I stood on the balcony and stared out into the sunset and thought about life on Earth a bit. I thought about everything that's happened so far and just let out a soft chuckle.
"What are you out here chuckling about?" Grace asked as she walked up to me.
I looked at Grace and watched her walk up to me. "Come to bother me again?"
Grace sat in a chair and crossed one leg over the other. She stared out into the sunset as well and adjusted her eye patch. "No. I just saw you out here and just came to see what's up. I never see you out here."
I smiled and looked back out in the sunset. "I just decided to come out here and soak in the gentle breeze. It's not everyday that I get some time to myself now."
Grace looked at me and closed her eye. "I get what you mean, but it seems like you don't need it. You've got everyone wrapped around your little finger, Prince Charming."
I chuckled and looked at Grace. "You jealous?"
Grace scoffed and opened her eye to look at me. Her face was slightly red. "Me? Jealous of you? Yeah right. Knock your ego down a few notches, it's hard to concentrate."
"Mmm, two days ago you were willing to tell everyone about me and Cornelia. It's fine if you want in on the fun. You look like you could use it." I said.

"I really hate your confidence sometimes. You get a little lucky one night stand with a witch. You got your dick wet one time and suddenly you're the man." Grace said and rolled her eyes.
"Hey, it isn't my fault she was feeling me day one. Seems like you are a bit jealous that I didn't fall in love with someone who was willing to knock me from existence." I said, mockingly.
Grace looked away and huffed. "You still hang onto that? I thought you didn't hold grudges, Mr. I Have No Enemies."
I smiled at Grace and leaned back against the rails of the balcony then closed my eyes and looked up, feeling the breeze. "I don't hold grudges. I've already forgiven you three for wanting to knock me off, however I do wonder...if I happened to be a woman, would you treat me how you all did the first time?"
"I—Well...Not exactly.." Grace said softly. "But—"
I held my hand up and smiled. "You can see how your logic is flawed right? It's not fair. I can understand if women have more power here. Back on Earth, men were most powerful but we still gave women a fair chance."
"Your Earthly Logic doesn't work here. In this world—"
"Yeah yeah, men abusive women treated poorly. It was the same back on Earth in earlier times. It took centuries for us to get it right, even though there was still a lot of injustice. However, I'm not saying you all are wrong for being like this. I'm just saying give men the benefit of the doubt. Not every man that walks this universe is bad." I said.
Grace looked at me and crossed her arms. "You're the 1% we actually trust. Obviously we've changed our ways a bit by giving men jobs and shit...however we can not let our guards down. If we give them too many passes we will end up with more enemies than allies."
"I get it." I said and looked at Grace. "But I'll agree with you on the too many passes. I'm somewhat glad I'm not on Earth anymore because of the too many underlying issues with the government. Can you believe they would kill anyone who finds any sort of breakthrough that would allow us to progress as a whole?"
"What?" Grace asked in shock and sat up. "Why?"
"Mostly population control, but others is unknown. We needed more heroes but most people were too afraid to step up. From what I've seen so far, there isn't much of a government here." I said.
"Us Astra Valkyries rule Isoria so we make the laws, but I guess we could use some better laws. We just...need a good lawmaker." Grace said.
"I can help. I have Tyr's Power and he's known for War, Justice, and Law." I said.
"I guess. We can see what we can do about that." Grace said. "I'm curious about something...Are you actually connected to Folkvangr and Freyja?"
I nodded. "I am."
"But how? Most of us have been wanting to go to one of the domains of the Yggdrasil and here you are, casually connected with the Leader of the Vanir Deities." Grace said. "Plus how did you of all men even get accepted as her own?"
"Because of Atalia." I said.
"Huh?" Grace asked, sounding interested. "You are able to link with one of the most lustful Goddesses because of Atalia?"
"Atalia is her daughter. I don't know who her real father is exactly, but because I took Atalia in, I was able to meet Freyja. It happened during my battle against Yuri." I said.
"Wait so...Atalia is actually a Goddess..?! What the heck..? Have you and Freyja...." Grace wondered and stared at me.
"You're wondering if I had sex with Freyja? Well no. I haven't. Not yet anyway. The most we do is talk, flirt, and kiss, but that's just about it." I said.
"YOU KISSED FRE—Mmph!" Grace said in shock then grunted when I shot a ray of light at her mouth and it covered her mouth.
"Do you have to yell?" I asked and took the light tape off her mouth.
Grace stood up and looked at me in shock. "Are you serious? You get intimate with Freyja?"
"Why wouldn't I? Besides she's always the one making the first move." I said.
"Do you NOT see how this is a big deal..?! You're in relations with THE Freyja! None of us have even met any of the Gods and Goddesses other than being blessed with their powers! Do you know about the story of the Four Dwarves and—"
"Yes. How she had sex with four dwarves to receive Brísingamen. Yes yes I know it all, but that was like in Ancient Times. Even my version of Freyja did the same, but can you blame her? She's a beauty. I'm honored to be in her eyes..." I said and looked down. I thought about my conversation with Freyja from two days ago.
•Two Day Ago...•
"How did you survive for so long?" I asked.
"I didn't..." Freyja smiled softly. "I am actually dead, but my spirit lives on here in Folkvangr. If I am to leave this area...Folkvangr also disappears. Vanadis is my reincarnation."
•Present Day...•
I closed my eyes and sighed. "But I don't know for how long..."
Grace looked at me and noticed my saddened face. "What do you mean?"
I shook my head and smiled. "Just thinking about what Solmund said to me from two days ago.."
"Oh about knowing of you and Atalia..? Yeah, I was always wondering about that too...I was wondering how they knew of Atalia when no one has ever mentioned her to them." Grace said.
I turned to look at the sun going down. "I'm not letting anyone get her even if I have to sacrifice myself to prevent that from happening. No one is taking Atalia away from me..."
Grace walked next to me and stood beside me. She wrapped her pinkie around mine and stared out at the sky as well. "We're not going to let it get to that stage...Now that we know how important Atalia truly is, we will do all we can to protect her as well. She is our daughter as well now."
I nodded and smiled. "I know.."

I walked down the hall after working out and refreshing myself then noticed Grace leaving out of a room. She noticed me as well and smiled then walked toward me. She grabbed my hand then led me to her room. We walked into her room and the lights came on.
"What's up, Grace?" I asked.
"I just...wanted to talk for a bit. After our conversation earlier, my curiosity about you only piqued even more." Grace said and let my hand go.
I sat down on her bed and looked at her. "Really? For the most wicked woman in the organization, I'm honored to have your interest... however I don't know what more you want to know."
Grace sat beside me and looked at the floor. "I know...I just kinda needed an excuse to get you in here and I didn't want to interrupt your work out session. I gotta say...you're, I guess, kinda hot shirtless.."
"Your attempts of flirting is kinda terrible." I chuckled.
Grace blushed and closed her eye. "I know...I haven't flirted with anyone since my last boyfriend. That was when I was 17.."
I smiled at Grace and made her look at me. I tucked her hair behind her ear and noticed a blush appear on her face. I chuckled softly and placed my hand on the bed.
{Bond with Grace Increased!}
{Bond Rank with Grace UP: D -> C}
Grace averted eye contact and twirled a strand of her hair behind her ear. "How did you do that..? You made me all flustered without saying a word..."
"Many women from my dimension always asked the same. I never let them know my secret and it's no different now..." I said and smiled.
"Tell me.." Grace said and got closer. "I have to know.."
"Why? So you can use it against me?" I asked.
"Why else? What makes you flustered?" Grace asked.
"I'm keeping that a secret. I can't let you know my weaknesses even if we are allies." I said.
Grace softly groaned and puffed her cheeks then grabbed my hand. "C'mon that's not fair..."
I looked into her eye and placed my other hand on her cheek. I rubbed her cheek with my thumb and got closer. "It's fair to me.."
Grace stared into my eyes as well and blushed even more. She parted her lips and just stared at me. She gently held my wrist and felt my forehead press against hers. She closed her eyes, feeling a bit dizzy from arousal.
I leaned in closer and paused before our lips touched. I could hear her deepened breathing and could sense her increasing arousal. I brushed my lips against hers. She did the same and felt me gently bite her bottom lip. This drove her crazy, making her desire more.
"Stop teasing me already..." Grace tenderly whispered.
I chuckled sensually and gently moved her hair to the side then began to kiss her neck. She softly gasped and gently squeezed my hand. I began to softly scratch her thigh as I kissed her neck. She loved it and made a soft sound of pleasure. She held the back of my nape and shivered as I began kissing her neck with more passion.
She bit her bottom lip and softly moaned as I began to suck on her neck. "Dante..."
I continued to gently suck on her neck for a few more moments before pulling away. I smiled as she pushed me down and straddled on top of me. She began to kiss my lips and I kissed back, holding her thighs. She began to move her hips along my crotch while kissing me. I could feel how wet she was because of her sheer leggings.
She pulled away from the kiss and cupped my cheeks in her hands. She flipped her hair to the side and bit her bottom lip. "I can't control myself anymore..."
"I can tell.." I teased and felt her grinding harder.
Grace closed her eyes and softly panted whilst biting back her moans. She began to clench my shirt and began to move her hips a bit faster. "I want to feel you inside me so badly..."
I began holding her wrists and closed my eyes. I bit my bottom lip and made soft sounds of satisfaction. "Go ahead...pull my pants down. I'm not going to stop you..."
Grace began to clench my shirt more at the thought. She let go of my shirt and rose her hips and began to pull down my pants and underwear. She got off me and took off her leggings. She got back on top of me and pulled her panties to the side. She held my member in her hand then began to stroke it gently.
She slowly began to sink down onto my cock. She placed her free hand on my chest as she did. She opened her mouth to make a sound, but nothing came out. She fully sunk down and covered her mouth, trying to muffle her moans.
I held her hips and chuckled seductively as I stared at her. "Mmmn~ Feels go doesn't it?~"
"Mhm!~" She nodded and began to move her hips back and forth.
She panted heavily as she began riding faster, holding my cheeks in her hands. We stared into each other's eyes as we took in this moment. The pleasure she felt was extremely intense, making it harder to bite back her moans and whines of pleasure.
"Keep looking at me..." I whispered and softly moaned.
Grace kept eye contact and pressed her forehead against mine. She shakily moaned and whimpered. "Fuck..! Dante..! I'm cumming..!"
"Yeah..? Cum for me...keep looking at me while you do..." I breathily whispered.
Grace's moans began to rise in volume. She grunted a bit loudly and her body began tensing up. "Dante..!" She softly cried out and began to have an intense orgasm.
She abruptly stopped moving her hips and her body shuddered intensely. She buried her face into her pillow and cried out with pleasure. Her body was shaking as shockwaves of ecstasy rushed throughout her body.
I held her and laid her down on her back then spread her legs. I fully kicked off my pants and underwear from my ankles and positioned myself between her legs. Grace panted heavily and moved her hair from her eyes. I rose her shirt and leaned down to kiss and suck her breasts. She held my head and softly moaned.
I pulled away and sat up. "You ready..?" I asked.
She adjusted herself on the bed then raised her hips so she could place a pillow under her waist. She lowered her hips and nodded. "Take me.."
I slid my member back inside of her and she arched her back. I placed my hands on the bed and began thrusting. Grace gripped my arm with one hand and covered her mouth with the other as I began fucking her. She tossed her head to the side and moved her hips to match my pace.
"I said look at me." I said and made her look at me as I began thrusting harder.
Grace whined with pleasure and stared into my eyes. She held both my arms tightly, digging her nails into them. Her mind began blanking as the sensation she felt kept growing more intense.
"Don't stop..! Don't...Haah..!~" Grace cried and closed her eyes tightly as she began to cum again.
I wrapped my hand around her neck and kept thrusting. My thrusts only became harder and rougher with each thrust. She panted like an animal and wrapped her hands around my wrist. Her eyes began to roll to the back of her head and she began arching her back.
I grunted as I became close to finishing. I began thrusting faster, losing my rhythm. I pulled out and softly moaned as I came on her stomach. I panted and let go of her neck. She placed an arm over her eyes and swallowed hard then panted. Her body began to relax and was now all sweaty.
I sat on the bed and chuckled softly as I looked at her. "You have no reason to be jealous anymore.."
{Bond with Grace Increased!}
{Bond Rank with Grace UP: C -> B}
"Shut...up.." Grace said and panted. She wiped her eyes and sniffled.
"How was it..?" I asked and laid beside her on my side.
Grace lowered her arms and looked at me. "I wanna go again.."
I chuckled and sat up. "Well then..~ No rest for the wicked huh..~"
Grace blushed and watched me. "No.."
"Let's get round two on the road~" I smirked.
——————
The sun rose the next morning and Yuri spent an hour looking for Grace. She walked onto the balcony and noticed me standing at the balcony with Atalia pointing at the birds that flew by.
She walked toward us. "Hey, have you seen Grace?"
I looked back at Yuri and smiled at her. "She's in her room."
"Still? Geez, that woman...She might be Vice Commander but damn.." Yuri said.
"Hey, keep your words under control." I said and pointed at Atalia who was taking pictures of the birds.
"Sorry, sorry. Today is just very important. We're all supposed to be preparing to go to Holm for an important meeting with another group of Valkyries. The one time I need her she's late." Yuri sighed.
"I can go get her so you can keep preparing." I said.
Yuri smiled at me. "Alright. Atalia, do you wanna come help me prepare?"
Atalia looked at Yuri and nodded. "Yeah!~" She giggled and hurried over to Yuri.
Yuri held Atalia's hand and they went to go prepare.
I walked off and went to Grace's room. I walked inside and noticed Grace still sleeping. I smiled and walked to her and placed my hand on her arm. "Grace, wake up."
Grace groaned softly. "Go away..."
"You can't sleep all day. We're supposed to be going to Holm later." I said.
Grace's eyes shot open and she sat up quickly. "THAT'S TODAY?! What the fuck! Why didn't no one notify me?!"
"Maybe because you were sleeping the whole time?" I said.
"Oh and who's fault is that?!" Grace looked up at me with a red face.
"Technically yours." I chuckled.
Grace grunted and looked away. "Get out while I prepare..."
I chuckled and turned around then she grabbed my arm. I looked back at her. "What's up?"
"You were going to leave without kissing me?" Grace asked.
"You told me to leave." I said.
"Mmmm.." Grace grumbled.
I smiled and leaned down to kiss her lips. She kissed back then pulled away.
"Happy?" I asked.
"Yeah, whatever...now you can leave." Grace said.
"Alright~ Don't take too long." I chuckled and left the room.
Grace covered herself with her covers and blushed madly. She finally got out the bed and began to get ready for the day.
