Mortification. Pure, unadulterated mortification threatened to swallow Rias Gremory whole. To be caught in such a compromising position, by him of all people… She wished the earth would open up and devour her. Before a single word of stammered explanation or desperate denial could escape her lips, Rin moved.
With a swift, almost casual strength that belied his human appearance, he scooped her up. Not gently, not romantically, but like one might hoist a sack of potatoes. He strode back into the room where Akeno lay deeply asleep, the scent of their recent passion – sweat, sex, and Akeno's unique fragrance – thick in the air. Surprisingly, it wasn't as repulsive as Rias might have imagined; a strange, primal part of her found it almost… intriguing.
"Rin! Put me down! What do you think you're—" Rias sputtered, her face burning, squirming in his grasp.
He deposited her unceremoniously onto the futon near the still-slumbering Akeno. His eyes, dark and intense, pinned her down more effectively than any physical restraint.
"You're in love with me, Rias Gremory," he stated, not a question, but a declaration. His tone was forceful, edged with an arrogance that grated on her nerves.
How dare he! The sheer audacity! "Don't be ridiculous!" she retorted, though her voice lacked its usual commanding authority. "You're insufferably arrogant!"
Rin merely smirked. He could see her affection stat dip slightly on the translucent blue window only he could perceive. Love: 88/100. With a subtle mental nudge, he pushed it back up. Love: 90/100. He then focused on a new, experimental stat he'd noticed available for her: Masochistic Tendencies. He began to slowly increase it.
Rias felt a wave of confusion. She should be furious, disgusted by his presumption. She usually loathed arrogant men. Yet… the anger wouldn't fully ignite. The feelings she had for him, that inexplicable, powerful pull, remained stubbornly present, a bewildering contradiction.
"From now on, Rias," Rin continued, his voice dropping to a low, dominant command, "you will obey me. Unconditionally." He punctuated the statement with a sharp slap across her cheek. Not hard enough to truly injure, but enough to sting, to shock.
Instinctively, her demonic power flared, her hand balling into a fist. She could obliterate him, a mere human. But a strange reluctance stayed her hand. He's just a human. I can't seriously hurt him. It wouldn't be fair. The rationalization felt weak even to her, yet it was enough to keep her power leashed. Unconsciously, a different kind of thrill, dark and unfamiliar, began to stir deep within her.
Rin's hand shot out, grabbing one of her breasts, kneading it roughly as if it were nothing more than a piece of meat. "You think these are special?" he taunted, his gaze contemptuous. "They're just flesh."
Words of defiance died on her lips. Instead, a soft gasp escaped. Her breath hitched, her pulse quickening. This was wrong, degrading, yet her body was betraying her, a traitorous heat spreading through her veins. Why… why am I reacting like this?
He spun her around and delivered a stinging slap to her backside. "You will learn your place."
Instead of outrage, a moan, quickly stifled, rose in her throat. Her mind reeled. I'm not fighting back because he's human, and I might hurt him. The excuse looped in her thoughts, a desperate mantra against the rising tide of shameful pleasure. Her lower body grew undeniably wet, a slick heat pooling between her legs as his "abuse" continued.
Then, Rin pushed her down, his intentions unmistakable. As he positioned himself, Rias braced for pain, for violation. But when he entered her, taking her virginity, there was no pain. Only an explosive, overwhelming pleasure that ripped through her, tearing a cry from her lips that was pure, unadulterated ecstasy.
The shrine, which had earlier echoed with Akeno's howls of pleasure, now resounded with Rias's. It was a symphony of surrender, a raw, primal release that felt like the culmination of every unspoken desire, every confused emotion she'd harbored for him. Her feelings for him, twisted and amplified by his manipulations, finally felt… connected, real.
Rin, feeling his own stamina wane, quickly accessed his status, pouring points into his endurance. He was determined to make Rias experience the same earth-shattering pleasure Akeno had.
"Rin… ah… Rin!" Rias cried out, her body arching, her fingers digging into his back. She kissed him with a desperate, consuming hunger, their lower bodies moving in a frantic, perfect rhythm. "I… I love you, Rin!" she confessed, the words torn from her amidst gasps and moans. "I love you so much!"
At her confession, the arrogant mask Rin had worn seemed to soften. A gentle smile touched his lips, a stark contrast to his earlier behavior. "I know, Rias," he murmured, his voice now tender as he continued to move within her, his actions a carnal affirmation of her words. "I feel it too."
In that moment, suspended between degradation and devotion, Rias Gremory was, paradoxically, ecstatically happy.
The next morning, Rin awoke to find himself alone in the room. The lingering scent of sex hung in the air, a testament to the night's activities. He stretched, feeling surprisingly refreshed despite the exertions.
He found Akeno and Rias in the shrine's small kitchen, working together surprisingly harmoniously, preparing breakfast. Sunlight streamed in, illuminating them in a soft glow. They both wore simple yukatas, their hair slightly disheveled, a flush still on their cheeks.
"Good morning, Rin-kun/Rin," they greeted him in near unison, their smiles shy yet radiant.
Rin moved behind them, wrapping an arm around each of their waists, pulling them close. He pressed a kiss to Akeno's temple, then to Rias's. "Good morning, my beautiful shrine maidens."
He could hear their thoughts, a delightful mix of lingering pleasure, newfound affection, and a burgeoning excitement for the day ahead. His own body responded instantly, his morning arousal pressing against their backs.
Akeno giggled, leaning into him. "Ara, Rin-kun, you're already awake I see."
Rias blushed but didn't pull away, a soft sigh escaping her. "Goodness, Rin…"
Before the rice even finished cooking, the three of them found themselves tangled together in the shrine's small, steamy bathroom, starting the day with another round of passionate exploration. Breakfast, it seemed, could wait.
