A/N: In which things between Oren and Sophia finally boil over in all the best ways~

  -x-X-x-

  "And there we… go."

  Oren watches with a slight smile on his face as Sophia peels away the st of the bandages she'd insisted he wear wrapped around his chest all this time. The truth was, he hadn't really needed the bandages for days at this point. He'd still been healing, but it'd mostly been internal, with both the entrance and exit wounds from the Celestial Dagger having healed over fairly early on in his convalescence.

  Still, he'd been happy to let Sophia continue bandaging his blemish-free chest until he was finally feeling one hundred percent again because it not only gave her something to do but also gave her some amount of satisfaction and joy… two things that had been missing from both their lives for a while now.

  The hurricane still rages outside of the hideaway, meaning Tyranos hasn't won yet, but they've been utterly stymied on how exactly they're going to get themselves back into the fight. If there was one thing Tyranos' betrayal had taught them, it was just how out of their league they were.

  Of course, coming up with a back up pn had also taken something of a back seat to the… other things they'd been doing since Oren had kissed Sophia back the other day. Lots of kissing, some heavy petting, and quite a bit of cuddling had taken pce in the st couple of days.

  The only reason they hadn't gone further yet was because Sophia was terrified of hurting him. Still, Oren had made it clear that he wouldn't be sleeping alone in her bed any longer.

  Either she was taking the bed and he was taking a chair, or they were both going to wind up on the floor or sleeping in chairs. Or… well, in the end he'd gotten what he wanted as they 'compromised' by just sharing the bed like they should have been doing in the first pce.

  Oren hadn't realized just how touch deprived he truly was until he woke up with Sophia in his arms that first morning. Ever since, it had been… well, it had been eye opening in a way. It had also been quite enjoyable.

  Now though, as Sophia runs her fingers along his bared chest, Oren can tell that things might just be about to escate. The Goddess of Misfortune and Folly is biting her lower lip and blushing slightly even as she pretends she's just 'checking him over' instead of very obviously checking him out.

  Grinning wryly, Oren finally breaks the silence.

  "See something you like, Goddess?"

  Jolting out of her reverie, Sophia looks up at his grinning face and scowls a little bit, lightly smacking his chest.

  "D-Don't tease me, you jerk. I was just… making sure."

  Uh huh. Sure she was. Still, Oren isn't going to push Sophia. When she doesn't go in for a kiss or anything else and instead climbs back off of the bed, he doesn't let his disappointment at her departure show. He-

  Oren's mind bluescreens as Sophia, having turned away from him, reaches up and slips her dress down off of her shoulders. Before he can blink let alone react, the dress cascades down Sophia's body like its become liquid, exposing her back profile.

  His mouth goes dry as he stares long and hard at Sophia's naked flesh. She's a goddess so it's not like she's anything but perfect, of course. From the slope of her back to the soft curve of her backside. From her thin waist to her wide hips.

  Looking back over her shoulder at him, Sophia's face is half-smirk, half-apprehension as she bites her lower lip.

  "S-See something you like, Otherworlder?"

  … Heh. Nine out of ten comeback, with one point taken off for the stutter. Still, Oren just nods slowly, letting a wide smile spread across his own face.

  "Yes Goddess. I like what I'm seeing very much."

  Sophia's blush intensifies and she squirms in pce for a moment.

  "Pervert… you're supposed to be struck dumb by my beauty, not capable of coherent sentences!"

  Letting out a ugh at her words, Oren shrugs.

  "Must be my Otherworlder constitution letting me stay on task."

  Rising from the bed, he approaches slowly. Sophia tenses up but doesn't try to move away, even when he's right behind her. Hesitantly, almost reverently, Oren reaches up and runs his hands down her arms, causing her to gasp as he feels goosebumps all along her flesh.

  She leans back into his chest without hesitation, her derriere pressing into him in a way that only makes Oren's current struggle all the harder. But even then it's a good struggle. The best kind of struggle, really.

  Ignoring the straining in his pants with a crity of mind that surprises even him, Oren takes his time to smell the roses so to speak. Or rather, the Otherworlder leans in and buries his nose in the crook of Sophia's neck, breathing her scent in deeply.

  The goddess gasps in response, tilting her head to the side to provide more access to her neck. Seeing that, Oren does what any man would do and begins to suckle at the supple flesh he finds there. This causes a soft moan to leave Sophia's lips. At the same time, Oren's hands have descended to the goddess' hips and anchored there… only for her own hands to reach down and take hold of his.

  "Touch me, Oren. Please… I want you to touch me."

  Her meaning couldn't be clearer when she pulls his hands up directly to her breasts. Reaching around her from both sides, hugging her back against his chest, Oren finds himself cupping the beautiful goddess' chest with his hands. He's just as reverent here as he was before though. His fingers glide over Sophia's bust, not squeezing or molding, but cupping and holding. His thumbs don't flick at her nipples, but instead brush over them, feeling how quickly they're hardening with every pass.

  Sophia continues to moan, even as Oren continues to suck at her neck. Her hands move back behind her as he touches her, grasping at his body, but while she finds an easy grip in his pants, it quickly becomes apparent that she doesn't approve of the garment being in her way.

  Finally, the goddess pulls out of his grasp and suddenly turns around. Oren barely has a moment to look upon her full naked glory for a moment before she's giving him orders.

  "You're overdressed, Oren. Why am I the only one baring all?"

  Grinning crookedly, Oren inclines his head.

  "Of course, Goddess. As you wish."

  Pulling off his pants, he frees his straining erection from its confines at long st. His shaft pops right up, standing at attention as Sophia stares at it unabashedly… even hungrily one might say. In turn, Oren stares at her right back. Her breasts are of course perfectly shaped, just the right size and each capped with a pink, hard nipple that Oren has the sudden urge to suckle and nibble at with his mouth.

  Meanwhile, down between the cleft of her thighs is her sex, glistening in the artificial light of the refuge, her arousal on full dispy.

  Sophia hesitates for a moment more before moving forward. She reaches up and pces one hand on Oren's cheek… and the other on his member. Her fingers curl around his girth while her soft palm glides up and down the length in a way that makes Oren's breath hitch.

  His own hands move to her body in turn, starting on her hips… but it's not long before he's reaching up again with one, fondling and softly squeezing one of her breasts. On Sophia's neck, Oren can already see a spot forming from where he'd sucked long enough to leave a mark.

  He's tempted to go right back there just from the front this time and keep sucking… but her full lips are right in front of his face now and Oren can't resist them. Especially not when they're partially parted so cutely, as though Sophia wants to say something but has not a clue of what it should be.

  Leaning in, Oren captures Sophia's lips in his own, kissing her deeply. As she returns the favor, he walks them back towards the bed, tugging her along until she follows. And then he turns them around so he can y her on her back, all the while continuing to kiss her.

  He can hardly believe he's gotten so lucky. He can hardly believe Sophia wants to be with someone as unworthy as him. But if he can give her even one iota of happiness in this unforgiving world… than damn it, he owes it to her to try.

  -x-X-x-

  Sophia can hardly believe this is happening, especially after how she's treated Oren in the past. She doesn't deserve him. And he deserves better than her. But… they're all each other has at this point. Maybe it's selfish, but Sophia can't bring herself to stop.

  Neither can Oren, to be fair. As he climbs atop her on the bed, she's happy to spread her legs for him. Her hand wrapped around his throbbing shaft pulls it down towards her slit where the wetness has reached the point of absurdity. That's good though, because he's rger than she thought he would be.

  It wasn't as though this was Sophia's first time or anything. She was only a few centuries old, but she'd experimented with both men and women. Most of the time, the women were far more attentive than the men in her experience.

  Not with Oren though. Any other man would have already buried himself inside of her. They wouldn't have bothered with anything like sucking at her neck or toying with her breasts. If they had, it would have been love bites and a mauling for her chest.

  Oren, despite all of the power lurking in his Otherworlder frame, is exceedingly gentle with her. He only enters her now that she's urging him to and has guided him directly to her entrance. A soft exhale slips and slides against his lips while they continue kissing, even as more and more of him disappears into her.

  Letting go of his length, Sophia instead reaches up and loops her arms around Oren's neck. She cards one hand through his hair, pulling him in for an even deeper kiss. His own hands also cannot stay where they are, instead pnting on either side of her body as he begins to slowly slide in and out of her. His strokes are deep and impactful but he's taking his time even now.

  The pleasure builds in her core, the more they shift and gyrate against one another. Her body was already feeling hot before, but now it's like she's burning up as he thrusts in and out. Her inner walls clench and squeeze along his length of their own accord while all Sophia can do is arch her back and moan into his mouth.

  It's more than she deserves, but she can't help holding onto Oren for dear life all the same. As she rides out wave after wave of pleasure, she selfishly clings to him with all her might, afraid that any moment he'll realize she's not worthy of him and leave her.

  That doesn't happen though. They continue kissing even as the satisfaction builds within Sophia again and again, crashing over the edge over and over. It's a rapturous sensation, to be so thoroughly filled. In that moment, she and Oren are one. In that moment, the rest of the universe just… falls away.

  As, all good things eventually come to a close. Sophia loses track of how many times Oren brings her crashing over the edge before she finally returns the favor. Their lips come apart as Oren arches his back in turn and lets out a small gasp… and then she feels it, him releasing inside of her.

  The sensation of him filling her sends Sophia over the edge one more time as well and together the two of them ride out the bliss of the moment together before ultimately having to come crashing back down to reality.

  A shuddering breath leaves Sophia's lips as she looks into Oren's eyes. They hold one another, both refusing to fully pull away as they cuddle there in bed, still connected to each other both physically and emotionally.

  In that moment, as they y there cuddling, Sophia finds her resolve. Oren's faith in her… it feels mispced even now. He expects her to keep fighting, but she's not been sure she can after everything.

  And yet… so long as he believes in her, Sophia can't bring herself to let him down. Not again. She'll do whatever it takes to justify his faith. And she'll do whatever it takes to stop her uncle. Even if it kills her in the end.
