Okay, here's the next chapter, chapter 14, of the women Aether loves. Not really a lot to say here, so I hope you enjoy it.
I felt that stillness surrounding me, an Abyss, and I knew I was in the place I was. Paimon's realm.
"What?" I was confused as I spoke aloud, and for some reason, I noticed that I could speak. "Paimon? Where are you?"
I then felt two long, slender arms descend onto my shoulders, and wrap around me. In front of me was… grown up Paimon.
"You did a good thing. You're not a bad person, Aether."
"Huh? Where's this coming from?" I was confused, but she didn't let up.
"I'm too late to comfort you. But this is for Amber."
She stepped away to see my face, but her hands were still on my shoulders, as she crouched down to meet my eyes.
"I know… how much you saw Mona's rape to be like hers. You pushed down your feelings of guilt that you couldn't prevent her from being ruined, but they still exist inside your heart."
Her right arm motioned toward my cheek, and while I didn't notice it before, I noticed how saddened Paimon was. She held my cheek, softly, like I'd disappear if she gripped me any harder. I touched her hand as well, feeling the warmth in it.
"Hey, it's alright, I'm alright…" I lied, trying to stave her off from me.
She ignored me, as she looked down at me. "I didn't do much there, and… I'm sorry. I failed as your companion. I was so excited with you being so powerful and strong that I forgot that you had been carrying so much." She went back to embracing me,
"Hey, Paimon, it's okay…" I said, trying to keep myself strong, to not break down.
"It was hard for you… Wasn't it?" She simply said.
"No…" I started tearing up, as Paimon's grip increased on me, and I reciprocated that hug for her.
"I love Mona, Amber, Jean, Lisa, Eula, Noelle, Barbara… I hate for them to keep suffering. Especially Mona and Amber."
I cried more and more. "Amber… She saw herself as meaningless without the command of the hillichurls, and useless if not for her body. How much of that was her hypnosis?! How much of that was her being honest, and finally being freed to say what she felt about herself?!"
"That's been weighing on you for that long, hasn't it…"
I sniffled, as I nodded against her, and I buried myself into her shoulder.
"Then Eula… her drinking every day, being taken as a Lawerence, and bullied, despite all the damn things she did for this city… It hurt me! She works so hard, but all she got was thankless people!"
"She got appreciation when she took down those many ruin guards, though." Paimon looked over at me, as she patted my back.
"I don't know what they'll say to her behind my back… what they'll do to her…"
I just kept on crying, and for some reason, Paimon stayed silent throughout it, while she hugged me.
"I just… I don't want my loved ones to keep getting hurt. I already lost my sister… I've got no damn idea where she is, even after years in Teyvat. I don't… I don't want to lose someone else."
Paimon stepped back, and looked at me head on.
"They're here for you." She looked at me, head on, and I could even notice some tears in her eyes, something that took me aback.
"I'm here for you. I'm your companion."
Then, she leaned in, and kissed me on the forehead.
"I'm going to still be here for you. And so will everyone else."
I looked up to her, and saw her having a mild blush on her face.
"What, you don't think, after years of being with you here, that I'm not going to have any feelings for you?" I saw her stand tall, far over my height.
"You… feel like that for me?" I cleared my own eyes.
"Hmm. Yeah, I do."
I was frozen. I didn't know what to say after that swift confession she had made.
"Don't worry, you don't have to love me back. I'll be fine with being your faithful companion."
I felt a slight tinge, from her kiss on my forehead.
"You liked that?" She looked down at me, smugly, which made me look away, embarrassed.
"Yeah, I did." I chuckled sadly. "I… didn't even think like that, that you had loved me like that."
"Well, even if you do joke about me being made into emergency food-" I saw her eyes narrow darkly down at me. "-I love how you continue to fight for those you care about. I see the eyes you have, when fighting all those hillichurls. That rapist. That anger, for taking what you care about, and being willing to defend that. It took me till then to realize how much I truly loved you…" I saw her hand held against her head. "But… I didn't want to disturb you. So, I left you alone, and… I kept being angry. For some reason, I thought you were only chasing after getting girls who would sleep with you, and you could get pregnant."
"Oh…" I looked down, ashamed. "You must have hated me, thinking I was only going for women to knock up."
She shook her head. "Looking at Mona, seeing you tell her not to sleep with you… you cared about her. You weren't going to do something she'd regret, no matter if it meant delaying you getting more powerful, or you getting her pregnant."
She sighed.
"I'm sorry. I should have been there for you, instead of being hypnotized with how strong you got, or being angry at you for being with the people you love."
She held her hand out, and said, "This will be the last time we'll meet here. At least while you're in Mondstadt. I'll join when you need to go to Sumeru. But other than that… I'll leave you alone, with the people you love."
"Wait, Paimon!"
"Yeah?"
"... who said I didn't love you?" I held my hand out, and she saw me blush.
I heard her chuckle, as she leaned down towards me.
"If you do love me, I want you to kiss me here, next time we meet. Can you do that for me, Aether?"
I nodded, reddened by it.
"You'd think with the number of women you'd have, you'd be less embarrassed." She chuckled.
She turned the knob softly, and I felt myself descend softly, to the ground, and woke up peacefully, as the sun shone through the windows.
"Thank you… Paimon." I looked at the windows, then next to me, only to see Mona gone.
"Oh, crap! Where is she?!"
I ran out of the mess of the room, only to see… Mona. She was naked, her butt sticking out, as she was cooking, and she was humming lightly. She didn't even notice me yet, while she was cooking.
What I saw seconds later was the cleanliness of everything around me. There wasn't a spec of dust around the area, and many of the things that were lying around were moved. It was just the table itself, and the kitchen that was left.
"Hey, Aether. You woke up late…" Mona spoke softly, as she turned around.
She was entirely naked, and I got hard because of it. Mona noticed, and looked away, with a blush on her face.
"Sorry, I didn't find any clothes."
"No… it's okay. Sorry. I should have been more sensitive…" I looked down, embarrassed as hell.
"No… it's normal. You… shouldn't have to treat me that differently." She turned back around, and got a plate of food.
"I already ate, so I made something for you." She laid it out on the table, but she didn't attempt to hide her nakedness, as she put the plate on the table.
'I guess I did see her naked yesterday.'
The guilt filled my throat, almost choking me, but I coughed, to prevent it from building too much.
"Thank you, Mona." I sat down on the shorter ends of the table, and looked down at what she made.
"Der Weisheit Letzter Schluss. That's what I made you." She pulled out her own chair, and sat down in front of me. She was only a foot away, and I saw her breasts against her arms, as she observed me eating, and the top of her hands holding up her chin.
I looked down at the food almost entirely while I was eating, and I finished it rather quickly, feeling energy entering my body.
"Um… thank you Mona."
She smiled. "I'm glad you enjoyed it." She took away the plate, and I saw her walk back to clean the dish, using her power of Hydro. The dish had been cleaned off.
Then, I heard her chuckle. "It's like I'm a housewife for you." She didn't turn around, immersing herself in that idea.
She scrubbed the plate with the brush I had. "I'd give you a kiss before you'd leave, and you'd leave me here, to keep me safe, while you battled the outside world."
She looked out, stopping herself from cleaning the plate anymore.
"Would you want that?" I looked at her, the line shining down at her.
She smiled again, as she turned around. "You know what? I'd like that. If you would accept me… for someone who's not pure." Her face fell, and immediately, I stood up to hug her.
"I love you, Mona. You're mine. No one will take you away from me." I possessively hugged her, and she hugged me back with equal fervor, as she rubbed herself against me.
"Yes… I'm yours, Aether." She stepped back, and I looked into her pale, sea green eyes. I kissed her, for the first time, and saw her eyes look at peace, even if she had a blush on her face.
"Do… you want to take a bath together?" I looked at her, and her body, as she did for me.
She simply nodded, not wanting to fail with her words, and I held her hands.
"Do you want me to carry you again?"
"... yes." She meekly spoke.
I lifted her up, with a soft surprise from her, that she promptly was embarrassed by. I didn't laugh at her, but I did kiss her on the forehead.
"We're newlyweds, let's enjoy our time together." I smiled, to which Mona, playing along, also smiled back.
I walked, carrying her, and then opened the door to outside the mansion. She looked at me the entire time, as I saw through the corner of my eye, and she grabbed onto me.
"You're really strong, Aether…" I heard her murmur, as I opened the door.
Eventually, we got to the Hot Spring that had just been lying around, and she looked in awe at it.
"You have a hot spring here, Aether?!"
"Yes, this and more for you, Mona. Anything for my wife." I grinned, watching Mona get embarrassed with me calling her that.
"Thank you… husband." Her eyes darted toward the hot spring, as I walked toward it.
"I'll get some soap and stuff for you and me, is that okay for me to leave you here for a second, while I get it?"
"... dress." I heard her murmur, but I didn't catch what she said.
"What?" I looked down at her again.
"Can… you undress in front of me?" She looked up with an… indescribable expression. Was it one of comfort? Fear? Pleading? I didn't know.
"Are you okay with that?" I looked at her seriously.
I heard her swallow, before nodding.
"I… don't want everything to be defined by what happened last night."
I nodded, grimly. "Okay, Mona, I'm coming right back." I got onto my knees, and lowered her feet onto the hot spring, gently placing her inside the warm water.
"Is that okay? The water temperature?"
I noticed her moaning happily, feeling the warm water touch her skin, and hearing the water flowing inside the hot spring.
"Yeah… it's nice, Aether."
I ran off, to get the soap from the bathrooms, and some shampoo that hadn't been touched in so long.
"Man… I should probably get some new stuff for this bathroom… she's probably going to need some more stuff.' Then, I remembered, as I was picking up the few items I did have.
'A lot of her stuff is probably in her room. I should probably get it there… let me tell Mona first, actually.'
Grabbing what I had, I rushed back to the Hot Spring, and met Mona out of breath.
"Aether? What happened?" I saw her turn around towards me, her body still submerged in the water.
"I wanted to bring this, but I also wanted to ask… Do you want me to bring some of your things from your room into our home?"
At first, she looked stunned, but after a couple of seconds, she started tearing up.
"Why… are you so nice to me…" She cried, covering her eyes, as she wept in the hot spring. "You're going to take care of me… you consider me as yours, even when I've done nothing of note for you…"
I immediately dropped all my stuff, and lifted her up, out of the water, so I could hug her on solid ground. I hugged her tightly, while she leaned down into my shoulder.
"I love you, Mona. You have done something for me. You've made me food, and you've cleaned my mess of a house… I shouldn't have even had it that messy, to be honest." I swallowed, guilt again filling me.
"But… Why me? You have so many other girls, don't you?"
I pulled away to look her in the eyes. "Yeah. I love you, and I love them too. I still will fight till the ends of the earth for you, Mona."
I saw her, she looked more… unsure then I saw her. "But… why? Why do you love me?" She looked down, as she spoke, and tears fell onto the ground, with her head against my chest, and her hands on my shoulders. "Why… do you think I'm so much more than my body?"
My heart was in pain, like an invisible hand seizing it, and I lifted her face up to see mine. I needed to tell her the truth.
"Mona. I love you for your insistence to not charge anyone for a reading, and you're so damn irresponsible with money. You are so passionate about astrology, but you keep having that come at the cost of how you are as a person." I looked away from her, frustrated at myself, and maybe at her too.
"You're so prideful, you're so strong, when you talk about your astrology. You stand up like nothing can touch you, even if you are starving. You didn't actually eat, did you?"
She shook her head, and I sighed frustratedly.
"You care so damn much about me that you're willing to clean up for me, and make me a meal before even thinking of yourself. You're… selfless. And I love you for who you are, your flaws and all."
I kissed her once again, to reassure her, and she reciprocated that kiss once again.
"I love you, Mona." I said, having released her from a kiss I had.
"... thank you." She laughed, nervously. "I… don't know what I deserve to have you."
"You deserve to have me." I hugged her, embracing her, and she embraced me again, tightly.
"Thank you, Aether…" She softly spoke.
"You don't have to thank me, Mona." I spoke to her, and asked her again.
"Do you want me to get your stuff from your room, to our home?"
"After our bath." She looked at me, now with complete conviction.
"Aether. Can you undress in front of me?" She stood, slightly above me, and I stepped back to undress.
I took off my pants, my shirt, and then my underwear, revealing me being hard to Mona. She didn't seem distraught by it, although she did hold a blush.
"Come in, Aether." She waved her hands towards herself, as she backed to the end of the rocks. She widened her legs, and I saw her look resolute.
"I want you to be my second time." She looked at me with conviction, despite her blush. "Please… I want to be with you."
I stepped in, and slowly approached her, not wanting to set her off, and hurt her.
"You want this?" I stepped in, and felt the sides of her under the warm water. "You'll get pregnant."
She didn't seem surprised. "I know. I want to have your child, Aether. If you'd accept me."
I nodded, and I positioned my hands on her clit. Underwater, she faced a lot of different sensations, as it took only a bit for her to moan like crazy.
"Ah… Aether, that feels… so good." She looked at me, dizzily, as I moved around the outside of her clit, and she smiled at me.
"Don't you want to impregnate me, though?" She looked confused, but she was dizzily pleased.
"I can't just force it in. That wouldn't be nice…" I swallowed, remembering it with Amber. "I want you to be happy when I fill you up."
She smiled dizzily, again, and moaned out, as I went inside her.
Then, she let out a short scream, and I felt her cum all over my hand, hitting the spot for her.
"That… was so good, Aether." She looked at me, her arms open.
"I'm ready for you, Aether." She widened her legs again, as I positioned my dick near her.
"Ah! It's so good!" She closed her legs around me, as I pumped in and out of her pussy, and felt an electrifying sensation as I kept pumping inside her.
"I love you, Aether! I want you to marry me, with everyone else! I'll be your wife! I want you to be with me!" She shrilled, as she tightly grabbed onto me, and she looked in absolute bliss.
"Please… make me pregnant!" I pumped inside her over and over again, as she screamed.
"I love you, Mona! I'll make you pregnant!"
"AETHER!"
"MONA!" I came inside her, and it went for several seconds, cum inside her womb, till her stomach looked bloated with my seed.
'Unfortunately… I can't make her look pregnant yet.' I noticed the womb tattoo appearing on her stomach, and also it glowing. But I paid no mind to it. I wanted to have her filled by me.
"Mona… Can I cum inside your ass?"
She smiled, pervertedly, and said, "Yeah, you can!" She quickly turned around, opening her asshole for me, in wanting. She pleasured it, in front of me, seeing her asshole, and me getting hard because of it. I then tried to pleasure her ass, rubbing the water inside her, and even sticking my fingers to stretch her ass out.
"You can fit it inside me!" She yelled, and I pushed it inside her after some pleasuring on both of our fronts
"AH! I LOVE THIS!" She screamed again, and I pulled on her thighs, as I pumped in and out of her other hole.
"I LOVE THIS TOO, MONA!" I screamed, and I spanked her butt.
"THANK YOU! I'M YOURS, AETHER! PLEASE, CUM IN EVERY PART OF ME! CLAIM ME AS YOURS!"
"Every part of you will be filled by me. I love you, Mona." I quietly said, but she looked all the more happy by my statement, and as I continued to cum inside her ass.
I ended up also having her do a blow job for me, and her taking my entire length in her mouth. Then, when she looked no longer to be filled by my cum, she wanted me to fill her up, and then get her "pregnant" again. We kept having sex, raw, filling up every crevice of her body, and even covering her body with my semen. Eventually, she at least ran out of energy, and I wasn't going to push her.
She had her stomach bloated with my seed, with her drinking it up, and her ass looking red with my spanking and my cumming inside her.
"You will be the only man who will see this of me." She posed, in the hot spring, with her holding her bloated stomach out, with her womb tattoo, and her… being happy.
"Did… you like that?" I said, embarrassed slightly by the lewd pose she had.
"I loved it, Aether." She got up out of the hot spring with me, as she held my hand. I could tell that her legs were shaking, but unlike the first time, it wasn't fear. She was happy. .
"Do you want me to carry you again?" I looked at her, as she looked toward her stomach, and her womb tattoo
She looked up at me, with happy tears in her eyes.
"Yes… please carry me."
I picked her up once again, and brought her to the table inside the mansion. She sat on the chair of the table, and despite her being naked, and leaking cum from her ass and pussy, she didn't seem to mind.
"I'll bring your clothes in here, too. Is that okay?"
"Yeah. But what if I greet you naked, what then?" She started posing seductively that almost made me want to go another round with her again. But I restrained myself. I wasn't going to have her be knocked out.
"I'd love that, but I also don't want to force you…" I swallowed, looking down towards the floor.
"Aether." I looked up, and by the time I had, she looked seriously in my eyes. "I love you."
"I've decided to spend my life as your housewife. So I do want you to not hesitate with that.."
"But… what if you're not comfortable with that?"
"You'll know, Aether. I'll tell you if it comes to that." She admitted.
"... okay." I was about to stand up, remembering that Mona hadn't eaten anything. "Do you want me to make you anything?"
"Nah… your seed was satisfying enough for me." She patted her filled stomach, still leaking cum from her pussy. "I'm rather full."
I just laughed, thinking of how funny it was, the sheer scene of her rubbing her both pregnant womb and full stomach making me laugh.
"Hey!" She tried getting up, before her overexertion kicked in, and she sat there, pouting.
"Sorry, sorry." I looked at her happily, as she sat down on the seat.
"You're lucky that you're the man I love." She pouted, crossing her arms, and turning away from me.
"I'm the luckiest man alive, with you and the girls."
She stopped pouting, and went into thought, before snapping back to me.
"Can we get wedding rings?" She showed off her hand to me, imagining there being a ring on her finger.
I smirked.
"I'll get rings for all of us."
"Wouldn't have it any other way." She said, before lying back into the chair. Before it could collapse behind her, and she screamed out, I caught her.
"You okay?" I looked at her, as she looked upside down at me.
"... can you bring me to bed?" She bashfully spoke. Naturally, I brought her to bed.
"Are you alright with me leaving you here? I'll come back with our rings, and your stuff."
"I'll wait for as long as I can for you to come back." She looked up at me with a sense of peace that I didn't see from her. I gave her a kiss on the lips, before I left her alone, and closed the door behind me.
"I'll have to get her stuff first…" I teleported out of the pot, and saw… the tree. The one that expanded into the air, and the Statue of the Seven just under its branches. It wasn't anywhere where I wanted to teleport to.
"Wait, windrise? What am I doing here?"
Then, I saw something descend from the skies. An object that I had seen a few times being taken, but never in my own hands. I heard Venti playing his harp as I held the fallen object in my hands.
"A gnosis…"
And that's where I'll end it off! It'll be at least one or two more chapters, before I'll revise it and then get onto Liyue. Anyways, thank you all for reading.
