Chapter Text
It was the last week before the Fall break for universities around the country. Leaves fell to the ground or drifted on breezes in various shades of brilliant red and simmering orange, many students prepared to return to their homes for the holiday season but naturally there were still a fair few which for one reason or another had decided to stay at their dorms or in their community housing. While for most the Fall break marked a time of relaxation and renewal away from schoolwork, for one particular communal building this simply wasn't the case.
The Community Of Neighborly Dudes Outside Marriage was, as most would label it, a fraternity at the fairly renown University of Eros. By their own statements and advertisements they were a simple brotherhood of gentlemen which valued education and social interaction above all else, offering cheap rent and membership to any single men attending the university. To their Mamono peers however they were a bunch of teases, boys strutting about in their single lives and in dire need of a proper wife to give them the fulfillment that they were clearly desperate for. Some of the staff at the university, the older Mamono in particular, often muttered to themselves about the fraternity being little more than "an Order splinter" but no one really knew what they were talking about.
Several of the members of the frat had even been searched and detained in police custody due to rumors of contraceptive trafficking but thus far no real evidence had ever been discovered. Although more than one of the detained frat members wound up being excluded from the frat afterwards due to finding wives while in custody. The main protection and security for the fraternity was actually the university's own rules. While they did have mixed and couples dorms, as was necessary with Mamono involved, they also had properly separated housing as well. And such male only housing were protected from intrusion by mana barrier wards, so that the college's rules around no claiming on campus could be upheld. At least officially, unofficially there were hundreds of marriages and dozens of new families every semester as one might expect.
These mana wards however had one particular caveat which each member of the fraternity knew and expected with dread and that every single Mamono on campus eagerly looked forward to, they went inactive during school breaks. Those of the C.O.N.D.O.M. frat which were cautious and wise enough knew to leave before break began, heading back home or at least out of town for the holiday season. Those of the fraternity who couldn't afford to leave, had nowhere else to go, or wished to stand beside such desperate brothers in a show of unity however simply had to bunker down in the frat house and hope that they were overlooked or avoided getting caught and claimed by a lonely Mamono. Thus far, no man in the history of C.O.N.D.O.M. had managed to make it through a school break at the frat house and emerge single, but for those daring or unlucky enough to stay they would certainly try.
Stories of raids and sieges on the frat during breaks had been told to each member of the brotherhood, of Mamono tearing open dorm rooms and claiming their husbands all across the house. Campus police during breaks were little more than a skeleton crew and what few there were were typically single Mamono, just as eager to snag a husband as any of the students, therefore the frat was on its own. And the few dozen or so men left within the frat house knew this well enough, and they prepared accordingly. Food had been stockpiled, every window boarded up, each entrance barricaded, corridors and chokepoints established in order to funnel any attackers into kill zones. And of course there was no shortage of pellet guns loaded with Demon Silver pellets in order to fend off the voracious Mamono that threatened their chastity.
Howard was one such C.O.N.D.O.M. brother, attending Eros University for a degree in literature and ideally a future place as a professor there. He didn't really have any qualms regarding Mamono in particular, he just wanted to pursue his education first and foremost. Becoming a father right out of high school was a fate that had befallen most of his friends and peers already and it just wasn't one that he wanted to share in yet. Unfortunately his flight back home had gotten delayed a day, leaving him stranded alongside the scarce few other members of the frat which were similarly stuck at the community house for one reason or another. Each of them knew well enough that last stands such as these hardly lasted long, without the Mana barrier Mamono could enter and leave the building at their leisure alongside their husbands and there was only so much that they could do to hold out.
Thus far the record in the halls of the community house was two days, roughly a decade ago now. Two days which the previous left behind members of C.O.N.D.O.M. had held their own against the tide of their lustful peers. All Howard needed was one. In spite of the numerous preparations that they had made and the pellet gun in his grasp now though, he wasn't sure if they could manage one day or not. The defense was led by sportsball captain Jay, one of the more senior members of the fraternity which in the past had gone home for the holidays but now decided it was high time to take a stand with his brothers. Howard was lucky enough to be stood alongside Jay in the rear lines, with the two of them were one of Jay's teammates Chad and the political science major Seymour. The four of them made up the rear guard by the front entrance to the building, just behind the main frontline and the hall guards. More importantly, they were on the grand staircase which led up into the dorm rooms so they would be the first able to retreat if things went to shit. A fact which Seymour seemed delighted by given that he'd mentioned it three times now.
"We won't be retreating." Jay stressed again, casting a brief glare at Seymour in the process. "We'll be providing overwatch in the event of a withdrawal." The captain didn't enjoy the eyeroll that he received for that but before they could get into another spat Howard did as he usually does and spoke up to preempt it. "So who got all these pellet guns anyway? We're able to arm everyone and we've got like...what, two dozen dudes here?" At that Chad perked up and grinned, beaming ear to ear. "That would be me Howie!" Howard had never once asked to be called 'Howie.' "My pa runs a store for these badass weapons back home. I told him I needed firepower and he had them shipped here just in time for tonight." Chad was another one which could, and perhaps should, have gone home for the Fall Break as well but chose to stay for his captain and his brothers in the house.
Howard may not have usually brushed elbows with the likes of Jay and Chad but their confidence was reassuring given the odds they were facing down. As the other three of his group continued some idle chatter and comparison of guns, his gaze drifted towards the grandfather clock in the lobby that they were overlooking now. At midnight Fall Break would officially begin and the barrier would be deactivated, they had less than a minute. He tightened his grip on his pellet gun and swallowed thickly, wondering if he'd see any familiar faces coming for him in the moments soon to follow. Obviously due to the rules against claiming husbands during school hours, more than a few Mamono had their eyes on specific men and would use the lack of barriers to grab them before anyone else did. Some Mamono respected such unsaid claims and others didn't, but when it came to their frat in particular from what he had heard from his jeering classmates tonight would be a free for all by default. First cum first hitched as it were.
"Movement by the bushes!" One of the door guards called down the hall, making everyone in the lobby snap to attention. Howard included, leveling his gun forward as he propped up against the staircase's railing. The doors had all been barricaded of course but with Mamono it was only a matter of time before said barricade was little more than splinters on the floor, necessitating a handful of door guards to try and thin their numbers before they hit the doors. Brave bastards, they'd be pulled out first. They pulled open the shutters next to the doors and began laying down fire into the front yard, the radio on Jay's hip crackling to life with similar reports of first engagement at the other entrances to the house. While they were guarding the main entrance in the North, the side doors on the Eastern and Western side as well as the back garage doors in the South all needed their own garrisons as well of course. And so it began.
"Look alive brothers! C.O.N.D.O.M. will hold strong this night! We will not tear! We will not break! Fight for your right to marry who you want!" Jay called out, earning a cheer and some whoops from the assembled brothers in the lobby. The loudest of which came from Chad of course, right in Howard's ear. Cheers soon turned to gasps and cries of shock as the barricaded front doors were suddenly blown open, sending the guards there tumbling back away from the windows. "They got the fucking magic teacher with them!" Guard 1 barely uttered the warning before a large translucent purple hand manifested around him, stopping him in his tracks and pulling him out into the night. Howard and Seymour shared a look of concern but Jay simply cocked his gun and shouted for all eyes to face forward and start firing.
His radio soon began speaking with similar warnings of the doors being breached right away, with one such caller shouting about how it was "Game over man! Game over!" before some giggling female voice pulled him away whilst he was still screaming. "Damnit! Everyone pull back to the lobby, this is where we make our stand!" Jay's orders seemed far less likely as a tide of Mamono started to rush into the entrance hall however, met by a hail of fire from the frontline guards in the lobby. "Let 'em have it!" "This is for pinching my ass Stacey!" "WOLVERINES!" If there was only one thing that Howard could say about his brothers in arms, it was that they were brave. But he was still very glad that he chose to stay in the rear guard, as soon enough even without the Mamono reaching the frontline a few of the men there were already being picked off.
Cupid arrows flew through the air over the rushing Mamono horde and managed to hit some of the frontline guards, the effected men dropping their weapons and practically throwing themselves into the incoming tide of waiting arms and breasts. Manticore spines soon joined the arrows and left those hit by them writhing on the ground in an overwhelmed state of pleasured bliss, each hit making the frontline less and less secure. When the horde did start to reach the frontline position all morale broke down instantly, with men running away or going down shooting. "Pull back! Up the stairs now!" Jay didn't have to say it twice, Seymour was already halfway up by the time that he had spoke. Howard fired off a few shots but soon followed, pausing only when he felt a hand on his arm. He turned to see Chad pointing towards the bottom of the stairs where one of the frontline guards were still cowering and trying to shoot with what was clearly an empty gun.
Alex was his name, a bookish and quiet boy that Howard shared several classes with. Unfortunately a Hellhound was bearing down on him, stalking towards the trembling young man with her fiery eyes alight with lust. Alex's poor pelvis would never survive her claiming. Chad turned back to Howard and Jay and gave a solemn nod. "I know what I must do. Just like when we crushed those posers at Cherub State. I gotta take one for the team." "Chad wait!" Jay's words fell on deaf ears however as his teammate vaulted over the railing and landed behind the Hellhound. "Hey gorgeous!" She turned to glance at him, seemingly annoyed that she was being distracted in her prowl towards Alex. "I got your chew toy right here!" Chad threw off his hoodie, exposing his upper athletic and muscular body bare for all to see and leaving him clad only in one of the most tempting sights for a Mamono in need. Grey sweatpants. He took off down the hall, veering around the fallen forms of his brothers as they were being set upon my Mamono, and the Hellhound wasted no time in bounding after him. Alex sighed in relief but before he could move he froze as an arm wrapped around his shoulders. A Cheshire Cat gave him a kiss on the cheek before hugging him tightly and within an instant the both of them had blinked out of sight.
Jay muttered another curse under his breath and continued moving up the stairs with Howard on his heels, the two linking back up with Seymour who had been firing down the staircase at the approaching Mamono. Now they had their backs to the grand window which overlooked the staircase, boarded up naturally, and would only be able to move to the sides into the dorm area if they needed to retreat any further. "Alright gentlemen, we can still do this! Our brothers are still counting on us, all we have to do is-" The splintering of wood behind them heralded the window being torn through, a pair of furred taloned hands grabbing hold of Jay's shoulders. Howard barely had time to glance back and recognize the Griffon leader of the Mamono sportsball team before she pulled Jay out of the house with a flap of her wings, taking him off into the night and leaving just him and Seymour.
The two looked at one another, then at the broken window behind them and the crowd of Mamono in the lobby below them. Seymour said what was on both of their minds before Howard could. "Every man for himself!" They broke off and Howard didn't bother sparing a glance back, he simply ran as fast as he could. Down the hall, around the corner, then practically kicking open the door to his room and slamming it shut behind him within the same few moments. He locked the door then set down his gun and frantically pulled over the dresser that he kept next it to serve as some sort of extra protection. He panted and stumbled back, reaching down to pick up his discarded gun when he froze in place. It was glinting in the moonlight. Moonlight that should have been blocked by his boarded up window.
The next thing he knew he was dizzy, swaying until a pair of arms slipped underneath his own and a hypnotic voice purred in his ear. "Easy there~" She giggled and coaxed him onto his bed, his body heavy for him yet offering no trouble for her it seemed. Her voice was so familiar but it wasn't until she was straddling his lap that he realized who it was, her mesmerizing gaze peering down at him as her tentacles drew wet trails across his clothes. "M-Miss Alethea?" The librarian Mindflayer smiled sweetly at him, reaching up to pet his cheek. She was one of the staff, an older and more mature Mamono that was apparently wise enough to break in through his window to grab him rather than joining in the horde downstairs. "My poor Howard, you look exhausted." Now that she mentioned it he did feel very fatigued and winded from his run.
His eyes felt heavy but even half-lidded he couldn't tear them away from the Mindflayer on his lap, watching in vain as her tentacles slid underneath his shirt and pants to lather across his body. It was an odd sensation, like multiple long tongues trailing across his form and making him shudder beneath her which earned a giggle from Alethea. "You know dear, you really should focus a bit more." What did she mean? He was fully focused on her and her machinations, he couldn't tear his gaze away at all. "No no, you need to focus my dear."
In an instant Howard realized that he must have been daydreaming, dozing off a bit during his reading. He wasn't in his bedroom on the night of Fall Break, he was in the library with Miss Alethea hovering over him with a concerned look on her face. "Are you alright? You look quite tired, you know you should focus on your studies but you shouldn't push yourself so hard." She chided him with a hand on his shoulder, the gesture a bit more familiar than he was used to from the librarian but clearly she was just worried for him. "I'm sorry ma'am, I guess I have been burning the midnight oil a bit." He offered a chuckle but she wasn't so easily dismissed. "Howard dear, you're practically passing out right in the middle of my library." She stated rather bluntly before smirking and reaching to gently pinch his cheek.
"Just because you're my favorite visitor doesn't mean you get to sleep here." Miss Alethea's pinching turned to patting, then caressing, her gaze becoming more tender. "You know, I know just how to perk you right back up again. If you'd like?" Howard blinked and despite the apprehension in the back of his mind he felt compelled to nod. She smiled and took the seat next to him, scooting her chair closer until their hips touched. One of her hands rested on his thigh as she licked her lips. "Now I don't offer this to just anyone Howard, I'm only doing this because you're my favorite. You understand?" He did, of course he did. Everything she said made sense. "Good boy~" He shivered at that, for a brief moment the library fell away and his dark room surrounded them in its stead but another blink and he was back at the table with her deft fingers slipping beneath the waistband of his pants and underwear.
"W-Wait-" "Shhh~" She cooed in his ear, the noise ringing in his ears as she fished his cock out of his underwear. It was already rock hard oddly enough, but he couldn't remember being so hard until now. Had he just been sitting at the desk erect this whole time? A kiss on his cheek banished his confused thoughts as her hand ever so gently ran up and down his length. Her hand was soon joined by a pair of her tentacles, lapping at the head of his dick before suddenly wrapping around his whole member in a wet undulating vice. He gasped at the sudden sensation and she silenced him with a kiss, the pair of them moaning into it before she gently pulled back from it. "Quiet my dear, we are in a library you know~" She was right of course, where else would they be? Howard grunted his agreement and bit his lip as her tentacles moved back and forth on his cock, having to close his eyes to focus on keeping his moans from spilling out.
When his eyes opened however he wasnt in the library at all and those weren't tentacles on his cock, instead he was pinned to his bed with Alethea riding his member with reckless abandon and shuddering gasps of her own. She was even more magnificent in the moonlight, streaming in from his broken window and framing her shaking body's wet sheen with a divine glow. "Oh Howard~!" She cooed as her head lolled back, her hips working her tight walls up and down his shaft in a rapid pace. "M-Miss Alethea-" She looked back at him and her eyes widened as though in realization, leaning forward to take his cheeks in her hands and pull him into a kiss that he simply couldn't resist returning, closing his eyes to savor the moment.
When she pulled back from him they were back in the library and her tentacles were furiously working his cock as she softly moaned in his ear. "Just ease into it my love, just relax and let me have you~" Since when did she call him her love? She always referred to Howard as 'dear' sure but never her love. Before his eyes as pleasure built up in his loins he saw the library melt away into his darkened bedroom, watched Miss Alethea bouncing on his lap in an irregular rhythm as what must have been her orgasm hit her and broke her composure. "Stubborn young man." She huffed, though a smirk did cross her features. "I wanted our first time to be more romantic, but since you insist..." She grabbed onto his shoulders and Howard felt a cold drop of fear in his fatigued body as she leaned in to trail her tongue along his chin.
"I'll just have to ravage you like all those young girls downstairs do~" Withour any further delay her quick pace, which had stuttered to a stop during her climax, renewed with fervor. Each time their hips connected he felt the fatigue and heaviness in his limbs start to dimish somewhat but her tentacles had him pinned to the bed regardless. All that Howard could really do was thrust his hips up into her heavenly slit, not that he was complaining. The librarian rode him ever more intensly and soon he felt his toes curling as his cock throbbed and an undeniable sensation wracked his body. "I-I'm gonna-" "Oh yes you are~!" Alethea captured his lips in a kiss as he came, swallowing his moan and plunging her tongue into his mouth whilst he filled her pussy with her hard earned prize.
He weakly bucked his hips into her as they kissed, drawing a few moans from her in kind as her inner walls drained his shaft right into her welcoming body. There was a trail of saliva between them as she pulled away, planting her hands on either side of his head. In spite of him having to catch his breath from their long kiss, she simply smiled down at him without a care in the world. "So, ready for your extracurricular my love?"
-
The C.O.N.D.O.M. house had been ransacked in the night, with new stains and broken furniture as well as abandoned weapons and pellets littering just about every room of the building. None of the brothers which stood against the tide of Mamono could walk in the morning, most of them having to be carried out of the house by their new wives or still being subjected to rigorous lovemaking even into the daylight hours. Chad and Jay, as well as several others, were just missing entirely having no doubt been dragged off somewhere else to be claimed by their brides.
Howard and Alethea did see Alex with his Cheshire wife though, offering the pair a wave as they loaded boxes into a moving truck. Naturally Alethea had been insistent on having him move in with her right away, promising him his own nook full of his favorite books that she had been preparing for him this past week. While it was a bit sad to leave behind the frat, seeing all his brothers happily kissing and hanging onto their new wives did bring a smile to his face. Perhaps they'd have to gather together in a new frat one of these days, albeit without the shared living space.
