Lilith had known there was going to come a time where she couldn't hide it through physical means alone, anymore. As she stood near the mirror within her and Raylix's bedroom, wearing one of her husband's oversized shirts- because her own clothes were increasingly becoming a lost cause- she narrowed her eyes slightly as she studied the curve of her stomach.
"You're causing a lot of problems." She muttered to the foetus inside her, which didn't respond… how rude.
A soft knock at the bedroom door pulled Lilith from her thoughts, and preceded it opening a second later. Irene, carrying a couple of mugs of coffee in each hand, pushed through the open door with her shoulder, and pushed it shut behind her with her foot before stepping further inside.
"How are you planning on hiding that, if you need to return to your work within the next few months?" the scarlet-haired Magician asked, rolling her shoulders as she set one of the mugs down on the table beside Lilith's bed. "Because I can imagine there would be a lot of questions if you turned up pregnant, that you don't want to deal with."
"In the slightest." Lilith replied, letting out a small giggle. "And I can sort a layering of illusions to make it look like I'm not pregnant. Though I might need you to give it a once-over to make sure it looks as convincing as possible."
"Sure thing." Irene replied, taking a couple of gulps of her own coffee before setting it down herself. "Are Raylix and Eve not coming?"
"Raylix got called out on a mission this morning." Lilith replied. "And Eve's… still asleep."
She jerked her head backwards, in the direction of Raylix's room, which Irene let out a snort at.
"Yeah, I figured." She replied. "Bet you enjoyed hearing that all night."
Lilith giggled.
"It IS fun hearing Evie moaning her head off." She remarked, before gesturing to her stomach. "And it's good that Raylix can have some me-like fun with someone after I swore off… anyway, scan?"
"Scan." Irene replied, nodding as she sunk down onto the bed beside Lilith. "You know, before you start considering revenge on your unborn child after one trip to the bathroom too many."
Lilith rolled her eyes.
"No comment." She replied, grinning as she lifted up Raylix's Slayer shirt, slightly higher over the curve of her stomach. Irene, rolling her eyes slightly in return, rested a hand against Lilith's stomach as she'd done several times before over the last few months. And as had happened several times over the last few months, soft scarlet magical energy spread from the Magician's fingertips and over Lilith's stomach.
Lilith reached over, grabbed her coffee-cup and took a small sip from it as the scan spread further into her stomach under Irene's mental command. For several long moments, silence reigned over the bedroom as Irene did her magical work on the Lilim Queen, letting out slow breaths with eyes closed as she scanned the foetus within her.
Then, eventually, her eyebrows raised slightly, and her eyes opened.
"Hm."
Lilith set her cup down, immediately looking down at Irene.
"What?"
Irene shifted off the bed, and got to her feet.
"Well," she replied. "I think with it being this far down the line, I can confirm with absolute certainty that yours, Raylix's and Eve's child is 100% Primordial Human. There's no way that they would have taken this long to develop any demonic markers."
Lilith let out a slow breath through her nose.
"It's still weird, hearing that."
"It's still weird saying it." Irene remarked. That got another giggle out of Lilith, because along with quite a lot of other things- knowledgeable as she was- Irene was right on the money with that: a three-parent child, with two of the parents being of demonic breed, and yet absolutely zero Devil or Lilim genetic markers whatsoever.
Lilith shifted into a slightly more comfortable position on her bed as she looked over at Irene.
"Are they healthy, though?"
"Oh, yes." Irene nodded, running a hand through her hair and stretching. "She's fine. No changes from the last scan, she's perfectly healthy."
Lilith made to not in return, before she noticed Irene's use of the certain pronoun, and let out a slow breath.
"So… it's a girl."
"It is." Irene replied. "Guess that's number two. Biologically speaking, at least."
"And number four, overall." Lilith replied. "First Grayfia, then I adopted Hikari and Kurumi several centuries down the line, and now…" she reached down and gently rubbed at her stomach. "Truth be told, I think I was hoping for another girl. Hell only knows neither of my sons turned out… the best."
Irene hummed, snapping her fingers to magically pull a chair over to the bed before sitting down beside Lilith, her eyes on the Lilim Queen's stomach and her expression contemplative. Something that Lilith picked up on immediately upon glancing over at her, which Irene in turn noticed a second later.
The Magician leaned back and took a breath, looking like she was trying to figure out how to word what she was planning on saying next.
"I think, in the months since I first scanned you," she began. "I've managed to piece together at least part of what happened, after a bit of light reading."
Lilith raised an eyebrow.
"Somehow I doubt your definition of light reading is all that light, but go on."
Irene folded her arms thoughtfully.
"When magical energy and biological material mix at the level involved in conception- especially between supernatural races- there are racial codings embedded throughout the DNA itself." She explained. "It's part of why Devils make Devils, Angels make Angels, Humans make Humans, and so on. It's also why you get hybrids, when the parents of a child are two different races… in most cases, at least."
Lilith nodded.
"Though when the races are close enough biologically, it's a coin-flip as to what traits specific to said race the child will get." She replied. "It's why there aren't any Angel/Fallen Angel hybrids, or Devil/Lilim. In those cases, the child just appears as one or the other, and gets lumped in with what they appear as."
"Indeed." Irene replied. "Though that logic can't exactly be used here, considering your child- for all intents and purposes- has three parents. Not to mention we know for a fact now that it's a full-on Primordial Human, like Eve. Rather than your and Raylix's demonic natures hybridizing with Eve's Primordial Human nature, resulting in your daughter coming out as either a Devil/Human or Lilim/Human hybrid, yours and Raylix's racial codings got purged. Leaving only Primordial Human, like Eve."
"Purged…" Lilith repeated, thoughtfully.
Irene nodded.
"You know, cancelled. Cleansed. Purified. Restored to a better state"
"I know what the word means." Lilith replied. "I was just reminded…"
"Of?" Irene pressed, as Lilith began to trail off. "I'm all ears, Lilith."
"It's well-known that I was… not exactly born, but created as a Primordial Human." Lilith began. "Right alongside Adam. Divine soil, free home in the Garden of Eden, whole bit. Even after becoming a Lilim thanks to… Lucifer…" she folded her arms, a slight grimace crossing her face as a couple of quickly-forced-down memories surfaced, "that template never fully disappeared. And even if he couldn't fully restore me to how I was originally made, Yahweh was still able to restore that baseline template when I gave him the knowledge to kill my not-so-dearly-beloved former husband."
Irene let out a small giggle.
"That sounds like a fun… wait."
"And Eve is still a Primordial Human, after all this time." Lilith continued, slowly.
"Indeed, she is." Irene nodded. "So once yours and Raylix's racial codings were stripped away, what was left was Primordial Human, which became dominant by default."
"Right…" Lilith replied, rubbing lightly at her forehead. "I guess that makes sense, though HOW said racial codings got stripped…"
With her free hand, she pulled up the recording of her and Raylix's wedding night- featuring Eve- immediately fast forwarded it to the moment where Raylix finished in Eve, and his seed dripped down out from between her lower-lips and into Lilith's.
"That's the question, isn't it?" Irene mused, glancing over at the recorded sight as she'd done at least a few dozen times over the last few months. "Honestly, the fact that we are where we are- with a successful fertilisation and completely healthy child- under all these circumstances… I hate using the word, but it's hard to think of it as anything other than a-"
"Miracle?" Lilith finished. "Yeah, I'm not the biggest fan of that word either. But… yeah. First, there's the fact that, after that whole night, one of Raylix's sperm cells managed to get all the way here…"
She gestured to her stomach.
"Reach one of your eggs…" Irene continued.
"After the racial coding purge that had to have taken place inside Eve… because that," Lilith rewound to the moment Raylix finished inside Eve, held his cock inside her for a moment before slowly pulling out, directly preceding his load beginning to drip out of her. "is the only time that any of his sperm went both inside her and inside me."
She huffed out faint amusement through her nose.
"Miracle… ugh, that this whole thing is," she continued. "The important bit, nevermind all of this, is that she's healthy."
"Mmhmm." Irene hummed, nodding. "Very."
"Yeah." Lilith nodded back, adjusting her position on her bed before taking another gulp of coffee. "Good."
"I'll let you rest and, uh, sit with that for a bit." Irene spoke, getting to her feet. "Let me know if you need anything, yeah?"
"Sure." Lilith replied, nodding again. "Thanks again, Irene."
"Anytime." Irene inclined her head before making for the door, summoning her own coffee-mug to her hand with a wave. She was gone from Lilith's bedroom a few seconds later, leaving the Lilim Queen alone.
A miracle child? As much as she disliked the word, she was alright with it, in a weird way. After all, her descendants were hardly unused to such insane happenings surrounding their birth. One only needed to take two seconds to think through the cosmic dice-roll that Hikari had to go through to end up as both a descendant of the creator of all Devilkind AND the wielder of one of the Thirteen Longinus to realise that.
After a quick magically-enhanced glance into Raylix's room told her that Eve was still asleep in her husband's bed, Lilith summoned a certain small hand-mirror to her hand with a thought and focused her power into it.
It didn't take long for the surface to shimmer, and the face of the silverette she was calling to appear within it.
Grayfia looked mildly surprised at the sudden call, though that expression quickly softened upon seeing Lilith.
"Bad time?" Lilith asked, by way of greeting.
"Oh, no." Grayfia replied. "I was just… never mind. Are you well, Mother?"
"I'm fine." Lilith nodded, grinning and lowering the t-shirt she was wearing over her stomach. "Everything's fine. Better than fine, actually."
Grayfia blinked once, before her crimson eyes narrowed slightly.
"What's happened?"
Lilith glanced down, briefly, toward her stomach, before looking back into the stomach.
"Well…" she replied, not even bothering to resist the faintly smug smile tugging at her lips now. "I thought you should be the first to know that you have another little sister on the way."
As Lilith's due date drew closer and closer over the coming months, things around the URF leaders' compound had fallen into a tense state of anticipation. The closer the predicted date that her, Raylix's and Eve's daughter would finally pop out into the world came, the tighter the anticipation and tension around the compound seemed to become for everyone… with one exception: Lilith herself.
That was seemingly the only thing stopping most of the compounds' inhabitants from falling into a state of outright panic. Lilith hadn't been too worried about what was going on, not when her child was as closely monitored as she had been, and not when this had been- in her own words- the easiest pregnancy she'd ever been through so far, both physically AND mentally.
Well, if she was alright, Eve was alright. Humming lightly to herself as she walked past Lilith's room and, after checking to see if her girlfriend was alright (she was, Irene was sat beside her bed and monitoring her), made her way towards Raylix's room. With them being as close as they were, she simply pushed the door open and poked her head inside.
Her girlfriend's husband was lying on his bed, looking outwardly relaxed and flicking through a book, though if how he'd been acting for the last week or so had been anything to go by, he was anything but relaxed on the inside.
Glancing up when he heard the door being pushed open, a grin spread across Raylix's face.
"Hey, Eve."
"Hey, Ray." Eve replied, making her way over. When it became clear that she wanted to sit on the bed beside him, Raylix shifted over slightly to make room for her. "You doing alright?"
Raylix let out a slow breath, as Eve settled down on the bed beside him, shifting up close to him.
"Yeah, I think so." He replied. "I think when Lilith passed her due date a few days ago, that was about as stressed as I think I could get. Anything after, I can handle fine."
Eve nodded slowly, a small idea beginning to creep through her mind as she glanced up at Raylix, who had raised a hand to his nose and was rubbing it a little.
"Well, if you're still even kind of worried about what's about to go on in the other room..." She slowly spoke, a grin beginning to form over her face as her hand- which had been gently clasped around Raylix's arm, trailed up to his face and gently tilted it towards hers. "Then I think I know of something you'd like that can take your mind off of it. Even if only for a little bit."
Raylix could only let out a snort at what Eve was obviously insinuating, as he shifted more of his body to face hers.
"Well, after such a lovely proposition..." he began, before quickly leaning forward and pressing his lips against hers.
"Mmm!"
The speed of which he'd moved to do so surprised Eve, prompting her brief squeak from his act. But she soon adjusted to his touch, closed her eyes and reciprocated the kiss. She offered no resistance as Raylix took her into his arms, their lips locked as he pushed her down onto the bed. She wrapped her arms around him as well, gently pulling at his top and pants as a gesture that she wanted them off.
Raylix got the message pretty quickly, and pulled back from her after a few seconds to stand up and rip his own clothes off, while Eve- slightly slower and less brutally than her demonic lover- did the same with her own clothes.
By the time they were both done, and Raylix was entirely naked while Eve was in a tasteful yet basic set of white underwear, Eve couldn't stop herself from letting out a nervous giggle as Raylix advanced back towards her, his hands settling on her soft, slim waist as he pulled her back onto the bed. It was the first time she was doing anything even remotely approaching sexual with Raylix and Raylix alone, and the first time in millennia that her girlfriend wasn't involved with her, so she couldn't help but feel a shudder of excitement course through her entire body.
The Devil and Primordial Human dropped back down onto the bed, their lips remaining locked, while Raylix's hands roamed all over the Primordial Human's plush and pillowy body.
She was still hot- GOD yeah- Eve definitely cracked at least the top 5 among the most gorgeous women he'd ever seen in his life, but it was something he'd noticed (if unconsciously) ever since his and Lilith's wedding night and honeymoon, of which Eve had been a major player in. Compared to Lilith's more hardcore form that could take a genuine sexual beating- as she'd more than proven that night- Eve's was far softer and more malleable, almost delicate.
Raylix could work with that, he thought to himself as his hands made their way up to Eve's back, and fumbled at her bra for a few seconds before pulling it off. In fact, he very much WANTED to work with it, now that Eve had put the idea in his head.
After he'd finally unhooked her bra and tossed it aside, Raylix paused for a fraction of a second as his eyes were drawn to Eve's breasts, now free, bouncing down and up for a couple of seconds before settling into place.
"Raylix…" Eve breathed, catching his attention and looking into his eyes, while a light blush formed on her face.
Raylix looked up at Eve and grinned, one of his hands almost automatically making their way to one of her breasts.
"Yeah..." he replied, his voice also slightly breathy. "This is definitely gonna take my mind off..."
He jerked his head over towards Lilith's room, then with a chuckle of his own, leaned down to gently latch onto one of Eve's breasts with his mouth and suck on her nipples while reaching down to shift her lower underwear aside.
He knew from Lilith's recounting of her life that soon after she'd defied Adam and left the Garden of Eden of her own will, Eve had been created to look near-identical to her (or at least, how she looked when she was still a Primordial Human), but there were enough differences to everything else about her- disregarding Eve's body's aforementioned plush softness in comparison to Lilith's- that there he really couldn't call them the same.
The main ones that he could notice being, when he was this close to her near-naked form, her eyes drooped a bit while Lilith's were more upturned, and the nipples he was now sucking on were inverted compared to Lilith's always being erect (whether or not she was aroused). All of that, plus their general demeanours, added up to two wildly different women that Raylix simultaneously could not and absolutely get why they'd been girlfriends for so long.
"Ah… ah~!" Eve moaned out, almost whimpering at the feeling of Raylix's mouth on her tits and his mouth feeling around between her legs.
Raylix let out a muffled chuckle, enjoying the taste of Eve's milk once again settling in his mouth and going down his throat, as he shifted his wife's girlfriend's lower underwear aside far enough to satisfy him. That was immediately followed up on by him slipping his fingers across the opening to Eve's now-exposed snatch, playing around with her lower lips before slipping two fingers in between them.
The combination of that, plus his mouth on one of her sensitive nipples, drew a further moan out of Eve, which only ascended in volume as she felt Raylix beginning to expertly slide his fingers in and out of her while taking his mouth off of her breast.
"This what you had in mind, Eve?" he asked, a playful and slightly-perverted smile steadily widening across his face.
Eve's face flushed slightly as she looked down at Raylix, his mouth hovering around her leaking tits and fingers lightly sliding in and out of her.
"M-maybe?" she replied, sounding simultaneously bashful and nervous. "I… didn't really have much of an idea of what you'd do beyond… wanting to use me."
Raylix shrugged, shifted himself up slightly and pressed his lips against hers once again, immediately pressing his tongue into her mouth and dominating the kiss as his fingering slowly increased in pace. As so did Eve's pleasured moans, muffled were they by her mouth being as connected to his as it was.
Almost immediately, practically subconsciously, Eve began shifting her body herself, in tandem with the rhythm of Raylix's fingers as they pumped in and out of her.
"Mmm~!" Eve moaned out, pulling back for air at the same time as her moan escaped her. "Oh... oh Hell... mmm~"
"Yeah, that's right." Raylix murmured, smirking as he watched and felt Eve moving and moaning under his touch. With her having no-one except Lilith for sexual company up until his and her girlfriend's wedding night and honeymoon, it made sense that she'd react this strongly to his lovemaking style, given how different it was from hers.
It would make less sense if he didn't, considering he had more women than just Lilith to practice his... craft, on.
Mentally shrugging, he continued, aiming his next batch of kisses around Eve's mouth and trailing them down her neck, causing her to throw her head back to open it up more to his ministrations, moaning all the while.
If she was moaning this much, Raylix thought, then he could hardly imagine what Eve would be like once he was back properly inside her, for the first time in a while.
Sliding his slick fingers out of Eve's slicker pussy, and wiping them on her inner thigh (which he could swear made the Primordial Human shudder a bit, amidst her moans of frustration at him not being inside her anymore, Raylix pulled back from her while laying her down on her back, and positioned his twitching cock ready to enter her.
After a couple of seconds, he pushed forward, easily sliding into her and letting out a low breath as he felt her stretching out to accommodate his cock once again.
"Ohhh~!" Eve moaned out, throwing her head back against one of Raylix's pillows, before looking up at her girlfriend's husband, her face having very much flushed. "Raylix~!"
"Don't wear it out." Raylix replied, grinning as he pushed further into Eve, and began rhythmically thrusting inside her. And as he did so, another difference between her and Lilith made itself known to him, that he'd almost forgotten since their wedding night and honeymoon. While the inside of Lilith's pussy, as he assumed most Succubi were to one degree or another, was always pretty tight, and practically trying to strangle every drop of his essence out of him whenever he ventured inside her, Eve was far more flexible and accommodating to his member. He could almost feel it stretching and wrapping comfortably around him as he thrust into the Primordial Human.
More moans escaped Eve's throat as she felt Raylix's cock sliding into and out of her, his hands slipping down to push her legs upward so he could get deeper into her. With every passing second, she could her own soft and pliable body melting against the Devil's.
She'd already understood why he'd been able to attract so many lovers (and would continue to attract many MORE lovers: he had said he was only going to try and limit the total number to 50 during his and Lilith's wedding), but it was while he was so close to her, actually inside her that she really understood it, even if she was personally unused to him and his… work.
With her legs properly up, and Eve not in much of a position to lower them, Raylix's hands shifted back to her breasts, beginning to play with and knead them as his thrusts- almost naturally given the embrace his cock was getting from her pussy- began to increase in pace. His fingers sunk deep into the Primordial Human's flesh, as if grabbing a pair of super-soft pillows made specifically for someone to sleep on, though a closer comparison would probably be a waterbed considering they were both still filled with her milk.
Grinning down at her, Raylix kept his movements as soft as Eve's own pillowy body, all the while laying kisses on her neck, occasionally trailing down to her tits to suck on them for a bit before coming back up and repeating the process, all of it was adding up to an experience he was enjoying immensely.
And he could tell Eve was, too, judging by the warm, gentle smile that greeted him whenever he looked up at her. Whenever she wasn't moaning and writhing slightly under his ministrations, that was.
His thrusts slowly grew faster and faster, but no more erratic and forceful, his hands gliding from her tits around to her back, down to her hips, and then back up again.
"Nnngh~ mm~!" Eve moaned out, her body involuntarily shifting and moving with every time Raylix's hips slapped against hers. "Raylix- ohh, that's so good!"
"Yeah, I know." Raylix replied, his grin widening as he looked down at her. "You wouldn't be my second if I didn't know how to make you feel good.
Her face flushing further, Eve let out another aroused moan as Raylix continued to thrust. Though when she felt his cock beginning to pulsate inside her, it sent a violent but pleasurable shock through her entire body, and her already sky-high arousal spiralling up even further.
"Mm- R-Ray… Raylix~!" Eve moaned out, her eyes shaking in their sockets. "Please… you need to- ahh~!"
Raylix understood her begged request before she could even finish making it. His hands slid down to Eve's luscious plump ass and held on for dear life, making sure that there was no way in which she could pull away at the last second from him hitting his climax and sending his load on a one-way express trip straight to the Primordial Human's womb.
"Ohh, shit..." Eve moaned out, her face flushing scarlet as she felt the Devil's seed flying into her and filling her up. The feeling was that strong and that pleasant on top of how he'd been working on her up until that point that her own climax passed over her right after, her entire body tensing up in Raylix's grasp and then relaxing right after.
"Ohh, yeah~" Raylix replied, letting out a deep breath and slightly dark chuckle. As his cock was still rock-hard even after his climax, he began to move again while inside Eve, drawing a loud gasp out of the Primordial Human as she came down from her own orgasm.
Sliding out of her, he quickly moved his hands to flip the Primordial Human over so she was lying prone on her belly. Just as Eve hit the bed and reflexively grabbed at a nearby pillow to hold onto, Raylix slid one hand down to her now-filled pussy and slid his fingers in for a brief second, scooping some of his cum out on them and offering it to Eve.
"Go on..." Raylix whispered, directly into Eve's ear as he slid his cock back into her. "You know you want to~"
Another aroused whimper escaped Eve, which only got more audible as Raylix rested his free hand against one of her plush ass-cheeks and gave it a squeeze, one slightly rougher than how he'd been treating her before he'd came the first time. Her eyes flicked down to the cum-covered fingers of his hand that was right in front of her face, before after a second's hesitation she craned herself forward and gave his fingers a lick.
It tasted just as divine (ironically) as what he'd fired out onto her face during his and Lilith's wedding night, and every other time his baby-batter had made it into her mouth during the honeymoon.
"Good girl..." Raylix almost growled in approval as he slid his cum-covered fingers further into Eve's mouth, which closed around them as he began thrusting into her again, letting out a moan of his own all the while.
Eve almost came again as she heard Raylix's voice, felt his hot breath so close to her ear along with his thrusts inside her creampied cunt. If he was this good with domming her when she knew she wasn't as into it on a hardcore level, just what the non-literal hell would he do with someone that was hardcore-into it?
That thought quickly disappeared from Eve's mind, however, when Raylix's free hand slid between the bed she was lying on and one of her breasts, which he eagerly squeezed at and began kneading as he thrust into her.
With her head pressed against one of Raylix's pillows, Eve let out another muffled moan. Her back reflexively arced somewhat, and an intense wave of pleasure spread through her entire body as she felt Raylix's cock sliding as deep as he could stick it into her from this angle. Her ass jerked upward a little, almost as if it was begging for more in spite of how overwhelming (in the best way possible) Raylix's actions against her felt.
Raylix seemed to get what Eve was asking for, and delivered in kind by moving his fingers slightly further into mouth, making sure that Eve had no choice (not, with how lust-hazy she currently was, that she would have chosen not to) but to suck every last drop of cum from them, while continuing to thrust even faster into her.
Looking down, he saw that with every time his hips slapped against her ass, her divine cheeks rippled in a fashion that he could only call... ungodly arousing, which only drove him to thrust harder.
"Ah~! Ah~! Ahhhnn~!" Eve's muffled moans came out, in tandem with the Devil's hard and fast thrusts. "Rayhhl- ahh~!"
Raylix couldn't help but chuckle as he pulled his fingers (now clean of cum) out of Eve's mouth and, again, wiped them on her body as he leaned in closer, squeezing her tit a little harder as he did so.
"Yeah~?"
Eve could barely get any sounds out, let alone coherent words, with her over-pleasured mind just too overwhelmed to get anything out properly. In spite of that, though, Raylix continued to up the sexual ante on his Primordial Human lover, with hopes that she'd blurt something out. Thrusting harder and faster to make her ass ripple in a hotter and hotter fashion, tweaking and squeezing at her tits one at a time, and keeping her locked in place with his body on top of hers.
"What do you want, Evie?" Raylix asked, a lustful grin crossing his face as Eve seemed to freeze up for a second, having heard him using the nickname her girlfriend had gave her. "Come on, you can tell me."
His grin took on a slightly evil tint as he then slowed down a touch, knowing that Eve- now addicted to the pleasure he was so talented at providing- would give him whatever he wanted.
"S… star…" Eve forced out, swallowing as her whole body shook with every thrust she felt rippling through her lower half, before drawing in a quick breath and yelling out "L-LEAVE ME STAR-STRUCK, RAY!"
"That can be arranged..." Raylix replied, between his own moans. "All you had to do... was ask!"
He then, without any warning, dramatically upped the ante on Eve once again, taking an outright firm grasp of the breast currently in his hand, and paused his thrusts for a second before driving his hips forward with such force that Eve was thrown forward a little, yelping in mixed surprise and pleasure.
A wave of ecstasy flew through Eve's entire body from the thrust, and just as the ensuing yelp of pleasure had left her throat, Raylix brought his hips back for a second before ramming forward again, sending her jolting forward in his grasp once again and triggering another ecstasy-wave.
Grinning at the sounds Eve was making and the physical effect he was having on her, Raylix continued his work. She thought she was being overwhelmed before, but she hadn't seen anything yet.
Eve's eyes shook with every thrust, practically rolling behind her head as she could do little more than lie there and take what she'd begged for. A screwed-stupid look was settling into place across her face as she felt, along with Raylix's thrusts, someone else taking a place in her heart alongside her girlfriend Lily. And at the same time, coincidentally, a desire to repeat what had happened on her girlfriend's wedding night as often as possible, once their child was born.
And if said wedding night, and how good she'd been during that lovely event hadn't done it, Raylix was pretty sure now that he'd also fallen for Eve, in one form or another. Grinning all the while, he continued to ram into her with his hips and cock, play with her incredible tits and ass with his hands, just use the Primordial Human writhing beneath him for the very stress-relief that Eve herself had proposed.
And he could tell that she wouldn't have it any other way, with how loud she moaned, how her body shuddered with every thrust of his hips, tweak of her nipples or smack of her ass, and how she seemed to unconsciously bring her body up to meet his.
Lust alone wouldn't have done that, or at least not as well as she was doing it now.
Further whimpers escaped Eve's throat as she reflexively grabbed onto one of Raylix's pillows, holding it close to her for the sake of having… SOMETHING to hold onto. Which, from the angle Raylix looked down at the Primordial Human from, looked both extremely erotic and incredibly Lilith-damn cute.
That only fuelled him to thrust harder and faster into her, causing her to jolt back and forth in a sort of rhythm in response to said thrusts. It eventually built up to the point that he was almost jackhammering her pussy with his cock, which would have probably driven any normal person all the way to the edge of madness had they not died from the force of it first.
Yet Eve was... significantly more normal than the rest of Raylix's harem, being a Human and all, but still also far from it thanks to the whole Primordial… thing.
"R-Raylix…" Eve groaned out, her voice slightly muffled by the pillow she was holding so close to herself. "I… please… again…"
Raylix wasn't sure if he'd have been able to pull out and finish outside of Eve if she didn't want him to, given how far along he was. A loud grunt and moan escaped him at that moment to go along with his second climax, as he sent another batch of his demonic load straight into the pussy and womb of Adam's former wife.
As she felt his second batch entering her, Eve let out a loud moan, her entire body stiffening up for a few seconds as she climaxed herself before it relaxed. She could only take a couple of deep, heavy breaths before Raylix- who as it turned out wasn't done by any stretch of the imagination- snaked his hands under her waist and pulled them back and up, hoisting her into a doggystyle position with his cock still nestled inside her overstuffed pussy.
Eve's hands reflexively dropped down onto the bed to keep herself up from the bottom, while Raylix slid up onto his knees and began thrusting again, his hands sliding back towards her shaking ass to keep her in place.
"Ahhnn~!" Eve moaned out, her entire body rocking and bouncing as she felt Raylix beginning to move in her most sensitive area again. "R-Raylix, you… you…!"
"I… what?" Raylix moaned himself, grinning as he squeezed Eve's huge ass-cheeks with both hands as he thrust into her, pulling them apart and briefly letting go to watch them erotically bounce back into place.
Eve didn't reply, the screwed-stupid expression returning to her face and her tongue beginning to flop out of her mouth as she rode out the pleasure Raylix was delivering onto her. It had gotten to the point that her nipples- which had popped out from their inverted state sometime during the evening and early morning- were beginning to leak out some milk from how overstimulated she was.
Noticing that, Raylix slipped his hands down under them to both simply squeeze on them and do his best to catch some of the milk that was oozing out of her nipples with every passing second as he thrust. After a few good squeezes, accompanied by even better moans from the near-delirious Eve, he slipped one of his hands around to in front of her face, and dragged his milk-covered hand against her stuck-out tongue so she could taste her own delicious milk, while leaning over her and seriously enjoying giving it to her like this.
As best she could with her tongue flopping out all over the place, Eve let out another moan, subconsciously throwing herself back against his thrusts for extra impact and pleasure. Raylix's own moans seemed to synchronise with hers, and only increased in volume as his ultra-sensitive cock quickly began building up in pressure again, and pulsating inside his wife's girlfriend's twitching soft pussy as he kept mercilessly thrusting into her.
Eve felt said cock's pulsating inside her and grabbed the sheets in response, wincing a little as such a pressure combined with her pussy being overstuffed as it was was too teasing for her insides to handle for long.
"I take it you want it, Evie?" Raylix whispered, directly into her ear as he leaned over her again. "You want me to fill you up again?"
"Y-yes…!" Eve cried out, her voice a whimpering beg. "Please, Ray… please~!"
And so he did, letting out a long loud moan as he slammed his hips into her once again and held them there, his cock pulsating violently as shot after shot of his seed spilled from his cock straight into Eve's pussy. It took a moment for it all to pass, until he couldn't feel much leaving him beyond a mild trickle, at which point he pulled out of Eve and, mildly panting, dropped down onto the bed, relaxing on his back.
Eve, her own moan escaping her as she hit her own climax, such was the pleasure of feeling Raylix creaming her for the third time that night, buckled and dropped from her doggystyle position down onto her stomach. As without Raylix's cock inside her anymore her pussy was now steadily leaking cum, and now lucid enough to notice him lying on his back next to her, she shifted herself over the bed until she was close enough to snuggle up next to him.
"Haah… mm, Gods, Raylix~"
Eve let out a pleased hum as one of Raylix's arms loosely wrapped around her back, her body settling against his. That became a giggle as, seemingly naturally, Raylix's hand trailed down to her luscious sweaty ass, and playfully squeezed it.
"You're probably gonna knock me up before long, if you keep going like this." She remarked, grinning up at him as she adjusted her head, resting it against the top of his chest.
Raylix snorted quietly, running his other hand through the Primordial Human's hair.
"Somehow, I don't think you'd mind that." He remarked. "I mean, you do keep begging me to finish in you."
"…No comment." Eve replied, adjusting her position atop him and resting a hand against his shoulder, seemingly pulling herself closer to him than she already was.
Raylix rolled his eyes, shifted himself up slightly so he could reach around his back and drag another pillow underneath himself, and let himself drop down onto them. He was just about ready to just relax with the gorgeous naked woman atop him in their shared post-orgasmic haze, but found that interrupted when the door was pushed open again.
Eve was the first to react, immediately springing up from her relaxed position on Raylix's chest as soon as she heard the door being pushed. Funnily enough, she'd probably have ended up showing less of herself if she'd just stayed put on his chest, as her breasts- coated in a light sheen of sweat along with the rest of her body- bounced up in conjunction with the sudden movements of the rest of her body.
Raylix, for his part, simply turned his head towards the door, lazily grinning over at the woman stood in the doorway.
"Hi, Irene."
The scarlet-haired Magician crossed her arms, her eyes flicking across the scene in Raylix's bedroom that she'd opened the door to.
"Glad to see the pair of you are awake and alert." She remarked, semi-sarcastically.
"Hey, gotta pass the time somehow." Raylix replied, as Eve grabbed a nearby sheet to cover herself, exposing his glistening semi-hard member in the process. "What's up?"
"Lilith's gone into labour."
Any relaxed haze or embarrassment within either Raylix or Eve died at those four words.
"Oh, shit-!"
Irene made the wise choice to step away from the doorway as Raylix and Eve launched themselves out of the bed in a tangled blur of limbs and sheets. It took a pulse of simple magic from Raylix to both summon some clothes onto himself and Eve, and to… somewhat, clean them both up.
At the very least, Raylix's cum wasn't visibly dripping down Eve's legs from beneath the dress he'd summoned onto her by the time they both left his room and made the short trip down the hall to Lilith's room. By some miracle at least in the same league as the mere existence of their now-coming child, Eve got to Lilith's bedroom door first, shoving the door open with Raylix right behind her-
-only for both of them to pause slightly at the scene inside.
Lilith was sat comfortably upright atop the bed, one of Raylix's t-shirts stretched over her heavily-pregnant stomach, while calmly sipping on a cup of tea.
The chair that usually sat in front of Lilith's vanity had been pulled over to the bed, and was currently occupied by Kurumi, who looked vaguely confused by the lack of chaos. Hikari was hovering around near the window, looking like she was expecting something terrible to happen at any second.
Raylix was expecting his wife to be writhing in agony, probably screaming her head off as she pushed their child out of her. And seemingly, judging by the expression on her face, so was Eve. Neither of them had expected the moment of truth to be looking like… this!
"Sorry to drag you away from each other." She remarked to the pair of them, by way of greeting. "You sounded like you were having fun in there."
Raylix blinked, and Eve let out a vaguely confused gasp in seeming response to how calm Lilith was being.
"What./You're not yelling?"
"Why would I be yelling?"
"Because you're in labour?!" Hikari blurted out.
Raylix rubbed lightly at the back of his neck.
"…Sorry." He remarked, awkwardly. "We didn't hear anything. We were… a bit occupied."
Eve went slightly pink as Lilith snorted.
"I don't think there was anything to hear. I don't think I was being loud." She glanced between Hikari and Kurumi. "Was I being loud?"
"…Not really./No."
She looked back at Raylix and Eve, shrugging while taking another sip of tea.
"There you go, then. Bet the lot of you were expecting some combination of screamed curse-words and agonizing pain when the moment came, right?"
Raylix and Eve glanced between each other, as did Hikari and Kurumi.
"Uh… yes?" Raylix replied, after a few seconds.
Lilith rolled her eyes.
"How sadistic of you." She remarked. "But honestly, after… millennia of previous experiences, this barely even registers."
"That's… both nice to hear and kinda upsetting." Kurumi muttered.
"And also," Lilith added. "Apparently a certain curse to multiply pain in childbirth seemingly doesn't apply to me anymore. I guess Yahweh gave me a break on that front."
Eve puffed her cheeks out a bit in response to that final remark.
"Must be nice."
Lilith looked towards her concubine, grinning slightly smugly.
"Yeah, it's pretty nice."
Eve pouted, and Raylix snorted despite himself.
It didn't take long for the news that Lilith had gone into labour to spread throughout the leaders' compound. By the time the time came, Raylix wouldn't have been surprised if half the faction that didn't live in the leaders' compound were stood outside, anticipating updates of one kind or other, and that wasn't to say anything of the people that lived inside.
Everyone- from Malech to Cinder to Katerea- had come to give their wellwishes before being ushered out by either Raylix, Eve, Hikari, Kurumi or some combination of the four. Hikari and Kurumi themselves had taken their leave after a while to give their mother, mother's concubine and their step-father space, and let the people who could actually help with their younger sister's birth do their thing.
Those being Irene and- surprisingly- Tamamo.
The kitsune had appeared shortly after the news began to spread, taken one look at Lilith and casually announced to the surprise of everyone-
"I can help. I've delivered a child before."
That statement had, understandably, caused the room to pause.
"…You couldn't have brought that up earlier?" Irene had asked, her staff still trained on Lilith, ready to cast any pain-numbing should she need it.
"None of you asked." Tamamo had replied, shrugging. "I helped deliver my younger sister when Inari gave birth to her.
Another pause, before-
"Wouldn't that make you a demigoddess, or something?" Eve had asked.
"Not important!" Tamamo replied, before closing the distance between herself and Lilith in a couple of steps and kneeling down to check how dilated she was. And at that point, everyone else in the room- Raylix, Eve, Irene and even Lilith- had collectively decided that asking further questions about the ancient fox spirit's family tree was probably a mistake.
But more importantly, though, Tamamo clearly knew what she was doing. Once she'd started directing the room with the confidence of someone who had absolutely handled childbirth before (even if it had to have been nearly a millennium ago, at the very least. Raylix had vaguely remembered Tamamo telling him that Yasaka had been born about that long ago), Lilith had let her take charge and everyone went along with it.
Throughout the entire process, which progressed much faster than Raylix had expected it to, Partially because Lilith hadn't been in much- if any- pain at all beyond only mild discomfort when shove came to push, and partially because even with Tamamo's instruction, after three births across her lifetime, she knew exactly what she was doing.
But that didn't halt Raylix's nerves. He wasn't openly panicking or anything, he was just… intensely focused in the particular way people got when they were trying very hard to not accidentally screw something up.
Even though he wasn't doing much of anything, though he was prepared to jump in with anything Lilith, or Tamamo, needed him to do.
Eve, for her part, remained close beside Lilith throughout the process, occupying the chair Kurumi had vacated and holding one of her hands. All while alternating between concern, excitement, and occasional emotional near-meltdowns whenever the reality of the situation caught up with her again.
But eventually, after one final push… a small cry filled the room.
And there she was. Tiny, warm and… alive.
After the cord was cut, and placed into a crystalline stasis container by Irene for further study, Tamamo carefully lifted the newborn into her arms and began magically cleaning her, while Irene immediately performed several quick magical checks.
The room was completely silent, save for Lilith's slightly-laboured breaths as she came down from the effort of pushing out her fourth (biological) child, and Eve trying not to cry, before Tamamo quietly handed their child over.
"She's perfectly healthy." Irene murmured, a small smile crossing her face as she looked down at the child in Lilith's arms. "Congratulations."
The first thing everyone noticed about the baby was her hair colour… crimson. Brilliant, bright crimson. Distinctive Gremory crimson.
Raylix blinked a couple of times at it, unconsciously running a hand through his own auburn hair.
"…Huh."
"Guess it skipped a generation." Eve remarked. "That can happen."
The room collectively paused again when the child stirred, and opened her eyes. Her soft, luminous, silvery-white eyes, like a pair of shining moons.
"Beautiful." Tamamo faintly mused. No-one even thought of disagreeing.
Lilith's eyes flicked from her youngest daughter to the pearl embedded in her wedding ring, and back again, silent for several seconds before speaking for the first time since the child had come out.
"…Yue."
Raylix, who had perched on the bed in front of his wife, looked up from his daughter for the first time.
"What?"
Lilith's expression softened, in a way he'd rarely seen from her… ever, as she looked up at him.
"I think that should be her name." she murmured. "Thought of it just now, and… well, I think it works."
Raylix glanced back toward the child, as she looked over at him with the silver moon-like eyes, and he smiled. After a couple of seconds, he nodded.
"Yue Elysia…" Eve murmured, seemingly testing her daughter's name on her tongue before nodding rapidly. "Yeah, that's perfect."
Irene smiled, before turning on her heel and making for the door, seemingly wanting to give the first-time father and pair of mothers some time alone with their newest bundle of joy. After a couple of seconds, Tamamo followed, shutting the door behind her.
Silence settled over the room again. Far more peaceful silence, this time.
Lilith sat, resting against the bed's headboard, Yue cradled carefully in her arms while Eve shifted off of the chair up onto the bed, utterly captivated by her newborn daughter.
Raylix shifted up the bed as well, still looking faintly stunned as he continued to mentally work through what had just happened, and what he'd helped create. Truth be told, he was still pretty overwhelmed by it all.
After passing Yue over to Eve, Lilith glanced over at him, a faint smirk appearing across her face.
"You know… I'm going to screw you into next year once I've recovered, right Raylix?" she asked, her eyes flicking between him and Eve. "Got to reassert my position at the top of your harem after so long away from you."
Eve giggled immediately, while Raylix snorted.
"We're only a week off of next year, Lil." He replied. "But either way, I think being the first one to have a kid with me, and you just being you, already establishes your position at the top of my harem, pretty thoroughly."
Lilith looked smugly pleased by the reply, before relaxing back on the bed.
"True. Next decade, then."
Raylix couldn't resist a small chuckle at that.
"Can't wait."
Eve smiled, before offering Yue to Raylix. And with more gentleness than he thought himself even capable of, Raylix took her, slowly running a couple of fingers through her crimson hair.
"Welcome to the world, little Yue." He murmured, as his daughter blinked sleepily up at the world she'd just entered.
1995
"I swear to Lucifer, Vene, if Lord Vepar corners me again at one of those galas to discuss grain tariffs, I'm going to throw myself off the roof of this castle."
"You say that every gala, dear."
"And one day, I'll mean it."
Venelana let out a small giggle at her husband's dramatic nature as she watched him pulling on his bedwear, after the two of them had returned home from an Underworld gala that celebrated the re-establishment of trade between the Astaroth and Vapula clans. Such a gathering had attracted nobles from all across the Devils' side of the Underworld, which naturally meant the event consisted mostly of politics, expensive food, even more expensive wine, subtle threats disguised as sweet-talk and compliments, and at least three separate attempts by lower-ranked Clans to marry their children upward socially.
That Zeoticus and Venelana had spotted, which meant the real number was probably at least ten.
Venelana, having gotten done brushing her hair after stepping out of the shower, sent her hairbrush away through a transportation-circle and stretched, before getting to her feet and adjusting her nightgown a bit. As Zeoticus finished pulling on his nightwear, she made her way over to him and gently wrapped her arms around his back, pressing her chest against his back in the way she knew he liked.
"You shouldn't even be thinking about galas right now, love." Venelana mused, directly into Zeoticus' ear. "Not when you're back at home, in your bedroom, with me."
Zeoticus let out a short chuckle, resisting the urge to shudder as his wife's hands snuck under his nightshirt.
"I suppose that's true." He replied, a grin slowly forming on his face. "I'm sure you're planning on giving me something else to think about, though. That was the reason you decided to sleep in my room tonight, right?"
"Maybe~" Venelana half-whispered, half-seductively murmured. But before either of them could physically take things further, there was a knock at the bedroom door.
Both Devils glanced towards the door, before slowly shifting apart.
"Come in." Venelana called, snapping her fingers and summoning a slightly more conservative dressing gown onto herself in the process. The door slowly opened a second later, with Rias standing on the other side.
Before any of the three Devils spoke a word to each other, both parents noticed something was off with their daughter. She was fidgeting slightly with the sleeves of her nightclothes as she hesitated for a second, before stepping into the room. Her expression was uncertain and uneasy, the look that children got when they knew something was wrong, but they weren't entirely sure why.
Venelana's expression softened immediately, and she spoke first.
"Rias?" she asked gently as she began making her way over. "What's wrong?"
Rias hesitated again, and Venelana paused before she could fully reach her.
"Can I…" the crimson-haired girl slowly spoke "ask something?"
"Of course, dear." Zeoticus replied, fully turning to face his daughter. "What's on your mind?"
Venelana gently picked Rias up and carried her over to the bed, setting her down on it before sitting down beside her. Zeoticus took a seat on her other side, as Rias looked down at her lap for a second before looking back up at her parents.
"During the gala, earlier…" she began slowly. "Riser said something… weird, to me."
"Oh?" Zeoticus asked carefully. "Weird how, exactly?"
Rias' face screwed up slightly as her five-year-old mind tried to find the right words to answer with.
"We were talking, after one of the dances." She explained. "And he said there were- uh- certain things I'd only understand about being his bride when I was older."
Zeoticus shared a look with Venelana, and Rias frowned faintly.
"I don't really know what he meant, by that." She admitted quietly. "But I heard his purple-haired friend laughing when he said it, and I just…"
She hesitated again.
"I didn't like it. Any of that."
A heavy silence settled across the room. Unfortunate as it was, Zeoticus and Venelana could both make a fairly educated guess as to what Riser Phenex- who had already started collecting various types of women for his peerage as some noble males did- had likely been implying with his words.
Venelana noticed Zeoticus tensing slightly beside her and Rias, and verbally stepped in before he could.
"Rias," she began. "What Riser meant by that was that marriage… changes how people think."
Rias looked up towards her mother, who smiled softly.
"When the two of you are older, and married," she continued, "you'll both has responsibilities that go beyond just yourselves."
"That's right." Zeoticus continued. "As the future Duchess and Duke Gremory, one day you'll be doing what Venelana and I do. Overseeing the territory within the Underworld that we do, running our family affairs, and protecting the lives of the hundreds of thousands of Devils that call this land their home. And that means… making difficult decisions, Rias. Decisions that affect entire communities, maybe even the future of the family that you'll one day be the head of. Not just yourself."
Rias listened quietly, her face slightly screwed in concentration as she did so.
"So, when Riser said there were things you'd understand when you're older…" Venelana concluded, resting a hand on Rias' small shoulder "I think he just meant responsibilities like those. You understand?"
The young Heiress lowered her gaze slightly, with silence settling over the bedroom for a few seconds before she replied.
"…Yes." She replied, quietly. "…Thank you, Mother."
Though the words were directed at Venelana, and though his expression was still neutral, steady, Zeoticus couldn't help but feel an extremely unpleasant twist in the pit of his stomach, or his demonic blood running slightly colder than it normally did.
He'd heard that tone before out of one of his children. Gods, he recognised it perfectly.
The quiet acceptance, the subdued withdrawal… it was a tone that he'd come to learn preceded disaster.
For a split-second, Zeoticus wasn't in his bedroom anymore. He was a few years ago, standing in Raylix's bedroom and chatting with him about duty, family and the future. And not even a full day later, the powerful and influential Clan that Zeoticus had worked to create ever since the end of the Devil Civil War had very nearly collapsed in on itself.
"Can Grayfia still tuck me in?"
Zeoticus found himself forced back to reality as Rias' voice met his ears again.
"Of course, Rias." He replied, gently. "I'll have her sent to your room now. Just head back there, and she'll do whatever you need her to do."
"Okay!" Rias, her spirits seemingly lifted at least a little, replied as she slid off the bed and made for the door. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight, sweetheart." Venelana replied, warmly. Zeoticus managed a smile, too.
"Sleep well, Rias."
Rias quietly left the room a second later, shutting the door behind her.
Venelana immediately looked towards her husband, who had gone immediately pale.
"Zeo-?"
"Oh, no." Zeoticus whispered, looking down at his hands. "No, no, no, fuck, no!"
He ran both of them through his head, ascending to his feet at alarming speed. Venelana followed a second later, and immediately approached.
"Dear…?"
Zeoticus rounded on Venelana. A deep, shuddering breath went in and out of the Duke before he spoke again.
"The night before Raylix left, he used that tone." He said, immediately pointing at the door that Rias had left through. "That EXACT tone, Vene. It was like-"
"Zeoticus?"
"Hearing it out of Rias was like-"
"Zeoticus."
"What if-"
"She is not Raylix."
The firm interruption finally stopped him in his verbal tracks.
Venelana took a gentle hold of her husband's hands, leaned forward and gently rested her forehead against his.
"She… is not… Raylix." She repeated, slower and softer this time.
And rationally, Zeoticus knew that. Rias and Raylix were very different people: damn near everything he'd done for the former since she was born had been to make sure that remained the case. But that hadn't stopped the memory of that night nearly six years ago from hitting him like a train. The sound of someone quietly deciding something internally while pretending otherwise…
Gods above and below, he never wanted to hear it out of ANY of his children, ever again.
Venelana tightened her grip on Zeoticus' hands a little, catching the Duke's attention again. She could see the panic building in his eyes again, even if it hadn't fully retaken hold yet.
He clearly needed further convincing of her point, and she knew just the thing.
Taking her hands off of Zeoticus', she raised one of them and summoned a small magic-circle between them, while raising the other to her head.
The centre of the circle shimmered, and a memory appeared within the glowing projection.
A memory of, from her own perspective, Venelana sat in her bedroom, just across the hall from where she was stood with Zeoticus in the present. In her arms lay a newborn baby girl, wrapped in crimson blankets.
A tiny girl, a fragile girl, a beautiful baby Devil, with hair framing her face… blonde hair.
Venelana- in the projected memory- looked up slightly as Zeoticus' hand entered the frame, then back down at the child as her husband- in the memory- carefully ran his fingers through the child's hair.
Magic softly spread through the child's golden strands, gradually shifting them into a deeper, richer crimson than even Zeoticus' or Sirzechs' own natural hair.
In the present, Zeoticus stared at the memory in silence, before taking a quiet breath.
"Rias…" he murmured.
Venelana nodded, softly.
"OUR Rias." She reminded him, gently. "In every way that matters."
Zeoticus remained quiet.
"Any claim he could have had over her vanished, the moment he became a runaway groom." She continued. "Raylix and that maid might have been her father and mother…"
"But WE'RE her parents." Zeoticus whispered, resolute, before taking a breath. "Yes."
Venelana took Zeoticus' hands in hers and guided him towards the bed.
"And besides," she continued. "We know better now, how to raise an Heir the right way. We barely knew what we were doing when it came to navigating nobility back when our family first ascended to nobility. Of course we were going to make mistakes with Raylix… granted, I think we both wish those mistakes didn't blow up in our faces quite as badly, but…"
Zeoticus took another breath, nodding.
"Yes." He replied, sinking down onto the bed. "You're right, Vene. Rias has been different from the beginning."
"We've been able to shape her mind far more carefully than we ever managed with Raylix." Venelana spoke. "She trusts us. Loves us. Comes to us whenever she's confused, or upset. I mean, she came here tonight because something Riser said made her uncomfortable. What do you think Raylix would have done?"
"Probably buried something like that inside himself." Zeoticus replied, closing his eyes as his brow furrowed. "Along with a bunch of other things, until it explodes out of him at the worst possible moment."
Venelana nodded, letting out a slow breath as she wrapped an arm around Zeoticus, hugging her husband close.
"She won't turn out like him." Venelana murmured. "I know she won't."
Zeoticus let out a breath, directly between her breasts before pulling back.
"Mother's instinct?"
"Mother's instinct."
Zeoticus nodded, his expression hardening slightly.
"We won't make the same mistakes we did with Raylix." He spoke, his voice resolute. "Not this time. Not with his- our, daughter."
And right then, the memory-projection faded from Venelana's mind, as Zeoticus brought her in for a kiss.
And on that bombshell, it's time to end! Yeah, this ending AN is too long for the Author's Thoughts, so it's going out here.
Only temporarily, though. Before we do, I feel like I've got to go through some final things, just to clear up some stuff that I feel might need straightening out.
First off, this is NOT THE END OF THE FIC. If the amount of hints I've dropped towards future events and plot points left hanging right now weren't enough to show that, I think me spelling it out point-blank should be.
First-and-a-half off, this fic will ABSOLUTELY come back. This isn't gonna be like Nephalem, I and a certain legend who's been working with me every step of the way through this fic (they know who they are) have more than enough plans in place for where this fic is going to go, and that's not even counting how the canon segment of this fic will be adapted.
Second off, in case anyone's doubting the identity of Rias' mother... look back to before Raylix left the Gremory Clan, and look at the last person he had sex with before that event. And remember that that sex scene took place a couple of weeks before he left. I feel like I've put down enough with that for you to easily pick up.
Thirdly, I said I'd explain the whole Alpha/Omega thing going on with Lilith and Eve in Chapter 31, and now here it is. With the related sex in this chapter to add the necessary context, the Alpha and Omega bit is a shout out to the way the legend has been helping me organize... a lot of things, but in this specific situation, the planned harem for Raylix.
It isn't the first time that I had a girl refer to themselves as the Alpha among my DxD stories, but the reason why Eve's the "Omega" instead of the Beta is a result of how she's more of a follower to Lilith's leader in sex, and she's become both Raylix and Lilith's lover at once.
Likewise, she's set to become the harem's manager, since she's not a fighter or as influential as either of them. This is why going forward, Eve might or might not be the one taking the lead in raising Yue.
Fourth, finally and biggest of all... I've heard your concerns about how all the powers and equipment and everything of every major player in this fic (of which there are a lot right now, I'll be the first to admit that), so I think with this fic finally reaching its temporary stopping point, I should put together a small (relatively) list of every big character and the powers they have, just so we're all on the same page at the end of this first saga, and going forward.
So, going from the least relevant player right now and working our way up:

NOW, on the aforementioned bombshell PLUS all that info I just dumped on you, it's NOW time to (temporarily) end! GOODNIGHT!
