and a new goal

The Next Morning

the soft weight of warm, devoted bodies surrounding him.

Rosaria was curled tightly against his left side, arms possessively wrapped around him. Ganyu slept on his right, the cowbell around her neck jingling faintly every time she shifted, her massive breasts pressed against his chest. Cloud Retainer lay draped elegantly across his legs, and Shenhe rested quietly near his feet, red ropes still loosely framing her body.

Four goddesses. Completely devoted. Completely his.

He smiled faintly and closed his eyes again for a moment, just enjoying the warmth.

After a slow, lazy morning buried under the four devoted women in his bed, Aether finally got up.

“I’m heading to the Jade Chamber,” he told them. “I need a ship to Inazuma. And I want to see something.”

Rosaria smirked, stretching. “You’re going to check if the rich lady has finally learned how to ask properly, aren’t you?”

Aether just smiled and left.

Ningguang was still recovering from her earlier meeting with Yelan when Aether was announced.

She had managed to put on a thin, barely-there golden robe that did almost nothing to hide her body. The moment he stepped into her private office, her thighs pressed together instinctively.

Aether walked in casually, leaning against her desk.

“I need a ship to Inazuma. The fastest one you can arrange.”

Ningguang nodded quickly. “Of course. I’ll have the finest vessel prepared within the hour. Crew, supplies, everything. You only need to—”

She stopped herself mid-sentence as her body threatened another conditioned orgasm just from the urge to start arranging things for him.

Aether watched her carefully, waiting.

Ningguang’s cheeks flushed. She knew what he was really here for. He was testing her. Seeing if she had finally learned.

The old Ningguang would have started scheming, offering more women, more resources, more influence to keep him longer.

The new Ningguang… trembled.

She stood up slowly, the thin robe slipping from her shoulders until she was completely naked again. Then she walked around the desk and dropped to her knees in front of him without a word.

Her golden eyes looked up at him, full of desperate, conditioned need.

“…Please,” she whispered, voice soft and completely honest for once. “I want your cock. Not as a reward. Not as part of a deal. Just… please fuck me. Use me. I need it.”

The proud Tianquan of Liyue was finally asking directly.

No schemes. No political games. No carefully worded offers.

Just a broken, beautiful woman on her knees, begging for his cock.

Aether smiled down at her.

“Good girl.”

Ningguang let out a shaky, relieved moan at the praise, already spreading her thighs in anticipation.

Aether decided to give Ningguang something thorough to remember him by.

He spent the next several hours taking his time with her.

No rushing. No mercy.

He laid her out on her expensive desk and methodically drew every possible kind of pleasure out of her already hypersensitive, conditioned body. Slow, deep thrusts that made her cry. Rough, pounding ones that made her scream. Soft, teasing ones that left her sobbing and begging. He made her cum from her clit, from her G-spot, from pure mental stimulation, from being degraded, from being praised.

Every time she started to recover even a little, he pushed her over the edge again.

And then her own mind betrayed her.

While he was buried deep inside her, fucking her through yet another orgasm, Ningguang’s thoughts drifted — just for a second — to the plan she had already secretly formed:

I’ll have Beidou take him to Inazuma… and make sure she ends up on his cock too…

“——!!!”

A violent, forced climax slammed into her without warning. Her eyes rolled back so hard she nearly blacked out. Her pussy clamped down like a vice as she squirted all over his cock and the desk.

Aether chuckled, slowing his thrusts just enough to keep her conscious.

“Already scheming again, huh?”

Ningguang could only sob and nod weakly as another aftershock made her twitch.

He kept going.

A few minutes later, while he had her bent over the balcony railing of the Jade Chamber (high enough that half the harbor could theoretically see if they looked up), her mind slipped again:

Beidou will be perfect… strong, adventurous, she’ll keep him entertained…

“Haaahhnnn—!!”

Another mind-breaking orgasm ripped through her. Her legs gave out completely. Only Aether’s grip on her hips kept her from collapsing as she came so hard her vision went white.

He whispered against her ear, still thrusting steadily:

“You’re never going to stop trying to arrange women for me, are you?”

Ningguang shook her head desperately between moans, tears of overwhelming pleasure streaming down her face.

“I… I can’t help it— ahhn—!! I just want you to be happy—!!”

Aether spent the rest of the afternoon thoroughly imprinting himself on her body and mind. By the time he finally filled her womb with one last massive creampie and let her collapse onto the floor, Ningguang was a complete wreck.

She lay there twitching, drooling, belly swollen, pussy gaping and overflowing, completely unable to form coherent thoughts.

Every time her mind even started to form a new scheme involving Beidou or anyone else, another weak aftershock made her whimper and tremble.

Aether cleaned himself up, adjusted his clothes, and looked down at the thoroughly ruined Tianquan.

“Ship will be ready soon, right?”

Ningguang could only nod weakly, still gasping on the floor.

He smiled.

“Good. Rest up. I’ll be leaving for Inazuma soon.”

Ningguang watched him leave through half-lidded, glassy eyes, already missing him… and already knowing her body would punish her every time she tried to “help” him from afar.
