Satisfying an Endless Greed

Summary:

She wished for nothing more than for his authority to be hers. However, the Witch of Greed's plan begins to deviate from its' original course. Could he be more than a tool for her interest? Could he be more than his authority? Perhaps, that boy, Natsuki Subaru, was someone Echidna was not even aware she was waiting for...one able to satisfy her unending greed.

Notes:

A/N: This is my first attempt at a smutfic, so go a little easy on me. At the same time, some feedback would be good. To set up the situation, this is an alternate Greed IF scenario where Echidna, rather than forming a relationship where they ruthlessly use one another, decides that it is far more interesting to well and truly take Natsuki Subaru's heart.

TL;DR, more wholesome alternate Greed IF.

Chapter 1: The Contract

Chapter Text

The Contract

Echidna and Subaru sat across from one another, with Subaru's eyes being thinly veiled in a darkness that she could not decipher.

The Witch of Greed had just finished explaining to him the nature of the trials, and of the fact that there was no possible way for her to confirm or deny whether what he had seen was the truth or not.

Her same placid, yet beautiful smile remained on her face. Her same dark, yet beautiful black eyes remained looking at him, betraying none of her emotions. She was an absolute enigma on the outside.

On the inside, Echidna was harboring far more obviously insidious thoughts. She had been waiting for this moment. For Natsuki Subaru to approach her of his own volition, and for him to so desperately come to her for answers. The hopeless boy in front of her was rather easy to manipulate at the moment, after all.

Originally, she had planned to make a contract revolving around his Return by Death. In exchange for being allowed a share in a portion of his soul, allowing her to take part in his ability, she would offer him her advice and knowledge to overcome nearly any situation and reach the 'happy ending' she was aware he so desperately desired.

Of course, that was just a cover for her true intentions. It would be a relationship where he would be nothing but a tool for her, and he would be the same for her. Using one another for their own purposes...that was her original plan.

However, she'd realized something, while watching his reaction to the second trial, and hearing his own thoughts...Natsuki Subaru was far easier to manipulate not as a contractor or tool, but as a person. If Echidna could wriggle her way into his heart, she would never have to worry a single moment about the indecisive boy in front of her betraying or turning away from her. Though for Echidna, the latter was more of a worry than the former.

Above all...it would be interesting to watch how he would feel about such an evil, insidious witch taking his heart for her own. So, her plan changed, ever so slightly.

She would make the boy's love, his body, his soul, and his ability hers.

"...Why are you being so nice to me?" Subaru finally spoke, looking up at her with a nervous expression. "Why do you keep trying to help me like this?"

Echidna looked off to the side, a very light blush present on her porcelain-white skin. "I think it's a little mean to force a girl to spell it out for you." She brought a hand up to her chin, slowly turning her gaze back to him. "I want you, Natsuki Subaru. Would you be willing to form a contract with me?"

Subaru's eyes widened slightly, at the Witch's sudden forthright statement. "W-What…?" A blush came to his face, much deeper than the one Echidna had. "You want me? No, no...you must mean, the contract you mentioned, right? What...do you mean by that?"

The witch's eyes narrowed ever so slightly at Subaru, sending some unreadable feeling through his body. It was as if she was looking at him naked, stripping him bare with those inquisitive, bewitching black orbs.

"It's quite adorable how you attempted to skirt around my original words...but yes, I am referring to a formal contract with me, the Witch of Greed. It would be a very simple one. From now on, whenever you run into something that you can't overcome, when you feel like you're being crushed by the weight of your sins, I will give you my support…" Her smile changed from its' usual one-note neutral look, into a far more seductive, almost inviting smirk. "...And whatever else you could possibly need. I am quite confident in my knowledge, and in my capabilities to properly satisfy any other needs that might arise. Above all, I can share in your Return by Death with you, among many other things."

At her suggestive words, Subaru found it increasingly hard to focus on just what she was saying properly. He would have expected some more deceptive terms, ones that were easily spottable as lies...but right now, Echidna was being truthful, and even more forward than he'd have initially thought, especially with her choice of wording.

His eyes strayed down to her chest, which he could easily see pushing against the delicate fabric of her dark gown. It was fully covered, but he could properly see the outline of her large chest, a sight which only drove him into thinking how it would feel to touch it...how it looked like, below that fabric, which so tightly constrained the area around her breasts...

It was only natural to have these thoughts, right? He had some natural desires too, after all…and the loneliness of these repeated loops was really beginning to get to him...

'No, no! I, I'm not here for stupid stuff like that. If Echidna can help me, good. But, I still need to watch out for any lies or trickery. She's still a Witch, after all.'

With a deep breath, Subaru forced himself to focus again, not noticing as Echidna's eyebrows rose slightly in amusement.

Unbeknownst to the boy, she chanted a small spell beneath her lips, one which had purposefully changed the dimension of her clothes. It made her chest more pronounced through them, but also allowed for a little more movement. It was all too easy for her to detect the growing hunger in his eyes, as she stared at his body.

And a small part of the witch enjoyed seeing that lust directed towards her...she was beginning to enjoy this little game between the two of them beyond simply manipulating the young man.

"I'm more surprised that you're just going to tell me all of those details so easily. I expected more of a 'shady door-to-door salesman' kind of act."

"I think it only makes sense to explain the merits of such an act." Echidna leaned down on the table, supporting her hands with her chin as she looked to Subaru. The sudden lowering of her elevation caused her chest to move ever so slightly, resting firmly against the table. "All the better for me if it makes you lean towards wanting me, even more. Or perhaps, I should lie and say that I wish only for you to focus on the contract?"

The boy gulped, his gaze growing shaky. He wished to look away, he wished to more carefully consider her words, he wished to think of anything...but the more he thought about it, the more there was no reason to deny Echidna's terms.

He could save everyone, all for the price of this practically free contract, while doing nothing but gaining from it. This was the type of deal, the type of help he had been waiting for since he'd come to this world.

Echidna had been the first person to ever listen to him, to truly talk with him and help him, the only one who he could ever comfortably share his pain with...getting closer to her like this, accepting her help...

"...That might not be too bad." Echidna looked to be about ready to temporarily drop her facade of cool-headedness, seemingly just about to jump in excitement, before Subaru held out a hand in front of him, partly to stop her, and partly to stop himself from focusing so much on her unbelievably beautiful doll-like body. "But, I have some conditions of my own. One, you can't force me to do anything I want. Two, you can't do anything to hurt me or those around me, including lying, holding info back, or plotting. And three, you have to come whenever I call you. That good?"

"Hmm…?" Echidna leaned back, seeming ever so slightly surprised at the boy's sudden change in pushiness. She felt she had perhaps underestimated his intelligence somewhat...but she had accounted for this. It seemed that she was going to be the one used her, rather than them using each other...in a way, the Witch found that interesting, as well. "Very well. I never intended this to be a one-sided contract, from the beginning."

The boy let out a relieved sigh as he heard her surprisingly easy acceptance of his terms. Of course, there was something else he wanted to ask, but that was more of a question, rather than a demand...his brown eyes trailed along the curves of her body, following not only along her soft, teasing breasts, but down to her hips, which were entirely hidden behind the lower length of her dress…her demure, small hands, and her soft lips…

This entire time, Subaru had been feeling a lust rise up in him that he hadn't felt, well, ever. There had never been a time in his life where such a beautiful woman had come onto him directly, except for Rem, perhaps.

What would it be like if he indulged in her body? If he truly took hold of her implications, and made her body his? It was just a dream world, so it wasn't as if he would need to worry about losing his actual virginity, or betraying Emilia...it would...it would be nothing but a thing for pleasure, in a place that wasn't even technically real.

At least, those were the excuses he told himself.

'...So interesting.' Echidna did not need to be a mind-reader to tell what was going on inside of the mind of the young man before her. Lonely, depressed, and lost...Echidna's offer for physical and emotional comfort was affecting him much more than it would have under usual circumstances, and the Witch knew that well.

If there was one thing she had not expected...it was that she felt a faint heat rising in her as well, thinking of the vulgar thoughts that must have been racing through the mind of the boy in front of her. 400 years...it had been 400 years, since she last physically walked the earth. Through that entire time, she had never once felt a draw to anything sexual, even if she had explored such things due to her curiosity before.

However, as she looked at the boy in front of her, it was as if her body began to force those feelings into her once again. Her own efforts of manipulation were beginning to make the Witch realize something:

She liked noticing his eyes on her. Knowing that his mind was doing nothing but focusing on her body, imagining using her to take out every last ounce of stress and built-up desire he had in himself. In her effort to arouse him, it seemed she'd grown to enjoy her little teases, as well.

Echidna felt that her plan was even more important for her own desires now, rather than her own interests. Her curiosity for his ability still remained...but Echidna wanted to know even more what it would mean to quell this feeling inside of her.

Just how it would feel to have him inside of her...to have him truly be hers. She wanted everything from Natsuki Subaru...that's what the feeling in her lower body was telling her.

"Then…" Subaru's voice broke the Witch of Greed from her thoughts. "How do you form this contract?"

At his seemingly innocent question, Echidna's grin widened ever so slightly. This was more than an opportune time to carry out the remainder of her plan. However…there was something to take care of first.

With a snap of her fingers, Echidna blocked out the other Witches from coming to interrupt this moment anytime soon. The last thing she wished for was to be interrupted when she was about to lay claim to the object of her mind and body's interests.

"It's quite simple." The Witch got to her feet, slowly, yet sensually making her way around the table. Subaru's gaze followed her the whole way, his eyes naturally traveling to look at her rounded, seemingly narrow, yet plump rear. He gulped, unsure of what she would do next…

"To establish a formal contract, you and I need to form a bond between our souls. This can be as simple as touching hands, however…" A smirk came to the Witch's face, as she slowly set herself down onto Subaru's lap, straddling him as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"W-wh-!" Subaru's eyes widened in panic and surprised, but he was silenced by feeling one of Echidna's soft, smooth fingers pressing against his lips. Her eyes looked right into his, as if staring into his soul. He stopped struggling, slowly calming for whatever reason.

"Now, now, don't act so surprised...after all, with all of those demands of yours, I do believe that I at least deserve to at least choose how the contract is established." Looking deeper into Echidna's eyes, Subaru would see more than her usual calm, affable neutrality...he could see nothing but pure hunger in them.

He felt as if the Witch was trying to devour him with her gaze alone, her presence itself taking up his mind and vision. "You've been giving me all of those looks and glances, and you truly thought I wouldn't notice? Just quite how much you desire this maiden's body…it was quite adorable how badly you were attempting to hide it, I will admit."

Her words, rolling off of her tongue made Subaru turn red even more harshly. Even then, he still tried to avert his eyes, trying his best ignore the overwhelming sensations he felt all over his body.

The feeling of Echidna's soft chest pressing against him, the warmth of her lower body heating his already barely-under-control lower body, itself. Her hands, which she had now softly laid on his shoulders, after silencing him. All only able to be felt through the thin layer of clothing separating both of their naked bodies.

To Subaru, it was like torture. Echidna was playing with both his mind and body, and he was utterly at the mercy of the undoubtedly more experienced woman's wiles.

As Subaru attempted to turn his gaze to the side, however, he felt Echidna's hands slowly move along his shoulders, up his neck, and to his face, gently cusping his cheeks in her palms. Gently, his gaze was turned back towards her face, where a light frown replaced her usual smile.

"It is somewhat hurtful how you are attempting to try your best in abstaining from me...all for the sake of that girl who won't even give you the time of day." He didn't even know if he was imagining it, but he was sure he felt a small amount of dislike in her tone as she spoke of Emilia. "However, have you forgotten? This is the castle of dreams. A place that is something out of complete fantasy. My soul may be in here, but, whatever you do in this place, stays with me and you, and only me and you…"

Almost as if emphasizing this point, Echidna's legs wrapped a little more tightly around Subaru's lower body. She wasn't exactly strong or anything, but the added pressure left Subaru gasping. The feeling of her on his lap, and the warmth from her body...it was too much for his body to realistically hold back from anymore.

He felt his pants tightening slightly, as his dick began to harden, pressing almost painfully against the enclosed space around his groin. Echidna giggled, immediately sensing the feeling of something hard pressing against her lower body.

"At the very least, it seems that your body is honest...but that's not enough." She smirked, her fingers gently tracing a path along Subaru's quivering bottom lip. Echidna was never one to half-finish a plan. No matter what, she wanted confirmation that she was truly going to permanently leave her mark on the boy, right here and now. "Say it. I wish to hear you confirm your feelings, and your desires, yourself."

"Ngh…I...I can't..." Subaru groaned as he felt Echidna shift her weight atop his lap, most likely purposefully attempting to draw the answer she wanted out from him even further. Even so, he still refused to give the words that the desire-filled Witch most wanted to hear. Her frown deepened slightly, her hair fluttering lightly behind her.

'I see, then he's going to remain stubbornly loyal to that girl, hmm? It seems I will have to change approaches.'

"To be this unwilling to take this maiden's body, despite clearly wishing for it so badly...very well then." Echidna slowly shook her head, then slowly began to bring her face closer toward Subaru's. He was stunned into shock, thinking she was going for a kiss – only for her to lean to the side, and whisper gently into his ear. "If you do not satisfy me, I will simply not form the contract. And you would not wish for that to happen, would you? After all, you do need me, in more ways than just one, do you not?"

Subaru's body and mind shuddered at these words, Echidna's warm breath rolling over his ear. "I…"

She leaned forward, giving an almost playful lick at Subaru's ears to silence him, his body only further shuddering at this sudden sensation. The Witch of Greed even felt his dick twitch against her body once again, practically jumping in delight. "I don't wish to hear any more of those superfluous excuses. Give in to your desire. Satisfy the warmth within both of our bodies, Natsuki Subaru…"

Her words drove a wedge deeper and deeper into Subaru's resistance, his breathing quickening. He held on, and held on, trying his best to ignore all of it…

"You wished for my help, didn't you? Then, make me yours. Make me fulfill your desires..."

Finally, Echidna broke him.

"D-Damn it! You and that smooth tongue of yours!" Subaru, in one fluid and forceful motion moved Echidna's clothing to the side. Rather than ripping, it seemed to come off rather smoothly, almost separating from her body. He was sure it was some magic stuff, but he didn't care anymore.

As soon as the top portion of her dress came off, Subaru was treated to quite the sight. Her bountiful breasts sprang forth with a much more pronounced jiggle, barely held back by a black bra that stopped her from being fully exposed. Just like the rest of her skin, her chest, and everything surrounded it looked absolutely beautiful.

"Ah~! I didn't think that you would be quite this forceful…" Echidna chuckled lightly, remaining entirely still as she was violently disrobed.

"Blame yourself...if you're gonna make me do this just to form that contract, then I'm gonna do everything I want, how I want to!"

Subaru's forceful words only made the purely white-haired Witch giggle slightly, seeming more amused by his words than truly taken aback.

He'd thought this before when he met her, but Echidna's skin was an incredibly perfect shade of white. It almost seemed like she was quite honestly lacking any sort of color on her skin. Yet, Subaru didn't find that unattractive. To him, it only made the woman that much more beautiful – it was like he was staring at an alien beauty, one far beyond any regular comprehension.

So, seeing the contrast between the black bra that barely covered her, and her porcelain-white skin around it, it quite honestly only turned Subaru on even further…

"To think you'd be so mesmerized simply by just looking at my skin...there's more to do than simply look, isn't there? Didn't you so bravely declare that you would do whatever you wanted only seconds ago…? I suppose that is to be expected, after all, you aren't quite experienced."

Echidna's voice seemed as calm as it ever did, despite her entire body being almost laid bare in front of Subaru's eyes. Her tone had shifted slightly higher, but that was about the only difference the boy could detect.

Still, hearing her covertly call out his lack of sexual experience...it annoyed him. He wanted to drive her wild with pleasure, wipe that ever-present smirk off of her face, and show her that he could easily handle her whenever he wanted to...driving himself even deeper and deeper into Echidna's web without even thinking of it.

"Fine, since you wanna keep talking like that, let's see if this doll-like skin of yours is as smooth as it looks!"

The Witch's eyes widened, as Subaru's hands suddenly darted for her chest. If there was one thing Echidna had to admit, she was not a woman who was prepared for surprise attacks in the bedroom...in fact, once she lost the initiative, it was hard for her to ever regain it.

"Ah-,w-wait, don't move so sudden...ly~!"

The white-haired woman's voice hitched, as Subaru's hands took hold of both of her breasts with a surprising amount of force. His fingers practically sank into her skin, finding barely any resistance. While her skin seemed as pristine and beautiful as a doll, her breasts...they were the softest, smoothest things he had ever felt.

"Man...you...your body really is just perfect, isn't it, Echidna? Bet you've just come around and seduced all kinds of easy-to-get guys with these damn breasts!" He murmured, giving her breasts a gentle, yet firm squeeze.

"Mmmh~! You...you're saying such things while enjoying it to your heart's content?" Echidna replied, trying her best to show her usual smile. However, the pleasure that had jolted through her body from Subaru's fingers left her expression looking somewhat crooked.

"You were the one that told me to be a little more greedy, weren't you? If you're gonna be offering this beautiful body you've got, then I'm gonna keep enjoying it! And I want to hear more of those pretty moans, instead of your wit!"

"I-ngh~!"

She was ready to respond smartly once more, but she was the one being silenced now, as Subaru began to fondle her breasts a bit more roughly. Her body shuddered, as the warmth that she had previously felt only began to ignite within her, burning even brighter. The feeling of Subaru's dick against her crotch just felt more pronounced, leaving her panting at this wave of sensations washing over her.

"Shut up! You said yourself to make you mine, and that's just what I'm gonna do! I'm gonna make you feel so good, you're not gonna be able to say any of that smart crap back to me ever again!"

With this declaration, Subaru ripped her bra from her body, fully exposing her breasts to the air. Her nipples were just as perfect as the rest of her body, small and pink, with no color surrounding them. And...they were already completely stiff. Echidna let out a surprisingly girlish moan as her boobs were released from her bra, just as perky and large as Subaru had imagined them to be. They were so large to the point where he could barely fit his palm around it.

"To be letting out a moan just from this, doesn't it seem like you're the ultra-sensitive one, Echidna?" Subaru teased, giving her nipples a gentle flick with his fingers. Unable to resist, the Witch let out a load moan, one that would only continue as his hands began to get to work again, massaging and rolling her delicate skin in his hands with a surprisingly expert touch, for his lack of experience.

It was obvious – Echidna's extremely pure skin and body was sensitive. Very sensitive.

"M-mmmmh...~ It...s-seems like you've become quite bold, hmm…? However...I believe it's rather...ah...unfair, if I'm the only one left to the elements like this…"

Despite her words being interrupted by the occasional moan and stutter, Echidna managed to speak, her eyes looking into Subaru's. The hunger that had once been reflected only in her eyes, seemed to be extremely present in his, as well. No, it was quite honestly more like both of them had only become even more hungry for each other's bodies.

Subaru didn't even resist, as Echidna seemed to work whatever magic on him that had allowed him to previously remove her clothing so easily, leaving the boy's shirt stripped off of him. His fairly toned body was left out in the open, with Echidna giving the sight an appreciative smile. Her hands trailed down from his shoulders, running along his chest, delicate fingers feeling up every bit of muscle she could.

She wanted to discover more, explore more, hold more, learn more...about the boy, Natsuki Subaru. More and more, she felt him occupying her mind, rather than the ability that he held.

"You are quite the man yourself, aren't you…? I could, mmmh...tell that you seemed quite...aaah...well-built..." She practically purred, her hands trailing across Subaru's defined abs. It was a rare sight for the Witch, since the few men she entertained were quite usually not the athletic types.

Her words left Subaru blushing, his confidence faltering for a second at Echidna's unabashed, frank compliments of his body. "I guess...I'm gonna have to punish these lewd, way-too-perfect breasts if I want you to shut up for good!"

As if retaliating for her words, Subaru's index fingers moved to her nipples, giving them a light pinch. The rest of his palm sank into her breasts, groping them roughly. A mixture of pain and pleasure ran through her body, with the witch gladly accepting both.

"Ooooh~!" Echidna practically threw her head back, her cheeks a deep, obvious red, as the electric pleasure practically seized her entire body. Her composed face faltered even further, and she struggled to even keep it straight.

'W-What is this feeling? I...this feels much more different than I had initially expected...I had believed that it would be easy enough to simply give him a short taste of pleasure, then control him...but he is the one pleasing me…'

His sincere attempts at pleasuring her, the way he moved his hands to be rough, yet only rough enough for her to properly feel on her, it left her in need of far more than she thought. His hands felt amazing on her sensitive nipples, but even for someone as easily-pleased as Echidna, her greed overrode her lust, demanding even more.

Without even thinking, the Witch began to move her hips, her loud moan lowering to a soft one, as she rode out the waves of pleasure crashing over her.

"A-Ah!" Subaru, for the first time, let out a surprised groan, as Echidna's movements atop his lap began to finally drive him wild for the first time. His shaft had been hard the whole time during their little rendezvous, but he had become used to it, focusing on nothing else but pleasuring the woman in front of him through her breasts. However, as soon as she began to move her hips, all of that focus washed away.

They indulged one another in this cycle of pleasure they had created, with Subaru lavishing her breasts with attention, and her hands and hips pressing against every inch of his body that they could.

Once again, his half-focused gaze met Echidna's eyes, which were glazed over with pleasure. They were just looking at each other...but without even thinking about it, the two of them closed the distance between one another, their lips connecting in passion. Rather than simple lust, however, the kiss they shared was surprisingly passionate.

Whatever ulterior motivations either had at the beginning, they had been entirely dwarfed by the pleasure that they provided to one another.

Subaru's tongue practically darted into Echidna's mouth, her tongue easily wrestled into control. His hands moved down from her breasts, instead wrapping around her back, hugging her close to him, hugging her as if she were about to disappear.

Subaru needed Echidna...not because of her body, but because of what she represented for him – the only person in the world who could understand him, the only person in the world who he could actually properly talk to about everything he had experienced...a real partner, that could help him, every step of the way…

He needed her. He was desperate to have her...he had no idea how he could possibly fix anything without the near magical help she was offering. More than anything...he just needed her. He just needed...someone.

'He's already mine...but I feel like I'm slowly becoming his, more and more, as well. I can feel some portions of myself, slipping into him already…perhaps attempting to conquer him through this method was not exactly the correct choice…'

Truth be told, despite her experience and knowledge, Echidna was near-helpless when it came to pleasure. She had been called a 'pillow princess' before, and she had to admit, it was incredibly accurate. The few things she did were minute, and she mostly received pleasure, rather than gave it.

Even a novice like Subaru was blowing her mind...not that she particularly minded it. While she may have experimented with others, the boy in front of her was the only one she ever truly offered herself to.

He was the only one who could, and would, make her feel this way.

Echidna let out a muffled moan into Subaru's lips, as her nipples ground against the rock-hard muscles on his chest, her eyebrows furrowing more and more as the dull pleasure coming from her lower lips had fully bloomed into an unbearably strong sensation.

She was feeling it...bit by bit, she was feeling the pure need in her body practically exploding into a sheer, ever stronger desire than anything she had felt before. As if sensing her need, Subaru reached his hand down, pulling away the remainder of her clothing.

Seeing her panties, it was obvious – the Witch was incredibly horny. The thin black cloth was practically soaked through, her juices running down her plump thighs.

Echidna didn't do much other than unzip Subaru's pants, reaching her hands into it to fish out his extremely hardened manhood. She let out a short gasp as she held his shaft. The length seemed only slightly longer than average...the width, however...she felt like it was enough to break her delicate body in half, especially with the ravenous hunger she had induced in him.

But in a way, that thought excited her...she was interested in just how he would pound her, take her, use her, make her his…her body was delicate, but her desires always ran rampant.

'Ah...it seems as if I've already started to become his…'

Perhaps it was the strict terms of the contract that was slowly being formed changing her, or it was simply him activating something in her that she had never stumbled upon before...but whatever it was, it was clear that she was experiencing emotions and thoughts that would usually never even come close to crossing her mind.

Yet, the Witch of Greed couldn't deny these thoughts, her tongue remaining out of her mouth as Subaru moved back, their lips parting from one another. A very short trail of saliva connected them, with Echidna giving a seductive smile, and happily swallowing the saliva in her mouth that had mixed with Subaru's. The sight only served to further strengthen his erection, the white-haired girl all too happy to feel his cock twitch against her fingers.

She slowly moved her hand up and down, panting heavily. For someone like her, just what they had done already left her far past exhausted, but the expectation in her kept her from simply falling back and giving into her tiredness.

"My…" She looked into his eyes, a grin coming to her face. "You...truly are passionate about this, aren't you…? I almost feel as if you are attempting to utterly devour me…"

"I don't want to hear that from you, when you were so eagerly rubbing that...that...t-thing down there, against me."

Echidna almost giggled at Subaru's reluctance to say something so simple, a delighted glint coming to her eye. "Afraid to say vulgar words after coming this far? After ripping off my clothes, indulging yourself in my breasts, and happily allowing my hand to wrap around your shaft...are you truly afraid to say it?"

The Witch took her free hand to grab one of Subaru's hands, leading it away from her hips, and between her legs, to press right against her panties. She let out a soft moan, and Subaru's cheeks lit up with color all over again.

"Ah~...can you feel it? How ready I am for you...for the connection between the both of us…" The Witch slowly moved his finger around, teasingly swirling it around her entrance. "The moment you mark me, the contract will have been formed. You will become mine, and I will become yours."

"Yeah…" Subaru's voice trailed off, as he found himself simply unable to look away from her, or unable to move his hands...the warmth and wetness he felt through her panties, the beginning feelings of something growing inside of him...he was being overwhelmed by it all. "Are...are you sure that you really want this?"

Echidna stared at him, wide-eyed, before eventually giggling, the most genuine laughter Subaru think he'd ever heard from her, if he thought about it. She let go of his hand and his length, easing herself backwards off of his lap, and onto the table. The Witch laid on her back, looking up to him with that smile of hers that he could just never get out of his head.

"To think that you would be the one asking me this question, and not I...you truly are an odd one, aren't you?" She reached her hands down, slowly pulling her black panties to the side with a single, smooth motion. "I want you, Natsuki Subaru...the pleasure you can give me, your feelings and desires, everything...now, will you be able to take what you want?"

As she finished speaking, Echidna used two of her fingers to spread her pristine pussy for him. He could see strings of sticky fluid inside of her, showing that she was already far past wet and ready for him to come and take her. The young man gulped, feeling a bit of hesitation rise up in himself again…

However, when he looked at those eyes, those beautiful eyes of hers that were practically begging him to come forward and enjoy her body, there was nothing he could do to fight back.

"If...if you invite me like that, Echidna...I can't resist!" Subaru pressed his hands down onto either side of the woman and eased himself right into her entrance. She light out a delighted moan as she felt the tip press into her, and bit by bit, the rest of his long, thick shaft making its' way into her pussy.

"A-Ahh….ah….y-you're filling...me…~!" Every trace of Echidna's usual calmness had disappeared, replaced by a look and voice of pure pleasure.

"And you're...ngh...so tight!" Subaru grunted in response, resisting the urge to let out a moan, himself. For how experienced Echidna was, she felt like how he'd imagine a virgin to feel like, not that he had any frame of reference. He could feel almost every bit of her folds wrapping around him, caressing the entire length of his cock.

The fact that she had already been practically dripping with moisture made his entrance extremely easy. Bit by bit, he began to spread her out, with the Witch wincing as her walls were stretched for the first time in a very long time. Yet, she was able to bear the pain, for she was only focused on the fact that he was already inside of her...the connection between them was all but already made.

It was a feeling like nothing else. Subaru wasn't sure that he could even explain it, now that he was experiencing it. For some reason, it felt emotionally deeper than him just thrusting his dick inside and out of her wet pussy.

He felt as if he was melting into the Witch in front of her, becoming one with her...as if they truly were connecting not only physically, but in mind and heart. Looking down at her face, seeing her moan, Subaru couldn't help but find the evil witch...even more beautiful than he usually did.

"Echidna...Echidna…!" He repeated her name as he sped up even more, as if desperate to just have her name on her lips, to know that she really would be there.

"H-Haah...ha...you don't need to say my name so much...mgh~! I...won't be going anywhere, anytime soon…" She promised with a surprisingly sultry tone, her eyes filled with an emotion even she wasn't sure about.

Without even needing to ask about it anymore, Subaru bent over to start yet another passion-filled kiss with the white-haired woman. She was the one to reach up this time, wrapping her arms and legs around his back, practically forcing him to stay close to her.

Becoming more conscious of how his rough pace may be somewhat hurtful for the witch, he tried his best to keep it a little more moderate, focusing more on moving in ways that would get a response from her, rather than focusing only on the pleasure that he was receiving from being inside of her. He was inexperienced, but making up for it with his proper effort and attention to her reactions.

The witch, noticing how adorably hard he was trying, decided to give him some more obvious hints. Between kisses, Echidna would moan, as Subaru's dick managed to hit a particularly good spot inside of her, and Subaru would groan, as her walls would tighten around him in response. Again, they were feeding into this cycle of eternal pleasure between one another.

And Subaru was realizing just how much this simple, carnal act...was bringing him the closest he had ever been to a person. A person who was actually here, giving themselves to a worthless man like him...his mind grew heavy, as his usual dark thoughts began to overcome him.

"I need you…" Subaru murmured, his voice shaking, his hips slowing down to a crawl as he began to speak, letting out every single emotion he had deep inside of him. "Please...please don't go anywhere...don't...don't leave me behind like everyone else…"

Usually, he would do nothing but keep those feelings inside, ball them up until he had some sort of outburst, but, Echidna had been more than just a simple person to him from the moment he met her. He was the person who he had likely shared the most of his suffering with...she was the only one in the world right now who could ever understand all he had gone through, all he had done, other than the woman who forced her love, and this ability upon him.

Hearing these words from him, Echidna felt something. She actually felt a feeling stir in her heart. For the Witch, her greed, her unending interest in something was the purest form of "love" that she could ever give. No, for her, it was her love.

So why, did having this boy so close to her...relying so much on her...being so open and trusting with her...openly sharing his burden with her...indulging in her...why did it stir some other feeling in her heart, other than her simple curiosity?

Echidna didn't have the answer. But before she could think, words came to her mouth.

"I won't…" She replied, breathless, her eyes looking right into his. "Now and forever, I will be by your side...I promise that on my title as a Witch…" Her smile slightly widened. "So please...continue indulging our greed...m-mngh...~! Keep waking up...more and more...of these, mnh...mysterious feelings, in me!"

Every time Echidna had jokingly called herself an innocent, pure maiden, Subaru had seen it as nothing but just that, a joke. But here, with her below him, gingerly holding onto him and giving him a gaze that held such mixed love and lust, she truly did seem like nothing but a beautiful, innocent girl.

Maybe, just maybe...the Witch was beginning to take a higher and higher position in his heart. Holding each other close like this, pressing their bodies to one another, being so deeply connected, Subaru had never shared this sort of intimacy with any person before.

"Geez…" A small smile came to him, pausing his movement for a second, which made Echidna whimper in need. "If you keep saying such cute stuff, I'm really gonna fall for you a little, you know?"

"Ah-Ahn~!"

Echidna couldn't even respond to his words, as he began to make love to her once again, this time more slowly and meticulously pressing thrust after thrust. She moaned out in surprise, feeling her walls clamp around his thick shaft. It felt like electric currents were running through her body with each movement of his hips, his dick grazing against her clit with each thrust downward he took into her vagina.

The way he seemed to be able to find the perfect spots in her was one thing, but the stimulation coming from her clit just drove her even further over the edge, taking his thrusts from simple, mindless movements, to electrifying, extremely pleasurable movements.

Not to mention, now that she was properly acclimated to his size, and pain or discomfort that came from the thickness of his dick was replaced by unbelievable pleasure.

Both of them were beginning to lose track of time. Subaru had no idea how long it was, but for some reason, he just kept pressing away into Echidna without a care for anything else in his mind. Every so often he would feel her body shudder, or feel her walls clamp down especially tight around him, and each and every time, it only brought him closer and closer to the edge.

Knowing that he could bring her pleasure, return even a little bit of the satisfaction and happiness she was offering right now made Subaru hold out, pounding orgasm after mind-shattering orgasm into her body, and all Echidna could do was lay there and take it, her grasp on Subaru's back growing weaker and weaker, as her already low stamina began to truly give way.

She was completely being dominated by him, but her mind was much too far away to care about such things at the moment. The greed within her demanded her to take as much of this pleasure from him as she could, to hold on so that she could experience more and more of what he was giving her in return.

Moans and whines escaped her lips freely, silenced only by the short moments where their lips connected. The sounds of their lovemaking lewdly echoed through the castle of dreams, accompanied by the sound of the table shaking and creaking at the force of Subaru's strong thrusts.

This compensation was truly something she'd have to make a habit out of asking him for, once they were contracted.

"E-Echidna...I'm...gonna…!"

And speaking of their contract...Echidna could feel the boy's shaft twitching inside of her, pulsing, ready to spill its' load deep inside of her. Her womb was practically burning up, ready to accept everything he had. The woman panted, looking up into his eyes, a beautiful smile coming to her face.

"S-Subaru…" His name came from her mouth, far more sweetly than she had intended to. In fact, it was the first time she'd properly called him anything other than 'you'. "Let it out...let it out inside...mark me, make the proof of our, mh...connection…mark me as yours…"

At that moment, Echidna, for the first time in her life, didn't feel quite like an evil witch. She felt like a regular woman, asking for the attention and care from a lover...it was a sensation that she had never experienced before, but she allowed it to overcome her, not even caring for how out-of-character it made her sound.

Pretenses never mattered to her, after all. As long as she could fulfill her greed, that was all that mattered. And right now...she wanted nothing more than for Subaru to let out his proof of returning that greed, the greed that was her love, and letting it out deep inside of her.

"A-Ah-!" With one final, weak groan, Subaru felt his lower body twitch, as an uncontrollable feeling came over his legs. It was like he lost all strength in his hips, his dick pressing its' deepest into her. He couldn't reach to her womb, but she found it almost adorable how he seemed to be trying his best to do it.

Her legs tightened around him, holding him close to her. She let out a soft moan as she felt spurt after spurt of his hot, sticky seed flow into her, rope after rope pushing its way into her womb, with force. It lasted only for a few seconds, but Echidna loved every second of feeling his cum fill her up, even the final weak spurts he gave, as his dick lost most of its' strength.

Something inside of her felt satisfied, as she felt it all settle in her womb. He hadn't quite filled her up, but it was enough to feel the warmth inside of her...that was more than enough for the woman.

More than anything else...they were now irreparably, and definitely, bonded.

"Now...the contract is formed, Natsuki Subaru."

Her soft voice rose the boy from his stupor, panting heavily. He felt absolutely exhausted, he'd had no idea that sex would be so damn exhausting...he figured that Echidna making him do all of the work didn't exactly help, either.

Even then, he felt some sense of...pride rising up in him, as he slowly got off of the white-haired beauty, her legs loosely parting to allow him to stand, lifting his weight from the table. Seeing some of his cum mixed with Echidna's wetness, dripping from her still untouched-looking entrance.

Whether it was their souls, or their bodies melding together, or simply the heat and sweat from their skin that was making him hallucinate it, Subaru felt some sort of irrevocable bond with her. He'd thought all of her talk about 'marking her' or 'making her his' was just some sexy talk to set the mood, but he could tell that somehow, someway, something really had been established.

"Now...would you mind helping me get to my feet? You were rather merciless, after all. After that many orgasms, I'm not sure if I can even get to my feet, anymore."

Subaru was still not used to seeing Echidna forego her usual facade of innocence and easily use such obscene words, turning red.

"U-Um...yeah…"

Despite the loss of his virginity, he was still a complete virgin at heart. Echidna couldn't help but smirk at that.

He helped the woman to her feet, holding her by her hands, much too shy to brazenly touch her body as he had before when he was caught up in the lust-filled feelings she had inspired in him.

"Now then…" With a sudden movement, Echidna shifted her weight back onto Subaru, making him lose his footing.

"W-Woah-!" But before he felt his back meet the ground, he instead felt himself sitting down on a chair, with the extremely light weight of Echidna's body centered right on his lap. He looked up at her with widened eyes. "Oi! Warn me the next time you do stuff like that!"

The Witch just giggled at his outrage, her black eyes filled with an endless amusement. "Perhaps I will, however, there isn't anything in our contract that prevents me from having my fair share of fun, is there? With how much restrictions you placed on me, I believe it's only fair to allow me such liberties. Besides, did you not just have your fill of me?"

"G-Gah...you're right back to your smooth retorts, huh?"

The Witch simply giggled at his bashful reply, as she turned around in his lap to face him, tapping a finger to his forehead. "Now then, if you don't have anything further to add...I suppose that I shall have you sleep for now. The contract may take a while to form, and I do believe you've barely had any time to rest. I can't have you breaking on me, as you nearly did before."

"Huh-?"

Subaru barely managed a sound of confusion before he fell unconscious, sleeping as soon as the Witch willed it. She withdrew her hand, and with a snap of her fingers, returned the scenery to what it was before. The tablecloth was cleaned and their clothes returned to their bodies.

The Witch of Greed slowly disentangled herself from the sleeping boy, getting up to her feet. She looked at his face, which seemed more peaceful than she had ever seen it.

"…"

At that moment, she felt that odd feeling in her chest once more, her eyes locked on his stomach, slowly rising up and down as he took deep breaths. That feeling that she had trouble properly identifying, that warm, somewhat giddy feeling rose again.

"His ability is still the ultimate dream for one such as myself, however...perhaps it would be best to watch over him, as a whole." The witch couldn't be more shocked at these seemingly altruistic words coming from her lips. However, it wasn't as if her character had changed – it was simply that the focus and direction of her Greed changed.

What else could he make her feel, physically and emotionally? What was going on within his mind? What choices would he make? How would he now treat her?

She wanted to know more about him. The person – Natsuki Subaru.

A cheshire-like grin came to the face of the pale-skinned Witch of Greed, her thin lips curling upwards.

"Natsuki Subaru...I do hope that you will take responsibility for continuing to satisfy this endless greed of mine."
