"Can I know why you brought me here?" the goddess demanded. Her voice produced a small echo in the dark alley. "You brute."
"I just wanted us to make up," I answered. "That's all."
I leaned forward, urgently seeking her mouth. But she stopped me, placing one of her delicate hands over my lips, sealing them completely.
Her blue eyes darted to the side, nervously scanning the surroundings.
"I already told you. I don't want people to see me doing this kind of thing. I'm a goddess. I have… a reputation to maintain."
"But the only ones here are you and me."
Aqua bit her lip.
"Even so… it's not right," she declared.
The Goddess of Water seemed to be having an internal debate with herself. Her cheeks were flushed and she kept fidgeting with the hem of her blue vest.
"Let me see if I understand correctly. You're embarrassed to do it in an alley, but you have no problem doing it at the guild and howling like an insatiable beast of pleasure knowing full well that the place is full of adventurers downstairs? Wow, Aqua, your goddess principles are pretty weird."
"Hey! Are you questioning my divine status as a goddess, you shitty hikikomori?"
"Yes. That's exactly what I'm doing. And I'd better not even start again with the lust potion."
Aqua grew flustered. Her adorable cheeks flushed even redder as her head spun frantically from side to side, making sure no one had heard what I'd just said.
"H-Hey, how long are you going to keep bringing that up?"
"Nothing. I'm just saying that at that moment you didn't seem to care much about your divine status," I began teasingly. "Ah, and the way you kept bouncing! That was when you really showed me your goddess skills, Aqua. With your ass, that is."
At those last words, the archpriest eyes widened like two lanterns. She was stunned.
Then her lips tightened into a grimace that screamed shame and humiliation.
Finally, after two or three seconds of uncomfortable silence (yes, I admit, maybe I'd gone a little overboard with that last comment), as if something inside her partially empty head had shouted "Enough!", her arms flew up around my neck.
"BUAAAAAAAAAAAAH! THAT'S WHY I SAY YOU'RE A PERVERTED HIKIKOMORI!" the blue-haired girl wailed in the middle of an uncontrolled sob.
"Come on, don't be like that," I protested while she shook me violently. "It's just a joke."
"Hmph!"
"Although… you're not going to deny how much fun we had, right?"
"That's…"
Without warning, I slid a hand behind her waist and slowly began lifting the skirt, my fingers slipped under the fabric until they finally closed around the soft, yielding flesh of her left ass cheek.
Aqua's response was immediate — she let out a weak, almost imperceptible moan that quickly disappeared into the darkness of the alley.
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing with that hand?" she whispered.
"I don't know. What does it look like I'm doing?"
I sank my fingers even deeper into her skin.
Ah! Her ass is amazing!
By this point my entire body felt like it was boiling. And the bulge in my pants had grown so much I could've sworn my cock was about to tear a hole through the fabric.
It's incredible that after everything we'd already done my body still wanted more.
"Aqua."
My lips spoke her name without really knowing what to say.
"W-What…?" she asked, embarrassed, placing her hand over mine. As if she wanted to push it away from her ass, but without really trying. She simply left it there.
"Aqua… how do you do it?"
"H-How do I do what?" she demanded. "Are you going to treat me to dinner or are you planning to touch my ass all night?"
Actually, that didn't sound bad at all.
"How do you go through life without panties?"
"EEEEH!"
And then my other hand began snaking around her thin, fragile waist until it found her other ass cheek.
With one tug I lifted her miniskirt completely, and now her naked ass was in my hands for my full enjoyment.
"Not wearing anything under your outfit… it's like your pussy is ready to be fucked at any moment."
All ten of my fingers closed even tighter around her ass, and then I began moving them from side to side.
"Is that why you don't wear them?"
"For your information, Mr. Pervert, what actually happens with my panties is that—"
"You know what? I don't care."
"Huh?"
"That's right, I don't care in the slightest. Aqua, let's just do it."
"No way! I already told you I'm not doing it in a place like this! And let go of my ass already!"
"But I really like your ass," I said shamelessly.
"Oh yeah? Well earlier you seemed pretty enthusiastic about seeing Eris. Maybe you should go touch her ass."
Seeing that Aqua was still stuck on that subject, I couldn't help but let out a little smile.
"Eris? What the hell are you talking about, you horny goddess?"
"Earlier, when we were walking. You clearly said th— AH!"
Whatever Aqua was about to say (probably one of her usual nonsense remarks) got stuck in her throat when my hands grabbed her firmly under her ass and pushed upward, forcing the goddess onto her tiptoes. Her flushed face was now so close I could feel her breath.
"Shhh. That doesn't matter. What matters is that for me the best ass of all belongs to Aqua-sama. Not Eris-sama."
I pressed my lips against hers, stealing a fresh, sweet kiss.
It was a short kiss, but charged with desire. I could taste the texture and moisture of her lips before the water goddess broke the kiss with a delicate movement of her hands.
"You really are an idiot," she said. "What am I going to do with you?"
"Let me fuck you," I suggested. "You can start with that."
"Mmm… Let me think about it… NO."
"Why not?!"
"I'm still a little upset."
"I already told you I'll treat you to dinner."
"Oh? Really? Wouldn't you rather take Eris instead of me?"
"Come on! Stop with that already, will you?"
"Huh? Is that all you're going to say to me?"
"Okay, okay, fine. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry for hurting your hypersensitive goddess feelings."
"Uh-huh. And what else?"
I sighed.
"And… in the hypothetical case that I returned to the afterlife, I'd like to be received by the beautiful Goddess Aqua-sama and no one else. Happy? Are you satisfied now?"
Aqua's lips curved into a mischievous little smile. She was definitely savoring her moment of triumph, the little brat.
"I don't know," she answered, drawing out the words. "How can I know you're being completely sincere? How can I know you prefer me over Eris?"
"Oh, so the goddess wants proof, huh?"
Then my hand took hers and dragged it toward my erection, making her slender fingers feel how hard I was beneath the fabric of my pants.
"See? Only the great Aqua-sama is capable of getting me like this… a single glance from those blue eyes is enough to melt me."
Those eyes locked onto mine, shining with distrust.
"You really are a perverted paladin."
"So…" I adjusted her hand, making sure her fingers could close around my cock. "Are we fucking or not?"
"My, my, you really are desperate," her fingers closed firmly, drawing a gasp from my mouth. "Forcing a goddess to do something so dirty in an alley. You're hopeless, Mr. Paladin. What happened to treating me to dinner?"
I let out a low chuckle.
"The restaurant isn't closing yet. And besides…" I opened the zipper of my pants, my cock springing violently out. "You don't expect me to walk down the street like this, do you?"
Upon confirming how hard and hot I was, Aqua brought a hand to her mouth as if to stifle a mischievous smile.
"Puukusukusu! I suppose not. Well, since I'm a benevolent goddess, I'll take care of your problem. But you'll have to call me Aqua-sama for the rest of the day."
"No problem," I assured her.
I wonder if Aqua realized that the day barely had a couple of hours left. Oh well.
