Theo followed Veronica to her chambers, a big room with a personal training space for the sect leader only. Theo was the exception to this rule; Veronica allowed him to use it whenever she wasn't around, which was most of the time given her duties for the sect.
In big and ancient sects, everything ran automatically like a well-oiled machine, but that wasn't the case for a small one like Jade Lotus.
The sect leader and the vice were the only teachers and only elders, meaning they had to fulfill every single job themselves, including teaching, hunting dangerous beasts, and recruiting. Only recently they passed the cooking and shopping duties to the older disciples.
Veronica smiled gently at the young man she had adopted 16 years ago, impressed by how the time passed and the little baby had grown.
Meanwhile, Theodor was quite nervous. He knew their annual ceremony. The soft woman would get emotional and touchy, wanting to feel him closer that day every year.
"Come," Veronica climbed onto the bed and patted the empty space next to her, looking at him eagerly. She had removed her sect leader robes and changed into light, half-translucent silk robes meant for comfortable sleeping, and her undergarments could be seen when the torches were lit.
Theo gulped as he watched the mature woman lying in front of him. Her long, raven hair flowed seamlessly to the pillow underneath her as she rolled on her side, and her narrow brown eyes gave her kind gaze some sharp attributes that added to her charm.
Veronica's round face was not the hottest nor the spiciest, but it complemented her amiable personality well, adding to her angel-like aura in Theo's eyes. Even if it was factually wrong, she was one of the most beautiful women in the world to him. Growing under her care and love for years earned her the highest status in the young man's heart.
"I'm an adult now, we should swap spots," Theodor looked into her eyes and spoke. It was difficult not to let his eyes wander lower to the realm of mounds and mountains. Veronica was blessed with breasts that would be ranked as DD in his previous world, and her cultivation did well to keep them firm and floating.
The way they slid slightly to the side in her pose was more formidable than any hypnotizing technique, and their nest, a slender figure that kept growing smaller until the waist, gave the sensation of looking at the enchanting sunset sinking behind mountains afar.
"Mm, even if you are an adult now, I will protect you forever, come take your spot," Veronica shook her head and patted the mattress by her side once again.
While some people might have filthy thoughts about the conversation transpiring, it was much purer than that. Veronica would hug and cuddle her baby every year on his birthday for the whole night. Those dirty minds should go through introspection.
It used to happen more often in the past, but feeling it was getting inappropriate when he turned 14, she limited herself to indulge in this overflowing love only once a year, even going as far as instructing him to call her 'Sect Leader' like the rest of the disciples.
Now, they were amidst their old argument. Veronica felt she must take the big spoon role as the mom in the relationship, while Theo wanted to break free from this status and become a man in her eyes, pursuing the final goal of being her man, specifically.
They weren't related by blood, and she was the woman he had admired above all, so it seemed natural she should be his.
"It's a man's job to protect the women in his family," Theo insisted. He phrased it carefully. Both the wife and the mother were women in one's family. He meant wife, while Veronica interpreted it as mother.
"What nonsense are you talking?" Veronica laughed, "You are living in a female-only sect. Are you saying everyone here is weaker than you and requires your protection?"
"Don't twist my words! Even if you are stronger than me, I still wish to protect you!"
Theodor joined her in the bed, but he didn't jump into her comforting embrace yet. He was adamant about taking the big spoon role tonight. He was facing her while waddling toward her on his knees on the king-size bed, looking at her from above.
"Hahaha," Veronica giggled happily. She enjoyed those casual banters with Theo. There was some distance between her and the disciples since they had to venerate her as their sect leader. Only Theo could be fearless and skip all formalities around her, and this sense of intimacy was a basic human need.
"Turn around," Theo didn't give up.
"Even if I turn around, can you cuddle me?" The woman turned, landing on her back to have a better angle when she talked to Theo. Her boobs jiggled with the movement, and her spread legs commanded attention and respect.
Surprisingly, her taunt painted Theo's cheeks with faint red when he remembered an embarrassing moment. Two years ago, when she passed the verdict he was too old to snuggle with her freely, he also made the same argument as today. Veronica allowed him to do so, but a few seconds after her butt pressed against him, the poking started.
"It's a natural and healthy body response," The man immediately eliminated the embarrassment. After the last experience, he knew it'd be impossible for him to resist the boner when the woman he loved was in his arms wearing thin silk, her body heat filling his senses, and her curves pushing against him.
Since it was impossible, the only feasible plan was to allow it and set it as a natural phenomenon. Veronica would be pushed to accept it as an adult who should not be bothered by the honest reaction of a teen's body, and things could roll from there.
"It is, there's nothing to be embarrassed about," Veronica answered awkwardly. Those were her words back then as she quickly took the big spoon role after the unsuccessful attempt to switch roles, not wanting the boy to worry about his image in her eyes. Now that he said it, she couldn't tease him anymore.
"Then let me, and it will calm down eventually," Theo pushed further.
Veronica seemed hesitant. "Okay, I will let you hug me if you call me once more."
Despite the seemingly simple request, the faint redness Theo had worked hard to banish had returned immediately. "Sect Leader," he slowly lowered himself.
"That's not what I meant."
Theo struggled with himself for a moment. It was truly embarrassing, yet the desire to have that ample bottom on his lap and the round breasts within reach prevailed. It was a very strong desire.
"Mo…" he couldn't bring himself to finish.
"Mo?" Veronica immediately beamed. Her face looked so happy it almost looked ten years younger, like when she was a woman in her early twenties.
"Mommy…" Theodor eventually let it out and pounced on her. Veronica only giggled happily and turned around, letting him wrap his arms around her little waist. A quiet sigh immediately escaped the young man's lips when the lamps of soft roundness hit his hips, fitting there perfectly.
"Right, even if you grow to be more powerful than the immortals, I will still be your Mommy," Veronica snuggled into his embrace and placed his hand on her stomach to feel it all over. The position made her feel safe instinctively, and that feeling alone made her moan when she felt the caress on her belly.
The moan wasn't without consequences. Theodor managed to somehow hold back for a few seconds, but hearing the woman letting out a lewd sound made things get out of hand. A worm turned into a snake and then into a dragon, its head firm and powerful.
A jolt ran through Veronica's spine when she felt the manhood poking her behind even though she tried to mentally prepare herself for it. Despite the clothes getting in the way, her heightened senses as a cultivator allowed her to feel the long, thick shaft resting against her butt.
Even a virgin like herself knew this size wasn't common. The young boy she picked up sixteen years ago wasn't blessed with cultivation talent, but perhaps it was the result of a certain part taking all his luck, leaving nothing to the journey to immortality.
"I love you," Theo whispered, his breath tingling the woman's ear.
She stifled the excitement rising in her stomach forcibly. "I love you, too," she answered, but her attention was still directed at the hard sensation on her lower body. Veronica wasn't sure anymore what she meant exactly by saying those words, making her feel confused.
'No, he is like a son to me!' She thought as she tried to resist the intrusive thoughts. The mighty sect leader regretted her choice to satisfy that wish of being the big spoon, but it was impossible to retreat now. Was she supposed to admit that his hard dick made her feel horny?
Impossible!
But just as she managed to force herself to calm down, the grinding started.
