My stepsisters are sexy demons, and I must protect them-Chapter 69: An ephemeral freedom

«So, this is where my beloved daughter is hiding?» Raelos asks—the alluring incubus with long, jet-black hair and glowing violet eyes.

As always, he’s shirtless.

He is seated in the backseat of a 4x4 SUV, surrounded by three stunningly beautiful, completely naked women with blank stares.

They move over him like puppets without will, their minds enslaved by his magic..

The women rub his chest, lick his neck, kiss him.

They pleasure him in every possible way—constantly, without pause.

«This is where the mark left on Esmeralda Garroza’s body led us. I can’t say for sure if your dear Ana is with her, but I see no reason why she wouldn’t be,» Velshekar replies, glancing at him through the rearview mirror.

Velshekar, still in the body of the dark envoy that once belonged to his subordinate Oliver, sits in the front passenger seat.

At the wheel is one of his loyal followers.

Since the night of Shin Tendo’s ambush and the resulting increase in surveillance by HESPARC U.S. and Cassian Thalukvar’s orders, Velshekar has been forced to temporarily shelve his plan to expand his influence on Earth through money and power.

He has withdrawn from New York’s criminal underworld for now.

But despite that, his vast network of humans and demons continues to grow.

They reached the island of São Vicente, in Cape Verde, using one of Velshekar’s private planes.

From there, they travelled overland across the African desert.

«Stop here,» Velshekar orders his subordinate.

In the distance, a small village appears—just a handful of scattered houses, all far apart, facing a beach with crystal-clear waters.

The area is surrounded by a lush green oasis.

A true paradise on Earth—a picture-perfect view.

Velshekar steps out of the SUV, followed by Raelos.

The subordinate and the three women remain inside.

He marches quickly toward the village.

Raelos follows close behind.

«They’re in that hut,» Velshekar says, pointing at a wooden house much farther from the village center than the others.

Raelos flashes a wicked, satisfied smile.

«Perfect...»

And then...

—SCHRRAACK!

«W-What the...?»

Black blood gushes from Velshekar’s mouth.

He looks down, trembling in pain.

Raelos’s arm, coated in a faint mist of glowing purple electric particles, pierces through his chest.

The heart clenched tightly in his hand.

«As a thank-you for leading me to my daughter, I’ve decided to kill you without too much pain,» Raelos sneers.

Raelos pushes his arm deeper into Velshekar’s chest, reaching all the way to the shoulder.

«Y-You bastard...»

More blood gushes out, mixed with violent coughs.

Velshekar can’t move.

Even his green flames are frozen.

His body and soul are paralyzed by the purple electric mist surrounding Raelos’s arm.

Blood splashes onto Raelos’s face—he licks it off with delight.

«This is the price you pay for stealing my precious daughter’s virginity just to awaken her powers prematurely. When I entrusted her to you, I made myself clear. But your thirst for power made you defy me—just to add a powerful demon to your pack of bootlickers. You stole from me the greatest honor of a father: helping his daughter awaken her succubus powers. That disrespect, I will not tolerate!»

Raelos suddenly pulls his arm out of Velshekar’s chest—still clutching the heart between his fingers.

«I... I’ll kill you, damn incubus! Even if it’s the last thing I—»

He doesn’t finish.

Raelos crushes the still-beating heart in his hand, turning it into a mess of torn muscle and blood.

Velshekar’s body collapses, face-first into the sand, black blood pooling beneath him like tar.

♡♡♡

«I wonder how my beloved Hakuto is doing... It’s been seven months since I last saw him, yet I miss him more each day,» Ana Garroza murmurs, falling back onto her bed.

Her gaze stays fixed on the wooden ceiling of the hut, full of quiet resignation.

«Just a little more patience, Ana,» her mother Esmeralda calls from the kitchen. «You’ll see—once the media forgets about you, you’ll be able to return to your beloved Soulmate.

I’m sure he’s thinking about you day and night too.»

«Do you really think so, Mom?» Ana asks hopefully, hugging her pillow.

«Of course. I’m sure that—»

—KNOCK! KNOCK!

A knock at the door interrupts Esmeralda’s words.

«Who could it be at this hour?

I swear, if it’s another villager trying to make me his wife, I’ll fry him!» Ana grumbles, clearly annoyed.

«Don’t worry, dear. I’ll handle it,» Esmeralda says, marching toward the door with a heavy, threatening step.

She holds a staff, just in case the suitor proves too persistent—she can’t use her succubus magic on them.

«I’ve already told you a thousand times that my daughter—»

ZAP!

Esmeralda barely manages to open the door before a thin beam of electric energy pierces between her eyes.

She falls backward with a heavy thud.

The sound draws Ana’s attention instantly.

She bolts out of her room and...

«NO, MOM!!!»

Screams of pain and despair burst from her throat.

She throws herself on Esmeralda’s body.

Ana’s wide eyes overflow with tears.

She starts licking the wound between her mother’s eyes, using the healing saliva of succubi, ignoring the one who shot her.

«PLEASE, MOM, HOLD ON! OPEN YOUR EYES!»

She licks even more desperately at the hole between her mother’s eyes—but it’s no use.

Healing magic has no effect.

Esmeralda died instantly.

Ana lets out a scream of terror as something begins to ooze from her mother’s ears—her brain, reduced to a nearly liquid pulp.

It’s then that she sees him.

A towering figure—about two meters tall.

Massive purple wings.

Violet eyes.

An incubus.

Raelos.

The terror and despair in Ana’s gaze shift into something else—rage.

Fierce, overwhelming rage.

«You... you killed my mother...»

Ana stands back up.

Large purple wings burst from her back.

Electric surges dance across her skin, crackling wildly around her.

«...get ready to die, bastard!»

She curls her fingers like a small cage.

A sphere of electric plasma begins to form between them.

She’s ready to strike—

But suddenly freezes.

Raelos’s eyes begin to glow.

And then Ana’s eyes glow too.

The electricity around her vanishes.

So does the rage on her face.

Her arms drop limply to her sides.

Her expression turns calm, empty.

Like someone trapped in a waking trance.

«Who... are you?» Ana asks.

Her voice is weak, flat, detached from reality.

«My name is Raelos. I’m your father, little Ana,» he replies sweetly, arms extended toward her.

But she remains still.

She doesn’t run into his arms.

Something inside her resists.

Something keeps her frozen in place.

Another flash in Raelos’s eyes—followed by one in Ana’s.

Then, she steps forward.

She lets him embrace her, though she doesn’t hug him back.

«My father...» she repeats, her tone still blank.

«What are you doing here...? And why did you kill Mom...?»

«It’s a parent’s duty to protect their child’s life, even at the cost of their own. She failed. She let Velshekar’s men defile your body. An unforgivable insult—and I’ve already punished it properly. But now, you have nothing to fear, my daughter. From now on, I’ll be the one to protect you,» Raelos says, holding her tightly.

His love is real—even if he’s controlling her mind with incubus magic.

«And now...» Raelos leans forward, face to face with her.

His hands begin to touch her—he gropes her breasts, strokes her ass, runs his fingers between her thighs.

Another flash from his eyes reflects in hers.

Ana stays completely still.

Raelos’s hands savor every inch of her body.

Then, his tongue slides into her mouth.

Greedy.

Impatient.

As if he had waited for this moment his entire life.

Only when the glow in Raelos’s eyes grows stronger and lingers longer does Ana begin to kiss him back.

She touches her father the way he touches her.

Her hands reach for the waistband of his pants.

She pulls them down in one swift motion.

She kneels before him.

An enormous erection—inhumanly large—rises before Ana’s blank eyes.

She wraps her hands around it.

Brings it to her mouth.

Licks the tip.

Then slides it in.

Her head moves rhythmically, mechanically.

Like a robot without emotion, without passion.

Programmed for only this.

«Yes, Ana...» Raelos pants. «Satisfy your father like only a daughter can. I surrounded myself with human whores to fill your absence. But now that you’re here, I don’t need them anymore...»

Ana pulls away.

She stands up, back turned to him.

She slips off her panties and tank top—the only clothes she wore, thanks to the African heat—and lets them drop at her feet.

She bends forward.

Arms stretched against the wall.

Her back arched.

Her ass pushed out.

Ana’s body—irresistible.

Her exaggerated breasts.

Her wide, firm hips—like those of a Latin goddess—tempt Raelos as much as his own magic does.

He grabs her from behind.

One hand gripping her waist.

The other clutching her breast.

His massive cock pushes inside her—but not easily.

Even soaked with the influence of an incubus, her pussy is too tight for something that massive.

He pushes again.

Blood starts to drip between her legs.

«This is all that bastard Velshekar’s fault! If I had awakened you myself, as I should have, your body would’ve adjusted to mine. There wouldn’t be any of these problems! I should’ve made him suffer more!»

Raelos pushes harder.

More blood trickles down from her torn flesh.

Ana remains unresponsive.

Emotionless.

Empty.

As if nothing happening to her is real.

Yet...

Her eyes, dulled by pain, begin to shed tears.
