Author's Notes: This took longer to post because I didn't check the word count for this segment after I wrote it originally. This was the first complete thing I wrote on my phone before I got used to the new format and overcompensated with the words. After another read I ended up making some changes and trimming the fat but ended up keeping most of what I wrote with only one scene getting cut out. Anyways enjoy!
~O~
His moment of silent introspection got interrupted by Natalie addressing Ezraphel "by the way, can't help but notice the new wardrobe."
"You like?" the Lilim gave a little twirl with the aid of some levitation magic.
"I do," Natalie nodded. "I can't imagine anything looking bad on you but this really suits you."
"Fufufu, it was actually what I originally wore when I first came to Earth."
"Really? I guess that makes sense then."
Then her eyes zeroed in on him with all the pressure of a self absorbed critique causing Stanley to involuntarily straighten.
'Uh-oh.'
"Can't say the same for the birthday boy though" she commented while giving him a once over.
Ezraphel, ever the bastion of support, spoke up in his defense "I think he looks rather dashing though."
"I can see what you're going for but just because it looks good on him doesn't mean it suits him. I mean, can you really imagine Stan here as some highborn noble?"
"Of cour-" she began to answer only to abruptly pause as she considered the question while giving him a look of consideration "hmm…"
"Hey…"
"Well, I mean…yeah no, I see your point."
"Hey…"
Ignoring Stanley's weak protest, Ezraphel looked to Natalie "however, in my defense I was going with a theme."
"It still works," Natalie admitted "as long as he doesn't talk."
"You know I am super stoked you guys are having this moment at my expense but can you wrap it up? Me and Ez have shit to do" Stanley cut through the conversation with all the irritation of someone tired of listening to people giving unwanted criticism about him right in front of his face. "Or should I just leave you two alone and go do my own thing?"
While Natalie rolled her eyes at him Ezraphel cleared her throat "while my Stanley is out of line, he does make a point."
"Sure, sure," Natalie shrugged, "see you when you get back, I'm gonna go to blow off some steam at that spa place."
"Hoping for a Happy Ending?" Ezraphel teased with a smile.
"Yep" Natalie answered without reservation, popping the 'p'.
"Ugh" Stanley groaned.
Natalie ignored his not-so-subtle reaction to tell Ezraphel "don't get too sidetracked with that one."
"No promises," she giggled.
"Whelp, have fun you two" she stated before walking away with Ana in tow.
Stanley watched the two leave with furrowed brows just as Ezraphel sidled up to him and wrapped her arms around his own while bending down to press her chest on his shoulder and back.
Stanley hummed at the sensation before asking "so where to first?"
She rested her head on his shoulder "Let us take in the sights first. I'm sure you have many questions and I am nothing if not a gracious host willing to indulge."
"If you say so" he shrugged and they began walking.
As the two explored Stanley's attempt to maintain a neutral expression became more precarious the longer they travelled. Ezraphel had them walking around for what seemed like hours visiting many places of interest and doing her best acting as a tour guide. It helped that according to her through her mother the Royal Makai was turned into something of a cultural center with a heavy emphasis on tourism.
According to Ezraphel her mother envisioned a kingdom where she and her family would be able to welcome and guide visitors around the kingdom itself. It didn't quite work out that way as the Overlord was too busy to do such things and most of her daughters left the Royal Makai to strike out on their own but the spirit of it still remained. One of Ezraphel's sisters was the minister of tourism in the makai and many who ruled their kingdoms did offer certain guests personal tours of their domain.
Ezraphel admitted she never really envisioned herself as a ruler but she did do a brief stint as a tour guide in the makai. It explained why the tour felt oddly structured and Ezraphel herself seemed, dare he say, professional. The image was helped by the fact that despite the name Makailand the place was not exactly like an amusement park with a hentai theme. For all intents and purposes Makailand seemed like any part of a medieval city albeit a one with hentai elements.
The buildings weren't props but functional, the streets seemed deliberate in their layout and even the various tourist traps seemed rooted in history that Ezraphel was all too happy to explain in great detail. Of course what really sold the illusion of this place were the people. He initially dismissed them as mere NPCs considering they were supposedly non-sentient Golems but they didn't act like blank faced pseudo robots standing around like props or listlessly walking around with no destination in mind.
Throughout the tour Stanley observed the traffic of individuals and groups as they went about their business. They looked like a diverse group of people from their appearance to their expressions and especially their mannerisms. As someone who spent his time observing people he could tell a lot of work was put into them.
'Not bad.'
Pausing in his thoughts for the moment Stanley realized how quiet it's been and a glance to the woman beside him revealed her to be silently watching him with rapt attention. He couldn't help but be reminded of their first months together when he would just sit back and observe Ezraphel's reactions to the most mundane things.
'So that's what that feels like.'
Deciding to break the silence Stanley posed a question "so you built this?"
"Yup!" she chirped.
"By yourself?"
"Well, I had help from Natalie and Anastasia" she admitted.
"This the entire Makai Realm?"
"Pfft" Ezraphel couldn't help but laugh at his words "as much as I adore your confidence in my capabilities I am nowhere near proficient enough to recreate the entirety of the Royal Makai Realm which is the size of a country, I'm not like my sister."
"Which one?"
"Esmeralda."
"Uh…"
"The Queen of Hearts."
"Ah, yeah that makes sense." He nodded and looked around before adding "I thought it was like a city."
"Hm, while it did start out as a city, a fortress city to be exact, mother expanded its size during her rule."
Stanley mentally smacked his head "right, because it's a demon realm, I was thinking it was like an actual place."
"It is an actual place, Stanley."
"You know what I mean" he deadpanned.
"Fufufufu."
Rolling his eyes he kept things going with another question "alright, then which part of the Royal Makai did you recreate?"
"Just the parts I enjoyed and want you to experience" she glanced about "it has been some time since I returned home so this isn't an exact replica of what it may look like currently."
"How long has it been?"
"Seventeen years give or take" she shrugged "I try to keep in touch with mother and father when I can but…"
She trailed off into an awkward silence until Stanley decided to switch topics "so how big is this place exactly?"
"Hm, about the size of a moderate town give or take."
"You managed to create all that in the span of a few weeks?"
"No, what you see before you is the fruits of several months of careful labor and planning."
"As well as a few weeks of crunch," he added.
"Interesting choice of vernacular…" she couldn't help but point out "what does it mean?"
"It's when people do mandatory overtime work to meet a deadline which leads to burnout and health issues."
"Ah" she nodded "then I suppose that would describe what I went through."
"I'd tell you that you didn't have to do all that but…"
"I am a grown woman and it is my choice ?" she hazarded a guess.
"Actually I was gonna say that it would belittle the work you put into creating this place" he once again looked around. At this point he completely loosened his guarded expression to openly marvel at his surroundings "seriously Ez, this is…"
"Amazing? Incredible? Wonderful? Remarkable? Extraordinary? Astonishing?" Ezraphel lists with all the smugness of someone enjoying the rare moment of having her partner, who had gotten so used to her antics that he remained increasingly unflappable, genuinely astonished.
Stanley's thoughts on the other hand veered in another direction. See he already knew that Ezraphel was powerful, there was no shortage of times where he mentioned how he thought that she was basically a demi-god with reality warping abilities especially in the confines of their home. That said, after getting familiar with magical theory (in spite of Ezraphel's lack of teaching capabilities) he now understood a bit of the nuance that went into her casual acts of magic. There's actually quite a bit of preparation that needs to be done before she can just snap her fingers and have random shit happen in defiance of the laws of physics.
So walking through what appeared to be a whole ass city ripped straight from her homeland complete with near perfect facsimile of people Stanley's mind could only conjure one word to describe the visual.
"Insane" he settled on with furrowed brows.
"Eh?" His answer caused the Lilim to blink in mild astonishment "insane?" she tilted her head.
"Yeah, absolutely fucking mental."
"Hm, I'm not so sure I like that description Stanley."
"I didn't mean it in a bad way" he defended "it's just…" he trailed off as they turned a corner providing a perfect opportunity for him to showcase what he meant "look at this shit."
They were now walking in what he could only describe as a flea market straight out of the medieval era except much cleaner and more lewd but just as chaotic.
"Ah, this would be the market district," she informed him.
"I figured" he muttered while looking around.
"This is actually perfect, there are some things I wanted to get for later!"
Usually Stanley would be very adverse to wading through such crowd traffic but as the two explored he once again found himself in awe at the woman pulling him along. For her part Ezraphel was all smiles and excitement as she pulled him along to visit the various stalls and explain the products on sale. This time however she lost the 'professional' edge maintained for most of the tour so far and slipped into something much more personable.
He suspected the reason for this change was the fact that she was interacting with people now but it felt different from how she normally would do it. He realized why that is when she started calling the merchants by name. Not only did she have names for them but the way how she interacted and reacted to them were all different just as how they reacted to her and him were varied in a way that he once again found.
What were the chances that Ezraphel based the Golems on people she knew?
He'd say it was pretty fucking obvious but the scope of this thought didn't really hit him until one of them started to regale him with the story of one of Ezraphel's more embarassing misadventure. Apparently this particular merchant, a Holstaur by the name of Linota, she knew for a few years and by their conversation she wasn't originally from the Makai. The more they talked the more Stanley came to believe that not only was this Golem based on a person but she might actually be sentient.
When they finally left Linota Stanley couldn't help but ask "Ez, what was that?"
"Hm? Oh, Linota? Um, you can disregard what she said about-"
He decided to cut to the chase and ask "is she sapient?"
That caught the Lilim short as she lost the easygoing smile "wh-what? No! She's not…" she sighed "she's not sapient Stanley she's…I may have gone a bit overboard with her programming since I-since I knew her."
She said this with a dour expression she did an admirable job of hiding in spite of how expressive she usually was. He didn't need to be a genius or empath to see that the woman had a major case of homesickness. That sounded like a thing that's just waiting to become a problem in the future. Now how he was going to help her with that he did not know but he had this feeling that the solution (obvious as it seemed to him) was not something he's going to like.
So in lieu of a solution he chose to give her a hug which she returned after a full body shudder.
'At least she's not crying.'
And he could sense that her grief wasn't all encompassing so that spoke well of her mental state…for now.
Eventually she separated from him and while she managed to keep in her tears she still wiped her eyes "look at me, getting all sad and dour on your special day."
"It's okay."
"No it's…you shouldn't have to put up with that, not now at least."
His brows furrowed "hey!" he grasped the sides of her face forcing her to look at him "don't apologize for feeling homesick Ez."
God knows he'd feel the same way in her situation, maybe even worse all things considered.
"Okay" she breathed in and plastered a smile back on her face "shall we continue?"
He looked at her for a moment before offering his elbow "sure."
With her grin becoming a bit more honest she took the offered arm and once again latched onto him.
Later…
As someone who has been reviewing videogames for years Stanley had developed an eye for game design and while it's usually not conducive to compare real life to a videogame, what was Makailand if not a type of open world sandbox? Even the Golems, as realistic as they seemed, were basically just NPCs at the end of the day. That said, as far as 'videogames' went Makailand was a masterclass in game design. He already glazed Ezraphel with his initial reaction but even then once his 'critic brain' turned on he found a few cracks that prevented the picture from being perfect.
For instance he noted the lack of any male Golems which made sense since mamono magic couldn't make anything male outside of illusions or phallic objects. He didn't bother voicing his observation given how obvious the answer to that query was and it would only serve to cause unnecessary embarrassment. He could tell by the way how the Golems moved and their placement that Ezraphel was trying to make up for the lack of men.
'Pretty sure we would have seen at least a couple dozen sex acts by now.'
He was also sure they would have participated in at least three of them too because while Stanley would like to believe that mamono in the Makai would have more self control than in a place like Lescatie he wasn't delusional enough to believe they were any less horny. In fact Ezraphel proved this to be the case when she explained the kind of things that would be going on in certain locations. Also the longing looks the Golems gave him whenever she decided to do some public displays of affection which to him seemed mean.
That wasn't the end of his critical observations however as he turned his attention to the wares of the various vendors, specifically the produce. Most of them were just corrupted variants of stuff he'd find in the local supermarket, as explained by Ezraphel herself, but then there was other stuff he'd never seen before and mistook for something she cooked up on a demon realm farm.
Thankfully this turned out to not be the case and the unrecognized produce turned out to be corrupted variants from foreign countries. You'd think given how experimental she was with her meals that he should have figured she would go the extra mile to get foreign produce for this but in his defense he never really bothered to pay that much attention to what the stuff looked like before it went on his plate let alone what it looked like corrupted.
That said he nearly had a conniption when she mentioned buying them from freaking Whole Foods considering the sheer number of merchants in the market but she assured him that she was reasonable with her purchases. When that didn't work she mentioned Natalie and Amelia footing the bill via payment for their wardrobe which he reluctantly gave a pass since it was her money. He made a note to keep a thorough eye on her expenses once her business properly took off.
Moving on, he noted something in her words that had him ask a question "you didn't learn farming?" he asked with mild shock "how come?"
At that she turned up her nose "hmph, farming is for peasants and I am a Princess, Stanley."
"Uh-huh" he gave her a lidded stare for a moment before continuing "couldn't see a way how being a farmer would appeal to your would-be husband huh?"
"...yeah."
He shook his head a bit at that "unbelievable."
"Well, am I wrong?" she demanded.
"I dunno" he began dryly "I can definitely imagine you in cowboy boots, short jeans and a tight flannel shirt tied off to show your midriff."
"And after working the fields all day getting all hot and sweaty I get to ride you like a bucking bronco all night long~?" Ezraphel continued seamlessly in a steamy tone of voice.
They both paused at this with expressions of consideration and a singular thought of Ezraphel dressed like a cowboy riding Stanley.
"...I think we might have strayed a bit from the original subject here" Stanley broke the silence.
"And yet I find the visual to be most appealing" Ezraphel added before a gleam entered her eye "and so do you~"
Stanley sighed as he looked down at his erection which was somehow made even more visible by his specialized clothing.
"And I was doing so well too" he sighed in resignation.
"Aw, I find your stubbornness to be your most admirable quality Stanley" Ezraphel cooed while pinching his cheek a little "but if we are to continue then that needs to be taken care of."
He rubbed the bridge of his nose "don't gotta tell me twice-OKAY! Let's fuck."
There was a sharp yet delighted intake of air "right now?"
Stanley opened his mouth but paused to glance about the area as he couldn't help but notice the lack of noise. Turns out every single person in the immediate area was looking at them. Some tried to be inconspicuous, most were blatant but all were some degree of red in the face and in anticipation.
"Right now but maybe not right here" he amended.
"Are you sure?"
"Exhibitionism is not one of my kinks Ez" he deadpanned.
"Are you sure about that?" She says with a knowing look that had him tensed for a moment.
"Yes."
"Hey, don't knock it until you try it."
"..." he raised a brow as if to say "really? That's the best argument you can come with?"
"I'm just saying if there was ever a time to indulge in kinks you could not or would not do in normal circumstances now would be the time~" she trailed off leadingly with a knowing glint in her eye.
"You're not going to convince me to fuck you in front of a live audience Ez."
"Is that a challenge?"
He squinted at her "you know, I never figured you for a bully Ez."
"Eh? Why am I a bully?"
"You know, just casually flaunting the fact that you're the only woman here with a male partner in front of everyone."
Ezraphel's expression turned contemplative as her eyes swept the market. Underneath the arousal and anticipation was an undercurrent of envy, hurt and even a bit of anger within the gaze of the collective.
Seeing and sensing this made Ezraphel flinch "ah, perhaps we should find somewhere more private."
"I think that's a good idea."
A magic circle appeared beneath them and in a flash of light they were no longer in the market.
"Well, here we are."
Taking stock of their surroundings he found that they were in a random alley.
"What the hell?"
"I did say we were going somewhere more private Stanley but I never said we were going indoors."
"...you're really dead set on doing it outside aren't you?"
"Well yes but this too can be considered part of the mamono cultural experience."
"Fucking in some random alley is part of mamono culture?"
"I will have you know that this is no mere random alley Stanley, this is the Sex Alley."
"..."
"I think the name is rather self-explanatory," she added.
Stanley deadpanned at the name even as he looked around. On the surface it looked like an alley, one of the more spacious ones that was cleaner than any alley needed to be. Upon further scrutiny he found a few things present that didn't really make sense to be there. Like little rails, protruding shelves, hand holds on the walls, little stone steps large enough to be seated on. There were even little racks for clothes to be hung up on or holes for them to be rolled up and stored in.
"Yeah, so I'm guessing this isn't the only 'Sex Alley' to exist right?"
"You would be correct" she admitted "though keep in mind just because you can have sex in any alley that does not mean every alley is a Sex Alley."
"What, you guys regulate these things?"
"We do, actually."
Stanley stared at her for a moment "I am curious enough to ask why?"
"Well while it is not exactly prohibited for couples to make love in public if the mood takes them, it is discouraged to do so outside of designated areas lest they disturb the peace. I don't need to tell you what happens if a frisky couple decides to do it out in public in front of other couples."
"Orgy?"
"Exactly."
"Didn't think that kind of thing would be discouraged."
At that Ezraphel huffed "well when you think about it for a moment it does make sense. If everyone was having sex all day, every day, anywhere and at any time then society would hardly function."
That made perfect sense to him and it was one of those questions he had genuinely wondered given that the Monster Girl Encyclopedia materials (aka propaganda pieces) make it seem like demon realms were utopias that ran on love, pleasure and all that good stuff.
"How long did it take you to figure that out?"
At his question Ezraphel averted her gaze while fidgeting "th-that doesn't matter!"
"So long enough for you to be embarrassed about it" he smirked at her pout.
"A-at least it's better than some of my sisters that went on to establish their own little kingdoms without knowing this."
"Wouldn't they be taught better before it got that far?"
"They can be really stubborn about these things."
He snorted but chose not to comment on that instead going with "well it's good to know that your family sees the benefits of restraint."
In response Ezraphel bent forward to eye level with him. Her back arching erotically with the movement.
"Restraint may have its place but you still have a not-so-little problem and we have this alleyway all to ourselves~"
And now he was once again aware of his erection which hadn't gone the least bit soft.
'Whatever.'
"Shall I assume the position~?" her eyes flashed with poorly contained excitement.
Stanley looked to the Lilim 'you know what? Since we're here, let's try something different.'
"What do you recommend?"
"Oh? You're allowing me to take the lead? On your special day?"
He shrugged "you're the tour guide here. Plus isn't this place supposed to hold significant 'cultural value' even though it's just an alley people use to have sex."
"This alley was once frequented by mother and father during the early years of their marriage. They used it as a rendezvous point whenever they went out to explore the happenings of the kingdom in disguise. However the mana produced by their constant consummation was so potent that it seeped into the very foundations of the bedrock and remained as such for centuries. Couples who consummate in this place are said to experience the greatest of pleasures and a deepening of their bonds."
"Wow" he looked around "and it's just…open to the public like this?"
"Far be it for us to restrict something that will help couples deepen their relationship, Stanley."
"Right, of course" he rolled his eyes.
"Besides, it is not the only place 'blessed' by mother and father. Though it does hold sentimental value for them."
"Sentimental value huh?" he muttered to himself as he looked around trying to see it but no, it was just a nice looking alley.
'Maybe if those magical effects were in play I would see it as something more special.'
Speaking of…
"You didn't enchant the place to have the same kind of effect as the original?"
At this the Lilim pursed her lips "unfortunately I am unable to replicate such potent magic, not that I would want to in this instance."
"Why not?"
"I would rather us 'bless' this place ourselves."
'Should've seen that coming.'
"Oh yeah?"
"It seems fittingly romantic" she grabbed the sides of her face and started swooning "don't you?"
'I think that shit's fucking weird actually.'
He didn't voice his thoughts but that didn't stop Ezraphel from noticing and asked "you don't agree?"
"I mean, not really?" he shrugged, "I know mamono culture revolves around sex and your parents are like celebrities but I can't help but find this to be a little ridiculous."
Ezraphel took a moment to think about it "I can somewhat see your point but it's not as if Earth doesn't have its fair share of similar ridiculousness."
"Oh I am very much aware but it's not even really about turning a spot where your parents used to fuck into a tourist attraction. At least there's a practical reason for people to go there outside of it just being a place where your parents did it."
He might be calm about it on the surface but internally Stanley was reeling at the general absurdity of the premise here.
"Then what is it that you find so unappealing?"
"I don't like the idea that you believe we need to emulate your parents to have a successful relationship."
Ezraphel recoiled at the sheer frustration radiating from him causing her to sputter a bit "that's not…right" she stated slowly with a hint of confusion.
"Ez, you want us to have sex in an alley whose selling point is that it was the place where your mom and dad fucked each other back in the day."
"I know how it looks" Ezraphel interrupted with a complicated expression "but that wasn't…I mean…" she trailed off with a look of contemplation.
Seeing this Stanley continued "look, I'm sure your folks are good people but I am not looking to follow in their footsteps, not like this."
It wasn't even necessarily because of the whole having sex in this particular alley that got to him but the implications. Ezraphel obviously admired her parents a great deal and so it wasn't beyond the realm of possibility that she would want to emulate them. After all, her parents have been together for a thousand years which was nothing to sneeze at. For Ezraphel whose dream was to have a prosperous relationship they were the ideal and that was fine with him. He hasn't met them but he can respect the hell out of people who stuck by each other for literal centuries all the while producing hellions like Ezraphel and Druella.
The thing was that Ezraphel could get lost in the sauce so to speak. During their tour when she mentioned that of all her siblings she bore the closest physical resemblance to her mother. She seemed to take some measure of pride in that and so he was worried that somewhere along the way her emulation of her mother might become a bit more literal than he was comfortable with. As for him Stanley was going to go out on a limb and guess that he didn't bear much of a resemblance to the King of the Royal Makai, either in appearance or personality. And frankly he had no interest in becoming the second coming of the Mamono Overlord's Husband. He was fine being the significantly less impressive Stanley Berkowitz.
He explained his concerns to Ezraphel who seemed both shocked and disconcerted with his words. She opened her mouth, closed it and after a moment a look of realization dawned on her face before it morphed into an expression of horror.
"Oh God, is that what I was doing?"
"Not explicitly but I had a feeling it might escalate if I didn't point it out."
"Ugh" the Lilim palmed her face in embarrassment before looking apologetically at him "I'm sorry Stanley, that wasn't my intention coming here," she sighed "this place really is a popular spot for couples."
"I get it" he stated and he meant it too "just…let's try not to be weird about it."
For a given meaning of the word considering incest was not only overlooked but encouraged in some mamono circles. Luckily even if Ezraphel didn't find the idea of doing it in a place where her parents did to be offputting, the idea that she was trying to copy her parents must have rattled her more than he thought since she said nothing for a while.
He clapped his hands "here's an idea, why don't we go somewhere that has significance to you as opposed to being 'popular' or having 'cultural significance'" he air quoted.
"Yes, we should perhaps find somewhere else.." She trailed off with pursed lips before going silent again.
Seeing the metaphorical gears spinning Stanley added "you know it could be somewhere where you imagine yourself being with me that would become our spot."
That seemed to snap the Lilim out of her as she grinned "that's it!" She rushed over to glomp him "Stanley you are a genius!"
"Yes and water is wet," he replied.
In a flash they teleported out of the alley to appear in an…alley. Unlike the Sex Alley this one was dark, cramped and in plain view of other people who passed by.
"Ez," he sighed and about to continue when he was interrupted.
"H-how Stanley, I know how this must seem but this…this is not just a random alley" she paused "w-well it is but…" she trailed off.
Stanley's eyes narrowed a little however when he spoke it was surprisingly gentle "where are we right now?"
To his mild surprise Ezraphel began to blush in embarrassment while fidgeting with anxiety. Ezraphel ended up turning her back to him as she faced the mouth of the alley watching the people pass.
"What you told me about going too far with emulating my parents" she paused. "I won't deny that I have always had this issue. I learned about the significance of the Sex Alley when I was younger. I became enamored by it, not the place itself but with the idea that a couple's love can be so strong that the place of their tryst can become a national monument. I wanted that, I wanted it so badly that I even went around trying to find my own Sex Alley."
Stanley blinked "so this place is..."
"No, this isn't where I chose" she shook her head "no, on a particular day I spent 'observing' a few couples consummating their love I found this unoccupied alley and started fantasizing about when it would be my turn with my future husband."
"Ah…"
'I see where this is going.'
He raised a brow "so you started-"
"Pleasuring myself, yes."
"Okay" he kinda shrugged at that.
"It was the first time I had ever done such a thing...i-in public that is."
"Oh?" it took a moment for the words to register "oh! Uh…"
He didn't really know what to say to that but the fact that she was being quiet told him that he needed to say something so he did.
"Okay, cool uh…" he looked around trying to figure out what he was supposed to go from here before settling on a question "how was it?"
'What the fuck Stan!?' He silently admonished himself.
Apparently that was the right question because Ezraphel turned around and while she still had red on her cheeks the grin was less bashful and more lustful.
"It was the best~" she practically moaned and it would be a lie to say that he wasn't affected by it.
"Okay, cool" he nodded "so where do we go from here?"
His words were a reminder that the ball was still in her court for now. In response her grin turned into a sharp smirk as she gave him a pointed look with narrowed eyes.
*Snap*
With a snap of her fingers, pink light enveloped her body briefly obscuring her form. Once the lightshow dissipated and he was greeted with Ezraphel but she was now wearing cowboy boots, short tight jeans and a tight flannel shirt tied off to show her midriff with the buttons opened to show off her cleavage.
Stanley felt his eye twitch in tandem with his dick before taking a deep breath to layer her with a flat expression.
'I could say I should have seen this coming, but that would be ironic.'
He shook his head "you just couldn't help yourself could you?"
In response Ezraphel giggled "guilty~"
"And I suppose me not wanting to fuck in full view of other people means nothing."
Her eyes narrowed as she pressed herself against the wall like a pinup model "there's a barrier, if it wasn't already obvious."
Looking back to the mouth of the alley he saw that none of the NPCs seem to have noticed them so small mercies. If that wasn't an indication that this was going to happen then nothing could be.
'You know what? Fuck it.'
With a flex of mana his clothes literally exploded off of him much to Ezraphel's delight.
With demonic energy leaking off of him like an aura he started stalking towards her "I hope that barrier has extra strength on the sound proofing cause you're gonna be screaming hard enough to break glass."
By the end of his words he was up in her personal space. His leaking erection was pressed against her clothed crotch which was getting a bit damp itself. In response her legs raised in an 'M' arch leaving her 'sitting' on air while she conjured a cowboy hat and placed it on his head.
"Ride em cowboy~"
And so he did.
~To Be Continued~
