Myko was on her way home from work, a long day dealing with idiot customers who didn't seem to know that grocery stores don't sell prom dresses. Myko froze upon hearing faint sobbing, was someone crying? Why? After a minute of looking around, she found the person, a long golden tailed naga with hair to match her tail pale pristine skin and a bountiful chest. Without thinking, Myko began to make her way to the naga so she could try to help her.
"What's a wrong miss?" the human asked to the tearful serpent. The naga looked up to the human, Myko was not that tall or curvy the most interesting physical trait of hers was her vibrant red hair but contrasting dark skin.
"I'm trying to find a master but no one wants me. I would serve anyone even if the mistreated me. I want to be someone's servant, anyone's!" the naga sniffled to the smaller human who just nodded. After a moment Myko wrapped her arms around the large serpent girl pulling her into a soft embrace.
"You shouldn't think so lowly of yourself. If you want a master that's fine but it should be someone who would be kind to you, not abuse you." Myko gently stroked the naga's head as she spoke, she could feel the sad serpent relax in her embrace.
"I just wanted a master. I even had this sign but no one took the offer and one woman even laughed at me before leaving. Why? " the naga whined while holding up a now partly ruined sign. Though the sign had been rained on and two letters were missing it could still be read.
"Want a master please eat". Myko looked at the tearful naga and felt her heart drop, it was clear why no one had taken the offer, by law, someone had to fully ingest someone to make them a slave. Not many could or would eat a naga due to their size being about twenty feet in length at least, not an easy feat for anyone other than an Oni or Jotnar.
"What's your name sweetie?" Myko asked without thinking.
"My-My name is Nera, what's yours?"
"Mine is Myko and you know I just remembered I have always wanted a maid but I've never found someone who wants to be my slave. So would I do to become your master Nera?" Myko asked with a friendly smile. Nera's eyes lit up at hearing this, now she could have a master to serve, someone to pamper and love.
"Thank you." the naga collapsed into Myko's arms.
"Should I take you home to eat you or try here?" the human smiled.
"Here! I want to be yours as soon as possible, please eat me, master." Nera almost shouted the answer much to Myko's amusement. Myko just nodded and took the tip of Nera's tail into her hands. Nera watched as her soon to be master began to swallow her tail, the damp but warm feeling of humans mouth exciting the serpent. She could already feel her tail sliding down Myko's throat, finally, she would get to experience the joy of being in a stomach, the joy of willingly serving a master. A swallow pulled more of the long tail into Myko's throat, this would take a while, not that the human minded though. The savoury taste of Nera's tail filling her mouth, Myko could barely wait to get Nera's human half in her mouth, to play with her soft chest, to taste her cute face. Inch by inch Nera's long tail slid down the wet gullet until her hips finally entered Myko's gaping maw.
"Do-do I taste good master?" Nera asked timidly, Myko just gave a thumbs up to answer. "That's good master, I'd hate to think I didn't taste good after how much work you had to put into eating me".
Myko just swallowed in response. Nera's soft chest entered the human's mouth, without hesitation Myko greedily began to lick the large orbs. Nera let out a loud moan from the feeling. Before she knew it her chest was sinking down Myko's throat.
"Aw, I was hoping to enjoy that for a while longer." Nera playfully whined. Myko pointed at Nera's arm's and swallowed.
"Oh ya, I guess it will be easier if I lift my arms." she did as Myko wanted and raised her arms above her head. With that Myko tossed her head back trying to get her meal down as fast as she could before she started to choke, she was already starting to feel light-headed. Nera realized this and tried to wriggle herself down deeper into the waiting stomach. With a final gulp, Myko finished the naga, she staggered to her feet.
"Well your my slave now. How do you feel about that sweetie?" her answer was a happy squee, "That's what I thought. Let's get you home after all I've got to find you a cute maid outfit."

Myko made her way home mumbling to herself
"Stupid boss and her harem." she reached for the door only for it to swing open revealing an ecstatic Nera.
"Master how- oh that bad? Well, I guess I'll just have to pamper you plenty today." Nera changed her tune almost instantly upon seeing her master's bitter face. Myko didn't even have the chance to say anything before Nera had her coiled up and was lovingly stroking the humans head. Myko could already feel the stress melt away in the naga's warm coils, eating Nera had been the best choice of her life.

(again yes ai thumbnail)
this was one of the first stories where I really started setting the hows and whys of my anthology world (what would later go on to define it at least in my eyes) with its world building. In this case the reveal that harems are rather normal, and that slavery is a thing but in a very different way than we know it. With people genuinely desiring just to serve others of their own free will for any number of reasons
