Another Day in Paradise
by Aimless
Kougaji stalked restlessly around the room like a caged animal. He was tired of the Empresses games and tired of being ordered around like some kind of puppet. Thank god he’d locked the chamber door since he really did not want to deal with Yaone or Lirin. He loved his little sister to death but he was just too edgy to put up with her youthful enthusiasm. Also punching the wall would get him nothing but a set of sore knuckles and another hole in the plaster.
He red haired demon stalked to the lattice covered window and stared out into the gathering gloom. The night was hot and overcast with not even a hint of a breeze. Not that there was much to look at out the window anyway. The demons that clustered around the castle hoping to earn a place in the army or the great Empresses household had quite decimated the landscape until it looked more like a shanty town instead of the lush gardens of Kou’s youth. The lattice covering the unimpressive view painted the room in grey stripes as the sun set outside. It made the space seem even more oppressive and Kou’s restlessness only increased.
His rooms did not even look particularly lived in. There were no clothes strewn on the floor or books littering the side tables. Any messes he made were unobtrusively cleaned up by one of the palace’s many servants. Even on the odd occasion when the red haired demon’s temper got the best of him and he broke what ever was in his path. The debris simply disappeared and the items were replaced. Kou ran a hand distractedly through his tangled hair and grimaced in disgust.
Dirt weighed matted the crimson locks and it hung down his back in a snarled mess. He stopped his pacing and looked at himself. He wore sweat stained clothing that had a fair amount of dirt and to put it bluntly… he stank. The prince wrinkled his nose as he peeled off his shirt and dropped it to the floor. He toed off his mud encrusted boots and then unzipped his tattered jeans. They joined the pile of clothing and then clad in nothing but a loin cloth he retreated to his haven away from the insanity that had become his life. A curtained room was his destination and he entered sighing as he took a deep breath of the lightly scented air.
The room was completely tiled in mosaics of blue and green. The patterns were swirling and abstract but reminded him of the ocean on a summer day. Large potted plants framed the space and those in bloom were what added the spicy yet sweet tang to the air. He had claimed these rooms upon his reawakening. They had belonged to his mother and he could still see touches of her here and there in the decorations. This chamber had been her favorite also.
Dominating the center was a pool of clear water that was almost large enough to swim in. Waist deep and depending on his mood or the season hot water filled its depths or tepid. It was a testament to his servants that they had anticipated his needs and filled it with slightly cool water. Shedding the last garment he walked down the two steps and into the pool. He sank down with a sigh as he willed his muscles to unknot. Kougaji, had he the inclination, could have any number of servants bathe him. Male or female it made no difference. If he called they would appear ready to serve his every whim.
That also somewhat angered the prince. He was tired of the fawning, fearful worshipping and bootlicking that was an everyday part of his existence. He simply wanted a bath nothing more. Kou ducked under the water thoroughly wetting his hair before surfacing. Glancing over at the various bottles lined up on the lip of the tub he unstoppered a few before picking one that smelled faintly of citrus. He poured some of the liquid into the palm of his hand and then worked it through his matted hair. For this he might have considered calling in a servant. Scrubbing at his scalp till all the dirt lifted free Kou groaned at the feeling of having his hair finally clean. After ducking under to rinse again he rose and his long crimson hair trailed in the water behind him like some exotic vining plant.
Kou chose yet another bottle and pleased with the aroma he worked it into a lather in his hands and slicked them across his sleekly muscular chest. Then down his flat abdomen and back up his sides till all traces of dirt, sweat and blood were washed away. His skin tingled from the aromatic herbs in the soap as he took his time to bathe. Next he stood out of the water to soap his legs, thighs and groin. Kou hissed as his hands slowly massaged the foam into the deep red curls at the base of his cock. Predictably it stirred under his ministrations and he closed his eyes as he sank back down onto the steps. It had been so damned long since he’d had any kind of release and figured it might alleviate some of the tension he was feeling.
The cool water caressed his skin as he reclined on the steps as Kougaji lifted one leg onto the edge of the sunken tub. He splashed the water across his body and a small breeze from the windows peaked his exposed nipples. The air contained the scent of rain and Kou could hear thunder in the distance. The prince ran his claws lightly up his chest to those hardened nubs and pinched firmly enough to cause a jolt of sensation to streak right to his groin. He pulled on the distended buds with one hand alternating as his free hand scraped down his body. He left little red welts but liked the slight pain and the breeze that caused his skin to sting. Kou circled his crotch stroking the soft skin and playing with the springy curls.
By the time he finally touched his cock the prince was gasping slightly and raising his hips out of the water. It wet him enough so his hand slid smoothly up and down his rigid flesh. Still it was not enough and the steady wind blowing in from the window raised bumps on his chilled body. Kou snarled in frustration and rose from the bath and grabbed a towel. He dried his skin as he walked out of the bathing chamber and startled a serving maid who was setting a tray of food and wine on the table. She looked up, squeaked and froze. This only made the Prince angrier. Damn it why could no one treat him like a normal person?
“M… My Lord Kougaji. I… b…brought you some dinner.” She bowed low and did not raise her eyes.
Kougaji stood there glaring at the timid Youkai unashamedly stroking his flagging erection. The female glanced downward at her lord and blushed furiously.
“Take off all your clothing and get on the bed.” He was not thrilled at the prospect and was secretly hoping she’d turn him down, yell or throw the goblet of wine. Even Yaone would have done as he commanded.
The youkai’s eyes remained downcast as she reached for the ties on her blouse. She did not get more than the front opened before the demon prince growled.
“Out! Get out!” Kougaji grabbed her by the arm and all but dragged her to the door.
“M…My lord have I displeased you? Please forgive me!” Her fearful cries and tear filled eyes caused him to take pity on her.
“Just leave. Please. I’m tired and want to be alone.” Kou sighed and gently pushed her into the hall and closed the door.
He stalked to the bed and flung himself down on the silk covers. Kou was horny, restless and really did not know what he wanted exactly. He scooted up on the bed and reclined on the mound of pillows. The wine glass was beaded with water droplets and looked inviting. He picked up the goblet and took a swallow. The liquid was sweet and had a hint of mulled spices. Kou sipped idly as his hand continued to slowly stroke his cock. It seemed that if he wanted to find release it would be due to his own devices and not any help from the horde of subservient Youkai that worked in the palace. The person he really wanted naked in his room was off on a pointless errand for his beloved step monster. Dokugakuji had been gone for a couple of weeks and that left Kou feeling… well unsettled. His second in command did not put up with his moods, did not bow and scrape and frequently told the prince when he was acting like an idiot.
He also had no idea when his second would be back and as Kou finished his wine he let one of their previous encounters fuel his fantasy. The demon prince closed his eyes and let the memory wash over him. Kou groped blindly on the bedside table for the vial of oil and uncapped the liquid and let it drip over his heated skin. He inhaled sharply as the cool viscous fluid flowed over his erection. He grasped his cock and slid his fingers slowly up and down spreading the oil. Kou traced each vein and ridge enjoying the sensation of the light touches. Around the head and over the inverted vee then back down to the base he stroked gradually increasing the pressure of his fingers.
Gasping he spread his legs wider and cupped his sac with his other hand fondling the pouch and squeezing slightly. Fire built and a shivery sensation started in the pit of his stomach. The demon prince bucked his hips into the tight cage of his fingers and still it was not enough. This was not what Kougaji needed though but it was all he had. Snarling he stroked harder and reached lower. Thoroughly coated in the oil Kougaji slowly circled the puckered entrance to his body and hissed as he sank two fingers inside. It burned and his dick throbbed as he stroked. He raised his leg and turned slightly on his side. Kou pressed inward as far as he could and crooked his fingers. Crying out as he found that one spot the prince brushed it over and over. He worked his body restlessly striving for release hips snapping forward into his slick hand and back onto his penetrating fingers.
Panting now as heat spiraled outward Kou stroked relentlessly his mind going blank in the wash of pure pleasure. Experienced in this form of self stimulation the prince pumped his cock and rubbed the sensitive head before every downward stroke. Sweat beaded on his body despite the storm outside making his curtains flap madly in the gale. The lightning crashing and the thunder roaring only seemed to bring out the feral side of him. He growled again as he neared completion. The demon prince raised his leg a bit more as his fingers delved deeper and his hand stroked faster. He came with a fierce hiss as his essence sprayed across the silk sheets. His hand pumped his twitching length slower and slower as he milked his release for every last drop. Exhausted his hand dropped away from his now flaccid cock and he slowly pulled his fingers from his still throbbing body.
Not caring about the mess Kou wiped his hands on the sheets and flopped over onto his stomach still gasping for air. He came but was not satisfied. The orgasm seemed hollow and simply left him wanting more. Too tired to dwell on his emotions the Prince dropped off to sleep naked and face down on the bed.

Dokugakuji was home at last and he had just managed to beat the storm on his riding dragon. After making a brief report to the bitch in charge he took some time to bathe in his rooms. He was filthy from the ride and stank like some of the feral demons he’d had to put down for causing a brief uprising in one of the Empresses outlying territories. As distasteful as that job had been he was grateful it had not taken longer and now he could go and see the person that had been fueling his dreams since their last encounter right before he’d left. A serving girl told him that Lord Kougaji had also returned and had retreated to his chambers for the night. Doku, now clean, dressed in a pair of silk trousers and a simple vest. He did not plan on wearing the clothes very long if he got his way.
The Prince’s second in command was basically ignored as he strode down the halls towards his liege’s wing of the palace. The guard at the chamber door merely nodded as he walked right inside unannounced. The room was almost dark and lit only by several lanterns giving the area a golden glow. The storm was rumbling off to the west after having dropped its deluge of rain and cool air stirred the gauzy curtains. Not concerned with the décor of the living area of the suite Doku walked straight through to the bedroom. The sight there stopped him dead in his tracks.
His Prince, his savior and his lover lay naked face down on the bed with his head pillowed on his arms. Glorious long red hair flowed over his back like a crimson river and his deeply bronzed skin shone in the lamplight. Doku licked his lips as his gaze traveled down his muscular back, trim hips and the rounded globes of his ass. One leg was slightly bent exposing the Prince to his view. A sheen of oil coated his cleft and the room reeked of Kou’s release.
The Youkai went rock hard as he rubbed absently at his crotch. He had to have his liege now. Clothes became an afterthought as they were hastily shed and left on the floor. Kou must be really out of it not to notice the intrusion into his room. Doku thought as he crawled onto the bed and leaned down to whisper into his lover’s ear.
“Did you miss me?” He smiled a toothy grin at the sudden gasp of the demon under him.
Hands on Kou’s shoulders kept him from turning over as he struggled. Doku took the opportunity and inhaled deeply the scent of sweat, oil and cum that clung to Kougaji. It was intoxicating and made his cock twitch in anticipation.
“Doku? You’re back? Let me up.” Totally humiliated to be caught in such a condition the demon prince tried to make his second in command move. He must have been sleeping heavily to not notice someone entering his bed chambers and crawling onto the bed.
“I like you this way…smelling of sex and ready for me.” Doku flexed his hips and rubbed his cock slowly along the oiled cleft. He leaned further over and licked a slow line up the center of Kou’s spine. He nuzzled beneath the fall of red hair to nip at the tendons of his liege’s neck.
Kougaji gasped at the feel of Doku’s muscular body pressed against his. He shuddered at the graze of fangs as his subordinate bit down on his flushed skin. He was being marked like a possession and once it would have pissed the demon off but not now. He needed to be owned, possessed and dominated. He arched back as the slick slide of Doku’s erection brushed his opening.
“Doku… take me. I need you to fuck me.” Kou was growing hard again as the other Youkai licked and sucked on the back of his neck.
This is what had been missing earlier. His body needed to feel the weight of another. To be claimed roughly by one who did not bow and scrape to his every whim. Kou actually whined when that delicious pressure was taken away as Doku sat up.
“Get on your hands and knees and spread your legs like the slut I know you are.” Doku knew that this was the only place that he could act this way towards his lord and master. Everywhere else Kou had to be the prince. He had to maintain a strong and ruthless presence or lose the respect and fear of his underlings. Kou was a little slow to respond so Doku brought his hand down sharply on his ass with a stinging smack. Kou yelped in surprise then glared back over his shoulder. The fiery handprint only served to make Doku hotter and more desperate.
“Damnit that hurt! Do that again and I will kick your ass.” Kou snarled but did as his lover bid. Even though it made him feel exposed and vulnerable.
“That’s it just like that. I’m going to fuck you hard. You’d like that wouldn’t you? Getting yourself off was not enough was it? I’m the only one who can satisfy you. Isn’t that right Kou?” Doku grabbed a handful of that long red tail and pulled lifting the prince’s head.
Kougaji gasped as his hair was pulled and bit his lip. Doku was right he needed this. He needed it hard, fast and a little rough.
“Aren’t you going to answer me? I could leave you and go to my own bed. Is that what you want?” The second in command smirked a bit as his lord actually trembled in anticipation.
“No! Stay! I need this. I need you!” Kou closed his eyes as he felt a clawed hand lightly rake down his back. Just enough to leave welts but not break the skin. Doku knew just how far he could push the prince.
Dokugakuji trailed his hand down that bronzed skin to the firm globes of his master’s backside. He touched the warmed area from his earlier slap. Liking the effect he brought his hand down again while yanking back once more on Kou’s hair. Now a matching handprint graced his other buttock. It was risky to push his Lord so far but judging by the harsh gasping moan Kou did not get angry. The Youkai commander was aware that Kou would only tolerate so much and decided to leave off a more thorough spanking for another day. Preferably one where he was tied to the bed and could not really protest too much. Doku stroked the firm flesh and traced the crease with his fingers. The skin was still slick with the oil Kou had used earlier. He tested the opening to his Lord’s body before carefully sliding two fingers inside.
Kougaji gasped as his second used his fingers to drive him wild. They brushed against his sweet spot and the demon growled loudly. This is exactly what he had been craving. Pleasuring himself just did not get him as turned on as his lover possessing him did. He could feel Doku’s erection pressing hot and hard against his thigh as his lover bent to nip and lick the base of his spine.
“So warm, wet and slick… I see you prepared yourself well. That’s good because I’m not in the mood to wait tonight. Grab the headboard and rise up on your knees.” Like the willing slave Doku knew Kou to be in the bedroom he complied.
“Hurry… I can’t wait any longer.” Kou was telling the absolute truth. He was hard to the point of aching and panting with desire.
Doku glanced around and looked for the bottle that Kou must have used earlier. It was true that his liege was still slick from his earlier bout of self stimulation. But he was not by any means poorly endowed and he did not want to hurt his Lord. The object of his search was found in a tangle of blankets and with a grin of triumph Doku opened the bottle and applied a generous amount to his fully erect organ. He tossed the nearly empty container to the floor and positioned himself at Kou’s opening. The Prince’s pose on the bed gave Doku full access to his Lord’s body and gripping his hips hard he eased his girth inside the tight sheathe.
Kougaji instinctively tensed up when he felt the broad blunt head of Doku’s erection nudge against him. He knew though that if he did not relax it would hurt like hell. Despite liking a bit of pain with his pleasure the Prince did not need the kind of aching burn that could come with an abrupt penetration.
“Easy Kou, breathe deeply and relax. Let me in…just breathe.” Doku had paused when he felt the muscles of his lover tense and he stroked Kou’s lower back until he felt the strain ease.
“I’m ok just do it before I go mad.” He wanted his lover inside and forced his taut muscles to relax against the relentless pressure.
Inch by inch Doku pressed steadily inside the velvet heat of Kou’s passage. He grit his teeth as he was gripped tightly and drank in Kou’s breathy moans as he sank all the way in to the hilt. Panting and needing to stop a moment or it would be over before it had even begun Doku rested his forehead on his liege’s shoulder.
“So good. Needed you so much. Needed this… to be close to you.” He could not hold still Doku reared back and Kougaji moaned as he withdrew nearly all the way before slamming back into that welcoming heat.
“Yes, yes, like that just like that. Harder I need more.” Kou ordered as his second wrapped one arm around his chest and one on his throbbing erection. He pushed back frantically as Doku thrust harder. Still gripping the headboard the Prince shuddered as he felt the graze of teeth on his neck.
Doku lapped at the salty sweet skin of his Lord as he drove himself into his willing body. Kou’s moans and pleading to go faster to thrust harder enflamed the demon to a fever pitch. His Prince was a wanton, moaning and begging entity under him. So unlike his usual dominant self that Doku relished their time together when Kou could let go and have someone else take charge. He growled and teasingly ran his fangs along his liege’s jaw line to his pointed ear. His tongue traced the outline and dipped inside.
Kou was nearly incoherent with need. From Doku’s cock ramming into him over and over, his hand stroking his stiff length and his breath hot in his ear. The red haired demon thrust back with his hips as Doku hit the spot that made him snarl and shudder. It felt so damned good and he did not know how long he could keep up with this relentless pace. He felt like he was going to explode and come apart in his lover’s arms. His second in command repeated Kougaji’s name like a mantra punctuating each exclamation with a rough growl.
Dokugakuji’s claws dug in as he raced toward his climax inside Kou. He briefly lost what little shred of control he had left and sank his teeth into Kou’s shoulder. His mouth filled with a coppery tang as he buried himself savagely in his Lord’s tight passage.
Kougaji cried out at the burst of pained pleasure as he felt himself get bitten. His vision grayed out as he came hard splattering Doku’s hand, the sheets beneath him and his own chest with his hot seed.
Doku sucked at the wound as Kou screamed his release and writhed under him. He was gripped hard in Kou’s clenching body as he rode out the throes of his orgasm. Snapping his hips forward and pinning his lord to the headboard he followed him over the edge and bucked into a now sagging Kou as he emptied himself inside his prince. Doku continued to thrust shallowly wanting to prolong the experience but a now pained moan cut through his euphoria. He had bitten Kou hard enough to draw blood… carefully he pulled out of his lover and laved the wound with his tongue till the blood slowed and he placed a kiss on the bruised skin.
Kougaji lay limp in Doku’s arms as he tried to slow his breathing before he passed out. The intensity of their love making had nearly been too much to bear. But it was exactly what he had needed and the demon slowly retreating from his body had been the only one to give it to him. The only one he wanted to treat him this way.
“Gods Kou I did not mean to bite you. Sorry…” Doku gasped out as he expected his master to push him away any moment.
The Prince, now that he was able to breathe properly again and not look like a landed fish, turned around and wrapped his arms around his lover.
Surprised Doku returned the embrace sticky as it was. On the rare occasion Kougaji would act like this after they coupled.
“That was amazing. I never felt like that before.” He whispered into the sweat soaked hair of his lover before placing a kiss on his Lord’s brow. Content to lie there he closed his eyes and started to fall asleep. Kou murmuring something got his attention and he cracked open one bleary eye. “Wha?”
“I said get off you’re heavy and I need to go clean up.” Kougaji pushed at the heavier demon to no avail.
Doku wrapped his arms tighter around the prince and rolled them onto their sides. He spooned up behind his lover and attempted to get some rest. “Shut up and go to sleep Kou. I’m tired and so are you. We can worry about the mess in the morning.”
“You know I could order you to let me up.” The red haired demon muttered as he squirmed to get comfortable.
“Yeah and I could order you to kiss my ass but that’s not going to happen either. Now be a good little prince and go to sleep.” Doku threw his leg over Kou’s as if to hold him in place.
Kougaji merely replied with an undignified snort and settled into Doku’s embrace. It was actually nice to be held like this and he soaked in the comfort because he knew that tomorrow he’d have to turn back into the ruthless son of a demon king. A job he never particularly wanted in the first place. But for now the big aching hole formed by loneliness had been filled by a demon he trusted with more than just his life. For now it was enough.
