By Elizabeth's command, Meliodas had walked past the Supreme Deity with only an awkward "hi". They entered the ballroom, which was filled to the brim with dancing couples, and they too walked past that room, Elizabeth leading him to the gallery.

Meliodas had never once been in the Angel's Palace and was amazed by each and every room he passed, especially the ballroom. He wanted to dance with Elizabeth for a while, and then kiss her for eternity.

Elizabeth, however, had a different plan for them. She was clearly irritated with her mother, and she sat down on a bench in the middle of the empty gallery, several pieces displaying the Supreme Deity with Goddesses bowing down before her, and it caused Elizabeth to be more annoyed than he had ever seen her.

"I just hate my mother! Whenever I get close to her, it's like my body is pushing me away from her!" Elizabeth stated in an irate voice. "Not that I care," She added.

Meliodas grinned at her. He wouldn't tell her, but Elizabeth looked absolutely adorable so angry. "It doesn't matter to me, as long as you're happy!"

Elizabeth visibly relaxed at his words, and Meliodas brushed his lips against hers. Meliodas was surprised when Elizabeth pulled his head closer, her sweet tongue entering his mouth. He decided to let Elizabeth take control, and before he knew it, he was lying on his back with Elizabeth on top.

Her tongue pushed provocatively inside of his mouth, dancing around, pulling Meliodas closer into her. Her body was moving in a way that made Meliodas' ache for her, long for her, yearn for her, and all with those movements that had him wrapped around her finger.

And then Elizabeth just had to brush her finger on the erection under his denim pants.

That's when he lost control. Meliodas flipped them over, trailing little kisses down her neck into her chest. Elizabeth arched her back, moaning in pleasure. He placed his mouth over her neck, sucking on the soft skin while Elizabeth shivered delightfully at the feeling.

"Eee!"

Meliodas growled at the foreign noise, before relaxing and turning around to see the Sins gathered at the door of the gallery. He noticed Elizabeth's blush deepened substantially, and he stood in front of her as to prevent further embarrassment.

"So that's what you were up to!" Diane giggled hysterically. "We were wondering where you two lovebirds were!"

"We're just doing the usual, you know?" Meliodas replied, putting on a smile. "Making out like couples normally do!"

Behind his grin, he was disappointed that he couldn't take things just one step further; and when Elizabeth was practically welcoming him to take her! He wanted to make them leave and resume what they started, but that was basically an impossibility at this point.

"Shouldn't we get going? The event starts in a few minutes!" Escanor said in a small voice, looking back and forth between the great hall and us.

Meliodas grabbed Elizabeth's hand, and began running down the empty hall into the great hall where the ceremony and feasts would start. Without a doubt, the rest of the crew was right behind him.

The great hall was a vast room filled with tables, and Meliodas saw one that had a reservation on it. Seven Deadly Sins, Elizabeth Liones. He headed towards the elegantly furnished table, twinkling china plates resting on the silken tablecloth.

He sat down in a mahogany chair, Elizabeth right beside him. The other Sins took their places, and without another word, the Supreme Deity's loud voice reverberated through the massive expanse.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I welcome you to the ten-thousandth Glory Gala!" A loud chorus of cheers erupted from the tables around them. "Today, we are joined by the Seven Deadly Sins, lead by my own daughter, Elizabeth!"

Meliodas had the urge to correct her, but he knew doing so would result in a bad relationship with her. He noticed Elizabeth stiffened, clutching onto his hand firmly with a tight smile.

"Just ignore her, Elizabeth. She can't boss you around anymore," Meliodas reassured her with a genuine smile, and they turned back to the leader.

"We are here to celebrate the defeat of Lucifer, the Demon King and his Ten Commandments, who have been an obstacle in our peace and unity for many millennia!" The Goddesses shared disdainful looks and even the Supreme Deity held a short frown.

"But we, as a whole, have come together and defeated the evil that were the Demons!" Escanor, Merlin and Ban all snorted at the idea, and they had the right to.

The Goddesses did not help at all, until Ludociel and the Archangels showed up to assist in the defeat of Estarossa and The Sinner. "And here we are today, thriving after the dark destruction that has been caused; and so, I toast to you a new beginning, a new year, a new era of harmony among all races!" Another ensemble of cheers spouted from the lively audience, carts with many foods stacked on suddenly appeared and were delivered to every table.

Everything that was served was absolutely delicious, but just then the screeching sound of a cart stopped beside their table.

The cover was lifted to reveal a full spit roasted pig, its skin a sizzling, mouth-watering golden brown, jaws prised around a forest green apple. Cuts of the pork had been served with a refreshing apple sauce, easing the perfectly cooked meat down. It had been accompanied by potatoes that were diced up in a bowl with carrots, mushrooms and cucumbers topped off with a dash of black pepper that stung his throat in the most pleasurable way possible.

Meliodas was just finishing the last bite of pork when he noticed Elizabeth picking at her food. He was about to offer to eat it, but when Elizabeth let out a sorrowful sigh, he could tell that something was wrong.

He wanted to discuss it here in case they brought more food, but he knew Elizabeth didn't like talking in public areas, so he took her hand and walked out of the great hall without explanation. Merlin was about to follow, but Escanor kept her back, almost as if he knew what was going on. Escanor gave him a warm gaze, before turning back to conversate with Merlin.

When they reached a spiral staircase, Elizabeth lead him into a pink room with a large bed in the middle.

They sank into the mattress, Elizabeth still looking depressed. "So, what's wrong?"

"I-I'm s-sorry, Meliodas, its just that I… everything from when I was little is starting to come back to me." Elizabeth gestured to the room. "This was my old room, and I would always play in here by myself for hours on end because my mother didn't have enough time," Elizabeth sounded bitter about her past, and she was clearly fighting back tears.

She was about to say more, but Meliodas put on finger on her lips, silencing her. "I understand, Elizabeth. You can tell me anything, there's no need to say sorry," Meliodas said, and a speechless Elizabeth relaxed visibly at the sound of him.

Meliodas didn't have the will power to stop himself, so he placed his mouth gently on hers. It was a slow, deep, delicious kiss that had them both drowning in passion, but at that moment, Meliodas felt all control that he once had disappear.

Elizabeth let out a soft moan as the kiss sudden became fierce. Meliodas pushed her onto the bed before deepening their kiss, desperate for more. She gave into him so sweetly; her wrists being pinned down by his strong hands, and his darkness was slowly overpowering his rational side.

He knew that he was fighting a losing battle, yet he couldn't stop. She was so enticing, so sweet and delicious; there was no reason to stop! His darkness raged inside of him, demanding to claim Elizabeth as his own. His growing erection strained against his pants, and he realized he needed her.

But he didn't want to hurt her.

With that in mind, he pulled away from the kiss. Elizabeth followed, wanting more, be he pressed her back into the bed and stared into her ocean blue eyes, panting heavily.

Fuck, this was harder than he thought it would be. Why did she have to look so seduced right now?

"Elizabeth," He panted, and hearing his voice made him realize just how close he was to losing it. His darkness was in control now, and it was taking an incredible effort just to hold back for a few seconds. He could feel his demonic power swirling around him, spreading out to touch Elizabeth's thigh and curl around her leg. She stared at him with those sapphire eyes, which were now clouded with lust. How he'd long to see her eyes when he took her, but that wouldn't help his cause right now. "Elizabeth… this is… your last chance to tell me to stop…" Although he wasn't sure if he'd be sane enough to hear her answer, he mustered the last of his willpower to hear her out.

"Meliodas…" Elizabeth's soft voice was the only thing he could hear, resonating throughout his entire body. "I've travelled with you for so long, and you have always been there for me, always protecting me. I trust you with my life, and I know you wouldn't hurt me," Her lustful eyes met his. "So, I'll tell you what I want," Meliodas was impatient to hear her answer, his erection throbbing painfully with every passing second.

"Take me, Meliodas,"

With those three words, he lost control. The sound of shredding clothes filled the air, and Elizabeth was naked before her lover. Meliodas stared down at her with libidinous eyes, taking in every curve, every freckle, every scar with a greedy grin. She was his, his woman, his angel, his life. She was perfect in every way imaginable.

Elizabeth let out a surprised mewl as Meliodas returned to kissing her hungrily, and his hands began to wander over her flawless body as he kissed her senseless. She gasped as his fingers brushed over her nipples delicately. Hearing the lustful sound, Meliodas grinned. He'd always known she was sensitive there, every time he fondled her breasts, he could feel her nipples harden. He pulled away from their fervent kiss before descending on a breast.

Elizabeth let out a whimper as he pulled the sensitive bud into his mouth and sucked.

"M-Meliodas!" Elizabeth moaned with her beautiful voice as he teased and pinched and sucked at her for several minutes. When he had finished with her breasts, he moved lower, down her curvy figure and into her most private areas, the places that no man had ever been before. He grinned hungrily at her virginal arousal, the desire to fuck her relentlessly completely fogging his mind,

With a grin, he descended on her untouched core, finding her clit and sucking the nub into his mouth. The cry that followed was a divine sound, giving Meliodas more reason to continue.

Elizabeth panted and moaned as Meliodas gave her an experience of pleasures that she never thought could exist. She couldn't even tell what was happening anymore, but it felt amazing!

Hearing her cry in ecstasy, he licked and sucked at her sensitive pearl at an easygoing pace, thrusting a finger into her in sync with his mouth, grinning as she cried out his name. He waited for her to get used to the sensations, and then slipped another finger into her. Without giving her time to adjust to the intrusion of another finger, he curled his fingers inside of her, hitting the sweet spot within her that had her quickly crying out in euphoria.

He doubted she even knew she came, and he slowed his licking and pulled his finger from her body, tasting the juices coating his fingers and hand. So sweet, so delicious.

Fuck, he couldn't hold back anymore. With a growl, he tore his own clothes off and practically attacked Elizabeth, as she mewled in surprise as he covered her mouth with his. He pulled her long, slender legs up around his waist, grinning widely at the fact that he was now taller than her. He ground his arousal against her soaking folds, grinning through their kiss as she let out another moan.

He couldn't resist anymore, and with one thrust he was buried deep inside of her. He let out a blissful groan, burying his face in her luscious breasts as he felt her virginal walls clamping down on his arousal. Elizabeth let out a small whimper of pain, and Meliodas felt her nails digging into his back.

Hearing another whimper, Meliodas stopped momentarily, just enough to see her face. He frowned at the tears filling her eyes and the look of pain etched onto her face. His lighter side surged forward, and he was filled with regret for causing pain to his sweet Elizabeth. He leaned down and licked away a stray tear that escaped her eye and held himself still long enough for her to adjust to the sudden intrusion.

He peppered her neck and jaw with kisses as he waited patiently for her to relax, and when he heard her moan as he sucked at her neck, he knew she was ready. With a wild grin, he pulled back and thrust into her, coaxing gasps and moans from her. Elizabeth was so adorable, he couldn't wait to corrupt her.

He grunted as Elizabeth moaned and cried out beneath him, singing him the song of her rapture. She clung onto her demon tightly as he had her falling into nirvana over and over again; Meliodas couldn't stop with her. As soon as she came for the fourth time, he let out his own roar of satisfaction, long tendrils of white shooting into her core.

The two laid side-by-side, naked and tired. Meliodas looked into her crystal eyes, as she let out a satisfied sigh. Meliodas grinned at Elizabeth's cute, adorable self as she fell asleep in his arms. Meliodas ruffled her hair, letting out a tired yawn, and he too was sucked into the black vortex of sleep.
