More Surprises 

(masterbation, plot)

For the first time in as long as he could remember since they had been together, when he woke up she was already awake.  As a matter of fact she had already gotten dressed and he found her in the kitchen staring at a pan, a look of bewilderment on her face.  Grinning, he stepped up behind her and wrapped his arms around her middle, kissing her softly on the neck.  Giggling a bit, she leaned back against his chest and purred softly.  Holding her loosely around the waist he nuzzled his face into her hair, "What are you doing toy?"

Glaring at the pan she was holding she said, voice a low snarl, "I am TRYING to figure out how to cook something!"

Jerking his head up, he arched an eyebrow. Turning her around, he wrapped his arms around her waist and looked down at her, one eyebrow arched, "Why?  You don't eat?"

Chucking the pan over her shoulder, it landed with a resounding clang on the counter top, she wrapped her arms around him and rested her head against the front of his shoulder, "Because, I'm hungry."

OK, he thought, this was getting weirder and weirder.  "Hungry as in needing to feed? Or hungry as in wanting human food?"

"Hungry as in wanting human food."  She grinned at his bewildered look then stuck her tongue out at him, "I know it's weird Darious but I'm hungry." 

Hugging her close, he kissed her on the top of her head.  Yes, it was weird but in the last few days so much had changed that this seemed to be less weird, for lack of a better term, than everything else that had happened.  "Alright toy; if you're hungry I'll make you something to eat."  Pulling away from her he rounded up the fixings to make a good breakfast.  After putting some sausages in a pan to cook he looked at her, "Chef Darious is on the job."  He said with a grin.  "What would my toy like for breakfast?"

Settling herself on a stool at the breakfast bar, she rested her chin in her hands and looked at him, grinning, "Let's start out with some sausage, eggs, hash browns, biscuits and gravy.  Then we'll go from there depending on how hungry I still am."

Stopping cold, he looked at her, both eyebrows arched, but he didn't say anything.  If she was that hungry there had to be a reason for it so without another comment he got on to fixing breakfast.

After serving it up he sat down with her to eat but more than eating he sat and watched her hungrily shoveling food into her mouth.  Quickly, she went through everything he had cooked then sat and helped herself to his.  After all the recent changes this was something that he was more able to deal with so he said nothing, joking around with her while they ate.

After breakfast she shifted to animal form and went outside for a run, seemingly wanting to burn off some of what she had just eaten.  He sat on the porch and watched her dash around, playing with things.  Soon, she dashed around the side of the house and disappeared from sight.  This wasn't a big concern for him; he assumed she would show up again shortly.

Oh that she did, just not how he expected.  He was leaning back in his chair when he heard what he assumed was one of the big birds flying over.  Thinking nothing of it, he stretched out his long legs and put his hands behind his head, thinking.  While he mulled over the events of the last couple days Dani landed on the railing of the porch, in full she-devil form but with her new wings stretched wide, grinning from ear to ear.  Giggling a bit, she winked at him, "Flying is fun!"

Chuckling, he shook his head, she had startled him with the abrupt landing she had made.  "Figured out how to fly have you toy?"

Flapping her beautiful wings she hovered a few inches off the railing she had perched herself on.  "How did you ever guess Mookie?" Grinning a bit, she stuck her tongue out at him. 

Chuckling again, he shook his head, "I was wondering when you would figure it out for yourself or if I was going to have to teach you."

Lifting off the porch, she swooped up and did a couple of rolls in mid-air before landing again and shifting back to human.  "Oh, I figured it out myself pretty easily."  Planting herself on his lap, she snuggled up to his chest, purring contentedly.  He wrapped his arms around her, holding her closely to him, stroking up and down her back softly. 

A couple hours later Marcus and Arkady returned and things settled down to a more normal pattern but with Dani back to being herself it was disrupted with her exuberance.  Thinking back, Darious really couldn't remember her having this kind of energy before.  Not that he was objecting to it, no, it was just curious is all.

Over the next few weeks' life settled back into its normal pattern for all of them.  As she promised Dani submitted to a large battery of tests by Julia, trying to figure out if the change she had gone through was natural or caused by something else, the assumption being Darious' blood. No one assumed this was a natural life progression for a she-devil, but within a couple weeks the answer that came back to them was surprising.  Julie had taken quite a few samples of Darious' blood for comparison, but far from finding her DNA changed or genes of a demon added, nothing in Dani showed any sign of demonic.  All of her was still very much as it had been before, pure she-devil.  Thinking she had to have missed something Julia drew more samples and ran the tests again including a few more exotic ones but the results were the same.  It appeared that what Dani had gone through, what they were all now referring to as an evolution of some kind, was normal, nothing had caused it but apparently her age.  Since no she-devil had ever attained Danis' advanced age they had nothing to compare it to but Julia was certain of her findings and told every one so.  Even though Dani had suffered a great deal through mistakes made in the name of easing her pain, mistakes she bluntly told Julia there was nothing to fret about since then were done to help her, it was something Julia learned from.  Whoever was next, the assumption being Zsuzanna would have the benefit of these experiences to help them through it.

Over the next month a few more things manifested themselves as changed but nothing as earth shattering as the first.  But, almost a month to the day after her big change, Darious awoke to Dani astride his waist, looking down at him with the look of a very horny woman.  The air seemed to be thick with that sensual musk he knew as her scent, but it was different, so thick that it not only slightly clouded his mind with the want and desire it inspired, Marcus and Arkady were both standing in the doorway, looking at her lustily.  Shaking off the almost drug-like effect it was having on him Darious held her close, trying to think as she nibbled her way down his chest, growling softly.  It reminded him of something that he couldn't place.  It wasn't until she was staring into his face, begging him to fuck her that he realized what it was, Dani had not only grown up in outer ways, the physical changes, other things had grown too it appeared because the smell became recognizable to him; Dani was in heat like any other female.  Sitting up and clutching her to him, letting her tempt and fondle him he looked over at the two werewolves standing in the doorway, grinning.  Both had the shell shocked look of a man who was fully aroused and ready for sex but was unable to complete the act for some reason or other.  Clearing his throat to get their attention, he looked at them sternly, making sure his presence over whelmed the lust, "You two go to the village and stay with the ladies until tomorrow. Also, send Julia up here ASAP."

It was Arkady that it got through to first, grabbing Marcus' shoulder he stepped back, "Yes Sire, I will send her when we get there."  After grabbing an overnight bag each they headed toward the village.

All the while Dani was all over him, doing what she knew turned him on the most, trying to get him to fuck her.  But for the first time in his existence he was turning down a lustful woman, the one he loved.  As hard as that was there was a thought that kept running through his mind that he focused on so as not to give in, a very scary one at that.  The off spring that he and Dani would produce if she got pregnant could be disastrous for every race on the planet.  Despite what most so-called experts on demons and their like said, it was very hard to impregnate a human female.  Even if it was done, because most humans had only one child at a time the odds were very high that it would be a mixed breed child, dangerous yes but not overly so.  Dani, on the other hand, was very much like a cat, if she got pregnant the result would probably be more than one, like litters of kittens, and the odds grew very much in favor of producing one truly and wholly demonic child.  A demon born on earth and not in hell could be disastrous and have more power to upset the balance between heaven and hell than any demon, including Lucifer himself.  It would be more powerful than any demon created in hell and very little could be done to stop it.  Not a nice thought.  Waiting on Julia he played with her, masturbating her and the like but completely avoiding intercourse with a very frustrated Dani.

When Julia arrived the reason Darious held her in so high esteem was boosted.  She got the story from Arkady and Marcus of what was going on and took a few very educated guesses as to what it was, then on her way to the house stopped at one of the vets in town.  Grinning, as Dani crawled all over Darious, she held up a large syringe, grinning.  "This is what vets use to knock cats out of estrus.  Although I had to guess at the dose it should do the trick."

Giving her an admiring nod he grinned.  Then he held Dani tightly to him as Julia first drew a blood sample then gave her the drug.  Within an hour she was out of heat and curled up, sleeping soundly.  While she slept he and Julia retired to downstairs to talk things over.  Relaxing in his chair in the living room he looked at the attractive doctor, "Do you think this will be a routine thing now?"

Shrugging, Julia looked at him, "Who knows?  But I think we need to go with that assumption."  Giving him a firm look she said quietly, "No offense Darious, but you CAN'T get her pregnant.  What that could produce would be a nightmare for all of us."

Nodding, he replied, "I know, believe me.  A demon child born on earth would be bad enough.  But a demonic child with whatever it was that allowed me to denounce hell and love could be this world's worst nightmare.  There is no need to tell me that."  Looking calmly over at her he asked, "Is there a way to produce some kind of birth control for her?"

Shrugging her think shoulders, Julia shook her head, "I don't know but I think I had better try."

Once the meds has knocked her out of heat Dani was much calmer and back to her normal self with no signs of ill effect.  The next day, though, brought its own surprises.  Darious woke the next morning to her cussing a blue streak in the bathroom more intensely than usual.  Walking in after steeling himself for what ever surprise lay in store he looked at her.  Sitting on the toilet she was holding a wad of toilet paper covered in blood.  Not only that, there were long streaks of it running down her legs.  From the doorway he could smell it and it was easy to guess, for the first time in close to 1000 years Dani had gotten her menstrual cycle.  Grinning, he looked at her, "You do know what it all is don't you?"

Rolling her eyes she replied in a huff, "I am not fucking dumb; I know I got a period.  That isn't the problem!" Glaring at him, she said, tone short and clipped, "The problem IS it's been so fucking long that I'm not sure how to deal with it.  Things have changed a lot since I was 14 you know!"

That he hadn't thought of.  Although the ads for feminine needs were all over the TV Dani hadn't paid much attention to them, not needing their services and what she used to do back when she was human was not what was done now. Quickly though, he rose to the occasion, sending Marcus into town to get what was needed then leaving Dani to it. 

Although he had joked many times about her PMSing the real thing was not a joking matter.  Growly and not feeling good she was generally out of shorts for the two days her period lasted.  But as quickly as it had come, it left when the flow stopped leaving her back to her normal self.  But while this was going on Darious kept pondering the thought of pregnancy and hoping that Julia could come up with something or he would at least get warning if her heat was coming again.  The thought of a demonic child by them still gave him the shakes and he didn't want any mistakes made.

Unlike human women that had a cycle every month Danis' seemed to come every 6 months for which Darious was grateful.  But that also seemed to be the last of the surprises in store for them, other than dealing with the Dani's changes.  The worst for Dani was the change in her body.  Their first trip to the mall was a nightmare.  Darious had anticipated the men's' reactions and was right about it, several were so drawn to her that they followed them everywhere until Darious literally had to threaten them.  But it was this trip that taught them it wasn't only men that were affected, but some women as well.  While they were buying her new lingerie the sales clerk couldn't keep her eyes off Dani and made several subtle passes at her.  Although Dani wasn't really bisexual, from time to time she did sleep with women, for a 'different flavor' as she called it.  But this over the top way people were going about it, like male dogs attracted to the scent of a female, un-nerved her completely.  After that episode that Dani became almost a hermit in their house, refusing to go shopping or to go out around large groups of humans.  Really Darious couldn't blame her, it was bad and it was something she would have to become used to in stages. 

For all of the problems though Darious was just grateful to have her back to normal, not realizing just how much he had missed her antics until she no longer did them.  Add to that being able to truly feel for her made him mellow; it was almost as if Darious had gone through his own evolution while she went through hers.  Looking back from this vantage point he was almost ashamed of the way he had treated her in the previously even though he knew that was his nature. But, the upside of everything was never again would he have to deal with his own kind. Because of his denunciation they couldn't come around him without feeling intense pain, a giant plus for him.  Those odd black feathers on the insides of his wings remained but they were the only physical change in him.   No, he couldn't figure out why they were there but it no longer bothered him, assuming it had just come from the denunciation as well.  Harder though was dealing with all the emotions he now had.  Humans were born with them and learned early on to deal with them but he got them all at once and found them confusing and somewhat frightening.  For a while he was a bit grouchy and irritable until he learned to take it one step at a time and found ways to deal with his feelings, just like every other being did.  In this area Dani was most helpful.  Always calm and patient she let him talk things through, sorting them out and giving him a nudge in the right direction.  It wasn't until this point that he realized just how much patience she had with him.  With most beings she was quite blunt, getting her point across quickly then ending the discussion, but with him her patience was endless, always calm and understanding, like a mother is with their child.  How she was able to do it was beyond him but he wasn't complaining!  For the first time he could really see the depth of the feelings he had for her and rather than make him uncomfortable it filled him with great joy.  His toy was the one thing in his whole long existence that made him truly happy.  Somehow he had found her  and she had found him and now she was with him for all time.  He had taken this for granted for a long time but no more, the day he sat down and though about how long the odds were at finding someone who could deal with him he realized there had to be more to it than just luck.  Something, some being somewhere had to have been involved.  What, he didn't know and it didn't really matter to him, he just went along with it.  Maybe it would reveal its self and maybe it wouldn't, that really didn't matter to him as long as they were together, that is the only thing that mattered.
