd found himself in.
And so they walked through the castle's hollow, monumental corridors - a succubus and a cat, connected in this bizarre, intimate way. Neko wondered privately what any third party would think, seeing him in a scandalously short skirt, obediently following a maid with her tail in his mouth.
Curiosity and the [Hunger for Closeness] talent soon overrode his fear. Neko began to slowly, almost timidly, explore the texture of the tail with his rough, feline tongue. Elene felt that wet touch, and a sudden jolt of unexpected desire raced down her spine. A barely visible smile touched her lips as Neko, emboldened by the lack of punishment, began to lick the tail faster and more confidently.
Suddenly, the tail was violently wrenched from his mouth. Neko let out a quiet, sad whimper, feeling a sudden sense of emptiness. Elene merely snorted and stopped before the familiar doors of the classroom.
"Stop drooling so much, you horny slut," she snapped with contempt, though her own breath was coming a bit faster. "You're lucky I didn't make you lick it in front of Bovina anyway. Get inside, and don't embarrass me in front of her."
Mortified beyond measure, Neko adjusted his skimpy skirt and slowly pushed the heavy wing of the door. Behind him, he heard only the retreating, rhythmic clack of Elene's heels, which slowly faded into the depth of the corridor.
Neko pushed the heavy classroom doors open, the quiet tinkle of the bell on his tail announcing his arrival. Bovina, standing at her desk, immediately raised her head and went still. She didn't even need to look at his scandalously short skirt or the misty white blouse hugging his breasts. She instantly sensed the gargantuan, almost physically dense aura of desire that poured into the room along with the "kitten."
Bovina whistled softly under her breath, looking him over.
"Even in our castle, one rarely encounters such an... exhibitionistic aura," she remarked, the bells at her breasts trembling. "Sweetie, you'd better not wander deep into the castle today. Your current aura is literally screaming at every demon you meet: 'please, fuck me.'"
Neko let out a heavy sigh and, with a slow gait, his heels clicking, walked toward his chair. He sat down carefully and placed the two assignment sheets he'd worked on for four hours yesterday onto the desk.
"It's not my fault..." he choked out, burying his face in his white-gloved hands. "I don't know what's happening to me, but I feel like every cell in my body is starving for attention. Just a moment ago... I told Elene I wanted to feel her predatory tail on my skin."
Bovina let out a pearly laugh, her ample bust bouncing cheerfully.
"Well, Elene can be very persuasive, but I see your new class is really starting to take the reins."
She stepped toward him to collect the assignment sheets. However, she noticed that Neko wasn't listening to her words at all - his gaze was completely and shamelessly fixed on her gargantuan breasts, which were practically spilling out of her corset. Bovina was used to such looks; with her size and reputation as a "kindly cow," it was hard to expect any other reaction. Still, she realized that in this state, Neko wouldn't learn a thing today.
"Sweetie, look at me," she said gently, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Give me your hand."
Neko, still as if in a trance, extended a trembling hand. Bovina took it in hers; her skin was warm and soothing. With a swift, sure motion, she traced a complex symbol resembling a Golden Cow onto the back of his hand.
"Aura Sedativa," she whispered.
The mark flared with a pure golden light for a moment, and Neko felt as if someone had suddenly poured a bucket of ice water over his burning brain. The fog of desire that had been clouding his rational thought since morning suddenly lifted. His eyes widened with every passing second as the memories of the last hour began to register in his consciousness.
"Oh no..." he groaned, clutching his face, which was now burning with pure embarrassment. "What the hell has been wrong with me since this morning?! I... I licked Elene's tail! And those comments..."
I'm truly pathetic, he thought, his cat ears flattening against his pink hair in shame. How could I lose control so completely?
Bovina, seeing the change in Neko's expression, smiled gently and patted his cheek.
"You should feel much better now, sweetie," she comforted him, the bells at her breasts making a calming sound.
Neko nodded slowly, feeling his mind finally stop pulsating from the sensory overload. Curiously, he raised his hand and began to study the shimmering golden cow symbol Bovina had traced on his skin.
"What is this, exactly?" he asked, squinting as he tried to understand the nature of the magic.
"It's one of my skills," Bovina explained, leaning against the desk, which caused her ample bust to ripple slightly beneath the tight corset. "In short: it puts your brain into a state where learning and grasping new things becomes much easier. Additionally, this mark blocks out all other stimuli that might distract you. As you've noticed yourself, desire doesn't exactly go hand-in-hand with effective education."
Neko nodded, feeling that for the first time since receiving his new class, he could think about something other than the craving for intimacy. He looked at Bovina with a sudden spark of hope in his eyes.
"How long will it last?" he asked timidly.
"With my mana reserves, I can maintain this mark continuously for several days," she replied carelessly.
Hearing this, Neko felt a surge of pure joy. His cat ears shot up, and the bell on his tail jingled happily. He suddenly became incredibly excited, a vision of salvation taking root in his mind.
"Could you... could you keep this on me all the time?" he blurted out feverishly. "If you did, I wouldn't have any trouble surviving my class effects! Maybe thanks to you, I can save myself from this damn [Sex Slave] class and this constant hunger!"
Bovina suddenly turned serious. She raised a hand, cutting off his torrent of words.
"Stop, stop, stop, kitten. Slow down," she said in a low, firm voice. "We can only use this mark while you are near me, here, in this room."
Neko's eyes went wide, and his enthusiasm vanished instantly. "Why? Can't you maintain it from a distance?" he asked, disappointed.
Bovina slowly shook her head. "I could do that," she admitted, which only confused the kitten further.
"Then why won't you?" Neko pressed, feeling his chance for a normal life slipping through his fingers.
Bovina gave a mysterious smile and leaned toward him. "Tell me, sweetie... who gave you your class?"
"From... Mistress Lilith," Neko mumbled, nervously adjusting the hem of his scandalously short skirt.
"Exactly. And do you think Lady Lilith didn't know exactly what that class does and what attributes it has?" Bovina continued.
Neko frowned and, after a moment, answered quietly, "I'm sure she knew."
"If she knew, then why didn't she give you any remedy for your [Hunger for Closeness]?" Bovina straightened up, her bell chiming clearly. "You see, if even someone like me is able to neutralize that effect, Lady Lilith certainly possesses far more powerful methods."
Neko felt a cold shiver down his back. He understood where the teacher was going. "Lilith wouldn't want that, of course..." he whispered, his voice trembling. "She loves it when I'm her horny kitten."
Bovina nodded with a hint of sadness in her eyes. "There is your answer as to why I won't do it outside this room. Lady Lilith wants you in exactly that state. By using this mark here, I'm already pushing the boundaries of her plans, because I know she prefers you consumed by lust. However, in that state, I can't teach you anything, so I have the right to use this method as an educational tool. But outside this hall? I wouldn't dare interfere with what Lady Lilith has decided for you."
Neko looked at her sadly, but after a moment he let out a heavy sigh, understanding her point of view. Bovina, despite her kindness, was loyal to the Queen and knew that completely blocking the effects of Neko's class could be seen as an act of rebellion.
"I understand... I won't ask again," he said quietly, casting his gaze down at his feet. "Thank you at least for this moment of peace here."
Bovina smiled warmly and patted his head again, ruffling the pink hair between his ears. "I'll help however I can, kitten. Now... since your mind is clear, let's see what you've scribbled on these sheets."
She stepped closer and picked up Neko's homework.
