Chapter 49

"Yesss! One more Level up!" Loki cried out. "Cass, Xulia, Aisha, and now you! That's four for four," she said, slapping my back sharply. A moment later, she slunk close to me, her newly-C-cup breasts now pushing into my bare back in the process, her fingers trailing across my chest. "Hey, did you give Aisha that good-boy magic of yours that makes all the ladies level up faster?"

"No," I told her. "I don't 'give' it, anyway. When a girl sincerely confesses her love to me, it takes effect."

"Must've made you hell on the playground!" Loki said, still obviously in a good mood. "Mm. Does that mean if I sincerely confess my love for you, I also get a boost?"

I mentally considered my powers. "Yeah. Not as big of one, since you don't have a falna. But you'd be a bit healthier and fitter in general, I think."

"What? Are you saying I'm out of shape?" Loki demanded.

"I wasn't saying that, but you sit around all day and do no work," I replied.

"Guh! Even when my children are in love with me, they still say such cruel things!"

"Weren't you complaining that I was being too nice to you earlier, and it was weirding you out?" I responded, smiling along at Loki's antics.

"Oh, and now I have to be consistent, too? It's ridiculous! A ridiculous standard!" She paused, tossling my hair. "More seriously," she said, lounging against my body, pressing her breasts into my back, her hands curling around my bare stomach. "If all I have to do is sincerely confess my love... then I'm screwed! The only thing I love is beautiful chests," she proclaimed, her hands starting to just flagrantly grope me. I just smiled, enjoying the feeling of her hands on my body. "Bah. React! Your love is making you not as fun!"

I reached up for her wrists, taking hold of them in either hand and pulling her hands gingerly away from my chest. Given I was now a Level Three, I could be as gentle as I liked and all her squirming and writhing only managed to rub her tits against my back. "Better?"

"Not if you ruin it by asking!" Loki responded, letting out a huff as she stopped struggling. "Oh, and you got a new Skill. Defense of Shining Joy? You know what that does?"

"Uh..." It had been quite a while since I'd read any Exalted book, given I'd been in this world for months, but my brain eventually provided the meaning. "Oh. It makes me better at dodging."

"Doesn't Duck Fate do that?" Loki asked, her squint audible. She started struggling against my grasp a moment later, as if hoping I'd forgotten about her. I decided to release her hands for a second, as if she'd surprised me and escaped, then grabbed them back to stop her, earning a happy whine from her.

"Duck Fate means I can dodge anything, but it takes a lot of energy each time. Defense of Shining Joy is more like, uh... dodge every attack like it was the first one thrown at you. Duck Fate is good at dealing with higher Level bad guys when they throw a rock at my head, Defense of Shining Joy is good for dealing with a bunch of orcs." I was translating game mechanics into practical terms as best I could.

"I getcha," Loki agreed amicably, attempting to escape my grasp again with a sudden jerk. Once more, I let her do it, enjoying a brief moment of her hands groping my pecs, before I pulled her hands back. "Are you just patronizing me?"

"Why would you ask a question like that, Loki?" I responded. Not in the sense of acting innocent, but in the sense of 'you know the answer, and you're just going to make it less fun for yourself.'

"Bah! It's no fun if you just let me! Even if you are sexy, you have to fight back! Come on! Your virtue as a man is in question!"

"Loki, we've had sex a whole bunch," I told her.

"That's that, and this is this!"

"I can't just make it bother me when my cute goddess gropes my body," I told her.

"You're right, you're right," she said, letting out a long exhalation as she did so. She pulled her hands back, and I let them go. "This is your charm, huh? Just the relentless nice guy act, no matter how annoying the girl is?"

"I mean, having superpowers and a sexy body help more, I think, but the nice guy thing doesn't hurt. It's not an act, either."

"Yeah, yeah," she said, waving me off for a moment - then her hands swooped down to grope my butt. "Aha! Your ass is mine now!" She said, her fingers feeling me up. For a few seconds, her fingers did their best to dig into my muscular, sculpted ass. Then she spoke. "Well? How are you feeling?"

"I don't know what you expect me to do at this point, Loki. I'd be fine letting you grope whatever you want, but you have a lie detector, so you can tell if I pretend to be annoyed."

"Ughhh," Loki said, pulling her hands back from my ass. "Bah. Face me, I'm tired of looking at your back," she said, and I dutifully stood up and turned to face her. She looked up at me, arms crossed in front of her. "Are any of your girls like Lefiya? You know, they don't want me to grope them, but they're too meek to stop me? That's the best kind of girl."

Maybe Haruhime? I just shrugged, though, rather than feeding the rape victim to the serial molester. (I didn't think Loki would actually do that sort of thing to Haruhime - she was playing around, like a kid roughhousing, not trying to hurt anybody.) "Loki, there's more to life than getting in petty fights about whether or not you're allowed to grope your familia members."

"Yeah, but that's the best part of life! Well, there's that, and drinking, and outwitting some dumbass god who thinks they're hot shit, and sneaking a peak on a gal who doesn't expect it..." She was counting them off. "I think that's all the best parts of life."

"Sex with me doesn't make the list?" I teased. She flushed at that, her cheeks suddenly turning red as she peered up at me.

"Sex with you? Nah, nah. It's alright, I guess," she said, in the most thin lie ever spoken. I would have let it go, but she didn't actually follow through. "Alright, you're the best at sex, ever, fine, fine!" She added, waving her hands. "But don't go thinking that'll make me fall in love with you! If you were the best at cooking, or the best at paperwork, or the best at earning sweet, sweet cash, it'd make me like you more, but it wouldn't make me fall in love with you! Alright?!"

"It's alright if you never love me back," I told her.

"Gah! That's insane! That's an OP move, bullshit, I can't believe you pulled it on your own goddess!" She gave my bare chest a push. I let the shove send me back a foot or so. "Nnn..." She looked pouty, her arms crossed as she glared up at me. I took it with ease - I found her behavior cute. "Guh! You... bah! Whatever! I love you too!" She squinted up at me. "Did that count?"

"No," I told her. I didn't have the best idea of what was required for a love confession to work for the purpose of getting 'points'. Perhaps she was expressing an honest feeling, but it wasn't enough.

She let out a sigh of relief. "Whew. I was starting to worry, loverboy," she said, grinning, all the poutiness vanishing in a moment. "Your powers have yet to work on me! But you have made your goddess upset and horny, something that can only be fixed one way." She was already worming her way out of her booty shorts, and I just pulled down my pants. I definitely didn't mind fucking Loki to make her feel better, after all.

* * *

Ryu felt strange, after having seen Drake using that Skill of his... She knew that her old friends were all dead. She knew that. But... it had felt, just for a moment, like they were really back. Like they were there, offering her their support. It felt... nice. She knew that seeing them again didn't mean anything. That it didn't change anything. But now that she had seen them like that... when she wondered how they would feel about her, seeing her now, knowing that she moved on... it felt so obvious that they would be happy for her, just as they had seemed when she'd seen them again.

She was lying in her bed, staring up at the ceiling. She couldn't get to sleep. They were stuck in Rezianal still - the other fomoire were still in the way - but she was more bothered by that distinct memory, this strange, novel feeling of peace getting in the way. At last, she rose from her bed. She should thank Drake for what he had done. She hadn't actually said goodbye to the old Astraea familia, but seeing them again made her feel as if she had. One final, happy goodbye.

She wandered through the quiet, dark halls of the inside of the Astraea familia building with the ease of someone accustomed to handling the Dungeon. She had been a powerful Adventurer, back in the day. As she approached the room Drake was staying, she paused, her ears picking up what was happening inside.

Erza's voice: "Harder, harder! Spank me, Drake!"

Drake's voice: "You're so hot. I love how tight you are, the way your tits bounce with every thrust."

Ryu could feel a heat rush across her face. It was different from how it had been the previous time she'd overheard them. She had just been annoyed at being unable to sleep. Now, she was feeling a very strange form of interest. She quietly shifted out of the middle of the hallway, to hug a wall. She could hear soft breathing in other rooms, but she remained particularly attuned to the sounds coming from Drake and Erza.

Erza seemed to love the sex that the pair had. That much was obvious from the sounds that were coming from them. When she'd ask Drake to do something, he did it promptly, and it seemed quite pleasurable, from the noises that Erza made. Every spanking, every grope - Ryu could catch the sound of it. She fidgeted as she listened. It was strange. She'd never fidgeted like this, when she had heard things like this before. It confused her. She felt like she was doing something bad, by listening in on Erza and Drake, even though she had listened to them when they were camping, and they were saying similar things, and making similar noises, and it had been Drake who had been the one who felt bad for making her listen.

She did find herself imagining what was going on in that room. Particularly what was going on from her friend Erza's perspective. She wondered what Drake looked like when he was naked... she had seen a decent amount of him, so she knew he looked good, but she hadn't seen the thing in between his thighs. She wondered what it looked like. His, specifically. She knew what men's looked like, but she hadn't seen his. Was it big? Syr had said that "You don't want a big guy, Ryu. They never know what they're doing!" Drake sounded like he knew what he was doing... did that mean he wasn't big? She wanted to know if he was or not.

She heard Drake's voice warble, and then he let out a long groan, and she felt the heat in her cheeks intensify greatly. That was the sound he made when he... finished. She'd heard him make that noise before, when she'd been trying to sleep back in camp, but now the sound was... interesting. She fidgeted in place. The strange feelings she was having, they made her want to... she shook her head, taking a step back. She should go back to her room. She could thank Drake tomorrow. He wouldn't mind. He was nice like that.

She had trouble sleeping when she got back to her room, but for an entirely different reason, this time.

* * *

Lena was annoyed. "How come you got to Level up?!" She demanded of Bych. "I could have helped Cassie out too! Why didn't you get me to help!"

"I'm so sorry, Lena," Bych said, bowing her head really low. She was always really polite and humble, which made it hard to stay mad at her. "You weren't around when Drake and I heard the news, and Aisha was," she said.

"Guh! You're right! I was taking a shower... but you could've tried looking for me!"

"I'm truly sorry, joousama," she said, bowing extra low now. She actually started to kowtow, even, pressing her head against the ground! Joousama even meant queen! It was impossible to stay mad at her at this point. "I thought we wouldn't even really be able to help, and only Aisha would! We were just prioritizing getting to Cass as fast as possible."

Lena pouted. Then she sighed. "Fine..." She could be mature! She was going to be a mom soon, she had to be mature. Her hand went to her belly. She wondered if it would be a boy or a girl. She fell onto her back on the bed. "Ahhh! Now I'm behind Drake! Is he going to leave me behind, because he's too strong?"

"No! Drake would never do something like that, joousama," Bych reassured her. "I'm sure if you tell him about your concerns, he'll try to help you Level up in the Dungeon! With me and Drake being at Level Three now, it should be easier for us to find a fight that will help you Level!"

"Well... you better!" Lena said. She rolled around on the bed futilely. "Ahh! I want to Level up with Drake, and have his babies!"

At that point, the door to the bedroom opened, with Noriko stepping inside. "Lena. I have heard your complaining, and would like to help you Level too. I am only Level One, even if I have 999S stats," she continued. "But Drake has made me the leader of his harem. This demonstrates that Level is not everything to Drake, or Cassandra would be the head wife instead."

"That's true, joousama! He loves you more than me, you know?"

"I know, Bych. Shut up so I may speak to Lena." Lena was always really impressed by how Noriko handled Bych! Even though Bych acted super effusive and polite, and was way more powerful than Noriko, Noriko still laid down the law! It made her seem a bit scary to Lena. "Lena. I can make you feel better by performing cunnilingus on you, as I do this when Rei is in a bad mood, and she enjoys it greatly."

"Oh! What's cunning lingus?"

"It is when I lick and suck on your vagina and clitoris with my mouth," Noriko explained.

"Ohhh, that thing that Drake does that feels really good!" Lena said, bouncing on her butt. She thought about it for a few seconds. For some reason, even though she really liked it when Drake did it, she didn't like the idea of Noriko doing it. Just the thought was really unappealing, like sucking on a lemon or throwing herself into a wall. "Thanks, but I only like it when Drake does it!" She explained.

"I see." Noriko paused. "I also have a significant amount of money, and Drake says that it is alright if I occasionally 'splurge,' as long as I do not make a habit of it, because the amount of money that I have is sufficient that 'splurging' by going to an expensive restaurant would only cause me to run out of money if I ate at a two thousand valis meal every day for nine hundred and thirteen years. However this number diminishes significantly if I feed other people."

"Ooo! I do like food! I like it even more now that I'm having Drake's baby, I think it's because I'm eating for me and the baby too! Unless the baby's eating some other way?" Lena wondered. How did the baby eat when it was in her belly? Was her baby starving?! Oh no! She looked down at her belly. Was she a terrible mother?

"I do not think the baby is eating some other way," Noriko said.

"She isn't! Don't worry, joousama," Bych reassured her. "Your baby is totally safe, as long as you eat lots of food and don't get stabbed in your stomach, she'll turn out just fine!"

"Yes." Noriko blinked, then tilted her head. She looked kinda like an owl. "Do you know why Drake has impregnated you, and not me, Lena?"

"Nope! I just asked for a baby!"

"Hm. Bych, you know Drake best out of the three of us. Why would he impregnate Lena but not me?"

"Well..." Bych seemed like she didn't want to answer for some reason. That was weird! "I think Lena just asked really hard, until he gave in, but you're too nice to do that, joousama! Ah... oh! I think he didn't learn until recently that adventurers can't miscarry!"

"What's miscarry mean?" Lena asked. She'd heard Rei say it once, but she didn't know what it meant! It was in the same situation, too, about how adventurers couldn't do it! But what couldn't adventurers do?!

"Oh..." Bych paused, looking at Lena. "This definitely won't happen to you, okay, Lena? It only happens to people who don't have a falna. But sometimes, a mom is getting ready to have a baby, and the baby dies before she can have the baby."

"What? The baby dies?" Lena's hands protectively covered her belly. She didn't want her baby to die. "Because the mom trips and smushes her baby or something like that, right?" She'd just not trip!

"No," Bych said. "It just happens. People don't talk about it because it's terrible and there's not much they can do about it." It did sound really terrible!

"Bych," Noriko interrupted. "So you think that if I ask Drake again, he would make me pregnant?"

"Ah, I can't make decisions for Drake, joousama! You'd have to ask him yourself! But have you had a 'real talk' with him?"

"A 'real talk'?" Noriko asked, tilting her head.

"Yeah. It's this thing Drake does, where he's a lot slower to talk, because he's really trying to engage you, and think about what you're thinking, and things like that. I think if you told him why you want a child, then that would definitely provoke a 'real talk'!"

"I see. I would like to have a child because it would make my breasts bigger, and also because I love Drake, and also because I would like to have a child and am old enough to have a child, by the logic of this world."

"Then tell Drake that, joousama!" Noriko smacked Bych at that point, a sharp slap to the cheek. Bych rubbed her cheek. "Sorry for telling you what to do, joousama."

"Apology accepted," Noriko said, and Bych smiled.

There was a loud, heavy knocking on the door. Everybody turned to look at it, and the door knocking got louder. "Hello?" Came a male voice, one of the other familia members. He sounded tired, more than anything else.

"Hello," Noriko said.

"Are you having sex in there?"

"No," Noriko said.

The door opened at that point. The man on the other side was a dark-haired Loki familia member, a Level One whose name she didn't know. "Hey," he said, waving his hand vaguely at the group. "Hephaistos sent a messenger, she says she has information on a book you were looking for, Noriko?"

Noriko's brow furrowed. "I do not remember looking for a book."

"Ah!" Bych said. "I think I know about the book, joousama, but Hephaistos said it in code for a reason!" Noriko blinked. "Thank you for the information, Mister! I'll ask goshujinsama if I can suck your cock as a reward!"

"Uh... that's okay," the man said, backing out the door and closing it. With her superior adventurer hearing, Lena heard him mutter under his breath: "Crazy Bych."

"He called you crazy, Bych!" Lena said. "Should I go beat him up?!" She didn't like people being mean to other people, especially not a nice girl like Bych!

"No, he's totally right, Lena! I am crazy!"

"What is the book?" Noriko asked.

"The magic grimoire, remember?"

"Oh," Noriko said, nodding. "That makes sense. I did not think of that." She patted Bych on the head. "Good girl."

"Thanks, joousama!"

* * *

Noriko and I were waiting outside of Hephaistos's office, waiting to be called in to discuss the grimoire. Her small hand was held in mine. Maybe I was being overprotective, but I was twenty-nine (thirty? I didn't remember the exact day I'd transitioned over or anything), and she was sixteen/twenty. I was also a miser, and she was about to make a very expensive purchase. I just didn't want her to screw up and lose a huge chunk of her money for what ultimately wound up not being useful. Don't get me wrong, I was willing to respect her decision, whatever it was. I just didn't want her to make the wrong decision because she didn't realize it.

As we waited, Noriko spoke up. "I would like to have a child with you, for multiple reasons. Number one, it would make my breasts larger, which would make me more attractive to you, and I would like to be more attractive to you as I am in love with you. Number two, I love you, and therefore want to have a child with you, as an intuitive consequence of that. Number three, I would like to have a child, and am old enough to have a child by the logic of this world. Number four, I love you, and based on the number of close calls wherein you were almost killed, there is a high probability that you will not live long enough to father me a child if we wait multiple years, which I would not like, compared to the case where you did father me a child before dying, as I would have a child in remembrance of you. Given this, will you please impregnate me?"

The plainspoken way she just belted all that out, without a hint of shame, was an intense turn on for me. It was one of her most appealing qualities, in my book: the way she would just say what she felt like. I awkwardly attempted to ignore my boner. "Ah... I'm about to have two children already, Noriko."

"I understand. However, you have two bodies, and also eight wives, potentially nine or ten soon, given how Ais acts about you, and how you and Aisha are regularly having sex. I believe that having an additional child would not be too difficult. I would assist in raising it, and if nothing else, Rei could produce an extra clone to help raise the child, or multiple extra clones. Further, I believe you have mentioned in the past that, quote, 'parental raising style isn't that important. Only abuse and active neglect really matter. Well, and socioeconomic status.' As our child will have high socioeconomic status, being the child of adventurers, and we will not abuse or neglect it, then it is alright if we are imperfect parents. Therefore, you should impregnate me."

I had been thinking about adoption since my conversation with Julia. Adoption was, intuitively, more moral than having your own child - but the same logic that Noriko had provided also meant that I could do both, anyway. I was feeling stretched thin at the moment, but on the other hand, I probably wasn't actually that far off from getting a sincere love confession from Loki or Aisha. (Ais's floundering didn't seem likely to see results any time soon, even if it was cute.)

And, of course, I had to take into account the fact that I loved Noriko, and wanted to make her happy. I'd felt... worried, about impregnating my wives, while we were running into the Dungeon and getting almost-killed every day. But Rei had mentioned that adventurers never miscarried, and my own research seemed to verify that, despite how ridiculous it was. The only stories of a pregnant adventurer losing the child were things like "she was run through with a sword and barely survived." Getting slammed into walls, having your back broken, and things like that didn't cause miscarriages, if you were an adventurer.

"Alright, Noriko," I told her, and she brightened at that - looking shockingly happy. Normally, when Noriko was happy, there was the slightest upturn of her lips, just enough to be noticeable, or else she tried to create the impression of happiness, resulting in a plastic smile. Now, though, Noriko was smiling with a smile that wouldn't have looked foreign on a normal girl. I let go of her hand for a moment - if it was that important to her, well, she also deserved a kiss for being so patient with me. I hefted her up in both hands, pulling her into a kiss, and soon enough, her tongue was sliding hungrily into my mouth, teasing my palate and the back of my gums.

I just lost myself in the moment, losing track of time as we kissed like that. Then the door to Hephaistos's office opened, and I finally broke off the kiss, enjoying Noriko's flushed cheeks, though her intense radiance had died down. There was a redheaded young guy leaving the office, pretending not to notice us making out. Noriko spoke up despite our audience, though: "We should go home and have lovey-dovey babymaking sex now, instead of later, as we are married and have just agreed to have a baby." The poor guy flushed red and accelerated his pace.

"We can do it after this," I told Noriko, putting her down gently. "Promise," I added. She smiled, though she didn't return to her previous level of radiance. It made me want to take her home and pump a baby into right then, just to see that face again. "Now, let's go talk to Hephaistos."

"Very well," Noriko agreed, taking my hand again, as we went inside. I closed the door behind us, and she immediately started to speak. "I heard you have found a book for me."

"Yes," Hephaistos agreed. "The Freya familia is putting out feelers about it, so interested buyers can be ready to lodge their bids. It's from Briar Scath, a Level Four adventurer and mage. Her current spells are a moderate-length chant that creates a nigh-impenetrable barrier whose shape is chosen when she casts the spell, and another, longer spell which creates a falcon-like creature that can fly out to attack nearby enemies or to block attacks. It isn't a real falcon, it's entirely controlled by her will, and requires concentration to direct. Most likely, if you purchased a grimoire made by her, you would get spells somewhere vaguely in the area of these two. Since this is her first grimoire, it's harder to be sure of the details, but the cost is likely to be in the range of one hundred fifty million or two hundred million valis."

"I see." Noriko turned my way. "Drake, do you know of any reason I should not purchase the grimoire?"

One valis was worth something like a nickel; in other words, these were millions of dollars she was considering spending. It was a serious purchase. "What's the problem with purchasing a mage's first grimoire that makes it less desirable?"

"The sort of magic adventurers concern themselves with allows only three spells. You cannot 'unlearn' spells. So, if a mage is an unknown, the more spendthrift purchasers will simply wait for an option where they can be more sure of the consequences."

"And how expensive would those sorts of grimoires be?"

Hephaistos let out a long breath as she contemplated the question. "I think that after Briar has sold a few grimoires and people have a general idea what they'll learn, they would probably be worth six or seven hundred million valis. The price will rise for each one past the first until it levels off there, I think. It's hard to say without knowing. If her grimoires make relatively undesirable spells, perhaps four or five hundred million. If her grimoires make particularly desirable spells, perhaps nine hundred or even a billion."

Jesus Christ. As a habitual miser, it was really hard for me to put aside the completely insane price tags here. "So even if she makes crappy spells, they'll still be several times more expensive?"

"Grimoires don't make 'crappy spells.' They make less desirable spells. For example, if you were selling spears, axes, and swords, the spears and swords would be more popular than the axes, but axes are still perfectly valuable weapons. Similarly, light armor is less desirable than heavy armor, but many adventurers prefer light armor for its flexibility."

"Oh, so the demand is less," I said, getting it now.

"Yes. And just as adventurers would prefer to know if they were buying a sword, spear, or axe, they would also prefer to know what sorts of spells a mage's grimoires tend to produce. But... Noriko, you wanted something exotic. If you don't get something exotic from Briar, I can't imagine you'd have gotten it from anyone else."

"I see." Noriko turned my way. "Drake, do you have a problem with me purchasing this grimoire, given what Hephaistos has said?"

"No," I told her. "Well - I don't have a financial problem," I corrected. "It is expensive, but it sounds as cheap as it will ever be. I will still love you just as much even if you can't cast spells, so the choice is entirely yours." The price tag was still insane, but I might have swallowed my miserliness and bought it myself, if I'd been in her situation. You can't spend your money if you're dead, and so on.

Noriko turned back to Hephaistos. "I would like to buy it, then. Now that we are done-"

"How much money are you willing to pay?" Hephaistos interrupted.

"Oh." Noriko looked at me, blinking in her owlish way.

"Two hundred fifty million?" I suggested. "Is that a reasonable upper limit, Hephaistos?"

"It is," Hephaistos agreed, with a gentle smile.

"Then that quantity," Noriko agreed. "Now that we are done, let's go home and have lovey-dovey babymaking sex."

Hephaistos let out a small laugh at that, a smile on her lips. "Alright. Don't let me keep you any longer, Noriko. You have a nice time, you two," she said, then made a small shooing motion with her hand.

Noriko and I headed home, at that point.

* * *

Noriko arrived at the Twilight Manor, still holding her husband's hand. He was going to impregnate her. Bitch had been right, and it had been the correct idea to simply verbally offer him her argument. He had responded well. She was an excellent arguer, it appeared. Perhaps she should reward Bitch somehow. As the head wife, it made sense that she should do that sort of thing. Her husband interrupted her thoughts. "Noriko, I think Rei would like to watch."

"Oh." Noriko could not disagree with that fact. "Yes, she would. And as head wife, it is my duty to make sure that the other wives are happy. Let's make sure she knows that she can directly watch me have lovey-dovey babymaking sex." She felt the smile on her lips, and ignored the noise that came from the door guard, as well as the exaggerated movement of the man's head. She didn't understand what they meant, though she suspected they were derisive.

As it turned out, it was not necessary to find Rei personally. Her green serpent body slithered out towards the pair as they entered the building, running up Drake's leg and latching around his waist, eventually teasing its head on his neck. It made sense that she would know, as Rei had a power that allowed her to see things through other people's eyes, something which she constantly used.

When they arrived in the bedroom, Noriko immediately began to strip, and the serpent slithered off of Drake, allowing him to start to disrobe as well. Her gaze went to his increasingly naked body, as she started to worm her way out of her bra. "How do you want to get knocked up, Noriko?" He asked her.

She considered the question, as she peeled off her panties. She stood in front of him for a second, as he finished stripping the rest of the way. What was the ideal way to have lovey-dovey babymaking sex? You could only have it once every nine months at the absolute most, therefore it was important to carefully choose the optimal way to have sex. There was cowgirl, reverse cowgirl, missionary, reverse missionary, doggy style, spooning, lotus, 'mating press,' and other increasingly varied positions. "I believe I would prefer cowgirl," she said.

"Alright then," Drake said, smiling as he moved to lie down on the bed. Rei had found herself on a seat, and stripped her body naked from the waist down, one hand already plunged into her pussy as she watched the show, her big tits jiggling a bit from the force of it. "Come on, then, Noriko," he said, drawing her attention back to him. "Don't let Rei distract you."

"Yeah," Rei hissed out. "You should just pay attention to getting bred, and getting big huge tits," she said, licking her lips noisily.

When she turned her attention back to Drake, he was smiling, hands going to Noriko's hips as she moved to position herself atop him, his hard cock pointed directly at her waiting pussy. She slid herself slowly downward, relishing the feeling of his length in her pussy, the gentle pleasure of being filled. "Please, ejaculate whenever you please, darling," she told him, enjoying the way his cock twitched at that last word. He very much enjoyed it when she called him 'darling,' which she liked, because it represented the way he was particularly aroused by their emotional intimacy.

Drake, for his part, simply ran his hands across her naked body, his eyes running up and down her bare flesh. He leaned up, kissing at her neck, then slowly down her body, towards her chest. He sucked one hard nipple into his mouth, his hand sliding up her thigh and towards her sex. He started to tease her clitoris, his fingertips circling the sensitive nub, and she felt her breath escape her throat, a heavy pant of pleasure. A few scant seconds later, she was orgasming on his cock, her pussy clamping down on his cock, again and again.

She desperately hoped that she would coax an orgasm out of him. But as she came down from her high, her juices staining his groin, it was clear she had failed to. She started to move up and down again, trying to mix in a technique that Aisha had explained to her, which she had been practicing. There was no better time than now. She began to rhythmically squeeze his cock inside her, putting everything she could into it, as she simply descended down his entire length, milking him with her inner muscles as the two's naked bodies pressed against one another.

She got a sharp response from him. He gasped at the sensation, breaking off from her breast. His hand went for her butt, groping and squeezing it as he paused even his teasing of her clitoris. "Fuck, that's good, Noriko," he breathed out. He swallowed wetly, the thickness of the saliva in his mouth seeming so tasty and tantalizing to Noriko. She leaned down, meeting his lips with her own, and started to suck. His saliva just tasted wet, more than anything else, but she didn't mind. The hint of his own, unique flavor, was more than enough to make it exceptionally pleasant.

She panted against him, pressing her body into his, as she continued to work and squeeze his cock. His fingers gripped her ass cheek tighter intermittently, as if the pleasure she was dousing him in was managing to restrain all his self control. He still had yet to begin playing with her clitoris again, which was strongly suggestive of just how good he was feeling. As her pussy clamped and squeezed around his cock, she felt a sense of excitement. Would she, at last, manage to make him come after only coming one time herself? She hoped she would. That would be nice.

As if in answer to her inward prayer, his fingers gripped down on her ass cheek, and he came. As she felt his hot seed get spilled all over her insides, she kissed him all the more fiercely, moaning into his mouth as a sympathetic orgasm hit her. Her inner walls milked and squeezed his cock, wringing him out, sighing in pleasure she did so. When she broke off the kiss, they were both panting for breath. "Did you just impregnate me?" Noriko asked him, a certain excitement in his heart.

"Whoa, what?" Rei sputtered out, before Drake could answer. "He, he came that fast? I'm tryin' to get off here, fuh, Jesus."

Noriko responded by kissing Drake on the lips firmly, in order to have the chance to speak. It was true. Rei was still masturbating, even now. Rei would probably enjoy herself more, if she could continue to have lovey-dovey babymaking sex. Therefore, it would be for the best if Drake had not ejaculated inside her. However, he likely had, and lying was wrong. Therefore... she should simply not ask him. She popped off his lips. "Let's continue having lovey-dovey babymaking sex," she told him, and he grinned in reply.

"Sure thing," he told her, his hands starting to play with her clit and nipple again. They kissed once more, and Noriko started to really work over his cock with her inner walls, squeezing, gripping his length, running her pussy along his cock. He felt truly amazing inside her, and she started to wiggle in place, to give Rei a better view. It meant that she was not quite as competent at causing Drake to ejaculate quickly and thoroughly, but she didn't mind.

In the end, he ejaculated four times inside of her, to her eleven. It was one of her best ratios yet, and her naked body was soon plastered up against his own, much larger form.

Rei #8 was on a special duty. The most special duty there was. The most important job any Rei had ever had. Okay, maybe not literally the most important, since she had eaten Goro, but this was critical. She had to do this right. She had to seduce Chanelle now, while Alex was out. She sucked in a deep breath. She'd rehearsed this with #9. Well, really, a previous iteration of Rei #8 had rehearsed this with #9. This was important. For one, if Alex or Chanelle fell in love with Drake, they'd give him points he could use on useful stuff. More importantly, she really wanted to get eaten out by Alex.

Her tongue was prepared. It was extra long and flexible and sensitive. She knocked on the door. "Oh, Rei," her stepmother said, answering it.

"Hey, Chanelle," Rei responded, smiling. "Can I come in?"

"Oh, of course, sweetheart. You are my daughter, after all," she said, opening the door wide. "Alex is out for a bit, you know," she added.

"Ah, that's too bad," Rei lied. "Just for a little bit, right?"

"Oh, no. She's out for the rest of the day."

"And she left you here all alone? That's not very nice," Rei said. Inside, she was cackling with glee.

"Oh, I can go a whole entire day without seeing Alex, don't worry, Rei," Chanelle said.

"Yeah... but you gotta miss her. I mean... you're a grown woman. You've got needs." Chanelle looked at Rei. "You know. For intimacy. With someone who loves you." She took her stepmom's hand. "I love you. So I can stay here for the rest of the day, until Alex gets back."

Chanelle was quizzical, more than anything else. "Don't you have work of your own?"

"I mean, kinda, but also kinda not," Rei replied. "We can talk about it. What do you want to do, spending time with your number one daughter?"

"I have to admit, I'm a bit surprised by this. You're normally a lot, mmm... less affectionate? Not that I mind. Did something bring this on?" Her expression suddenly grew stern. "It's not something with your husband, is it?"

"No, no, he's fucking great," Rei #8 reassured her. "He's amazing. Best husband ever." Plus she got her pussy eaten by Julia and Noriko whenever she wanted, and probably would be sixty-nining with Haruhime Sanjouno herself in short order! "I'm probably an even bigger pain in his ass than I was in yours," she added, to try to really butter her stepmom on the subject. If Chanelle and Alex both fell for Drake, he might summon another copy and she could get literally gangbanged, which sounded fucking awesome. Or maybe he'd summon Naomi Evans and she'd get to bully the tittymonster. Oh, or buy literal immortality. Whatever. "But he's super nice and indulgent about it."

"Well, then, I'm happy for you, Rei," Chanelle replied, smiling down at her and giving her a pat on the head. "Hmm. Now what shall we do today? I had planned to just spend the day reading, but if you're here, perhaps we should do something else?"

"Oh, yeah, I had a few ideas for stuff we could do," Rei #8 agreed, recalling the list she'd worked out with Reis #9, #10, and #11 during a long brainstorming session. "There's this cool game I invented, actually, it's called Twister," she said, lowering her bag onto the floor.

"Oh my, our little genius invented a whole game of her own? How does it work?"

"Let me just get it set up," she said, taking out the plastic mat and laying it down. Heh. In short order, their bodies would be mushed up against one another. Maybe she could even suggest doing it in their underwear, for more flexibility and to avoid sweating up their clothes too bad? (Second time, though; she wasn't sure how sweaty Twister made you.) Rub her tits in her stepmom's face? There was no chance that the woman could hold out against Rei's genius seductive abilities.
