Chapter 21: 1200 Days! (2)

Yuna's robe was a little more elegant, and had three

pieces instead of two. Her outer wear was similar to Thadius' but it stopped just after her hips. Underneath the outer wear was a sleeveless dress that was slit down the middle in the front and back to let her legs maneuver. The dress ended just after her knees, revealing the same white pants.

"I do good work don't I?"

"I think I could make a few modifications.." Thadius smiled.

"Don't you dare!"

"Whoa master! I was joking!"

Corban had exerted his pressure. Both Yuna and Thadius broke out into a cold sweat. It wasn't as bad as before, but it was still effective.

"Hmph.."

Thadius and Yuna looked at each other, and then at their master. Then the three of them shared a chuckle and headed off to bed.

Thadius and Yuna walked over to the residential side as Corban headed into the direction of his office. He'd been going there to sleep more often than before.

"How do I look?" Yuna asked as she stopped beside Thadius' door.

Thadius thought she looked absolutely enchanting. Especially the way the cloth wrapped her curves.

"It looks good on you." He said as he turned toward his room.

"You did it again!" she accused him as she pulled his arm to turn him around. Thanks for reading on ManaNovel!

"Did what?"

"You keep treating me differently just because I've grown a little..." she said as she looked down, poking her budding chest.

"You're growing into a young woman now.."

"So! I don't care about all that stuff you and master talk about!"

"Stuff?" Thadius raised an eyebrow.

"You know.....'stuff'."

"Well you don't have to worry about any 'stuff'

from me."

Thadius could practically hear the prison bars closing on his cell from even thinking about touching the tiny Goddess.

He walked into his room to lay down. Yuna followed.

"Whoa! We just had the 'stuff' talk and you still want to sleep in my bed? No ma'am." He said as he turned her around into the hall.

"But who's gonna tuck me in?"

"You will."

"Who's gonna read me my bedtime story."

"You will."

"Who's gonna ride on your shoulders?"

"You wi-" Thadius couldn't stop himself fast enough.

"You said it! Shoulder rides for life!" she shouted as she ran into her room. Thadius had the sneaking suspicion that she had planned the entire conversation.

'Clever girl...'

Thadius walked into his room and sat down at his side table. He had been burning the midnight oil on Corban's books, and was planning another night of reading.

One hour turned to two as he read. He had just made it to the end of the page when he sensed a presence at the doorway.

He looked up to find someone he'd never thought he see again. She was dress as a priestess, her all white robe reaching down to the floor.

"Ro-"

He had risen out of his chair in surprise, but she was faster. She placed a finger to his lips and leaned in for a kiss.

The woman he loved had tracked him all the way to the mountain. Thadius had never expected such a conclusion.

The feeling of her soft lips had the wolf within pacing in its cage. Thadius set it free.

A low growl escaped his lips as he effortlessly lifted her to his waist. His hands glided along her thighs to her hips, finding that she wore nothing beneath robes.

'Nothing!?'

She gasped in pleasure as Thadius spun her around and placed her on the bed, letting his hands explore the hidden recesses of her robe.

"Thadius w-" she whispered breathlessly.

Thadius had let go of his control, immersing himself in the taste of her skin at the nape of her neck.

"Thadius!" her soft cries did nothing but encourage the the beast.

A firm hand was placed on his shoulder. The monstrous grip allowed Thadius to rein in the beast for a single moment.

'Was she always this tall?'

"Thadius..."

The voice whispered again. It echoed unnaturally.

One coherent followed another as Thadius analyzed the situation. Her skin was as smooth against his lips, and tasted faintly of honey. What alarmed though, was the lingering scent of divinity.

Thadius cautiously looked up into the silver eyes of a panting Goddess.

"Your hands Thadius..."

Thadius reluctantly peeled himself of his Goddess, guiding his hands back down the living silk of her thighs.

He kneeled on the ground, noting the hint of moisture on his hand. He had no doubt that it was the dew of the divine fruit.

'FOCUS!' the wolf growled in his ear.

Thadius watched as Tegaia spread out on his bed, covering her bare legs with her robe.

"Goodness, Thadius. I only meant to tease you a bit. Yet , you try to push down your Goddess?"

"I have no excuse..."

"I too am to blame. It's been quite some time since I tempted a man. Perhaps I should have chosen someone you aren't completely comfortable with. Christina perhaps? Maybe Yuna?"

"Not Yuna..."

"Well, no harm done. You made this immortal heart skip a beat, quite the achievement..." Her eyes glowed playfully. Thadius looked away. Mortal men had their wills tested by the beauty of Goddesses. Many had failed.

"What can I do for you Goddesses?"

"Right, to business then."

She stood up, and in an instant the robe was swept away. What replaced it was armor that shined like a mirror. It was exceptionally beautiful. Thadius made a motion as if to touch it.

'DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING!' the beast snapped in his ear, it wouldn't retreat until the goal was achieved.

Tegaia looked down at him with an eyebrow raised. Before her he was a child, and she was the mother daring him to steal another cookie. He'd done enough touching for one day.

"What I need Thadius, is your help. In the near future, I'm going to dethrone the current Gods and restore order to the Heavens. For that, I need to be at my full strength. For that, I need my church restored. Well you help me?"

The quest fell in perfectly with the one he received from Old Man Tony. Not to mention the fact that Christina and Yuna had already suffered at their hands. There was absolutely no reason for him to refuse this quest.

"By your will, it shall be done."

[Quest Accepted]

"Thank you Thadius. I knew I could count on you."

Tegaia turned to walked out the door.

"Goddess, do you write?"

"No, why do you ask?"

"Well, if this is to work, I'll need a book written by your hand..."

Thadius explained his plan to her, and her eyes lit up.

"A book you will have Thadius. Though it will take some time."

"I should still be here."

"If not, I'll find you. Will you miss me?" She said with a mischievous look in her eye. The Goddess of Love, a prankster. Thadius just chuckled.

"I'll keep the bed warm for you."

"Such a naughty child." she whispered as she disappeared.

Thadius sighed heavily as he went back to sit down at his side table.

He licked his fingers, and turned the page with a devilish grin on his face.
