Miko was a little surprised by Aether's request. They'd been sharing a private tofu dinner by the candlelight, making small talk. Aether's eyes kept wandering during the meal from her eyes to her breasts to her low-cut dress and thighs.

Feeling particularly mischievous, Miko slipped closer to him. She rested her hand on his thigh and brought her lips to his ear. Tickling his ears with her warm breaths, she delighted in how he blushed like a little schoolboy. So cute.

"Well, little one," she said sensuously. "The meal's finished. But I think you're still hungry. Shall I … satiate your appetite?"

He nodded.

"So, what would you like to do first?"

"W-well, it's kind of embarrassing but…" his voice trailed off.

Her index finger traced circles around his fly, toying with the zipper. "Oh, Aether. I'm open to absolutely anything. Just say the word."

"Then, could you… whisper in my ear?"

Miko's smile faltered.

"Pardon?"

Aether fidgeted nervously. "It's just… I really love hearing your beautiful voice."

Miko had been called many things: sensuous, wicked, mischievous, dangerous, intelligent, devious, sexy. But she couldn't remember her voice ever being called beautiful. Yae Miko, the lewdest creature in all of creation whose sexual knowledge was encyclopedic, blushed.

Then, she cupped his chin. Her lips hovered an inch from his ear.

"I love you," she whispered. Aether's whole body tingled with excitement. It got her all giddy inside to see how much control she had over him with just her voice. She got a little hot and bothered herself. "I want to pin you down and ride you. You make me so aroused."

"M-Miko," he gasped.

"Shh," she said coyly. "No thoughts for my husband. Just sweet, pleasant sounds."

Aether utterly melted into her touch.
