"Ooooh! Free snack!" Emily said and she lunged at Mati. Without time to react Mati was swallowed whole by Emily, she purrs. "Mmm... tasty!" Emily giggles.
Emilia is in wide shock, she looks at Emily with a surprised look on her face. "Emily! What are you doing? He is the new tenant!" Emilia says.
Emily looks at her mother with a confused look on her face. "Wait, he's the tenant? I thought he was a snack!" Emily says. She looks at her stomach. "Oopsie! I guess I'll have to let him go."
"Emilia?! What happened?! Why I'm going down?! And why is so dark and wet?!" Mati shouted.
Emilia's voice sounded muffled to him, but he could hear the panic and urgency in her tone. He felt the walls around him—soft, muscular, and pulsing—constrict around him in a rhythmic wave, pushing him deeper into the warmth. It was an overwhelming sensation, the air becoming thick and humid as he slid further down the narrow passage of the young lamia's throat. He tried to flail his arms, but the space was too tight, leaving him feeling like a piece of oversized luggage being forced through a narrow door.
Every time he tried to shout, the sound was swallowed by the fleshy walls of Emily's throat. He could feel the gentle thumping of her heart nearby, a rapid *thump-thump-thump* that matched the speed of his own racing heart. Just as he felt he couldn't breathe for another second, the tight passage opened up into a wider, warmer space. With a final, wet *squelch*, he landed with a soft thud against a plush, squishy floor.
He was now curled up in a fetal position inside Emily's stomach. It was surprisingly comfortable, like being wrapped in a giant, heated velvet blanket, though the walls around him continued to pulse and squeeze him gently. He looked up, seeing only the dark, fleshy ceiling of the stomach above him, and felt the entire room shift as Emily shifted her weight.
Emilia’s eyes widened, her gaze darting from her daughter’s smugly pulsing stomach to the empty space where the young man had stood just moments ago. She crossed her arms over her large chest, her expression a mixture of maternal exasperation and genuine concern. The heavy red coils of her tail tightened slightly against the floorboards, reflecting her agitation.
"Emily, sweetheart, we talked about this! You cannot just go around snacking on guests, especially when they are potential tenants!" Emilia exclaimed, her voice ringing through the quiet house. She stepped closer to her daughter, her towering height making her presence loom over the smaller lamia. "Now, be a good girl and release him this instant. He hasn't even seen the attic yet, and it would be terribly rude to digest him before he's had a chance to sign the lease!"
