"Ohhh~ It looks nice!"
"It is cute, isn't it?"
Within the Merchant Ward of Ul'dah, Minfilia had purchased a small building with her savings. I offered to pay in her stead, but was instantly denied.
The building structure was simple. A cross shape, 4 hallways, 3 of which ended in a square room. The last hallway, the one we were walking down, led to the front entrance of the building. There were a couple of wooden stools sat next to the wall and a red cushioned bench leaned upright on the other side of the hallway.
Thick wooden doors encased in steel hinges and decor sat at each room entryway. Small ornate pendant lights dotted the ceilings and softly glowing warm yellow crystal scones sat on the walls, adding a warm atmosphere to the space. Though nothing could distract from the layer of dust that settled on pretty much everything.
"It needs carpet does it not?"
"Yes, boss."
"Hehe, boss, I like that~"
We walked straight on into a large room with basically no furniture save for a desk that was longer than I was tall. Frosted glass windows stood at ease behind it, filtering the light and stealing its color, letting the crystals on the walls do the talking.
"So this is to be the Antecedent's Chamber?"
"It's certainly..."
"Spacious?"
"Yeah."
"Agreed. Cold as well."
"Are you cold?"
"No, I meant the room is...hm..."
"Barren."
"Yes! Quite barren!"
I nodded my head. There wasn't much to see. Worn sandstone blocks for the walls and simple sandstone bricks for the floor. The room wasn't entirely square, but it left nothing to the imagination.
"Do you think it needs a wall or two?"
"Hm..."
Minfilia tilted her head, slightly shaking her blonde braids that she wore in a loose bun.
"Maybe not...? I'm not sure...I'll have to consult Kan-E."
"She really enjoys designing interiors, doesn't she?"
"Heavens' breath, you don't know the full extent of it! We scrapped over that dining room for ages!"
"Finally met your match, ey?"
"Hmph, you speak as if you didn't have the most to say about the kitchenette."
"Well, that's different."
Minfilia turned to me and narrowed her eyes skeptically.
"Oh, pray tell~"
"Nevermind."
"I beg of you, truly, pray tell~"
I shut my mouth and walked around the desk, a smirking Minfilia on my heels. As a man, it was important to know which battles to fight with your woman, and which battles to drop as soon as possible. That balance was one of the many factors that kept a loving and passionate relationship alive.
"You'd probably need a receptionist, to manage a building of this size..."
"Hm..."
"How about Tataru?"
"Tataru?"
"Yes, I'm sure we could pay her far better than that desk job she works now, right?"
Sun Tap was already spreading around somewhat. I had a healthy cash-flow coming in, enough to employ more than a few employees. The next move was to move the Suns of Yda into the true home I had in mind for them. A dungeon that we would conquer and turn into a stronghold against the dark that came after the Calamity.
Paying for Tataru's employment wasn't much of a dent in our finances.
"But-"
kiss
I stopped her words with a simple kiss. Placing my hands on the small of her back, I brought my Minfilia deep into my embrace. Minfilia had her pride, and wanted to do many things on her own, but when I was around-
"Rely on me."
"...I-Oh...Uhm! Y-Yes!"
Minfilia blushed fiercely, her eyes bounced around the room like crazy, avoiding my own.
kiss-slurrrp-kiiiss-churp
I couldn't resist stealing her soft pink lips once more, taking her tongue into my mouth with a habitual familiarity. The small nuances of its shape that influenced her speech were already known to me.
pop
We parted wistfully and locked eyes. My forehead stayed planted on hers as we basked in the moment, periodically touching noses and smiling coyly.
"You cannot do that when the others are about."
"Why not?"
"B-Because...!"
"Because why?~"
"You...You just can't! Okay?!"
"Hm...~"
We flirted back and forth for a while, marking the room with our romance and forcing the walls to watch the horrifying romance-comedy show in front of them.

"And who are you?"
"I'm Winter."
"Is this man bothering you?"
"..."
Miounne shook her head in silence, refusing to open her mouth.
"My~ You're quite rude, aren't you?"
I taunted the man who was strutting around with an air of arrogance. I came here today to claim Miounne for myself after all. Since I lived in Gridania, I wasn't going to let some other man be happy by letting her go free.
I changed my mind, and anyone who resisted would learn the extent of training that I already roughly pounded into my woman's soul. Miounne was dyed pink and the color couldn't wash out.
Was this guy a victim? Or was this simply bad timing? I didn't care much either way. He was rapidly degrading my good mood.
"Who do you think you are, pretty boy?"
"Are you so stupid that you forgot already?"
"Do you even know who I am?!"
"I assure you, that I do not give a damn."
"Miss Miounne, surely you can see the problem with this-!"
"..."
Miounne once again remained mute. If she spoke at that moment, a thick spluttering of my cum would splash all over this idiot's face. He should've been thanking me quite honestly. If I didn't cast Purify before he showed up, what we were getting up to would've been obvious.
"Listen buddy, I have too many things to discuss with Miounne and you're a delay."
"Who the hells are you to call her that so casually?!"
"A very good friend. And who are you to stop me?"
"Miss Miounne is-"
"gulp-gulp-pah I'm not."
I sneakily grabbed Miounne's meaty ass and squeezed hard, conveying my intent to fill up her mouth again after this idiot buzzed off. Then I'd thrash my hips wildly trying to crush her womb with my cock. I squeezed her plush rear even harder thinking about it.
"But-"
"Mister Colson, I've humored you and your strange advances so as not to hurt your feelings, but I fear that I am already a slave to my passions. There's no room in my heart for more."
"But! Then who is this guy?!"
The plain looking man pointed at me with an indignant expression on his face. I moved my finger to stroke Miounne's stuffy pussy through her pants. This guy must've been blind.
"Do you really want to know?~"
I asked him point blank. It was just us three in the room at the moment. If I commanded my bitch to get on her knees and service me in front of this smooth brain, then she would.
But at the same time, I wasn't trying to make extra enemies.
Well, if he answered wrongly, I'd let him see how I filled Miounne's womb with ropes of my baby batter over and over again. He could weep all alone knowing exactly how I preferred to hit her sweet spots and how hard I bit down on her soft breasts.
"I-I...!... "
"Mister Colson, I believe that we are done here."
Her face was the definition of hardened professionalism, stern enough to intimidate me slightly as well. It's common sense to stay on Mommy's good side. If this idiot apologized faithfully, it wouldn't have been impossible to get a pity date or something eventually, but as was always the case, he became indignant instead.
He stomped off in a fury, slamming the office door on the way out.
SLAM
I didn't bother wasting time asking who that was. I'd get to the bottom of that idiot's identity soon enough. He had enough bite to be a good Inquisitor, and could be broken down and smelted into something new.
"Service."
"Yes, Master~"
Her entire demeanor shifted upon my order. Her cold eyes melted into syrup and sweetness. With a practiced ease, Miounne pulled my meat stick out of my pants and stuffed it down her long throat with vigor.
SLUUURRRP-GLUUUURK-THUCK-PLAPTHUCKPLOP-SLUUUURP-PLAPLAPTHUCKSLAPTHRUST-SLUUUUURP
Miounne's thick lips perfectly sealed my cock all the way to the base, her tongue coiled and pushed hard against my glans as I kept pushing her head down forcefully.
The soft cushioning of her face being slammed against my pubes sent shockwaves that hit the very marrow of my bones and made me light on my feet.
Her tongue acted as a sloppy orchestrator, guiding my length down the depths of her throat, scraping against every soft patch of tissue and hurriedly coercing me for her favorite drink.
SPLUPLUUUUUURRRRT-PUUUPMLLPMP-SLUUUURRRRP-SLUCK-THUCK-PUUUUMP-SLUUUURP-SPLUUUUURRT
"GAH! FUCK!"
Incredible. Miounne continued to work my love stick with her throat, the tip of her tongue stroked the underside of my member, evoking a toe curling pleasure that dragged a gutteral curse from my mouth. The suction of her seductive mouth ensured that not a single drop of my seed escaped.
I wondered if that idiot put his ear up to the door to eavesdrop on us after her left. A dark flame burned in my heart, seeking to dominate and do lingering harm. I let it take over my thoughts.
"Good girl~ You can swallow, because I want to fuck your face again~"
"Mpmm~ SLUUUURP-GGLUCK-GULP-SLUUURRRRP-GULP"
"Ugh, what a slutty mouth..."
I spoke like that just in case. I could be reckless at times, petty too.
But I put all the blame on whatever his name was.

"Momo-neeeeee~"
"Hm?"
A head that was as big as half her body popped up on her desk. Light pink wavy hair and lovable periwinkle eyes. They were squinted slightly with a hint of mischief dancing within like cheeky spirits with nothing to do.
"Hi~"
"Hello~"
Sometimes, her brother would pop up like this and peer at her work for a while. Momodi couldn't stop the smile from growing on her face.
"Got nothin' better to do?"
"I probably do, but I don't wanna."
"Hehe, at least you're honest."
Momodi was whisked away to what she advised to be named Cherub Manor not too long ago. A large house built entirely with stone and hardwood. 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, incredible furnishings that seemed to have been handed down from Kan-E's parents, and lush rugs that could drown Momodi with how soft they were.
Only 2 of the 6 bedrooms were in use at the moment. 1 was for F'lhaminn who was dragged along, for unclear purposes, and the other was a bed that took up almost half of the room. Momodi almost fainted at the sight. She didn't want to know what her big little brother was doing in that room.
Even kings kept their courtesans and concubines in different dwellings. But what was this? What kind of harem worked in this way? She had never read anything like it!
"Should I write a book?"
"Oohh! That sounds fun!"
She would have to write about her findings herself. Momodi Modi the Eternal Scholar. Housewives all across Eorzea would undoubtedly scoop up her tales with maniacal fervor.
"What will it be about?"
'You and your bizarre escapades in love.'
"I'm not sure just yet. Probably a whimsical character and how they tended to stumble into strange 'bouts of success."
"Like a monkey's paw?"
"What's that?"
Winter cleared his throat slightly.
"The story goes, that a family stumbled upon a severed monkey's paw that promised to grant them three wishes. However, each wish fulfilled came along with an unforseen consequence."
"Like what?"
"Wishing for 2 million gil, your son loses his life in a freak accident, and the compensation you get for that accident is the 2 million gil."
"Oh, a deal with the hells?"
"Exactly."
"Well, I didn't have anythin' that grim in mind. I cannot deny that the theme is close."
"It sounds interesting either way, Momo-nee~"
"Oh you!"
