That smile died quickly with his words. He hid from her eyes by looking elsewhere. It was just a game. For a moment he thought that Albion was serious, that he was going to take the next step. There was something between them, but was that all her imagination? They enjoyed spending time together, Albion let her talk him over into stupid things, she felt like she could tell him things she didn’t tell others and when she was in a trouble Albion had always been ready to drop everything in order to help her.<br/><br/>It was just a game. He should have known better. Albion knew how much it hurt her when her relationships failed miserably because she was the only of the two who wanted a real relationship and not just to have fun.<br/><br/><strong>Just a game.</strong><br/><br/>Nerissa let out a long sigh and covered her eyes with her arm. Albion, you are such an idiot! Don’t you understand it's a different thing to play with one’s feelings than toying with one’s carnal desires? Albion was just like every other man, under the surface he was one horny man, and Nera saw nothing wrong teasing him from that. This was different!<br/><br/>For a moment it looked like the man had made her cry because she covered her eyes like that and stayed down on her back for a good while. “Haha. I see what you did there. Well played Albion. You are good. Real good” Her laugh was dry, not Nera-like at all. “You won this round” Albion had never heard her speak like that. Her voice was colder than a permafrost. There was a string of pure malice mixed in it. The man could almost feel a coldness spreading around the demoness as she stood up and her golden eyes pierced straight through him.<br/><br/>“I see that you like playing with other people’s feelings.” The smile on her lips was hellish. There wasn’t a hint of playfulness on her beautiful face anymore. Nerissa wasn’t a violent type. She took no pleasure in hurting someone else and if she could avoid conflicts she would do that, rather fleeing than fighting.<br/><br/>“Let me make your heart race” It was a promise, a threat. The fox demon moved her hand, like she was pulling a sword out of an invisible sheath and as she did that a dark blade (https://i.imgur.com/sJJxDAw.jpg) appeared in her hand. Along the blade, at the middle of it, was a narrow faintly glowing purple groove.<br/><br/>Albion had seen that blade before. When he had been a miserable bloody mess lying on a ground, the small fox had appeared out of nowhere and jumped over him. When a pink cloud, followed by change of the form, began to dissolve the fox demon had stood there. That day she had looked absolutely amazing, standing tall, a fierce look in those big golden eyes, the black sword in her hand, her long hair fluttering in the wind and great burning lionlike beast illusions on her both sides. Without a fear, ready to defend him.<br/><br/>Yet not even that day she had had such a bloodthirsty look in her eyes. If Albion didn’t understand not to fool around with one’s feelings, she would teach him. If words didn’t stick into his mind, she would teach his body until it would remember this lesson through pain. She would bring him down and make him wash every inch of her car in nothing but some leather straps and a collar. Right in front of SOPHE headquarters. Albion better lick that bullbar clean after all this! Despite everything Nerissa didn’t want to kill Albion or send him into a hospital. Before her attack she turned the sword in her hands so she would be using the dull side.<br/><br/>Usually her illusions were cute or modest. Now she sent a pack of Stirges  (https://i.imgur.com/0GxqzGk.jpg)to block Albion’s vision, and right after that she leaped forward. With the sword her range was longer and she could stay out of his reach. Nerissa felt no mercy. One fast strike was followed by another and then another. The fox demon was going for his unprotected parts, knowing that despite her hits wouldn’t break anything, it would make him numb from pain eventually.<br/><br/>Her tactic was simple. Throwing an illusion to hinder his sight and launch an attack right after. The vicious demon girl was mainly aiming at Albion's legs, knowing that once he would lose his agility and fall he would be at her mercy. At least theoretically.<br/>
