Chapter 21

I blinked my eyes awake the next day. Checking my phone, I seen that it was a little past 12pm. I set my phone down, and then my mind began replaying last night's events. I couldn't help but smile like a dope as I thought about all of the fun Liz and I had, as well as all of the ways Liz had me take her. On the bed, in the bathroom, the shower, the bed again, the kitchen when we went to get water and a snack.

My chest felt warm just thinking about it. It would be fair to say that previously, I was being a coward. Never wanting to fall in love, never wanting to give myself to someone. Yes, a lot of it was because I had never found someone to share my life with, but another part was that I was scared of what that would entail. I loved my parents, and the thought that they would die of old age in the future kept me up at night sometimes. Why would I willingly take more of that onto myself?

However, I'm happy to say that I failed in that regard, and I don't regret it in the least. Liz and Nadia were both wonderful, and now, I couldn't see myself living without them. They turned my monochrome world upside-down, and added color to my life. And if anyone tried to take our happiness away...well, I seemingly had no qualms about killing assholes if Iceblood was any indication. God, what a stupid fucking thing to call yourself... like I'm one to talk.

A soft and cute sigh of contentment roused me from my thoughts, and I looked down fondly at Liz, who lay in my bed with me, her head resting on my chest. She had drooled a little bit in her sleep, but the small amount of saliva on my chest just made me feel happy, and yeah, it was goddamned adorable. Her eyes fluttered open, and she turned her head to look at me, and I thought she was going to cry again from just the fact that I was still here.

"Good morning my dear." I said fondly, and she leaned up off of my chest, bringing her lips to mine in a soft kiss.

"Morning, Sid." She said happily as she released my lips.

Admittedly, I was getting a little turned on, due to the fact that she was as naked as the day she was born, but my affection for her could easily surpass those thoughts.

"How are you feeling?" I asked, and as she moved to untangle one of her legs from mine, she winced.

"Sore. Tired. Satisfied." She said that last part with some heat.

I tried, and ultimately failed, to suppress the rise of my cock, and when she noticed the tent I was making through the blankets, she giggled.

"Oh my. Well, that won't do." She said, and she quickly disappeared under the covers.

"Liz, you dont have to- oh God, actually go right ahead." I said, and then I groaned as her mouth enveloped me once more.

After some morning time fun, I decided to make us some breakfast. It was past noon, but it was still morning enough to me. I helped Liz to my couch after we got dressed, as strangely enough, she had some issues walking straight. No idea how that happened.

At any rate, while I didn't have much in the way of food in my house, I did have the essentials for a good breakfast at least. I made scrambled eggs with pepperjack cheese, because why the fuck would any sane person use anything else, toasted bread, and the all important food essential to any diet, bacon.

"Smells good." Liz said, sighing as she stretched her legs out on the couch.

"I probably won't be as good as your cooks, but I'll do my best." I replied, and she hummed.

"This is...nice. It's small, yet there is something comforting about the simplicity. Living in a giant home with maids and servants isn't all it's cracked up to be." She said, and I raised my eyebrows.

"Really?" I asked, and she winced.

"I'll admit, it's very... incredibly convenient, but it does get old. I like doing things myself."

I just laughed as I finished up our breakfast, plated it, and brought it over to her.

"Your food, mistress." I joked, and she rolled her eyes at me, but it turned into a snort when she took the offered plate, and I gave a respectful bow.

"That's one of the best things about you, Sid. You make me laugh, and you make me smile. More than anyone else has." She admitted, and I just smiled back.

"Making you happy makes me happy, so it's a win-win." I said, as I lifted her legs, and sat down. Her legs prompty fell back down to rest on my thighs.

I just snorted as I began to eat, or moreso, devour. Now that the food was done and in my hands, I realized how truly famished I was. Liz was the same way, eating her food like it was about to vanish. Even so, she began to slow down halfway through, meanwhile I had just taken my last bite, and then set my plate to the side on the small table in front of my couch.

I looked down to see the bare flesh of her legs, the smooth and creamy skin on full display. When she got dressed, she merely threw on one of my shirts, and her underwear, and that honestly left her looking just as sexy as if she were wearing nothing.

My hands went to work as I began to slowly knead and massage her thighs, recompense for the soreness she was feeling as a direct result of our activities. I said I would take care of her, and what better way than to help alleviate a problem that I had caused?

"Mmm, god that feels nice." Liz moaned around a mouthful of food as I continued working out her kinks, and loosening the tense muscles of her thighs.

"So, when do you think I should take you back home?" I asked.

She groaned as I massaged a very sensitive spot.

"Mmm. Soon, but not yet. I'm enjoying this too much." She said, then she sighed. "But I know that you have your other date with Nadia tonight, and I want you to be prepared for that." She said, and my kitsune's beautiful face flashed through my mind.

"I honestly can't wait. If she's anything like you..." I said, trailing off.

Liz giggled so hard that it made her tits jiggle in such a way that it temporarily shut off my brain.

"I'm not saying anything, only that I think you'll be very surpised." She said.

The thought made me even more excited. Liz and I talked more about this as we drifted off. She told me how her and Nadia loved each other in many ways, including in sexual ways. That led to me becoming hard as a rock as I envisioned them together. Needless to say, my reservations were pretty much gone. I wanted them both, and both of them wanted me. That was the simple truth, and now, all I could do was prove that I was worthy of their love.

We stayed cuddled on the couch for another hour or so. We went from making out, whsipering sweet nothings into each other's ears, and that eventually devolved into her riding me on the couch. Honestly, I didn't even know this part of Liz had existed until last night. The shy and timid elf truly became a lioness in heat when it came to sex. It went without saying that it was a very welcome development.

Soon though, we had finally gotten well and truly dressed, and we left my apartment as I took her back home. I didn't want to let her go, but I knew I had to, at least for now. It was strange, but ever since last night, and especially after I marked her, I felt the need to keep her close to me at all times. I pushed that instinct away, but it was still there nonetheless. She was mine, yes, but I didn't own her or anything. I wasn't that type of person.

We soon arrived at her place in short order, and I walked her inside, once again leaving my car out front. I had to get back home and take another shower, and then I needed to figure out what I wanted to wear later. Truth be told, while I would miss Liz, the propect of spending alone time with Nadia, getting to know better, and the possibility of certain... activities... oh man I felt like a horny 17 year old again.

Actually, the more I thought about Nadia, the more I realized that I really missed her too. To be frank, Liz made it pretty hard for me to think at all last night, and even this morning, so I hadn't truly thought about it. Then, a startling realization came to mind, and that made me look at Liz's chest.

It was covered right now, but I was focusing on where I marked her. I had every reason to believe that the same thing would happen again. Liz must have saw my gaze, and the look on my face, because she leaned into my side as we kept walking down the hall of her home.

"Sid, don't worry. I'm sure she'll... no, I know she'll love the mark. Don't worry about it too much." She said, and I gave a weak smile.

That was reassuring. I just didn't want to cause Nadia any pain, even a minor amount. Still, something about the mark on Liz's chest connected us in a way I was still trying to grasp. I could almost feel how she felt, and the happiness I could feel helped reassure me even more. I could also feel something stirring within me from our connection, but it was a faint thing. Somehow, it felt... green? Can color have feeling?

We had finally reached the living room, and not for the first time, I wondered why it was so necessary to have such a big fucking house. Nevertheless, Ryanna was there to greet us, like she had anticipated exactly when we would come back.

"There you both are! How was your date? Given that you spent the night with Sid, I take it you had... fun?" She asked, a teasing smile on her lips.

It was a little... no, it was really fucking weird to have my girlfriend's mothers basically encouraging us to have sex. Ryanna was more subtle about it than Yuna, but her expressions and innuendos were just as on the nose as Yuna's words. Usually parents went out of their way to protect their children's chastity, but not those two.

"Y-yes mother, it was a good day. We learned more about each other. We are closer... much closer." Liz said with scarlet cheeks, squeezing my arm even tighter to her chest.

When Ryanna saw the genuine love and affection we both shared with each other, her smirk became a genuine smile.

"How sweet... reminds me of my first date with your father. Sid, thank you for making my girl happy." She said with a surprising warmth.

This time, I actually didn't flush, I didn't feel embarrassed. I just felt proud. Proud that, I of all people, could make another happy. As long as Liz was by my side, I would continue to do so.

Thad walked into the room a moment later, and the look he gave me was... not scary, but not as welcoming as Ryanna's.

"Welcome back home, Liz. I take it the date went well?" He asked, no emotion in his tone.

She hesitated before nodding.

"Yes. Sid treated me well, and we're closer than ever before." She said, standing a bit straighter.

He studied her for while, judging her movements, mannerisms, and facial expressions, before he smiled.

"Wonderful. I knew you were a good man, Sid. I could tell from the first time I spoke to you." Thad said, and I internally sighed in relief. I wasn't too keen on finding out if he had an enchanted shotgun hiding under his bed.

"I want you to tell me all about it!" Ryanna said excitedly, coming over and taking her daughter's hand, "From what I heard, Sid here has another date he has to get ready for."

Before Liz let her mom drag her away, she turned and planted a kiss on my lips, deepening it and letting it linger despite her parents being right there. When she ended the kiss, she said.

"Talk later. Love you, and have fun." She said, and then winked at me.

I couldn't help but grin.

"Yeah. Love you too."

"How cute! Now I really need to know." Ryanna said, smiling brightly, and then pulled her daughter away, out of earshot and eyesight.

I was about turn around and begin to leave, when I realized that Thad had never walked away. He just gave me a calculating look, before he walked over, and put a hand on my shoulder.

"You know, every father has reservations when their daughter is interested in guy, but I knew you were a good man. Then, I had reservations when I heard about your relationship arrangement, but I decided to trust in my girl, and in you. For someone to make her smile so brightly, and so genuinely... well, I have no more reservations." He said, giving me a fatherly smile.

I almost choked up, I'll admit it, but I hwld that in, and just returned the gesture.

"I truly love your daughter, Thad. I'll always be there for her." I replied, and he patted my shoulder again.

"I know. I can see it in your eyes. Thank you, Sid." He said, then he coughed, "And it sounds weird to say this after what I just said, but I hope your date with Nadia goes just as well. She's like a daughter to me too."

I nodded.

"Yes sir." I said.

He just rolled his eyes and chuckled, before releasing my shoulder and heading off.

Laughing, I left their home, and got in my car. I had another date to get ready for, after all.

"Life is fucking great."
