Steel and Mana

Chapter 304 – Mikan’s Midnight Snack

I woke up in the middle of the night, thanks to the movement within my bulging belly. I already knew it was a cry for food because I felt hungry the moment my consciousness awoke. My little one demands her midnight snack, hm? Stepping out of our bed, I threw on a loose robe, put on my glasses, looked at the others, and noticed that someone was missing—namely Leon.

"..."

Did something happen? That was my first thought, but then again, it wasn't winter yet, so it shouldn't be about a monster attack. Ah... then I noticed. The twins were also gone. It didn't take long for me to find the trio right in the kitchen, where my, I mean, our husband was feeding them with something he called a 'smoothie.' Or something like that. It was simply a blend of fruits, but the kids loved it.

"Did I wake you up?" he asked me, rubbing the twins' heads as they slurped with satisfied expressions, sitting on the dining table, dangling their tiny legs.

"No. She did." I answered with a smile, gently stroking my tummy.

"I see. Let me make you something then! These two were also in the mood for some midnight munchies, isn't that right?"

"Munchies!" They answered in sync, letting their cups down, their faces smudgy from their drinks.

"It should be enough, though!" Leon chuckled, cleaning them up and putting them down. "Now, go, time to sleep! Head back to bed. Got it? No detours, no mischiefs, and leave the exploration of the night to when you are a few years older."

"Ooookay!" They saluted, hugging his legs before hurrying up to me and doing the same.

"Go, go..." I whispered, smiling at them, "If your mother also wakes up, she won't be happy of you two wandering around!"

"And what will it be for you, my dear?" He asked with a smile after we were left alone, "If it was our daughter who woke you up, a simple drink wouldn't do it now, would it?"

"That's... true." I nodded, realizing I was indeed hungry. Very much so. "A sandwich should do it, though!"

"Good thing I am prepared because I was thinking of the same thing! Sit. I'll do it."

Watching him prepare it, I couldn't help but rest my chin on my palm and just admire his body from behind... I mean, his work. Hauh... Well... maybe not just his work. I remember when I was still younger, taken from home because of my sensitivity to magic and how afraid I felt. I dreamed of someone who would come for me... Just to be with me.

Later, as I failed more and more, I couldn't help but feel myself to be useless. I was someone who couldn't even process the easiest spells that the others managed in only a few months, and I was being left out of everything. I wasn't bullied, but... the silence and the looks I got were enough to make me realize I was an unwanted disappointment. I hoped that someone would look at me differently and then take me away.

Instead, I was sent to learn about priests and all that it entailed, so if not by casting magic, I could serve the Empire differently. In any other ways, they decide to...

I don't know if there were other plans for me, but when I was allowed to visit the Geth Empire, I felt as if I was being prepared as some kind of asset. I usable one. Maybe to become a spy, ordered to offer my body, or who knows? I was afraid of that, but then again, I was let to return, and not long after, I was sent to the North. Well, thinking about it, carrying my child in my tummy, it did turn out that way! The difference is that it was my choice...

"What's so funny?" He asked, making me jolt out of my thoughts.

"Ah?"

"You are smiling, Mikki. Was I swinging my hips? Luna said I tend to do that when I am lost in doing something. Sasha also told me I usually have my tongue out when concentrating. I never realized."

"Oh, oooh! No, I was just... remembering," I answered, feeling my face burning up. I took a big bite from the sandwich to hide my blush so I wouldn't have to answer. It was... so tasty. It had a fried slice of monster meat in it, with a good amount of Luna's sauce, topped off with lettuce and cheese. It was incredible, and I could feel our growing daughter enjoying it just as much.

"Remembering of what?" He asked curiously, eating his own, watching my eyes.

"Of my past. Growing up. Being alone."

"Ah... I know it is not something pleasant, but don't think about bad things; you are in good hands now~!" He exclaimed, glancing at my boobs.

"Pervert." I joked, making him giggle, which was... cute. I liked it when he was roguish, yet his eyes remained caring even when he was playful. "And it wasn't all bad. I liked studying."

"And it led you to me." He nodded his head confidently, "It all worked out because we dealt with your issue~!"

True. There was a big issue that I didn't even know about back then. My dear ancestor... Since she was banished into the depths of my consciousness and magic, never to resurface again, I entirely became the owner and commander of my powers. I should be angry at her for putting me through so much, but by now, I haven't held any grudge against the old Morningstar. I haven't heard her voice for a long time, and I have begun to forget her, which may have been for the best.

"Need another?" He asked, and I just realized I finished mine, licking my fingers in the process.

"Oh... oh no, this will be fine! I still need to watch out... I have been eating a bit more than I should, I think."

"You are perfect," he continued as we stood up, stepping behind me and hugging me firmly. His hands held my belly, gently rubbing it while his face was buried in my loose hair, sniffing me. It felt electrifying. "You are the softest amongst us... don't lose that."

"There is still a balance..." I muttered, moaning softly, feeling him poking me from behind. Hauh... if he keeps doing that, I will get into the mood myself! We have also been holding back... that wasn't helping at all. I haven't done anything with him for months now. We agreed that we should not until I was in a stable period. Ah, who am I trying to deceive? I wanted him just as much!

"Heavy..." he said, and as I looked down, he was holding my breasts in his hand, measuring them. He wasn't wrong... They were... and they were a chore to carry around all day.

"They are... full!" I moaned, feeling his fingers squeeze into my flesh through the thin fabric, playing with my nipples. "W-wait...!" I tried to warn him, but it was too late as milk squirted out, soaking my robes, turning them seethrough and sticky.

"They are. Your back has to hurt. Come..." he continued, leading me not into our room but into his office. And I wasn't going to complain or resist—not now, not ever.

It didn’t take long for us to lay there and cuddle while naked right on his couch. He always knew how it felt the best as he hugged me there, lying on our sides, his arms wrapped around me from behind, one playing with my breasts while the other gently stroking my belly. I was already ready, and he knew it, so without saying anything, he slowly slipped into me, opening the way with ease. The feeling of him filling me out was something otherworldy… Even if it wasn’t the first time, it was just as pleasant as then.

I know he liked doing it more actively, but right now, he also knew what I needed the most. He moved his hips ever so slowly and gently, rocking me in his arms… and it was… the best. I know my moans were loud, but I couldn’t help it because every time he pushed in deeply, hitting my baby room, I experienced a jolt rushing through me, and my nipples squirted milk everywhere. I was getting afraid my mind would soon turn blank because of the pleasure assaulting my thoughts. I could do nothing but hold onto his arms, letting him do whatever he wanted.

I don’t know how long we did it, but time simply stopped existing, and I felt like floating, reaching heaven, when he finally filled me with his essence. It was like a flood that finally extinguished the fire in me, the same fire that I had been battling for months now. I didn’t know my body would miss this feeling so much, but it did… and now I was satisfied.

When I returned to my senses, I was lying atop him, our bodies sweaty, sticking together, while his mouth was firmly holding onto my breast, emptying it like a baby. His face looked so innocent while doing so... and I couldn’t help but start stroking his head, letting him continue. Somehow, he was still up, but I also didn’t want to risk it. Our baby was the priority, after all.

So, while he kept suckling and pleasuring me through my sensitive nipples, I wasn’t going to let my husband remain unsatisfied. My fingers wrapped around his mightiest weapon, making me chuckle at how cutely he reacted to it, increasing the force he was sucking my milk out. I think it was the first time that I was dictating his pleasure, or at least, the tempo… it was fun. I found myself teasing him a little, too, slowing down as I felt him nearing the edge before continuing, and when he finally splurted, it flew higher than it ever did, covering my tummy and thighs that I was hugging him with.

“Good baby~!” I muttered without thinking, giving my other breast into his mouth, letting him empty it, continuing to pleasure him, not stopping until his rod finally went limp between my fingers, and he fell asleep.

...
....
......

I got roused from my weird stupor when the door to the office opened. Finally, it registered in my mind that it was already morning, and the sun was up, shining in on us. Until then, I just laid there, stroking his chest, snuggling up to his body, all naked and… filthy.

“Woah, that’s some smell!” Luna exclaimed, laughing, making me blush as I sat up, realizing I was still lost in this… perverted fantasy. “Relax, it’s fine! Don’t need to blush, Mikki! Anyway, I came after noticing you were gone, so… I am going to make breakfast, okay? Wake him up by then!”

With that, she was gone, and Leon started to stir, making me look at him. I leaned in and gently kissed his lips, and he returned it very quickly, his eyes opening.

“Mhm… Good morning…. I think?” He muttered, smiling at me.

“It is a good morning.” I nodded, watching his warm gaze, “It is always a good morning when it's with you.”

“You are going to make me blush!”Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“Hehe~ I’m not so sure!” I giggled, climbing off of him. “My tummy is calm, which is a rarity… it seems our daughter was lulled into a deep sleep.”

“Saying it like that feels weird.” He muttered, making me chuckle, but then again, we should start cleaning up ourselves a little. Which he also noticed. “Come! I’ll wash your back while taking a quick bath. Luna can then clean the room.”

“I will do it! It is our mess after all…” I offered, but he shook his head, shooting my idea down.

“No, you are going to rest. Let her do it! She always mumbles about new ideas for her book… Since accepting the fact that she is a loved writer, she has been pumping out books like there is no tomorrow.”

“They are… well, they are something. I am surprised they sell this quickly whenever one is published…” I muttered because her stories were always so… vivid.

“Well… Sex sells.” He nodded while stretching, “And a healthy city accepts its needs, so people shouldn’t be ashamed of it. Come! I’m hungry~! Even though I had a good meal in the middle of the night~!”

“Pervert!” I answered with a smile, taking his hand and letting him lead me to the bath… all naked. Hauh… thankfully, nobody came up in the corridors, or I wouldn’t know what to do! My body should only be seen by him… I am his, after all.
