A Devil's Tease, A Morning's Care
Steam softly curled around their forms as hot water filled the enormous marble tub. The enormous bath was encircled by black stone walls and golden fittings, the air perfumed with the smell of lavender and rose oil. The water glimmered, only disturbed by gentle ripples as two forms sank into it.
Rias leaned against Leon's chest, her crimson hair floating around her like a veil of silk. She let out a soft sigh, the warmth soaking into her muscles.
"Mmh… I could stay here forever," she whispered, resting her head against his shoulder.
Leon wrapped his arms around her from behind, his fingers tracing softly down her stomach. Nothing urgent or lecherous—just simple affection. The bath remained still, with just the dripping water and their peaceful breathing.
"You need this after last night," Leon whispered, pressing a kiss on her temple.
Rias emitted a soft giggle. "You mean after you nearly broke me…
He laughed, his voice low and rough. "I promised I'd be gentle."
"You lied."
"I did."
They laughed softly, the sound rebounding off stone walls. Leon picked up a soft cloth and submerged it into the perfumed water. Gentle hands washed her back, moving slow, his touch reverent. Rias closed her eyes, relishing every movement—every stroke.
She went to face him, her arms around his neck as he continued to softly care for her, washing her shoulders and her arms and down her legs. He did not glance away from her face.
"You're too good to me," she breathed.
Leon smiled, running a thumb over her cheek. "Because. plain you are my sweetheart."
When they eventually got out of the bath, She snuggled up close, saying softly, "Carry me again? My legs are still jelly."
He laughed. "Of course, sweetheart." he enveloped her in a thick white towel, scooping her up into his arms with ease.
In the bathroom annex changing room, Leon sat her down on a cushioned stool beside the wardrobe.
"Wait here."
He went to the other side of the room, where fresh clothes neatly folded lay. As he dressed in a crisp gold-white robe, Rias smiled, looking at him with admiring eyes.
"You look dangerously handsome."
Leon smirked. "And you look deliciously undone."
Rias stood up, still wrapped in the towel. "Let's correct that."
She reached into a tiny drawer and produced a set of dainty black lingerie, a red robe with a golden accent and a plunging neckline. "Yesterday after you went to your study daddy, I returned to my room," she said nonchalantly. "Brought my clothes here. I'm not going back."
Leon moved behind her and assisted her into the lingerie first, his fingers moving with painstaking slowness. When he went to fasten her bra, she trembled, arching back against his heat.
"Stop torturing," she breathed.
"I'm assisting," he retorted, his mouth close to her ear.
He assisted her into her dress, smoothing the fabric over her waist, then carefully zipped up the back. She turned to him, fully dressed now, cheeks flushed.
"And?" she asked, swiveling slightly.
"You're beautiful," Leon said, and meant it.
They walked toward the bed together.

Aria was in the room straightening out the final corner of the sheet. The heavy aroma of last night's passion still clung to the air, in spite of her trying hard. She sat on the floor holding one hand around a crystal vial and spritzed a gentle fragrance through the room—flower, light, cleansing.
As the pair entered, Aria turned—and halted.
Her eyes first rested on Rias—shining and radiant a grown-up beauty now but her look propelled to her walk somewhat unnatural.
"Young Miss… are you okay?" she asked, concern seeping into her voice.
Rias pouted dramatically. "Someone was terribly active last night… I instructed him to go easy, but did he obey? Nooo. And now look at me, hardly walking."
Aria's eyes went wide. Then they shifted to Leon—tall, calm, but there was something… rough and male about him. She could sense it in her very bones.
Her heart skipped a beat. Her face turned a brilliant red. "I… I see…"
Her eyes flashed to Leon—She gulped.
The Lord is indeed… energetic…
A shiver crept down her spine—not fright, but an intense shudder that moved below. She remembered how yesterday, in the study, she almost fucks with him if that knock not interrupt both them. If I had…, would I be limping like the Young Miss too….
Her cheeks heated at the thought of scandal.
No! No! Stop!
Then—Leon cleared his throat softly.
Aria returned to reality. "Forgive me, my Lord!"
Before she could properly recover, Rias smiled wickedly. "Aria, by chance. were you wondering how it would be if Daddy screwed you too?"
Aria almost dropped the spray vial.
"M-My Lady!" she gasped, shaking.
Leon coughed, embarrassed but attempting not to laugh. "Sweetheart."
"What?" Rias replied with a wink. "I'm only saying the truth. She's got feelings for you, Daddy. I know it. And you… well, you also want to fuck her too, don't you?"
"Rias," Leon replied, coughing again, half-laughing, half-mortified.
Aria's legs nearly gave way. "L-Lord… Young Miss… the food has already here…" she replied hastily, nodding toward the golden trolley. "I… I'll be leaving now; I have some work to attend!"
She nearly ran from the room, face flushed irreparably.
As the door closed behind her, Rias burst out laughing and collapsed into Leon's arms. "Did you catch her face? Priceless!"
Leon encircled her. "You're going to embarrass her to death."
She laughed. "I merely assisted. You did not enjoy it?"
Leon smiled, and he kissed her forehead. "I adored it."
She snuggled close. "Oh, my horny Daddy… but Don't forget—I'm your number one"
He playfully pinched her nose. "Never."
Rias smiled and snuggle him a bit more.
They sat down on the couch by the window, sunbeams pouring over their bodies as they had breakfast. She offered him a bite of toast drizzled with honey. He reciprocated with a slice of fruit.
Tender kisses were snatched between bites. Eyes met. Hands touched. No words needed.
After the meal, Rias rested against him, sleepy.
"Come," he whispered, lifting her again.
He put her on the bed with a softness, pulling the blanket up to her chin.
"I'll let you sleep."
She smiled groggily. "Don't go too far…."
"Never."
Leon moved to the edge of the bed, take seat on couch and then,
"System," he said softly.
A soft chime resonated within his head as blue glyphs and information flashed in the air in front of him.
He hadn't checked it last night—because nothing could compare to the moment, he shared with her. And this morning? Well…
He smiled.
Now, it was time to discover what rewards, powers, or… surprises lay in wait.
And so, the system screen lit up.
