Interlude - Rule of Threes (1/2)

At a time when Keira was frantically gathering house mimics, Nao was busy writing a thesis inside his cabin aboard the Endeavor. The paper explored the nature of the Beyond’s reality warping energies, particularly in the case of spatial manipulation. It was a tricky and complicated matter, so he had explicitly told the rest of the crew to not bother him unless it was an emergency. He was therefore understandably displeased when there was a sudden knock on his door. Still, considering the special guests he was flying with aboard this luxury airship, it would be unbecoming of him to be rude to them. In fact, he had a pretty good idea which of the three had paid him a visit as he stood up and went to greet them.

“Hey, Madeline,” he said while opening the door. “Do come in, won’t you?”

And indeed, the one standing in the hallway was none other than the unicorn-horned nephilim he expected, albeit with a slightly awestruck expression on her face.

“Woah. How did you know it was me?”

“It’s the melodic way you knock. Lydia’s is more curt, and Robin just barges in here without knocking.”

“Ohh, I didn’t even realize! You notice a lot of tiny details, huh?” she remarked as she walked inside.

“It’s kind of my job, Madeline,” he smiled and shut the door behind her. “Now, what brings you to my office today?”

“I was wondering if you can let me borrow your succubus for a few hours.”

“Uh… Okay? What for?”

“I’ve been practicing my writing and I want to act out a few scenes from my new play. Shion is the only one on this ship with any acting talent, so I was hoping you’d tell her to help me out.”

“Oh, I see. Well, I suppose it couldn’t hurt, and I’d hate to stifle your creativity.”

“Yay! Thanks, Nao!”

“Don’t mention it. Just give me a few minutes to get her ready.”

“Okay!”

A flashy ten seconds later saw the succubus in question pop into existence, complete with her feline ears and tail. Her master then spent a short while giving a number of directions and instructions that basically boiled down to doing what Madeline said and not disturbing him unless it was urgent. Once he was done, the blonde chirped another few words of gratitude and took the clearly disgruntled demon out of the room. That settled, Nao returned to his work.

He continued writing undisturbed for the next half hour or so. He had just finished a bothersome chapter outlining some of his experiments when he decided to take a little break. He went out of his room and down the narrow hallway of the ship’s lower decks. He remembered Madeline’s request and decided to stop by and watch this experimental play of hers. The girl had a certain gift for comedy, so he had a feeling it would be the perfect thing to unwind after all that mental exercise.

What he hadn’t counted on, however, was the exact nature of this ‘play.’ As he poked his head into her room, he was greeted by the side view of a very naked Madeline lying atop an equally naked Lydia, right there on the carpet in the middle of the room. The two of them were too busy kissing, groping, moaning, and rubbing their groins together to even notice the thoroughly shocked beastkin standing in the doorway. Or at least that’s how it seemed to be at first, but Lydia’s eyes locked with Nao’s a few seconds later. She didn’t even stop, but rather smirked without even stopping the incestious tongue tango she was doing with Madeline.

This provoked a moment of clarity that helped Nao recognize this was not the real Lydia, but his succubus familiar. It served to make the situation slightly less awkward, but not by much. Nao was made even more uncomfortable when he realized Shion was purposefully teasing the unsuspecting girl, but always stopping short of bringing her to orgasm. It was something she had done many times with him, and that realization provoked a somewhat inappropriate but entirely expected reaction from the beastkin’s loins. The wolf-boy was just about to silently shuffle out of the room when his mischievous servant suddenly began to speak.

“Say, Maddie?”

In character, no less.

“Wh-what?” Maddie weakly responded.

“Know what would feel even better? If we had a nice, big, throbbing dick.”

“I dunno, sis. I’ve never, um, had one before.”

“Then how do you know you won’t like it?”

“I… I guh- I guess… trying… wouldn’t hurt?”

This was one of the dangers of doing lewd things with a succubus even if one thought themselves in full control. These demonic seductresses had the power to worm their way into their partner’s mind, cloud their thinking, and plant weird suggestions that seem like really good ideas at the time.

“You know we have a hot guy right a few rooms down, yeah?” Shion continued to entice her.

“N-Nao? But he’s so innocent! And nice! I don’t think he’d want to do vulgar things with us…”

“Oh… I’m sure he’s more than eager.”

‘Lydia’ subtly directed Madeline’s gaze towards Nao, who was currently stuck standing stiff as a board. In every sense of the word. But, in the nephilim’s lust-fueled haze, she failed to comprehend anything but the prominent bulge in those robes.

“Wow… Did I do that?” she asked lazily.

“That you did, you naughty girl. You know it’s painful for guys to be like that, right?”

“Oh, the poor boy…”

“It’s okay, you just have to help him out, right?”

The succubus grabbed Madeline’s buttcheeks and spread them wide, causing the girl to giggle and shake her assets in Nao’s general direction.

“Yeah! Come on, cutie. Let this naughty girl that lusts for her sister help you out with that.”

The man was clearly hesitating. On one hand, this was highly inappropriate, and would probably be considered rape when one took into account Madeline’s clouded state of mind. On the other, he’d never done it with anyone besides Shion, and he would be lying if he said he wasn't curious to see how ‘real’ women felt. It was also impossible to deny that the middle triplet was a sexually attractive woman, but he couldn’t take advantage of her like this. His reasoning almost won out until the girl in question gave him an incredibly lucid yet pleading look, followed by a few words.

“Please? I really want this.”

That was all Nao needed to hear. Within seconds he was kneeling behind Maddie’s plump behind, still stretched wide by ‘Lydia.’ Both women moaned lightly as he rubbed his erection between their lower lips, liberally coating it and the hem of his robes in their juices. He pressed his flared head against Maddie’s entrance and slid right inside in one motion, completely forgetting the fact that this was the girl’s first time. He felt his member break through something, causing the blonde to yelp in pain and also tighten around him. He felt terrible for a moment, but both of them relaxed as Shion kept making out with the delusional nephilim on top of her.

After waiting a few moments, Nao began to slowly piston in and out of that freshly deflowered hole. It was, in his honest opinion, rather disappointing. That was to be expected, though. No mortal woman could hope to compete with the cavalcade of carnal pleasure that was a succubus’s body, not even one literally born from the gods. Still, Nao felt there was something genuine and endearing about the way Madeline awkwardly shook her hips, so he merely smiled and decided to make her first time a truly memorable experience. Well, it was arguably his first time as well, depending on whether one considered sex with their own familiar to be a weird form of masturbation.

He sure didn’t act like a virgin, though. Two years of semi-frequent ‘hip magic lessons’ from Shion had turned Nao into a veteran lovemaker. He hazarded a guess that Madeline was the type of girl to like it fast, so he rapidly picked up the speed. His lower end repeatedly smacked against her butt, sending mild waves of force down her thighs and up her back. Meanwhile Shion continued her relentless assault, holding the girl down in a tight hug and ravaging her lips while their full breasts rubbed against one another. She could also feel the force of her master’s thrusts second-hand, which was a curious but not entirely unpleasant sensation.

Trapped between two experienced lovers, Madeline was practically screaming in pleasure, though her voice was muffled by her ‘sister’s’ lips. The orgasm that had been building over the past half hour crashed into her like a tidal wave. Her hips quivered like mad and she arched her back all the way up, letting out a high-pitched and drawn out yell. No doubt half the ship would’ve heard her if not for the soundproofing on these private cabins, or if Nao hadn’t closed the door behind him.

Once the orgasm died down, Maddie collapsed atop the other woman, but the man behind her wasn’t done yet. The boyish wolfkin began moving slow and gentle like. He hadn’t been expecting such a borderline violent climax, especially not one so soon, so he was wary of hurting the girl somehow. He also laid atop of her, lightly sandwiching her between himself and his roleplaying familiar. This allowed him to make out the slight murmurings coming from Madeline as she made attempts to vocalize things like ‘more’ and ‘keep going.’

Not one to leave another unsatisfied with his work, the Hero of Magic resumed thrusting into her. Something possessed him to also playfully bite down on her shoulder, which seemed to drive the girl wild. She rapidly approached her second climax while Nao’s vigorous training made it so he hadn’t even started to feel his own release. Or so he thought when he suddenly felt something long, hot, and slimy invade his butt and target his prostate with pinpoint precision.

His seed boiled over and shot into Maddie before he could stop himself. The girl screamed with delight once more as the feeling of being filled by that sticky goo pushed her over the edge. When Nao regained his senses he looked over his shoulder just in time to see Shion’s tail retract from his rear and disappear somewhere below him. The implications of what had just happened raced in his mind, and he found himself standing up abruptly in a panic. The sudden movement made him feel a bit woozy and he fell backwards almost immediately.

“Heee… heee…” Madeline laughed lazily. “It’s leaking out…”

And indeed, Nao looked on with a mix of anxiety and, oddly enough, pride as his white stuff oozed out of the blonde’s lower end.

“My, you shouldn’t waste that, you know.”

Shion then stuck a few fingers inside and expertly scooped it all out, then made a show of licking her slimy fingers clean.

“No fair! That’s mine!”

Madeline let out a weird complaint as she thrust her tongue into ‘Lydia’s’ mouth, and the two of them began fighting over Nao’s seed. The perverse sight caused his manhood to spring right back into action, but though the body was willing, the spirit was not. Shion threw him a harsh look of ‘feed me, asshole,’ at which Nao immediately dismissed her, causing Madeline to flop onto the floor with a small yelp when her lewd mattress suddenly disappeared.

“Hey, what gives?!” she complained. “We were just getting to the good part!”

“… The good part?” Nao asked dumbly.

“Yeah! She was going to ride my face while you fucked me silly! It was going to be super romantic!”

“How is that romantic?! Actually hold on, you planned for all this to happen?!”

“Uh… m-maybe,” the girl looked away sheepishly.

“What’s this about, Madeline?”

“I have a crush on you, okay?!” she admitted in a huff.

“Wait, what?”

“Don’t act surprised! You’re a cute, kind, earnest guy with a lot of smarts. You’re sensitive, you’re attentive, and you listen to me blab on about stupid stuff with a smile on you face. You’re also reserved, but with a confident and cocky side when you choose to show it. It’s not my fault you’re so incredible!”

“I… uh… had no idea you thought so highly of me,” Nao blushed fiercely at the stream of compliments. “Why didn’t you just come out and say something?”

“Because you kinda treat my sisters and I like kids!” Madeline crossed her arms. “I wasn’t sure you’d take me seriously if I just told you out of nowhere.”

It was a fair point. Even if the triplets were beautiful women both inside and out, Nao couldn’t help but treat them as students in need of guidance. It was rather intentional on his part, as one of his main duties as Hero of Magic was to impart knowledge on those who seek it. So while he could somewhat understand why Madeline would do all this, he couldn’t comprehend how she managed it.

“So if you set all this up… How did you know I’d let you borrow Shion? Or that I’d walk past your door? Or that I wouldn’t just yell at you when I saw you? And what’s the deal with having her pretend to be your sister?”

Though it looked like some kind of perverse accident at first glance, her words implied everything had transpired as she intended.

“… You’re kind of predictable,” she sheepishly answered. “You’re honest and trusting towards your friends, which is nice, but it also makes you easy to string you along with a bit of effort. You were just an actor in my play, even if you didn’t know it. I guess the, uh, that last part was a bit much in retrospect.”

“Oh… I see…”

As for the succubus, she probably played along with the intent of embarrassing her master like she usually did. And she had succeeded spectacularly.

“So… um… do you… think we could continue?” Madeline asked.

“I’m not sure, this is all too sudden. Committing to a romantic relationship like this seems… unwise?”

“You don’t need to commit to anything,” she crawled over. “I just need you to pamper me every now and then. You know, as sex-friends.”

“I don’t know, it feels like I’m taking advantage of your feelings if I-”

“Please?”

And there it was, the ‘magic word.’ It seemed silly to call it something like that in a world with actual magic words that held arcane power, but the way Madeline masterfully used it, it may as well have been a Spell. That was just how manipulative a truly talented Bard could be. Whatever resistance or hang-ups Nao had seemed to disappear as he gave in and proceeded to pleasure the girl as much as she wanted. He even participated in a bit of ‘newly-wed couple’ roleplay, though he remained firm that he didn’t want to commit to anything officially just yet. He also made sure to avoid ejaculating inside her again despite her initial protests, though she seemed to enjoy the feeling of his hot stuff on her soft skin all the same.

Things proceeded more or less the same after that. Madeline remained her usual cheerful and flirty self, and only asked for Nao’s ‘benefits’ just once in the next three days. She had apparently gotten it into her head that she needed to practice performing fellatio, which was how and why Nao found himself waking up with Madeline’s lips around his member. It wasn’t until the fourth day after their initial tryst that another significant development happened.

*SLAM*

“You scumbag!”

However, this time it had come in the form of Lydia - the real one - who had just barged into Nao’s office while shouting loudly at him.

“Wh-what?” the startled beastkin asked. “What did I do?”

“You got Madeline pregnant!”

“… I did?”

“Yes! She’s been having morning sickness for a few days now, and the ship’s doctor just confirmed it!”

From that point on it had been a simple matter of grilling her until she spilled the beans on who the father was.

“But we only did it, like, once!” Nao blurted out.

“Divine fertility, genius!” Lydia thumped her belly. “A single drop is all it takes!”

“Oh… Shit.”

It wasn’t as if he didn’t know about Nyrie’s blessing, but he had severely underestimated its effectiveness.

“Okay… It’s okay, we, uh, we just have to think rationally,” Nao began mumbling. “This is, uh, probably a good thing, right? Wait, why are you so mad? Weren’t you all about propagating the race and all that?”

“I’m mad because you didn’t do me first!”

The Hero of Magic sighed at how ridiculous that sounded.

“Didn’t you have a bunch of strict standards? I’m pretty sure I’m nowhere near as fit and strong as your ideal mate.”

“Maybe not, but intellectual prowess and sensible morals are more important than raw brawn, and you have those in spades.”

“And how am I supposed to know if you didn’t tell me? Seriously, why does nobody tell me this stuff?!”

“… Okay, that is a fair point,” Lydia nodded, noticeably calmer. “I apologize, my outburst was unfair.”

“That’s alright.”

“I still want you to put a baby in me, though.”

“Oh my Gods,” he covered his face with his palms. “You’re serious, aren’t you?”

“Quite so.”

“You really want to have a child with me?”

“Yes.”

“Just like that?”

“Just like that.”

Nao took a moment to seriously consider this straightforward proposal. Unlike certain other individuals, he was fully aware of Lydia’s motives and circumstances. All things considered, it was actually something of an honor, not to mention flattering. Being asked directly was also a nice change of pace from Madeline’s shady antics and manipulations. He certainly wouldn’t have trouble ‘performing’ either, given Lydia’s blatantly attractive appearance.

“… Fine. I’ll try, I guess,” he relented.

“You have my thanks.”

The girl then closed the door and began to take off her vibrant blue robe.

“Wait, now?!” Nao exclaimed.

“Why not?”

“I was busy writing my bloody-” he paused mid-complaint. “Actually, forget it. Let’s get this over with.”

Lydia finished stripping herself down to her underwear, which was a surprisingly lacy set of bra and panties. It wasn’t quite the high-end demon silk lingerie that a certain lesbian couple had, but it was clear that she had put it on especially for the occasion. She also blushed fiercely when she realized she was actually standing half-naked in front of a man in his own private quarters, prompting her to cover her breasts with her hands in a fit of shame.
