Lilith straightened up, towering over Neko, her gaze coming to rest on his trembling knees.
"On all fours," she commanded in a short, hard voice.
Neko felt his body react of its own accord. The [Submissive] talent acted like invisible puppet strings, forcing the boy down onto all four limbs in a fraction of a second. His hands, now clad in black sleeves, touched the soft rug beside the high heels that still held his feet. He looked up at the Queen, his eyes swimming with confusion.
"Meow? Meow meow?" he asked, but only a melodic meow escaped his throat.
Lilith nodded gravely, as if she understood his every word perfectly.
"I understand, Neko, I understand," she replied, though the expression on her face suggested something else entirely.
The Queen slowly crouched before him, so that her hips were level with his eyes. She reached out an open palm.
"Give me your paw."
Neko froze. He looked at her hand, then at her.
I'm a cat, not a dog, dammit! he thought furiously, but when his gaze met her golden, hypnotic eyes, he felt his entire will to fight evaporate. Obediently, he raised his right hand and placed it in her palm. Lilith squeezed it lightly and shook it a few times, smiling at him as if he were a small house pet.
"Once more... now the other paw," she commanded, letting go of his right hand.
Neko felt a wave of humiliation wash over his chest, down to the exposed underside of his breasts.
"Meowww... meow!" he whimpered, offering her his left hand.
Lilith shook it joyfully, then unexpectedly began to stroke his cat ears and the top of his head.
"Good kitten. Very good," she murmured warmly.
A violent shiver ran through Neko at the touch. His body, sensitized to every bit of praise and closeness, reacted with an immediate surge of arousal. He felt the pleasure spread down his spine, and a low, vibrating sound escaped his throat.
"Meow..." he meowed in a long drawl, instead of squeezing out a moan of bliss.
Lilith gave a mysterious smile, and in the hand that had just been stroking him, a small, neon-green star materialized. It smelled strange - sweet, but with a distinct note of herbs and magic.
"Here, you have a treat as a reward," she said, holding the star before his nose.
Neko sniffed the object, narrowing his eyes. "Meow? Meow meow?"
"Yes, it's food," Lilith confirmed, nodding.
Neko reached out his hand to take the star from her, but Lilith immediately swatted his fingers, pulling the treat away.
"Bad kitten! Bad kitten!" she scolded, wagging a finger in front of his face. "Animals eat with their mouths, not their paws."
Neko's eyes went wide. He looked at the star, then at her hand, his mind buzzing with protests. "Meow! Meow-meow-meow!"
Lilith, however, did not look inclined to negotiate. She shook her head, her gaze turning strangely serious.
"You'd really better hurry up and eat this, Neko. This treat will be very useful to you today. Without it, your day might be... quite rough."
Neko went still. He looked at the green star with a mixture of fear and curiosity. "Meow?"
Lilith only smiled enigmatically, giving him no other answer. Neko, feeling a mounting anxiety and the weight of the coming encounter, let out a quiet, sad meow. Slowly, he tilted his head, bringing his mouth to her open palm, and delicately took the green star with his teeth, accepting his role to the very end.
Seeing Neko take the green star directly from her hand with total devotion, Lilith squealed with excitement. Her eyes lit up, and an expression of pure, almost childlike delight appeared on her face, one that completely clashed with her dark majesty.
"Good Neko! Wonderful, good kitten!" she cried out, beginning to enthusiastically stroke his head and scratch under his chin, exactly the way one does with a household pet.
Neko, squinting his eyes under the caresses, felt the green star begin to fizz slightly on his tongue. Lilith suddenly turned serious. She cupped both his cheeks with her hands, forcing him to look her straight in the eyes.
"Listen to me closely now," she said in a low, almost warning voice. "Do not bite and do not swallow. Let it dissolve slowly. Spread the liquid over your tongue, cheeks, and your entire oral cavity. Do you understand?"
Neko, surprised by the gravity of her tone, obediently began to roll the treat around in his mouth. The star dissolved slowly, releasing a strange, cool flavor that reminded him of menthol mixed with electricity. He felt his mouth and throat fill with a tingling sensation that, instead of numbness, brought a strange feeling of lightness and strength.
Lilith, seeing his reaction, nodded in approval.
"That star has an effect similar to an Ethereal Stamina Core," she explained, letting go of his cheeks. "Thanks to it, your jaw and tongue won't tire or go numb, even if you work them through an entire, intensive day. It's an investment in your performance today."
Neko froze, a shadow of mounting panic appearing in his eyes. "Meow? Meow meow?!" he meowed in terror, but Lilith only smiled mysteriously, ignoring his question. She pointed a finger toward the deep alcove beneath her massive ebony desk.
"There, under the desk, a pillow is waiting for you. That will be your den for today. Go there now like a good boy and wait for your Mistress to change."
Neko looked at the desk, then at her, completely failing to understand why he had to lie in such a cramped, dark place. "Meowww... meow?"
Lilith gave no answer. She simply stood over him, looking down with an expectant gaze that brooked no argument. Neko felt his resistance finally snap. He let out a heavy sigh, resigning himself to the fact that today was one big lesson in being a little animal.
"Meow..."
Obediently, he moved on all fours toward the desk. When he crawled under the top, to his surprise, he discovered there was plenty of room, and a gargantuan, luxurious pillow of black velvet lay on the floor. As soon as he stepped onto its surface, he felt an incredible softness and comfort.
In that moment, his feline instinct took control. The soft fabric tickled his cheek, and the limited space under the desk provided a strange, primal sense of security. Neko spun around his own axis a few times before curling into a ball, snuggling his face into the velvet. His eyes glowed faintly in the shadows under the desk.
Maybe... maybe it won't be so bad after all, he thought, feeling a blissful peace and sleepiness wash over him, while above his head, Lilith began to rustle her royal robes.
Lilith completed her transformation with the grace of an apex predator. As soon as her heavy royal robes vanished in a magical swirl, they were replaced by an outfit far lighter, almost scandalous in its simplicity.
She now wore a white shirt, its top two buttons left provocatively undone, revealing a deep cleavage. The bottom was a very short black mini-skirt, so short that with every step, the fabric rode up dangerously. The Queen gave a small smirk, massaging her still slightly distended, sated stomach with her hand.
Before she sat down, however, she made a gesture that would have made any demon in the castle's heart stop. With a slow movement, she removed her lace panties, which were clearly soaked after her little play with her kitten, and carelessly tossed them onto the middle of the desk, right next to a stack of important documents. Remaining completely barefoot, without stockings or tights, she returned to her luxury chair.
Neko, lying on the soft pillow in the twilight beneath the desk, heard the rustle of fabric and the thud of the chair being moved. As soon as he raised his head, his eyes flared with an unnatural light.
Lilith pulled up to the desk, but instead of bringing her legs together, she spread them wide, resting her bare feet on the floor. From Neko's perspective, the short skirt hid absolutely nothing. Before his nose was a view of the Demon Queen's completely exposed, damp femininity.
"Meow?!" Neko let out a choked, instinctive sound, his tail thumping violently against the pillow.
Lilith let out a pearly laugh, hearing that feline disbelief. She reached for her pen and returned to work as if nothing were out of the ordinary, allowing the aura of her desire to fill the space under the desk.
"Do you like the view, kitten?" she asked in a sweet, honeyed voice, without looking away from the parchment.
Neko, stunned and completely dominated by what he saw, let out a long, admiring meow. "Meowwwwww... meow."
Lilith nodded, the corner of her mouth curling into a predatory smile.
"I'm glad. You may admire it for a while," she said, her tone suddenly becoming firmer. "However, stay exactly where you are lying. I know you're a little slut who loves licking pussies and coming at every opportunity, but now I require a bit of self-control from you."
Neko felt the green star in his mouth pulsing, and his own desire, amplified by the sight and scent of Lilith, began to press painfully against the cage. He wanted to lung forward, to sink his tongue into her warmth, but the Queen's command was absolute.
"Meow..." he murmured sadly, resting his snout on his paws, but never taking his eyes off the "view" Lilith had so generously provided.
