It was truly spectacular showcase of battle to behold. Strength, finesse, and elegance flourished in abundance for the enthralled attention of the crowd. The dexterous, flowing techniques strived to weave in and out of such vigorous ferocity. However, the spellbinding prowess of the serpent would eventually triumph; bringing a deafening roar of enthusiasm from every corner the stadium. The natural and exotic expertise which was thought to have been lost to time had been revived for all to see.

With the event having reached its end, the onlookers would eventually disperse to conclude their night; leaving one to remain completely awestruck in the stands. A commanding tightness had gripped Karma’s heart as hints of the savory fragrance lingered within the overbearing silence of the arena. As he realized he was holding his gifted ticket within his stiffened paws, his focus would soon trail downward for him to remember that it doubled as a VIP pass to allow visitation to any one of the battlers. With the Floral Will toying with and guiding his restless thoughts, he stood up on unsteady legs to begin his tense journey into the back rooms; trembling with anticipation as the only sound to echo within the vacant halls was his own soft footsteps.

As the restricted corridor came into view, the Latios would notice a familiar Salamence’s well-toned build standing guard with a vigilant, yet listless disposition. It was Vince, who had perked up upon seeing Karma cautiously approaching; greeting him with a courteous smile without a word. As Karma was about to scramble to present the ticket, Vince would stop him with a simple motion of his head directed behind him; knowing exactly whom he wished to pay a visit. With a nervous, yet dutiful look, Karma gave off a small nod of acknowledgment before continuing into the corridor’s sparse lights keeping the shadows at bay; eventually stopping before a lone, towering doorway with slivers of fading light guiding him inside. The back of his throat started to pleasantly burn as the familiar, savory scent beguiled him into reaching for the door; his fate practically been etching itself into time.

“Come in, darling~” the tempting voice melodically rang out out as if expecting his arrival before his knock could sound.

All of Karma’s muscles would abruptly lock up as if being tethered to the Earth. However, he could not disobey the amorous calling which had already taken hold of his being. Unsure if he was still breathing or not, his paw would aimlessly gravitate towards and tightly grip the door handle; silently turning it in order to keep his entrance a secret to the silence of the venue. As he cautiously pushed the door open and stepped inside the changing room, the constricting sensation which had enveloped his soul would immediately trap it in a sensuous vice; binding him as he became entranced by the sight before him.

The curvaceous, saint-like form of Lotus was leisurely seated upon a bench as she astutely brushed her hair aside with a hand before idly stroking its silken length; still dressed in her simple, yet salacious battle attire which still perfectly fit all of the proper curves. Her extravagant, tropical tail would eagerly flex and twist as if beckoning Karma’s company and becoming ecstatic to reclaim its lovestruck prize. After briefly primming herself to capture his undivided attention again, her palm would lightly support her chin while directing a hauntingly welcoming grin at him; the blazing mystique of her gaze inflaming his own despite being quelled by her rose-tinted glasses.

“So…what did you think~?” she questioned with her sultry, melodic tones. “Has my…‘royalty’ shown itself yet~?”

The Latios’s words were lodged within his throat as he became fearful of violating the passionate serenity created by the Serperior’s presence. Yet, his clandestine queen needed an answer one way or another. A faint blush soon emerged across his face as he took a quiet breath of her enrapturing pheromones to soothe his mounting anxiety.

“I…knew you could…But…I-I’ve never…seen anything like…” he strained to answer.

A soft, velvety chuckle of amusement reverberated from deep within Lotus’s bosom as she surveyed Karma’s hesitant demeanor; taking note of his flushed tones as if confirming his body’s desperation to succumb to her will. Seeing his ears rearing back and the occasional twitch of his muscles made her heart flutter with elation which aided in fighting off the fatigue of her battle. With her arm cordially extending towards him, her fingers would perform slow, enticing curls as if testing the marionette strings that had been tied to his existence.

“Well then…why not have an…exclusive audience with your Queen~?” she coaxed with a seductive gleam illuminating her sight. “Experiencing everything…up close and personal is much more preferable…wouldn’t you agree, Karma dear~?”

With fur standing on end and his respiration nearly ceasing at the behest of her irresistible invitation, the Latios proceeded proceed to obediently approach his bewitching ruler as if his movements were being puppeteered by her Floral Will. His malleable consciousness was sinking deeper into the infatuating depths of her creation as her intoxicating pheromones gradually intensified. As he soon found himself mere inches away from her captivating stature, he would instinctively shiver with his flustered state growing more prominent from the delicate caress of her fingertips tracing the fur lining the back of his neck. After removing and setting aside her glasses, her eyelids fluttered in a doting fashion; setting the ethereal luster of her azure eyes free for it begin to searing into the depths of his vision.

“To be honest with you…I’ve been worried that time had finally caught up with me after all those years…” Lotus confessed with a wistful look; gently swinging her graceful tail around Karma to pensively stroke the immense petals of her tail flower. “But…I know won’t be able to deny that feeling sooner or later…”

As the mystifying hues of the ocular spell pierced into Karma’s spiraling cognition to continue easing it into the blissful void, he was at least able to perceive her forlorn worries imprinting themselves into his understanding. He would then unconsciously reach out to carefully handle the well-toned stature of her magnificent tail.

“Ahn…Well…you’ll still be…immortal to me…Y-Your Eminence~” the Latios sincerely confided. “Your battling…and your…Umm…”

A reflexive flinch and a brief look of bewilderment sprung out of the Serperior’s person as the sudden actions played out. Although her tail twitched with satisfaction from feeling his small, yet enticing touch, she had yet to fully acclimate to his advances as she was normally the one to subject him to hers. Nevertheless, his loyalty and earnestness always invigorated her brimming desires; forcing herself to temper her predatory drive to instantly seize his devotion. She would then have her hand rest on top of his head which made him shrink back a little out of shyness.

“Mmhmhm…You always have a way with words, my adorable, little envoy~” Lotus mused with a sly smile; conveying a subtle notion of relief in her scheming conduct.

“Although…now that I think about it…” she began with a hint of disappointment aimed at herself. “There are some techniques I seriously should’ve shown back there; would’ve made the crowd really squirm in their seats…”

“Nph…W…What…kind of…?” Karma nervously inquired after swallowing hard; inching closer to her bust as if being magnetized.

The leviathan-esque build of the Serperior’s tail had pooled on the around the Latios’s legs before proceeding to stealthily curve around them; lazily swaying about as if making an effort to catch her wandering thoughts. As they returned to her memory one by one, a devilish smirk phased into view a cross her face as she could not help but have traces of her venom coat her fangs with its striking vibrancy. She could practically taste his innocence being gifted to her as she longed to indulge herself in it.

“Well…maybe I could’ve…wrapped things up a bit more neatly…even though I did have a grasp of the situation at hand~” she charmingly surmised as one of her fingers casually twirled around one of his flicking ears.

A shiver of arousal would paralyze Karma’s muscles with his blush painting muzzle as the tantalizing sensation of Lotus’s flawless scales skimmed around his waist before slowly working its way up to his chest. However, he would not dare to interrupt her explanation as the mesmerizing allure of her eyes forbade him from doing so.

“I would love to show you what I should’ve had planned out…but I just can’t bear to…put the squeeze on you…darling~” she softly crooned with a minx-like purr; leaning in close to his ear for her singsong words to dance with his consciousness.

Eventually, with a pleasurable constriction seizing the entirety Karma’s vulnerable frame from a quiet, flustered gasp to escape his throat, Lotus had finally ensnared him once more within her powerful, yet elegant tail’s covetous grasp. She managed to just barely hold back a exclamation of pure delight as she could feel her supple coils squeezing to a perfect fit around all of his indentations; steadily tightening to a firm, yet comforting tautness as to demonstrate their overwhelming strength while refraining from suffocating him. Every beat of his racing heart excited her own as she flirtatiously tugged him even closer until his muzzle amicably settled in between her prominent breasts.

“However…I suppose there is one other technique I left out that I’d be willing to give a bit of a…demonstration~” the Serperior temptingly proposed. “How about a little…’battle’ of sorts…? Just you…and me~”

As the Latios’s shallow, timid breaths drew in more and more of the sickeningly sweet aroma saturating the air, the very concept of refusal had not even crossed his infatuated mind. While gingerly heaving him upwards for his face to draw near to hers, the meticulous constrictions Serperior’s inescapable clutches would manipulate his aching form into heavenly relaxation as he provided a slow, weak nod; allowing the otherworldly brilliance of her wanting gaze to intertwine with and subdue his perception.

“Wonderful~” she warmly chimed as her palm cupped the underside of his muzzle. “Just remember to…breathe deeply first~”

Karma compliantly performed an airy, drawn-out inhale to fill every inch of his lungs with Lotus’s delectable pheromones. Relishing his acceptance, her twin-forked tongue swiped across her lips and fangs before slowly inching them towards his own until they made tantalizing contact with each other; remaining motionless for what seemed like ages. Her wanting imprisonment would gleefully savor his helpless trembling and rising temperature; eventually teasing his instincts with an encouraging squeeze. Suddenly, after reactively opening his mouth ever so slightly from the playful gesture, the slender length of her tongue would deftly slither inside with her mouth passionately enveloping his; closing her eyes and carnally sealing his fate with her “Kiss of the Serpentine”.

All of Karma’s nerves relentlessly burned with an inconceivable euphoria as the divinely addictive venom began to entangle itself with his sense of taste; a hellish mixture of twisting, alien flavors cascading into their beings for the two to feast upon. As Lotus’s tongue intimately slithered around and claimed his own as if deviously mimicking his entrapment within her lustful embrace, his body uselessly convulsed with each of his reflexive swallows eliciting a pulsation of rapturous pleasure surging throughout his system. With his movements restrained by unceasing numbness, the only thing left for his reflexes to do was to drown into the toxic allure and allow the dastardly delicious poison to gradually saturate his veins with its ambrosial rapture. The sensual mouthings made everything clearer and clearer with each passing second…

Give in…
Submit…
Succumb…

Drink…
Kiss…
Drink…
Kiss…

Was it the right decision? But it had already been determined from the start. When did it begin? Had it stopped? No matter. The only thing to perceive was the infinite, but it was unfamiliar and ever-expanding. There was fear, but it was constantly slipping out of control. However, a reassuring tightness followed by a delicate caress was all that was needed to prevent the oblivion; forever bound to its salvation. He would be safe within its trust. Trapped inside the abyssal eternity of agonizing bliss, nothing else was possible…but to fall deeper…

And deeper…
And deeper…

Without end…

After holding her ravenous, yet compassionate gesture for several more enthralling moments of thorough exploration and domination, Lotus would start to reluctantly pull away with her tongue following suit as its unwinding tautly smears against Karma’s. She made sure to leave the last remaining drops of her venom behind for him to needfully consume as she could not help but delightfully moan into his pacification from feeling his starved ingestions. With a triumphant smile and breath while thoughtfully inspecting her dreamily devoted prize from on high, her tongue performed a flourishing lash of satisfaction as if dancing to the tune of his willful surrender.

Such bountiful magnificence the Serperior’s performance brought forth upon the Latios! The lovesick trance veiling his cognition was as beautiful to behold as her combative prowess which had blossomed once more! She simply could not resist; an encore was practically being demanded by fate and she could adore his forbidden obedience all over again!

The predator and prey must perform onstage and fulfill their entwined destiny!

Your…surrender…is…delicious~

The show would eventually conclude as a becalming silence befell the area. Lotus would rest her head beside an unconscious Karma while also bringing her arms around his enwrapped self. With her fingertips playing with his fur and the attentive squeezes of her coils working to relieve his exhausted muscles, she placed a tenderhearted kiss upon the crimson hues adorning his cheek despite knowing he probably would not be able to remember that particular one at the moment.

“You know…maybe we should, ah…call it a draw for now…Karma dear…Mmhmhm~” she seductively hummed into his dormant hearing.

I know I've said this for the umpteenth time...but thank you so much for sticking around, bro; it truly means the world to me~ 💚
