Drawn into Passion

AN: It's been a while since my last story, but here you go. This story is the product of constantly thinking about monster girl games. To get it out of my head, I started writing my thoughts down, later combining it with a fantasy setting I'd been working on independently. When I first wrote out the story outline, it was similar to the games I was inspired by: monster girls attack the protagonist and try to make him come, and make him a sex slave and/or kill him if they succeed. I then realised that I wasn't really comfortable with writing such a story, and had another idea: what if I took the concept of "sexual combat" and tried to make it consensual?

******

It was Friday night. For most university students, this was the time to visit the pubs, wind down after the stress of the week, and have the time of their lives.

So why was Lee alone in his apartment?

That was a question he'd asked himself repeatedly. He wasn't even all that interested in games like this, so why was he spending - or rather, wasting - a night on one?

Lee looked at the cover of the game's case. It was emblazoned with a picture of a very voluptuous woman with a goat's horns, a bat's wings, and a spaded tail - the stereotypical image of a succubus. Her clothing, if it could be described as such, only served to emphasise her figure - it was basically a modern string swimsuit, with the strings allowing just a hint of her areolae to be seen. The title was "Drawn into Passion" in ornate purple lettering.

The sight of the cover made Lee highly suspicious of the nature of the game. Not for the first time that night, he considered simply throwing the game out and doing something more productive.

Then he remembered that he'd spent fifteen dollars on this, and no refunds were allowed.

Sighing, Lee took the CD out of its case and inserted it in his computer. He also plugged in his headphones and put them on.

While he waited for the game to load, Lee flipped through the game's manual and read through the basic controls. He then put the manual down, as he preferred to avoid any potential spoilers in his games.

The game took a surprising amount of time to load, though that might have been more because of Lee's outdated hardware. While he waited, Lee reminisced about how he'd ended up in this situation.

Lee travelled to and from university using that marvel of transportation technology, the only one that had withstood the test of time - his own two legs. It saved him the cost of public transport, and as an added bonus, walking all the way while carrying a backpack was a decent way of staying fit. Thanks to this method of transport, Lee had stumbled across a run-down second-hand shop with a sign outside saying: "All Kinds of Wonders at Incredibly Low Prices". Since he wasn't in a hurry at the time, he'd stepped in for a look.

The sign turned out not to be false advertising. Indeed, Lee saw all kinds of merchandise on offer: pots and pans, crockery and cutlery, clothes in all sizes, shelf after shelf of books, a veritable mountain of children's toys. And most of the items showed no signs of damage.

After some browsing, Lee had reached a corner containing several stacks of video games. They ranged from recent releases to old classics, and all were at reasonable prices. Still, money was a bit tight this month, so Lee had resolved to only buy one game.

Lee had spent what felt like hours searching through the stacks, though obviously it couldn't have been more than five minutes in reality. At that point, the woman behind the counter had asked if he needed help. Lee had politely declined, then decided to use his usual method of making a choice in this kind of situation. He used a random number generator app on his phone to, well, generate a random number, then removed that number of games from the top of a stack and picked up the game that was revealed.

In retrospect, he really should have rolled for another number.

At the time, he'd decided that he was tired enough already and should get home as soon as possible. Of course, when he had begun approaching the counter, his heart was filled with apprehension due to the nature of the game. However, the woman behind the counter hadn't said a word about that. She did, however, warn him that they didn't accept any refunds.

Back in the present, the game finally finished loading. The title screen appeared.

It was the same succubus on the cover of the case. She was squeezing her breast with one hand, completely revealing the nipple, while her other hand reached provocatively towards her groin. And in the background, a woman's moans were faintly audible.

Lee looked down at the power button of his computer. He eventually wrenched his gaze away, muttering to himself, "Fifteen dollars, no refunds. Fifteen dollars, no refunds." With some resignation, he moved the cursor to the "New Game" option and clicked.

The screen turned black for a few seconds. Then a series of still images appeared, resembling pages from a picture book. They depicted medieval peasants working in the fields, fantastical creatures roaming the wilderness, knights in shining armour assembled in grand castles - essentially a standard fantasy setting. It had the usual mishmash of culture and technology from a range of places and time periods. Words appeared at the bottom of the screen, narrating the setting in an overly-dramatic manner. It didn't quite start with "A long time ago, in a kingdom far, far away" but Lee wouldn't have been at all surprised if it had.

The later images had a dramatically different atmosphere. Monsters invaded the kingdom, breaking through any resistance and kidnapping everyone in sight. The sunny day was replaced by a night lit by a red moon. Even the letters of the narration changed, going from pale brown to the same shade of purple as the game's title.

But the monsters were - well, they could best be described as demonstrating the nature of the game. They were all combinations of women with animals, plants or various other things. Some were based on mythology, like the harpies swooping from the sky to snatch up victims or the mermaids bursting from a lake to overturn boats. Others had more modern inspirations: Lee was fairly certain that a woman with worms for arms had never appeared in any myth. And the monsters' feminine parts were all universally, unrealistically attractive. Each one had the face of a supermodel with well-done makeup and the figure of a porn star. To top it all off, they were dressed just as skimpily as the succubus on the cover, or were completely naked.

Then there was the manner in which the monsters were fighting, if 'fighting' was even the correct word to use. The humans were unable to injure even a single monster: their swords and spears shattered on the monsters' bare skin, while their arrows bounced off entirely. Whereas the monsters... the monster manner of fighting was illustrated, in exquisite detail, by a particular series of three images.

The first showed a lamia, a monster with the lower body of an enormous snake, coiling around a human soldier and easily tearing off his armour. The soldier was visibly wounded by the act, but the lamia showed no signs of caring.

The second showed the lamia raping the soldier, who cried as he tried to push her away.

The third showed the soldier utterly broken in mind and soul, while the lamia had an expression of dark triumph.

This kind of scene was repeated over and over.

Afterwards, there were images of monsters surrounding a human woman. The monsters' shadows warped and grew, no longer corresponding to their owners' actions, and covered the woman. Then the shadows retreated to reveal the woman, now transformed into a succubus. The succubus mounted a man and proceeded to drain him into an emaciated husk through lethal intercourse.

There were so many images in this vein that Lee zoned out and stopped paying attention to the details.

Eventually, the introduction shifted in focus. The images were no longer in a picture book-style and all focused on a silhouette walking through a dark forest. This was probably the player character, Lee guessed.

A window appeared on the screen, asking for the player's name. Lee decided to put in his own, too tired to try thinking of another one.

The introduction continued. The screen showed a young man in tattered clothing, warily watching his surroundings. Lee idly noted that he resembled himself to a degree. They had a similar hairstyle, though the game character's hair was obviously even less tidy, and similar eyes and nose.

A text box appeared at the bottom of the screen, titled "Lee".

It's not the time to get lost in history. I need to find food before the sun sets, or I'll be too weak to do anything tomorrow.

Unlike the narration before, the text box didn't change on its own. Lee - the real one, that is - pressed the right arrow key and the next text box appeared.

I've been thinking about this kind of thing a lot recently. How we ended up huddling in the woods, struggling to survive.

I guess it's not that surprising. Along with survival knowledge, this story was what every kid was taught. The adults and older kids made sure to pound it into our heads so we wouldn't forget. They told us of how we humans used to have a peaceful and prosperous kingdom. They told us how monsters emerged from the shadows and completely destroyed it in just a few years. That's why the only free humans, like us, had to run into the cracks of the world and hide if we wanted to stay free.

I've never seen a monster in my life. No one else in the group had, either. We were the lucky ones - no, the smart ones. There used to be a larger group that we traded with, living on the edge of the forest. They chose to live there because there was more food, too stupid to consider that they were exposed to danger. And when we visited them one day, they were all gone, with only the tracks of monsters left behind.

So my group went deeper into the forest. We couldn't find as much food, so some of us starved to death. We didn't have as much medicine since we could no longer trade, so most who got sick ended up dying as well. Eventually, there were only twenty of us left.

But monsters aren't the only dangerous things around. One night, a scale bear came into our camp to eat our food stores. It was quiet when it snuck in, but once it was spotted, it roared and started tearing us to pieces. Reared up on its hind legs it was easily twice as tall as a man, with armoured scales and claws like knives. It didn't seem to feel any pain, it kept killing us even with five or six spears stuck in its hide. By the time it finally fell, only me and two others were alive. The others were too far gone and died within the hour.

So now I'm on my own. If I fall and break a bone, or get bitten by any one of half the creatures in the forest, or eat the wrong kind of plant or mushroom, I'm finished. It's like I'm part of those dark jokes I used to hear, back when I wasn't on my own.

There was a brief pause in the narration. Real Lee took the time to take all this information in.

Sometimes, I want to just end it now. After all, what's the point of going on? Even if I'm incredibly lucky and don't die to any of those things, the chances of me finding another human this deep in the forest are non-existent. I'd end up dying without ever having children. No one will remember that I ever existed.

Wait, what was that? Were those... voices?

The screen changed, showing the in-game Lee crouching down, and then hiding in a dense bush.

If it's other humans, I - no, I'd still have to be careful. Even if we're the same kind, that doesn't mean we'll work together. My old group had run into more than one gang of bandits.

If it's monsters... no, there's no way that could happen.

Unfortunately, Lee's avatar's hopes were betrayed. Two monsters appeared on the screen, both of a clearly ursine disposition. They had round ears, sharp teeth, and legs covered in thick fur and terminating in paws rather than feet. However, the rest of their bodies was all voluptuous femininity.

The two bear monsters were arguing with each other, though there was no voice acting for this scene, just subtitles.

"This is my territory! I claimed it first!" growled the one on the left of the screen.

"That means nothing," said the one on the right. "Now that I'm here, I challenge you for it!"

"So you're not backing down?" said the one on the left, narrowing her eyes. "Then I'm not going down without a fight!"

The bear monsters met in combat - but not the kind where blood is spilled. Instead, they embraced each other, brought their lips together in a passionate kiss and ground their crotches together.

Seeing this, the real Lee couldn't help but laugh. It was to be expected, given what he'd already seen of the game, but that didn't make it any less ridiculous. On the other hand, while the image was static, it was accompanied by lustful moans that greatly enhanced the experience. Lee could see how this sort of game might appeal to its intended audience.

Meanwhile, the narration started up again.

Wha - What are they doing!? Are they actually - but that doesn't make any sense, they're both female so they couldn't get a child out of this. And from what they were saying before - but how could this possibly be a fight!?

There was a whole lot of text describing the monsters fondling, caressing, groping, licking and sucking every part of each other. Lee didn't pay much attention to it.

The moans increased in tempo. Soon, there was the unmistakeable, drawn-out cry of a woman's orgasm. Lee was suddenly very glad that he'd thought to put on headphones earlier.

The image changed again, with the challenger bear monster standing triumphantly while the other was sprawled on the ground. It might have been more impressive if it weren't for the saliva splashed across the monsters' chins, the clear fluid dripping from their slits, and the unfocused gaze of pure bliss on the loser's face.

"Hah... hah... it's my win," the victor said smugly.

"I... I can't believe how good you were," the loser said breathlessly.

"It's over... this land is mine," the victor said.

"Mmm... would you do that for me again?" the loser asked.

The victorious monster grinned broadly. "Anytime," she said.

The scene changed back to game Lee still hiding in the bush. The sounds of slow shuffling footsteps could be heard, suggesting that the bear monsters were leaving.

By their standards, that counts as a fight? Unbelievable... but to some degree, it makes sense. The way everyone described them, monsters aren't people like us, more like evil spirits of depravity. It only makes sense that they pervert fighting as well.

But to think that monsters actually look like that - no, I can't think that. "The beauty of monsters is only on the outside, on the inside they are dark and ugly." I have to remember that.

After a scene break, game Lee managed to find a large tree with branches almost weighed down by fruit. He rejoiced, thinking that his fortunes had begun to turn around.

Of course, real Lee, armed with knowledge of the typical story structure, realised what was going to happen next.

With a sound of flapping wings, the scene changed and a harpy appeared in front of game Lee. The harpy had large wings, which would have easily spanned twice her height when outstretched, and scaly legs with clawed feet. Her plumage was a vibrant red with striking blue bands across her wings. Her face and torso were shaped like a human's, with light brown skin, ample breasts and hips, and not a single scrap of clothing.

With a cheerful smile, the harpy said, "Hi there! You're the first human I've seen in a long time! My name's Sita, what's your name?"

Real Lee felt that it was a pity that the image wasn't animated and the dialogue wasn't voiced. Clearly, games like this didn't have much of a budget. It would have been nice to see someone this bright and bubbly bouncing around - and not just in that sense.

A - a - a monster!? Shit! I have to take her down now, before she can do anything!

According to the text, "Lee snatched up a fallen branch and, with strength born of desperation, swung it at the harpy's head. The branch shattered harmlessly without leaving a mark, though the harpy still cried out in surprise."

Sadly, these actions were largely not reflected on-screen. There was only a high-pitched yelp and a look of shock on Sita's face.

That didn't do anything! So the stories about monsters being invincible were true!? If that's the case...

"Hey! What was that for?" Sita asked, sounding genuinely hurt.

There's no cover anywhere nearby, and I can't outrun something that can fly. If that's the case, I can only kill her first. But if monsters can't be hurt by normal means - and judging from what those monsters were doing earlier...

"I - I'm sorry," Lee said, trying to inject as much apology into his voice as he could. "It's just - you startled me, so I couldn't help it."

"Is that seriously a reason to attack someone?" Sita asked. "Okay, maybe I should have called out to you first, but I wasn't trying to hurt you!"

If I'm right... the very idea of it is disgusting. It's the kind of thing that I was told was only done by fools who gave in to the temptations of monsters. But it doesn't look like I have any other choice.

"I'm sorry, it's just..." Lee worked his brain frantically, trying to think of an excuse, "it's just that I've been living on my own, so I have to be very careful. There's lots of dangerous animals in the forest, so I - I have to be careful."

Sita brought her wing to her mouth. For once, this wasn't limited to the text, as the image actually changed.

"Nonono, I should be sorry!" Sita said. "I - I can't believe I forgot that humans can be hurt. It's my fault, I shouldn't have - "

While Sita continued apologising, game Lee continued planning his next move.

Even after I manage to - defeat her - I still need to finish her off. Both this monster and the two before were breathing, so it looks like they still need to breathe to live. Once she's down, I can choke her to death. If that doesn't work, then I'm dead. But if I can't kill her, I'll be dead anyway, or worse.

"S - so, Sita, you don't have to apologise," Lee said, forcing himself to sound as polite as possible. "It was just... an accident. Anyway, to answer your first question, my name is Lee."

Still looking remorseful, Sita nodded. "Okay then, Lee. But if there's anything I can do to make it up to you, please tell me. My mother didn't raise a daughter who wouldn't make up for her mistakes."

"In that case... " Lee said probingly, "...would you mind if I keep gathering fruit from this tree? I'm having trouble finding enough food lately, and - "

"Sure!" Sita said. "I don't mind! I'll even show you all the other places I get food from. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Quit acting innocent, monster. Who do you think's going to fall for that?

But now I have to... dammit, I don't have any idea of how to bring that up! If I just - just ask her up front, she might get suspicious. I have to approach this carefully...

But I have zero experience with - with this kind of thing. The only idea I have is that old story...

Coughing nervously, game Lee said, "Actually, there is one more thing. Sita, the truth is, I - " game Lee gulped and reminded himself that this was a monster, an enemy to humanity, not a naked and discomfortingly-attractive woman. "The truth is that ever since I saw you, I - I think that you're the most beautiful person I've ever met!"
At this line, real Lee threw back his head and laughed, unable to hold himself back any longer. When he finally pulled himself together, he cringed inwardly at the loss of control and hoped that he wasn't going to receive a noise complaint in the morning.

Back to the game, Sita looked surprised for a split second, then squeed. This, unfortunately, was accompanied by an actual sound effect, and real Lee swore at the high-pitched sound.

Sita grabbed game Lee's hands between her wings, the sudden action almost causing the latter to react violently.

"Really!? Do you mean it!?" Sita asked eagerly.

Game Lee forced himself to nod, still shocked at how successful his tactic was. He'd borrowed the line from an old romance story that he remembered hearing about, but never thought it would be this effective.

Sita squeed again. "Oh, this is a lucky day, for both of us! It's been ages since I had sex with a man. In fact, I've been thinking of finding a mate to settle down with for so long, and I - sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself again. Um, first things first... do you want to see if we're compatible with each other?"

Wriggling her body, Sita gave a look of raw, animalistic invitation. For once, both of the Lees had the exact same reaction to a situation: attraction towards something that they did not expect to be attracted to.

Real Lee loosened his collar. He reminded himself that this was just a game, that Sita was just pixels and programming. Game Lee, on the other hand...

Stay calm - stay calm, Lee! Don't let the monster get to you! This is all just a trick - if you give in to her temptations, you'll become her slave!

Game Lee was fighting against every lesson he'd been taught, trying to convince himself that this was a necessary evil. He eventually forced out the words, "That sounds like a good idea."

Sita frowned slightly. Leaning in closer - which was represented by her sprite increasing slightly in size - she asked, "Are you really comfortable with this? I don't want to force you."

"I'm sure, it's just that I'm nervous," Lee lied desperately, "After all, I've never - never done anything like this before."

"Don't worry!" Sita said. "I'll show you what to do."

Suddenly, the music shifted, becoming faster and more energetic. The text box disappeared and was replaced by several other GUI elements. In the bottom left corner there was a menu with a list of commands, while in the bottom right corner there was a tiny portrait of game Lee along with two bars: one full and green in colour, the other empty.

Seeing this, real Lee blinked several times. If this had been a console game, the controller would have fallen out of his hands.

"No... fucking... way," real Lee said. "Don't tell me that this is the first 'battle'?"

But no matter how much he shook his head in denial, the reality before his eyes didn't change. Resigned, real Lee continued with the game.

There was a tutorial in which Sita explained the battle mechanics in a cheerful voice. If you ignored the context, it wasn't that different from a normal turn-based RPG battle.

The options available were "Hand", "Mouth", "Penis", "Hold", "Special", "Request" and "Submit". Real Lee had to cover his mouth to avoid snickering at the names. The first three were categories of attacks, the fourth covered grappling techniques, while the fifth included all other techniques. The last two would cause the player to lose the fight, and only differed in that "Request" allowed the player to choose how they were going to lose. However, all of them were currently greyed out.

The green bar on the right was Stamina, which decreased when the player was attacked. It was equivalent to HP or Health in other games, except that reaching 0 Stamina didn't mean losing consciousness or dying. As Sita put it, "When Stamina runs out, you'll come! You know what that means, right? Some people call it "climaxing" or "reaching orgasm"."

The empty bar above Stamina was the Lust meter. It would normally be empty at the start of a battle, though in certain situations it would start partially filled. Lust increased when the player was attacked, in contrast to Stamina, and also increased when certain skills were used. The higher the Lust meter, the more damage the player would dish out and receive. Additionally, certain attacks would only be used on the player once their Lust passed certain thresholds. If Lust reached the maximum value of 100, then the player would also lose - just in a different way from when Stamina reached 0.

Real Lee could imagine how the loss would be different, but he didn't dwell on it. After all, he wasn't the intended audience for this kind of game.

Sita also mentioned that she, along with every other enemy, had their own Stamina and Lust meters, but these were hidden from the player. Part of the game's challenge came from trying to deduce the enemy's state from their expression and other signs.

When the player inputted a command, the player character would execute that command, then the enemy would perform an action, then it would be the player's turn again. Though Sita did warn that it was possible for the player's or enemy's turn to be skipped. This could happen if they were placed in a hold or if they were hit by an attack targeting a sensitive body part - the game's equivalent to the elemental weaknesses of other games.

Finally, Sita said, "Okay, Lee, it's time for you to put this knowledge to practice!"

Real Lee jumped in surprise. This line actually had voice acting, yet his name had still been said out loud. Presumably, the game's developers had pre-recorded all of the names that were likely to be used by their players, though Lee did wonder what would have happened if he'd input something they failed to anticipate.

"Alright, let's start with something simple. Why don't you try touching my breasts?"

Sita accompanied this with a small jump that caused her breasts to jiggle buoyantly, at least according to the text. Sita's sprite bobbed up and down, but her breasts remained in the same position relative to her torso. Still, judging from game Lee's reaction, it was meant to be quite the sight.

"Come on, they're not going to bite you!" Sita said. "Just reach out and touch them."

The "Hand" option in the command menu was no longer greyed out. Real Lee clicked on it to find a single technique available, "Fondle". Chuckling, he clicked on it.

Game Lee reached forward slowly, expecting a trap at any moment. He wasn't sure what kind of trap could be sprung by someone completely naked, but that wasn't any excuse to let down his guard. Finally, his hands touched Sita's large breasts. At the top of the screen, the title "Fondle" appeared.

"Mmm... now start squeezing - ooh, not too hard, you need to apply just the right amount of pressure - yes, that's it, now you should start rubbing - mmm, keep going, make sure you don't leave a single spot untouched."

These lines continued to be voiced, showing clearly what the developers' priorities were in allocating their limited budget. The voice actor was talented as well, sounding increasingly throaty over time.

And on top of that, Sita's sprite changed as well - she had closed eyes and her mouth opened and closed in time with the voice actor's moans. It was a simple animation, but effective. Real Lee found himself lingering just a little longer than expected on the sight.

Then the game moved on. Game Lee staggered back, shocked at what he'd just done.

"Hehehe, is this really your first time touching a woman like that?" Sita asked flirtatiously. "Because you were really good with your fingers..."

"It - It really is the first time, I swear!" game Lee cried out.

"Don't worry, I believe you," Sita said. "Now, sex is a matter of give and take. I've already accepted your gift... now it's time for me to give something to you."

Sita approached. In a normal situation, game Lee might have stepped back in fear, but he could still feel the incredible softness and elasticity in his hands, could still see the face rapt with pleasure, could still hear the moans of delight. Thanks to that, he was distracted enough for Sita to close in, wrap her wings around him and pull him into a kiss.

At first, he felt revolted at the intimate contact, but there was nothing but gentleness in those soft lips. Her warm, wet tongue slipped into Lee's mouth and playfully wrapped around his tongue. At the same time, she slowly rubbed her naked flesh against game Lee, filling his body with comforting warmth.

Accompanying the above description, a close-up of the pair kissing appeared in the top left corner of the screen, along with the muffled sound of Sita's moans. At the top of the screen, the title "Kiss" appeared. After perhaps ten seconds, the image changed to show the two separated, but with a line of saliva linking their lips.

Again, Real Lee found himself staring at the image. As a result, he initially didn't notice that this "attack" had removed about one tenth of his virtual counterpart's Stamina, and caused a slight increase in Lust.

"Mmm... how was it?" Sita asked.

Game Lee didn't respond at first, his mind a turbulent maelstrom of conflicting thoughts. Finally, he answered, "It was like - it was like nothing I've ever experienced before."

Sita giggled. "Thanks! But that is just - the - beginning."

And thus, the two of them took turns "attacking" each other. Each time, Sita would explain a new technique, then the technique would be added to the command menu to be used, and finally she used a technique of her own.

Under Sita's eager instruction, Lee used his hands to feel every part of her body. He caressed her face, stroked her great wings, massaged the toned musculature of her back, squeezed her large ass, even rubbed the smooth scales of her legs. He was also taught how to use his mouth: he initiated a kiss of his own, nibbled on Sita's sensitive ear, licked her neck, and sucked on her nipples. While these acts were not illustrated, Sita's reaction to them definitely was.

Of course, Sita wasn't about to be left behind. She pulled game Lee's head into her chest and squeezed her large breasts against his face until he was gasping for air. She leaned down and pleasured Lee's nipples, greedily licking away with her dextrous tongue. She pulled down his pants and sandwiched his penis between her wings, creating a terrific sensation that he could never have experienced using just his own hands. Each of these attacks was illustrated in the same manner as the first, with a smaller animated image in one of the top corners.

As he watched the sexual battle, real Lee considered it impressive that there was such a variety of art for just a single battle. However, after watching the animations a few times, he could clearly tell that the movements were artificial, which detracted from the eroticism.

Partway through this sequence, game Lee's Stamina reached the critical zone while his Lust was roughly at the 40% mark. His portrait at the bottom of the screen had changed: it was now panting and visibly flushed. His controller felt a little odd at seeing a face like his in that state, but continued playing.

"You're almost about to come, right?" Sita said teasingly. "You just want to let it all out, right?

Don't listen to her - mustn't give in - I have to keep going...

"You want to keep going, right?" Sita said. "You want to enjoy my body for longer? Then I'll show you a way you can last longer. First of all, think of something completely unrelated to sex, like, say, a tree or a rock, and picture it in your mind. Take a few deep breaths, never letting go of that picture."

The "Special" option was now available, and real Lee clicked on the new command in that category, "Calm".

With some difficulty, game Lee managed to follow this instruction. He pictured the earth itself, solid, unshakeable, a constant existence for which the desires of living things were inconsequential. His discipline was far from perfect - even with his eyes closed, the sight of Sita's wondrous beauty was burned into his brain - but he managed to maintain the image.

About half of Lee's Stamina meter was replenished. The Lust meter also decreased, but to a much lesser extent.

"Good job!" Sita said. "With this, you can keep your Stamina up. But don't think you can last forever. You may have noticed that your Lust didn't go down that much. Bear that in mind, there are few options for decreasing your Lust. And because of that, both sides will do more damage as time goes on, and receive more damage, so someone will give in eventually."

Sita paused, then continued in a more lustful tone, "Although, to tell the truth, there is one certain way to get rid of your Lust... and that's to satisfy it." She punctuated those words with a wink. "Let's keep going!"

The "battle" continued. It reached the point that Sita's sprite also changed. Her face was crimson with arousal, animated clouds of breath appeared around her mouth, and a trickle of fluid was running down her leg from her wet pussy. Real Lee presumed that this meant her Stamina was low or her Lust high, or both.

"Hah... hah... not bad, Lee," Sita said. "I will admit, you were a just a little bit clumsy at first, but you learned really quickly. Now I've gotten all worked up... and so have you. So why don't we take things to the next level?"

Sita's sprite increased in size while staying centred on her upper body, so that everything from her hips down went off-screen. A small icon appeared above the Stamina and Lust meters. It depicted one person lying on their back while the other lay on top of their legs. Real Lee recognised this as a symbol of a status effect. Additionally, the "Hold" option had been replaced with "Struggle". On the other hand, "Mouth" and "Special" were greyed out, as were many of the "Hand" techniques.

"Hehe, caught you!" Sita said mischievously. "Now you're in a hold. You've probably noticed that your commands have changed. Instead of "Hold", you have 'Struggle', which causes you to try and break free of your current hold. And since I'm lying on top of your lower body, you won't be able to use most of your techniques. Try using 'Struggle'."

It was actually a pretty decent "battle" system, real Lee thought. It had more complexity than simply wearing away at your opponent's HP while remembering to heal yourself when needed, yet still worked in a logical manner. Only the parts of the enemy's body that remained on-screen could be targeted, and the icon showing the type of hold also revealed what kinds of techniques were denied to the player.

It was such a shame that all of this effort had been devoted to a game meant for masturbation.

Real Lee did as instructed. His in-game counterpart tried desperately to break free, but failed. For a moment, real Lee wondered if the failure was due to his Stamina being too low or Lust too high, but Sita went on to explain.

"Sorry, that's not enough. You'll have to weaken me a bit before you can push me off. But right now, it's my turn. Time to have a taste."

In the top left corner, an image appeared showing Sita's face, with her plump lips wrapped around the head of game Lee's penis. By the look on her face, she might as well have been sucking on a chocolate-covered truffle slathered with honey. Her head bobbed up and down, accompanied by muffled moans.

Sita's fellatio was described in exquisite, loving detail. She used her lips, tongue and cheeks to provide the perfect blend of pressure, suction and friction. The luxurious warmth of her mouth filled Lee's penis and permeated through his entire body, keeping him from lifting a single finger.

No - how could - a monster make me feel like this -

The "attack" initially proved quite arousing for the real Lee as well. But like all the previous ones, the constant looping of the animation and audio revealed the illusion. He calmed down and skimmed through the rest of the description.

Once it was over, real Lee noticed that the "attack" had done over twice as much damage as any of the previous ones. Additionally, his next turn was skipped, with Sita immediately using another attack.

"Mmm... you were delicious," Sita murmured, "and now I'll make you feel even better."

A new image appeared, a close-up of Sita's chest. Using her wings, she had sandwiched game Lee's penis between her large breasts. And then she began to move them, up and down.

"How do you like my nice, big, soft breasts?" Sita asked teasingly. "Right from the start, you haven't taken your eyes off them."

S-so good, more - no, I have to fight, I can't give in - but it's too good to resist...

This "attack" did even more damage, leaving only a sliver of Stamina. Lee's turn was skipped again, causing him to wonder if this was the kind of "battle" that was meant to be lost. However, Sita then decided to skip her turn on purpose.

"Ah, your helpless face is so cute, but I'll slow down a bit," Sita said, amused. "Since you haven't got any experience, it's only natural for you to be like this. I remember my first time - it was with three nymphs, and they were all amazing with their tongues, and we were together for three days..."

Sita was briefly lost in pleasant memories, but regained her composure. "Ah, sorry for getting distracted! Anyway," she continued, "now you know what it's like to feel so good that you just can't do anything. Since you've never had sex before, your penis is of course really sensitive, so if I touch it like this, your next turn is skipped. Going back to what I said before, you'll have to weaken me first to break out of my hold. To do that, try and remember: what parts of my body are the most sensitive? That's what you need to aim for if you want to break free. Unless you want me to keep going?" Sita fluttered her eyelashes and extended her tongue towards game Lee's penis.

Real Lee reviewed his options. Currently, the attacks available to him were "Cheek Caress", "Back Massage", "Wing Caress" and "Fondle". He tried to remember how much damage each of these had done when first used, a task that was complicated by the increase in damage as Lust increased.

The reason Lee was devoting so much thought to this game was because he was the kind of gamer who always tried to find the optimal way to play. It certainly wasn't because he was getting invested in the erotic aspects of the game.

Eventually, he decided that "Fondle" had been most effective, all else being equal, and clicked. Sita squealed in pleasure and her face slackened. Real Lee clicked on "Struggle" and the hold status finally went away. However, the situation was different from before. Sita was clearly on the verge of climaxing: her pussy was absolutely drenched with fluid, while the sounds of her moans were now constantly in the background.

"Hah... hah... not bad... although I really wish you'd let me keep eating you..." Sita said breathlessly, rubbing her thighs together.

Real Lee explored his options and found out that more attacks had opened up, "Vaginal Fingering" in the "Hand" category and "Cunnilingus" in the "Mouth" category. He figured that Sita's current appearance meant that her Lust was almost at the maximum, allowing him to use more advanced techniques. Interestingly, the "Penis" category remained greyed out. Lee tried not to speculate about why this was the case. He eventually chose "Vaginal Fingering".

Game Lee was nearly at the edge himself, and the relentless teasing from Sita had almost entirely erased his objections to having sex with her. No longer needing to be instructed, he grabbed Sita by the hip with one hand and thrust two fingers of the other into her wet pussy.
Sita cried out in ecstasy. Game Lee didn't stop, continued to vigorously thrust his fingers in and out, in and out. Her pussy contracted around his fingers, almost sucking on them like a mouth.

When the attack finished, a message appeared at the top of the screen: "Sita is wavering!" Real Lee interpreted that as a good sign and decided to try out the "Hold" category for once. The only option available was "Lower Hold", which he clicked on.

Taking advantage of her disoriented state, game Lee grabbed Sita's hips and pushed her down, pinning down her legs with his body weight.

"Ah! Mmm, you're so forceful!" Sita said teasingly. "What are you planning on doing to me?"

Sita skipped her turn, allowing Lee to take another one immediately. He found that being the agent of the hold also restricted his actions, specifically by disabling all techniques that targeted the upper body. The "Calm" command was also disabled - presumably since trying to calm yourself down when in such close contact with a sexual partner was impossible - so healing wasn't an option. Lee decided to use the only technique remaining, "Cunnilingus."

Game Lee stared at Sita's pussy. When he'd first met her, he thought the sight of her casual nudity was as disgusting as it was shamefully arousing. Now, it was nothing but incredibly erotic. He opened his mouth and took an exploratory lick.

The first taste of her juices was an ambrosia beyond description. Lee brought his mouth down and hungrily ate Sita out, drinking down every drop. Though his efforts were clumsy at first, he quickly grew better, for the more pleasure he gave Sita, the more juice she produced.

In reality, Lee noticed that using "Cunnilingus" had increased his own Lust meter. Since he had no accurate way of telling Sita's Stamina, he wondered if he was doomed to lose no matter what. He decided, "Fuck it, might as well," and continued using nothing but the same attack.

With each successive attack, the text changed, growing more and more intense. Game Lee became no more than a beast, continuously feeding from the fountain of ambrosia before him. Sita wrapped her legs around Lee's head but wasn't able to counterattack at all. All the while, Lee's Lust meter rose steadily.

Finally, it came to an end. Sita screamed as she climaxed, the joyous sound permeating real Lee to his core. Her sprite changed to one with eyes tightly shut and mouth wide open.

Game Lee was startled back into his senses by the scream, but with Sita's legs holding his head in place, he couldn't escape at first. When her legs finally slackened, game Lee threw himself away. He shuddered as he remembered everything.

I - I can't believe it. I - with a monster, I - no, it was for the sake of killing her. I can't let myself fall here.

Game Lee stared at the moaning, quivering mess that was Sita. He clenched his fists, trying to rouse up the killing intent that had let him survive in this harsh environment.

She's - it's just a monster. Just a monster. You have to do this, Lee. If you hadn't been able to hold out, she would have...

But... it wasn't my effort that let me "win", was it? She gave me countless openings. She didn't take advantage of any of the times I wasn't able to move.

That was just her overconfidence. Thanks to her unnatural toughness, she didn't see any threat from someone like you. You have to take the chance, now, before she recovers!

But she didn't act suspicious at all, right from the start. She talked to me like any human would, treated me with kindness.

Those were all tricks to make you lower your guard. Stop hesitating. Finish it!

Real Lee watched the internal conflict of his digital counterpart. He felt that the text was a little heavy-handed, but it was still a plausible outcome, given the circumstances.

Sita opened her eyes and stirred. She tried to push herself up with her wings, but gave up after a few failed attempts. While wriggling her hips lewdly, she said, "Hah... hah... I can't believe I got carried away and ended up coming first... you're pretty talented, Lee! Mmm... or was it me being sensitive? I really wanted it to go on longer... You've won... so, if you want to go all the way, I'm ready for you."

Sita parted her legs, emphasising her dripping slit.

Despite the above being just text, with no change in the image, real Lee gulped. He felt a sudden shift in the distribution of his blood. He would never have expected such a reaction from someone who was digital and half-bird.

And game Lee was no different. He shuddered as traitorous impulses coursed through his body, telling him to embrace this willing partner, to indulge in the pleasures of the flesh. The majority of his rationality, the part that came from his family and friends, argued for destroying the threat, while the remainder whispered that Sita hadn't shown any signs of being a threat.

Two options appeared on the screen. One was "Kill the harpy", the other "Spare Sita".

In the world of reality, Lee leaned back in his chair and covered his eyes. He certainly hadn't expected a choice like this, especially not after the first battle of the game. Despite being simple on the surface, it wasn't something he could solve right away.

There was some appeal in the first option. Thinking in terms of characterisation, from what had been shown of the player character's personality so far, it was only natural for him to decide to kill a monster. Someone who'd been raised to hate and fear a group their entire life wasn't going to stop and spare one just because she was pretty. Aside from that, this was ultimately just a game, and Lee could always play again and pick the other choice later.

But the second option drew Lee's attention. From his position outside of the game world and above any consequences from it, Lee reasoned that Sita indeed hadn't done anything wrong. Heck, she'd asked if game Lee was alright with having sex, twice, and only went ahead when he agreed (though of course, she hadn't expected him to lie). How many characters in porn did that?

And to play the devil's advocate, the situation was still somewhat suspicious. A supernaturally-attractive woman dropping out of the sky looking for a mate and showing you how to have sex? That was the stuff of wish fulfilment fiction, and anyone who encountered such a situation in reality would think it too good to be true.

Finally, would the choice even matter? This was still a porn game, after all, so it wouldn't be surprising for both choices to lead to sex. The second option, obviously, would cause game Lee to give in to his desires, jump on Sita and fuck her brains out. As for the first option... perhaps the murder attempt would fail, and Sita would decide that she needed to "correct" this unnecessary aggression, and jump on game Lee and rape him into an unresisting sex doll. It wouldn't be out of place, given the intended audience of games like these.

After much deliberation, real Lee chose the second option.

Game Lee exhaled, releasing the tension in his body.

I can't do it. I can't kill her. I can't kill someone who's only tried to help me.

He turned and ran off into the forest, ignoring the cry of surprise behind him.

At this point, real Lee glanced at the clock. It was ten o'clock, still early, but Lee felt it would be unhealthy to play for too long. He saved the game, quit, and shut down the computer.

After washing up and changing into his pyjamas, Lee flopped down on his bed.

Normally, Lee would think about his studies as he waited for the gentle arrival of sleep.

But tonight, all he could think about was the game.
