Mature Content Warning Mild Ero (no, I'm not just talking about the Fairy this time.) It is extraordinarily tame by my writing standards, but some might consider it to be more than they wished to witness.

Author's Notes: As of the last two chapters, Scott, Rhea, and Ero have entered into a more adult relationship. As such, their interactions while still mostly sweet and innocent will occasionally enter into the sort of territory you see here.

Don't expect this sort of scenery that often,(I'm sure some of you will be relieved to hear that) but sometimes if it feels important to the story, I'll add some tame scenes like this. It is important to the story in this chapter because it finishes solidifying the fact that all three of them are in an adult relationship and moving forward, without just paying lip-service to that fact.

Chapter 7.2: Family Meeting

--

Morning came with its customary rudeness, always at the crack of dawn. Why the sun never chose to sleep in late was a mystery to some people. Scott on the other hand, could not wait for morning to come. They were finally going to finish a few things.

The entire mermaid situation had been somewhat simplistic to resolve so far, really. He had expected things to lead to some sort of epic ordeal with boss monsters and things of that nature. As it turned out, it was just a series of interesting life events, just another day in a fantasy world.

Scott glanced down at his chest and saw Ero lying there spread-eagle. He glanced to his left and smiled. Rhea had cuddled next to him, her chin in the crook of his neck.

Life did not get much better than this. It had been a hard thing to accept someone in his life, especially someone as impossibly sweet as Rhea. Then there was Ero. She was an adorable and loving girl who constantly did things that made Scott want to hug the ever loving crap out of her. Thank you fairy much.

Scott leaned in and gently kissed Rhea on the lips then nuzzled her nose with his. Her eyes fluttered opened gently then she looked at him.

“Morning, Rhea.” said Scott softly.

Rhea smiled at him in a dreamy-eyed manner then kissed him softly on the lips as well. “Morning, Scott.”

“Did you have a good meeting with the fam?” he asked her, before slipping his hand down to gently stroke Ero’s lower back with his index finger.

Rhea chuckled sweetly then nodded. “Yeah, fun as always. They picked on me a little, though.”

“Oh? What about?” asked Scott.

She smiled. “Mostly about you and I finally doing more than just blush and giggle like a couple of teenagers.”

“Yeah we did.” He leaned in and Rhea closed her eyes gently while he kissed her softly on the side of the nose. Her cheeks became flush and she brought her hand up to clasp his cheek tenderly.

Scott smiled at her for a moment, but then his eyes widened in surprise when she said something he had not expected.

“What, seriously?”

“Yeah, is it OK?”

“Well, yes, but are you sure it’s a good idea? I mean... Meeting your family...”

“They’ll love you. Though, we should probably finish our current mission and then do some level grinding first. It will take a little time for them to assemble as their avatars are scattered across ARS.” said Rhea.

“Sounds good, we have to prepare things for the transfer and for Corpse Rat.” said Scott.

“Yeah, those guys need a serious butt-kicking. Most of the rest of the family wants in on it, so we should be able to take them down with a little effort.” said Rhea.

“Great. We can’t end them permanently, but we can make them pay for the crap that they pulled.” said Scott. Sadly, permanent death was not a thing for players in this world. The best they could do was kill them enough times to irritate the hell out of them, and to wreck their guild’s monopoly over Askrida.

Rhea yawned softly then sat up. The movement provided Scott with an incredible view of many of the reasons why he was such a lucky man. Her delightful curvature intrigued her man-toy greatly, but the soft smile and the way the light danced in her eyes were far more interesting to the man.

Scott reached up and placed his hand against her cheek. His thumb gently caressed her cheekbone while he reveled in the vision of loveliness before him. It was hard to believe that behind that extraordinarily well-crafted exterior was the heart and soul of a girl so innocent that she had spent decades pining for a guy like him, solely because he had been nice to her and protected her one time.

That sort of dedication, if nothing else that alone proved her inhuman nature. He could not think of anyone that he had ever met who could remain infatuated with anyone that long with no hope of ever meeting again.

“What are you thinking, Scott?” asked Rhea softly, before she reached down and gently placed her hand against his cheek as well.

A slight smile crossed his lips then slowly blossomed into one that was far more robust, and cheerful. “I don’t know how much time I have left. Things could go very wrong for me, in the future, but I am so glad that I met someone like you.”

Rhea’s eyes shimmered softly as she fought back the tears that threatened to fall. “I’m glad that I met you too, but don’t talk like something will happen to you.”

Scott nodded. “No matter what happens, I’ll always come back to you.”

“That’s... That’s much better.” said Rhea in a half-sobbed whisper. They had discussed the dangers in the classic server at length. There were few things that could cause a permanent death state for a player or someone like Scott, but they did exist and he would have to deal with them at times if he truly wished to protect ARS. There was a very real chance that she could lose him forever, that he would be destroyed so completely that even she could not bring him back.

“Rhea... there are problems with me that I still don’t really understand how to deal with, but with you and Ero beside me, I can do anything.” said Scott.

She leaned down and kissed him softly on the lips then whispered. “We’ll always be with you, Scott. You’ll always be with us, don’t you dare forget that.”

It was Scott’s turn to become a little misty-eyed. “Have I mentioned that you’re sort of cute when you’re bossy?”

Rhea smiled at him softly. “I’m the boss. Accept it with your body and soul.”

“Listen to this girl...” said Scott with a laugh.

Rhea laughed along with him for a moment then said, “So, how will you show the boss that you’re serious about the job?”

Scott slid his hand from her cheek down to her shoulder. He looked her in the eyes with a soft, but naughty expression, while he slipped his fingers further down to her back. Slowly, the tips of his fingers traced the gentle curvature of her ribs then continued down to stop at her hips.

The light in Rhea’s eyes seemed to dance as her smile changed something more intrigued that joyful. When Scott’s other hand slipped down to conquer the other side of her body her eyes widened but when his hands rose up to claim her supple rear she gasped aloud.

“I think the boss needs to understand more about my work ethic. She might need to watch me as I go through my daily grind in order to understand the depths of how long and hard I work.” said Scott casually.

Rhea gasped softly once again as Scott’s hands moved down to claim yet another place that had never been claimed until he had come into her life. “Y-yes, perhaps a lengthy staff review session is in order.”

Scott grinned at her. “I like how we do things together.”

She laughed in a somewhat husky, but melodic manner. “If every staff meeting was like this, I’d like to go to work more often.”

“My little Rhea would become such a workaholic.” said Scott lightly.

“Since when am I little? Hmm?” She leaned down and pressed her nose against his.

“I’m bigger than you.” said Scott simply.

“Well, there is that...” she whispered hotly before pressing her lips to his.

While Scott continued to state his claim with his exploratory fingers, Rhea did the same with her delicate tip of her tongue. They shared a warm, lingering kiss, for a moment before a tiny little voice cried out for help.

Rhea leaned back a little and both her and Scott looked down. Ero looked up at them and gasped for air.

The little fairy called out. “I nearly died again!”

Scott tried his best not to laugh but he had to say what he was thinking. “Yeah, but what a way to go!”

“You’d be ok with being smothered to death by Rhea’s giant honkers?” cried out Ero.

“Yes. Yes, I would.” said Scott with a grin.

Rhea’s face turned bright red and she shook her head slowly from side to side. “They aren’t that big.”

“They’re still bigger than me!” exclaimed Ero.

Rhea started to cross her arms, but Scott stopped her. He caught her hands and shook his head before he said, “Nope.”

“Scott?” asked Rhea in confusion.

“I’m not done with those yet. It would be unfair to try and take them away now.” he said lightly.

“That’s just something you’ll have to learn to deal with.” she said softly without making any effort to close her arms again.

“You can claim to be the boss of me all you like, but I’m the boss of these.” he said lightly before slipping his hands down to gently caress his new pillowy and bountiful subordinates.

Rhea’s face began to burn with the embarrassment of the moment and turned her head away, but she relaxed a little after the moment passed. She had to admit that she did not hate what was happening right now. Masculine and sexually aggressive Scott was kind of nice...

Of course, he ruined it a little with his customary goof ball antics. “I wonder if this is how Neil Armstrong felt when he managed to stepped down on the moon.”

“Huh?” asked Rhea. She turned her head back to look at him, confusion evident on her face.

Scott continued to caress her gently while he said, “He’s the only other guy I know who’s ever been this close to a heavenly body.”

Rhea blinked slowly once then froze up a little. Her face, already red from embarrassment, grew a little hotter then she looked down. She started to breathe heavily in and out for a moment then finally snorted and started to laugh.

“Not gonna slap me around and tell me I’m stupid?” asked Scott in a slightly disappointed tone.

Instead of doing that, she pulled him to her and kissed him sweetly on the lips, before she said, “You’re the stupidest boy ever... but you’re my stupid boy.”

Ero smiled softly at their antics. She was too small to properly join in at the moment, sadly, but she truly enjoyed seeing the two of them get along so well. “Hey, save some of that stupid for me.”

“Sure, how much?” asked Rhea with a grin.

“Just a little bit. I’m not that big right now.” said Ero before she tilted her head to the side and smiled cutely.

The trio shared a happy laugh at that, and then continued to chat freely. They spoke of life, love, business, size changing fairy BFFs, and Rhea’s epic elf boobs.

As the conversation continued Ero smiled softly to herself. It was nice to hear them getting along, but she did not like what she had heard Scott admit earlier before the breast massages and other interesting conversations had begun.

The idea that he might not make it through the coming days was greatly unsettling for her. A life without Scott was not something she wanted to contemplate, especially now that she had finally gotten to see what all the interesting fuss was about when it came to adult relationships. Rhea’s super boobs were not the only thing larger than life in this room, and she had enjoyed every bit of that revelation.
