Chapter 13-378: Foxy Ladies II (1/2)

The Interdiction blew across the manascape like a curtain falling. She barely had time to register it happening when the Stillflight followed it, and just like that, both of the methods she would have preferred to escape, by Teleporting or form-shifting to a flying form, was cut off.

Her triplets had their offices on the lower floors, each of them reigning over a whole floor to control their sections of the family’s business empire. For them to vanish so closely together meant the intruders were definitely inside the building, despite the security forces here being on high alert.

With a hum, the power to the building faded abruptly. Escaping through her own private elevator would likewise be rather difficult now.

Still, she knew she could not remain here. Unafraid of showing her power, all nine of her tails burst out behind her, humming with the enthralling power of the hu hsaio. With a look, she could bind a man’s mind and soul, entrap him in an endless spiral of illusion, make him a faithful slave forever, or crush his thoughts to nothing.

A.45 automatic, pearl-handled and gold-chased, a lovely yet lethal toy refined out of Chinese technology into something more dangerous, was in her hand as she yanked open the mahogany door to her office, intending to make her way to the stairs if she had to, or at least confront what was coming...

She froze.

Two stocking feet just disappeared into the mouth of the tall blonde more-than-a-woman standing by her great-great-granddaughter’s desk, who swallowed once as they disappeared from sight, and put the white three-inch heels Fifi had been wearing down on her desk.

Where Tatiya, her Warlock bodyguard, should be standing, a neat pile of armored clothing, boots, and her shoulder holster and knives were loosely fallen around a chair there.

She had never seen any woman so magnificent, and knew immediately a terribly dangerous enchantment effect was acting on her, drawing this response out of her.

She also knew intimately the spiral of those ram-like horns curving around so exquisitely, the points sharp enough to impale a hapless male through the eye and right into his brain. There were other horns now, newer, forming a crown-like frill and imperious arches on her brow, but when the eyeless face, now adorned with shining Runes glowing with the power of many Pacts, turned on her, there was no mistaking who this was.

The Veil of the Nine Lotus Pact was among those winding there...

“Rayetizvisha!” she blurted out in disbelief.

“Hu-Hu.” It was the lilitu’s voice, but so much more, and made her feel weak in the knees, ready to swoon just hearing it. It promised so many things...

“What, what are you doing...” Hu-Hu gasped, knowing she should be trying to attack and bind the will of the demoness, and finding herself completely incapable of doing so.

An elegantly hoofed foot, the line of it finer than any pumps and the legs rising up from it matchless, stepped forward, covering ten feet in one gliding step. With total confidence and the power of knowing it was harmless, the lilitu reached down, grasped the pistol not quite pointing at her, and liberated it from Hu-Hu’s grasp without effort, dropping it into a convenient bonsai tree there carelessly.

“You’ll know all about it in a moment, Hu-Hu,” the layered voice, like so many soft sheets of silk sliding over her skin up to her ears, replied quietly, eyeless face intent on her as she tried to move back.

The long tail, tipped with fell crimson light, came around and hooked behind Hu-Hu as firmly as a steel bar. Just touching it created a bodywide rush through Hu-Hu, and all her tails instinctively wound about the lilitu’s appendage as she moaned, the fur on them instantly standing up as straight as possible. When the glowing tip threaded its pointed end between the folds of her blouse to caress her navel, she would have fallen down if the tail hadn’t suddenly looped under her and drawn her fully into the lilitu’s embrace.

The full contact, especially with that newly magnificent bosom, was impossible to resist. Hu-Hu wrapped her arms, already growing silken fur and fine claws, around the other woman, and just sighed into her embrace. She wasn’t even really standing anymore, held up by that tail winding around her slender waist. “Ray-Ray, what is going on?” she half-moaned, trying to fight the desire moving through her, and finding an addictive, familiar strength flowing through her from contact with the lilitu.

It was gentle but irresistible, a single finger caressing her jaw and lifting it up, feather touches along the line of her throat as she trembled, starting at the lips in front of her eyes.

“Shhhhhh,” was the reply, as the lips came down, and Hu-Hu melted right into the irresistible power of that kiss.

The office of the president of Manchester Ltd was large, but wasn’t really designed to hold all the women in it right now, especially with the number of fox tails they were all showing.

Shvaughn dominated the three Morningsun redheads, her emerald eyes contrasting with the golden eyes of the halvyr, but her red fox ears and eight tails matched them, suddenly making it very plain they were now related in more ways than one.

Of course, Fire, Flame, Wind, Cloud, and Glory only had seven, seven, seven, six, and six tails, not eight like she did.

Sama was blonde, of course, and her ears and tails the same, also bearing eight of the latter. Traveler’s hair was naturally Moonlit, and her new ears and eight tails featured the same coloration.

Legion sat poised and in command behind the main desk, nine tails longer than anyone else’s and as indigo as her hair and ears.

“Since we seem to have inherited ownership of the wealthiest business cartel in Hong Kong, we need to consolidate our operations somewhat,” Legion said calmly, their accent straight out of Oxford, which Hu-Hu had actually attended. Around their neck were the pearls Hu-Hu had been wearing, as well as the bracelets on her wrist, diamond earrings, the subdued glitter of the rings Hu-Hu had been wearing, and they were also dressed in the very expensive and form-fitting businesswoman’s outfit Hu-Hu had been wearing, perfectly refit to her more impressive curves.
