For Lucifer was the favorite son of Our Lord, who was given the task of guarding the Kingdom of the Dead. When he fell for a human woman, a great sin for one of the Angels, he was cast out of Heaven. His curse became to judge the souls of mortals like Hades in the mythologies, and to rule what became known as the Underworld or the Kingdom of Hell.

Everyone knows a version of this story.

But what many don't know is the tale of Lucifer's child, a Nephilim, deemed an abomination among the Angels.

~ The Book of Aquila

Being the offspring of the most famous of the fallen angels was never something you took pride in. Why would you? You were an outcast everywhere you went as half human and half angel. A Nephilim, a title spoken with indignation and suspicion.

Now, as Lucifer's only child and your father missing, they call you the Regent of Hell, fighting to keep your throne from usurpers who could end up destroying your world and the mortal world alike.

Create your own half-angel MC and rule over Hell

Customize everything about your Regent, including your wings if you have any

Rule as a good monarch or an evil tyrant

Meet key figures in the Old Tales and rewrite everything mythology has taught you

Find love and choose a consort, or rule alone

Stop a coup, or fall from grace like your father before you

Michael (LI) - The leader of the highest order of angels and one of the most beautiful of them all. The stories could not be more wrong about him; he is brash, reckless, and possesses a charisma that draws you in for reasons you can't describe.

Asha di Aquila (LI) - A poet you met one day on earth who seems to have taken an interest in you. You later find out that she too is the offspring of a fallen angel, but one raised among humans.

Liberta Lucia (LI) - A mortal woman who somehow ends up trapped in your world through magic gone awry. She is kind enough, you suppose, but you cannot discern her intentions and it makes you weary.

Daedalion (LI) - The adopted son of Lord Mastema is nothing like his parent, and some suggest he has a better claim to the Regency than you. Once upon an age, you were close, but something has changed in the way he looks at you since you became Regent...

Prince Ceyx (LI) - Your step-brother covets your throne and your new powers, but would never openly declare war against you. His mother Queen Lilith, on the other hand, would do anything to give her son what she believes he deserves.

Lucifer - Your absent father and the reigning King of Hell until recently when he left for the mortal realm. As his eldest child, though born to a human mother, he leaves the throne to you, but at what cost?

Lord Mastema - Your father's twin is known by many names. They are the embodiment of chaos who originally tempted Eve with the Apple. Humans call them the Devil and some say they are Lucifer's logical successor.

Dowager Queen Aurora - The mother of Lucifer and Mastema and the origin of the family name of Morningstar. Some say she is now nothing more than an old woman who lost her wings centuries ago, but she still holds great powers you will need in the days to come.

DEMO TBD

Quick question how much effort the gods would put into making up all the time they lost with MC

Thank you for your ask. ♥️

I'd say they'd all put in a lot of effort, but they would do so in different ways. Aurora, Alula, Cielo, and Soleil may be a bit overbearing at certain times, as they feel terrible about leaving MC alone for so long, MC would have to set clear boundaries if they were uncomfortable with the overprotectiveness. Delano, Aquila, Ida, Sirius, Anatole, and Celeste would also put in a lot of effort, but they'd definitely be much calmer about it. They'd take small steps with MC, to learn what they're comfortable with and what they're interested in so they can become closer with their child. As for Donati... While he does care about MC's interests, he can be overbearing about it, but it's only because he wants his children to succeed in whatever they're interested in. MC may have to tell him to back off a few times.

Mahina, however, would not put in the effort. If MC wants a close relationship with her, they'll have to put in the effort, as Mahina sees no reason to be close with her children, especially if they're not even from one of the galaxies she rules over.

#aquarii #asks #gods #i really made mahina a bitch huh #will she change and grow as a person?#i guess we'll see

How about one where the MC goes to one of the RO's and says "Did you know that a shrimp fried this rice? I didn't know they could do that" and they realize that the MC is dead serious about that

"Master. Did you know that this plate of rice," You say, gesturing to the plate of golden-fried rice with bits of shrimp scattered on the top. "Was fried by a shrimp?" Aquila stares at you. "...There is no fucking way a shrimp fried this rice." Two minutes later... The both of you stare at the incredibly small shrimp, lifting a pan with golden-brown rice and flipping it into the air, salt magically floating into the air and sprinkling onto the rice. "...Well, shit." Aquila says, crossing her arms.

I fell for Marc Antony the moment he swaggers into the room. I knew he was who wI would be romancing.

Like Diavolos, Antony’s writing is so good and so much is established in just a few scenes. That first meeting with Antony sets the tone for his character and the relationship between him and MC.

Antony is shrewd and observant. It is one of his most important character traits.

From his first assessment that MC is Gallic to his picking up on her interest in Legate Aquila and realizing who exactly she is, plus the way he is assessing the other men at the party and evaluating their reaction to his news. In this first scene, we get a pretty good assessment of who Antony is.

We also establish the dynamic between him and the MC.

I love the ‘make you beg’ option and Antony’s response. But I also love how quickly his demeanour changes and how he wants her not to play games with him, because that is also a huge part of their dynamic. It is very much a fight for dominance and it is done so well.

What I love about Antony is that he is very clearly not the good guy, but he is interesting and well written and he challenges the MC in a way few LIs get to.

My Portia is an ambitious woman who vowed to not only survive Rome but to thrive. She is going to be the most popular and successful courtesan, she is going to be celebrated by everyone who once jeered at her and this makes her the perfect match for Antony.

Part 2 of Live session of Question Answer by Writer Yim.

I am uploading the part 2 of Live Session Of Hell and High water.

Link for part 1-https://www.tumblr.com/blog/view/romance-club-daily/688713254247317504?source=share

Will sharing what Todd wrote (keeping to self or reading aloud) make a difference?

Yes, the rumor will make a difference.

What is Todd favorite recipe to bake?

Gingersnap cookies

Will we see parents of chand and mc in future?

Most likely

Is that broken case of palladia vials play vital role in future story??(like one of the reason for disaster)

The broken case of Palladia definitely has an impact, but the Aquila's situation is more of a problem overall.

Will we be able to match make characters in story?

Most likely

Has the disaster started or its about to start?

The disaster has started

If not for boat career what would have mc choose as her career?

She probably would have been a slightly disgruntled woodworker :D

I have noticed a scar or burn skin tissues on main character's neck side area..? Is she designed that way or their is some back story for mc's scar near neck area??

There's a backstory, but like many cool scars, it's not anything earth-shattering.

Is Phoebe a love interest? I really liked what we saw of her so far so I am hoping she might be!

Yes, she is

What exactly happened in the world? I am not sure I understand what was the "disaster" that changed the planet.

This is a big, complicated thing. There wasn't any one thing, but it was a combination of war, disease, the effects of climate change, and the most unlikely one, the shifting of the earth's magnetic poles leading to more or less a collapse of satellite based technologies. For example, Alaska isn't a state anymore. Most of the global superpowers broke apart as everything deteriorated.

Will we be able to assemble crew in future or ask characters to join the boat crew?

I cannot answer this question right now.

will we see Krissa again, and will she have a role in the plot?

We may see Krissa again, but that depends on how long the story runs, and I know in my mind what role she would likely play. I don't think it's a huge one, but I do feel that every character plays some important role. (Even Ross 😅)

Chand, I love him as friend, so I was wondering: will we have the chance to pair him up with someone? My heart goes out for him and his endless quest in finding love! He deserves happiness too after all .

I have someone in mind as a potential matchmaking option for Chand. I don't know if it will actually play out at this time.

Apart from obvious “we and our progeny will all die if this issue will not be addressed soon” what was inspiration behind choosing climate change as a topic? Why post-apocalyptic setting?

There are a few reasons for this. I think that the way the world is changing is something that affects all of us, but a lot of us have a lifestyle that allows us to look away. It's a difficult topic and honestly, the research I did for this story has been heartbreaking at times. I think there's a tendency to look at these huge issues and feel that they're just too big to think about or not our problem. So, in one regard, I wanted to not just ignore the problem but also not be completely doom and gloom about it. I do think that no matter what happens, people will continue to find ways to adapt to and live on our planet. Nature and animals are also near and dear to my heart and a huge source of inspiration for me. The post-apocalyptic setting was also, in part, to make sailing relevant in a futuristic setting, and it kind of fit naturally with the collapse of infrastructure that supports most of our modern transportation and supply chains.

This book has an incredibly diverse cast of main and side characters. Did you base any of them on people you know?

Not specifically.I certainly looked at people that often weren't represented in media and the stories and experiences they had, and took that into consideration when creating the cast. Of course, there are so many underrepresented people that I feel like I only put a drop in the ocean here.

Any chance Pramila is an LI? May be not a full branch? We're in love with her character design.

She is not a romanceable character, unfortunately. I agree, the artists did a great job with her.

From which character chand ,sunny was inspired?

No characters in particular, actually. I started more with an idea of the role I wanted them to play in the story.

Will be able to adopt baby orca?

Sort of? As much as you can adopt a wild orca.

Will chand and pramila converse in Hindi?

Pramila is actually not Indian. Her parents named all their children after famous historical figures. She does know some hindi though.

random specific headcanons i have about choices characters

disclaimer: don’t take this seriously <3

• zeph can burp on command. shreya knows seven different languages and will teach you how to swear in them. beckett knows five and will not teach you shit. atlas finds doing laundry really therapeutic and will do it late at night while everyone is asleep. griffin had a crush on someone once and decided to choreograph a whole dance routine to ask them out but the day before he were supposed to do it, they moved away. he thanks the higher powers every night. aster is really bad at handling kids, if a kid comes in the store she goes in the back. she also will blend into foliage purely to hide from people.

• maxwell has almost gone to jail, multiple times. his crimes range from tax evasion to gbh to eating an apple off of his cranky old neighbour’s property. his brother covered for him. liam was the president at his alma mater, even though he didn’t run. people just found him hot. hana is a hit with old ladies, they adore her. they were all angling to set her up with their sons and when she said she was lesbian, they immediately offered up their daughters and nieces. drake once got so drunk he called liam ‘mommy’ and when liam awkwardly offered to pay for his therapy in response, drake passed out.

• cassius had a wife at one point, she left him because he was ‘too boring’. sabina was once gifted a lion cub and when it bit aquila, she would reward it in treats. aquila eventually threw it out though :(. syphax is the youngest child and he has mostly older sisters. marc antony thinks he has a god complex, he does not. he has a lot of other issues though.

• eiko is obsessed with musicals and she makes mc do duets with her. it’s a problem at this point. in the future after moty, levi has multiple a-lister best friends, when he shows them to mc, he thinks its totally normal. mc will wake up to ryan reynolds walking in the hallways after leaving levi’s. thomas fainted when luz was born.

• speaking of musicals, caleb is obsessed with hamilton and glee. he hangs a poster of them both in his locker. michael secretly enjoys listening to beyoncé and lady gaga, but he’ll play nothing but indie music, that has less than 1k streams, around his friends. emma had a crush on big bird when she was little, no explanation. aiden adores just dance and that will be the secret he takes to his grave. he thinks hes being slick but his parents know. maria cannot spell pharaoh, and feels like it’s too late to learn how.

• bryce cannot take a bad picture, and when jackie tried to take one of him, it ended up so pretty it was put on multiple pinterest boards. he still brags about it. jackie has a strong southern accent and her voice is slightly deep, kinda like beyoncé’s. sienna had three boyfriends at once during high school, they never knew about e/o but she got so stressed out about it that she ended it with all of them. raf was average in middle school but suddenly had a glow up before high school. he looked so different that people just flat out refused to believe it was him.

pictured here is a comment i got on a post i made on one of my sideblogs. now this actually kinda motivated me to go and look into something for no other reason than “yeah sure why the hell not.”

and thus i went down a mini rabbit hole.

this is referring to a post about smt 4, but i think they just mistyped smtv instead of iv—

the picture in question shown is this concept art for blasted tokyo:

now this pic mirrors that of where jonathan is in all the little dream/vision/whatever you wanna call them sequences prior to choosing a route. however…

the head of what i believe is supposed to be the statue of aquila or some other structure is different. blasted tokyo is full of rubble on the surface but none match the head from what i can remember (i may be wrong). even then, the guy pictured isn’t jonathan. next thing to question is “what if it’s jonathan’s beta design?” or if any other art for blasted tokyo matched the mystery man.

to the left is beta jonathan and to the right ends up being for the remaining underground districts and for pluto castle (home of the best boss in the game) + weird shadowy figures. again nothing matches up. there’s a really cool exterior shot that i don’t think is ever in the game tho. closest other character i could think of is kiyoharu.

originally though he was intended to wear the same outfit everyone else does (which contextually makes more sense and is something they should’ve stuck with).

so who is this guy? the answer is god knows. best guess i have at this point is an original design for either 1. a law hero similar to 1 and 2, since 4 was a bit back to basics compared to the previous two mainline entries or 2. one of the original concept designs for flynn/the mc. in a lot of the concept artwork displaying what represented the player, they mostly never resemble flynn. some end up just being random designs meant for npcs, armor, or were scraped concepts altogether. a good portion of them are just area concepts. 4 has a ton of world building and i would argue is more based in that than any of the other games.

in just the concepts for tokyo alone that’s the case. mikado concept art isn’t any different.

a lot of background concept art (such as for the weapons dealer, exterior shots of a few dungeons, rooms with npcs in them, etc) end up getting used for locations you can’t walk around in, since the free roam stuff is 3d modeled save for a couple assets. there’s no rough sketches available for most of the areas even in the art book, and that can definitely be the case for character concepts too. sometimes it’s easy to forget that an entire team works on art and not just a couple people, especially in 4’s case given how there’s a few guest artists. there are likely many concepts and pieces of art that have never been seen or are completely lost. any unnamed unknown character shown in these bits of art were likely meant to exist at some point and yet never did.

though gonna be honest this was just the perfect excuse to go looking through concept art again. (quick shoutout to veskscans since she’s uploaded scans of 4’s art book to a google drive (which is linked on her blog). many of the area concept artwork and early character designs are easy to find but smaller scale scenery not so much. she’s a goddamn hero.)

Request: "Stay." Sabina x MC

Pairing: Sabina x MC

Prompt: “Stay.”

Word Count: 2300+

Summary: Sabina and Lapis sneak out into the night, stealing Sabina away from Legate Aquila. In the safety and privacy of Lapis’ scholar, the pair talk about their future and whether or not they can contain their desire to be with one another.

A/N: Suggestive/NSFW content warning! If you do not wish to read and/or are not above the age of 18, please do not read this fic! I do have other SFW Sabina fics in my masterlist if you’d prefer to read that! Also, my requests are open, here are the rules and the prompts!

Thank you for reading! I hope you like it!! 🫶🏻🩷

~~~~~~~~~

The night air feels clean in their lungs, two women strolling the streets of Rome in the darkness spare only for the candle light attached to the shorter woman’s hip. The flames flicker with the breeze of the night as it lights their way through the dusty patches of earth and soil beneath their feet. One running from her problems and the other running to fix the other’s problems. There’s a somber silence between the two who walk side by side, pinky finger looped around pinky finger.

Sabina’s free hand drags her nails down the side of her gown, blue fabric snagging on chipped nails, hinted with hues of berries to add color and elegance to her fingers that her husband adored, forcing her to fit his idea of beauty. She feels frightened denying her husband in this manner to flee with Lapis, her teeth digging into her lips nearly drawing blood. But the thrill of being with Lapis remains stronger than any fear in her chest.

Her eyes find Lapis’ lips in the flickering light, stopping herself from staring. She couldn’t stop thinking about the feeling of lips on her neck, kissing and nipping at her skin. The way she moaned, the way her knees gave out, the way she’s never felt such desire. She wanted to feel the sensations of being loved and adorned by a woman with the facets to do so. She’s known since she was young she was different, the attention of men never interested her - but that of her childhood friend that made her stomach blossom with butterflies. She remembers her younger self, free without a care in the world for the few hours she escaped with her best friend to explore the world hand in hand.

Her first girlfriend, when she thinks about it. She still loves her dearly, but the two separated by a forced marriage and her friend finding her own partner, she longs for parents that loved and supported her like her friend’s family has. She sighs to herself drawing herself back to the present, back to her future with Lapis. The idea of her second girlfriend, her soulmate essentially whisking her away in the dead of night made her feel so safe and protected. Even the simplest of gestures brought butterflies to her stomach and made her flush.

On the other hand, Lapis’ chest bursts full with excitement, she was proud of herself for helping break Sabina out of the nightmare of her home. If you could even call it a home, she thinks to herself, one isn’t supposed to be scared of their husbands, she thinks that word even bitterly, the thought of a woman of Sabina’s stature being with a man of the likes of him. It makes Lapis sick to her stomach, that man didn’t deserve to call Sabina her wife, let alone be able to even look or touch her. She would gouge his eyes out herself given the chance - no, when she gets the chance she will.

But more so, given the chance to love Sabina the way she deserves is all that Lapis is concerned with. To wake up beside her every morning, to pepper the curve of her breasts with tender loving kisses, to make her breakfast, to ease the fears that plague her mind, and to help her grow into the strong and independent woman she knows Sabina can be, it fills her with pride and joy. She never thought herself good enough to be with a woman as gracious and divine as Sabina, who would accept her even with her being a consort of the King and Queen of Rome. A woman that would love her when she fills the heads of royals with lies, that would protect her and think just as highly of her knowing the life she’s lived and the bridges she’s burned to get there. She knew from the moment she met Sabina with the caring smile on her face and the curls that fell perfectly into her face, she was the woman she spent her whole life waiting for.

Lapis pulls Sabina to a stop, turning to look into her inviting eyes, their hands still formed as one as a smile pulls at Lapis’ lips seeing the way Sabina refuses to let go of her hand. She leans in close, her breath warm and comforting on Sabina’s skin in the light breeze of the night.

“We are nearly there, my love.” her voice nearly purring.

Bashfully, Sabina ducks her head down with a soft smile, “I can’t believe we’ve done this, Lapis. Legate Aquila would have us beheaded if he knew.”

It comes across as a joke, but they both knew deep down Sabina meant every word she spoke.

“Come now,” Lapis whispers, “I wouldn’t dare let him consider harming you.”

Her fingers pulling from Sabina’s grasp running her hands down Sabina’s gown and furthermore her body. Her fingers trailing as light as feathers, making the married woman blush deeply. Lapis bunkers down with her movements, her breath is warm dragging along the fabric of Sabina’s gown, before coming face to face with the lantern on her hips. She leans in close, blowing out the light that guided them to their freedom, sharing one last look in the dark.

Her fingers still deep on Sabina’s hips, letting her touch trace further up her body. Her fingers dance across the fabric up to her bosom, she lets said fingers briefly travel over the expanse of her breasts before coming to rest back on her shoulders. She delights in the way Sabina gasps with each movement, trying her best to hide her smirk in the dark of the night.

“Stay silent, move with the shadows, and breath still, my love.”

She leads Sabina down the pathway leading to her own home, quietly the two of them blend into the shadows with no words. Following the pathway to the scholar, the two sneak inside of the building. Bated breaths as they creep across the house to her room at the back of the structure. Her grip tight on Sabina’s hands as the pair find themselves concealed behind doors, evading any suspicion from prying eyes that would like to see them fail. Xanthe to be more precise, her calculated actions find Lapis moving cautiously in her own home, however she knows how to play to her strengths and keep herself protected from those who would harm her relationship with Sabina.

She rests Sabina onto her bed, letting her fingers find purchase on her lover’s hips, fingers nimbly undoing knots that hold the lantern against her figure. She lets one hand place the lantern on the floor, striking a match against the floor bringing it to the candle to illuminate the world around them. Shadows flicker about their faces, allowing them both to see the glances they spare for one another. Fondness on each of their faces as they breathe a breath of relief, finally being able to spare a moment's breath to just appreciate the feeling of being together.

Lapis finds herself sprawling into the bed beside Sabina, her fingers still traced along the latter’s hips. Drawing shapes into the aquamarine fabric of her gown the both of them staring into one another’s eyes, a blush flushing through Sabina’s cheeks as she draws in a deep breath feeling nervous all of a sudden.

Sabina often pictured herself in this position, face to face with Lapis’ sharing a warm breath between each other. Lips on her skin and hands tracing over her firm body, silky smooth skin that yearns for her soft touch. She draws Lapis closer and they enjoy the feeling of being lost in one another’s bodies. Though, she never thought it to be feasible in her entire life.

“May I?” Lapis whispers against Sabina’s skin, her hands now finding purchase on the string that holds Sabina’s dress to her body.

“You may.” Sabina replies quietly, words that would be lost in the air if not for the silence around them.

Lapis pulls at the string, freeing her lover of the fabric that constrains her. Fingertips draw down warm skin pushing down fabric letting the dress find itself discarded on the ground around them. She swallows nervously as Lapis’ touch is firm against her, fingertips drawing up her thighs stopping to adjust the straps of her undergarments. Sabina moans breathlessly feeling overwhelmed by the touch, it feels right but wrong.

“Are you alright?” Lapis whispers against her ear.

Clearing her throat, “Quite. I’m sorry Lapis. I’m not used to this. Being touched so… lovingly.”

“It’s the only way you should have ever been touched, my love.”

Sabina’s breath catches in her throat as warm hands trail up her body from her thighs, to her stomach. Roaming the expanses of her body, her fingers just barely finding themselves brushing against her bosom. Sabina brings her hands to Lapis stilling her movements; her touch warm and inviting despite stopping her from touching her intimate parts.

“I..I want this very much Lapis,” she breathes heavily, “I want you. But I shouldn’t. I should return to Legate Aquila before he finds out I’ve left. I fear what he should do to you, should he learn of my betrayal.”

Lapis laughs in response unconcerned with Legate Aquila, shaking her head, “I dare him to even attempt to lay a finger on you. I will draw a blade before he can even take a handful of any part of you. Tear his hand off your body - no, cut his hand off for even daring to consider doing anything to harm you or I.”

“Lapis.” She blushes, “I wish I could stay with you forever. I don’t doubt your prowess, but I don’t doubt his strength either. You’d be a fool to underestimate him, I’ve seen him take down men twice his size with ease while drunk!”

“I do doubt him nonetheless, Sabina. He is a conniving pest, he doesn’t deserve to breathe the same air that you and I do. The likes of him should have been swiftly dealt with earlier in his life to save the lot of us the embarrassment of knowing him.” Lapis chuckles, “I want you as you want me, is that not enough for you, beloved?”

“Yes, for me a thousand times yes. But to see you hurt, would bare none of this worth the... effort. I would gladly waste away a prisoner of his than to see anything become of you. You wage a war with half of Rome, I fear what that might mean for you and your safety.” Sabina sighs sadly, she casts her eyes downward unable to meet Lapis’ gaze.

Her body is warm against her own as the pair sit in silence contemplating all of the statements made in the mere moments ago. Each wanting the same, knowing the consequences might be fatal, would all be made worth it for even a night of loving one another. Lapis would gladly die for her love for Sabina, and she knew Sabina to feel the entire same towards her. She hesitates to speak for a moment, she can’t quite figure out how to ease Sabina’s worries.

“Lapis, I’m sorry-”

“Hush,” Lapis whispers, “Stay.”

“But…”

“You will never fear another thing with me by your side, my love. He can’t stop me. I am a woman with the eyes and heart for you alone, I will slay anyone in our way. My love for you knows no bounds and it will give me the strength to see everyday and every fight knowing once it is done, you will be in my arms for the rest of our existence. Now hush.” Lapis reassures, “Tonight, tonight we forget the pain, we forget Legate, we forget the world, and we stay together. Think only of me and my touch.”

Sabina hesitates only a moment, their eyes pouring long into one another. They hold their breaths anticipating the next words to leave Sabina’s loving lips, the way her eyes look longingly into thought pondering the words that left Lapis’ mouth. Sabina’s face is gorgeously golden with the flames of the lit candle, her face contorts in worry, fear of not having the strength to pick the one she loves over the fear of repercussions of doing so. She does not for a second truly doubt Lapis’ skills, she’s seen her with a blade and the way she whisks her around as though she weighs nothing.

Sabina cannot fight off her desire, Lapis’ hands that cup Sabina’s own, she brings them to her breasts, a blush decorating her cheeks along with the warm glow of the candle.

“Tonight and every night forward, I am yours alone Lapis.” She hums innocently, letting Lapis take control once more. Her eyes sliding shut, as she enjoys the feeling of being explored with such care and passion. The way her legs tangled together with pleasure as tongue meets skin, her collarbone peppered with an array of kisses that made her body shake with anticipation. The first time in years she feels safe to be in someone's arms. The lips that find purchase on her skin thrill her instead of making her sink away, her body reacting stronger than she ever realized as she cries out as hands that toy and dance deliciously over her breast, as it's replaced with a mouth that nips playfully at her nipple driving her insane.

She didn’t realize when her bra was taken off, only delighting in the pleasure of feeling loved by Lapis. Her toes curling as kisses dance down her body, following the trial of her stomach to her hips. Pulling with her teeth at the fabric of her panties, Lapis brings her hands to the fabric twisting it around her fingers looking at Sabina for consent.

“Will you stay with me forever and always be mine? May I continue with your consent? May I love you forever?”

“You may. I’ll stay with you forever Lapis.” is that the last words that leave her lips in a whisper, her voice taken from her and replaced with whimpering moans as hands traverse her curves and tongues explore the places she’s wanted Lapis to love and appreciate for the rest of her life.
