"I didn't know you were the romantic type," Adam smiled.
"Neither did I, but I know that you are the bashful type. So, did it make your heart skip a beat?" She leaned closer to his face.
"It sure did." Akeno giggled at his answer. She could feel his heart pounding. It was fast, just like hers. It made her happy that she could tell him about this.
At first, she wanted to let Rias have her chance before doing anything. But, it became harder to let it pass. Even with her cool head, she couldn't stop the slight spite that slipped through her mask. As she said, the love she had for him increased every day and it became harder to contain it.
'Just something as simple as touching him makes my heart flutter.' Akeno caressed his face. Cupping it with her gentle hands she took his lips, 'A simple intimate moment drives me crazy… yeah this is love. I love him.'
"…Adam can we continue where we stopped in the afternoon?" She asked.
"We'll need to change rooms." Akeno agreed.
Like that, one of the rooms on the floor was filled with her strenuous moans for a few hours. This session was as magical as the afternoon one. In the end, he didn't do it with her as she still had to serve her punishment. But, Akeno didn't mind it. Rather she was happy he didn't. She often lost herself in the face of pleasure, but he had his wits about him. He was in control, and she loved that.
'He looks so handsome when he is in control. But this tender side of him is much better.' Akeno thought as he laid her on the bed next to Ophis, and soon joined them on the bed.
With Ophis in the middle, he pulled her close and soon she fell asleep because of her tiredness.

The morning came quicker than they expected. But, they had to get out of their bed.
Adam and Akeno readied themselves for the new day and the tasks that had to be done. Below, they found Rias on the dining table waving at him with a small smile. Grayfia served the breakfast as they took their seats. They ate the tasty dishes with leisure, enjoying every bite while having a chat.
But, soon the time for Adam to leave came. He gave Rias a hug and a long smooch that left her short of breath. As she blushed and tried to look away he leaned in close and whispered in her ear.
"Let's go on a date when I come back." Her eyes widened. She looked at his smile and it made her feel butterflies in her chest.
The idea bloomed in her mind, they may be engaged but they haven't been on a date yet. A date, a day where they could be alone in each other's company. It sounded wonderful to her.
"…Mhm, let's do that." Her face reddened, but she looked forward to his return now, even more than normal.
In that pleasant mood, Adam and Grayfia left. Rias ignored the crying Euclid in the corner and turned to Akeno who had stayed silent since morning.
"Why didn't you do it, Akeno?" She asked.
"I already had enough last night, so don't worry about me." A smile appeared on Akeno's lips.
"Well… if you say so…" Rias pouted. It seemed that she had been overthinking. Just then she felt a pair of hands wrapped her in a hug.
"Akeno…?" This wasn't the normal teasing hugs she gave her. But, the emotion behind it felt more gentle and loving.
"Thank you, Rias." Akeno said from the depth of her heart.
"Come on… I am not used to you being like this." Rias coughed but still patted her back.
"Well, I planned on saying 'Thanks for bringing Adam into my life' but I thought that was a little too much so I said this." Akeno blurted out.
"…I am pretty sure you said something similar to this before." Rias wasn't amused.
"Did I? Well, too late then." Akeno giggled.
Watching her Rias shook her head and cracked a smile. Akeno was still Akeno till the end. At that moment, the door to the dining room opened and Roygun walked.
"You two, how about we make a deal about this kid?" She stated with the oblivious Ophis, she tilted her head in confusion.
"What deal?" Rias asked, defensive at the sudden suggestion.
"It is a deal that'll allow us to have alone time with Adam at nights," Roygun explained.
"I am in." Akeno didn't even have to think about it. Sleeping with Ophis between them was fun and gave her the feeling that they had a child, but it was also a problem that would stop them from having actual ones.
"…Did you just say us?" Rias however caught another detail.
"Of course 'us' as in us three. I plan to shoot my shot too you know?" Roygun smirked, "If you don't want to make the deal I am fine too, I can work with Akeno alone."
"I-I never said that I didn't want to." Rias panicked as an unexpected alliance formed against the Dragon God who had been stuck to Adam's side for the majority of the days.
However, Ophis sat at the dining table. Oblivious to the schemes the three were making. Her concerns lay elsewhere.
'Cookies, don't taste sweet without Adam.' She thought chewing on the chocolate chip cookie as big as her head with a blank face.

The world twisted around Grayfia, she knew that they were traveling through space. But, rather than the normal teleportation spell, this one seemed more complex. It gave her a feeling of gliding through nothingness to reach the point of her destination.
What seemed like a moment, expanded into seconds thanks to her supernatural perception and ability to catch details of the phenomenon. She had never thought that something like this could be achieved without the use of Mana. How Adam did it? She had no idea, but she'd like to know. However, now wasn't the time to breech into this subject.
They had arrived in a bedroom. Grayfia doubted it belonged to Adam because of the heavy shade of pink that dominated the place. The bed, walls, carpets, and even the chandelier up above shone with a pink hue. On the bed sat a beautiful woman with golden locks that could rival her hair in silkiness and shine.
The air around the woman and her countenance, paired with pure white dress on her body one wouldn't think of anything else but an Angel. And that she was.
"Greetings Mr. Adam, My name is Gabriel." Twelve pure white wings spread from her back to prove the point.
As a longtime aide for the Current Satan, Grayfia hadn't thought that she'd see a Seraph in the flesh again. The last time she remembered seeing them was during the war centuries ago. So, what would her current master want to do with this Angel?
Not only did he appear in her bedroom, but they also seemed acquainted in a formal sense.
"That old man already made his move, huh." Adam wondered how much he explained.
"Yes, I had a talk with Father in a dream last night. He said you'd come to get me soon." A soft smile appeared on her pink lips.
"Did he say anything more?" Adam asked. If that old man skipped that part then he'd have to fill her in, which in a way made him uncomfortable.
Overall, Gabriel had this aura of innocence that seemed to overwhelm her charm as a woman. If possible Adam didn't want to discuss the contract with her. It would be like robbing the innocence of a child by showing them how kids are actually made. His worries were unfounded though.
"Y-Yes… he did tell me about the C-Contract." The shade of red took over Gabriel's face. It seemed like the old man didn't leave any stone unturned.
"So, what do you think? If you don't want to make the contract just say it and I'll handle the rest."
