Confession

Placing the unconscious Katy on the bed between Maya and Caitlin, Seth sighed and laid down next to Caitlin, pulling her into his arms.

“You also did me a great favor, despite me asking something so unfair of you. Thank you.”

Caitlin didn’t react, and Seth just hugged her to his chest.

‘What do you think?’

<I don’t understand.>

‘What is with everything lust told me?’

<Many topics were related to parts of the soul where my understanding is incomplete.>

Seth smiled and didn’t ask anything more as he waited for his lovers to wake up.

Maya was the first one who did, standing up on her behind and looking surprised towards Seth and Caitlin. Looking around the room, she noticed the blood and sperm on the ground and sighed as she moved next to Seth.

“Was I not enough?” she asked as she sat next to the two.

Seth shook his head: “The energy I needed was huge. I had no choice.”

Maya nodded and moved to caress the sleeping Caitlin’s cheek. “I understand, but it must have sucked for her. Why didn’t you bring Iris?”

Seth raised an eyebrow and asked: “How would that be any better? The last time we met in Oath, I broke her… if I brought her here, she might have blasted us away.”

Maya sighed and nodded: “Yes, but she also needs someone. I kept bugging her as a joke while in Oath, but I was also correct. She’s used to doing everything independently, never relying on anyone, not even me. If you - “

“Let nature take its course, Maya. If things are meant to happen, they will, but she’s still in pain and confused. I hate that I had to take Caitlin’s moment like this, but it was still much better than bringing Iris.”

“You’re probably right, but the poor girl is not even half our age and always had to pick up our slack. She kept healing the results of your wild moments; she killed billions of people and was forced to feel every single one of their feelings; she kept trying to break through so we could save you, even if it only brought her more pain and agony… we’ve done this girl wrong.”

Seth nodded with a sigh: “We did, didn’t we? I gained such a faithful and kind girl for nothing but a bit of food.”

“If she knew what that food would bring her, she would have probably spit in both our faces and run away.” Said Maya with a chuckle.

Seth sighed and looked into Maya’s eyes. “Can you please take care of Katy when she wakes up? She’s fine now, but it would still be better if someone were to stay by her side. I’ll come as soon as I can.”

Maya nodded and sat up. “Go, give that brat her long-desired love. No one probably deserves it more than she does.”

Seth nodded and teleported deep into the royal chambers underground. After spreading his destruction energy around, he removed the large mattress on the ground and carefully changed the room.

He froze Caitlin’s time so she won’t wake up before changing the room completely. He changed the hard floor into marshmallow and covered it with a small layer of liquid chocolate before releasing the time freeze on Caitlin and filling the room with all sorts of different desserts.

When he was done, Seth carried Caitlin’s body in his arms before resting his back on a cookie pillar and waiting for her to wake up.

A few minutes later, Caitlin slowly opened her eyes and looked at Seth’s face. She remembered what had happened and lowered her head, only to notice that her body was covered in a strange liquid.

“Chocolate?” she muttered in confusion.

“I know it won’t make up for what happened, but I figured it was a good place to start.”

Hearing Seth’s words, Caitlin looked up and was about to speak when Seth blocked her lips with his fingers.

“Not yet. Let me explain everything.” Seeing her nod, Seth started telling her what happened in the north, why he had been missing for so long, and his journey back to Endora.

“… when I arrived, after I spoke to Maya and explained what happened, I had her send a message to the others to inform them and asked her not to tell you, wishing to visit you myself later and make good on what we spoke before I left.”

“Before that, I wanted to wake Katy up from her cryo sleep, but something unexpected happened, and I was forced to feed her all the lust energy I had to keep her alive, but that was not enough. Since she’s been one of my first loves, Maya couldn’t generate enough lust energy, so I needed someone else.”

Seth caressed Caitlin’s cheek and said: “You were my only option besides Iris, but I was afraid of her reaction and couldn’t risk injuring Katy if she had an outburst, not to mention that I never spoke to her about this, so I could only ask you for help again.”

“It broke my soul to ask that of you, but I love Katy just as much as I love all of you. I didn’t want to lose her, so I had to do it, knowing I could eventually make it up to you. If I let Katy die, I would have never been able to make it up to her.”

“I know I kept asking things of you, and as Maya told me earlier, you’ve always been there to pick up the slack for all of us. You healed us when we went too far; you cleared all the armies attacking Oath because I asked you to, and you even tormented yourself trying to break through in an effort to come and save me.”

“To be honest, after these five years, I realized that you are all too good for me, but you, Caitlin, only got more pain and suffering. You have paid so much for so little. If your feelings haven’t changed, I want to start treating you with the love you deserve.”

“I want you to give me a chance to spoil you and have you depend on me from now on. I want you to allow me to love you as you deserve, Caitlin.”

Caitlin’s eyes were already red, and tears flowed down her cheeks as she listened to Seth’s words. Those words were more than she ever needed.

Ever since word started traveling among Seth’s students, she had slowly accepted the idea she would become one of Seth’s women. She had gradually fallen in love with that idea and eventually with Seth as well.

What happened earlier still hurt, but his words brought her enough joy to make up for it. Blushing weekly, she licked the chocolate from her lips and moved Seth’s hand just under her chest.

“Seth, I still hate you for what happened earlier, but I never blamed you for anything else.”

“Can you feel it? My heart has long been beating for no one else other than you. You were just too far away to hear it.”

“Thank you for finally coming closer. Thank you for your words, and thank you for loving me. You were a god that traveled through time, looking to change the whole world, while I was just a simple orphaned girl who loved to eat and had no one. Never say that I am too good for you. I am all that I am because you gave it to me.”

“You picked me up from that prison, fed, clothed, brought me into this wonderful, even if sometimes cruel, world, and gave my life meaning. You gave me power, a voice, and even a purpose. This power is cruel sometimes, making me do things I don’t want to, but it is also wonderful. Able to see the faces filled with smiles and gratitude of all the people I saved in Endora and Oath is enough to make up for the pain it brought.”

“I don’t know if you knew, but I couldn’t sleep the whole night when you finally did it with Rebecca. I kept looking out the window, wondering, ‘was I next?’. I couldn’t even eat for a few days. At first, when we figured you wanted to take us as lovers, we were mostly nervous. I, for one, was terrified, but as I saw you showing love to all those women, their faces filled with love as they looked at you, I wanted it too.”

“I don’t know when, but at some time, it even changed my desire for food. I kept waiting for you to come to me as well. To make me yours and have me look at you as they did. I wanted you to look at me how you looked at them too.”

“I wanted to see what you did for them to end up so broken in my bed, waiting to be healed by still wanting more. Those looks of satisfaction on their faces, I kept wondering, will I ever look like that as well?”

Caitlin finished her small confession by sitting up and moving her face closer to Seth, her hand covered in chocolate caressing his cheek as she said: “I love you, Seth. I’ve loved you for a while, but I lied to the others, maybe even to myself, until we finally spoke in Oath.”

“I thought my chance had finally come, and I accepted all those feelings, but then….” Caitlin forced herself not to cry as she took a small break before continuing: “… then we got the news that you might be injured, captured, or even dead. It broke me...”

“Now that you are back here, in my reach, in my arms, I don’t want this chance to go away.”

“So I want you to make love to me. I’ll forget what happened earlier, so make love to me, Seth. Take my first time. Make me a woman. Make me your woman.”

“Teach me love, teach me lust, and don’t stop before I end up on a bed, waiting for a Caitlin to heal my battered body.”

Seth moved to suck on one of her fingers, biting the tip gently before pushing her on her back into the small chocolate pool.

“I will. I’ll make sure today will be a day you won’t forget.”
