Sometimes,
it just didn’t pay to get out of bed, no matter how badly you
had to take a leak.
***
Lilian
was woken up by the sound of screaming.
“MMRPH!
MHRGGLEEMPHHH!”
It
was extremely muffled screaming, but screaming nonetheless. It was
also very familiar screaming.
“Beloved!”
Jumping
out of bed, Lilian rushed into the living room, where she presumed
the screams had come from.
“Don’t
worry, Beloved! I’m coming to rescue you! I’ll―eh?”
Lilian
didn’t know what to expect when she arrived in the living room.
An intruder trying to kidnap her Beloved? An assassin trying to kill
her Beloved? A crazy psychopath wielding a spear that always struck a
fatal blow by reversing the nature of causality? She didn’t
know. It could have been anything, so Lilian prepared for the
unexpected.
Unfortunately,
no amount of preparation could have helped her come to terms with
what she saw in that living room.
The
first thing she noticed was that, indeed, Kevin was in danger--well,
potential danger. He was being smothered by a large pair of boobs.
This marshmallow hell was the result of having a woman with long
black hair and wearing a white toga laying on top of him. Lilian
watched as Kevin kicked and floundered and struggled underneath the
woman, who seemed to be freaking out just as much, if not more, than
her beloved mate.
“Hawawawawawa!
Hwawawawawawawa!”
Like
that.
Lilian
looked at the next person in this unprecedented scenario—the
woman in the French maid outfit who was running around her mate and
the woman, making a complete fool of herself.
“Oh,
dear! M-My Lady! P-please get off him! You’re going to
suffocate him!”
“Hawawawawa!
HAWA!”
However,
it was the last person who truly caught her attention, a stunning and
vivacious young woman who looked to be the same age as her. Long
strands of hair like silk the color of twilight framed a face that
looked nearly identical to her own--all except for one important
aspect.
The
eyes. While Lilian’s eyes had often been described as innocent
and pure, this girl’s eyes were like the incarnation of lust,
sex made manifest. Unlike Lilian’s vibrant irises that reminded
anyone looking at them of a fairytale princess, the eyes of the vixen
standing several feet away were an alluring crimson. Those eyes
exuded a sexuality that was unlike anything that Lilian would ever
see in another person. With just a single glance, those eyes could
capture a person, enthralling them with the promise of unfathomable
pleasure.
Of
course, that was not what captured Lilian’s attention.
She
knew these people.
“Mom,
Kirihime, Iris! What are you all doing here?”
All
movement ceased. Even Kevin stopped struggling, though that was more
due to him losing consciousness than because of Lilian. Camellia
stopped floundering and looked up, her enormous tatas still
smothering Kevin. Kirihime was also brought to an abrupt halt upon
hearing Lilian’s voice.
Iris
had the most overzealous reaction of all.
“LILIAN!”
“W-wait!
Iris! Don’t―GOOF!”
For
a second, Lilian wondered if this was how Kevin felt very time she
glomped him. If so, she totally needed to apologize for that. Being
on the receiving end of a glomp was not fun.
Lilian
found herself lying on her back. Iris lay on top of her, smothering
her with affection.
“Oh,
Lilian! I’ve missed you so much!”
Iris
rubbed her face in her sister’s cleavage. “I can’t
believe we’ve finally found you!”
“I-Iris!
S-sis! St-ahn! Stop it! C-cut it out!”
Iris
did stop. She looked up, her chin resting between Lilian’s
breasts. Her eyes leaked tears, which descended down her cheeks like
glistening moon drops. “I’ve missed you so much. Do you
know how long I’ve gone without seeing you? Three months! Three
whole months without being able to spend time with my darling
Lily-pad.”
“U-ugh.”
Lilian’s
cheeks became flames of red. “Please don’t call me that
ever again. That nickname was fine when we were children, but…
no.
Just no. And you can’t do this anymore. I have a―”
her
eyes widened. “―KEVIN!”
Before
Iris knew what was happening, Lilian threw her off, sending her
crashing to the floor. Lilian jumped to her feet, red hair whipping
about her like intense flames caught in a strong wind. Green eyes
zeroed in on her mate’s prone form before she rushed over to
her mother.
“Mom!
Get! Off! My! Mate!”
“Mate?”
“Eh?
“Hawa?”
***
Kevin
awoke to the sound of voices.
“I
can’t believe you three came all the way here. How did you even
find me?”
“What
do you mean how did we find you? Isn’t it obvious? Kotohime
sent us a message.”
“Damn
that woman.”
“H-hawa…
p-please
don’t be angry, Lilian. Camellia…
Camellia
was just worried. Camellia wanted to see her daughter again…”
“What
she said. Only without the daughter part. And not in third person.”
“Please
do not be too upset with us, Lady Lilian. We have missed you very
much. All of us were incredibly worried when you disappeared.”
“Ha…
all
right, all right. I understand. Look, I’m sorry for vanishing
like that. It was never my intention to make any of you worry. I was
just…
I’m
sick and tired of having every aspect of my life, from how I’m
supposed to act to who I mate with decided for me.”
“Hey,
we understand perfectly. Well, I understand. I don’t want you
mating with some asswad who thinks he’s hot shit just because
his old man’s the Bodhisattva.”
“Lady
Iris…
p-please
don’t swear so much.”
“Hmph.
Whatever.”
Kevin
slowly opened his eyes, which felt like they’d been glued shut
with rubber cement, and was greeted to the sight of two boobs covered
by a white T-shirt.
“Lilian.”
“Ah!
Kevin! How are you feeling?”
Kevin
made a face. “I can’t see your face.”
Lilian’s
smile was one of definite amusement. “I can’t see yours
either.”
Sitting
up, Kevin soon noticed several things about his new situation. First,
he and Lilian were on the couch. Second, they weren’t alone.
The
first woman to catch his attention was the one wearing a French maid
outfit, if only because the entire concept of a French maid being in
his house made him do a double-take. She looked sort of similar to
Kotohime. She had the same eyes, the same skin tone, the same facial
features. Really, there were only two differences between this woman
and Kotohime…
aside
from the fact that one wore a maid costume and the other a kimono.
The first difference was that this woman had shorter hair with a
single antenna-like strand poking out of her crown.
The
second difference was that her boobs were smaller.
Not
that smaller boobs meant much here. That was sort of like comparing
watermelons to cantaloupes.
She
also had three tails waving about behind her, and her fox ears seemed
a little perkier than Kotohime’s.
Shifting
his gaze from the maid, Kevin’s eyes immediately caught sight
of the next woman in line. It was beginning to feel a bit redundant,
but this woman was also very beautiful. Her features sort of reminded
him of Lilian, only a bit more mature—at least as far as facial
structure went. Her smile and the unusually naive light in her eyes
as she looked at him presented a startling contrast with her womanly
body.
The
body of a woman with the eyes of a child.
Her
boobs were also big. Really big. Like, as large as his head.
She
had five tails.
The
last person his gaze locked onto was a girl who looked so much like
Lilian that it startled him. Everything about this girl, from the way
her face was shaped to the sensual curves of her incredible body and
even her two tails, reminded Kevin of his mate. There were just two
differences: Her black hair and her feline-like crimson eyes that
seemed to seductively whisper “come and get me, if you can.”
He
shook his head, blinked, and then looked at the girl again. For a
second he thought that she had…
but
it must have been his imagination.
“So…
Sleeping
Beauty finally awakens, I see.”
The
raven-haired succubus’
curved
lips seemed to seep amusement.
Kevin
blushed at the “sleeping beauty”
comment,
but just because this girl embarrassed him with her words didn’t
mean he was willing to put up with them. Two could play at this game.
“W-who
the heck are you?”
his
voice cracked.
Way
to go, Kevin. You sounded so manly just now.
The
vixen smirked at him. Kevin gulped. She placed a hand on her chest,
her index finger absently brushing against her right nipple, which he
could see through the fabric of her clothes. “Why, I am just
Lily-pad’s most humble and sexy sister. Nothing more, nothing
less.”
“I
thought I told you not to call me that!”
a
thoroughly mortified Lilian spat.
“And
I don’t think humble and sexy can be used in the same
sentence,”
Kevin
muttered, doing what he could to regain his wits, what little he had.
“So, you guys are Lilian’s family, then?”
“No.
We’re Lilian’s fairy godparents.”
Iris’
sarcastic
reply was met with a glare from Lilian and Kevin.
“Y-yes,
we’re Lilian’s family,”
Camellia
tried to play the diplomat. “The girl with black hair is
Camellia’s daughter, Iris, and the person next to Camellia is
Camellia’s maid, Kirihime.”
“Uh
huh…”
Kevin
eyed the kitsune strangely. “And I’m guessing that makes
you Camellia?”
“H-hawa?”
Camellia
seemed startled. “That’s right. How did you know?”
“Lucky
guess,”
Kevin
said, his voice dryer than a desert. Lilian and Iris facepalmed at
the same time.
***
A
problem arose with the arrival of Lilian’s family. Actually,
their arrival came with many problems. However, on that night, one
particular issue stood out the most.
Sleeping
arrangements.
The
Swift residence wasn’t that large. It had two bedrooms, a
living room connected to a kitchen, two bathrooms, and an office
attached to the master bedroom. It was an apartment meant for two
people.
Fortunately,
Kevin had a solution to this problem.
“I’m
sorry I don’t have a bed or anything for you to sleep on,”
Kevin
said as he put several sheets, blankets, and pillows on the couch.
Once finished, he stood up and looked at Lilian’s raven-haired
sister. “This is the best I can offer right now. If you want,
though, this weekend, we can go shopping for some furniture. I’m
sure we can find something more comfortable. Maybe a nice futon or
something…”
Iris
shrugged. “Meh, while I’m used to sleeping on a
comfortable bed, so long as I’m with my Lily-pad, it doesn’t
where I sleep.”
“Would
you stop calling me that!”
a
discomposed Lilian hissed. “Inari-blessed, it’s like
you’re purposefully trying to embarrass me!”
“Aw!”
Lilian
suddenly found herself caught within the fierce and overly
affectionate embrace of her sister. “You know it’s never
my intention to embarrass you. You’re just so adorable that I
can’t help but want to give you a cute nickname.”
The
redhead’s face flushed deeply as Iris rubbed her cheek against
Lilian’s. “W-would you stop holding me like this! And
besides, I can’t sleep with you.”
“Eh?”
That
stopped Iris in her tracks. She held Lilian at arms’ length,
staring into the other vixen’s eyes, her own wide with shock.
“What do you mean you can’t sleep with me? Why can’t
you?”
“B-because
I have a mate.”
Lilian
peered over Iris’
shoulder
to look at Kevin, who watched the pair with a raised eyebrow. “I-I
always sleep with Kevin these days, so…”
“Oh…”
Iris
shuddered. “I…
I
see…
hehehe,
right, I-I guess that makes sense…
he
is your mate, after all…”
Her
grip on Lilian’s shoulders tightened, prompting the other girl
to squirm.
“I-Iris,
y-you’re kinda hurting me…”
“Am
I? Hehehe…
my
bad…
kukuku…”
As
Kevin stood there, shuddering at the sound of Iris’
laugh,
which was way creepier than Lilian’s, he couldn’t help
but think his life was about to get hectic again.
***
In
the end, Iris had gone to sleep on the couch.
Kevin
had finally relented on his “don’t enter my mom’s
room”
policy
and allowed Camellia to sleep in it. He had also apologized profusely
to Kirihime for not having anywhere for her to sleep. The
three-tailed kitsune had assured him that she would be fine, and
thanked him for his concern and hospitality. After that, he and
Lilian went back to bed.
“I’m
really sorry about this,”
Lilian
apologized. She was straddling his body. Her arms on either side of
his head kept her from falling on him, and her hair created a curtain
that trailed across the bed like fiery threads of silk.
“What
are you apologizing for?”
“For
all this, for what happened tonight.”
Lilian
didn’t make any grand gestures towards the living room, but
Kevin didn’t need them to know what she was talking about. “I
should have realized my family would find me eventually. While
Kotohime is my maid and bodyguard, she’s still a vassal of the
Pnevma clan. She would have told them my location sooner or later.”
Kevin
gave Lilian a reassuring smile. “It’s fine. I don’t
really mind meeting your family. Actually, I was kind of hoping that
I would at least get to meet your mom and sister at some point.”
“Really?”
