***Former Council Base, now a holiday resort for exhausted Gods and Deities***

***Aengus***

I knew it! This goddess is meant for me!

I felt it when I first saw her! She was the ideal woman who represented everything I was searching for in a partner. She was nice and polite despite my appearance, and most importantly, I quickly realized that she is completely ignorant of Chimeran politics!

Aside from paying random visits to her mortal family, she also proved to be a hard-working and reliable person.

As long as she stays that way I have a chance with her.

In the end, I almost couldn't make up my resolve to confess to her. It would have been too stupid if I had just kept admiring her!

So, I feared no costs and took her to the best restaurant I know of! The Final Stand was built on the site of the last battle between the Calamity's minions and the Alliance's forces, allowing the visitors to watch the historical site while they dine. Funnily enough, the imposing site is rumoured to be created by the most epic headbutt that was ever delivered.

I am so lucky that I found Sharid before she learned enough about the world of gods. Most goddesses run once they recognize me. As a recently ascended goddess, she hasn't yet learned of the rumours about the Chimeran's royal family.

And she is super cute too. My heart actually skipped a beat when I saw her for the first time.

As we wait for the food, I give her my life's story in a slightly censored version while staying as close to the truth as possible. Like, leaving out the fact that I am an actual prince or that the infamous Angrod is my father.

Somehow, I manage to skirt around the truth while keeping the gem I seek satisfied.

It would be nice if she fell for me without thinking that she could make a really big catch by striking a match with the first prince of one of the multiverse's major powers.

As we talk, I just can't take my eyes away from her perfect body. Her face is top class, but that body of hers! That dark brown hair with the white lock just adds to her charm! I could look forever into those hazel eyes or at those tits.

I hope those lecherous thoughts aren't too apparent on my face.

Aside from that, she has quite some skills as a spellweaver, even if her art takes time to perform! She loves singing and magic. In the end, it feels like we talked for hours about our magical arts and various interests, so I decide to change the scenery to something more private.

Done with the food, I shift the conversation towards a place I always wanted to share with the one I love and use a pathway to once more whisk her away to another part of this planet.

We appear on a lonely beach, which clearly bemuses Sharid who doesn't waste time and takes off her shoes.

Actually, the beach was Seria's suggestion. If I ever found a nice girl, I should take her here. She mentioned that the scenery is very romantic! It's hard to admit, but I don't have a clue about romance myself. I completely rely on my sister's guidance in these matters.

“That moon was something else!” Sharid comments in a pleased voice while walking shoulder to shoulder with me.

“Ah, yes! I think it was damaged in the great war with the Calamity some time ago. Some idiot decided to show off his power and gave it a headbutt.” I chuckle, at least that is the official version. If Father didn't lie to me the truth wasn't any less funny.

“A headbutt!?” Sharid snickers. “Just who in the world can shatter a moon with a headbutt?”

“Officially, one of the Calamity's minions did it, but in truth Carne, Leader of the Empire, threw the minion at the moon and... well... the rest is history. Don't tell that to anyone, though.” I place my fingers on my lips, wanting her to realize that this is a little secret.

“I am glad that you took me on this date,” Sharid admits, making my heart soar to new heights with pride.

I stop her there on the beach. “I really like you Sharid, and I wish for us to be more than just co-workers.”

Then our eyes meet and I somehow lose myself in her irises.

Is it okay? I dare to softly touch her cheeks and pull her closer, kissing her.

“Aengus... there... is...” Sharid tries to tell me something, but I don't want this moment to be ruined by some kind of rejection. I reach around her hips, pulling her body against mine and letting her know just how serious I am.

Then I lower her onto her sandy beach, all the way sealing her lips with mine. Before I know it, I have her on the ground with me on top between her spread thighs!

Oh! This is bad! That wasn't gentleman-like at all! What if she hates me now?

“You don't have to look so troubled, Aengus. Could it be that you are actually quite innocent? That's cute!” Sharid grabs my head and smiles at me.

Fuck it! Haven't I learned anything from my past self? Being the nice guy doesn't get me anything in this world. If I want a woman, I have to show her that I mean it!

I kiss her neck, inhaling her scent as I rub my hips against hers, trying my best to get that damned skirt of hers out of the way.

“Aengus... I... haven't told... you...” Sharid once more tries to tell me something, caught in my embrace.

I also still have to tell her that I am a prince, but she is squirming in a way that drives me mad!

“Hush!” I whisper into her ear and cover her mouth. “We have all the time in the world to talk later.” I finally reach her panties and pull them aside to massage her.

“~Aahh~.” She moans through my hand, her eyes turning delirious.

Then she pulls my hand away. “I don't care anymore! It's stupid to do this on the first date, but I think I fell head over heels in ~love~ with you!” Her hands move down to my trousers her face turns red with anticipation!

Then her eyes regain some sense. “But I really should tell-”

I push my finger deep inside her and another deep kiss to seal her lips shuts her up.

“Please don't kill the mood now,” I beg her and hold her down while rubbing my length against her entrance.

Sharid looks deep into my eyes as we grind our bodies together, her moving like a Goddess of Lust beneath me, driving me almost insane.

We kiss and touch, exploring each other until I grab her hands and force them to the ground while my hips start moving on their own. She gasps and arches her back, creating the perfect angle. Then I am inside her, sliding in and out in rhythm with her screams of pleasure. I would kill anybody who dared to interrupt us right now.

When I bury my forehead in her bosom, I realize that there's blood where we are connected. How can someone like her be a virgin!? I hope I didn't hurt her too much, but her screams of lust tell me that she isn't hurt.

Shaking, her legs come up and lock around me as I plow her fertile fields, knocking onto her gates to heaven. Her tongue is inside my mouth and a fiery pulsating wave of pleasure shoots through my entire being while she tightens around me as if she is trying to wring me out while I unload everything I have to give again and again.

Then I fall on top of her and slowly start regaining control over myself. Sharid is still shuddering under me, having taken all of me. I reach down to her ass, holding onto it as I push deep into her one more time, revelling in the feeling of having this Goddess. Whatever confessions we might have for each other, I am sure we can pull through.

It takes some time, but finally, she calms down. “Haaah... that... felt magnificent! So what was your big secret, Aengus?” Sharid asks with gasping breaths while I rest panting on top of her.

Well, I guess the shit will hit the fan sooner or later anyway. No better time than now. “I am the Prince of Chimera.”

Sharid's face turns expressionless from one moment to the next and her satisfied smile vanishes as if she just bit into a lemon which came straight from the Infernal Planes. “Oh, shit. I guess that explains a few things... and that makes everything a lot more complicated.” She groans “I am such an idiot!”

I squint my eyes and push my upper body up so that we can face each other properly. “And your secret?”

She starts playing with her fingers in front of her exposed chest, which is my fault since I stripped her clothing in the throes of passion. Her legs are still locked around me when she attempts to speak, clears her throat when she isn't satisfied with her tone, and tries again, setting a cheerful yet irritated tune.

“~~Apparently, I am the reincarnation of El Shaddai. Though I don't remember anything of my previous self. And somehow, inexplicably, I managed to fall for one of only a handful of people who I should stay the hell away from.~~”

Her eyes narrow in introspection. “It was her! It must have been her doing! There is no way in hell that she didn't know that her brother is working on the very same assignment!”

Now my face turns expressionless. El Shaddai? El Shaddai... there was something about an El Shaddai in my father's past. “Oh...”

“~Oh...~ Yes, that sums it up pretty well,” Sharid grumbles, petting my cheek, clearly trying to cheer me up as my mind draws a blank.

***Former Council Base, now a holiday resort for exhausted Gods and Deities***

***Sharid***

Aengus's expression clouds over as he considers my revelation. He softens and pulls out of me, then rolls over to sit next to me on the beach, holding his palms to his temples as he watches the ocean with gloomy eyes.

I sit up and study the mess we made. “There is no chance in hell that I am not pregnant with my luck.”

Feeling more than a little trepidation at the possibility, I try to get my clothes back in order but admit defeat soon after.

Then I wait, sitting next to Aengus while he tries to get his thoughts back in order.

After a few minutes of heavy silence with nothing but the sound of the sea's waves rushing against the shore, I start fearing that I broke my beloved.

He hasn't talked since my confession! Just what did I do!? I should have thought beforehand about how to tell him that he just fucked a gender-bent gal! That should be a considerable blow to any man's ego.

But somehow, I got caught up in the moment and the atmosphere! I am not the only one at fault here; just why did he have to finish inside without protection on the first date! Who does that? Not thinking for a single second! It was also him who held my mouth shut when I tried to tell him.

It's certainly not like this is my fault alone.

Then I force myself to see the situation from his point of view.

I know for myself that I am female, but Aengus knows me only as a male character! And I just told him that I was El Shaddai in my previous life. No wonder he went instantly limp when I dropped that line on him! I am such a horrible woman!

Will he get it up ever again? Did I just cause a permanent trauma? That would be a shame.

For most males that should have been a one hundred percent fatal mental blow!

I wave my hand in front of his face, getting no reaction!

~Bad~!

I have to reassure him that the current me is one hundred percent female. Of course, his true identity was a shock for me too! My mind blanked out for a moment, but it had less impact. I truly didn't lie when I said that I fell for him! I am such a worthless woman! Giving my first love-interest a serious trauma right after our first fuck.

“Aengus, please talk to me! You don't have to be so down!” I grab his hand but he shows no resistance, allowing me to manipulate his arm. “I am sorry! You have to understand that I am a one hundred percent complete girl! And I will stay that way! I have no interest in my old self, I don't even have any memories of that time! The only reason why I know is that others told me.” I place his hand on my cheek and keep talking, trying my best to explain myself.

Ah! He is rubbing his temple with his other hand! That is a good sign, right? I didn't give him the death blow!

He finally sighs, apparently returning from whatever horrid place his mind was visiting. “I am sorry, Sharid. It isn't about that. Well, it was a shock. But it isn't about that,” Aengus mumbles in his usual gentle voice. “I got to know you well enough during that year in which we were working together.”

I cup his face between my hands. “You can do everything you want to me. I am so sorry. It's okay if you are as rough as before.” Just remembering him holding me down makes me hot all over again. “Actually, I like it rough! The pain wasn't an issue! It even turned me on! ~Gehehe~, is there a way to restore my virginity?”

Aaahhn! Just remembering him breaking my maidenhood... I never felt like that before!

“The pain from when you ~stabbed~ into me transformed into pure pleasure and I couldn't get ~enough~ of it. Haaa. Haa.” I realize that I am drooling and wipe my face with my sleeve. “Maybe you are even up for a little rougher play? Of course, only if it doesn't turn you off.”

I draw a little circle on his chest, unable to properly face him. I can't look into his eyes right now. What if he hates me for that new side of mine.

Aengus smiles wryly at me and wipes something out of my face. Then he pulls me towards him and positions me between his legs while hugging me from behind. “Sharid? What are your divinities?”

I realize that I just allowed one of my more embarrassing traits to leak through. “Ahem, it's embarrassing. I am a complete pervert. I got Lust, Masochism and Sadism as my divinities. I am so sorry that you fell for someone worthless like me!” I hope he won't hate me now.

But instead, Aengus starts giggling. “That matches with my Heroic, Torment and Zeal. Have you ever tried to use some ~instruments~?”

“Nooo! You were my first time! How could I have had the chance! But you seem to be fine now. Why were you so down if it wasn't about my previous self? I assure you that you screwed a woman! See?” I grab his hands and place them on my chest, allowing him to have a feel.

Aengus sighs but doesn't remove his hands. “I was just considering how to tell my family about my soon to be fiancée. That, and I also tried to figure out how we ended up like that.”

“F- ~Fiancée~?” I squeal and hold onto his hands a little tighter.

“Of course! You don't want to tell me that you don't like the idea?” Aengus grumbles. “I am afraid that there is no way of getting away from me now.”

“Haah? It's not like that. It's just... don't you think this is moving a little too quickly!?” I start fiddling with his fingers. This is really going out of hand.

“And what was that about a pregnancy earlier? Do you really think that a single screw-up is enough for a visit to baby-town?”

“Ahem, yeah...” I clear my throat. “Have I mentioned this fertility-curse of mine?”

“Oh, well. I am the Prince of Chimera and we will get through whatever lies in our future. While the Chimeran society may be a little lax in regards to royalty, I can't have a relationship with someone without commitment.” Aengus hugs me tight. “The only thing I am worried about is how to get my family on our side.”

“I... I see. Your father will kill ~meeeee~,” I whine, reminded that I just fucked Angrod's son. “First I had to endure all those curses for my entire life. And now I will show up as his daughter in law! He will execute me on the spot and see to it that I get an even worse reincarnation!” I start shivering when I think about what that guy will do to me.

Aengus quickly tries to calm me down. “Father isn't the problem.”

“Huh? How is the King of Gods who cursed me and quite obviously hates me not a problem!?”

“Father is vain and vindictive, but he can be dealt with if we have my mother on our side. I don't think that he harbours a serious grudge against you anyway!” Aengus comments.

“Not a serious grudge? Well, then let me tell you...” I start rattling off the list of curses and the trials I had to face in my life.

Aengus snorts, clearly not impressed. “He just gave you a few strange curses and tampered with your reincarnation. He is an oddball and a bad winner. Do you want to know what he did with the guy who was responsible for his father's death?” Aengus chuckles a little.

“Okay...” Angrod is capable of doing worse than what I had to endure? “I thought we gods are immortal?” I am sure that I will regret this. “Is there a way to back out of this. What you are telling me doesn't exactly boost my confidence in meeting your father.”

“His father was mortal at the time. So, his soul lost all its memories and that's equivalent to dying for real. Anyway, Angrod caged the poor fellow's soul who he held responsible in a crystal ball and tortured him for decades while carrying him around in his pocket. That's what my father calls holding a grudge. He would be still carrying him around if grandma hadn't put an end to it by taking the crystal away from him.” Aengus ends his lengthy explanation.

Okay. If the Godking is capable of something like that I got away with a little scratch. “One moment. What happened to the crystal ball after your grandma took it? Isn't she the wife of his father? Doesn't she have an equally big grudge against the guy inside that crystal ball?”

Aengus doesn't answer for some time, “Actually, I haven't seen the crystal ball ever since...”

“~Waaaa!~ So you tell me that your father isn't the problem? I am getting the feeling that your whole family will be a problem!” I will hit the dead-end!

“I am more worried about the reaction of my mother and my grandmothers! Mother isn't exactly a stable personality after her soul was injured. We may have to get the help of my sisters to get her on our side.” Aengus scratches his cheek.

“Actually, Seria owes you a favour anyway!” I point out, sharing my suspicions. “She gave me that guild-job on that planet where we met! So, if she knew that you were there too...”

Aengus finishes the sentence for me.

“... she set us up! Well, I expected that already. She is always up to something, playing her little games. I thought that she was influencing the mortals, trying to ruin my assignment. I admit that she got me good this time.”

“You and your sister seem to have a strange relationship. You know that, don't you?” I grumble.

Aengus growls. “We will find her and have a little word with her. But first I have to check something out.” He pushes me forward. “Get on all fours.”

“Eh?” I fidget but do as I was told and when he starts pulling at my clothes I get a little guarded. “I think that we have already established that I am a woman outside and inside.”

“Yeah, but there is this little thing about Chimeran physiology that I never got to truly test out.” He suddenly thrusts, slamming all the way into me and I get knocked into the sand with a pitched squeak of surprise.

“Wha!?” I try to hold my thoughts together while he starts working, firmly holding onto my rear.

Aengus grins. “I was wondering how many times I can go before I run out of fuel.”
