"Behind the Velvet Curtain"

As I stood there, still reeling from Elara's revelation, the succubus's eyes flicked to mine, her expression cold and calculating. She seemed to have dismissed me, her attention now focused on Elara. With a sly smile, she reached out and pinched Elara's butt, sending her off to serve drinks. Elara giggled and playfully swatted at the succubus's hand, before making her way to the next room. I watched, transfixed, as she moved from table to table, her scantily clad form drawing admiring glances from the patrons. She flirted shamelessly, pouring drinks and laughing with the customers, her eyes sparkling with a practiced ease. The succubus's gaze followed mine, her eyes lingering on Elara's form before turning back to me. Her expression was distant, almost disdainful. It was clear that Elara was now her woman, and I was no longer a part of their world. "You see, I met Elara a few months ago," the succubus said, her voice dripping with honey. "She arrived at my doorstep, with Jax and Lily in tow. She was a mess, scared and broken. But I saw potential in her, and I knew I could train her to be a model prostitute." The succubus's eyes seemed to gleam with excitement as she recalled the past. "I trained her, body and soul. I taught her how to please a man, how to make him beg for more. And I took her as my own lover, of course." She leaned back in her chair, a look of satisfaction on her face. "During that time, Jax ran away. I didn't bother trying to find him. He was just a child, after all. But Lily... well, she was a different story. I sold her to a passing slave caravan. She was just a commodity, after all." The succubus's voice was devoid of emotion, as if she were discussing a business transaction rather than a child's fate. "Elara was devastated. She gave in to her sadness, and started offering breeding contracts. And let me tell you, she's been very... prolific." A smile spread across the succubus's face, her eyes glinting with amusement. "She's given birth to two satyrs, sired by that handsome centaur who comes to visit. And then there was the Minotaur calf, and the three elves... oh, and my own daughter, of course." The succubus's laughter sent shivers down my spine. I felt like I was trapped in a nightmare, unable to wake up. Elara, the woman I thought I knew, was now a stranger to me, a prostitute trained by the succubus to pleasure men. And I was powerless to stop it.
