Chapter 650: A Wrench in Plans
Late at night after the festivities were over, Abaddon left most of the men who had passed out on the floor of the man cave.
Silently, he returned to his bedroom while smelling lightly of liquor.
It was around 2 in the morning currently, and Abaddon was unsurprised to find his women already in bed and asleep.
His silent footsteps carried him directly into the bathroom, where he ran boiling hot water and sank into the tub after removing what little clothing he had on.
Sighing, Abaddon sank into the water and closed his eyes while letting out a weary sigh.
“Uh-oh. If you’re tired, then maybe we should have come to get you sooner.”
Opening his eyes, Abaddon found a rather stupefying sight before him.
Ayaana was up and about; wearing a loose black silk robe that hung open untied and left most of her assets on full display.
“Sif fell asleep waiting for you, you know..? A pity too, since we dressed her up in the cutest little milk cow cosplay too…” she sighed.
Abaddon’s ears visibly perked up.
“… Is she sleeping like ‘wake me up and I’ll kill you’ sleeping, or is it more like ‘If you wake me up then you better make me feel really good’ sleeping?”
Ayaana laughed to herself; ignoring the urgency in their husband’s question.
She dropped to her knees outside of the bath and hugged her husband from behind while inhaling his scent.
“You smell like liquor.”
“I know.” He chuckled. “Why do you think I’m in the bath?”
“Mm, I didn’t say that we minded it though. It seems like you had fun.”
“I did.” He admitted wryly.
Ayaana rested her head on her husband’s shoulder and ran her hands along his exposed chest.
Abaddon couldn’t tell if this was her way of trying to seduce him or if she was just being affectionate.
As such, he resigned himself to simply enjoying the feeling of her touch.
The two made cute small talk for a while, speaking about their shared and individual interests, and the latest developments of the children that were the fruit of their love.
Ayaana made a comment about how Nubia hadn’t seemed to have taken the final step with her new partners and Abaddon silently thanked his lucky stars.
“We heard that.” The girls bit his ear roughly.
‘Whoops…’
“Ah, speaking of no sex…” he began.
“Avernus.”
“Right, right, sorry.” Abaddon wanted to laugh, but he sensed that doing so would come with more dire consequences for his ear.
“The men are planning a little trip for the ten of us to attend. Would you girls be alright without me for a few days?”
Ayaana didn’t say anything for a couple of seconds; signaling that the girls were discussing it amongst themselves.
“We’ll be fine on our own for a bit, but the problem isn’t us. Courtney starts school in two days and the planned raid on the underworld is scheduled to take place three weeks from now.”
“I’m not planning to leave until after I see my daughter off and get a full report from Adeline on her first day. And if I’m quite honest, I doubt this trip will take longer than a week and a half.”
“Hmm… Alright then.” The girls gave him a soft kiss on the cheek. “Who’s idea was this little guys trip anyways?”
“…”
Ayaana raised a brow with their eyes closed when they felt their husband’s pulse quicken.
“…Honey?”
“…Well, Darius brought it up-“
The girls went from rubbing Abaddon’s chest affectionately to digging into his pecs with their claws.
Their eyes immediately snapped open with a dangerous glow that Abaddon’s debilitated mind found quite sexy.
“We changed our minds. You’re staying home with us.”
Abaddon couldn’t really blame them for thinking like this, since Darius did say once upon a time that he wanted to plan a trip where the guys go find otherworldly women who were willing to fuck for a buck and holler for a dollar.
If he were in their shoes, he likely would have had this exact same reaction…
*Tap, tap, tap, tap!*
“Girls, what are you doing?”
“Texting your moms and ours to make sure that they know not to allow this madness either.”
Laughing, Abaddon cracked open his eyes for the first time in over thirty minutes.
He plucked away the girls’ phone before they could send a nuclear level message that would vaporize all their plans.
“Hold your horses, my loves. We aren’t going to any exotic massage resorts or anything like that.” He reassured.
“Oh? He’s going to have you pick up your loose women behind a bar after last call?? We will kill all three of you.”
“…Do you understand how unbearably attractive you are right now?”
“D-Don’t think that flirting with us will get you out of this.”
“On the contrary, my loves. I’m hoping it will get me deeper into it.”
It was becoming difficult for Ayaana to remain agitated with her husband.
His lazy smile, sinisterly attractive appearance and relentless gaze was like a hard drug of no possible replication or imitation.
Luckily, he didn’t seem like he was ready to pounce on them just yet.
“I’ve finally told Helios that my seals are no more.” Abaddon confessed. “Unsurprisingly, he had only one thing on his mind when I told him.”
Ayaana’s eyes shone with recognition. “I see… so then you’re going there with only the ten of you?”
“Yes. It’ll be a nice little bonding exercise.”
Ayaana’s sense of jealousy deflated as she went back to holding her husband kindly in her gentle embrace.
“Oh… we wish you all luck then. But don’t become so overconfident just because your power is unbound, alright?”
“I wouldn’t dream of it.”
The two of them stared into each other’s eyes for a short moment before Abaddon inevitably undressed her and pulled his wives into the water with them.
“If you guys were just going to get like this anyway then why did you make me dress up in this embarrassing outfit…?”
Abaddon and Ayaana tore their heated gazes away from each other and glanced at the doorway behind them.
There, a lone red faced Sif was hiding her body just out of sight and had only poked her head in.
But Abaddon could already see the little prop horns on her head that indeed belonged to a cow.
“Don’t pout, we weren’t going to leave you out. Come in and let us see you.” Ayaana beckoned.
“W-Why did I have to wear this again..?”
“You lost at drawing straws.”
“Pretty sure you cheated..”
“You have no proof of that.” (Of course they did.)
With cheeks so red that they were almost purple, Sif gathered her courage and stepped into the bathroom with her arms covering her physique.
But given the fullness of her assets, she was hardly hiding anything at all.
Abaddon could very clearly make out the black and white micro bikini and thigh high socks that pooled nearly every drop of the blood in his body below his waist.
“…S-So I guess you do like it then. Lucky me…” Sif couldn’t lift her gaze up past her ex-husband’s navel no matter how hard she tried.
“Come here.” Abaddon said desperately.
“A-Aren’t you going to tell me what you were talking about first..?”
“Do you really give a fuck right now?”
“…N-No, tell me in the morning.”
–
As planned, another day went by where the men were preparing for their trip.
In the meantime, Abaddon was working hard to earn the permission of those outside of his romantic relationships.
“You can’t goooo!” Courtney wailed.
Abaddon looked down at the bite sized human girl who had been glued to his midsection for the better part of a few hours.
“She’s right, you can’t just leave us behind like this for so long! It’s child abuse!”
Abaddon then glanced at the second, much more grown up dragon girl who was still clinging to his back like a koala after an equally long amount of time.
” You two are being so silly… I’m not going away forever, and you will still be able to call me at any time you have need of me.”
“”Not good enough!””
Abaddon wasn’t really surprised that Courtney was behaving like this since she was still young, but Thrudd had come a bit out of left field for him.
Even Gabbrielle was no longer sad after a couple of embraces and a shoulder ride through the manor.
But when it came to these two, he was running out of ideas to pacify them.
“Excuse me..?”
The trio suddenly looked up at Thrudd’s bedroom door for a moment and found young Nubia standing within the frame.
“May I borrow our father for just a moment..?”
“Don’t let him leave!”
“Convince him not to go!”
Nubia blinked away her surprise at the firm rejection her father was facing at the hands of her sisters.
“O-Oh… I’ll do my best?”
With her hesitant agreement, the girls finally released Abaddon on a temporary basis and proper blood flow was restored to his neck and leg.
He escaped Thrudd’s room as fast as he could and stepped out into the hall with Nubia, where the two of them walked far enough away so that they couldn’t be overheard.
And Nubia, contrary to what she had just promised her sisters, immediately went back on her words.
“I heard that you and everyone else are supposedly going on a big trip really soon and I just wanted to ask if… Maybe you’d take Zheng with you..?”
