"Mwahahaha, read em and weep," Mara yelped as she laid down a pair of queens and a pair of sevens.

"Oh my." Urd pretended to be disappointed, and smoothly showed her pair of aces and three of a kind. "Hm." She said, smirking and placing a finger on her lips. "Well! Looks like you lost after all, demon."

Mara drained her cup and slammed it down on the table. "Damn!" she cursed "You are a freakin' cheater!"

Urd batted her eyelashes innocently, "Goddesses never cheat, dear. You lost."

Mara rumbled threateningly and leapt to her feet, cocking a fist back. "Goddess my ass! You're half demon! You cheated, you bitch!"
"Never. You know I lose my license if I lie." Said Urd, rising slowly and smiling dangerously. "And now, I will collect my winnings, if you please."

"No way!" yelled Mara, blushing and lowering her fist, "I don't have to pay up if you cheated!"

Urd slitted her eyes and tapped her lips. "Right here, please… Ma-chan."

"Nooo!!" howled Mara, clenching her fists.

Urd turned away, shrugging nonchalantly. "Ok. Have it your way, devil. Since you're too chicken to we'll just…."

Mara cut her off "What did you say?" she asked ominously.

"Hm, I believe I said….CHICKEN." Urd kept her back turned to Mara, grinning wildly. Oh how she loved giving this uptight demon a hard time. She turned around to say something else, and saw Mara's face closer to her than she expected. She started in surprise, and tried to back up but Mara was too quick, and leapt forward, pressing her lips down hard upon Urd's, eliciting a small surprised squeak out of the goddess.

"Oops. The 'proving a point' kiss." Urd thought, her teasing had gone a little too far, and she tried to gently push Mara off with a finger against her stomach, but Mara simply growled and held on to Urd tighter. Urd could feel the tips of Mara's sharp teeth bruising her lips, and it was very, very… hot. She opened her mouth unconsciously, and Mara freaked, pulling away from Urd, gasping. Both goddess and devil were breathing heavily, and Mara panted, "You never call a devil chicken, goddess."

Urd was speechless, she stood, not knowing what to do, and the shoulder of her shirt slowly slipped down again. Mara's eyes followed it despite her commanding them not to. Urd caught the look and smiled. She had regained her breath and winked, "Mhmm. Well. Not the best I've ever had, but…."

Mara snarled, "What do you mean, not the best? Are you insulting me? How many people have you kissed?!"

Urd shrugged. "Eh, you know. Too many to count. Unlike you. Have you even kissed anyone ever?"

Mara looked offended. "Of course I have! A lot. And…I'm sure I could do better, but…"

Urd's breath caught. "But what?"

Mara looked flustered. "But, you know, you're not attracted to me?" It came out as a question, without her meaning it to. Urd cocked an eyebrow.

Mara continued, words tripping over each other "It'd be different if you wanted me. Or if I was a boy."

Urd looked down, and then looked back up calmly. "Who says I don't?" she said playfully. "Who says I want a boy?"

Mara's face registered shock. "Wha… But you know, we're friends…" she started to say, but Urd was sliding towards her.

"If I recall," Urd said, hooking her fingers in the waistband of Mara's pants, "You have never been the best at discerning people's feelings and intentions. As a general rule, devils suck at that sort of thing."

Mara panicked and tried to scuttle away from the goddess, but Urd had her held tight and unmoving, with strength that Mara never knew she had.

"Now, you thick-headed demon." Purred Urd, "Kiss me like you mean it." And Mara found, much to her surprise, she couldn't refuse.

Their lips met cautiously, sealing for a brief moment, before Urd felt those pointy canines pushing again, and she groaned softly. She pushed her lips more fiercely down on the devil's, wanting to feel more fang, shoved her hands through Mara's hair and the momentum carried them across the room until she had Mara pinned up against the wall with a thud, her cape swirling around the both of them. Mara could feel Urd's mouth opening aggressively and she did what she knew she must. She opened her mouth to Urd's, and then their tongues touched. Mara let out an involuntary shudder. Urd noted the shudder and shoved her into the wall more forcefully, entwined her fingers in the devil's hair, giving another groan into the demon's mouth. The goddess ran her tongue carefully over the demon's twin eyeteeth, liking the dangerous feel, but liking the way Mara's hesitant tongue slid its way into her mouth even more. Urd's thigh came up swiftly and planted itself between Mara's legs, pinning her more effectively against the wall. Mara felt heat rush to her face and…lower, and at a loss for what she was supposed to do hesitantly dipped her head to graze Urd's neck with her teeth, only slightly biting down.

Urd made a very unladylike sound and her thigh tightened appreciatively into Mara's crotch.

Mara gasped at the contact and broke away, holding Urd off of her, having to use all of her strength to hold the forceful goddess at bay.

"W-wait," Mara stammered, "I'm n-not drunk enough to do this. A-and I also don't want to if this is just some point you're trying to prove."

Urd tilted her head slightly, purple eyes shining, pleased to see the demon showing something besides anger. "What? Why not? You'd have to be drunk find me attractive?"

"N-no. That's not what I meant! Screw you! Why do you always turn everything around?"

" Baka." Urd whispered. "Don't you see that I want this? Not to tease, not to experiment, but because I want it, and have wanted it for a while now. You are awfully irresistible, devil. So I'm not going to try."

"W-what?" stammered Mara.

"Hello?" Urd smiled briefly, tracing a finger lightly down Mara's face, "The old dare you to kiss me ploy? You've never used it?"

Mara looked at the goddess, silver hair gleaming, looked deep into the goddess's lovely eyes, so beautiful, so dominant, so…sure of herself. Mara couldn't have resisted if she had wanted to. Her red eyes dropped shut and she pulled the goddess's face back to her own, "Urd…" she whispered before kissing the goddess again passionately. Urd made an approving noise deep in her throat, and slid her hands around the demon. They kissed for a good long while before Urd decided it was time to lose some clothes. She gently nudged her devil towards the bed while still kissing the hell out of her.

Urd had indeed been right. Underneath all that leather Mara was soft and pliable, pale skin smooth, smallish high breasts tight under her fingers. "Mmm…" she purred, stopping to appreciate the view before slowly unclasping Mara's cape.

"What?" Mara asked worriedly, suddenly drained of all her confidence and attitude. "What's wrong? I know they're not as big as yours… Sorry…" she drew her hands over her chest, trying to cover it, embarrassed at the comparison between her humble assets and Urd's full and glorious bust.

"Stop it. Don't apologize. I like that they're smaller than mine." Urd chuckled, grasping Mara's wrists and pulling her hands down, "They are perfect, you are perfect, you are really quite beautiful. I have always thought so." Mara tried not to blush at this deluge of compliments, and failed. No one had ever called her beautiful, much less someone as gorgeous as Urd herself was. And Urd had always thought so?

"Aw, little demon." Urd leaned over, pulled Mara's hair aside and breathed into the demon's ear very silkily, pleased at the fierce blush that engulfed Mara's cheeks. "You'd think as a devil, you'd be a lot more sure of yourself. Look at you, pulling the chaste and innocent uke. I could just eat you up." And she bit down very gently on the demon's ear. Mara started to protest a little awkwardly, but in one swift movement Urd had leaned back up, removed her own shirt, and all the devil could do was gasp. Urd's breasts did not fail to live up to all of Mara's previous fevered imaginings. It dawned on her in this moment that this was what she had always wanted but never admitted to herself. This is why she couldn't keep her eyes off Urd's cleavage, checking out her ass at every opportunity, and why she flinched in annoyance when she caught men doing the same. All of it came together in this one moment with the goddess's flawless body hovering above her and the silken lips brushing against every inch of her skin.

As they got more intense and more naked, they learned the little things that they would have never expected of each other. Such as Urd had a huge thing for being bitten, HUGE, and Mara was more than happy to comply, her teeth seemed made to do just that—bring goddesses to a thumping gasping arch and making them moan in ways goddesses probably shouldn't. And she accidentally broke the silky skin that tasted oddly of salt and flowers more than once, but Urd simply purred happily and pulled Mara's head closer. And Urd, naughty seme that she was, was taken aback when Mara flipped her over, barely exerting any force, and straddled her, garnet eyes slitted in concentration, unsure of what she was doing but damn ready to figure it out.

The goddess fell in love that night. Fell in love with the devil's sharp teeth, the way it smelled of smoke and sin at the base of her neck, and was both surprised and charmed at the trail of downy golden hairs that peppered the demon's taut torso. Mara was embarrassed that she noticed, but Urd only inhaled reverently and brushed the fuzz with her thumbs before showering the demon's stomach with kisses. And when it was over, both goddess and demon flushed and sweaty (who knew the immortal sweated?) Urd, so unlike her usual flippant self, cuddled Mara very carefully and tenderly, their hair tangled together. The demon felt the goddess' exquisite lush body pressed up against her naked back, warm and satiny and still sticky with sweat, and shuddered once more, falling asleep to Urd's gentle breath on her neck.

Urd was awake long after the devil had drifted off to sleep. She looked at Mara sleeping, her normally angry face smooth and one exposed canine protruding and smiled a little sadly, pulling the sheet over them both.

The next morning, Urd rolled over, covered in love bites, to find a pair of crimson eyes trained intently on her. She started, surprised that Mara hadn't escaped in the night, and then smiled indolently. "Morning." She yawned, sniffing surreptitiously at the scent of demon and sex that she was exuding, and deciding she liked it. A lot. She grasped Mara possessively and buried her nose into the side of her neck, wanting to get more of the smell of sleepy spicy demon.

"Morning." Mara mumbled, not smiling back and averting her eyes both from Urd's intimate gaze, and especially from the bright red toothmarks that dotted the perfect tan skin.

Urd's forehead wrinkled. "What is it?"

"Nothing," muttered Mara, tugging at the sheet to cover her naked body, uncomfortable with Urd's brazen disregard for any morning after propriety.

"God!" exclaimed Urd, eyes widening, "No, don't be like that! Are you regretting last night? I was under the impression that demons had no scruples?"

Mara rolled over, so that her back was facing Urd, face hidden in a mass of blonde. "No. That was the best freakin s—it was really nice. But…"

"But what?" said Urd carefully.

"But. This wouldn't ever work, would it. Us."

Urd considered it, visions of purple and red eyed babies shooting through her mind. "No." she replied regretfully. "It wouldn't."

Mara heaved a deep sigh. "Didn't think so."

"But… you know I love you, right?" Urd said so quietly that Mara barely heard it, and gently brushed the hair away from her devil's face.

Mara turned and gazed at the brown goddess. "Do you?" she asked hesitantly, placing a finger on Urd's goddess mark, feeling the warmth of the tiny triangle, not daring to believe Urd's words.

"Of course, silly. You know goddesses can't lie." Replied Urd, snapping her teeth at Mara's fingers, "Now come here."

It was settled and Mara rolled back over obediently to accept the kiss the goddess laid on her lips and the goddess's arms wrapping around her tightly. And their naked bodies entwined together was exactly how Skuld found them five minutes later when she burst into Urd's room.

The young goddess's eyes widened and a tomato colored blush simultaneously rushed up her face.

"Uh-oh." Said Urd, grinning wildly.

"HENTAI!" Skuld exploded, "What the hell, y-y-you hentai demon! What did you do to her?"

Mara screeched and tried to hide behind Urd.

Urd laughed, letting the sheets fall off her breasts. "Nothing that I didn't ask her to." She announced, and Mara suppressed a yelp of disbelief.

Skuld's horrified eyes took in her sister's tooth marked body, the two women's tousled hair, the million empty sake bottles, and she screamed, trying in vain to avert her eyes from all the nakedness. "Baka!! Hentai baka!! Get the hell out!" and groped for her pouch of lucky coins that she carried around for such an occasion as this. "Get out!!" the diminutive fired-up goddess yelled, hurling lucky coins wildly.

"I'll get you for this," Mara whispered ominously, giving Urd's tender shoulder a parting nip. Urd squeaked and tried to contain her laughter, shaking with the effort.

Mara yowled as she tried to collect her scattered clothes and avoid the barrage of coins, and a coin hit her in the bare backside, the holy power knocking her into a wall.

Skuld had run out of ammo. "Banpei!!" she screamed.

"Later, goddess." The demon spat as she peeled herself away from the wall and escaped naked out the window.

Urd reclined nude, tuning out the sound of her sisters screeching and smiled to herself, fingering a sensitive love bite. "Until next time, love." She murmured.

Hope you enjoyed!! This is one of my fave pairings, and my first fic. Yay!!
