::Author's Note::
Dear sweet merciful God did I go overboard again! This is a very VERY pivotal Chapter and I wanted to make sure I got it just right. Though in the process, I may have overdone it and written something of a Monster. I'll leave it up to you to decide whether or not the extra time it took me to get this thing written down was worth it or not.
Personally, I think it was. Here is Chapter 36 everyone.
::End Note::
The members of Delta Squad appeared from the other side of the portal alongside Asia and Rias. Safe and sound back at Kuoh Academy. Upon realizing they were all alive and in one piece, the three Rookies cheered. Hugging each other and jumping up and down in celebration, relief washing over them like a wave.
Asia giggled sweetly at the sight. "How sweet. It's so nice to see at least they're in good spirits."
Rias nodded in agreement. "You must be very proud of your little children, Sammy."
"Eh, they did alright." He played the tough guy well, though by the look in his eyes it was clear he was happy to see they had all made it back.
Xenovia smiled at them. In the short time she'd gotten to know those three they had become surprisingly dear to her. Seeing them alive and well, back at Kuoh, made her incredibly happy.
"Good to see you made it back to the academy in one piece."
They turned to see Sona accompanied by her Queen Tsubaki walking up to them, pleased smiles on both their faces.
"You as well, Sona." Rias nodded respectfully.
"Boss!" Sammy ran up to Sona and bowed. "Forgive me, but our team failed."
"Hush, Boy. You did incredibly well." Sona praised sternly, somehow managing to sound both flattering and irritated all at once. "There will be no more talk of failure tonight."
Tsubaki beckoned Sammy with her finger. "Come, you. The girls will want to see their Dragon."
He smirked coyly at Tsubaki before pulling her in close and kissing her lips fiercely. The surprising gesture made her blush but she quickly regained her composure.
"Any chance you'll join them this time?"
She sighed before adjusting her spectacles and taking his arm. "Perhaps…"
Sammy waved them all goodbye before walking off with Tsubaki on his arm. "So how are we feeling about trying that THING I talked to you about?"
"Don't push your luck." Tsubaki insisted sternly as they walked away.
Sona approached the remaining group and set her attention on Aika. "Now then, what to do with you?"
Aika clammed up and began to sweat. "I uhhh…" She gulped. "...well...I know we didn't actually get the swords but if it's all the same to you Ma'am-"
"That failure rests entirely on me." Xenovia bowed her head pensively. "Aika performed beyond exceptionally."
"X...Xenovia…" Aika blushed fiercely at her comment.
Sona peered at Aika squirrely for a moment before finally smiling and nodding in approval. "Very well. Then you'll have to regale me with a full report back at the Honor's House. Which reminds me, Reya was asking about you."
Aika's face heated up like a thermometer. "She...she was?!"
Sona nodded. "I got the distinct impression she wanted to talk to you about something." She shrugged. "No matter, I'll hear your report first. Now come."
She turned around and beckoned her to follow. Aika frowned before turning back towards Matsuda and Motohama, who both smiled and encouraged her to go.
"Go ahead. We'll see ya around." Matsuda assured.
She teared up and ran straight into their arms, hugging them both tightly.
"I love you two idiots. You know that?" She whispered.
"Yeah yeah, we love you too, Bra." Matsuda chuckled back at her.
"Go on." Motohama encouraged. "We may be bound to different families but we'll always go to the same school."
She wiped a stray tear out of her eye and nodded before rejoining Sona.
"Oh, one last thing." The Sitri Heir adjusted her glasses. "I believe there are a couple of very worried young ladies looking for you two boys."
Matsuda and Motohama both turned and beamed at each other excitedly.
"Where are they?!"
Sona smiled at them both before moving to the side and waving two figures over.
Off in the distance, Rei's face illuminated into an ecstatic smile as she tugged on Saya's sleeve and pointed.
"Rei!" Matsuda ran straight for her.
"Matsuda!" The overjoyed girl lept straight into his arms before giggling like a schoolgirl as he spun her around. "I'm so relieved you're okay." She hugged him tightly as tears began to well up in her eyes.
Motohama smiled at the two before being unceremoniously knocked to the ground.
"Wh...Saya!" He protested indignantly, his face already heating up in embarrassment. "What are you doing?"
"Oh shut up!" She sniffled angrily, having already started crying even before Rei had. "You reckless idiot, I was so worried about you!"
Rei finally broke away from her hug long enough to kiss Matsuda. "Promise me you won't ever leave me behind like that again, okay?"
He nodded. "I promise. No matter what we're a team from now on."
Meanwhile, Motohama spoke sweetly to Saya. "You know...if you keep holding me like this in front of all these people they might start getting the wrong idea."
Saya squeezed him tighter. "Can you just let me have this?" She asked sincerely. "Please?"
He chuckled quietly. "Alright...could you maybe shift around a bit though? My legs kinda falling asleep."
"If you ruin this moment for me I WILL cut you." She threatened severely, a single gleaming fang protruding from her mouth.
"Heh…" He shut his eyes and rested his forehead against her. "...that's more like it"
Rias smiled at the touching display. "Honestly, if I wasn't seeing it with my own two eyes I wouldn't believe it. Jon's boys are growing up."
"I'm just…" Asia wiped a joyous tear away. "...I'm so happy for them both."
"Rias."
Asia and Rias both turned towards the voice that spoke. The Knight of the Gremory Peerage, who had been mostly keeping to himself up until this point, had his head bowed pensively before his President.
"Words alone cannot express how sorry I am for my behavior." His voice conveyed the sincerity of his guilt. "From the bottom of my heart, I apologise for everything I've done Ms. President. Please forgive me."
Rias narrowed her eyes at him searchingly before walking up to Kiba and placing her hands on her hips. "Can I assume we're quite done with any more talks of vengeance?"
He nodded. "Of course. I'll follow your orders to the letter."
After a long pause she smiled at him. Rias pulled Kiba into a tight hug much to the surprise of the bewildered Knight.
"It's good to have you back." She whispered affectionately. "We've missed you."
Finally, he smiled and held her back. "I've missed you too. All of you."
Once Rias had finally let him go Asia immediately jumped into Kiba's arms and squeezed him tight.
"We're so happy you're home!" She beamed excitedly. "It just hasn't been the same without our Knight around."
He chuckled at her. "You're too kind, Asia. Truthfully it's been rather-"
Kiba yelped upon being suddenly jerked back by his ear.
"Don't think this gets you out of punishment." Rias spoke to him through clenched teeth while maintaining a death grip on his ear. "Jon and Koneko were both punished for disobeying me and you're no exception."
He laughed nervously. "I...figured as much, Ms. President."
She released him from her grip and allowed Kiba to speak openly with Asia while she addressed the final issue. Xenovia stiffened uncomfortably upon Rias approaching her.
"Now then...what to do about you?"
Xenovia remained stoically quiet, ever wary of the Lady King of the ORC.
Finally, Rias shrugged. "We'll discuss it in the Chapter Room." She then turned and approached the two couples still reuniting a couple yards away.
"Let's all head inside. It's time you four were officially introduced to the ORC."
The group made their way into the ORC Headquarters. With Rias and Asia acting as guides for the four newcomers. The last time they were there it was strictly business. This time, they were getting the full tour.
That didn't change the fact that, as they approached the Chapter Room on the second floor, Matsuda and Motohama started to get cold feet.
"What's the matter, you two?" Rias chuckled at them in amusement. "I thought you would be thrilled to see Jon again after everything you've been through."
Rei and Saya both collectively groaned in annoyance at their boys.
"These two idiots have gotten it in their heads that we'll ditch them and join your little entourage the moment we lay eyes on Jon." Saya explained while rolling her eyes.
"Despite us repeatedly assuring them to the contrary." Rei added while shooting an annoyed grin at Matsuda.
Rias chortled hysterically at their words. "Oh dear...no no. That's not how it works at all. The imprint doesn't form at first sight."
"And besides." Asia spoke up cheerfully. "If their heart already belongs to another then it doesn't matter how he feels."
That cheered them up. Rei took Matsuda by the hand assuredly and nodded while Saya more or less dragged Motohama by the ear. The group made their way into the Chapter Room where Jon was waiting with Akeno and Koneko.
He smiled upon seeing Rias and Asia. "How did it go?"
She groaned in frustration before walking up to him and kissing his lips feverishly. "We can talk about it later. A lot needs to be discussed."
"I'm so happy to see you home safe, Darling." Asia giggled sweetly before kissing Jon just as feverishly as Rias did.
After greeting their Dragon, Asia made her way to Koneko while Rias walked over to Akeno. They proceeded to make out with each other for a moment much to the utter bemusement of their five guests.
"Holy moly." Rei's face turned bright red at the spectacle.
"You two weren't kidding." Saya commented in bewilderment.
Matsuda and Motohama both nodded while still staring gobsmacked at the kissing ladies.
"Hey! Roll your tongues back in your mouths right now!" Saya barked at them.
"Do they...always behave like this?" Xenovia asked Kiba nervously.
He chuckled. "Actually, this is tame compared to how things normally are around here."
"Kiba…"
The Gremory Knight turned to see Koneko walking up to him, an expectant look in her eye.
"Koneko, I-"
His words were cut off by a sucker punch to the gut. Kiba doubled over in pain before dropping to a knee.
"That's for leaving, you prick." The angry Rook spoke sharply.
He said nothing. Kiba had earned this after all and he knew it perfectly well.
Much to his surprise, however, she then proceeded to hug him tight.
"And this is for coming back home." A hint of emotion welled up in her voice. "I missed you, Kiba."
"I missed you too." He spoke warmly as they embraced.
She finally let him go and allowed the Knight to stand back up. Only for him to be immediately grabbed by Akeno and planted with a wet motherly smooch right on the cheek. Despite his complacent groans she hugged him tight afterwards.
"Welcome back, Kiba. It's so good to have you home." She then jabbed a finger into his shoulder and spoke like a stern mother. "But don't you ever scare us like that again, Mister. Do you understand me?"
He smiled at her. "Understood, Vice President."
Her whole being seemed to relax. She then backed away and allowed Kiba to approach Jon. The two Males of the Gremory Peerage considered each other searchingly for a moment before at last Kiba spoke.
"Jon...all those things I said before, I just want you to know-"
He raised a hand up to stop him. "You know what? We're good, Brother."
His body relaxed. That was all Kiba needed to hear. The two boys knocked fists and Jon patted him on the back before turning to the last issue.
Matsuda and Motohama stood stiff as a board as he approached.
"H...hey Jon." Matsuda laughed nervously.
"Long time no see man." Motohama sounded just as nervous.
Jon crossed his arms and glared at them sternly. As if sizing them up.
"Well...I thought I may never see you two clowns again."
They both turned their heads down shamefully. Upon which Jon wrapped them in a massive bear hug that startled both men terribly.
"I am so fucking proud of you." He spoke sincerely. "Both of you. Ya hear me?"
"Y...yeah." Motohama gasped for breath.
"Jon...too tight." Matsuda spoke breathlessly.
Every woman there watching the spectacle sighed and rolled their eyes wearily.
"Men...I swear."
"Why do they always have to act so tough around each other?"
Jon finally released them both and sized the duo up. "I gotta say, boys, I'm really digging the new looks." His eye caught the two ladies standing awkwardly at the door and a slick grin formed over his features. "Now then...who might these two fine young things be?" Jon nudged them both playfully as he spoke.
Matsuda laughed nervously. "Uhh, Jon...th...this is-"
"Hi, I'm Matsuda's girlfriend, Rei." The young brunette approached him and offered her hand in greeting.
Matsuda proceeded to turn beet red upon hearing her say that. Sure he had assumed, but up until now it was never said out loud before.
"A pleasure." He shook her hand gently before turning to the pink haired girl with glasses. "And you are?"
"Saya." She introduced with a wave of her hand, a suspicious look in her eyes. "We've heard quite a bit about you Mr. Hyodo."
"Not too much, I hope." He replied without missing a beat, that award winning smile plastered on his face.
"Alright, that's enough Romeo." Koneko grabbed Jon by the ear and tugged him away while he grumbled in protest before addressing both ladies. "I apologize for him. He doesn't know how to turn it off."
Rei placed a hand up to her mouth and laughed in a bubbly voice. Saya meanwhile, just scoffed and brushed him away disinterestedly.
Matsuda and Motohama both sighed in relief. Guess there WERE some girls in the city who had no interest in Jon.
"Both of you come over here for a second." Jon waved Matsuda and Motohama over to him. Once they were out of earshot of the ladies he formed a huddle and spoke to them in confidence. "Alright, now look. Those two are a REALLY good catch, I can tell already. Now that you've got em, hold onto em. Ya hear me?"
They both nodded in understanding.
"We won't let you down Jon."
"I'm serious." He insisted. "Don't fuck this up. You ain't gonna find many like them, I assure you."
Koneko rolled her eyes at him. "Says the man who managed to find four."
Akeno giggled at her. "Well, five actually if you count-"
"Like I said, FOUR." Koneko growled threateningly, refusing to acknowledge she who must be named.
"Honestly man, I don't see how you do it." Motohama spoke honestly. "I've only had ONE girlfriend for a few days now and I'm already exhausted."
"Hey! I can hear you, you know?!" Saya shouted at him.
Motohama straightened up and gulped. "Sorry, Honey!"
Koneko chuckled in amusement. "I think I like her."
Jon looked around at the sea of faces. Everyone was alive and well, back where they truly belonged. It did his heart good to see the whole family here.
Well...almost the whole family. His expression suddenly darkened.
"I take it the fact that Irina's not here means she's gone for good?" Jon asked Rias glumly.
She frowned at him woefully and nodded. "I'm sorry Jon. But she made her choice some time ago. I couldn't allow her back to Kuoh."
"You did what you had to do." He spoke to her assuringly, though his eyes still bore a great deal of sadness. "Would have just been nice to see her face one last time is all."
"Ohhhh enough of that dreary subject." Asia hugged his arm tightly. "Come on, Jon. Let's walk Matsuda and the other's back to their rooms at the President's House."
Koneko gripped his other arm. "We should give Rei the full tour while we're at it. Or at least...the parts of campus not currently covered in war tents."
He smiled at them both. "Alright. Why not?"
As the group walked off, Asia and Koneko turned and winked back at Rias, who smiled and mouthed the words "thank you" for keeping their Dragon distracted.
"If it's all the same to you, Ms. President, I'd like to retire for the evening as well." Kiba bowed his head respectfully.
She nodded. "Very well. Tomorrow will be even busier than today was. Get some rest."
The Knight bowed once more to Akeno before turning and heading for his room. Leaving the President and Vice President alone with Xenovia.
The tense silence that followed began to make her heart race.
"Now then, as things have settled down, I believe we can at last attend to you Ms. Xenovia." Rias spoke in a professional yet no less dark manner.
Akeno's expression twisted into a darker reflection of her normally friendly stoicism. Proving only to make Xenovia even more nervous.
"Come to my desk." Rias waved for her to follow before sitting down. Akeno stood directly beside her as always, while Xenovia made her way to the front of the desk.
"Have a seat." The President offered, now all business.
A chair magically appeared behind Xenovia which she reluctantly sat in, refusing to let her guard down for even a moment.
As she spoke, Rias picked up her pen and began twiddling it through her fingers. "Xenovia, I have to be honest with you, your inability to safeguard the Holy Swords was a colossal failure. You should have seen through Irina's deception."
She didn't say anything.
"Not even going to plead your case?" Akeno asked in puzzlement.
"You've made up your minds." Xenovia commented bluntly. "I see no point."
"Hmm." Rias's lip curved in amusement. "Ultimately it doesn't matter where the blame falls. The fact is, by failing to retrieve the Holy Swords, you lost your only bargaining chip."
She turned her head away and bit her tongue
"So the question now is...where does this leave us?" Rias continued, knowing full well her guest had no leg to stand on. "You can't return to your order knowing what you do. And if you try to reveal the truth they'll brand you a heretic and hunt you down."
"Along with that, if you try to strike it out on your own, the Fallen will begin actively hunting you for your connection to the Holy Swords." Akeno added, clearly enjoying this just as much as Rias was.
"Very well spoken, my Queen." Rias commented sadistically. "Now...with all this in mind. It would seem that your fate rests entirely with me."
"I do not expect asylum." Xenovia insisted. "I am willing to work with you so long as-"
"We are well past Alliances, my dear." Rias interrupted her. "Up until now you have gone out of your way to make an enemy of my kind. You've threatened the life of my Bishop twice, and actively hunted my Pawn. And now, thanks to your former partner, the one thing you possessed that was of any interest to us is in the hands of the enemy."
She leaned forward on her desk and narrowed her eyes at Xenovia sharply.
"What's to stop me from taking that last blade of yours by force and throwing you to the wolves?"
For the longest time, Xenovia didn't say a word. Until at last, she took a deep breath and sighed
"I know...what you're waiting to hear." She spoke in a melancholy tone.
Rias stopped twiddling her pen and a knowing smirk enveloped her features. "Do you?"
Xenovia nodded. "There is one thing I can still offer you." After taking a moment to consider the gravity of her next words, she cast her gaze towards Rias resolutely.
"Myself."
The pen snapped in two between Rias's fingers. She hid it well but Akeno could see the unbridled excitement in her eyes, could hear her heart thumping madly in her chest…
...could see the wet spot she was leaving on her chair from arousal.
"Normally, I wouldn't consider it." Rias had to stop herself from allowing her excitement to leak out into her voice. "If a Holy Sword User is turned into a Devil they lose their connection to the Holy Artifacts they once wielded, along with substantial amount of power. That is...in most circumstances." The excitement inevitably leaked into her voice with her next words. "But you're a special case, aren't you."
Xenovia remained silent. In all honesty, she wasn't surprised they had figured it out.
"You're a Natural Born." Akeno declared, her voice just as energetically dark as Rias's. "One of the last surviving members of the old Holy Bloodlines. Within you lies the power to wield Holy Swords without the use of a ritual. That's why the Church took you away, isn't it."
She nodded, finally relenting her true identity. "I am a direct descendant of the Holy Knight Roland. The Military Governor of the Breton March during the time of Emperor Charlemagne. As far as I know, my bloodline is the only one that's still strong enough to produce Natural Borns like me."
"You do understand the gravity of what you're doing, correct?" Rias spoke cautiously, unable to help the evil grin on her face. "By offering yourself to me, you give my clan, and indeed my Brother Lucifer, a conduit to access the power of Holy Weapons. You could very well be dealing a decisive blow to the Church."
Xenovia gripped her knees until her knuckles turned white. "When I think back to how those bastards treated me...how they used me like a tool, lied to my face while exploiting my faith to keep me obedient...I am filled with such seething rage my body quivers." A fire burned in her eyes as she spoke these next words. "If my becoming a Devil means the Church's Destruction, then so be it. I have done more than enough for them."
Rias and Akeno both looked at each other, each sharing the same knowing, sadistic looks in their eyes. With a small nod of the Vice President's head, she knew what she had to do.
"That…" Rias slowly turned her head back towards Xenovia. "...is EXACTLY what we were hoping to hear from you."
Hope swelled in Xenovia's heart, as she opened her mouth to speak again, however, Rias cut her off.
"However…" Her smile faded, replaced with an expression of grave seriousness. "...that doesn't mean we will simply let you in. Blind to your actions or not, you've caused a substantial amount of grief to my people. What's more, there's still the issue of you having threatened two of my pieces. Something that I have condemned others to death over."
Xenovia bowed her head in submission. "I'll accept any penance you would place upon me. Whatever punishment you think befitting of my crimes."
Rias cast her gaze back to Akeno again. "What do you think, Love? Should we let the Stray Swordswoman in?"
As serious as she looked, Akeno could tell the President was just playing with Xenovia. In much the same way a cat plays with a mouse it's about to devour. Rias was going to milk this for all it was worth which proved to be more than a bit of a turn on for her Queen. As it was, Akeno's face was flushed with arousal as she replied.
"I don't know." Her voice broke into that slight vocal fry it took on whenever she was hopelessly turned on. "She sounds sincere, but I'm not sure she's fully committed."
"Must I beg? Grovel at your feet?" Xenovia asked desperately. "I will if that's what it takes. You said it yourself, Lady Rias, I have nowhere else to go."
Rias bit her thumb thoughtfully. "That's a good start...but I think we can do better."
Akeno's face broke out into a full blown sadistic smile.
"If you truly desire to join my Peerage, you'll have to earn the right." The President concluded. "You need to show me you can follow any order."
"Of course!" Xenovia nodded, her voice sounding hopeful again.
A wicked gleam shown in Rias's features. "And I do mean...ANY order."
Knots formed in her stomach. "I...I understand. What do you need me to do?"
"Because of the vows you've taken you're still protected by divine blessings. We're going to have to remove those in order to turn you into a Devil." Akeno explained. "There are several ways to go about doing this…" A mischievous tone fluttered into her voice. "...however, the most direct and effective way also happens to be the most...intimate."
She needn't continue explaining. Xenovia understood perfectly well what it was they were expecting her to do.
"You speak of ritual sex." She surmised, a hint of curiosity in her voice. "I'm not unfamiliar with this practice. But do you really think that will be enough?"
"You're protected by incredibly strong magic." Akeno admitted. "A Holy Bloodline is a tough nut to crack. But yes, a willful act of sexual service should suffice."
"What's important is that it must be a WILLFUL act. We would gain nothing from rape." Rias explained. "This ritual will only work if you can give us total consent to do what we want to you."
Xenovia bit her lower lip thoughtfully for a moment. "I'm not saying no, but I am curious if there are other options."
"None that wouldn't take an incredibly long time, be excruciatingly painful, and or possibly kill you." Akeno stated flatly. "Normally something like this would be a trivial matter but your Holy Blood makes corrupting you a difficult proposition. In the grand scheme of things, this is really the best option."
And then something strange happened. Xenovia smiled.
"Honestly...I'm kind of glad this is my only option."
Rias and Akeno both gave her an intrigued look.
"It means I can't do this unless I'm fully committed to it." She explained. "All my life I've used my tainted Testament as a means to justify my actions. I've made excuses for myself my whole life, hiding behind a false creed." Xenovia shook her head. "But no more. From now on, I live by the creed I set for myself. Starting with this."
She fell from the chair and dropped to her knees.
"I willingly give my body to the Gremory Peerage. Let my sacrifice of flesh serve as proof that I pledge my loyalty to you, Rias Gremory."
The President's eyes began to glow as her power threatened to boil over.
"Then allow my Queen to escort you to our Play Dungeon."
Xenovia nervously followed Akeno to the Dungeon down the hall while the Gremory Queen hummed in excitement. As certain as she was of her decision, that didn't change the fact that she was completely out of her depth.
"Nervous?" Akeno asked, a chipper perk in her voice.
"Nervous is too strong a word." Xenovia assured calmly. "I understand what it is I have to do. I've just never done something like this before."
Akeno chuckled in amusement. "You just have the jitters. It happens to new players, you'll be fine."
"This is all so new to me. I'm not used to facing a challenge I can't meet with my blade."
The Vice President shook her head. "It's not a challenge dear. There's no need to work yourself up over nothing." She offered a patient smile. "Try to relax, I promise we're going to have lots of fun before the night is over."
"If you say so…" She still sounded guarded.
Akeno opened the door to the Playroom and beckoned her inside. Xenovia gazed about the room warily at all the equipment.
"Am I to be interrogated first?"
The Queen Piece snickered devilishly. "Only if you're into that. This equipment wasn't designed for conventional torture, Hun. It's for...play."
"Play?" Xenovia glared at her in confusion. "But some of these contraptions were clearly designed for interrogation, I even recognize some of them."
She shrugged. "Perhaps some of them could be used that way. Theoretically. But no, what goes on in here is done only with consent by all parties involved."
"I see…" Xenovia looked around at the equipment again, only this time in a different light. "...so these harnesses and instruments are used not to inflict pain, but to arouse sexually?"
"Oh don't get me wrong. Some of them DO cause pain." Akeno explained with heated words. "But for some people, pain and pleasure go hand in hand."
Xenovia quirked a brow at her oddly. "Would I be correct in assuming you are one such individual?"
An amused chuckle rang from the back of Akeno's throat and her face heated up. "Oh absolutely."
Xenovia considered the equipment again. "I've never associated pain with anything other than what it is. A warning system to let us know our bodies have been damaged."
Akeno nodded in understanding. "That's fair. But for humans pain also releases endorphins into the brain, when exposed to pain you can control, the sensation can be quite pleasurable. It's true for Devils as well...only moreso."
"Pain you can control…" She mulled over Akeno's words in her head before her eyes caught sight of a cat o'nine tails. Xenovia picked up the leather tool and ran her hand through the braids. "I'm familiar with this instrument."
"Oh?" Akeno peered at her curiously with a finger pressed up to her lip. "Do tell."
"Every Neophyte Hunter looking to undergo the ritual to become a Holy Sword User must go through a ninety day period known as the Mortification of the Flesh. During which time, their bodies are sanctified through daily prayer, fasting…"
"...and self flagellation." Akeno finished wickedly. "I had heard that was still a thing among certain sects of the Catholic Church."
Xenovia nodded. "Although I didn't have to undergo the ritual to use a Holy Sword, I did still go through the ninety days of Mortification. Every day, after I would say my daily prayers, I would kneel before the small wooden cross in my room and strike my back with an instrument much like this one." She considered the nine tails more thoughtfully. "Whenever I did this I would always feel different emotions, rage, sadness, guilt...but once it was over, pleasure." She laughed quietly. "I always believed that Christ's eyes were upon me when I would get those feelings. It was...comforting."
Xenovia turned and smiled at Akeno.
"I feel better about this. I'm ready to continue."
Akeno nodded approvingly. "Very well. Then let's begin." She walked over to the door and locked it before moving to a nearby dresser and grabbing one of her outfits. "I'll be but a moment."
"Very well. Are we to begin the ritual immediately? Do I need to prepare?"
She shook her head before sauntering behind a changing wall. "No no, this is just a warmup. I want to get you comfortable before we dive straight into the main event."
"That's...awfully considerate of you." Xenovia sounded genuinely surprised as she gave Akeno her privacy. "Do you mind if I ask what it is I can expect?"
"Not at all." Akeno's naked silhouette spoke to her from behind the wall. "For this ritual we will be using the whole Peerage...well sans Kiba." Shs sighed in a melancholy tone. "I love that boy to death but he is one of the most Vanilla Devils I have ever met in my life."
"Vanilla?" She asked in confusion.
Akeno giggled. "Don't worry about it. You'll pick up on the terminology after awhile."
"I wasn't aware sexual intercourse could be so complex." Xenovia admitted truthfully.
"For some S&M is a simple hobby." The Vice President clutched at the collar around her neck. "For others...it's a way of life."
"I see…"
"As it so happens, S&M pairs incredibly well with ritual sex and rites involving sacrifices of flesh. Witches and Pagan Cults have used it for centuries in their own rites. Just as we will be using it in yours."
"What will this particular ritual entail?" Xenovia asked curiously. "Seeing as you're clearly the one who knows the most about this sort of thing, I thought I'd ask."
Akeno worked on strapping herself into her outfit as she spoke. "For you, the ritual we will be using requires total submission from the lead participant. Basically, you'll be expected to perform sexual acts for each member of the Peerage while kneeling in the middle of a ritual circle."
A thought occurred to Xenovia. "Including Jon?"
"Actually...he'll play the most crucial role." She spoke in a sultry tone. "Jon will be the one breaking your hymen and spilling your virgin blood. Just as he did to Asia to turn her into a Devil."
Her heart began to beat madly in her chest. "Jon is going to...deflower me?"
"There's no need to worry." Akeno assured as she put on a pair of lacy lingerie gloves. "In the bedroom my Master is a perfect gentleman. He will take very good care of you, I promise."
Again, that made her pause. "Your Master?" She was still trying to wrap her head around all this. "What exactly is your relationship to Jonathan Hyodo?"
"I'm his Treasure, same as the other girls." Akeno explained before sauntering out. "But the relationships we each form with our Dragon are wholly unique. Mine is no exception."
Xenovia felt her heart leap at the site of Akeno in a bustier of deep black leather attached to a fluttery translucent mesh skirt. She had no idea how, but the outfit pushed up the Vice President's breasts to heights she had never deemed possible for a woman of her chest size. This, combined with a tiny scrap of a thong and opened toed stiletto heels made for quite the image.
"See anything you like?" Akeno asked in a flirtatious tone.
Xenovia was still reeling from the bustier. The cups barely covered Akeno's areolas and yet still managed to hoist her double Ds up as if they weighed nothing.
"How do you...get them to do that?" She wasn't nervous about asking. If anything, it was her scientific curiosity that got the better of her.
Akeno snickered in amusement before walking up to her, a natural bounce in her heel and sway in her hips as she walked.
"It's not easy." She admitted before turning to a full body mirror and inspecting herself. "For girls like us, whose bra size involves more numbers than a highschool locker combination, keeping your girls where you want them requires engineering like the Sistine Chapel."
Xenovia couldn't help but chortle at Akeno's little joke. Normally that sort of blasphemy would have offended her. Now? It was rather amusing.
"I wouldn't know, I don't normally wear a bra. I find they restrict my movements in the suit." She explained.
Akeno cocked her hip and bit down on the tip of her fingernail thoughtfully. "That's okay. You won't need one for this."
And just like that the nervous quiver in her belly was back. "So...what happens now?"
"Now…" Akeno waved with her finger for her to turn around. "...we get you out of that suit."
With a deep breath she nodded in understanding and turned around, lowering her head and offering the neck of her battle suit to her. Akeno unsnapped the neck of the suit before slowly unzipping her, peeling away at the stubborn garment while Xenovia carefully wiggled out of it. Leaving her completely naked save for a pair of blue cotton underwear.
"The panties as well." Akeno ordered playfully.
Xenovia hesitated. Why was she so nervous? She'd been naked in front of women before. Irina, Rei, Aika, Saya, she was perfectly comfortable being completely nude around all of them.
What made Akeno any different?
Slowly, she slipped out of her underwear as well and kicked them aside, still maintaining her back to the Vice President.
"Okay...now at your own pace, please turn around." Akeno spoke in a gentle tone, sensing Xenovia's discomfort.
She did as instructed and slowly turned around, keeping one hand under her two generously endowed breasts while the other covered her nipples.
"Do you want me to move my arms?"
"Only if you're comfortable." Akeno replied gently.
Xenovia slowly lowered her hands and stood before Akeno in all her stark glory.
"Goodness me…" Akeno placed a hand up to her cheek, her face flushed with arousal. "You truly are a gorgeous woman Xenovia. You realize that?"
She cast her gaze away as a light blush crept over her cheeks. "I am?"
Akeno scoffed. "Oh come now. I know you just recently left the Cloth, but you can't be that oblivious to it."
"I mean…" Xenovia shrugged her shoulders. "...perhaps I've been told such before. But I never really gave much thought to it. Such things were of little concern to me...until now."
Akeno quirked a mischievous brow at her. "Until now?"
"Something about the way you're looking at me." Xenovia explained. "It's as if I can feel your eyes on my skin."
"Should I stop?"
"It's...not unpleasant." Xenovia smiled demurely.
"Hmm." Akeno's smirk widened. "Well in that case, why don't we start?"
"Very well. But start what exactly?"
"I'm going to get you more comfortable with exploring your body before we perform the ritual." She explained before sauntering over to a nearby stool and taking a seat. "Come have a seat near me."
Xenovia did as instructed and sat on her knees in front of Akeno.
"We're going to start with something super easy. I want you to play with yourself a little in front of me."
She bit her lower lip nervously. "I've...never actually done that before."
"Don't overthink it." Akeno spoke encouragingly. "Just explore a little until you find a rhythm that works."
Xenovia thought back to when she inadvertently caught Irina touching herself. How she moaned delicately while reaching her hand down to that sinful place between her legs.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
She spread her legs and placed a hand on the ground before arching her back. With some effort she slid her hand down between her folds and played with herself as instructed.
"I'm not sure I'm doing it right."
Akeno giggled playfully at her. "It could be you're just not in the mood. It's not just about the physical touch." She stood up and circled around Xenovia before kneeling down behind her. "May I help you?"
Her face flushed and she nodded meekly. Akeno reached down and placed her hand over Xenovia's.
"Try moving your fingers a little slower." She whispered sultrily into her ear while guiding her hand for her. "Circle your clitoris in short little motions...there you go."
Xenovia took slow, heavy breaths, her face heated up as did her sex.
"I'm going to touch you a little more. You keep doing what you're doing and don't mind me." Akeno added playfully before gently gliding her fingers up Xenovia's skin.
The Holy Swordswoman moaned ever so slightly as Akeno's hands explored her body. Her breath hitched as the Vice President reached around her back to cup her two massive breasts in both hands.
"My God your twins are gorgeous." Akeno commented with a hint of arousal in her voice. "I'm a little salty if I'm honest. I kind of liked being the most well endowed girl in the Peerage."
"S...sorry...hah…" Xenovia's hand began to move a little faster and with more intention.
"Oh, I'm just teasing you, Hun." Akeno smiled against her ear and gently rolled her stiff nipples in both hands. "Hey...you asked me what my relationship with Jon is? I'm his Love Slave."
Xenovia went wide eyed and her skin raised.
"Mhmm." Her lips were so tantalizing close as she spoke in heated breaths. "I've willingly dedicated my body to his pleasure. To me, there is no greater feeling on this Earth than serving my Master."
"You did this...willingly?" Her voice shivered as Akeno played with her breasts.
"I did." She spoke without a single iota of regret. "I love Jon, as do all his Treasures. But for me, it goes beyond just simple lust or infatuation. I wear his collar and bear his brand because, more so than any other being, Jon owns me. Mind, body, and soul."
"You make him…" Xenovia's chest heaved as her hand moved faster still. "...you make him almost sound like…"
"...a God?" Akeno offered. "That's not for me to decide. Though he is the Red Dragon Emperor. Many consider that to be close enough."
Her hand stopped. "Is he...really as you say he is?"
"A Dragon's love is more than just a chemical. It's a spiritual experience. You may not know much in the ways of pleasure of the flesh, but I'm sure you've felt spiritual love before." Akeno reached her hand down and picked up where Xenovia left off. "You could feel that again if you wanted...and so much more."
Xenovia responded almost immediately to her touch, moaning louder than before and quivering much more feverishly.
"You're lost, Xenovia. I can see it in your eyes. You feel abandoned and you don't know what you are anymore." Akeno continued to speak softly into her ear. She tilted her gaze back and brought their lips so close Xenovia could almost feel how soft they were. "But I can help you find yourself again."
The Holy Swordswoman was at a complete loss for words. Her legs were trembling as Akeno continued to play with her quivering pussy.
"I...I…"
"Well?" Akeno's top lip was but a hair's breadth away from hers. "What shall it be?"
"Teach me." Xenovia finally relented. "Teach me how to find myself again."
Akeno grinned wickedly at her. "Absolutely, Silly Girl."
Jon spoke at length with Matsuda and Motohama as they made their way back to the President's House. The boys shared their stories of how they met their respective ladies while Jon shared with them some of the more intimate details that came with being a Dragon.
"So the Imprint is essentially like a love spell only...not?" Matsuda asked in confusion.
He chuckled. "Not exactly. The girls can explain it a lot better than I can."
"The Imprint isn't something that can be forced on someone like a love spell can." Asia spoke brightly while clinging to Jon's arm. "Our hearts opened up to him and answered a question, binding our souls to his."
"I still don't see how you make it work." Rei admitted while clinging to Matsuda's arm. "I'd get way too jealous if this one started looking at other girls."
"I was a huge skeptic too." Koneko spoke up. "But...I don't know. Things have just been REALLY good lately. For whatever reason, having multiple partners hasn't diluted our love, only multiplied it. I'm happier now than I've ever been."
"We all are." Asia pecked Jon on the cheek.
"That's all that matters in the end." Motohama smiled at them.
Jon pulled his ladies in close. "Now don't get me wrong, Polyamory isn't easy. I have to keep track of exactly which bad jokes I've used up on each partner."
Koneko rolled her eyes at him. "Well there's ONE you can add to the list."
They all laughed. At that moment, Jon's cell phone went off. Upon checking the call ID he saw it was Rias calling.
"Hey, Darlin. What's up?" His smile dropped. "Uh huh. Yeah...okay. So uhh...we're doing this right now?"
Koneko and Asia both gave each other nervous looks before staring back at him.
He nodded, a slightly bewildered look on his face. "Yeah I hear ya. All of us have to be there. Okay…yeah just give us a minute. Love you too." Jon hung up the phone and blew an exasperated breath through pursed lips. "So...we've gotta get back."
"Is everything okay?" Motohama asked nervously.
"Yeah." Jon nodded, though he had a distant look in his eyes. He wasn't scared just...stunned. "Just uhhh….Devil stuff."
Rei tugged on Matsuda's arm. "We should get to bed."
He nodded. "Agreed, today's been an ordeal."
As Matsuda and Motohama left with Rei and Saya, Koneko and Asia both turned and peered at Jon nervously.
"What's going on?" Koneko asked worriedly.
"So uhhh…" He scratched the back of his head, not sure how he was going to phrase this. "...I'll be honest. I have no idea how to tell you this."
Rias Gremory sat at her desk as calm as ever. Having just finished explaining to Jon, Asia, and Koneko what was about to happen.
"R...R...R...Ritual Sex?" Asia stuttered out the word, her face turning scarlet as her whole body quivered at the thought. "With Xenovia?!"
The President nodded in confirmation. "Everyone will be participating except for Kiba."
"And why is it Pretty Boy gets a free pass on this?" Jon asked in frustration.
"Considering everything he's been through recently I didn't want him to put him in a predicament that would make him uncomfortable." She calmly explained.
"Well what the hell about me?!" He asked indignantly. "Don't I get a say in this?"
"It's not as if we've never engaged in group sex before, Jon." She insisted confidently before leaning back in her chair. "You'll just have one more partner than you're used to."
He groaned before rubbing his temples with both hands. "See...you're talking about Xenovia. The woman who...up until a few days ago, was trying to KILL both Asia and me."
Rias nodded. "I'm aware. But that's all in the past now. This is the best way to add her to the peerage, Jon. Trust me."
"Have you even discussed this with her?" He still couldn't believe THEY were discussing this. "What makes you think she'll just-"
"Why don't you ask her yourself?"
Jon and the others turned to the right to see Akeno and Xenovia standing at the door. His jaw about damn near hit the floor upon seeing Akeno in her bondage gear, upon which he did an immediate double take seeing Xenovia in nothing but a silk lavender robe that exposed her busty cleavage in the most glorious way possible.
Asia and Koneko both immediately went into angry pout mode upon seeing the expression on his face.
"Hello Red Dragon Emperor." Xenovia bowed her head respectfully to him.
"Oh good, she's ready." Rias observed cheerfully. "Are you prepared to become a newly made Knight of the House of Gremory?"
She nodded, her head still bowed. "I am, Lady Rias. Akeno has spent much time prepping me. I feel I am adequately prepared for the ritual now."
Akeno giggled at her before casting two playful eyes at Jon. "Now go easy on her, Master. She's a tough girl. But she's still a beginner."
"Tell me this is all a joke." Jon insisted. "We're not REALLY gonna do this, right?"
"Oh but we are." Rias responded. "With her power added to my Peerage we will gain considerable influence in the Underworld. A Devil who can use Holy Swords will make for a powerful weapon."
"So...you're really okay with being turned into a Devil?" Asia asked in disbelief.
Xenovia nodded in confirmation. "I was desperate. Your Master wasn't going to consider it until I all but begged her to take me in."
"You BEGGED for this?" Jon asked incredulously. "Since when do you beg for anything?"
"Since my order betrayed me." She spoke indifferently.
"Hold on…" Jon narrowed his eyes at her. "...the Saintly Knights of Michael betrayed you too?"
She nodded. "Their treachery was not as...direct, as it was with you. I discovered evidence that the Church has been doctoring the Holy Bible since the Canon was first established by Father Athanasius back in 367 AD. The God I believe in was nothing but a lie to keep me and every other member of the faithful in line."
"That's…" Asia pressed a hand against her chest and collapsed back into the couch. "But that can't…" She shook her head repeatedly in denial. "...that can't be."
"Jesus…" Jon lowered his head and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "...I always suspected there was something up with the Order but...to tamper with the source of a third of the world's belief system like that…"
Xenovia nodded in agreement. "It disgusts me. But there's little that can be done. Their tampering was so thorough that the new version barely resembles the old. And any proof of what they did is locked securely away in the Vatican's underground vault. I can't continue to support an Order that's lied to me all my life, but if I were to confront them they would just have me killed."
"So you decided the smart thing would be to join up with us." Jon surmised.
She grinned at him playfully. "What can I say? I got the idea from you."
He blinked at her a few times. Was Xenovia flirting with him?
"It looks like you and I will be working together a lot more closely, Jon." She walked up to him and spoke in a noticeably fake girly voice.
"Huh?" Now he was just confused.
She frowned thoughtfully and bit her thumb, as if thinking about something. "Hmm...my goal was to imitate Irina's flirty behavior with you in order to pique your interest in me. But I guess I didn't do it right."
"O….kay?" He quickly brushed off the bizarre attempt at flirting and moved on to the other major issue. "So what does this mean for Irina? If she goes back there knowing what she does the Vatican will-"
"Her faith runs deeper than mine." Xenovia tried to sound assuring. "But yes...I worry for her safety as well."
"Unfortunately there isn't much we can do in that regard." Rias spoke plainly. "At least not until we've dealt with Kokabiel."
Jon frowned glumly before turning back to Xenovia. "So...you're really going through with this then?"
"Once the Church learns the truth of what I know I'll be branded a heretic and excommunicated." She calmly explained. "I'd rather beat them to the punch before they have a chance to send Hunters after me. Which reminds me…"
Her eyes then wandered guiltily over to Rias's Bishop.
"Asia...I owe you the sincerest of apologies."
Asia went wide eyed and placed a hand up to her mouth as Xenovia proceeded to walk up to her and bow her head pensively.
"The things I said to you…" Her voice drove home the pain and guilt she felt perfectly. "...what I almost DID to you...I was wrong. So terribly wrong. If you wish to hit me, you may."
"No thank you." She laughed nervously.
Xenovia shut her eyes tightly. "I finally understand how you and Jon both feel. The agony of treachery, the abandonment….I must have made you feel so worthless. If you never forgive me, I'll understand."
"Xenovia…"
She turned her head up to see Asia smiling happily at her. "Don't feel bad. In case you couldn't tell I'm incredibly satisfied here." She placed a hand on her chest and bowed her head with her eyes shut. "Even if I am technically a Devil now, I've never felt more blessed in my life. I've made a family that means the world to me." Her eyes welled up as she gazed at her Peerage. "I've never been this happy in my life. I love each and every one of them with all my heart."
Jon smiled at her, as did every other member of the ORC.
Finally, Xenovia smiled as well. "I see...then, in that case, I have a favor to ask of you." She knelt down on her knees.
"Please help me prove myself in this ritual so that I may join this family of yours."
Asia was taken aback at first but quickly recovered, nodding happily to her. "Very well. If that's what you want, I'll help you."
Koneko smiled and nodded. "I'll help too. Who knows, this may actually be kinda Hot."
They both turned and looked at Jon. With an exasperated sigh he finally relented.
"Ah fuck it. After that speech? I guess I'm in too."
Rias and Akeno both turned and gave each other knowing looks before nodding.
"Very well." The President stood up from her seat. "It's time everyone. The Ritual will begin immediately."
Jon and the girls had gone to Rias's room to prepare for the ritual. All the furniture save for the bed had been moved and a black mat with a white pentagram drawn on it had been rolled out onto the floor. In addition, red and black candles had been lit and placed strategically around the circle. While they prepared, Xenovia was blindfolded and instructed to wait on her knees outside. While she waited, the girls stripped Jon down to a pair of black briefs and painted their Dragon with black and red dye that Akeno had mixed together. Each of them dressed in an outfit similar to the one the Gremory Queen was wearing.
Rias was wearing a red latex corset dress with knee high boots and gloves that reached past her elbows. The dress was topless, leaving her breasts completely exposed. Save for her nipples which she had X'd out with black pasties. Finally, she complimented the outfit with a red masquerade mask.
Asia was in a snow white corset with matching knee high boots and glittery gloves. The corset cut off below her breasts, hoisting them high into the air. She paired this with a pair of silk white panties and a glittery silver mask.
Koneko's outfit consisted of a purple latex bodysuit complete with a tail and cat mask. The suit conformed to her body and curvy ass like a second set of skin and was crotchless, displaying her tight little pussy for the whole room to see.
If their objective was to get Jon riled up as quickly as possible it was working. As they drew archaic designs on his body in the paint, the massive bulge forming in his underwear became more and more prominent.
"Down boy." Koneko poked Jon's member teasingly which threatened to come bursting out of his briefs at any moment.
He groaned at her. "You know that ain't helping right? And how much longer is this gonna take anyway?"
"Patience, you." Rias spoke lustfully into his ear while drawing a sigel on his left pectoral with her dainty little finger. "I promise this will be worth the wait."
"Just remember to show me some love too." Asia pouted at him before placing a twenty five milligram loa table on his tongue then passing the vial to every other lady in the room.
Akeno snickered playfully. "Alright ladies, I think this will do. Master, how do you feel?"
"Like a Jackson Pollock original." He joked.
His Treasures giggled at him.
"I've been meaning to thank Mr. Zefford for the lovely new addition to our parlor." Rias commented.
"Shall I bring our 'guest' in?" Akeno asked, slipping a black mask on. "I imagine she's as ready as we are."
Rias turned to Koneko. "Is the chalice ready?"
She presented the black, hand carved goblet with red encrusted gemstones. In it was an alchemic mixture that each of them had bled their wrists into. "Got it right here, Rias."
She nodded appreciatively. "Very well. Akeno, bring her in."
Akeno kissed her fingers before brushing them against her Master's lips as she sauntered away, giving him a gorgeous view of her bouncy ass as she swayed to and fro to the door.
"Positions everyone." Rias ordered.
Jon and the girls each took a place at each point on the star of the Pentagram. As they did so, Akeno lead Xenovia into the room, still blind folded, guided by a collar and leash. The Vice President tugged her to the middle of the pentagram before tugging down on the leash, indicating she needed to kneel. Xenovia did as instructed and knelt down on the mat.
"Xenovia Quarta, neophyte Devil and former Holy Sword User of the Saintly Knights of Michael." Rias spoke in a powerful tone. "You kneel before me bearing your flesh, mind, and soul to be consumed by my House. Do you understand this?"
"I do." Xenovia spoke without reservation.
"Then reveal your flesh to us." She commanded. "And we will partake of our will."
She unfastened her robe and her naked breasts came spilling out, hoisted up by the full body harness she was fastened into. A series of leather belts that bit tightly into her skin and hoisted in all the right areas, but otherwise exposed all of her naked flesh to them.
"Akeno, please bind her hands and remove her blindfold." Rias requested.
Her Queen bent down next to Xenovia and cuffed her hands behind her back into the harness in a criss cross formation, tightly securing her wrists in place. She then removed the blind fold and whispered into her ear.
"Have fun, Sweety."
With that she took her place with the others, giving Xenovia a chance to let her eyes adjust. The Holy Swordswoman looked around at the masked faces peering down at her and, for the briefest moment, seemed to lose her nerve. She quickly regained it however with a deep breath and presented her chest to them, curving her back, and spreading her thighs.
Rias quirked a brow, a devious little grin forming over her lips. "Well...you certainly trained her exceptionally, Akeno."
Her Queen snickered. "Oh I can't take all the credit. She was an eager young pupil."
"What would you have your neophyte do for you, my Mistress?" Xenovia cast her gaze up to Rias.
Already, she was turned on. "Koneko, the chalice please."
Her Rook walked up to Xenovia and presented the cup to her lips. "Drink."
Xenovia placed her lips up to the rim of the glass and Koneko tilted its contents down her throat. She gulped the bitter, burning mixture until her eyes began to water from the pungent odor and flavor. Though her throat and belly burned horribly she didn't stop until she had consumed every last drop. Finally, Koneko pulled the cup away and Xenovia coughed.
"Now then….you will provide one sexual service of our choosing to each of us." Rias licked her lips lavishly. "Akeno, how about you start us off."
"Only if Master is okay with it."
Jon nodded. "Go ahead, Ju'Kara. Do your thing."
She grinned devilishly at him before lowering herself down to Xenovia and gripping her chin with her thumb and pointer finger.
"In lieu of a sexual service, I want you to sacrifice your first kiss to me."
Xenovia's eyes widened and her cheeks turned rosey.
Akeno cocked her brow at her questioningly. "Well?"
Finally, she nodded in understanding. "If that is what you desire then kiss me, Mistress." She shut her eyes and pursed her lips.
The Vice President brought Xenovia's lips forward and tilted her head to the side before kissing her deeply. She moaned into the display, her eyes shut and her tongue exploring Xenovia's mouth. Akeno held her there for a full minute, exploring her mouth greedily before finally pulling away. A tiny little fleck of saliva still connected them.
Xenovia's face was already heated, her breath hot from the passionate display.
"Well? How was it, Plaything?" She asked, her inner sadist coming out.
"It was...wonderful, Mistress." Xenovia panted in heat.
Satisfied, Akeno sat up and retook her place on the pentagram. Next up was Rias, who stood before Xenovia with her thighs parted and her hands on her hips.
"Are you prepared to serve me and my House in any capacity I see fit?" She asked sternly.
"I am, Mistress." Xenovia assured her.
Rias hemmed up her skirt revealing she was wearing absolutely no underwear to speak of.
"Then lick my pussy until I cum, Neophyte." She ordered with a devious look in her eyes.
Xenovia swallowed before shutting her eyes and leaning forward with her tongue out. She tried to remember how she played with herself in front of Akeno as a means of guiding her tongue. Slowly she began to lap at Rias's heat, noting the funny taste a woman's sex possessed.
"A little more pressure on the clit." Rias instructed, guiding Xenovia by the back of her head. "There we go." She tilted her head back in pleasure. "You did well, Akeno. She's not quite at Asia's level but she's got a solid technique down."
Asia turned her head away and blushed in embarrassment. It took several minutes of Xenovia running her tongue along Rias's wet heat before she could finally feel her orgasm building. The Neophyte Devil dutifully continued to lick her President's pussy while her arms remained bound behind her back.
""That's it...hah...just a bit more like that...hah." Rias's breathing hiked and her body stiffened as she came. Her belly quivered slightly but otherwise she mostly kept it to herself. Finally, she pulled away from Xenovia's face, now coated in her slick wetness. "That will do for now. Well done, Neophyte."
"Thank you, Mistress." Her tongue was a bit numb, but beyond that she was still holding strong.
Rias went back to her spot on the pentagram. "Asia, go ahead Sweety."
The Bishop nodded her head nervously before gingerly approaching Xenovia and kneeling down in front of her. "How are you holding up?"
"I'm fine." Xenovia smiled at her. "Your concern is appreciated, Mistress. But I promise I'll be alright."
She nodded, a nervous pout on her lips. "In...in that case…" Asia squeezed her breasts together with her forearms. "...please suck on my breasts a little."
The Neophyte dutifully opened her mouth and placed her lips around Asia's right nipple. As she sucked on her breast, Asia closed one of her eyes and moaned in arousal. For as timid as she was to ask Xenovia for sexual favors, it was clear she was enjoying this. Going the extra mile, Xenovia swirled her tongue around her nipple before moving to the other one and repeating.
"Oooo, I think she's getting into it." Akeno giggled teasingly. "How's it feel Asia Darling?"
She responded with aroused moans. Her face was heating up quickly and her chest heaved in rhythm with Xenovia's tongue. Finally, she pulled away, popping her breast off her mouth before shakily standing back up and retaking her spot.
"Koneko, you're up." Rias ordered.
The fiery Rook approached Xenovia and cocked her hip, glaring into her eyes searchingly. With her short stature, she was almost at the same height as Xenovia was on her knees.
"Anything is fair game, Rias?" She asked, clearly intending to put Xenovia's commitment to the test.
The President nodded. "Go for it, Koneko."
After narrowing her eyes at Xenovia a moment longer, Koneko turned around and fully unzipped the crotch of her latex suit, lifting the tail up and arching her back. Before bending forward until her hand rested on the mat.
"Tongue my asshole." She ordered.
Xenovia clearly hesitated. Jon was about to speak up when Koneko added with a roll of her eyes.
"It's clean." She wiggled her ass in her face. "Now come on. Get in there."
The Neophyte took a breath to steady herself. Just like with Asia and Rias, Xenovia leaned in and opened her mouth before placing her tongue directly on Koneko's tight little star. The Rook tilted her head up towards the sky and mewled in surprise. She wasn't expecting her to go quite that...deep.
"Oh my…" Akeno bit her knuckle until she drew blood. "...what an eager little salad tosser she is."
Rias grinned wickedly. "Now that's what I call commitment. How's it feel, Koneko?"
Her Rook was going cross eyed as she reached down and began playing with herself. Koneko's tongue was sticking out and her fingers were moving quickly over her little clit while Xenovia continued to tongue her asshole. It wasn't long before her orgasm hit and Koneko squirted all over the pentagram.
"I guess that answers your question, Rias." Akeno commented in a sultry tone.
Koneko returned to her spot, now a little wobbly.
"Alright Jon. It's time for the main event." Rias declared deviously.
Jon approached and the girls followed him. Akeno knelt down behind Xenovia while Rias and Asia draped themselves on each of his arms. Koneko slipped in behind him and slowly pulled down his underwear, allowing his massive erection to burst free. Xenovia's mouth fell open at the sight of it, causing Akeno to chuckle in amusement.
"I did warn you." She whispered playfully.
"What do I…" The Neophyte was still trying to wrap her head around the sheer size of him. "I mean...physically speaking this doesn't seem…"
"Oh it's gonna hurt." Akeno assured. "But once you adjust you'll be ruined for anything else, trust me."
Xenovia gulped instinctively.
"Let's see what she can do with her mouth first." Rias instructed. "Have her perform oral on him."
Akeno gripped her hair like a leash. "Remember what we went over. Relax your throat and cover your lips with your teeth the way I showed you, Neophyte."
"Yes, Mistress." Xenovia opened her mouth and leaned forward, shutting her eyes again.
"No." Rias spoke up sharply, gripping his arm tighter and pressing her breasts against him. "Look him in the eye when you do it."
She felt her heart skip in her chest. Xenovia hesitantly opened her eyes and gazed up at him. A jolt of electricity surged through her being as he gazed back at her with a piercing intensity she wasn't expecting. She'd looked this man in the eye before. Why was it suddenly so difficult?
"Something the matter, Dear?" Akeno asked curiously.
"N...no, Mistress."
Xenovia opened her mouth again, her eyes locked to Jon as she placed the head of his member around her lips and went down as far as she could manage. Nothing that men tasted noticeably different from women. She only made it about halfway down before her gag reflex triggered and she pulled back up.
Rias sighed. "Oh well. I guess Akeno is still the Queen of head."
"Keep going, Sweety." Akeno insisted. "You won't adjust unless you keep trying."
Xenovia went back down along his length, bobbing her head up and down while Jon tilted his head back and groaned in pleasure. Koneko, who was still kneeling behind him, leaned forward and began lapping at his balls with her tongue, adding to the stimulation.
"Better." Rias admitted. "But I think we can take it further. Asia?"
She nodded. "Tell us how this feels, Darling." Asia purred before reaching down and taking the base of his shaft in her palm alongside Rias and beginning to stroke.
"For fucks sake girls." He growled in pleasure.
Akeno stood up and took her Master's face in her hands before kissing him fiercely, allowing his tongue to slip into her mouth unabated and dance with hers. She arched her back and spread her legs more, proudly displaying both the collar on her neck and the brand on her inner thigh. The combination of Akeno's tongue swirling with his, Koneko lapping at his balls, Rias and Asia stroking him, while Xenovia sucked him off as best she could proved to be too much stimulation for the Dragon to handle all at once and he found his climax swiftly building.
"About to cum, Darling?" Asia chirped playfully in his ear.
"I want you to finish on her face, my Dragon." Rias whispered sultrily into his ear. "Mark your scent all over her for me."
Moments before he came, Akeno pulled Xenovia off his cock much to her surprise while Asia and Rias pumped him faster and faster. He cursed loudly before climaxing hard all over Xenovia's face. Who took it as best she could but still shut an eye and turned her head away from the very abrupt, and very healthy load that coated her face and breasts.
Akeno tsked her chidingly. "Now that simply won't do. Master's seed is a gift." She knelt down and licked some of his cum off of Xenovia's furiously heated cheek. "Like this."
"It's...hot." Xenovia commented in between shallow pants. "...and the smell."
"That's Dragon Pheromones you're smelling." Rias explained having just finished making out with Jon and allowing Asia to have her turn with him. "Intoxicating aren't they? They have a tendency to drive us all nuts whenever we get a whiff of them."
Akeno began cleaning Xenovia's face of cum with her tongue, clearly starting to lose herself.
"Lay her down, Akeno. It's time."
Xenovia went wide eyed and a lump formed in the back of her throat as the overtly turned on Akeno obeyed her President and pulled her down onto her back. With her arms bound and her power inhibited by the enchanted leather straps, Xenovia was completely at their mercy.
Rias and Asia then bent down and spread Xenovia's legs wide open. She stared down at her exposed heat, now soaked in her own wetness and her thighs trembled. This was really going to happen. Jon was going to stick that massive thing in her and break her hymen.
"Try and relax." Akeno whispered in her ear, clear arousal in her voice as she caressed her cheek assuringy. "It'll make the initial shock less painful if you don't flinch when he goes in."
Her breathing quickened, Xenovia was trying to put on a brave face but it was clear this was starting to become too much.
Thinking quickly, Akeno grinned. "Master, I have an idea." She reached down and spread Xenovia's folds with her hands. "Why don't you taste her first? We all know how much you love the taste of virgin pussy."
He quirked a brow at her. "You think she'll go for that?"
"Of course she will." Rias assured with a devious look in her eyes. "Isn't that right little Neophyte."
"Y...yes." Xenovia nodded, biting her lower lip nervously. Jon was staring at her...place and it was causing her whole body to shiver. "Do what you like."
"So you're giving me permission to do this?" He asked again more seriously.
"Why are you asking for my permission?" She was trying REALLY hard to get her mind off where his eyes were.
"Because I don't touch a woman without it." He insisted.
Koneko rolled her eyes at him. "A little late for that, Dude. She's already had your cock in her mouth."
Xenovia turned her head away and blushed.
"Hey, go easy on her." Jon chided Koneko gently. "This is probably a lot to endure all in one night."
"Just saying…" She muttered before lowering herself down and getting on her back. Koneko pulled herself between his legs and took his length into her mouth before beginning to suck.
He growled in pleasure and flared black smoke from his nostrils. "Alright then…" Jon lowered himself down to Xenovia's slick heat. "Let me know if I'm going too fast."
"Why...what are you about to-"
The moment his tongue hit her it was like a jolt of electricity surged through her body, hitting her like an electric rod. This felt nothing like when she was playing with herself. Xenovia wanted desperately to close her legs but couldn't in Rias and Asia's grip. Her body simply wasn't prepared for this kind of...stimulation.
And then Rias and Asia leaned down and started sucking on her nipples. Xenovia's eyes bulged out her head and her whole body curled.
"W...wait!" She squirmed and writhed in the bonds, trying desperately to get her wrists free. "This is too much...I'm...I can't-"
"Shhh." Akeno cooed in her ear. "Relax. Just let it happen."
"But...but it's...I...AH….AHHHHHH!"
A noise that was completely alien to Xenovia burst from her lungs as...something...happened to her. Something that her senses couldn't process. Whatever it was, it caused her to spray that same slick substance that coated her face after servicing Rias.
Akeno giggled sweetly while rubbing her cheek. Xenovia meanwhile, continued to lose her mind to this insane new feeling. "There you go. See? Not bad huh?"
"Wh...what was that?" Xenovia was completely out of breath as she spoke. "What the hell did he just do to me?"
"That was your first orgasm." Akeno explained to her sweetly.
"That's what an orgasm is?" Xenovia asked incredulously. "I never dreamed it would be so...intense."
"Fuck!" Jon slammed his fist down into the mat as he came down Koneko's throat. The rook popped her head up behind him and wiped a sliver of cum off her lip.
"He's good to go, Rias." She informed her.
"Wonderful." Rias circled Xenovia's nipple with her finger as she spoke. "No more delays. Jon, it's time."
Xenovia's wide gaze went back down to her swollen heat and her whole body trembled as Jon brought his massive thing to her entrance. It wouldn't fit, she was sure of it. Basic physics was not in her favor here.
He gripped her hips. "Are you ready?"
Xenovia shut her eyes tight and nodded her head, bracing hard. "Do it."
Jon slammed it in her, spilling her virgin blood on the pentagram just as Rias desired. What followed next was Xenovia violently screaming while struggling in vain to get out of the restraints. For a brief moment, it was exactly as Akeno had described. Unbearable agony she simply couldn't cope with.
"Easy. Easy." Akeno spoke calmly to her as Xenovia breathed in and out as if she were having a baby. "It's over. You did it."
Slowly she began to adjust. The warm sensation of her blood trickling down her thighs onto the mat helped bring her back to reality. Her virgin purity was gone, violently taken by a massive Dragon's cock.
The more she thought about it, the more that burning sensation in her forbidden place turned into something else. After adjusting to his size for a moment, she began to notice just how...full she felt. The heat of his thick thing inside her was warming Xenovia's belly and causing that unfamiliar sensation to build up in her again.
Finally, she spoke.
"You can move a little if you want." She said quietly. It sounded less like a statement and more like a request.
Rias quirked a brow at her. "Well well. It would seem she's gotten a taste for our Dragon's cock." She leaned down and whispered into Xenovia's ear. "Don't get too ahead of yourself now. I didn't say I'd let him cum in you."
Jon turned to Rias and gave her a look as if asking permission to continue. The President silently nodded and Jon began moving his hips, thrusting into Xenovia repeatedly. Her massive breasts bounced in rhythm with his thrusting and she moaned indignantly as her mind became clouded with pleasure.
Koneko reached down and began massaging Jon's balls in the palm of her hand while licking his ear. Rias and Asia resumed sucking on Xenovia's breasts while Akeno worked her way out of her panties and straddled the Neophytes face, putting her tongue to good use. As she did this, Akeno kissed her Master feverishly while simultaneously rubbing Xenovia's clit with her fingers in one hand and using her magic to suppress Jon's orgasm in the other.
Not wanting anyone to feel left out, Jon slid both his hands into Rias and Asia's sex and began fingering them in rhythm with his thrusting. Both his Treasure's immediately responded to his touch and moaned in arousal. Akeno pulled away from Jon's lips and motioned for Koneko to join them. The Rook stood between Akeno and Jon and pressed her ass into his face, mewling in pleasure as her Dragon began feverishly eating her out.
"Oh fuck! I think I'm about to cum!" Akeno declared.
"Shit, me too!" Koneko gritted her teeth as she tried to hold back.
"Me too!" Rias moaned.
"Ahhh, me too!" Asia cried.
"MMMM!" Xenovia went wide eyed as her whole body surged with another massive impending orgasm.
All five girls came at the exact same time, filling the room with a symphony of pleasure induced screaming. Jon pulled himself out of Xenovia while Rias and Asia flipped her over and pressed her face into the mat. They joined her in the same position with all three of their asses high in the air. Akeno and Koneko joined them as well, moving into the same position and forming a row of five gorgeous women begging for their Dragon to fuck them.
Starting on the left Jon gripped Koneko's waist and dove straight in. His Treasure mewled in delight as he thrust in and out of her, hitting in all the right spots to make her toes curl and her inner cat come out as she "Nyan'd" loudly in a massive orgasm.
Next was Rias. Who rode his shaft greedily, backing into her Dragon's cock while her ass bounced up and down along his length. She eventually lurched up and gripped the back of his neck while his hands reached around to play with her breasts. Rias rode her Dragon shouting "Fuck!" and "Shit!" and other such obscenities until she too felt her eyes roll into the back of her head and her toes curl as she came on him.
Next was Xenovia again. Who barely had time to come down from her last orgasm as Jon proceeded to drive himself deep into her once more. The feeling in her fiery flower was so overwhelming she bit into the mat, still struggling against her bonds and her eyes shut tight as she did her best to just grit her teeth and bare yet another overstimulating orgasm.
Jon pulled out of her to find Asia curled like a feline, wiggling her butt for him, a full pout on her lips. He slammed into her, and her eyes immediately crossed while her tongue left her mouth. Asia moaned and cried in pure bliss, relishing in every moment of the feeling that came with having her Dragon inside of her. Casting two lustful emerald orbs at him, Asia stared Jon directly in the eye as she came for him.
Finally, it was Akeno's turn. Who parted her pussy lips like an obedient Love Slave and happily sang her pleasure song for her Master as he fucked her thoroughly. Upon feeling her climax approaching she requested permission to cum for him to which he happily allowed her. Akeno then arched her back and sang once more, moaning out her pleasured thanks at being allowed to serve him with her slave flower.
He'd held back enough. Jon had tasted each girl and built himself up past the point of no return. Knowing exactly what was about to happen, the four girls grabbed Xenovia's paralyzed form and flipped her on her back before they sat up on their knees in a square around the neophyte.
"Open your mouth and stick out your tongue." Rias whispered sharply into Xenovia's ear.
She did as she was told and stuck her tongue out. The other girls followed suit and each opened their mouths with their tongues ready.
"FUUUUCK!" He bellowed.
Jon erupted. There was no other word that could better describe it. The massive climax that followed was nothing short of Jon showering all five ladies in his white hot seed. Xenovia, especially, seemed to get the brunt of most of it, her whole body, from her beasts, belly and face, all the way down to her legs, getting completely coated in him.
Meanwhile his four Treasures mostly got it on their faces and breasts, with only Asia and Akeno catching any in their mouths. Still not done, Jon pumped his cock once and sprayed another load of his seed onto all four of his Treasure's faces. They each swallowed what landed into their mouths before sticking their tongues back out and silently asking for seconds.
"Sorry girls…" He huffed and panted before chuckling, having realized he was now drenched in sweat. "It's gonna be a second."
Xenovia was a mess. Not just physically, her mind was completely shattered by the ordeal she had just endured. So many emotions raced through her head in her altered state of being. Pleasure, euphoria, pain, fear, anxiety, all a rich cacophony of pure experience that couldn't be put into words.
But above it all was the overwhelming, lingering smell of HIM. The Dragon who did this to her. Whose scent was making her head swim even still and cloud her mind. There was so much of him on her Xenovia couldn't help but wonder what would it have felt like if he had done that inside her? Perhaps she would never know as Rias clearly had limits as to what she was allowed to do with their Dragon.
Unless...she became his Dragon too. Then, theoretically, she could do whatever she wanted with him. The thought crossed her mind more than once as she slowly came back to her senses.
"We're not done yet." Rias assured before standing up and walking over to a nearby box. "This night is far from over." She pulled out a small ornate chess piece and brought it back to the group.
It was the Knight Piece. Xenovia's destined fate.
Before she could speak, she felt an invisible force lift her off the ground. All five of them stood around her as her body lifted into the air, her arms still bound by the restraints. A helpless sacrifice upon the Devil's altar.
"You've proven your loyalty." The President declared. "From this moment forward, you will serve my House."
Xenovia once again went wide eyed as the Evil Piece floated out of Rias's hand and merged with her chest.
"From this moment forward, Xenovia Quarta, you...are...mine."
Power surged through her being as her heart began to beat faster, pumping Devil's blood into her veins. Until at last, two great batlike wings sprouted from her back.
