A/N: If you like stories of people having sex with monster-women, then check out my other two stories, where people have sex with monster women! ("Things are Never as They Seem", and "The (Not So) Dynamic Duo").

Miia lied down, hiding away from her Darling.

Her sweet, caring, Darling… Who wouldn't leave her alone when she wanted him to!

"Miiiiia, please… Just come out."

For the first time in a while, she was slinking back in her own bed, secretly failing to shed her skin. The Lamia was fraught with embarrassment, and internally berating herself.

Her dear, loving, lovable Darling had caught on to her emotions quickly, and was currently trying his best to calm her insecurities.

"N-no! I can't let you see me like this, D-Darling!"

Well, that was a first. Kurusu looked taken aback for quite some time, as Miia slunk further into her old mattress.

He had seen her naked, bent at impossible angles, pleasuring both him and herself… But he couldn't see her in this state?

Man, monster-girls were weird.

"Miia, please… I just want to help you, baby." He cooed to her, making her cold-blooded heart melt with love.

"Y-yeah, that's the thing! You're always helping, and I can't do anything to help you back!"

"Miia, baby, it's fin-"

"D-Darling, please… I'm just… having… trouble shedding!" Kurusu's eyes widened at this.

"I can't do anything right! I can't cook, I can't clean, I can't pleasure you, and I can't even shed properly!" She whined, clutching a pillow tight to her chest in her throes of frustration.

Her ever-patient Darling smiled to her, and slowly uncovered the Lamia woman. She shrieked when she saw his face, and tried to pull her bed sheets back up, but he stopped her with a kiss. It was slow and sensual – like the first embrace they shared as a couple, and it made her relent and calm down.

"Miiiiia~…"He sung out to her, as he broke their kiss. She blushed harshly at his words, and he beamed back to her.

"I love you, no matter what. And no matter what happens, I know you can do a lot of things! And you have to get the help of people around you sometimes, okay? There's no shame in asking for help…" He said, in a most fatherly tone that turned Miia on something fierce. Her blush deepened as she nodded, and she clung to him, enjoying his warmth.

"Th-th-thank you, D-Darling…" He smiled, and hugged his girlfriend back, stroking her back softly.

"Now… Would you like some help shedding, Miia?" Another deep blush stained the snake-woman's cheeks, and she nodded quickly, too embarrassed for words. He set himself above the woman, and tenderly peeled off her old coating of skin.

Doing so, he stroked her silky smooth scales up and down, and laid tiny kisses up and down the woman's body to alleviate she stinging pain on her tail.

"D-Darling…" He shushed her, lovingly, and winked, coming down to her tail, stroking it gently to loosen her skin, before peeling it gently. He was in an awkward position – one hand stretched far enough to keep stroking the Lamia's back, and one deftly pulling the last bits of skin off her snake-half.

"DARLING~!" She sung, arching her back, constricting Kurusu tightly as she came, slowly writhing around in pleasure. She panted, and mewled sexily as the man's hands found the small of her back again, stroking her endlessly.

"P-please… I think I've still got som-" Having been quickly unwrapped, he kissed her again and began shedding the rest of her old skin. He broke from her sweet, full lips, and continued smiling at her.

"You know, Miia… I read up that some Lamia have trouble shedding their skin if they're stressed, or…" He drifted downwards, layering small kisses over the girl's fuckably soft skin.

He removed her clothes slowly, to gain better access to the Lamia's nubile body.

"Under… Attended…" She grew confused at this, and despite how flustered she was, the Lamia attempted to counterpoint her Darling.

"B-but Darling, we've done it at least once every d-"

"Play along, Miia." He winked at her, and she nodded, sitting her head back as he delved his tongue within her depths, arching her back again. Her tail tightly coiled around the man as he continued his explorative tonguing of her pussy.

One hand continued to peel her skin as another furiously groped the snake-woman's ass. She moaned and groaned into her Darling's touch, easily removing his clothes with her skilful tail. He gasped at the cool air, and moaned into the Lamia's muff as she wrapped herself around him again.

She tightened, tightened, and tightened, but tried her hardest to remain in control of her constriction. Her Darling worked on and on, endlessly probing her sex with his warm, warm tongue.

"D-DARLING!" She screamed again, happy to have her alone time with Kurusu once more. A shivering, quivering orgasm wracked through her body, making her tighten around her lover. His hands stroked her back again, and calmed her down.

"I-I-I-I th-think… That's the l-l-last piece, D-Darling…" She admitted, with a small smile that Kurusu reciprocated. He hugged her tightly, and she wrapped all that she could around him, in thanks.

"I… If you want, I… You could… Do… Anal, Darling…" Miia offered, with a tremendously powerful flush. Kurusu's eyes widened again, and his expression turned serious.

"M-Miia… Are you sure?" She had some hang-ups about the experience when they first became a couple, and had stayed away from that act.

She nodded, meekly, and said nothing as she flipped herself on her stomach. The human man was quick to hug himself to the Lamia's body, to keep her warm. He splayed the bed sheet covers back over themselves, and nibbled on Miia's ear as he wrapped an arm around her.

"I love you, baby…" He teased her, making her gasp and blush again.

"Love you too, D-DarLING!" She squealed, as Kurusu prodded at her backdoor with his beyond-hard cock.

(…)

They spent the rest of the day together, making love in various positions, before finally settling down back in Kurusu's room for the night. He carried the snake-woman in his arms, to keep her warm, and invited the other members of his harem to join them in bed.

As she became more open with the idea of sharing a bed, Centorea learnt to share her warmth with her harem-partners, thoroughly pleasing Miia.

Boy, did that earn some "alone time" points for the Centaur.

A/N: I loved this moment in the anime, and I thought I could've done something sweet / fetishistic with the scene. Hope you guys enjoy!
