Bonding with the Mother-in-Law IV
"Why don't you ask me the questions and I answer them? that way I can clear all your doubts" she said, not even close to releasing me from this hug, her breasts were squishing against my chest and her head was under my chin, she smelled wonderful.
"What are your intentions?" I began.
"Please ask clearer questions~"
"Why are you hugging me?"
"Because you're warm and I like to hug you? unless you don't want me to... then I'll stop" Even after saying such considerate words, she didn't stop hugging me, no... of course it doesn't make me uncomfortable.
"Why are you allowing your son-in-law to see you in such a... dubious attire?" That's naturally the most important topic, and this time she didn't linger before giving me the honest truth.
"Because I'm a woman... I want to be seen... I want to be lusted for... I want to feel loved and desired... is that too much to ask?" Her head raised up to my level, quite close to me as we felt each other's breaths, her purple eyes were fixed on mine and mine on hers.
"I like the slits in your eyes~" she said suddenly with a captivated giggle, I ignored her and continued my questioning.
"Why me? I'm your daughter's man... is this something devils do? do you do this with Sirzechs?" I frowned, the thought alone wasn't pleasing to me.
"I don't do this with Sirzechs, Richter... you're special. Why you...? because I'm attracted to you..." She spoke with all due nature as if confessing her attraction to her daughter's man was the most common thing in this devil world.
"Because you make my daughter happy unlike Sirzechs... and... I trust you. You're so powerful and that strength allows you to be honest with yourself and to others. You remind me of Lady Calliope. You're a genuine person, Richter... and I'm surrounded by fake families, fake smiles and fake faces..." She groaned around the end.
"..." I continued to listen to her small rant.
"Ever since my husband died I have been alone... my son was exiled, my youngest daughter married off, my oldest daughter disappeared; no one to trust but myself... all out of nowhere the daughter I have been expecting comes bringing a man that's powerful, confident... and you make me feel so secure." she caressed my cheek slightly.
"So far my security had been on someone that's not even here anymore... Lady Calliope is not here, which means... I couldn't be any more vulnerable... only the hazy silhouette that she transmits through a lie is what keeps the Lucifuge Clan as it is. That world could shatter at any moment. You bring me security, Richter" her head rubbed against mine like a small lizard looking for warmth... or a cat seeking comfort.
"Sadly, that doesn't change you're my daughter's man... I'm aware of my boundaries... I know I'm doing it wrong... but I don't plan to conceal this from her from the beginning. I'm not asking you to be my lover or to please me physically..."
"Even though that would have been ideal..." she whispered loudly with a mild blush, needless to say, I could hear that.
"I'm not asking you to impregnate me and give me an heir... have sex with me, satisfy me... Richter, I'm only asking for someone to hug me, is that so much to ask?" she wept, hugging me tightly once again.
"..." I could do nothing but hold her like this, as a hundred thousand years old immortal, I confess I don't have experience in this sort of situation.
"I'm only looking for someone that will watch me go and come with genuine eyes, without backhanded intentions. That I can hug you, sleep with you in the same bed as you hug me... that I can wake up and see your face, that I can wash your body, perhaps serve as your maid when my daughter is not around... that when I feel threatened you will be there-" she began trailing off with a hopeful expression, I had to close her mouth with another sigh.
"You're asking the wrong Dragon, Fia..."
"Why?!" She was on the verge of crying due to my rejection.
It is difficult, she is attractive... sexy, she is Grayfia's mother... but this is... not my business.
"I have no intention of staying in this world, Fia... the moment Grayfia and I discover a way to go back home, I will leave and I will take her with me" I declared something we both knew but apparently she was ignoring.
"Can't I go too?" She asked, holding both of my hands tightly into hers, I could feel her shivering, how desperate is she to feel someone's warmth?
"..." If I accepted it would be like placing myself and Grayfia in a compromise, if I rejected... it would break her heart, I was leaning towards the latter... but the words didn't come out.
It took me too long to answer, and by then Fia's eyes were gloomy as she released my hand.
"I know that I'm imposing on you, Richter... if it is too much to ask then-" She began to retreat but I twitched my lips and released a deep exhalation before hugging her tightly against my body.
"I can be there for you as long as I'm in this universe... Fia, as for you coming with us... we will see about that, let's give this some time... I have barely arrived in this universe and we have only known each other for a few days..."
!!!
"Thank you!" She embraced me tighter, rubbing her head against my chest, hopeful.
"As I said, you're doing something needless... Grayfia is my mate and you're important to her... if it comes to it... I will protect you and your Lucifuge Clan, you needn't go this far".
"I want to go this far with you... I'm attracted to you, Richter, that's not a lie... I love my daughter more than I love myself that's why I can't bear to ruin your relationship with her and take this one step further... if I'm in the way and this makes her uncomfortable somehow... I'll desist. But if not... I want to fight for my happiness too... I'm tired of being alone... sleeping alone every night"
After some deep consideration, the back of her palm rubbed my cheek as she smiled, "Have I solved out all your doubts?"
Not nearly enough, but this would have to do for now.
"Why not anyone else? Sirzechs? why me?" I know I asked this already but deep inside I couldn't help but be suspicious... after what Destiny did to me, it would be difficult to trust again.
"Why? Sirzechs is like my son... also, I hold a little resentment for him... my daughter is not happy with him despite all the hard work she put into being his Queen... even if I have a positive relationship with the Gremory and the Bael... I can't be completely fond of him. And then, there is a last factor"
"What?"
"You're so much more of a man than he or anyone around me is... I can't help but be attracted to you~"
I sighed and embraced her tightly before taking her chin close to my lips, she blushed immediately at my suddenness.
"W-What are you going to do?"
"Call me son-in-law..."
"..." She evaded my gaze with a pout.
"Call me son-in-law, Fia".
"There you go saying that yet you won't call me mother-in-law either!"
I guess she has a fair point.
"Then how about we address each other accordingly then... we don't lose sight of our identities, that way... this relationship won't go astray. Would you agree, son-in-law?~" she kissed my cheek.
"I accept" I sighed, what a troublesome mother-in-law this is, I can't complain, however. She's lovely.
"Then let's go... we have spent a lot of time here and we've yet to go to the restaurant, I want to talk about so many things with you!" She stood up and undressed in front of me without the previous shame before donning back her robes and ringing the bell.
She packed everything for ME to carry... fuck that, I stored it in my personal space and we went our way towards the next destination hands hooked.
A 'five stars' restaurant... whatever that means, today is going to be long and I might be too tired to inseminate Grayfia by the time I come back.
