"Lady Evelith! It is you, thank the gods." A man dressed in priest robes shouted, we were all not in the mood for live and let live with The White after what happened, but rather than that, we chose pompous sarcasm.
"It is! And you're welcome, we're glad I could be me, was quite easy actually, always have been." The man seemed very confused, until we flickered what little divine aura we could spare.
"Oh... I didn't know you had both passed the veil of transcendence. Apologies, forgive my ignorance."
"No matter, you mortals seem quite fond of it, we're rather fond of watching you fall over yourselves, like a bundle of puppies. Oh right, no puppies here. Adorable little balls of floof with four legs and no coordination."
'Dad, it's amazing how you did that without lying once.' Cosmael communicated telepathically between snorts of laughter.
'It's a talent don't tell your mother.'
'Mother already knows, she figured out telepathy now to, but let us keep conversations out loud shall we, before people start getting in trouble.' Eve threw us both out of the link.
We cut the small talk and moved on to the important matter, we informed him of the deal I had struck and asked him to find the man and write the official documents, as is the temples job, as well as update Vedna and to let Halsan know about the increase in monster population which I recommended be left to Babylon, the boy I met in the guildhall for training purposes and Layaera for support.
The truth was I was going to pass that message and one to Vedna through people I trusted, but this was an easy way to see if someone who didn't know our powers could be trusted.
We left quickly afterwards, desperate to escape before we were swarmed by people. We pushed as hard as possible to get back on track, but then Eve reached her limit. We had all had a rough day and I could understand why, so we set camp, had dinner then sent the girls home with the real messages before Eve and I turned in.
Which was when Eve revealed the real reason for the early end, as I lay in bed holding her she turned to face me then began kissing me. "My love there has been far too much talk of newborns and our own efforts today."
She started pulling at my clothing, until I was bare, then disrobed herself. "Eve, we sh-"
"My love, we have rested enough, I am a newly wed woman on her honeymoon that has been deprived of her husbands affections. You can do something about it, or lay there and watch while I do until you can't take it anymore."
"I wasn't making excuses though, we don't know if it could affect things, remember we are the first of our kind." I spoke sheepishly as her face flushed red and her hand slid down her own body.
"Fine... I guess you want to watch for a while." It took all of about three seconds to make me swell with excitement and bring a tugging curve to the edge of her lips. "You know I just remember, you rested that somewhere else during the massage the first night and that has nothing to do with the matter."
"Eve, I hear that hurts a lot more than the other way and I really don't have the mana to spare."
"Adam, I wa- No, I need to feel you in me..." She reached her previously preoccupied hand over to me. "I can tell your reason is sincere for the outcome of the baby, but please don't deny me completely, I accept any pain gladly to satisfy this urge. I promise I will be honest if it is too much, but I doubt it will be. Just like our first time, I will control the depth and pressure."
She moved me into position, then sat on my stomach like our first time before slowly lowering herself onto me. The entrance was definitely less forgiving on both of us and when I had entered her body tensed up immediately.
"Ok, you weren't wrong, that was definitely intense.I am going to need you to handle the motion after all." She panted and moaned, pained but filled with satisfaction as I moved as slowly and gently as I could.
The quivers running through her body with that type of intimacy were different, stronger, but less intense which made me wonder if that was the problem.
After a particularly strong jerk, she nearly fell from on top of me, so I rolled to the side to give her more stability, she also seem ed to have a similar idea about intensity being the issue, so she grabbed my hand and moved it around and down her body until it felt warm.
"You always find that spot... I tried, but I can't focus... I think that usually... overpowers the pain... but don't stop."
As I caressed her, she did gradually loosen up a little, but for once it was far from even pacing for us until I was nearly finished and began to rigidly and rapidly toy with the spot she struggled to find and closed the gap almost immediately.
When I was about to remove myself she tensed herself to stop me. "No, please don't I missed having you inside and it was painful getting you in. Letting you leave so soon feels like a waste.
"Eve, that was a lot for me as well, honestly I tried to finish faster. Why don't we clean up then we can stick to hands if you still need more."
She wrapped my arms around her and said she wanted them holding her so we couldn't, which gave me the idea as I manifested my right wings, which now appeared in the same black as the deva's bodies.
Eve was mesmerised. "Please don't tell me you forgot you had them."
"I did, so... Clean ourselves then hands and wing hugs."
"What about you though? My hands aren't as good for you."
"How about a kiss goodnight when your satisfied."
"Deal."
With that, she released me, then we cleaned ourselves and she sat me up so I could unfurl my wings the laid on top of me again, then pulled my hands into position as I wrapped my wings around her.
The next morning, Eve was much happier, practically glowing as she prepared breakfast before the girls arrived.
Cosmael, clearly knew the score and began to get embarrassed so I thought I would distract her. "Oh Little one, I forgot to ask. The wings I got from my artificial divine core, tur-"
"You got your wings back! Dad, that's great, show me, can we go flying together?"
"Calm down, sure and absolutely not, flying makes me sick. Always has done, even when I was on Quatal I really had to hold myself together." I said stretching them out.
"They're gorgeous Dad, wait, sick? You're a god who gets flight sick?"
"Yes, the first five times I remember flying I was blown out of the sky, taking off reminds me of past landings... The aftermath."
"Fine, but we will definitely need to work on that, you can't get to the divine realm without flight."
The new knowledge was a shock, but I felt sick at the thought.
I agreed to try, but made no promise to succeed, that was something rooted in a thousand lifetimes and would be hard to excise. "Fine, I'll try, I want to visit Celesael as soon as I can."
"Dad, can I have a wing-hug? It's just a normal hug, where we interlock our wings as well but they're special, because wings are sacred to us, we only interlock them with those we hold just as sacred."
"Of course Little one. Yes, before you ask Quatal if you can summon them, you can have one too."
"And just like that I got left out."
"Have your's not grown yet Mum? I thought they would have if you were telepathic already, but I guess it took dad a few days and that intense fight."
"Actually I had mine from when I instilled a holy magic core into my body as cover, but then The black started seeping into them, I stopped using them in case it caused issue, then I forgot until last night." I said as we embraced in the wing-hug, which was luckily too comforting for her to put two and two together about my mentioning the previous night.
"Ugh, please don't remind me you put that in your body, it's gross. I nearly gagged when I watched you do it. Mum have you actually tried spreading your wings, I can show you how dad taught us if you want."
"Finish your hug then you can." Eve smiled, touched by how truly Cosmael felt.
When she finished I sat down to watch, then sent Quatal over for wing practice with Eve. Cosamael pulled her wings in for the first time since we had met her, she twitched a bit, clearly made uncomfortable by their withdrawal.
"I don't know how you stomach this, but can't stomach flying, you're so weird dad..." She ranted before clearing her throat. "Right, Mum first, Quatal, watch close and you might get it just by watching since you know what it is like to have wings. Mum, place your hands on my back."
Eve did as instructed and Quatal watched with intense focus, motivated by the idea of the sacred wing-hug. "Now try and copy the muscle movements in my back... and five, four, three, two, one.." As she reached zero she puffed out her wings and Eve and Quatal did so as well.
Eve's were the same true black as mine, but more slender, and double jointed like the deva's as opposed to my larger and single jointed ones that made them difficult to keep out of the way.
Quatal's were strangely completely different to her snake forms. In this form, there were eight, but rather than soft and fluffy they were almost metallic, but despite how sharp each point and edge looked they were completely dull.
