Ainz Ooal Gown was currently sitting in his office on the 9th Floor of Nazarick, stamping the daily pile of documents, and reading through all sorts of reports.
Or at least he would be, if he wasn't so distracted...
It's been a few days since he'd last seen Neia. For some reason, he kept thinking about her, which constantly distracted him from his work.
With a sigh, he shook his head to clear it, and reached for another report.
It was something about how their operations in the Dragon Kingdom are impacting their plans to take over the Beastman Country in the distant future.
He only skimmed through for a few moments before putting it down and reaching for another document.
This one was something about how the construction of new settlements was going. It seemed the Abelion Hills and the former Re-Estize territories were both doing quite well under Albedo. In particular, the Abelion Hills now had proper roads connecting much of the land, which will be a boon for trading and the general movement of resources. Though some of the tribes there were still not integrated at all, this was a good step in bringing agriculture and city life to the area.
But then, he felt boredom overtake him already, and his thoughts returned to Neia once again.
She was currently busy with having CZ as a guest and introducing the maid to her parents, so he couldn't really just come unannounced wanting a date...
Just as he was thinking that, he heard someone knock.
"My love?"
It was Albedo.
"Come in."
The succubus walked over proudly, and somewhat seductively.
"My beloved? I thought you would be done with work by now. Is there trouble?"
"Ah, not at all. Just many things to think about... Yes, many things to consider in my plans..."
"Of course. None could match your boundless intellect, after all. Can I be of any help, darling?"
Although Ainz was always uncomfortable with Albedo's displays of affection, he felt particularly unhappy with what she just said, though he didn't know why.
"Uhm, I don't think so... I will just take a bit more time."
"Of course... I came here because I thought we could spend some time together... Perhaps we could share a bath after you're done?"
He sighed internally.
"Well... I was thinking maybe we could take a walk?"
"... All right. I would be glad to."
Albedo answered with a smile, though he sensed she was disappointed.
"Shall I wait for you outside your office then, darling?"
Hearing it again, Ainz realised what the problem was.
'Darling' was what Neia always called him...
And he didn't want anyone else to do so.
"... Albedo? I don't think you should address me that way."
"W-what? You mean I shouldn't call you 'darling'?"
"Yes. I feel something like 'my husband' or 'my beloved' is more romantic, and better fitting of your status as my wife."
"Ah, I see! Very well, my dear husband!"
... ... ...
"... Hello. I'm Shizu."
"Greetings. I am Pabel. A pleasure to meet you."
"I am Sofia... nice to meet you..."
Honestly, he could not really tell what the demon was thinking at all.
She seemed completely indifferent to everything, even as she hugged his daughter just moments ago.
Was there something wrong, or is this how she always was?
Well, whatever the case may be, this was Neia's best friend, and so he kept an open mind.
Surely she was a nice... uhh... girl... underneath that exterior, right? Also, how did gender work for demons?
"..."
Though her silence was really getting strange...
... ... ...
Ainz sat in his office in Nazarick, as he often did.
And as he was waiting for a certain someone, his thoughts kept wandering.
To Neia.
Now that CZ had left, he was finally able to arrange a date for tonight, which made him quite excited.
But why?
That strange emotion he'd recently started feeling when he was with her... when he watched her smile and laugh... when he looked into her eyes...
What was it?
Ainz was not really someone who did a lot of introspection, so this was a little hard to figure out.
A knock interrupted his thoughts.
"... Lord Ainz?"
"Come in, CZ."
The person he was expecting has finally arrived. She walked over quietly, and bowed when she reached his table.
"Please raise your head. Now, how did it go?"
"... It was okay. I mostly wanted to spend time with Neia, but her parents were always there..."
"I hope you didn't mind? She cares about them a lot, as I'm sure you know."
"... No, it was fine."
"Good. Was there anything else?"
"... Her father wanted to see me use a spell gun... I showed him. He was impressed, I think... That's all..."
He nodded.
"Thank you. You may go."
And as she did, his thoughts returned to Neia, once again, as if it was simply his default state of mind.
... ... ...
When it was finally time, Ainz teleported into Neia's bedroom.
"Darling!"
She stepped over to hug him.
Now that he saw her smile, heard her voice, and felt her touch, he felt... good.
"Hello, Neia... I've missed you."
"Ah, m-me too!"
"But let's get seated now, hm? You can be in my lap."
"Yes!"
They both sat down in silence.
"... How has Shizu's visit been? She didn't tell me that much."
"Oh, it was... well, she was even less talkative than usual. I suppose she doesn't really want to be friends with my parents much..."
He nodded.
"That makes sense..."
"And what about you, darling?"
"Nothing interesting. Just work and... well... I was... uhm, thinking about you..."
She chuckled with a blush.
"Ah, forget I said that..."
"N-no, it's just cute!"
"Me? Cute? Really now?... Hopefully not in an embarrassing way..."
"Oh, not at all! I think it's great. I think about you all the time!"
He did not really have anything to say to that, and so he just continued looking into her eyes while she did the same.
She really was adorable like this.
He just wanted to...
In one movement, he gently grabbed her chin and put his face closer.
And then, he kissed her.
Well, he pressed his teeth against Neia's lips, but still, that's what passed for a kiss among them.
When the brief surprise wore off for her, she kissed him back properly.
They remained like that for some time before he pulled away.
It seemed this made her blush intensely, and she looked even happier than she did a moment ago.
"... darling?"
"Yes?"
"That's... that's the first time you've kissed me on your own initiative..."
"Is it? I suppose it is... well, it felt good."
"Ah, I'm just so happy... so happy..."
As Ainz was once again contemplating what all these new feelings were, he saw that Neia started shifting around strangely.
"Neia? Is something wrong?"
"S-sorry... it seems that made me a bit... excited... I'm sorry for being impatient…"
With this suggestion, his thoughts turned to... well, to sex.
He'd originally wanted to tell her that such things couldn't happen between them because he was undead, but…
He looked into Neia's eyes. They were apologetic, but also eager. They yearned for him.
He wanted to at least try… if he really couldn't do it, well… in the worst case scenario, it would just end in an awkward disappointment.
But if it didn't…
His mind returned to the present, and he put one of his hands on Neia's right hip.
She was clearly surprised that instead of commenting about her apology, he would do something like this.
The surprise only deepened as he slid his hand down to her butt.
Still, she remained completely silent, only watching him with unblinking, craving eyes.
He squeezed her butt, forcing a quiet moan out of her.
It was then that he knew for certain.
He wanted this.
"... Neia? Let's get you out of these clothes."
"O-okay, darling... Do you want to do it yourself?"
"... take the dress off. I'll do the rest."
She got up slowly and quietly, and he now found himself looking at her curves for the first time. They were beautiful.
She then started removing her dress as instructed. It was a rather slow process, but he watched patiently... and eagerly.
When she was done, she let it fall to the ground, revealing another sort of under-dress, thin and loose-fitting. It also revealed much of her shoulders.
He got up and stepped closer, now seeing that she was slightly shaking with anticipation.
He undid a knot on the under-dress' chest, and after Neia raised her arms, he took it off in one smooth motion, tossing it aside.
And now, she only had her underwear to cover her.
Her breathing was quick and shallow, and her cheeks were scarlet.
He then moved to undo her bra.
When he finished and let it fall to the ground, he could see her bare breasts. They were quite small, at least compared to most women in Nazarick.
They were gorgeous.
He reached for one of them, and when he did, she moaned. And she continued to do so as he gently squeezed and rubbed it.
"... maybe I should take something off, as well?"
"Uhm... i-if you want to... I would love that..."
With a nod, he started removing his robe, earning him several lustful looks. Especially towards his pelvis, which was only partially covered by his pants.
"Is this better?"
"Y-yes..."
After making sure it was safely in his inventory, he continued by kneeling down.
He undid another knot, and slowly started pulling down the soaked panties. He froze a little bit when his eyes saw what was underneath.
When they, too, fell to the ground, Neia stood in front of him completely naked.
He put one hand on her tummy, and slowly let it slide down.
But he stopped himself before it reached its destination.
"... Neia?"
"Y-yes, darling?"
"I... I've never done this before... I fear you will have to guide me through."
"I-I've also never done it, o-of course... but I'll show you what I like... L-let's go to the bed..."
After leading him to it, she sat down and spread her legs wide open, while looking up at him expectantly...
"Uhm... so, touching all over first is important, I think... uhm, I think you undressing me was enough, so... can you touch my breasts again?"
He knelt down again, and did as she asked.
"So... I think rubbing and squeezing at the same time feels good..."
He did as she asked, making sure to be very gentle.
"Uhm, maybe a bit harder with the rubbing... more sort of... all over at once."
He did his best to act according to how she described it, which forced a few moans out of her.
"J-just like that, darling... uhm, y-you can stop if you want..."
He continued for a few more moments, just making sure he remembered the exact movements. He'd have all the time in the world to practise on her later, but getting all the lessons from their first time was probably important.
"N-next, maybe more touching would be nice? Not required, but uhm, perhaps you could sort of work your way down to my crotch..."
He had one of his hands start on her knee, and one on her upper abdomen. Both slowly moved to their destination, covering a lot of ground with movements back and forth, while he tried his best to not make them too repetitive.
"Yes... just like that... you're making me feel really tingly down there... I... I uhm, think it's time..."
"Time to touch you down here..."
"Y-yes... so, uhm... this area here is really important."
Ainz recalled some of his limited anatomy knowledge as she pointed to a specific spot.
"The clitoris. Of course."
"So... rubbing it is really good... it's probably the best part..."
He reached out to touch the area, and started gently running his fingers back and forth in a repetitive motion.
She moaned quietly again.
"Y-you can go a little harder..."
"... Like this?"
She moaned louder.
"Yes, like that... and the faster, the better..."
"Hm. And what about... going inside? If I use my fingers to do both that and rub this area, that won't leave my hands free for your breasts or anything else... A prosthetic would be ideal then, right?"
"Right... uhm, I have some toys like that... I could show you which size I like."
"That would be ideal, yes..."
"Uhm, in that drawer..."
He got up and went over to where she was pointing. And after opening a drawer at the bottom of a closet, he saw several of these toys.
"An uhm... m-medium to large size is my... preference."
He grabbed what seemed like an above average one considering the rest.
"Like this?"
"Y-yes..."
"[Create Greater Item]"
He made a strap on.
After putting it on, he moved back towards the bed.
Now standing over Neia, he stroked her cheek for a short moment.
"I suppose you should lay down now."
She did so silently, and covered her mouth with one of her hands.
He put one of his hands on her breast, and a few fingers on her clit.
Looking into her loving eyes, he inserted his prosthetic.
This forced a moan out of her, and she grabbed the blanket with her free hand.
He started thrusting, while doing his best to use his hands as well as he could, repeating the movements he just learned.
After doing so for a few moments, Neia started moaning in pleasure.
Further motivated by the beautiful noises she made, he did his best to go faster.
This of course only made her moan louder.
"... Everything alright? Am I doing it properly?"
"Y-yes darling! Please don't stop!"
Her blissful voice felt like the most pleasant sound there could ever be.
And so, he sped up.
Thrust after thrust, her cute moans and euphoric fidgeting only made him enjoy this more.
He kept going for quite some time, until she moaned louder than ever before, and squirmed for just a moment.
He stopped, just to be sure.
"... Neia? Was that an orgasm?"
"... it was..."
"How many times a night can that happen?"
"Uhm... a few?... I usually stop after th-three or four, b-but maybe with you... I suppose maybe it could be a lot higher..."
"I see... Let's get to it, then."
As he suddenly started thrusting vigorously again, Neia's surprise combined with pleasure, forcing another cute noise out of her.
... …
"..."
"... Neia? Neia..."
She did not react to his whispers, meaning she was finally asleep.
He did his best to quietly and slowly untangle himself from her embrace.
He somehow even managed it without waking her up. It seemed she was sleeping quite soundly.
After putting his robe back on, he looked around to see that he made a bit of a mess earlier, throwing her clothes all about...
And so, he moved to collect everything and at least put it out of the way. He could take it to Nazarick to wash, but then he would answer some very troublesome questions.
Now that the room looked mostly as it should, he made his way back over to Neia.
He made sure the blanket covered her completely up to the neck, and then stroked her cheek for a moment.
"... sweet dreams... my love."
... ... ...
It was the morning after his and Neia's first time.
He was currently sitting in his office in E-Rantel, looking out the window.
He felt he couldn't deny it anymore.
He loved her.
And so, it only made sense that he'd be thinking about her often.
Would she be waking up soon?
Hopefully she was feeling alright... hopefully she would enjoy her breakfast...
Hopefully it wouldn't be weird if he asked for yet another date today...
He then heard knocking, making him look to the door.
"My love?"
It was Albedo.
He sighed.
Having to feign love after truly feeling it for the first time in his life was quite a task, but...
Well, this was what he decided back then. Maybe it was a stupid idea, but he didn't really see a better way back then. Appeasing both Neia and those who fought over him in Nazarick? What an excellent plan, you dumbass... think about how annoying it would be to actually execute next time...
Realising he wasn't answering for far too long, he quickly did.
"Come in."
The succubus did so happily, followed by several Liches who were holding stacks of documents.
When she reached his table, she leaned on it seductively.
"Say, my dear husband... are you busy today? I thought maybe we could do something fun... just the two of us..."
Just as he was about to accept, but suggest something mundane, another knock was heard.
"My husband?"
It was Shalltear. This of course made Albedo instantly angry.
"Come in."
The vampire had a similar reaction of wrath when she saw Albedo, but they both calmed down after only a moment, remembering the rule about no fighting.
"What brings you here, Shalltear?"
"I simply wanted to spend some time with my darling, of course."
He was about to correct her usage of that word, when Albedo suddenly laughed in a mocking tone.
"Hahaha... so you don't know?"
"D-don't know what?! What are you talking about?!"
"Heh... Surely you should know about what specific words Lord Ainz prefers his wives use for him... do you?"
"W-what?! L-Lord Ainz! What is she talking about?!"
He sighed, out loud this time.
"I prefer certain terms, and dislike others... generally, I do not like being called 'darling' as much as other, more romantic things, like 'husband' or 'my love'..."
He wondered if he would have to give this explanation again in the future, as this was probably not something his spouses would share amongst each other, instead using this knowledge to prove which of them was the better spouse.
"I-I see! Of course, my dearest husband!"
... ... ...
"... -liness? Your Holiness..."
Neia could feel herself waking up to a familiar voice. Though she didn't want to wake up at all, as she was dreaming about the man she loved.
"Your Holiness..."
And with that, she was taken past the point where she would probably not fall asleep again, no matter what.
A little disappointed, she opened her eyes.
"... Emma?"
"Yes, Your Holiness. You weren't responding to knocking, so I came inside."
She started to slowly get up, only to realise she was completely naked under the blanket, making her immediately retreat back under it.
She was now blushing, and the shock brought her to a fully awakened state.
"So... did your date with His Majesty go well?"
She said this in a sort of cheeky tone, which clearly indicated that she knew what they did. Looking around, it was probably obvious considering her discarded clothes were laying on a pile in a corner, and the fact that she was currently naked.
"Uhm... y-yes, thank you for asking..."
"..."
"..."
"... Do you want to talk about your first time?"
"H-hey! Don't be so upfront about it!"
"Sorry... Though you did just confirm to me that tonight was indeed the first..."
"Ugh... Get out, Emma!"
"As you wish."
