Seigyou Tensei - Legitimately Employed Reincarnation

Ariel Interlude.
Ariel sighed as Rudy kissed her lips, pressing her down into the mattress. To her right, Sylphie and Roxy watched from a few inches away while petting each other and occasionally kissing, content to play the part of voyeurs to Ariel's first time.
My first time in two lives, she thought happily, before her thoughts briefly soured. First time with a man. Not my first time.
Taking a breath, Ariel forced herself to focus on Rudy and the feel of his lips on hers, their tongues rolling over each other, one of his hands laced with hers and the other stroking her hip. It was very sweet and romantic. Gentle, even. Gentler than she really had expected of him, given the bath time tales the girls told of their bedroom exploits, when Rudy wasn't sharing the bath with them.
First time with my husband. First time with my wives. That's what matters, she finally decided, and managed to banish the bad feeling with happy thoughts. After thirty years and two lifetimes, she had finally gotten married and would soon become a mother.
She had gone from Nanahoshi Shizuka, fifteen year old Japanese high school student before, to Ariel Anemoi Asura, second princess of the Kingdom of Asura after a surprise visit from Truck-kun. Despite the gilded, seemingly charmed life she had been reincarnated into, Shizuka's new life had not been all sunshine and roses. Her family were a bunch of degenerates and, in order not to be the nail that got hammered down, she had to blend in. Which meant putting on the act of the degenerate princess as soon as she was old enough to be expected to start taking an interest in sex and the debauched games nobles and royals played. She had feared for her chastity, feared she would have to embark on a journey of ever more depraved acts in order to satisfy her family.
Luckily for her, salvation arrived in the form of an avenging angel, to save her from a monster that had apparently been teleported into the castle garden—too late to save her friend and the only decent noble she knew at the time, but just in time to save Ariel. That was how Sylphiette entered her life, and from there, Rudy, Roxy, Eris, and everyone else. The people she was happy to call family now.
Ariel's thoughts were pulled back to the present as Rudy kissed her ear. "What are you thinking about?"
"Sorry," Ariel apologized for her distraction, shaking her head and smiling. "I was thinking about how happy I am that I have you all now. That I don't have to be someone I'm not."
Rudy reached up and petted her head, and Ariel felt a blush come to her cheeks. No one had done that for her since she was tiny. In fact, the last person to do it was Lilia—who had been more of a mother to her than her own mother. It made her feel small and vulnerable, but also… safe, happy, and warm. "We're glad to have you, Shizuka."
Ariel bit her lip at that, before whispering, "Can I be Shizuka tonight?"
"Any time you want," Rudy nodded.
"Of course you can!" Sylphie agreed, followed by a quiet, "Mm," from Roxy.
"Thank you all," Shizuka smiled happily, and Rudy reached up and brushed away the tears at her eyes. Sucking in a deep breath, she let it out in a shuddering, gusty sigh. "I'm happy, I promise!"
Lips found her neck and Shizuka squirmed as Sylphie wrapped herself around her right side. She caught side of Roxy moving around behind Rudy, before the bluenette latched onto her left a moment later, the Migurd woman's lips seeking out Shizuka's cheek and jaw. Sylphie's and Roxy's hands roamed her body and the white haired girl's hand glowed for a moment, before Shizuka found herself sucking in another breath, this time in shock at just how sensitive she felt.
"O-oh~," she managed to get out, before Rudy chuckled and his own hands joined theirs and his lips trailed down from Shizuka's mouth, to her chest, kissing the swell of her breasts but ignoring the aching peaks of her nipples. She mewled and squirmed as he kissed his way down to her belly, occasionally gently nipping at her entirely too sensitive flesh. "Rudy~," Shizuka whined. "Don't tease me!"
"Tease you more?" Sylphie giggled.
Roxy nodded. "That seems to be what she's really saying."
"No! I'm really not!" Shizuka shook her head, sending her blonde curls flying. "I, I can't take much more teasing! I've been pent up for days now and hearing you two talk about your wedding night when I couldn't join in has left me frustrated!"
Sylphie and Roxy shared a look, before Sylphie leered. "Hold her down."
The pair pinned Shizuka's hands above her head as their lips and free hands began to tease her body mercilessly. Shizuka moaned and struggled as they teased her, but the truth was… she loved every second of it, and Sylphie knew this. Sylphie knew many of Ariel's dirty bedroom secrets. She knew Ariel was a masochist, a submissive, and a pain jockey—and had, in fact, given Ariel that fetish herself. But this night wasn't supposed to be about 'Ariel,' it was supposed to be about 'Shizuka—'
Rudy's fingers spread her lower lips open and his mouth descended on her, and Shizuka's hips bucked as he assaulted her sopping cunt. A ragged moan left Shizuka's lips and she gave up fighting, because in the end, this was what she wanted anyway. To be pushed down and ravished by the man she loved and only the man she loved… and maybe some cute girls to go with him. The fact that those cute girls would be her fellow wives and sisters in all but blood was just a bonus for her.
Rudy's fingers slipped inside her channel and began gently stroking inside her, while he kissed, sucked, and licked away at her folds. At the same time, Sylphie attacked her nipples, inhaling them both, while Roxy kissed her lips and the Migurd's tongue explored her mouth.
Between the attentions of her husband and wives, Shizuka found herself quickly lost in the throes of passion, her mind going blank as her cries were swallowed happily by Roxy. Before she had even recovered from that, Rudy was moving up between her legs, spreading her thighs. For just a moment, he laid his cock out on top of her mound and belly, and Shizuka realized just how large he really was.
It's like something out of a hentai, she managed to string the thought together, before Rudy pulled back and pressed his cock into her folds. And then he was pressing forward, and Shizuka felt him press against her hymen. There was just a moment of resistance, then a sting of pain as he tore through the barrier. Sylphie's hand was pressing into her mons a moment later and the pain vanished, healed away as if it had never been. Shizuka didn't know quite whether to be happy or a bit disappointed—after all, that little bit of pain was supposed to be part of the process, and having the pleasure overcome pain was kind of a big thing… especially in her romance books and doujins, when she had been a teenage girl on Earth.
Then, she felt magic tingle inside her and Rudy pulled back, and Shizuka's world changed as his cock somehow scraped every sensitive little fold, nook, and cranny inside of her channel. She realized he was using magic to cheat about the time she felt a little bead of what must be her own arousal form on her clit, before starting to swirl, suck, press, and even vibrate. And then Rudy pulled her legs up in a V, resting them on his shoulders as he settled into her with a steady, forceful pace that very quickly had Shizuka keening and clenching Sylphie, Roxy, the sheets, and whatever else she could get her hands on as he drove her wild.
"Hehehe~!" Sylphie giggled, before kissing Roxy over Shizuka's body. "It's so fun to watch him do that to someone!"
Roxy met Shizuka's blue eyes with her own before chuckling. "It's nice to see it being done to someone else for a change," she agreed, before pulling Sylphie back in for another kiss as the pair's hands began to roam each other's bodies.
Shizuka would like to protest her treatment at their hands, but all she could get out was, "Ahn~!" and other lewd, indecent, fun sounds as Rudy drove her crazy and fucked her brains out. All thought was driven from her mind, beyond the desire to move her body and match his movements, to feel his skin and that of her wives, and the need for more.
Thankfully, it seemed Rudy was intent on giving her more. More and more and more. Until eventually, Shizuka could stand no more… and he pushed her just a bit beyond her limit, before filling her womb with his warm seed and leaving her a panting, shaking, sweaty mess on the bed.
Rudy leaned down and kissed her, and Shizuka felt herself melting inside at the intimacy and intensity of it. Looking up into his green eyes with her blue, she grinned impishly. Quietly, she said, "You finally got that JK you were after."
Rudy snorted. "Shut up," he laughed, rolling his eyes and easing himself out of her.
Then, to her amazement and a little fear… and not so little excitement, Rudy pulled a squealing and giggling Roxy away from Sylphie, pushed her down on top of Shizuka, and mounted her from behind. Sylphie curled up into Shizuka's side and hugged her, pressing her lips to Shizuka's ear. "We warned you," she giggled quietly as Rudy made Roxy squeal on top of her, the mage collapsing into a spent puddle after just one orgasm, and Rudy just kept tormenting the blue haired mage.
"You did," Shizuka sighed happily as her body shook under the force of Rudy's thrusting into Roxy. Closing her eyes, she wrapped her arms around Roxy's insensate form and allowed herself to drift for a while, just enjoying this feeling of contentment. She wasn't anywhere near done with her wedding night and tales of Rudy's stamina were not at all exaggerated, so she would happily take another turn or two… later. After a short nap.
"…and so, allow me to introduce my husband and your new king, Rudeus Greyrat, Emperor-level Elemental mage…"
Rudy sighed as they watched the replay of the announcement, reaching up and pinching the bridge of his nose. "I look like some random asshole you pulled in off the street."
Ariel chuckled quietly as, on screen, Rudy lifted into the air and casually summoned multiple elemental dragons to dance around the city of Ars, all without leaving so much as a blade of grass disturbed in their wake—a vast improvement over the last time he showed off that bit of spellwork, if Eris's stories were anything to go by. No, husband. You look like what you are. A powerful and dangerous wizard. I would rather our kingdom, and especially our neighbors, trade partners, and potential enemies see that than the typical image of a king—soft, fat, and clad in fancy robes. No, you suit your role just fine, my love."
"Mm," Rudy murmured, before grabbing her by the hips and pulling Ariel over into his lap. He kissed her neck and Ariel felt herself growing warm, her stomach fluttering at the attention. "Say it again."
"My love."
"I like it."
Ariel knew neither of them were quite there yet, but they were… fond of each other. They were friends. They enjoyed each other's company. They liked each other. She loved him and she was sure he loved her as well. But to say either was in love with the other was difficult. Sylphie was certain it would come with time. Roxy tended to agree. And Eris… Eris thought that if he just kept fucking her silly and 'putting hearts in her eyes,' she'd fall for him in no time.
Ariel couldn't say she entirely disagreed.
"What's our next step, wife?"
"For you? I need you to secure the borders of Asura with a wall, the same way you did Fittoa. Then build Laputa. We also need more airships, so we can begin engaging in that favorite of your American pastimes: gunboat diplomacy, under the guise of trade."
"I feel kinda singled out here. It's not like we had a monopoly on it—"
Ariel cleared her throat. "Admiral Perry."
"Not gonna let that one go?"
"Japanese Racial Trauma."
Rudy snorted a laugh, before his fingers began tickling her sides. Ariel squawked, then squealed in laughter as he tickled her. "I think if I push you down and give you enough ahegao faces, you'll get over that."
"Mm, possibly. Only one way to find out," she purred, before smacking his hands lightly. "Later! Work before play!"
"Yeah, yeah," Rudy agreed, kissing her neck and squeezing her into a hug. "We'll need to have someone start going around and taking care of the legwork of putting together a shipping company. It'd be better if we had actual crews for any cargo airships—that way, we're not just destroying jobs and replacing them with Sprite. People to move cargo on and off the ship, people to direct them, someone ostensibly in charge, merchants with connections to do all the trading for us so we don't have to micro-manage… I want to be as hands off from this as possible. I set it up, supply the ships, it runs on its own and turns a profit for the company, our family, and the kingdom. I want quarterly progress reports, not daily interruptions."
"Agreed," Ariel nodded. "You should farm it out."
"I don't want to just dump everything on Sprite, again—"
"Master, if I may?" the spirit in question interrupted, her hologram appearing nearby, sending them an amused smile. "I enjoy doing things for you and your family. It gives it a sense of purpose and makes me happy when I do a good job and you praise me."
"Our family. You're a part of it," he insisted, and Ariel saw the spirit's body freeze for a just a moment, before she blushed and beamed a happy smile. "But yeah, you're already doing a lot," Rudy continued on, shaking his head. "And you'll be running the kingdom eventually too. It's not that I don't think you can—I know you can. I'd just rather someone else be the face for this. At least have somesemblance of it being a private company and not a direct arm of the kingdom."
"Then I suggest Sylphie, or Zenith. Sylphie would love to help out, especially if it helps the family. Zenith has been… bored and listless since we laid out your father's indiscretions for her. I think that having them work on it together, and perhaps involve Hilda as well, would take care of those things."
Rudy turned to her and raised an eyebrow. "What do you think?"
Ariel smiled and nodded. "I think it's a good idea. Mother has been feeling depressed since then. I think she's angry with me."
"She is," Rudy confirmed. "It's not your fault. You're in a bad position here and she knows it. Zenith resents it not, and may hold a grudge for a while, but I give it until you start popping out her grandchildren before she gets over it."
"Such a way with words," the blonde grumbled, rolling her eyes.
"You knew what you were marrying into."
"Hah. I did." Looking back to Sprite, she nodded. "Would you let Sylphie know?"
"Mm!"
Ariel watched the spirit disappear, but knew she was still hanging around. Always around. Shifting her attention back to her husband, she asked, "When will you be getting the printing presses and canning facilities running again?"
Rudy hummed quietly, considering it. "I want to redesign a bunch of stuff. There are several improvements I can make to the whole thing now. I've also got some ideas for other stuff. Smelting, forging, and a full industrial uplift. We'll just be skipping some steps. Mostly everything to do with conventional fuel sources and making a mess of the country digging up resources."
"Are you going to keep magic out of the process still?"
"Yes and no. Magic to fuel various machines, now that I've got a solar power to mana formula worked out. But other than the power source, they'll all be mechanical. They still serve the same purpose—giving normal people who don't know magic a job performing a useful service. What're you thinking?"
"Well," Ariel considered for a moment. "I wanted to pay to do some transcription and new printed runs of books. I'd also like to build a library within Laputa."
"I'll never get over what that means in Spanish."
Ariel blinked. "It wasn't just something Miyazaki made up?"
Rudy snorted quietly. "No. I forget who wrote the original book. Pretty sure it translates to 'the whore.'"
Ariel turned and stared into Rudy's eyes, amusement pulling his lips upwards into a grin. "And you let me agree to name it that?!"
"And now, you too share this cursed knowledge. You're welcome. I figure the others will get a kick out of it when we explain."
"Arrg! You insufferable ass~!" Ariel pitched a little fit, pounding at his chest with her fists.
Rudy laughed and caught her wrists, pulling her down flush against his body, before capturing Ariel's lips. In a few seconds, he had stood, forced her over the side of the chair, flipped her skirt up, and thrust into her wet, needy cunt—somehow knowing exactly what she needed at the moment.
I could get used to this.
"Mmm, that's nice," Ariel sighed as Sylphie rubbed her back and used some medical technique to ease the pains of her pregnancy. Strained and tight muscles loosened and Ariel was left feeling like she was floating in a warm haze.
"You shouldn't work so hard," the other girl chastised.
Ariel snorted, turning to eye Sylphie skeptically. "You work harder than I do, I think."
"Yes, and I take care of myself every day!" Sylphie glared back. "You would forget to eat if someone didn't make you."
The blonde winced, knowing she was guilty as charged. "Yes, I suppose so."
The bathroom door opened and Roxy entered, along with Lilia, who closed the door behind them. The pair quickly undressed and scrubbed off, before slipping into the bath. Looking at the two, Ariel chuckled quietly. Another weekly meeting of the wives, another week closer to watching Lilia and Roxy pop. Though Sylphie and I aren't far behind, she mused.
They were joined by a hologram of Eris sitting in her own bath aboard her namesake ship. Looking over the four of them, Eris huffed and sank a bit lower in the water, looking away with an annoyed look.
"You wouldn't be jealous if you had stayed," Roxy pointed out, addressing Eris's annoyance immediately.
"Tch. I know," the redhead grumbled.
"Hehe. It's your own fault," Sylphie teased.
Eris glared. "Next time I visit…" she threatened.
"My ears again?" Sylphie giggled, making the ears in question twitch and drawing Eris's eyes. "Just remember, I can get my own back."
Lilia cleared her throat. "Girls," she said, drawing their attention. "Business first?"
"We're just having fun," Eris sent the older redhead a surly look. "Fine! I'll go first! We met the Sword God and he's agreed to take me on as one of his students. Also met the Water God and her student. Rudeus should come see them. Sylphie, you too."
"Me?" Sylphie asked, pointing to herself.
Eris grinned and nodded. "You've worked out how to heal old age, right?"
Sylphie nodded, before cutting a look at Roxy. Roxy's blue eyes met Sylphie's red and she smiled. "We've had this discussion before. Elder Rokkus lived a full life and he died happy, after seeing his family and our tribe were safe and would all live full, happy, healthy lives. He had no regrets. It isn't your fault. Spells normally take years, if not generations to develop. That you've figured out a cure for old age, one of the most sought after healing magics of all time in only a few short years is nothing less than a miracle."
Sylphie sighed and nodded, and Ariel shifted to pull the smaller girl into her lap, wrapping her up in a hug. "Don't be so hard on yourself."
"Alright," Sylphie murmured, before looking to Eris. "What did you have in mind?"
"Oh, just… a little of our husband's special brand of bullshit."
Roxy sighed, palming her face. "The kind he reserves for you?"
"Yep!"
The women exchanged looks before Ariel asked, "And who are we going to need to send condolences to?"
"Hehehe~!" Eris giggled. "Isolte Cruel. The Water God's granddaughter."
Once more, everyone exchanged a look. It was Lilia who chuckled and asked, "And are you setting her up for something more than a simple defeat?"
"Maybe…" Eris shrugged. "I mean, Roxy's got those Migurd she's training. Sylphie's got Aisha and Norn. I figured I wanted someone of my own, too. Isolte Cruel and Nina Farion are both good choices. Nina's the Sword God's daughter, by the way. I figure, we introduce them to Rudeus and just… let nature take its course."
Ariel laughed. "By which, you mean let our husband be his usual self and watch the fireworks."
"Yeah, pretty much," Eris confirmed.
"I'm not seeing how my magic is needed," Sylphie pointed out.
"Right! So, Isolte's grandmother. The Water God. I want to give her the choice. Offer it in exchange for getting Rudeus a teacher. Isolte is strong and sexy, but she's got a chip on her shoulder."
"Hmm," Roxy hummed, her lips curving into a smile. "Now, who does that remind me of?"
Eris sighed, then nodded. "Yeah, exactly. Takes one to know one. Which is part of why I want Rudeus to come up."
"The other part being, you want to see master Rudy break her like he broke you."
"Exactly!" Eris nodded, grinning. "It's gonna be awesome, to see someone else on the other end of the tsundere taming this time."
Lilia raised an eyebrow, casting a glance around the bathroom at the unfamiliar words. Quietly, she asked, "If that is all from Eris…?"
"Yeah, that's all I got. Need Rudeus and Sylphie to come up and take care of some stuff, then you can both head back home. Shouldn't take more than a couple days."
"I'll let master Rudy know," Lilia agreed. "I have a request, if you don't mind. More of a question, really."
"Go ahead," Ariel nodded, encouraging her former maid/bodyguard. Would that I had suspected that one day, I would call her my fellow wife… Well, I suppose it's a good thing that she was let go after being crippled, if only because she ended up in Rudy's life.
Lilia's green eyes looked over the group, studying them intently for several moments, before she finally asked, "Am I of equal standing with the rest of you, as master Rudeus's wife?"
"What?" Roxy raised an eyebrow. "Lilia, of course you are."
"Yes! You're just as much of a wife as the rest of us," Sylphie reassured her, moving off of Ariel's lap and over to Lilia's side, pulling the maid into a hug. "Why would you ask that, Lilia?"
"You all share a secret I am not privy to, and it revolves around the language master Rudy taught Aisha and Norn."
Silence fell over the room and Ariel winced. Roxy sighed and began, "It's not that we're keeping a secret from you, specifically. It's secret from everyone. You see—"
"Don't do it," Eris interrupted, silencing Roxy. "Remember the last time."
"She has a right to know," Sylphie countered.
Eris nodded. "And it's not our secret to tell. We're not doing it to be mean, we're keeping it secret because Rudeus asked us to keep it secret. If she wants to know, she should ask him."
"There's no reason we can't tell her now. If Rudy gets angry… I'll take responsibility," Roxy tried.
Eris glared. "Sprite, shut her up."
Roxy's eyes went wide. "You can't just—"
The spirit in question appeared in the middle of the bath, silencing them all. She looked torn and more than a little upset. "Eris, I understand why you asked what you did. And I agree that it's master's choice to tell, not Roxy's. But… please don't try to turn me against one of you. Don't put me in that position. Please."
Eris winced. "Yeah, you're right. Sorry, Sprite. I overreacted." Looking to Roxy, Eris nodded. "Sorry, Roxy. This… not being there… I can't just come across the tub and shut you up myself. I shouldn't have done that."
Roxy sent the redhead an unamused look. "I think we need to have a little discussion on whether any of us has the right to enforce our will on the others by force or magic, Eris. Jokes, play, and sparring aside, no."
"Then just how am I supposed to keep you from doing something stupid, huh?! You've already done this once and Rudeus was upset! How do you think he's going to feel if it's you doing it again?! I'd rather you be angry with me than him be angry with all of us, or you for breaking his trust!"
"Perhaps use your words and not your fists?"
"Roxy! Eris! Please stop," Sylphie interrupted. Taking a breath when she saw they had listened, she turned to Eris. "We understand, and we're happy and grateful that you're worried for us. But Roxy's right, one of us can't just unilaterally have her way and force everyone else to go along if they disagree. We also can't go running to Rudy any time we have a disagreement. We have to be able to settle them between ourselves. Peacefully! Because no one wants to hurt the others and make them feel like their thoughts and feelings don't matter."
Eris sighed, running a hand over her face. "You know I'm not good at this 'talking' crap."
"We know, and we love you anyway," Sylphie beamed a smile at the redhead. Turning to Roxy, she continued, "Eris is right too. You told us when you shouldn't have. Rudy wasn't too mad that time, but doing it again would be making a habit of it. I don't think he'd immediately see it as the kind of problem that would damage our marriage, but it is the kind of thing that puts the idea in someone's head, you know? 'If they did it twice already, then I probably shouldn't expect anything I tell them in confidence to stay that way.' And I know you don't want that."
Roxy shook her head. "No, I don't. And I know she means well—"
"Up, up, up! I'm not done!" Sylphie wagged her finger and Roxy chuckled, sinking back in the bath a bit. "Roxy, Eris isn't Paul. She's a muscle head," Eris snorted, "but she's our muscle head. She isn't going to just have her way just because she can, because she thinks she knows best when really, she doesn't know anything. I know you just wanted to stop that sort of thing before it ever started, but… I think it's not something we have to worry about from each other, because we've all seen what happens when you do that."
Sighing, Roxy nodded. Looking to Eris, she said, "Sorry. I should have had more faith in you. You worded it poorly and it reminded me of, well…"
"Mm," Eris nodded. "Yeah. It's okay. I get it. But you know I wouldn't actually—"
"I know," Roxy agreed.
"Good! I'd say kiss and make up, but we can do that later," Sylphie beamed a smile, before turning her attention to Sprite. "And you! Come here," she launched herself at the spirit, who giggled as Sylphie swept her up into a hug and pulled her into her lap, before running her hand through Sprite's hair. "We're sorry. Forgive us?"
"There's nothing to forgive," the spirit shook her head.
Watching the others, Ariel cast a glance at Lilia and nodded. "Well, I'm glad that's settled. This is a good time to point out that we could use a leader, or at least an arbitrator. Some sort of official procedure for airing grievances and resolving disputes between us, so that no one is left feeling singled out or like they're being treated unfairly."
"Yeah, and who do you suggest, Ms. Queen?" Eris cocked one eyebrow in amusement.
"Yes, it does seem awfully convenient a time to make the suggestion," Roxy sniped, but the way she fought down a smile told Ariel she was joking.
"Oh, that's easy. I nominate Sylphie," Ariel gestured at the white haired girl. "Sprite doesn't want the job and, until she's a wife, she shouldn't have it anyway."
"'Until?'" Lilia echoed.
Ariel raised an eyebrow at the redhead's question. "Of all of us, you've known him the longest, and you think he won't?"
Lilia paused, before nodding. "I concede the point."
"I don't want the job!" Sylphie shook her head.
"You're the best one for it," Eris shrugged. "None of us can stay mad at you, and we know you want what's best for everyone. I agree with Ariel."
Roxy sighed, sending her former student a fond look. "Agreed. She has the best temperament for it. However, I don't believe that we should just turn everything over to Sylphie alone. What if it's an issue that we all feel strongly about, and all have different opinions on?"
"We can burn that bridge when we get to it," Eris grinned.
"Cross. You cross the bridge, Eris," Ariel pinched the bridge of her nose.
"Sure. And then burn it."
"This is Rudy's fault, I just know it," the blonde sighed, earning giggles from the others. "Right. The other thing. Sylphie was right. Lilia deserves to know. And it's not fair that we're keeping it from her. She could go to Rudy, but we shouldn't bother him for every little thing. And I agree with Eris. It's not your secret to tell. However…" she swept her blue eyes across everyone else, "it's my secret too. Does anyone have any objections?"
Eris looked annoyed. "Sounds like cheating to get around it. He's gonna say you should have talked to him."
Ariel winced and nodded. "Yes. However, a relationship is give and take. We all have the right to make decisions for ourselves—it's just best to communicate these things and not, as Sylphie said, act unilaterally. So, Lilia, what do you think? I can tell you now, or…"
The maid shook her head. "No, thank you. This sounds like it's not a small thing. I would feel more comfortable if you asked master Rudeus."
"Well, there you have it," Ariel nodded. "We'll ask Rudy. In the meantime… Things are starting to settle down on my end, so I should have more free time to spend with all of you soon."
"Yay~!" Sylphie cheered, clapping. "I also have news!" Turning to Lilia, she said, "You're due next week. Roxy should be within the month."
Ariel watched the looks of anticipation cross the other two women's faces, while Eris pouted, before taking on a serious look. "I'll make sure Gal knows that me and Ghislaine are coming back for the births."
Talk descended into the topic of babies and preparation for them from there and Ariel sighed and leaned back in her seat.
Politics. I can't fully escape it, even here. Ugh. Rudy~, bend me over and take my mind off of it~!Seigyou Tensei - Legitimately Employed Reincarnation

Roxy Interlude.
Labyrinth City Rapan.
A small smile pulled at Roxy's lips as they walked together through the labyrinth the city was named for. This was almost everything she had dreamed of, when she first set out from home. Going through a dungeon with a competent party, killing monsters and enjoying the camaraderie and companionship that came with a group fighting together.
Almost, but not quite. After all, in those girlish fantasies she would have fallen into danger, isolated from her party, and a handsome man would come and rescue her and they would fall in love at first sight then go on to start a family together.
The reality was so much better than fantasy.
She had gotten very lucky, when she answered the request for a magic instructor at the request of a local knight in the nearby Buena Village when she passed through Roa. She didn't know it at the time, but she found her future husband that day she met the little boy that was to be her student. An infuriating, precocious brat entirely too good with magic and too sure of himself—who turned out to be an infuriating ass of a man only sometimes, and more like dealing with a hobbit than a child. The man who had seen the harm he had unintentionally done her and had worked to build her up, because he was kind and wanted to help those around him.
Roxy acknowledged that she had been foolish and impatient to give in to her wanderlust, when she left Buena. She should have stayed, instead of moving on and going to Shirone. Instead of enduring a couple of years of being sexually harassed by Pax Shirone, she could have instead spent her days in a loving home, surrounded by friends and family, teaching Rudy and Sylphie, then later Norn and Aisha. It was a choice she deeply regretted, even if in the end it had forced her to realize just how much she would miss what she then began to consider as home and family.
Of course, there were other considerations. If she had stayed, Rudy might have gone on to teach Eris, or he might not have—and they would have missed out on meeting the energetic, earnest young woman. Sylphie might or might not have ended up meeting Ariel and they might have missed out on that connection, to another reincarnation and princess—not to mention that Ariel was actually a good person and Roxy was happy to call her a friend. Eris, Ariel, Ghislaine, Phillip, Sauros, Hilda, Therese, Kishirika, Elinalise, and more—there were so many things that could have gone different, people they might not have in their lives from that one decision, that while Roxy did regret it, she couldn't say she disliked the end result.
Then the teleport disaster struck and Roxy got her adventure. A mission to track down and gather up Rudy's family and reunite everyone. Lots of travel, riding along in the truck Rudy sent for them, taking jobs here and there, teaching Aisha, meeting new friends in the form of Tallhand and Elinalise, and finally the reunion she had hoped for. Even if it was a little… outside of her expectations. She didn't mind too much.
And now here she was. Together with her fiance Rudy, his little sister, his aunt who was a knight of the the Holy Order of the Temple of Milis, their charge the Maiden of Milishion, Rudy's summoned spirit, and the legendary Demon Empress Kishirika. A ridiculously overpowered party, walking through the labyrinth dungeon like they owned the place—like they were just out on a stroll. It was as absurd as it was hilarious.
I wouldn't trade reality for that childish dream for anything in the world.
Rudy's hand around her squeezed her a bit tighter as he read her thoughts—actually read her thoughts, because he had given her one of the things she had craved since she first realized she was different. He had fixed what was broken with her—the Migurd who couldn't communicate with her own people, who didn't share the connection they all shared—even if he didn't consider her broken. Feelinghis love for her, adoration, respect—the confidence, pride, and sexual hunger he felt for her when she took the lead and demonstrated how much she had grown in their time apart… It did things for her. It made Roxy feel special. Sexy in a way only Rudy had ever made her feel. Confident in herself as a woman and a mage.
Of course, with the enchantment allowing them to share thoughts and feelings, Rudy felt all of that and his attention and desire for her only grew—which increased her own, and so on as their desires and feelings grew unchecked. Is this what I've been missing all these years?
She felt Rudy's mental presence wrap around her own, filling her with love, comfort, and desire all wrapped together. It was an intoxicating feeling, and nearly overwhelming in its intensity.
Ahead of them, Aisha flew through the cave, killing enemies in a display for her brother, to show him just how much she knew and how good she was. No two enemies died the same way, unless they were clustered up in groups. A stone sword cleanly cut the head off of one, stone spikes shot from the ground to blast through another, a compressed ball of water blasted another into a shower of gore, a fireball tore apart one group, a bolt of lightning electrocuted another, the air chilled and enemies froze solid before being blasted apart with more sword strikes. On, and on the girl went, determined to prove that she was capable.
It wasn't hard at all to see that Aisha loved her big brother, outside of the typical love of one sibling for another. The little redhead had a crush on him, and had since she and the others had had a chance to set her straight and she got some time to actually talk to him on their journey—uninterrupted and without the threat of their father hanging over them, to try to keep them apart, and then later after the incident when they met up with Paul in person. It was cute, really. The little redhead was going to be trouble later on down the line, but Roxy was pretty sure it would at least be entertaining.
That's another possibility, she mused, as her mind turned to another 'what if' scenario. If she had stayed, would Paul and Laws have decided that Rudy was some kind of danger to Sylphie? What if the three of them had set out together? Perhaps they would have all ended up in Roa together with Eris. Or perhaps not.
"Alright, I think it's time we took a break," Rudy called to the others with a grin, directing them over to the wall nearest the stairs leading down, before pulling off his pack and opening it. "Aisha, if you'd make us a temporary shelter, I packed lunch for everyone."
"Right!" the little redhead nodded, and the ground and walls around them rumbled and shifted, stone flowing out and forming a small room for them.
Rudy unpacked sandwiches and handed them out, before creating water and cups for them. Roxy herself made a table and chairs, while they all sat down and accepted their lunch. Looking around the table with a smile, he said, "Good work so far, everyone. Aisha, that was great. However, from what I've heard, the difficulty curve goes up on the next floor and every successive floor, so no more trying to take things out alone. Let's proceed with caution from here on. We'll take a more traditional party layout. Therese in front, Kishirika, Aisha, and Roxy next, then I'll bring up the rear."
"I won't let you down, Rudeus," Therese smiled at her nephew.
Kishirika hummed as her eyes spun in her head and settled on two different irises. "Looking ahead, the monsters get a lot tougher and there are more of them. This is going to be fun. There are a few off by themselves. Rudy, I want a chance to fight some of them solo. I need to knock the rust off."
"Sure," he agreed easily.
They chatted a bit more as they ate. As soon as Roxy finished her meal, Rudy stood and stretched, before offering her a hand. Roxy accepted and he pulled her to her feet. Turing a grin on the others, he said, "We'll be back in a bit. Going to take a walk."
Kishirika snorted and Roxy blushed, but a happy smile pulled her lips up. "Uh huh. A 'walk.'"
Rudy shrugged. "Alright. I'm going to go make love to my fiancee. That better?"
"Yes," Kishirika nodded.
Therese giggled while Aisha rolled her eyes. "Have fun, you two," the blonde grinned, waving at them as they left the little safe room.
They didn't go far, as Rudy walked a few yards away then built a second small room for them. A light spell floated above them and, in a flash of light, he summoned a bed from her namesake ship. Roxy smiled as he turned to her, their feelings for each other once more getting all tangled up in a confusing, arousing mess that made her heart race.
Rudy swept her up into a hug and their lips met. His hands roamed over her body, squeezing and rubbing here and there, before settling on her ass and giving the firm muscle a good squeeze. Roxy mewled into her fiance's lips, panting softly as the arousal became too much. "Rudy, don't tease me. I need you," Roxy whispered against his lips.
"Yeah?" he asked back, just as intimately, a certain smug confidence in his voice that irritated and aroused her. "Is there something you want?"
Roxy's blue eyed gaze met his green. "A child. You promised, remember?"
Rudy's lips spread into a wide grin and his thoughts and feelings towards her became possessive, hungry, and for a moment Roxy wondered if maybe she had made a mistake in setting him off… And then it was entirely too late to do anything about it as he began working at getting her clothes off. Roxy helped, then removed his own, before he picked her up and carried her to the bed.
Roxy was already wet and ready to go, and had been almost since they started, so her pleasure when he spread her legs and immediately dove into her bare pussy with his mouth, tongue, and fingers came with a side of frustration that he hadn't just pushed her down and speared her with his cock. Given the amusement Rudy felt, that had been his intent all along—to tease and frustrate her until either she begged… or worse, she came. Roxy had no sexual stamina to speak of, so after one orgasm, she was done for a while. She was utterly defeated and could barely move, after—and Rudy took delight in putting her in that state, then making her come over and over again, forcing her to endure hours of pleasurable torture.
She had seen that wasn't the case with the others, so she had quietly confided to them in private about her insecurity over her staying power. Pretty much everyone said it was normal. They also suggested she train to be able to last longer and recover faster—which really just meant having lots more sex. That didn't help her now, however. But the other advice they had given her just might. If she couldn't last long and didn't want to endure the humiliation of being driven out of her mind, then the best thing to do was control the pace.
"Rudy," Roxy whimpered as his tongue delved into her. With a force of will, she managed to scrape enough concentration together to flip them over using magic.
"Eh?" Rudy asked, but Roxy was already moving, scrambling down and throwing her leg over him. He laughed, reaching up and taking hold of her hips, squeezing in a way that made her eyes flutter and her body clench and tighten, her nether lips growing even wetter. "If you wanted to be on top, you could've just said so."
Taking his cock in hand, Roxy glared down at him as she slowly eased herself down, taking him in with a sigh. "You wouldn't have let me."
"No," he grinned, "but it would have been fun to make you beg for it."
"You're awful," she whimpered as she settled into his lap, his cock filling her completely and then some, as she felt him knocking at the entrance to her womb.
"You love it."
"I do," Roxy huffed a little sigh as she slowly started moving her hips back and forth as he fell into her rhythm easily, meeting her every movement and making her eyes roll in her head as he seemed to hit every one of her most sensitive spots just right—as though he was made just for her. She had known what she was getting into for years now, and even as sometimes frustrating as Rudy could be, he was still the man she loved—the first man to want her, as a woman. Not in spite of being a demon—that didn't matter to him. If anything, it was actually more of a turn-on.
Reading her mind, he pulled her down and kissed her forehead, one hand squeezing her hip and the other reaching up to run through her blue locks, pulling her hair around and bringing it to his lips to kiss. Roxy's heart fluttered at the gesture, then even more at the feelings of love, acceptance, and desire pouring into her.
"I've wanted you since the first moment I saw you," Rudy said, kissing her lips and making Roxy's heart beat faster.
Blushing, Roxy wanted to look away, but forced herself not to. To look into the eyes of the man who loved her and acknowledge him and his feelings for her, and hers for him. "If you say things like that… I won't be able to control myself."
As expected, that just made him want to do it more. "Good. You're beautiful, Roxy—one of the most beautiful women I know. I'm glad you became my teacher. I think that was probably the best day of my life, because it made everything else possible. I love you, and I want you to be my wife. We'll make beautiful babies together."
Roxy gasped quietly, sucking in a breath as she leaned down and kissed the man she loved—his words, his feelings, and their lovemaking all coming together to see her undone. She mewled into Rudy's lips as her body shuddered in bliss, little tears pricking at the corners of her eyes as everything became too much—feeling loved, happy, content, and wanting more than anything to be the mother for her soon-to-be husband's children.
Rudy held her as she slowly came down, his hands rubbing her back and stroking her hair, as he slowly continued his thrusting up into her, despite her inability to get her body to move. She was done. Out of mana. Utterly defeated, with just a few words and feelings. And it was an amazingfeeling.
Of course, Rudy being who he was, he couldn't just let her bask in his warmth for more than a few minutes, before he was rolling them over. He folded her legs up against his chest and leaned down, folding her in half as he kissed her and began to stroke her deeply. His hands founds hers and Roxy held on for dear life as Rudy plowed away at her tight, wet heat, his member a hot, steely bar inside her forcing her body to yield to him. Their sex grew loud, filling the little room with the sound of their lovemaking—wet slapping of flesh on flesh, the squelching of him driving into her and her body leaking a steady flow of her arousal, her moans and cries and Rudy's quiet exhalations and grunts.
She came undone again, seeing stars as her mind went blank with pleasure, a particularly loud lewd moan escaping her lips as she held onto Rudy. "Aaahn~!"
Rudy kissed her forehead, lips, ears, and neck as he slowed his pace a bit but never stopped stroking her with his manhood, one of his hands letting go of her to pet her head gently. She both loved and disliked how it made her feel. She felt like a little girl again as Rudy comforted her, whispering sweet nothings into her ear—safe, warm, happy, and loved. Like she could just let go and let him take care of everything, and he would. But Roxy was a grown woman, she wasn't supposed to feel like that—wasn't supposed to be reduced to feeling like a child with her lover, let alone enjoy it. It made her feel weak and vulnerable. But there was Rudy again, wrapping her mind up in a hug and filling her with his affection and love, and Roxy couldn't bring herself to truly hate it.
He took a moment to wipe the tears from her eyes, their foreheads pressed together as they shared this moment of intimacy and love. It felt so good it hurt, just a little.
Then, just when she was feeling sure of herself again, if still entirely defeated, Rudy's lips pulled into a mischievous leer. Roxy's eyes went wide. "Rudy, Rudy no!"
"Rudy yes!"
"I won't be able to walk after this~!" Roxy protested, shaking her head and sending her blue hair flying.
"Then I'll carry you," Rudy promised, and with it came his thoughts, saying so much more. If she couldn't walk, he would carry her. If she fell, he would catch her. He would be there, loving and supporting her, for the rest of their lives. Correction, the rest of their very long lives, because the intent was in there that it was to be forever in the literal sense.
Rudy eased back and pulled out, drawing a whimper from her at the loss, feeling suddenly empty and not liking it at all. Then, he rolled her over onto her stomach. Taking hold of Roxy's hips, Rudy lifted her rear into the air, putting her on her knees. His hands stroked her lower back and ass, and a moment later, his thick length filled her again. Then she felt it—his magic inside her, feeling her body out. She knew what was coming, and Roxy both dreaded it and shook in excitement at the thought of it.
She felt his magic stir inside her pussy, drawing her own lubricant to his cock and forming hard little bumps, ridges, knobs, and other shapes along his length—every last one of them, she knew, made to scrape and rub her insides in ways a normal cock just couldn't, getting into her every fold, nook, and cranny and hitting all of her weak points at once. Another bead of her lubricant gathered on her clit, followed by a pair of cups made of water forming over her nipples.
"No~," Roxy whimpered as it began.
Slowly, the cups on her nipples squeezed, making suction that tugged at the hard little nubs. Then, little bumps formed and began to stroke, slide, press, and pinch over them. Roxy panted, her body shivering harder as dread and excitement built. She wanted it—she wanted it so bad, but she was afraid of losing control. She didn't like how she got in that state—utterly shameful in ways that reminded her entirely too much of Elinalise. But there was Rudy again in her mind, reassuring her that he loved her, and he wanted to see all of her—including the most lewd, shameful, depraved, cock-addled side of her that wanted nothing more than to come, and come, and come, and come until she stopped thinking entirely and all her smarts dribbled out of her cunt. It was simultaneously the most frightening and most freeing thing she had ever felt.
And Rudy was so good at making that happen…
He slowly pulled back and all of those watery protrusions on his cock scraped and rubbed her in exactly the right ways, and Roxy's eyes crossed as a groan escaped her lips. She tried to bury her face in the pillow, but Rudy grabbed her braid and used it to gently but firmly pull her head back up, and back a bit more until her back started to bow and her head ached from her hair being pulled… but that pain was delicious and made her cunt clench around him tightly, more hot, thick, slimy lubricant leaking out of her as he really got her going. She didn't have the strength in her arms to hold herself up, so much of her weight was on her hair now, and when he pulled on it to pull her body back into him as he thrust forward, Roxy's eyes rolled wildly in her head and she let out more lewd sounds.
"Ungh~! Hnng!"
"That's it, Roxy. Just a little more," Rudy promised.
The bead on her clit started to suck and rub at her as it began to spin. Everything became too much. His cock spearing her depths, the nubs scraping and rubbing her insides, the cups abusing her nipples, the bead doing the same to her clit. And then there was Rudy pushing his thoughts and feelings into her again, wrapping her up in him as he loved her.
Roxy howled, wailing as she came, a flood of liquid dribbling from her cunt as she squirted around his cock, losing complete control of herself. Her body went taut as she gripped the sheets, feeling her face turn red from the force of it. Then, just when she thought it would end… Rudy was there, his thoughts and feelings as clear as words, demanding she get pregnant as he came inside her, his cock throbbing inside her depths and filling her with his hot, thick seed. Her body responded as she came again, clenching and sucking at him, drawing more and more sperm from the man she loved, wanting nothing more than to be bred in this moment.
Rudy let go of her hair and grabbed her hips, grinding the head of his cock against her cervix as her body milked him dry. Roxy collapsed face first into the pillow, entirely spent. She felt it a moment later, more water magic inside her, then that delicious, warmth that was his sperm moved deeper, filling her womb directly. His hands released her hips and he stroked her back. A small, tired but satisfied smile pulled Roxy's at lips as she caught her breath.
A bit of rearranging got them laying on their sides, Rudy still plugging her up as he spooned her. His lips kissed the back of her neck as he held her tightly, his right hand resting over her lower belly, and Roxy felt content. Truly and deeply content and happy, more fulfilled than she'd ever felt before.
They rested there in silence, enjoying the feel of each other. Not that they needed words. Roxy reveled in her newfound ability to use her people's natural talent, and most especially with Rudy.
Rokari: Myyyy Rooooxyyy~!
It was at that moment that Roxy was reminded that her ship was still in mental range, and while they had been ignoring the chatter on 'Migurd radio' as Rudy called it, they had accidentally broadcast all of that and filled the channel with it. And now that she could hear them again, her mother was… filling her head with feelings of love, pride, and all sorts of questions as to whether she wanted a boy or a girl, how many children she wanted, and so on. There was also a lot of amusement from the others, a whole lot of exasperation from her father, and more than a little jealousy and interest from women around her age that Roxy knew were single.
Rudy: Not dealing with you right now. Quiet.
He did something, then it was just the two of them, together. He went right back to kissing her neck, before moving on to her ears. Roxy clenched around him. She didn't want another round, but… she didn't not want one either.
Rudy chuckled, before with a reluctant sigh, he began cleaning them up with magic. "We should rejoin the others and finish this dungeon out."
"Mm," Roxy agreed. She did want to finish their adventure together, after all. But this had been a very nice and entirely welcome rest in between floors. "Let's go. We'll practice formations next."
"Sounds good."
And just like that, they were back on the job. They got cleaned up, Sent the bed back to the Roxy, and removed the little room before rejoining the others. As she had expected, Rudy had to support her as Roxy moved on shaky legs.
"Do you think you could've been any louder?" Therese rolled her eyes and Roxy blushed.
Inside, however… she was happy. And proud. That had been her fiance driving her insane, and driving their party members to distraction. It was exactly what she wanted, and it was almost perfect. The only way it could be better is if she could share the moment with Eris and Sylphie, and maybe if Zenith had been here and was forced to listen to her and Rudy go at it the way she and Rudy suffered when Zenith and Paul had been so loud every night.
Thoughts of Zenith briefly made her feel guilty, and she winced. Here she was, enjoying time with her fiancee, indulging in the fantasy adventure she'd dreamed of since before she first left home, and they still hadn't found Zenith and Norn—
Rudy pulled her into a hug against his side and they made their way down the stairs to the next level. He never said anything, but he didn't have to. His thoughts said it all. He was worrying enough about Zenith and Norn for the both of them, so there was no reason Roxy shouldn't enjoy herself—and with Sprite working tirelessly on the search, there wasn't anything more they could do.
But as much as his thoughts wanted to comfort her, they were tainted with his own pain and worry, his anxiety and building anger. Eris had lived through it firsthand and seen their shared love at his worst, but she had never been inside his head. The redhead had done everything she could to help Rudy through the worst of it. Now, she was gone for the moment, running the northern route to their meet-up point. That meant it was Roxy's turn to step up.
She reached out and wrapped him up in a mental hug, the same way he loved doing to her, pouring her feelings for him into their own private link. Filled him with her faith that everything would be alright, her belief in him, and the promise that if the worst came to pass she would be there for him—that they all would. Rudy's thanks and appreciation made her blush… and made her womb tingle.
He brings it out in me, she mused, shaking her head as they entered the next floor and took in the enemies there. But I wouldn't have it any other way.
Kingdom of Asura, Fittoa region, Citadel of Roa.
Roxy's blue eyes cracked open and took in the scene before her, in the dim moonlight streaming in through the windows.
Immediately in front of her, Sylphie's white hair glittered in the light and her long ear twitched and flicked as she snored softly, sleeping peacefully between herself and Rudy. In this light, there was a fey-like quality to the girl—where all of her mixed ancestry came together in a way that perfectly suited her. Her second student was a beauty, and Roxy couldn't help but feel a little jealous and possessive as she squeezed the girl just a little tighter. Sylphie had already begun filling out nicely, her breasts larger than Roxy's own and her hips a little wider—nothing like Eris, but still more than Roxy, who felt flat by comparison. Part of her wanted Sylphie's figure, the other part just wanted Sylphie herself—the beautiful, sweet, loving young girl she and Rudy had helped make into the woman she was.
Then, there was Rudy, on the other side of Sylphie, holding the girl to his chest tightly—even as she drooled on him. He was going through a growth spurt and soon, Roxy was sure he would be as tall as his father, if not taller. His lean, muscular body drew her eyes, captivated her and filled her imagination with lewd thoughts. He was even more handsome than the made up man she had wanted to rescue her, once upon a time. Though he had tried to remove the obvious signs, he couldn't hide them all. Physically, Rudy was the best parts of Paul and Zenith both. Paul's height and build, or he would be soon, his dashing rogueish smile, Paul's green eyes, and his hair—even if Rudy had changed the color of it just for Sylphie, she could still see Paul in the style of it as it'd started to get long again. He had Zenith's sharper face, the shape of her eyes, and her smaller nose. If she didn't know the truth, Roxy would say he had inherited Zenith's brains and her nature, but no, that was all Rudy.
Looking at him now, he looked so relaxed compared to just a few weeks ago. Finding Zenith and Norn had taken that burden off of him and now, Rudy had softened. He clung tightly to them, showing them affection and, without ever saying it, apologizing for how he had been when they thought his family had been lost. The silly man would never accept that none of them wanted an apology, that they understood the stress everyone had been under at the time, but if it made him feel better they let him do it—they just made sure to show him the same affection in return.
Behind Rudy, Eris spooned their husband, holding on tightly to him and with Sylphie's hand clenched in her own, her face buried in Rudy's back as she slept silently and deeply. Where Sylphie's beauty was pure and delicate, Eris's was fierce and wild. The girl looked like a miniature Ghislaine, if Roxy was being honest… which wasn't a bad thing as far as anyone was concerned. She was muscular without being too much, her breasts were already larger than Sylphie's, and her hips had begun to flare and widen into 'child bearing' hips. Her wild red hair drew the eye and her face looked perpetually angry, even when she wasn't. It was cute, really—especially when she was happy and still looked so angry. Rudy called it 'resting bitch face,' and Eris had only laughed and agreed, saying she got it from her mother—and that wasn't the only thing she had gotten from Hilda. The whole thing put together, along with the sometimes bratty and brash attitude, made Roxy want to push Eris down and make her squeal. Watching Rudy degrade the redhead on their wedding night had arousedsomething within Roxy and she kind of wanted to try it herself, later.
They were a family now. Her family. All four of them together, soon to be five. Really, already five and soon to be six, seeing as even if she isn't married to us, Lilia might as well be. Although… hmm. That's an idea. I'll ask the others in the morning. We can bring Lilia into the family officially as a wife—I think they'd like that.
She watched over them for a while longer, before sleepily closing her eyes and pressing her lips against Sylphie's back, intending to go back to sleep. Sylphie yawned and rolled over, her arms pulling Roxy into a hug as Sylphie's lips sought out her own. Those red eyes opened and Sylphie smiled a lazy, hungry smile as she pushed Roxy over onto her back, her hands beginning to roam the Migurd woman.
"I'll help you get back to sleep, Roxy," Sylphie promised, but that smile… that smile promised that Sylphie would be enjoying teasing her just as much as their husband did. Roxy found that at the moment, she wasn't opposed to the idea at all.
"I love you," Roxy whispered, smiling up at the girl as her heart swelled. She had her family back together under one roof and they were officially married now.
"Shh," Sylphie shushed, hugging her. "We love you too."
Now it's perfect.
