Meliodas couldn't help but stare dreamily at Elizabeth, her perfect, curvaceous body fitting perfectly into his. He resisted the urge to just take her when she was so vulnerable; his arousal was proof of that.
Elizabeth moved slightly, causing shivers to make their way into the core of his body. Her luscious lips rested on her angelic face, and her silver-blue hair brushed softly against his chest.
Meliodas imagined them together in the future, hanging out in the forest, swimming in the seas, flying in the clouds; hell, maybe he'd even propose soon! And then they could have a child. Meliodas had never even thought about siring a child, but as the idea unfolded in his mind, having a kid with the love of his life wouldn't be half bad.
His focus moved back to Elizabeth. Just lying in bed with her made his day, and he'd stay here all day if he could. The sun shone brightly in their room, and the chirps of birds echoed throughout the forest. Below them on the main floor, he could here the shouts and squeals of the gang, probably bickering about something.
"Meliodas?" A quiet voice whispered.
"Yeah?" He whispered back, looking at Elizabeth with pure adoration.
"I... I love you,"
Not another word escaped her mouth as Meliodas crashed his mouth onto hers, pure bliss blooming through their bodies. Meliodas was over her in a second, exploring every inch of her mouth with his tongue, unable to register anything else except for his sweet Elizabeth. Soft moans reverberated through his ears, driving him crazy; Meliodas couldn't get enough of his precious angel.
Their hands were tangled in the others' hair, both pushing and pulling, desperate for more. Meliodas felt her silken skin on his, and the urge to just take her was irresistible. They were like the ocean, swaying, crashed together, so wild yet so calm.
"Elizabeth..." Meliodas sighed contented. He ruffled Elizabeth's hair before standing up to stretch, putting on a white polo and black pants.
"How do I look?" Meliodas asked her.
"You look i-incredible, Meliodas," Elizabeth flustered with each word, her gaze sweeping over him timorously.
Meliodas chuckled warmly at her reaction. "You better get dressed, we open soon!" Meliodas planted a kiss on her head before turning around, leaving Elizabeth in the room alone.
"What's for breakfast, Ban?" Meliodas asked jauntily, settling down on the table. "I'm starving!"
Without warning, a pancake hit him straight on in the face. "Pancakes, Captain!" Meliodas finished the pancake in one bite, wiping his face only to have another one thrown at him.
"Ban, don't hit people in the face with food; it's disrespectful!" Elaine's soft voice rang out throughout the hall.
"Fine," Ban grunted as he set a plate of steaming hot pancakes on the table in front of him. "You better be glad that Elaine is here, or I woulda thrown all the pancakes in your face!"
Meliodas gave his best friend a thumbs up and then moved his focus on eating. He devoured the stack of pancakes, bits of it flying all over the place until all that was left was an empty plate. "That was some good food, have any more?" Meliodas said provocatively, patting Ban on the head.
"Damnit, I forgot how big your appetite was!" Ban said, shrugging "Well, I'm too lazy to make more food. I'm going with Elaine for some 'private' time, if you know what I mean," Ban wiggled his eyebrows before picking up a squealing Elaine and walking over to their room.
"Well, we know they won't be out for a long time!" King and Diane appeared from across the room holding hands.
"But isn't the tavern supposed to open in a few moments?" Gowther queried, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose. "How will we serve our customers if our chef isn't preparing us food?" Then, he struck his usual model pose that meant he had a solution. "I know! I will go into their room and get Ban back!"
Before any of them could stop him, Gowther had opened the door to the two's room.
A horrifying scream echoed throughout the building. "Get out, Gowther!" Ban screamed, kicking him out.
Meliodas chuckled at this as the Merlin, Escanor and Elizabeth rushed to the scene. "What happened?" They said in unison.
"It appears Ban and Elaine were naked and prepared to perform a sexual act," Gowther said in an informative way.
"Gowther went into their room when they were getting all hot," Meliodas explained, before he set his eyes on Elizabeth.
She was wearing her usual outfit, but for some reason he couldn't take his eyes off her; it was as if his eyes were glued to stay in one place.
He felt a little drool gather at the corners of his mouth as he stared at Elizabeth, who was beautiful as ever. The outfit nicely accentuated her assets, and her sweet smile complimented the rest of her body perfectly. The pink button-up shirt showed off her curvy body plentily, and he was glad that he could call his sweet Elizabeth his.
"Captain, don't you know it's rude to stare?" Merlin asked in a tedious voice, yawning as she rested her head on Escanor's shoulder. "And also, you're drooling,"
Meliodas shook his head, ridding himself of the spit that had gathered on the edge of his mouth and awakening his mind so that he wouldn't distract himself again. "Who drooled?" Meliodas grinned sweetly. "All right people, let's get the Boar Hat Tavern ready to go!"
Giggles and cheers rang throughout the room followed by loud footsteps of his companions going to perform their usual job, and just as Meliodas got all the tables set up and cleaned, the bell that signified a customer dinged, resonating throughout the tavern.
"One Bernia Ale, please!"
Elizabeth put on the finishing touches to her outfit, spinning around to see if it was good enough. Though she didn't care to impress her mother, she did care to impress her friends and especially Meliodas.
The sleeves and blouse were vaguely of a gypsy cut, all done in dark, midnight blues flecked with white that seemed to undulate of their own volition. The long skirt consisted of ruffled tiers of darkening shades of blue that ended in a ragged hem just above the ankle.
"You look knockout gorgeous, Elizabeth!" A voice said, and she turned around to see Diane squealing, jumping around before giving her a hug. "Meliodas is going to die when he sees you!" Diane moved around, scrutinizing the dress from all angles.
"What about me dying?"
Elizabeth turned around, flustering when Diane ran out winking at her suggestively. "Umm... nothing," Elizabeth looked down, slightly embarrassed.
"You know, you look simply irresistible right now, angel," She instinctively shrank into his warm body as his hot breath washed over her neck, slightly tickling her. "Should I take you right now?"
Elizabeth was shocked by the lewdness of his question. "W-w-what?"
Meliodas seemed to be enjoying teasing her. "I'm just kidding, Elizabeth. But don't get me wrong, I'm up for you it if you are!" And with that, Meliodas walked out of the room.
Elizabeth dropped to the floor, before giggling to herself. It was just like Meliodas to be like that, make a perverted comment and then leave her hanging on every last word that had come out of his mouth.
"Come on, Elizabeth, let's go!" Meliodas' head appeared, a few blonde hairs sticking out of his head. "What are you waiting for? The Glory Gala awaits!"
"Coming!" Elizabeth rushed down the stairs to the rest of the Sins, who were all dressed nicely.
As they opened the door, the city of Arcadia stood before them in all of its luminescence, shining like an eternal sun. Goddesses were all gathered there, and she took a moment to compose herself.
Memories of her home flooded her thoughts as they walked through the golden architecture that made up the city. Shops and restaurants decorated the streets and flowers were just about everywhere; even if it wasn't her first time in Arcadia, she was still astounded by the city. Elizabeth glanced over at her friends, watching them gaze around in magnificence. If she had been here a million times and was still amazed by her hometown, she couldn't even begin to imagine what they were feeling right now.
As they neared the Angel's Palace, the buildings grew even fancier, and houses and mansions replaced malls. The inner circle of Arcadia was where everyone lived, and there were multiple schools for Goddess children to attend. Numerous parks and playgrounds dotted the place, and wildlife thrives in these almost perfect conditions.
When the Angel's Palace finally appeared, many golden chariots surrounded the massive building, and people were streaming into it in huge quantities. The outside was painted white to represent the light, while the inside had been decorated with expensive furniture to compliment its image.
"It's bigger than I ever thought it would be!" King said quietly, amazed by the spaciousness in the Palace.
"Can we go in yet?" Diane whined, pushing all of us forward to the entrance. "I want to see the inside of it!"
The entrance to the place had a huge line to it, and with there only being one security guard at the door to check the legitimacy of a ticket, Elizabeth estimated it would be a long time until they could get in.
"So, are you excited to see your mom again?" Meliodas asked casually, putting one arm around her.
Elizabeth shot him a glare. "No, of course not," Elizabeth turned away and sighed.
"Come on, don't be so down! We're all here at a party; you should be excited!"! Meliodas cupped her cheek, and Elizabeth gave in.
"Alright fine," She put on a reassuring smile. "Just don't expect me to 'reunite' with my mother,"
Meliodas gave her a thumbs-up before turning back to his conversation with Ban.
Elizabeth tried her best to think happy thoughts, and the time she found Meliodas in her current reincarnation came back to her.
That is, until the 'click-clack' of high heels made her turn around.
A woman with long, silver hair and blue eyes looked back at her. She was wearing a light blue satin dress with crystal high heels and a fake smile.
Oh boy, she thought in her head. The crap-spewer fire-breathing three-headed monster has come back.
"What do you want, Mother?"
