Chapter 48: Hidden Feelings
Yasaka could not have known, but her attempt to relax me had far reaching consequences. Her drawing me into her own meditative state was the best instruction in the art I could have ever asked for. I must admit, the ease at which I found myself meditating on my next attempt did endear me heavily towards the Matron of Kyoto.
I was overseen by Ranni, as was proper for when I was dealing with something like this, but unfortunately she could not assist overmuch. Apparently the soul was something deeply personal, any form of interference or action by an outside force could result in unforeseen consequences, even for one such as her.
Especially for one such as her.
Still, she was able to observe, to ensure that I was warned off of doing anything stupid as well as offering advice should I need it. Closing my eyes, remembering the feeling that the Nine-Tailed Fox had induced within me, I sank into the trance. Feeling the thrumming core at the centre of my being, I resumed my examination of the cage around my soul in earnest.
"It is odd…" I murmured, deeply immersed in the feeling and construction of the cage, "But not surprising, upon further thought."
"What might that be, mine Consort?" Ranni asked, her mental voice soft, not wishing to be a disturbance.
"This construction, the way the seal's magic is structured… It feels familiar." I responded.
"That is to be expected." Was the response, "The seal has been a part of thee for a while yet, my dear. Plenty of time for thou to become familiar with the construct."
"Yes, but…" I trailed off, my mind turning it over, "It feels more than that. There is something that is tickling the back of my thoughts. Let me think…"
Ranni stayed quiet as I thought it over. One of the things that irked me about this seal is who could have placed it. Currently, there were three major suspects. Serafall, Catharsis and the parents of this body. I had hoped that examining the seal would have helped me narrow it down, but it was proving frustratingly stubborn to my attempts at divining its secrets.
Even more annoying, it didn't show to my Geass, or at least I had not yet figured out how to use my Geass upon my own soul. It would be so much easier if I could just find a weak point to Lock and bring the whole thing down… Wait.
My realisation brought me out of my meditation, my eyes snapping open as I rose from where my body had been resting against the Goddess.
"Damocles? Hath thy achieved a breakthrough?" She asked, causing me to turn to her.
"Perhaps. Let me try something." I turned back to the garden, reaching for my family trait.
Pulling it into existence, I Locked the movement of the air in a wide area. Once done, I activated my Geass and examined the structure of the magic in deeper detail. I had done this before, when attempting to garner more understanding of my clan trait, but I had reached a dead end in that department. Now, the reasoning for such a stop could have revealed itself.
Looking at the construction of the Lock, I could see it. It was different, it looked unlike the seal on my soul, but the patterns… The patterns were there. The building blocks of the two different magic constructs were the same, even if their final visages differed vastly.
"I think…" I spoke, turning back to Ranni, "That the seal on my soul was a Lock, from the Sagan Clan trait."
"I see, so thy theory that it could have been placed by thine mother was correct." Ranni answered, a small smile on her face, "I am thankful that it was not an action by an enemy. It was likely placed as a safety measure, from what I could glean from the tales about her."
"Yes." I sagged, in mixed relief and frustration, "I am thankful that it is not a kill switch or something more insidious, but there is a problem."
"What is that, Consort?" Her head tilted slightly.
"I have no idea what it is Locking. And seeing as it likely is using my own Demonic Power to power itself… Fighting it blind would be unlikely to succeed."
"I see." She murmured, before rising to her feet, gently drawing me into a four armed embrace, "I am sorry, Damocles. Answers have only spawned more questions in this regard. However, I have faith that thou shalt prevail and overcome this trial."
Hugging her cool body to me in return, I mentally agreed with her. Even though I was no closer to actually undoing the seal, at least I was no longer stumbling blind in the dark.
Just that was already a large amount of progress.

One part of owning a successful Trading Company is the unfortunate reality that I occasionally had to actually run said company. I delegated, of course, accounting and contract enforcement being handled better than I could by Shiro and CC, but allowing someone else to have full control was not in my nature.
So I had to sit at my desk in my Office every now and then, making sure that things were going as I would want them to. I remained the final say in any decisions in regards to the company, meaning that I had quite the ever cycling pile of paperwork to go through and approve. In the past couple of years, I had grown rather competent at this task, files and documents slowly but surely moving themselves from the 'in' to the 'out' pile.
I had taken some time out of my schedule with my Peerage in order to stay on top of this, meaning that I was rather surprised by the knock on my office door. Wondering who could be disturbing me at the moment, despite knowing that I was busy with work, I called out to the mystery visitor.
"Come in."
The door opened, revealing my dutiful Knight holding a tray, upon which lay a slice of the cake I had made for lunch and a steaming cup.
"Sorry to bother you." Kasane spoke, her voice even, "I brought you something to help."
"Thank you, Kasane." I smiled at her, despite my surprise.
This was something I would expect from her sister, not the rather focused Kasane. Still, I appreciated the gesture. Kasane walked forwards and placed the tray down before stepping back. Lifting up the cup, idly glancing down and confirming its contents at tea, I took a long sip before signing the paper in front of me and moving it to the out pile.
I noticed that Kasane had stilled after placing down the tray, her body language formal and tense. Looking at her out of the corner of my eye, I saw the very slight swaying of her hips, her nervousness being betrayed by the motion.
"You can relax Kasane. I don't bite." A small bit of tension left her shoulders at my words, "Unless you want me to."
That got a small laugh out of her, the rest of her tension dissipating as she took in a deep breath and let it out.
Resolved, she turned to me, causing me to also move to face her, "Damocles, I want to try something."
I raised an eyebrow, causing her to flush, "Oh?"
"Something… intimate." She fidgeted as she admitted it, causing me to grin. Seeing my expression, her flush deepened as she pouted slightly, "I'm not good at explaining things. Don't tease me."
"Sorry, sorry." I held up my hands, "What did you want to try?"
"Well… I saw… There was a thing on the DevilNet and…" She started and stopped, her blush not abating in the slightest even as she carefully controlled her expression.
"Kasane." I spoke, causing her to stop and look at me attentively, "You don't need to ask permission or explain yourself. If you want to do something with me, just try it and if it's not something I'm into I'll stop you, okay?"
"I understand." She responded, before shocking me as she immediately dropped to her knees and started to crawl under my desk.
I had meant that in the future, she didn't have to fret about acting during our intimate moments, but as she started to undo and work down my pants, I wisely decided that the clarification could wait. Her boldness proved effective, as her warm breath quickly excited me and I was soon at full hardness.
She stared at the turgid pillar of flesh for a few moments before sighing out, "This was inside me...?"
"You sound disbelieving." I joked, causing her to look up at me bashfully.
"I didn't get a good look last time." She pouted, causing me to laugh, "Shut up."
Possibly in an attempt to force me to, she hesitantly stuck out her tongue and clumsily ran it up the bottom of my dick. I sucked in a hiss of air the sensation, gripping the edge of the desk as the pleasure ran through me. After her First exploratory lick, she stared up at me, a smug aura radiating out of her from my reaction.
I shivered a bit from the sensation of her cooling saliva, the sensation growing slightly uncomfortable.
"Surely that wasn't all you wanted to try?" My question brought a slight quirk of Kasane's lips, as she softly shook her head and leaned forward to blow on my tip.
I gripped the edges of my desk, the feeling of the rushing air on the sensitive flesh combined with the cold fluid left by her tongue almost maddening.
"Kasane." I spoke, my voice holding a warning within it.
She tilted her head, a perfect look of innocent curiosity on her face as she asked, "It's called a blow job, no? Am I doing it wrong?"
I laughed, forcing out, "You're fucking with me, aren't you?"
"Yes." She smirked, a cheeky grin on her face that quickly faded as she turned back to my exposed cock..
She took in a deep breath, steeling herself before she kissed the tip, her lips slowly sliding open as she started to feed my dick into her mouth. I closed my eyes, backing in the sensation as more and more of it was welcomed into her moist, warm mouth. Testing, she sucked, the actions sending a jolt up my spine.
Devil bodies were perfectly tuned for revelling in sin, after all.
Her tongue, which had been resting idly on the underside of my cock, started to move, lapping and moving around the flesh it could. Quickly seeing the problem, she pulled back until just the head of my dick was in her lips, lavishing licks and caresses upon it as it rested there.
Like how she approached everything, she took this task she had taken upon herself very seriously. Dutifully experimenting and testing, she soon established a rhythm of deep sucks followed by pulling back to lap around my shaft with her tongue. Still, she didn't rest on her laurels, trying out anything that came to mind, varying her speeds and intensities.
She quickly came up with a wicked idea. Not quite ready to experiment with taking me within her throat, she instead pushed me against her cheek, taking a large amount of my shaft into her mouth as her tongue went crazy flicking the side.
"Fuuuuck, Kasane." I groaned out, my grip on the desk becoming white knuckled.
I could feel her lips twitch at the sound, but our lustful moment was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Damocles?" Came a familiar voice, causing both our eyes to widen, locking together as she looked up at me with shock.
"Can we talk?" Naomi called out through the door.
"I'm a bit preoccupied at the moment." I called out, trying my damnedest to keep my voice level, "Is it urgent?"
"Not... urgent, exactly. But it is important." Kasane gave me a meaningful look, and pulled off my cock with a muted pop.
"You should speak to her." She whispered, causing me to stare at her in surprise.
I mean, I was not shy, but the idea of talking to Naomi with my cock out under the desk after just having been blown by her sister was a bit brazen, even for my standards.
"Damocles?" Naomi's voice came once again, causing me to sigh.
"Remember, this was your idea." I whispered to the white haired girl, before straightening up and moving the chair closer to the desk, said girl nestling between my legs before I called out, "Come in, Naomi."
"Thank you." The blond opened the door, walking in before closing it behind her and taking in a deep breath, facing me resolutely.
"What did you want to talk to me about?" I questioned, schooling my features to make sure she had no clues as to what had just been occurring.
"You slept with Kasane." Came the unexpected statement, causing Kasane herself to stiffen up between my legs, "I want to know what your intentions are towards her."
"Are you asking if I am going to marry her? Or was your question more as to how I feel for her?" I raised an eyebrow.
"I know marriage isn't in the cards." Was her response, bitterness slipping in for the briefest of moments, "But if you are playing with her heart I won't forgive you."
"We had this conversation before. I believe it was when you asked if I was a murderer." I spoke, causing her to flinch, "But I suppose clarification won't be out of the question."
My tone turned stern, brooking no argument, "Kasane is mine. You are mine. For as long as that remains the case, I refuse to give either of you up. I know it's difficult to completely comprehend, but we are immortal, Naomi. From now on until eternity, you are stuck with me."
"What if we don't want to be yours? What if we want to be free?" The question caused Kasane to fidget, seemingly panicking her.
I brought my hand underneath the desk, gently resting it reassuringly on her head, "Do you want to be free? Do you want to leave, Naomi? Does Kasane?"
I could feel the head under my palm shake itself at the question, almost making me smile.
Naomi chewed her lips, conflict clear on her face, "No. I like it here. But, this relationship you have with CC, now Kasane and soon Ranni, who knows who else... It's wrong."
"Why?" My question was blunt, causing her to almost flinch at its curtness, "For what reason? They are all aware of the situation and accept it. I haven't forced them into anything, and I care for each one dearly. If that is your concern, you can rest assured, I cherish Kasane a great deal. She amazes me, I have come to rely on her a great deal."
The statement caused a warm cheek to rest against my thigh, the heat indicating the intense blush of its owner.
"That's..." Naomi trailed off, Her resolve and momentum dissipating.
"We are not human, Naomi." I spoke softly, my words trailing across the room, "Expecting us to hold to human morals is foolishness. The only thing we can turn to in matters such as these is our own minds and our own hearts."
Gently stroking the head of her sister, I continued, "Whatever feelings they contain, we should not feel guilt for them. So long as we are honest with each other, we will be able to work through it."
My words had the intended effect, causing Naomi to visibly start considering them, turning them over in her mind.
They also had an unintended effect, however. My dick had not completely softened, the cooling saliva stimulating it minimally as it hung in the air, but the process was swiftly reversed as I felt lips gently touch the tip.
It almost made me look down in shock, completely disbelieving that Kasane would attempt to resume our interrupted activity with her sister still in the room.
"CC was right. You are annoyingly perceptive." Naomi spoke, refocusing my gaze onto her as I struggled to not show what was happening on my face.
"She has told me so directly." I responded, clenching my free fist as I sunk once more into the depths of Kasane's mouth..
Naomi took in a deep breath, before stating, "You want to own us. Completely. That's your goal with the entire Peerage."
I wondered if Kasane was still paying attention, as instead of pausing she instead brought me deeper than she had ever gone before, just before I would start to enter her throat. I replied just as she pulled back, the soft satin feeling of her lips a pleasurable hell for my focus.
"Yes." I didn't deny it, Kasane starting to lavish my tip with licks and suckles as the conversation continued, "Is that a problem for you?"
Naomi struggled visibly for a bit, before she asked in a small voice, "You won't ever abandon us?"
Out of everything, this is what caused Kasane to stop, but for what reason I could not say.
"Never." The surety in my voice was like stating the sun would rise, "When I said you were stuck with me for eternity, I meant it."
"Okay." Naomi nodded, a wide smile forming on her face as she apparently made a decision, "So when can I expect my date?"
The words caused Kasane to jolt, almost choking herself in her shock. To be fair, they came completely out of left field for me as well.
"I wasn't aware you wanted one?" I cursed internally as the statement came out more as a question, taking in a deep breath as Kasane resumed her motions.
"Well now you do. So when is my turn?" I could recognise a strong front when I saw one, but with the determined distraction of Kasane's suckling and licking, I was in no position to delve under it.
"I'll get back to you. Expect to hear from me soon." I sent a grin her way, causing a teasing grin in response.
"I'll look forward to it." As she said that, she whirled around and opened the door, moving into the hallway and closing it behind her again, attempting for all the world to look like she wasn't attempting to flee.
As her sister left, Kasane became more animated, her movements growing bolder, slurps and sucks echoing from under desk as I tightened my grip on her head, my other hand grasping the edge of the wood.
"Damn, Kasane, what has got into you?" My question went unanswered, as for the first time she took me deeply, her throat welcoming the length as she swallowed around me.
I groaned as the sticky walls of her neck fluttered around my dick, the pulling sensation of her swallows milking my entire cock. Pulling back slightly, she started to bob and down, screwing her head into my lap. Involuntarily, I thrust up, causing a slight choke to sound out. Rather than stopping, she redoubled her effort, putting her full effort into the act.
"Kasane, I'm going to cum!" I warned, tapping her shoulder with the hand that had been on her head, wanting to warn her before the rising tide of pleasure swept me away.
In response to my words, she dove down, her lips meeting my pelvis as she repeated her swallowing trick, milking the orgasm out of me. The load rushed out in time to her swallows, disappearing down her throat and directly into her stomach.
Soon it was finished, the last of my come dibbling into her hungry maw as she pulled herself off my cock. An audible swallow was heard over the sound of my own heavy breathing, and soon the Knight made her way out from under the desk. I stared down t her as I caught my breath, but instead of the bashful girl I had become used to, Kasane instead stared back at me with naked desire.
"What the Hell was that about?" I asked, causing her to lead in and kiss my cheek, before whispering into my ear.
"You're going to ruin her. Treat Naomi well, okay?" Well now.
That was a whole can of worms that bared investigation.
Later though, as my sexy Knight was still glued to my body, arousal painted over her entire bearing. Deciding that the paperwork could also wait, I stood, vanishing our clothes as I did and sweeping her into my arms in a princess carry.
"We will continue this conversation in the Bedroom." I spoke down at her, a teleportation circle flaring to life under my feet.
Her red eyes stared up into mine, "Gladly."
