A/N: Alright to a warning first this chapter does have some 18 content so if you're not a fan I'll mark it before anything happens so you can skip it.
Then a question, do you guys like the length I'm putting chapters at now (about 2k - 3k words) or would you like longer chapters (about 3k - 5k words). So far I've been trying to keep a consistant length and this is my first time writing a story in a very long time like this so any input would be helpful.
Finally, I am at a point in the story where I feel I can start working on other stuff so now I'm starting another story called "He Who Walks Alone." So look out for that soon.
As always enjoy!
After Bell and Eina dropped the news that they were together. Hestia and Lili both looked like their souls had escaped their bodies.
"My Bell, My Bell…" Hestia just kept muttering that same phrase to herself over and over. Lili still had her sanity intact but was not happy about the news that she was just bombarded with.
"Well congratulations, you two. Looks like we'll need to celebrate." Welf was excited about the news. After everything that Bell had been through he deserved to find someone to make him happy.
"Yes, on behalf of all of us we are very happy for you. Even if some of us don't show it." Mikoto looked back to where Hestia and Lili were sitting. "Now you two should go take the day to rest. We can hold off on celebrations for a little bit."
"Thank you. All of you for being so supportive." Bell said with a smile and took Eina by the hand and led her upstairs. "Well Eina do you need any help with anything?"
"No but thank you Bell. I'll be fine. My injuries are doing better so at least I can walk fine."
"Alright Eina if you need anything I'll be in my room."
"Hold on Bell. What about you? Are you okay?" Eina spoke with worry in her voice. She didn't know the toll killing Ainz was going to take on him. She saw the way his eyes shifted into a distant gaze into nothingness.
"Yeah I'll be fine. Don't worry about me." He then quietly went into his room with no other words.
'Oh Bell.' Eina followed suit and walked into her room. She quickly took off her armor and got changed into nothing but a white button up shirt and her panties. Eina then fell asleep as the events of the journey all hit at once.
After a few hours and the sun had set, Eina woke up. Off in the distance she could hear a quiet sob. She put her ear to the wall that was opposite Bell's room. Eina found the source. She quickly put a pair of shorts on and knocked on Bell's door. There was no answer for a moment then he finally responded, "Come in."
When she walked in she saw Bell sitting on the side of the bed facing the window with its curtains open. The moon light poured on him, almost making him glow. Even though it was still fairly dark, when he faced her, she could tell by his eyes that he had been crying for a while.
"Bell!" After seeing him in his state she ran over to him and hugged him, pushing his face into her breasts. "Bell, you lied to me! You're obviously not okay!" Eina went into advisor mode.
Bell couldn't hold back the tears anymore. He hugged her back and apologized, "I'm sorry Eina. I'm really sorry but everytime I close my eyes I see his face. I see Ainz the moment I killed him. I'm forced to relive the moment you almost died because of me."
"Shh Bell it's okay, it's okay. I'm here now and I'm not going anywhere."
Eina, still holding Bell, sat down on the bed next to him. "Bell let me show you something." The two separated and Eina started to unbutton the top of her shirt.
"Ah Eina!" Bell started to turn red as he looked away"
"No Bell, I want you to look." She opened her shirt a little to reveal a small portion of her bare chest. "You see this scar Bell. It's proof that you saved me. I'm only here because of you and what you did." She took his hand and gently placed it over her scar.
(Heads up this is where the 18 stuff starts.)
"Eina…" In the heat of the moment the two leaned in to each other and kissed. They stayed like that for a few seconds, then seconds turned to minutes before they separated, staring into each other's eyes.
"Bell, can we do more?" Eina asked with a hint of lust.
"Sure Eina." As Bell said that they once again embraced in a kiss. Eina then removed her shirt and took Bell's hand once again and placed it over her breast. With each grope she moaned in pleasure. She looked down to see that another had joined their party. Eina slid off of the bed and then proceeded to remove Bell's pants. "Eina what are you-" He was cut off.
"What does it look like I'm doing? I may not be strong enough to pay you back that way, but I can help with other things."
When she slipped off his pants to reveal his hidden weapon. It stunned her as it whipped out and almost hit her face. 'So this is what you've been hiding from me.' Eina put her hand over it and started to stroke it. She looked at Bell's face as he seemed to be in heaven. She proceeded to pick up in speed till she got an idea. She took his penis between her breasts and started to give him a titjob.
"Eina I feel something coming." Bell warned her as she just started going faster and faster till he exploded all over her breasts and face, covering her.
"How was that Bell?"
"That felt amazing Eina."
Eina had a smile on her face as she started to take off her shorts. Now before Bell stood a fully nude Eina. To him her beauty could rival that of the gods. "Well what are you waiting for? This is kinda embarrassing if I'm the only one." She said with a slight blush on her cheeks as she looked away. Bell knew what to do and he joined Eina. As he was undressing Eina got into position and bent over the window sill and stuck her ass out towards Bell in an inviting manner. Bell took her offer and acted on instincts. He gently guided himself into Eina as she moaned at being penetrated, it was a mix of both pain and pleasure. Bell looked down and started to panic as he saw blood start to trickle out. "W-wait Eina your bleeding are you okay?!" Bell being Bell had no idea what was going on.
"I'm fine Bell. It was bound to happen. I am or was a virgin after all. Now keep going." Eina reassured the boy who was now technically a man.
"If you say so." Bell then continued to slowly put it in. With each movement making him feel like he was in heaven. Finally he reached all the way. He then began to thrust in and out of Eina. Each motion making both of them feel in bliss. Eina was enjoying the attention, after everything she was glad that she was able to be alive for this moment. She was so happy that her heart fluttered with each thrust. She could feel something building up. The sensation kept rising and rising till finally she came. Her legs started to shake as, in her already weakened state, she felt like she was about to collapse but she regained her balance and pushed Bell onto the bed.
"Now it's my turn." Eina was speaking in a seductive voice as she sat on top of Bell and slid him inside of her once again. She started to slowly move up and down on him. She rode him like there was no tomorrow. Each time she moved her breasts would bounce with her in a hypnotic motion. Bell couldn't resist the temptation and he started to fondle her tits. Both of them had looks of ecstasy on their faces as they entered their own little world. "Bell I'm gonna cum. I want you to do it with me." Eina then leaned forward and started to kiss Bell once again. Bell took hold of Eina's ass and started thrusting harder and harder till both of them felt a sweet release.
Neither of them spoke aloud but they could feel their hearts in sync. Eina moved off of Bell and laid on her back, she instinctively spread her legs revealing one of her most vulnerable spots. Bell continued his conquest of Eina's body and started where he left off, only this time a little rougher. "Yes Bell. Keep going like that." Eina moaning his name only turned him on more and more making him go harder and faster. Eina was so lost in the pleasure that she kept cumming and cumming over and over again. She lost her senses and lost control over her own body. She was in such a pure state of bliss that her eyes started to roll into the back of her head making an ahegao expression.
"Eina I'm going to cum again!" Bell announced his warning.
"Go on you… you can cum inside." At Eina's response Bell filled her with everything he had left in him. Her legs shot straight up and Bell pulled out after finishing. He had released so much that it was actually pouring out of her. He collapsed and joined Eina on the bed, the two cuddling each other. Bell laid down on his back while Eina laid on his chest as he slowly stroked her hair.
"Hey Bell, from now on can you promise me you'll start telling me the truth?" Eina looked up to face him.
"Yes, from now on I won't hide anything from you."
"Well you don't have to hide everything. Some things are best kept secret that way there is still that mystery." Eina gave a slight giggle. After the two settled in, they both drifted off to sleep in each other's arms.
At the top of Babble tower a certain Goddess was raging at what had just transpired.
"THAT BITCH! WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS TAKING MY BELL FROM ME LIKE THAT!" Freya unleashed her fury as she threw a wine glass on the floor. 'Calm yourself Freya. She may have won this time but soon he will be all yours. Now isn't the time to rush, now is the time to plan.'
The next morning everyone in Hearth manor was awakened by a knock at the front door. Haruhime opened it to reveal that it was Hermes and Asfi.
"Lord Hermes, what can we do for you today?" Haruhime asked as she bowed down before the god.
"I need to speak with everyone quickly. At this moment all of you could be in danger." Hermes' usual easy going attitude was now replaced by one much more serious.
Everyone gathered in the common area and stood before Hermes, "So what is so important that you had to wake us up so early for." Hestia yawned looking slightly upset.
"It's about all these recent incidents with those people calling themselves The Ripper."
"Wait people? We thought it was just one guy?" Welf questioned confused at this statement. As the name The Ripper is the only thing connecting strings of murders.
Hermes explained the situation, "I've been doing some research ever since the first murder came to light. The Ripper isn't just one man but an elite killing squad who report to the goddess Hel. Before their attacks were random and brutal but now their goddess has her sights set on Bell." Hermes focused his attention on Bell now, "Haven't you found it strange that ever since your first meeting with one of Hel's children they have always set sights on you or people around you?"
"Now that you mention it." Bell started to trail off after all the pieces started to make sense.
"That was actually my intention when I sent you with Asfi. I wanted to see if they really were after you. So when I heard that a village suddenly went quiet I took a gamble and it seems it payed off." Everyone seemed to look slightly pissed at Hermes but it should have been expected that he was up to something. He then continued their discussion, "I want all of you to meet at the Hostess tomorrow. I want to gather as many people as I can. Anyone who is even remotely close to Bell is as risk of getting caught up in Hel's fury."
"Who else is going to be there Hermes?" Everyone was silent as Hestia asked her question. The Hostess made sense since Bell visited often and was good friends with Ryu and Syr. But, the way Hermes was making it sound like there were many more people involved.
"Well you're just gonna have to come and find out now won't you?" Hermes then swiftly left leaving no time for more questions. Asfi followed behind him.
"Where are we off to now, Lord Hermes?"
"Well Hestia was the easy one to convince. Now we have to go speak to Loki."
"Why Loki?"
"Bell is a friend of the Sword Princess. Even though she could take care of herself, Hel is a force to be reckoned with. For all we know she could slaughter everyone in Loki familia. It'll be better if we let them know and prepare for any future conflicts."
At Twilight manor, Hermes and Loki spoke in private.
"So what'd ya want me me mail boy?" Loki was slightly annoyed by Hermes dropping by unexpectedly.
"Well this is a matter involving multiple parties. For right now all I will tell you is meet at The Hostess of Fertility tomorrow night. Something big is happening in Orario and your familia might get caught in it. Also bring all of your executives and highest level members they're are gonna want to hear this information as well."
Loki had many questions for Hermes but before she could ask any he was already on his way out of the manor. 'The hell's he so worried about?'
After Hermes had left he went to The Hostess to book the place for the meeting the next evening and unload all the information he had on Hel's plans for Bell and anyone related to him.
The next evening, Loki, Finn, Gareth, Riveria, Ais, Lefiya, Tiona, Tione, and Bete all arrived at The Hostess. A few moments after their arrival; Hestia, Welf, Lili, Mikoto, Haruhima, and Bell with Eina in hand arrived. Hestia and Lili still were obviously upset at the fact of Bell being happy with another woman but they said that they would try not to intervene.
When they entered The Hostess all of the talking stopped as Hestia and Loki both stared daggers at each other.
"WHAT'S LOLI BIG TITS DOING HERE!" Loki was swiftly hit in the head by Riveria.
"WHAT'S LOKI NO BOOBS DOING HERE!" Hestia was swiftly hit in the head by Welf.
"Be nice you two!" Both Welf and Riveria said to their respected goddess'.
Hermes then revealed himself and called for everyone's attention. "Now both of you stop for a few moments. If I could have all of your attention we can get down to business on why I called you all here. Ladies could you all come out here as well you should be part of this." All of the workers in The Hostess filed in the dining area to join everyone else. Everyone turned to face Hermes as the air in the room began to change. "The reason for all of you meeting together is simple. Everyone here in this room could be in a hell of a lot of danger. The goddess Hel has set her sights on Bell." Bell could feel everyone turn to look at him. He started to panic as all of the looks gave off different intentions. All of his worry drained however when he felt a squeeze from his hand. He looked up and saw Eina looking at him with gentle, comforting eyes. Hermes continued, "Recently a village just outside of Orario was cut silent. I sent Bell, Ms. Eina, and Asfi to investigate. What they found was a pile of corpses and two children from Hel's familia. One of them was killed while the other disappeared."
Hermes was interrupted by Lefiya, "Killed? By who?"
"Well I'm not sure if I got permission to say." Hermes was then interrupted again, this time by Bell.
"It was me. I killed him but he almost killed Eina and if I didn't act she would be dead right now." Bell spoke this time sadness was not part of his tone. But pride, pride in the fact he was able to save the one he loved. 'No more dwelling on the past now is the time to move forward.' Everyone just looked at Bell in shock. Out of everyone in The Hostess, they all expected that Bell would be the last person to kill someone.
"Well there you go. Yes, Bell did kill him. This just puts everyone here in more danger. Hel and her familia is going to want revenge and she wants to get to Bell. In doing so she is going to try and get to someone close to him. We've looked into it and the people who seem to be most at risk of having some conflict with Hel would be the entire Hestia familia, Ais Wallenstein, Syr Flover, and Ryu Lion. We decided to bring everyone here to make defense easier. I have a plan to take the fight back to Hel but I'll need everyone's help. We suspect she isn't going to act right away so this gives us time. Everybody has three month's to train mentally, physically, and emotionally. We don't know what kinda cards she has so it's better to be prepared. For right now that's all the information we have."
Silence quickly filled the pub. All this news was too much to take in all at once. The fact that all of them could potentially be hunted down and the fact Bell had killed someone.
"Well now to lighten the mood everyone drinks on me!" Hermes announced which did pick up the mood. Soon after the bar was filled with laughter as everyone tried to relax before the fight ahead of them. Everyone partied well into the night.
Bell felt a tug on his shirt and saw Hermes, "Hey Bell you got a second?"
Bell followed Hermes outside so they could speak in private. He had an odd feeling though as whenever Hermes asks to speak with him in private things tend to go wrong. "What did you want to talk about Lord Hermes?"
"So I take it you two are a couple now?" Hermes put his arm around Bell's shoulder.
Bell started to blush as it was the first time someone outside of his familia called him and Eina a couple, "Yes we are. We just recently got together."
"Well good for you. I hope Hestia won't cause you too much trouble."
"Trust me she already has." Bell put his hand on the back of his head embarrassed by his goddess' behavior.
"Let's go back inside. I don't wanna miss any fun." At Hermes' statement the two went back to join the party.
As the night went on the festivities started to whine down. Hestia and Loki got into a drunken dual so everyone decided to call it a night and went their separate ways. Bell once again found Eina passed out drunk at one of the tables.
"Eina, Eina…" Bell shook her shoulder trying to wake her up. She didn't respond as she was out cold. Bell took her in his arms in a princess carry and to his surprise she was still conscious enough to put her arms around his neck, and then the Hestia familia was on their way home.
When they got back everyone retreated to their room's to rest for the long journey ahead. Bell took Eina to her room but when he tried to set her on her bed she wouldn't let go of him so he did the only logical thing he could think of, he got in bed with her and they fell asleep in each other's arms.
