A Place to Take Root (4)
***
On one hand, it was making me so fucking horny.
Seeing Ariadd's plump pussy lips parting slightly every time the tip of my cock poked at them—it was no joke, it had me rock hard.
The way the tip of my cock, pressing against her pussy right through my pants, was getting slick with her juices? That shit was turning me on even more.
But I held back.
Waiting at home were my wives, all eager for me to dump a massive load in them today too.
So I pushed her tits away firmly and said,
"It's too stuffy."
"Huuuuh, guess I can't help it thiiiis time. I just wanted to hug you a biiiit longer, but I'll hooold back."
Ariadd finally pulled away from me after saying that.
I was a little disappointed that those massive tits were no longer pressed against me, but I figured I could make up for it later by burying my face in Yustitia's or Hoaran's—or Karmine's... nah, all of them—and motorboating away. So I held back again.
Well, even if they weren't touching me, getting this close-up view of Ariadd's truly enormous tits wasn't half bad.
Come to think of it, they really seemed even bigger now.
At first, I thought I was imagining it because it had been so long since I'd seen her, or maybe because I was this close. But no matter how I looked, it wasn't an illusion.
Her tits seemed three or four sizes bigger than the last time I'd seen them. I couldn't help wondering what the hell had happened in the meantime to make them grow like that.
No, seriously—why the fuck were they even bigger there?
I mean, it was great, don't get me wrong.
If there was some secret technique behind it, I'd love to know.
Not that I was dissatisfied with my wives' breast sizes or anything, but just in case.
"So, Hanjooo? What brings you all the way out here by yourself? Could it be... you came to see meeee?"
"Ah, well..."
Ariadd gazed down at me with eyes full of eager expectation.
I knew she was into me. Whether it was love, affection, or something else, I couldn't say—but judging by her current reaction, she was blatantly seducing me.
She was shoving those huge tits right in my face, and even though her pussy was rubbing against my cock, she just ground against it harder. There was no missing that.
And hell, I didn't hate it.
What man wouldn't like a beauty like Ariadd fawning over him?
So I was genuinely grateful for her affection, but it was impossible.
My schedule was already booked solid.
I hadn't properly discussed it with everyone yet, but they all knew.
Liliana was pregnant with my child and about to give birth soon. Then there was Eileya and Sati, who'd helped me in so many ways and provided their werewolf and satyros traits.
I hadn't said anything yet, nor had my wives, but they had to know I wouldn't just ignore those three.
After all, they were women who loved me.
The women I loved, and the women who loved me...
Ever since I'd decided to repay their feelings—ever since I'd faced my deepest fear of the future during Ammut's trial and vowed it wouldn't happen—I'd already made up my mind deep down.
Liliana, who'd gotten pregnant with my kid and whom almost no one would object to anyway, was a given as an exception.
But for Sati and Eileya, I'd need to convince everyone.
Still, I figured I could manage that much.
They'd fallen for me first, before anyone else. And with Sati, Lilith might bitch about our past, but we'd get through it somehow.
But if I added Ariadd on top of that...
Hoaran, Yustitia, Karmine, and Karura might let it slide, maybe.
Lilith? She'd probably grab me and rip me in half.
So, at least for now, no dice.
I still hadn't figured out how to handle those three, and if I tried adding Ariadd here, Lilith really would slice me in two—and I'd have no defense.
So I quickly told Ariadd why I'd come.
"I finished the sap you gave me last time. Came to get some more—mind sharing a bit?"
"Whaaaat? That's all it waaas...?"
Ariadd looked disappointed at first but soon nodded.
"Weeell, that's fiiiine. For you, Hanjo, I can share as much of my sap as you want. Lucky timing too—I was just about to ask my little sisters to milk me out anywayyy."
With that, she cupped her tits from below with her palms and lifted them up.
My eyes were inevitably drawn to the way they jiggled wildly from that simple motion. No red-blooded man could resist.
"They've gotten sooo heavy lately, it's starting to bother meeee."
Ah.
So that's why Ariadd's tits had ballooned—her sap had built up inside them.
Just like how minotaurs' breasts swell during heat from all the milk.
A little disappointing.
No special technique after all.
Well, maybe Karura could...
If Ariadd's and minotaurs' tits grew from sap or milk buildup, then if I held back on sucking Karura's nipples every day, hers might grow too.
But not sucking Karura's nipples? Impossible. So yeah, no go.
"But even sooo, I can't just giiiive it away. If I'm sharing my sap, what are you offering in return, Hanjooo?"
"How about this?"
I pulled the vial of blood I'd extracted from Ammut out of my pocket and handed it to her.
"Huuuuh?"
Ariadd tilted her head at the vial I offered.
"What's thiiiis? It can't be Lilith's blood... right?"
How the hell did she know?
I'd never told Ariadd that I'd taken Lilith's virginity, but she instantly knew this wasn't Lilith's blood. I was a bit puzzled, and she giggled as she looked at me.
"Cuz your body reeks of Lilith's scent, duuuuh."
"...Scent?"
"Uuuuhm, 'scent' might be hard to grasp? In terms you'd understand, Hanjo... it's more like 'energy.' But suuurprisingly, it's not just Lilith... I sense quite a few others I know toooo."
Hoaran and Yustitia too, she giggled.
"Thiiiis is unexpected. I figured it'd take Lilith a year to notice, and even longer for the rest... but she caught on waaay faster than I thought. And not just her—Hoaran and Yustitia too... wonder who influenced whooo...? Weeell, too bad you can't get any more of their blood."
Apparently, Hoaran and Yustitia had given Ariadd their blood before too—not just Lilith.
I had no idea what Hoaran used it for, but Yustitia probably handed it over as some 'essential material' for an experiment. Easy guess.
Anyway, Ariadd mumbled to herself before asking,
"So, what exactly did you bring me, Hanjooo?"
A vine sprouted from a flower blooming at her side, wrapped around the vial, twisted off the cap, and dipped right in.
"Hmm? Hmmm...? Huuuuh?"
"What do you think?"
"Thiiiis is pretty good too. It'll make great nourishment."
Good—Ammut's blood seemed to hit the spot for Ariadd.
Though it also proved beyond doubt that Ammut was a virgin.
How the fuck does a goddess who's lived for tens of thousands of years stay a virgin...?
"Oh, by the way... mind sharing some branches too, not just sap?"
The World Tree branches—Yustitia had mentioned them before as artifact material.
I figured I'd ask for those too while I was at it, and Ariadd stared at me with a "Hmmm?"
"If you waaant them, sure I can shaaare... but the price might be a tiiiiny bit short?"
She dangled the vial and shook it teasingly.
"Puuure, pristine blood from a virgin who's kept her purity for so looong is excellent nourishment, but there's just not enough of it."
"Ah."
Damn, that sucked.
But I couldn't resummon Ammut and ask for more blood—she was still pissed and wouldn't come even if I called.
"...Weeell, if you want it that badly, how about thiiiis?"
"In exchange for what?"
"Visitors don't come here often, so everyone's super cuuurious about youuu."
Ariadd said that, and when I looked around, there were even more fairies and green orbs of light than before.
"Visitors?"
"Nah, intruders."
"Intruders?"
"But she looks friendly with sis."
"Sis is friendly with everyone."
"Friendly with intruders too?"
"I know that human."
"You do?"
"He came once before. With the big-horned sis."
"He wasn't human then? He transformed."
"A transforming human, huh."
Whisper whisper—the fairies chattering from behind trees (or wherever they were hiding), all clustered together.
But thanks to that, I got it.
The fairies who'd called me an intruder earlier? Just ones seeing me for the first time.
From their whispers and the sheer number gathered now, it was clear the ones I'd seen before were only a fraction.
"So, play with the fairies and spirits here a biiiit, and I'll share some of my branches like you want. Oh, and there's some fresh new fruit too—I'll throw that in. Whaaat do you sayyy?"
Ariadd's fruit...
If it was that one from before...
Slurp.
Remembering the fruit I'd tasted once before, I swallowed the saliva pooling in my mouth and said,
"But playing with all of them would take forever."
"No worries aboooout that."
Ariadd flicked her hand, and the air around us—the flow of ki—shifted.
"Theeere... now the time flow here is a little out of sync with outside. Even if it takes a day here, only about an hour passes out there. Maintaining it only lasts two hours, buuut... that should be plenty, right?"
Two hours outside meant two days here.
Damn, she could even do this.
Well, two days...
"If it's that, sure."
Hey, back at the orphanage, I was the oldest bro figure. I didn't hate kids.
If they got too rowdy, I'd flick their foreheads, sure.
But overall, I liked 'em.
So playing with these fairies—who acted just like bratty kids—wasn't a big deal.
And in exchange, World Tree branches and fruit from Ariadd? Total win.
"Deal."
"Yaaay, promise made?"
"Huh...?"
Wait, it wasn't even that serious—wasn't a promise needed? Then I remembered Lilith's warning echoing in my head.
Don't make any careless contracts or promises with Ariadd.
But this didn't feel like a full-on contract or promise.
We were just agreeing on an exchange—technically a deal, sure.
"Wait, hold on..."
A vine slithered over and wrapped around my arm.
It coiled neatly around my wrist like a bracelet.
"Play till everyone's satisfied, and it'll come off on its ownnn."
Ariadd beamed at me with a bright smile.
"...And if I don't?"
"Hmmm, whaaat then?"
Still smiling, she tapped her lips with her fingertip and said,
"...No Lilith this time, so how about we pick up where we left off last tiiiime? Hanjooo...♡"
I shouted,
"Fairies! Tag—you're it! Everyone, gather up!!"
