First Demonic Dragon

Abaddon was expecting the girls to have ssort of question for him, or maybe even been burning up with jealousy.

Instead, they took him completely by surprise and embraced him without warning.

"...I will never complain from your touch, but I must confess that you're takinga bit by surprise."

Ayaana continued to rub her face onto Abaddon's bare chest like a cat as she squeezed him tightly.

"It's been over a month since we've seen you upright, you know? Everything else comes second to that fact right now, dear."

Abaddon smiled as he wrapped his arms around the girls tenderly and pulled them in even closer.

Though he was asleep, he still undoubtedly missed them too.

Their tender and innocent moment was suddenly cut short when the girls untied the strings on his black swim trunks and slipped their hand inside.

"…Babe."

"W-We just want to hold it!" Ayaana said defensively.

"Our entire family is out here! Plus Gulban!" Abaddon reminded with a hissing whisper.

"S-So?! Your body is tall and wide and… m-muscular and-"

"Babe."

Ayaana shook her head firmly and wiped away the drool that had formed without her knowledge.

"A-Anyway, they can't see us from this position so it's fine! Now just shut up and let this happen!"

"You sound like a boyscout troop leader."

"Y-You make us sound like such predators!"

It should be well documented that the girls were planning to plié their husband with alcohol for their own nefarious purposes.

Though it isn't as if he would have objected or attempted to dissuade them, because he was equally depraved and hardly ever said no to anything that they were into.

Abaddon and Ayaana shared a small bit of laughter in that moment- their shared depraved need for each other always acting as a source of reassurance and lightness in odd moments.

In the midst of their embrace, Abaddon noticed a familiar pair of eyes boring into his back.

He didn't even need to turn around to see who it was and know the kind of condition she was in.

"So… you let her live then?"

The girls poked out their shared lips in a pout. "What do you think of us..? Of course we wouldn't kill the mother of our precious… ah, that's right… we owe the lives of two of our children to her."

The girls' relationships with Thea and Thrudd were slightly different in nature.

Thea was raised without a mother by her single father, so when Lailah and Bekka caround they were instantly cemented as mother-figures.

Thrudd however was raised by her mother, and so when she and her father finally got in contact, she kept a noticeable distance between herself and her father's new wives.

It was something that tended to hurt Ayana's feelings sometimes, but they never tried to push the issue.

After all, you cannot make a child want to have a relationship with you, such a thing must cnaturally over time.

Nevertheless, they still loved her just the sas they did any of their children.

Their only hope was that things would get better with time.

"So… since she still draws breath, I can only assyou've all cto ssort of consensus?"

The girls smiled somewhat thoughtfully as they tightened their grip on their husband's body.

"Forgive us… but do you mind if we save all of that for later…? We would like to selfishly only think about our relationship for the tbeing."

"What are you apologizing for? I see nothing wrong with that request at all." He smiled.

An hour later, Abaddon lie among the bodies of all ten women on the lake itself.

Through Tatiana's power, a simple boat had been created from the waves that was large enough to hold all of the lovers despite their height and sizes.

They simply lay amongst the waves and let the boat rock them gently to the sound of laughter and merrymaking coming from the shore.

Despite the implications and setting, nothing dirty seemed to be going on in the boat except for the occasional bit of groping and or kissing.

Nothing seemed like it was capable of breaking this happy mood until Bekka suddenly sat up with a start at seemingly no provocation.

"Foods done!"

Audible groans escaped the mouths of everyone on the boat.

"What?!"

Lailah: "We're having a nice time; can't you just wait for a moment?"

Erica: "The food will be there when we go back to shore, but for now let's just be present and enjoy the moment, hm?"

Lisa: "Here, I'll even make room for you by our husband so just clay right here."

Abaddon pointed to the empty space with his tail and waited.

Bekka looked at the beach longingly before shaking her head hard to free her mind of savory thoughts.

She crawled along the sea of bodies to reach her husband and immediately buried her head in his neck.

"You guys were right… this is so nic-"

*From the shore* Darius: "I must admit, you put your foot in this, Miss Imani. This flavor damn-near knockedout my draws…"

Imani: "Fufufu, thank you, Darius, you know I always take care of y'all."

Darius: "You're wasted on a skinny little bloke like Asmodeus, I tell you that."

Asmodeus: "Are you hitting on my wife right in front ofyou shrimpy little shit...?"

Darius: "I have no such inclinations; just know I'm going to start showing up in your wing of the manor four nights a week for dinner and I don't want to hear you say shit about it."

Yara: "All of the women you married and none of them can cook, Uncle Darius? Surely that can't be the case."

Darius: "…Six nights a week."

Kirina: "I could probably make something like this. You're welcto join Hajun and I at any time, Darius."

All: "…."

Darius: "Ahem! Uhm, w-where's that hot sauce??"

Bekka's stomach grumbled audibly in the boat, and everyone turned their heads towards her instinctively.

Feeling slightly embarrassed, her fluffy ears began to droop and she hid her face desperately within Abaddon's hair.

"…Go ahead, my love." Abaddon chuckled.

"YES! Thank you!" Bekka stood up immediately with her tail wagging like a propeller.

She gave everyone on the boat a short kiss before sprouting her wings and taking off- completely unwilling to wait for Tati to steer the boat back to shore.

Abaddon sat up chuckling not long after she left. "I guess we should head back in as well then?"

One by one, the rest of the girls sat up and nodded with their own helpless smiles as they slowly floated back to the rest of the family.

While the girls went to join the adults, Abaddon took a small detour and joined his children instead.

More specifically, Thrudd and Nubia.

When Abaddon suddenly sat down next to his daughter with no warning, he admittedly caught her by surprise.

Because the earlier events from the butcher's shop were still fresh in her mind, she wasn't really sure what to expect from him now that he was coming to talk to her.

"Dad..?"

"Why so surprised? Is it odd ofto cand sit with my daughter?"

"W-Well no, but-"

"She's moping because she feels as though you have grown uninterested with her and are perhaps going to replace her with another favorite child." Nubia volunteered.

"N-Nubbs!"

"She's been like this for the past couple of hours." Nubia just continued to spill all of her sister's secrets without a care in the world.

Abaddon ruffled the hair of both of his daughter's affectionately and wrapped them under his arms. "I have no favorite daughters; I love all of you just the sand none of you could ever replace the other."

He kissed both girls on the forehead before he nudged Thrudd affectionately. "And since I am sorry for upsetting you, I'll grant you a small symbol of apology. Are you still interested in being the final hunt?"

Immediately, Thrudd's eyes lit up like stars and she becnoticeably excited. "I-I thought you said I couldn't do it because it was too dangerous!?"

"That is true, but I believe you can handle the situation accordingly... provided you allow your little brother to accompany you."

Thrudd looked to another table at Straga who was busy watching a livestream of the Euphrates exam and chewing on a piece of white bread absentmindedly.

"Y-You mean it!? Don't joke, dad!"

"You have to be ready at 4 a.m. tomorrow, kiddo. Your brother too. Neither of you can be late or we'll proceed as planned."

"We will be! I promise!" Thrudd nodded her head so hard that Abaddon began to worry it might fall off.

"Alright then, your mothers and I will be watching."

Thrudd happily wrapped her father's neck in a hug that was strong enough to crush metal. "Thank you thank you thank youu!!!"

Abaddon smiled as he patted her on the back, secretly wishing her the best of luck already.

He prepared to start giving her a few tips and notes for tomorrow when out of the corner of his eye, Sif began approaching him.

And he knew before she even spoke to him that his tspent avoiding their situationship was nearly up.
