Chapter 188

"Mmm, this is nice," Valkyrie sighed, lying on her front as Nadia slowly massaged her back.

"I told you you'd like it," Nadia said, a smirk in her voice.

"Shh, you don't know anything," Valkyrie joked, her voice growing husky as sleepy pleasure took over. The room was nice and hot, she'd had a long soak in the bath with another special healing stone to help draw out any lasting aches in her muscles and joints from her stint as a prisoner, and Nadia had lit a candle. It was a little strange at first because they were staying at Solomon's old house he still hadn't sold, in his guest bedroom that had a fine layer of dust all around, but how could she not be relaxed and happy when her fiancée was stroking her back?

"I think you should admit I'm right," Nadia said, pausing to lean down and kiss along her left shoulder blade. "I could have helped you before."

"Before what?"

"Just before. When you were tense or stressed. I think this would have made you feel better."

Valkyrie just hummed.

"Is your back feeling more relaxed now?" She asked, kneading into the harder, tense muscles in the hollow of her back.

"Yeah, a lot," she said quietly.

"Good."

Valkyrie's mouth opened slightly as she focused on the feel of Nadia's fingers kneading and stroking along her body from her neck all the way to the base of her spine. Gradually, Nadia's soft fingers began to trace further down, dipping between her legs and barely tickling the inside of her thigh. Valkyrie felt herself get wet and moaned, repositioning herself so her legs were more open. Nadia kissed her lower back and flicked a finger over her clit, getting a happy sigh from Valkyrie, and began to slowly rub her finger over the sensitive area.

"Would you mind doing something new?" Nadia asked in almost a whisper. Valkyrie hummed questioningly. "Do you remember Tanith's Christmas present?"

Valkyrie didn't react immediately, because it took a moment for her to actually remember the gift, but then her eyes shot open and she half turned over, toppling Nadia onto the bed. "What?"

Nadia giggled and pushed Valkyrie on her back. "Yeah, it could be fun. Would you at least try it? We can stop as soon as you want to."

"I'm not sure. What if it hurts?" Valkyrie asked cautiously, laying back on the covers.

"It's not going to hurt, and if it does we'll stop. I've been reading up on the whole process from the book Tanith got us, and I ordered some stuff online. I know what to do, I swear. It really isn't as crazy as you think," Nadia insisted.

Valkyrie paused. "Wait, are we thinking you're going to use it… on me?"

"Well, yeah," Nadia smirked. "What better way to get comfortable with it than to experience it being used first-hand? But I promise, I know what I'm doing and if you don't like it, I'll stop!"

Valkyrie stared at her and Nadia, naked and sitting on top of her, stared back happily. "Not a chance. No way."

"What? Why? I can top you if I want to!" She cried, pretending to be offended. "And you promised me you'd let me go down on you more, this is almost the same thing!"

"It is not the same thing! And you can't even feel the thing, how will you know if you're hurting me?"

"You'll have to tell me if it hurts, obviously, just like when we're having sex without a toy. I'll be really gentle! I'm not trying to stick it in your ass!"

"I'd hope not!" Valkyrie said, sitting up quickly, making Nadia topple over again. "No way am I letting you shove that plastic shit inside me when you don't even know if it's going to hurt."

"It won't hurt, why do you think it's going to hurt?" Nadia asked, exasperated. "People use strap-on's all the time, it's not a painful thing. You're going to enjoy it. And I bought lube too, like the book said to. And anyway, I know it won't hurt because I already used it on myself."

"How?"

"I just stuck it in, it's not rocket science," Nadia shrugged. "It's not as big as I think you're imagining. It's practically a training dildo."

"Is that a real thing?"

"I don't know. But it's only, like, five inches long and not that wide. I swear, it didn't hurt me and it won't hurt you. Please will you be open to the idea?" Nadia begged. Valkyrie hesitated. "Would you feel better if you used it on me first?"

"No," she sighed, feeling like she was going to regret her choice. "It would be weirder for me to use it."

"That was my thinking. I promise, if it makes you too uncomfortable or you don't like it, or if it hurts even a little bit, I will stop immediately and won't bring up the idea again until you want to try again, if you ever want to. Is that fair?"

Valkyrie nodded. "Alright. Fine. I'll give it a go."

Nadia literally squealed and hopped off the bed and over to their suitcase where she pulled out a toiletry bag, only to open it and spill the content onto the bed – two different bottles of lube, the sunflower yellow strap-on, and something small and pink.

"It's not as big as I thought," she admitted.

"See!" Nadia said triumphantly. "I told you it's not that bad. And it's a really nice shade of yellow."

Valkyrie snorted a laugh. "Yeah, I'm sure Tanith was really taking into consideration the colour palette when she picked it out."

Nadia grinned. "I would hope so." She picked it up by wrapping her hand around the base of the dildo. "Touch it."

"I'd rather not."

"I double doughnut dare you," Nadia laughed.

Valkyrie fake-glared. "If I do this, will you buy me doughnuts?"

"I'll order you a dozen and they'll be here in half an hour."

Valkyrie nodded and decided to just bite the bullet and took the thing from Nadia to look at it. It didn't have any gross veins or particularly penis-like shapes moulded into it, and that actually made it a whole lot nicer to look at. Instead of a disgusting, way too big penis substitute, it was honestly just a yellow piece of plastic, slightly curved but nothing major, with a rounded tip. It had a similar thickness from the base to tip, except where the tip rounded to an end of course. It wasn't totally hard either, which Valkyrie had been a little scared of, but rather very slightly squishy, but not exactly flexible.

"I'm a bit scared you'll miss," she decided to say, putting her hands down and looking at Nadia. "Like, what if you're doing the whole thrusting thing and you go too far back and it comes out and you don't notice and it hits me? It'll really hurt. And if it hurts me and then because you're still thrusting it goes back in after smacking into me like that, I'm probably going to be really upset. I know it sounds dumb, but it scares me."

"I'm not going to do that," Nadia said immediately. "I wouldn't try and do anything that hard or ever try to just smash it back in. That would really, really hurt. I'm going to go slowly and be gentle and we'll just see how it goes. Maybe you'll want me to do things like that, or maybe the whole thing will be too much and I'll never do it again. I'm only asking you to give it a chance."

Valkyrie nodded. "Okay. I'm okay with it."

Nadia grinned and shuffled over, cupping Valkyrie's face in her hands. "Thank you." She kissed her deeply.

Her nerves made it hard to get back into the mood, but gradually, Nadia coaxed her onto her back and relaxed her, sucking on her neck, running her fingers up and down her waist to make her skin dance, playing with her nipples. Nadia settled between her legs and licked her, slowly building up in speed, making her groan loudly. She had begun to feel those now-familiar tingles and the tightness in her abdomen when Nadia disappeared.

"Wait, I'm almost there," she immediately moaned, moving to rub her own clit.

Nadia batted her hand away and pulled on the strap-on quickly. Valkyrie noticed the straps were already fitted to Nadia's size. "Give me a moment."

Valkyrie couldn't help but blush when she saw Nadia in the thing. It was extremely weird, a bit embarrassing, a little bit uncomfortable – but at the same time, Nadia smirked and looked down on her in a way she hadn't before, and it was hot. She looked so confident and ready to do whatever she wanted, and even through her apprehension, Valkyrie couldn't stop the little shots of excitement that made her shiver.

"Open your legs again," Nadia commanded and pushed them open. Of course Valkyrie let her – her thighs were more than strong enough to stop Nadia if she wanted to – but far be it from Valkyrie to stop a woman on a mission. Nadia bent over, ass in the air, and looked Valkyrie in the eye as she brushed the tip of her tongue over the part of Valkyrie's clit that always took her straight to the edge of climaxing.

Gasping, Valkyrie threw her head back and felt her leg shake happily. She was so fucking close. Clenching the bedspread in her hands tightly, she welcomed Nadia's thumb rubbing roughly over the area, pushing her hips up towards the feeling. She expected the feeling of the cold plastic at her entrance and it made her pull back, but neither she nor Nadia stopped. Very, very slowly, still rubbing Valkyrie's clit how she liked it, Nadia shuffled forward and pressed the tip of the dildo into Valkyrie's pussy.

At first, she wasn't quite sure if she liked it or not, and then Nadia started thrusting back and forth and powerful waves of pleasure rolled over Valkyrie. She moaned and lifted her hips, putting an arm over her face to hide how red she was getting. Nadia leaned over her and pushed her arms aside, though she didn't make Valkyrie open her eyes, and pushed in further. The pre-lubed dildo filled her and Nadia's gentle rhythm felt so, so good. And when she leaned on her hands, resting below Valkyrie's armpits from their height difference, she began to go faster and harder.

"Yesss," Valkyrie hissed, pushing her hips up to meet Nadia's unconsciously. "Fuck, Nadia. Don't stop. Don't you fucking dare."

Nadia laughed quietly and upped the pace. Valkyrie fisted the sheets and repeated Nadia's name, meeting Nadia thrust for thrust, and quickly felt that tight, hot feeling spread in her abdomen.

"Ohh, I'm so close baby," she panted, clenching her eyes shut. "I'm close, don't stop."

Only a few thrusts later and the feeling began to feel frustratingly close but not quite there, and she put a hand awkwardly between them to rub her clit. Only a moment later, the feeling released. Valkyrie groaned and her whole body spasmed, heat immediately spreading from her pussy down to her feet and up her chest as wave after wave of pleasure washed over her. Nadia didn't let Valkyrie cumming stop her from thrusting, although she was panting, and they both felt as her slick cum began to drip out of Valkyrie's pussy and spread over both their legs and the bed.

"Oh my God," she said, opening her eyes finally and gripping Nadia's arms. She stopped with a small, exhausted laugh. "That felt so fucking good."

"I told you," Nadia grinned, pulling out and crawling up to kiss Valkyrie firmly, dragging her cum up her stomach. "Am I going to get to do that again then?"

"Fucking hell, yes," Valkyrie smiled before letting out a breathy laugh. "I really, honestly thought I would hate that."

"I knew you wouldn't. See, you should trust me more."

"I trust you plenty," Valkyrie said, opening her eyes to look at Nadia's flushed face. "That doesn't mean I want plastic shoved inside my most private place."

Nadia shook her head. "Not the most private. The booty-hole is the most private."

Valkyrie snorted a laugh. "Booty-hole? What's what we're calling it from now on. Only booty-hole."

Nadia grinned into Valkyrie's shoulder. "Hey baby?"

"Yes?"

"Are you doing to eat me out now?"

Valkyrie began laughing again and reached down to undo the strap-on on Nadia's hips when the doorbell downstairs rang.

Valkyrie was all for ignoring it but Nadia forced her to get up. It was kind of gross putting on underwear before she had cleaned the mess between her legs, but she got down and dress in time to answer the door to a Jehovah's Witness, and promptly shut the door in their face.

"You know," she said as she hopped back up the stairs and back to Nadia. "I love this country, but if I could change anything, I wish I could make cold calling illegal. Do you think I should run for President of Ireland?"

"You'd be the prettiest President ever elected," Nadia smiled as she brushed past Valkyrie to the bathroom. "But I don't think I can allow it. I need you with me too much."

"Hmm, yes, I suppose Presidential duties would put a stop to all of our sexy times."

"Sexy time?" Nadia laughed, turning on the shower. "You're weird."

"Says you, Miss Booty-hole. Give me a kiss."

"No."

"I wasn't asking, bitch," Valkyrie grinned, grabbing Nadia around the waist and pushing them both into the warm shower. "Now look what you've done. My clothes are wet!"

"Val, take them off, oh my god!" Nadia shouted, pushing her out the shower. Valkyrie stripped off quickly and re-joined Nadia as she was getting ready to lather up her hair.

"I wonder," Valkyrie smirked, "how well you can concentrate on cleaning when I do this?"

Nadia raised an eyebrow and then gasped when Valkyrie pushed her against the cold tiles. "No! It's cold!"

"Stay," she grinned, angling the showerhead to hit Nadia's side but not so much that when she got on her knees and pushed Nadia's thighs apart her face would be waterboarded. She carefully ran her tongue from the back of Nadia's pussy and up to her clit, shuffling her body to get in the right position. Nadia shuffled slightly also, spreading her legs wide enough for Valkyrie's face. She had goosebumps from the cold tiles. "You are so pretty, Nadia."

"Mm, shut up and lick my clit, bitch," Nadia managed to say before attempting to get back to her hair. Valkyrie waited until she thought she was in control before slipping a hand between their bodies and quickly pushing two fingers in and sucking on her clit at once. Nadia's body went still as she cried out happily.

Needless to say, she did not manage to clean herself effectively so long as Valkyrie was on her knees.

.*****.

"I think I know what I want to buy," Nadia told her as they walked into the carpet, tile and hardwood flooring outlet. "I just need to get all my samples in the same place so we can compare and make sure it all matches. Like, I'm not going with that trend at the moment where all the rooms in the house need to have the same colour theme, but I do want the same wooden flooring everywhere so I need to make sure it goes with all the different wall tiles and stuff. I'm not conceived I'll like the cleaned-up hardwoods with new flooring mixed together considering that. But I don't just want to get rid of perfectly find flooring just because I want it to match better."

"I know baby."

"And I need to make sure the tiles match the paint I pick for the bathrooms, and that the paint also matches the floors. And speaking of bathrooms, we still need to decide if we want wooden flooring in them or tiles. Well, no, full bathrooms with definitely have tiles, I mean half-bathrooms. Just toilets and sinks. What do you prefer?"

"Well, downstairs is meant to be super fancy like a show house, right? And they'd have seamless flooring and no full baths downstairs, so it makes sense to have the same wooden flooring. But I worry it'll get too same-y over the entire house."

"I agree," Nadia nodded as they approached the wood sample area. Nadia started picking pieces out without needing any help from Valkyrie. "Although, I am thinking we can have designs in the wood. Like, I'm thinking the skirting will be white, and so will the trim. That's very modern and will brighten up the house significantly. So with the floors, I was thinking it'll mostly all be in one direction, except perhaps the formal dining room which can have a diamond pattern made from the floorboards, and I was thinking perhaps some rooms could have a diagonal pattern with a border surrounding it. I was thinking the snug could have that just for fun. Or the game room."

"Sounds good to me."

"At first I actually thought the cinema room could have it but then I remembered we're having carpet in there. So, onto carpet, we need to do some very serious thinking. I was assuming you liked the same concept of the same colour carpet throughout the house, which is fun and basic enough, but what colour are we going for? Like, I don't want to be stressing over every singular spill, and we have a baby in the house and we know we want kids someday in the future, even though it's a long way off, so white is not a good idea. I don't want a colour because it'll clash with everything else, and definitely not floral. But I kind of feel like a beige will just look basic and cheap. Bear in mind there won't be that much carpet in the house, just a handful of rooms."

"Uh hu."

"But then again, some of those on the wall over there don't look bad. And I bet if we get one of the ultra-long-lasting, fluffy, deep cushioning types, it'll be good no matter what. Like, the quality will shine through even though it's just a basic colour in everyone's houses. There are grey colours but I think that's a trend. I don't mind it in woods because that's the natural colour of the tree so it's fancy and more timeless, but in carpet I think it's a bad choice. Oh, that's a good point actually." Nadia stopped to think, pointing absently at the grey carpet samples on the wall. "A nice beige colour could actually be a good idea. It's light, and if we get a good quality one it'll feel good. And it's a timeless colour. No one will ever think it's gross."

"True."

"Mm, yeah," Nadia nodded, moving towards more samples and picking them out seemingly at random. She seemed to have some method, but Valkyrie wasn't sure what it was. Almost everything seemed to be the same colour, quality, thickness, shade, texture, price... strange. "Honestly, I think you'll love picking out tiles, Val. I know the hardwood and the carpet is kind of boring to sort through because it's very same-y, and it'll be like that on purpose in the house so everything else stands out, but the tiles will be so much fun. I want to have a theme in every bathroom. I want a jungle theme, butterflies, the ocean, native plants, you know, all sorts of fun things. I've been mostly thinking about the jungle theme one, and I think some gorgeous burnt orange tiles on the floor, white tiles up half the wall and then a dark, dark green above and on the ceiling, and then we'll have hanging plants and pots everywhere. It'll be so cool."

"If we have them themed, it would be fun for that to be downstairs too."

"You might be right. God, I can't decide."

Nadia continued to talk and tell Valkyrie all about the plans and Valkyrie followed along like a good girl and paid for all the samples, which was not that many as Nadia culled two-thirds of them once she had collected them all. After that, it was off to a nice dinner.

"This place is cute," Nadia smiled, looking around the attic dining area of the fancy cafe they were at. "Is their dinner menu opened?"

"No, we might have to have dessert first," Valkyrie said. "Want cake?"

"Yeah, they looked so good at the front," Nadia smiled.

"Okay then. You know, it's nice to see you like this. You've been so quiet this last year since we re-found each other. I was worried for you, but your personality's coming out more and more," Valkyrie admitted, putting her hand over Nadia's on the table.

Nadia smiled shily and dipped her head. "It's just been a good day. I like being like this, I just get anxious sometimes. I don't want to mess things up."

"I don't mind if you mess up," Valkyrie smiled. "It would be nice to not be the only one."

Nadia laughed a little darkly. "Well, considering I have done the most damage to our relationship historically, I don't think you have much to worry about. Unless you have something to admit to me?"

Valkyrie shook her head. "Nothing comes to mind."

"Oh good," Nadia smirked. The waitress came over and took their order of fizzy drinks and cake and left them again after saying the dinner menus would be out in just under an hour. "You know what will be fun, after all this? Going on dates again. We can go out every week if we want. And we can have movie nights in with a takeaway and fancy, expensive ice cream. And when one of us is staying late at work to catch up on reports or whatever we do there, the other can come in with a hot drink and a hot meal they made at home. It'll be good."

"I like that idea," Valkyrie whispered. "If we both work at the Sanctuary, I'll make sure to bring you nice coffee and hot chocolate when I come in. The stuff they have there is gross."

"I expect I'll be in business," Nadia told her. "Well, first it'll be a whole lot of studying. China is working me hard already and she's only giving me boring tasks she can't be bothered with. Simple drawings, a ton of reading. I'll be ready when the, you know, happens." Referring to her Surge. Being in mortal company, they couldn't say it out loud. "I don't mind it, but it is a lot of work."

"Well, yeah, you're tutoring under the very best. I wouldn't expect any less. You'll be good and ready when it happens though. It'll be a really useful skill."

"I hope so. Not so much for business, but that's okay."

"Will you run my family business, or work for your dad, or someone else in your family? Or start your own?" Valkyrie questioned as the waitress dropped off their drinks and cake.

"I think I'll focus on working for you first," Nadia said. "Gordon was teaching me a ton before we went to America and all that drama started, so I'm more prepared for his side of things than anywhere else. Plus I'm familiar with all your investments and policies Gordon set up. It shouldn't be too hard for me to start up in, especially since I wouldn't be working up from that low down."

"No, you'll be going in at the top position."

Nadia frowned. "No, I won't."

"Yes, you will. Gordon has multi-million investments when you add them all up. I don't want to trust that to just anyone. Sure, you'll have advisors and help, but you're going to be in charge. I wouldn't want to trust anyone else."

"Valkyrie, you can't just put me in control because you love me, I have no experience. What if I change my mind and want a career change suddenly? What if I mess up and you lose all your money? Don't be ridiculous."

"I'm not. I've thought about it for years. I'm not going to drop you in the deep end without training, but you're the best for the job. Don't forget, you have to manage some delicate things, and I don't want just any old person knowing some out my families business secrets. I trust you. And you can't do much worse than the current man in charge, a third of the businesses and investments are just making even and a handful are losing money every year. That's not useful and he's not really doing his job right. And I know you'll want to finish at least your apprenticeship with China first, maybe do even more work after, perhaps even go into business training, so this is still years away and you can work your way in slowly. It won't be sudden. I promise. And if you really don't want to do it, I won't force you."

Nadia just shook her head. "And my family was worried you'd put me in a bad position going into the workforce."

"They thought some really weird things about me," Valkyrie admitted.

"They just wanted to make sure you weren't all the things my parents were telling them," Nadia defended, taking a bite of her lemon cake. "I know they went kind of far with questioning you, but they only did it out of love for me. They were worried you were going to get me killed."

"I'm not faulting them, but asking how I'd provide for you is a little weird."

"It was a bit far, I guess, but then we did get engaged not that long after so we don't have much to stand on."

"Fair."

"And I hope you know, when you're friends with my family after this stuff and we tell them we're engaged, they're going to do that all over again but they'll actually mean it."

"What happens if they decide I'm not worthy of you?"

She shook her head. "It's not like that. They'll just judge you and decide if they like you or not. It might mean they ask for us to stay in India while they get to know you better, but they won't stop it from happening if I actually want to marry you."

"But they can make our lives harder to try and persuade you not to do it," Valkyrie deduced.

"Yeah, unfortunately," Nadia admitted. "It's really not that bad. I think you'll enjoy being able to prove them wrong."

"I'll make sure you have a pony to drive the point home," Valkyrie smirked.

"I would love a horse, don't even joke about that," Nadia told her.

"Let me financially recover from the house first," she laughed.

Ooh they did bad things. Evil, pre-marital things!

And then cute house things! Very nice.

Sorry for the long wait, I had a grain-mite infestation that took priority, luckily they aren't harmful but it was super gross. I was only a few paragraphs away from finishing my other chapter. Then I decided to make this twice as long, though that isn't a bad thing I suppose :)

O'Spanner: Oh, Aine will be getting in many shenanigan's, just you wait, I have something fun planned for her ;)

Random Girl49583: Glad you like it, and thank you! You're very sweet. They still haven't gotten back to me yet about the date, but considering the entirety of wedding season this year was cancelled, I'm not surprised. They have a lot to reorganise! Nice for me though, my partner is changing his name so I get to remain a Smith, it's very fun. Some would say that is too much information for the internet but considering how common my name is, I think I'm safe! Sorry for not replying on the last chapter, reviews utterly slipped my mind, but thank you for the reviews, I really appreciate it!

Valkyrie Harmony: Nawwww, you're so sweet. Thank you. Considering this is the largest SP fanfiction I am aware has ever been written (correct me if I'm wrong on that), I'm glad people actually like my writing! Otherwise, I'd be writing lesbian (well, a lesbian and a bi girl) porn fanfiction based on a kids book for no reason. That would be sad.
