Chapter 258 - 46
Seijirou groaned, the sound vibrating in his throat as the heavy fog of unconsciousness finally began to lift.
His body felt strangely heavy, yet filled with a lingering warmth that pulsed rhythmically beneath his skin—a remnant of the divine light he had just encountered.
He slowly opened his eyes, blinking against the soft, warm glow of a paper lantern.
He wasn’t on the mountain peak anymore; he was lying on a soft, thick futon in a dark, traditional Japanese room, and he also found that he was wearing a kimono.
The scent of tatami and aged cedar filled his nose, grounding him in the reality of the Midorima mansion.
“Seijirou-sama? You’re finally awake!”
The voice was a gentle caress as he turned his head and saw Yuko sitting beside him.
Right now, she was dressed in a simple yukata, her hair slightly disheveled, her eyes red as if she had been crying, but she was smiling now—a smile of pure, overwhelming relief.
“Yuko?” Seijirou’s voice was raspy as he tried to clear the dryness in his throat. “How long was I out? Did I miss the sunrise?”
Yuko shook her head, reaching out to brush a stray lock of hair from his forehead. “Just half an hour, Seijirou-sama. The battle at the gate ended almost the moment the light faded from the peak. Father, Mother, and Haruka are outside now, dealing with the aftermath and organizing the village elders.”
“Aftermath…” Seijirou muttered.
The memories of the green sludge, the tentacles, the High Priest’s gaping maw, and finally, his meeting with the goddess, all came rushing back.
He sat up slowly, his muscles aching with a dull fatigue. “What… what happened to those girls? The ones who were swallowed by that thing?”
Yuko’s eyes held a complicated, haunting look, flickering with a mixture of sorrow and awe. “Those girls… after you struck down the Great God, they suddenly appeared from its dissolving form, seemingly untouched. Their bodies are healed, their wounds gone… and when they woke up, they had no memory of anything that happened inside the temple. They remember the festival, then a blank space, and then waking up in there and then. Their trauma… it’s as if it was washed away by the light.”
Seijirou nodded, leaning his back against the wall as he thought of Mayumi’s final smile and the orb of light. “Yeah… that might be for the best. Some things are better left forgotten. They get a second chance at a clean life.”
“Seijirou-sama,” Yuko spoke, her voice dropping into a soft, reverent tone as se took his hand in hers, her fingers interlacing with his. “Thank you. For saving my hometown, for saving me… and for helping the Great God rest in peace. My mother told me she felt the mountain ’breathe’ again for the first time in years.”
Seijirou shook his head, his thumb tracing the back of her hand.
“This is the place you grew up in, Yuko. It’s a part of you. Naturally, I was going to protect it. Besides,” his eyes darkened with a familiar, territorial heat, “it was those bastards’ fault for targeting you. They brought this on themselves the moment they thought they could take what belongs to me.”
Yuko smiled faintly, a playful yet submissive glint returning to her hazy eyes. “Yes. They certainly picked the wrong fight. They messed with the most possessive, dangerous man on the planet.”
The two stared at each other in the silence of the room, the distant sounds of the village coming back to life echoing outside.
The air between them grew thick, charged with the lingering adrenaline of the night and the deep, spiritual bond they shared.
Slowly, Yuko moved. She reached out, her hands gently grabbing his shoulders, then, with a strength that was both firm and yielding, she guided him back down onto the futon.
She didn’t move away; instead, she climbed over him, sitting on all fours on top of him, her yukata slipping slightly to reveal the elegant curve of her neck and shoulders.
“Seijirou-sama…” Yuko whispered, her breath warm against his skin.
She leaned down, her long hair falling like a curtain around them, shielding them from the rest of the world.
She brought her face close, her lips trembling slightly before they met his in a deep, lingering kiss that tasted of gratitude and unspoken promises.
Seijirou didn’t hesitate. He put his hands on her hips, feeling the soft heat of her body through the thin fabric.
He pulled her down, making her lie flush against him as he deepened the kiss, his tongue claiming hers with a primal intensity that made her let out a low, muffled moan.
They eventually broke off, gasping for air, their foreheads resting against each other. Yuko’s eyes were completely hazy now, shimmering with a desperate, singular desire.
“Seijirou-sama… will you grant this request of mine? Here, in the home of my ancestors, where the mountain can witness us?”
“Whatever it is, Yuko. It’s yours.”
She leaned down, her lips brushing against his ear as she whispered a secret that made his heart skip a beat. “You see… the timing is perfect. I’m ovulating. Will you… allow me to have your child? I want to carry a piece of you forever. I want to feel what it means to be a mother of a child, once again.”
Seijirou’s grip on her hips tightened as he smiled at her, “Very well.”
“Thank you, Seijirou-sama.”
Then, without a word, his hands immediately went and found the knot of her obi.
She tilts her chin up, allowing him to loosen the silk as the yukata falls open, revealing the pale curve of her shoulder, and the swell of her breasts.
Yuko’s breath catches as his fingers brush her skin. She reaches for the hem of his kimono, pulling it aside until it pools around his hips.
His cock is already hard, rising thick and eager between them as she cups him gently, her thumb tracing the length, and a low sigh escapes his lips.
“I want you, please …” she whispers, her voice a soft tremor.
Without hesitation, Seijirou leans in, pressing his mouth to hers.
The kiss is slow and deep while his hand slides into her hair, cradling her skull while the other explores the warmth of her thighs.
She parts them willingly, the folds of her sex already slick with need.
He lays her back onto the tatami, the cool rush of air against her exposed skin making her shiver.
Her legs fall apart as he settles between them, his cock brushing against her inner thigh as he looks down at her, his hazel eyes dark with longing.
“You’re so beautiful,” he murmurs.
“Thank you,” She brings her hands to his chest, guiding him closer. “Take me. Please.”
He guides the head of his cock to her entrance, pressing slowly, steadily, the wet heat of her drawing him inward.
Yuko gasps, her back arching as he fills her completely. For a moment he stays still, letting her adjust, feeling the tight warmth clamp around him.
Then he begins to move in a long, languid strokes that rock her entire body as her hips rise to meet each thrust, her hands gripping his shoulders.
The rhythm is unhurried, intimate, the only sounds their mingled breathing and the soft slap of skin.
She wraps her legs around his waist, pulling him deeper.
“Don’t stop,” she breathes, her fingers tangling in his hair. “I want all of you.”
He presses his forehead to hers, his pace quickening, the need building as the friction drags moans from her throat, her nails raking lightly down his back.
His breath hitches as he feels her fluttering around him.
“Come for me,” he whispers.
The climax crests—a shuddering, honeyed wave that clenches around his cock as she cries out, her body tensing beneath him.
He buries himself deep, spilling into her with a low groan, the warmth flooding her core.
For a long, breathless moment they stay tangled together, heartbeats slowing.
He pulls out gently, collapses beside her, and draws her into his arm.
Yuko curls against him, her hand resting low on her belly, a soft smile on her lips. Then, she looked up to him.
“I think, just this once isn’t enough, Seijirou-sama.”
Seijirou chuckled.
The tatami still holds a ghost of their warmth as they lie tangled, the soft pulse of their slowing breaths filling the silence after she said those words.
Yuko’s white hair fans across his chest, her cheek pressed to the damp skin over his heart as the scent of sex and incense clings to the air.
She shifts, the slick of his release between her thighs cooling slightly, and feels the stir of his cock against her hip as he begins to harden again.
Sitting up slowly, she lets her hair fall over one shoulder, her blue eyes fixed on him as her hand slides down his stomach, fingers grazing the trail of ash-blond hair until she cups his length.
He is already thickening, growing, rising under her touch as she squeezes gently, watching his jaw tighten.
“Please,” she whispers, her voice pleading.
He catches her wrist and pulls her upward, rolling her onto her back in one fluid motion.
This time there is no hesitation, no gentle pause as his mouth finds her throat, teeth grazing the delicate skin as his hand pushes her thighs apart.
She is still slick and swollen from before, and the moment his fingers find her folds she gasps—two digits sliding inside, curling, stretching.
“Like this?” his voice is low, rough.
“Yes,” she breathes, arching into his hand.
He works her slowly at first, deliberately, watching her face as her lips part and her eyes flutter shut.
But his own need is building, and soon he withdraws his fingers, replacing them with the head of his cock.
He presses in without pause, the wet glide of him filling her completely in one deep, steady thrust.
Yuko’s cry is sharp, back bowing off the tatami.
He sets a pace that is relentless, each stroke longer and deeper than the last.
The tatami creaks beneath them with the rhythm as he grips her hips, fingers digging into the soft flesh, pulling her onto him with every forward motion.
Her legs wrap high around his waist, heels pressing into his lower back, urging him deeper.
The room grows warm, sweat sheening their skin as he lifts her leg over his shoulder, changing the angle, and the new depth draws a choked moan from her throat.
Her nails rake across his shoulders, leaving red trails as the wet sound of their bodies meeting fills the space, punctuated by her gasps and his grunts.
“Harder,” she begs, the word breaking.
He obeys, his thrusts becoming punishing, hips slapping against hers as each impact jars through her, the pleasure mounting into a sharp, coiled tension.
She clenches around him, and he feels it, a groan escaping as he drives into her faster.
Her hands find his hair, pulling his mouth to hers.
This felt kiss desperate, teeth clashing, tongues tangling, and she even bites his lower lip, tasting the copper tang of his blood, but that sting seems to only fuels him.
He reaches between them, thumb finding her clit, pressing hard circles as he fucks into her.
The climax hits her like a wave breaking—violent, blinding as she cries out against his mouth, her body convulsing, her inner walls milking him with every spasm.
He does not stop, thrusting through her orgasm, chasing his own, and soon, his rhythm falters, his breath ragged, and with a deep, guttural groan he buries himself to the hilt, spilling again, hot and thick, into her waiting core.
Beneath him, she trembles, oversensitive and dizzy.
Slowly, he pulls out, a trickle of his seed escaping onto the tatami as he rolls onto his side, pulling her with him, her back to his chest.
His hand rests on her stomach, fingers splayed, as if already imagining what might take root there.
Her hand covers his.
The lamplight flickers.
Outside, the night is still, and silent.
