While She Sleeps
Echidna's reproductive drive was fundamentally closer to that of a male. She was a direct descendant of the Great Snake, Echidna, and at the same time, an Alpha possessing a male genitalia.
Since she possessed a male organ, it was only natural for her to have a male reproductive urge. However, her exceptionally strong male libido was likely due to the thick blood of the Great Snake running through her veins. Furthermore, this was precisely the reason she had been able to play the role of a sage in this barren desert. The mating season of most male beasts is triggered in synchronization with the female's heat. Echidna, whose sexual desire was predominantly male, did not experience the recurring heat cycles typical of females, allowing her to focus calmly on her alchemical research. As for her male libido, since there had been no female to synchronize with, it had previously been practically nonexistent.
But the moment a human female named Roen entered her daily life, everything was thrown into utter chaos.
"Crazy, seductive little bitch."
Having never encountered female pheromones before, her cock had rarely emerged from beneath her scales—perhaps once every few years. There had been no need to manually ejaculate either; usually, if she just waited a few minutes, it would retract on its own.
Now, however, that was impossible. Sharing the same space with a female and constantly breathing in the fresh pheromones she exuded, her cock refused to go soft.
Even today, no matter how many hours she spent draining her semen, there was no sign of it running dry.
Since males naturally enter heat in response to females, an Alpha monster-girl like her could easily lead a life untroubled by lust. That is, as long as she was alone.
But what about now? She was no longer alone.
"Because of you, my cock won't go down...!"
Echidna glared at Roen, who wouldn't wake up for the next few hours no matter what, and let out a low growl. Before she knew it, her cock—now well over a span in length—had completely pushed past her scales, fully exposing itself to the world.
"With this..."
Every fiber of her being wanted to use this cock to ravage Roen until she was a complete mess. But she couldn't. Echidna was a direct descendant of the Great Snake. Possessing the pride of an Alpha, she could not bring herself to forcibly violate a sleeping patient. And yet...
"Just her hand... should be fine..."
Her patience had already worn paper-thin. Having finished her self-justification, Echidna decided that this much was perfectly acceptable. She gently took the hand of the deeply sleeping Roen and placed it over her own cock.
"Haa, haah..."
There was no strength in Roen's hand as it clasped the shaft. Though she was technically holding Echidna's fully exposed cock with both hands, her lack of consciousness meant she couldn't squeeze it warmly. But that was fine. Echidna could simply move Roen's hands herself. The only thing that mattered right now was the fact that a female was holding a male's cock and stroking it.
The visual stimulation was more than enough, and her split tongue was already flicking in and out, drinking in Roen's pheromones to drive her brain into a frenzy.
"Ah, haaaah..."
In the end, it took less than a few minutes for Echidna to blow her load into the sleeping Roen's hand. A thick, copious torrent of semen—enough to fill an entire teacup—drenched the floor of Roen's bedroom, but Echidna did not stop.
"Three times... I'll just cum three times and then leave..."
Even in her lust, she set a clear limit. Three times. Once Roen's hand had milked her exactly three times, Echidna planned to return to her own bedroom, sleep, and prepare for tomorrow.
Shlick, shlick, shlick. Just like that, Roen's hand was guided up and down the thick shaft—which was as long as Echidna's forearm—stimulating it until it repeatedly erupted with thick, white fluid.
"You... you're the one who made me so hard... It's only natural that I get this much service... Serve me... Serve meee!"
Before she knew it, the third load had already sprayed out, leaving Roen's floor completely soaked, yet Echidna did not stop. She stubbornly forced out two more, ejaculating five times in a row right then and there...
"Haah, haah..."
Though her breathing was ragged, her cock showed no signs of softening.
"Should I... should I make it ten?"
Just as she was about to completely drain herself ten times during Roen's very first sleeping handjob—
Chomp. Her own fangs sank deep into her left hand.
"N-no... She's a patient... F-five times is already too much..."
The remaining half of her rationality had forced her to inject herself with her own calming venom to keep her urges in check.
"C-calm down, Echidna. You... you are a descendant of the Great Snake. You shouldn't... you shouldn't just use a sleeping person like this..."
Indeed, injecting the venom helped. Perhaps because she had worked so hard to drain herself, her cock was finally beginning to subside...
"Cleanse."
Looking visibly exhausted, Echidna cast the basic cleaning spell, tidied up Roen's bedding, and slithered back to her own bedroom.
"T-that was close... If I had gone for ten on the very first day, I... I don't know if I would have been able to keep my sanity..."
It was truly a sight to behold—her comforting herself, thinking she was incredibly lucky to have stopped at such a critical moment. And for good reason...
Because the very moment she used the phrase 'on the very first day,' it meant that, subconsciously, she was already hoping today's act wouldn't be the last.
"Mmm, haah..." I woke up, stretching my limbs.
"I slept so well." I thought to myself that today was off to a great, refreshing start, but that feeling didn't last long.
"Huh?" Suddenly, my hands felt strangely numb.
Is it just my imagination? Thinking it was nothing, I rubbed the tip of my nose...
"Wait..." Why did it smell like this? There was a strangely sweet scent, almost like honey, wafting from my hands.
Did I apply lotion before going to sleep? No, I didn't think so. In the first place, cosmetics weren't exactly advanced in this fantasy world; it was an environment where you had to rely entirely on your natural skin.
"Why does it smell like honey?" I really hadn't applied anything... Tilting my head in confusion, I headed to the bathroom first, splashing water on my face to wake myself up. The lingering scent of honey brushed past the tip of my nose, smelling surprisingly pleasant.
After that... it was the usual daily routine.
"This one looks pretty. And this one is perfectly ripe."
I gathered some dragon fruit and cactus flowers from the cactus plantation and headed to the kitchen, preparing cactus flower pan-fried rice cakes in my own style. Once I finished neatly slicing the dragon fruit to serve as dessert—
"Ah, g-good morning, Roen."
"Yes, it's a wonderful morning, Echidna-nim."
"Did you sleep well last night?"
"Oh, absolutely! Thanks to the sleeping medicine you gave me, I slept so deeply that you could have carried me away and I wouldn't have noticed. Though, my hands are a bit numb, maybe because I slept on them wrong."
"Ah, y-your hands are numb..."
For some reason, Echidna avoided my gaze as she slithered into the kitchen, her snake tail making a soft rustling sound against the floor, and joined me at the table.
"Is something bothering you?"
"Ah, no? Nothing's bothering me at all. I'm perfectly fine."
Even as she spoke, she kept tugging down on her collar with one hand. I wondered why she was acting so strangely, but judging by her reaction, it seemed best not to pry too deeply.
"Alright, then. Let's eat breakfast first."
Whatever she was hiding from me, I decided to just laugh it off for now and picked up my utensils. After all, I could already picture her pinned beneath me on the bed, whimpering and crying out in pleasure once I finally got her there. She looked like a total pushover anyway, so I made a mental note to squeeze all her secrets out of her in bed later.
"Oh, so the chicken coop was over here? I was wondering where all those eggs were coming from." That day, too, I wandered around the mansion alone, gradually getting used to life in the Desert Mansion.
"I can just grab eggs from here, and I should ask if they can grow some ingredients I'm familiar with at the plantation. No, wait, going out to the city to look for decent ingredients should come first."
There was no need to rush. As I naturally integrated myself into Echidna's life like this, she would inevitably develop romantic feelings for me. That would be the moment I'd seize complete control. Once those romantic feelings blossomed into lust, and we began to unleash that desire in bed, Echidna would be pinned beneath me, doing nothing but letting out breathless, feverish moans.
"Echidna-nim, how about we visit a nearby city tomorrow?"
"The city? Why the city?"
"There are quite a few dishes I can make, but the ingredients in the mansion are a bit limited. Since I'm staying here, I should at least treat you to some delicious meals."
"Sure, I suppose that's fine. We'll do that, but first, let me inject the burn treatment."
"Ah, yes, sure..."
*Chomp.* I was in the middle of talking about something important in my own way, but the moment the words left my mouth, her fangs sank into my neck.
She really has no patience.
It seemed Echidna was quite the impatient type. Even when we first met, she couldn't stand me asking questions and bit me right away.
"Ah, aah..." As a wave of drowsiness washed over me much faster than usual, my trembling eyelids fluttered shut.
I could overlook her impatience since Echidna was quite easy on the eyes. Once I had her pinned beneath me, whimpering and crying out, even her impatient streak would probably look adorable.
"Sleep well. Sleep deeply until tomorrow morning. See you tomorrow."
"Yes, Echidna-nim..."
I held back the urge to tell her to throw all the tantrums she wanted for now, since I'd be taking her and thoroughly taming her soon enough, and drifted off into dreamland. I felt like I would have sweet dreams tonight.
