Chapter 896 - 896: An Un-Sexy Sleepover Pt. 1
To be fully transparent, sleeping with Abaddon and Eris in the dream world was something that Izanami had to get used to.
Izanami had lived most of her life as a single, solitary goddess of death and that meant she preferred to do most things alone. Abaddon and Eris were the most overtly affectionate, touchy individuals she had ever met in her life.
When sleeping, they literally piled their heavy bodies on top of her.
Though it took a while to get used to, she eventually found herself unable to go to sleep without them touching her.
She hadn’t had a proper rest since she had come out of her dream world.
But now, she was back in a dangerously familiar bed and feeling that same blissful feeling.
Abaddon didn’t really know what to make of it.
“Are you… sure that I’m not crushing you?”
Izanami somehow nodded even with his large arm wrapped around her throat.
“I’m fine. You can hold me tighter if you like.”
Abaddon was worried that if he held her any tighter, her head might pop clean off. Something she clearly seemed to sense.
“I may not be a dragon, but I’m still not some human girl. You can hold me a bit tighter or I may just end up wandering away…” she teased.
Euphoric bliss flooded into her mind as Abaddon put just the perfect amount of pressure on her body. Making her just the perfect amount of lightheaded.
‘Ahh… Bliss.’
While Izananmi was sleeping with her back against Abaddon, her face was towards Eris, and coincidentally, Tatiana, who was lying across her chest.
“You seem to be fitting in real well. Are you comfortable?”
Izanami suddenly realized that maybe she shouldn’t be the one taking up both of Abaddon’s arms.
“I’m sorry… should I-“
“It’s not like a kindergarten class, dear. There are no assigned spaces, everyone is just getting in wherever they feel most comfortable.”
Izanami looked around and realized that the girls weren’t joking.
With the exception of these three, everyone else was tucked into bed and either already dozing off or up and reading.
Though she would occasionally catch one of the wives staring back at her. Unknowingly making her heart speed up.
Tatiana suddenly shifted her weight and held out her arms. “… But if you would feel more comfortable moving, then you can always come and lay with me instead.”
Abaddon unconsciously tightened his grip on Izanami before she could answer.
“No poaching.”
“Oh? If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were trying to keep our little plaything all to yourself. Didn’t we agree to share her?”
Izanami didn’t like being objectified… Usually.
But listening to Tatiana and Abaddon bicker over her like she was a piece of meat was more stimulating than she would ever admit to the public.
Eris suddenly pulled both of her lovers by their ears. “Please, let’s keep talk of ‘sharing’ to a minimum so that there are no misunderstandings. Or have you all forgotten the present company?”
Their gazes went towards the foot of the bed. Where two separate cribs housed two separate babies.
K’ael was down for the count now but would need to wake up again in about an hour to be fed.
Meanwhile, Odessa had accidentally been allowed to take a two-minute nap today. So she was probably going to be up for the rest of the night.
The rhythmic way in which she twirled her rattle was all the confirmation her parents needed to know that they had fucked up.
Abaddon smiled wryly as he smiled back at their youngest children. “Not exactly… the most romantic environment to be in. Sorry.”
Izananmi just shook her head. “If I wanted to be with someone who didn’t spend time with their family, then that’s what I would’ve done. I’m good where I am.”
Abaddon smiled. “That may be, but… I would still like to take you to many more places that don’t linger with the smell of mashed carrots.”
Odessa stopped what she was doing and stared at her father, almost as if she could understand him.
She couldn’t help it if she liked what she liked! Some babies had very particular taste buds!
The parents found themselves laughing softly at their child’s incredulous look.
Abaddon noticed for the first time just how close his face was to Izanami’s.
And after a few moments, she seemed to notice the same thing.
Their eyes met briefly.
Izanami wasn’t sure if she was imagining things, but the glow in Abaddon’s eyes seemed to be getting brighter the longer she stared into them.
It was electrifying.
Izananmi was the one to start leaning forward first.
Her lips gradually drifted towards his, and much to her inner elation, she didn’t find him pulling away.
The moment that their lips connected, Izanami felt a jolt of euphoria rush through her that was powerful enough to produce a rush of tears.
For the life of her, she was not certain how she had come to mistake her dream version of him for an accurate replication.
There was absolutely no contest.
He tried to pull away after who knew how long, but Izanami grabbed him again and pulled him back in for a longer, more passionate kiss. Surprising and thrilling him in unison.
Their kiss started to see an uptake in intensity when suddenly, Abaddon pulled away much more forcefully this time.
Though not because he wasn’t enjoying himself. He turned his head to stare at the door.
“Incoming.”
Everyone in the bed straightened up instantly.
Bekka and Audrina put on sweatpants so that they weren’t just sitting in bed naked.
Izanami was still upset to know that her kiss had been interrupted, and quickly looked around for the reason why.
Not two seconds later, the dragon’s bedroom door burst open and two not-so-young girls came in with pillows and blankets.
Mira’s mouth was moving, but she realized eventually that no sound was coming out.
Eris put her hand down and nodded towards the crib at the foot of their bed.
“Let’s try not to disturb your little brother while he’s sleeping, okay?”
Mira and Yemaya slowly let their eyes drift towards the crib.
There, they found a small young child swaddled perfectly in a blanket and sleeping peacefully with his eyes closed.
His chest slowly rose and fell as the air around him shimmered like a space heater.
Mira lost all of her animation as she was slowly mesmerized by the innocent creature in front of her. “…He was born already?”
Abaddon nodded as he tried to use his large body to keep Izanami hidden out of sight. “Just a few hours ago.”
“Why didn’t you guys tell anyone..?” Yemaya asked as she wandered forward.
She gently placed her hand over her brother’s chest and smiled at him affectionately despite the immense heat coursing off him.
“We just wanted to keep our last child to ourselves for the night. Can you blame us?” Lisa asked.
K’ael was going to be the Tathamet’s last child.
This would be their last first night with them. Their last opportunity to watch the fruits of their love grow from start to finish.
Just this once, they wanted to be a little bit selfish if they could.
“What’s his name…?” Mira asked.
“K’ael. And he’s going to need his big sisters to set a good example for him since his brothers are all pretty hopeless.” Sif yawned.
Outside the bedroom, four distinct hearts could be heard breaking into two.
“D’you know what kind of god he is yet??” Yemaya leaned in. “He’s pretty warm, so…”
The parents glanced at each other and shrugged.
“Well… We didn’t actually check, dear.” Audrina shrugged. “Like your father said, we’re enjoying the moment here.”
The group figured that their newest son was some brand of fire god, but beyond that, they didn’t have any other clue about what kind of god he was.
“And part of enjoying the moment meant that we wanted to do so as a couple, so not to sound rude but… what exactly are you girls doing in here?” Seras asked as politely as possible.
Mira smiled as wide as she could and held out the pillow underneath her arm.
“We came to spend the night with you guys!”
“…Mira baby, aren’t you too old for that?”
“Dad said that we could come in here whenever we felt like it!”
The wives turned to stare at Abaddon with an accusatory look.
He just held his hands up in surrender. “In my defense… I thought she’d lose interest in us the older she got.”
No one really looked swayed by his attempt to feign innocence.
While staring at her father, Yemaya finally noticed a smaller figure hiding behind him.
Her eyes widened slightly when she realized that the figure she was staring at was one they knew all too well.
“Umm… Is that GG-Ma?”
The hearts of everyone in the room sank.
Mira just shook her head in disappointment and clutched her pillow even tighter.
“No wonder you guys don’t want us in here. You guys are in here sinning!”
