The Deity Entertainment Network Chapter 242 – Fifty Shades Of Wayne

"How are you not out of breath?" Chris asked him after they stopped running a fairly significant distance outside of the town.

"A lot of training and so magical assistance." He replied, then deposited his cargo on the ground. He had to cycle healing magic for a bit to maintain the pace for as long as he had, but it was worth it to get away from the crowd of onlookers, who had gathered to watch their spectacle. "As for you two, what in the world was that about? You too, Chris. That was unacceptable." He glared down at both Darkness and Aqua, flas of mana shooting out of the side of his eye. He was livid, the fifteen-minute run doing nothing to cool down his anger at being embarrassed in public by these three.

Neither of his forr cargo answered him, nor would et his glare, so he rounded on Chris. "You know damn well I didn't offer you healing to give you an orgasm. That was just an excuse so we could talk in private. Why would you throw gas on the fire like that? What in the world did I ever do to deserve that from you?"

"I... I... thought it was kind of funny." She stamred. The goddess shrank back from his raging form, actually seeming worried that he was going to hurt her. That kind of hurt, but this attitude needed to be checked now, and he was too pissed to try and take a more rational approach.

It’s not like I could actually hurt a goddess. God, is she playing with , too?

"Really? You thought it would be funny to make a dozen people think I'm so sort of pervert? We barely know each other. Why would that be okay?" He replied, looming over her. "I'm disappointed in you, Chris, and I think the goddess Eris would be as well. Doesn’t she teach people to be kind, polite, noble and industrious?"

"She... does."

"Then maybe before you start playing pranks on , you get to know a bit better! Aqua. You know damn well I didn't cast magic on you to give you an orgasm. It was to heal your body after you were dragged around the city behind a cart. Was saying that shit just to get back at for not letting you manipulate anymore and making you take so responsibility for your own survival? If it was, go ahead and turn your ass back to the city right now. I have no further use for soone like you." He said, standing over the prone goddess as the venom ca from his voice.

"John, I... I didn't think it would be that big of a deal."

"Not a big deal? You just called a sex offender in front of people, then started beating like I was guilty of it. The only reason I’m not smacking your ass until it's purple right now is that I said I would give you until after the giant toad cull to prove to you could change. You're on shaky ground right now; I expect better from soone like you."

*SOB* "I'M SORRY!"

"Save it. Your crocodile tears no longer work on , Ma'am." He growled.

He then turned his ire towards Darkness. She was kneeling in front of him, shaking slightly, looking like she was horrified at herself. Holding his anger in check, he knelt down in front of her and lifted her chin to force her to look at him. He needed her attention. "Darkness, I know you have a problem and have a hard ti helping yourself, but there has to be sothing we can do to reduce these kinds of outbursts. Do you believe you would be more receptive to so sort of punishnt and reward system?"

"What... what do you an?"

He activated his card skill and looked at her likes and dislikes again, nodding to himself.

This might work if she buys into it. God, I wish I really were a therapist or a psychiatrist. I doubt I'll find one of those in a dieval world.

"Well, traditional punishnts won't work on you; those would almost act like rewards. What is sothing you truly can't stand?"

She thought about it for a mont, then murmured sothing under her breath.

"What was that?"

"Lalatina. It's my real na."

"It's a very pret-"

"DON'T! I hate it. It's too cute. I'm a Crusader, I don't want to be seen as soone who is cute."

"So you don't want to be seen as cute? So being called by your na, wearing a cute dress, maybe so flowers in your hair, would be a punishnt for you?"

"I... Yes, I would almost rather die."

"Do you think you would be able to hold your outburst in if that were the consequence of your actions? At least in public."

"What? You an, if I lose my decorum, I have to wear a dress?"

"A cute dress. In public, while being called by your na. Or if that is too close to letting your secret out, maybe a nickna. Lala? Tina? Sothing like that."

"I really don't like that."

"And I really don't like being called a two-tir, philanderer, and a liar. This is ant to deter you from losing yourself, a punishnt if you do it again. Do you think that threat would be enough to help you keep your head?"

"It...might. Do I have a choice?"

"You always have a choice. I won't force you to do this; it has to be by your own volition that you accept that this is what needs to be done to change how you think. We can stop whenever you want, but if you choose to do this, don't back out of it just to avoid your punishnt. You need to give it a chance to see if it will help you."

"And what about my rewards? You did say there are rewards, right?"

"Well... I did say that. What do you think would be a good reward?"

"I... want you to do things to . Not in public, but in private."

"Darkness... I-"

"No, please, hear out. I have been closer to you than any other man in my life. You were my first kiss, my first groping, my first ti. I want you to tie up, humiliate , choke and slap around. Then have you use your healing magic on to finish off. When you took , then left to my sha in the bath, I knew. I knew you were the man for . That is the reward I want."

"You know we didn't actually have sex, right? Nothing went inside of you; it was just an accident, all of it. Besides, I'm dating Luna, and I heard the church doesn't look kindly on polygamy."

"That is true, but we are being much more... open about it these days. We have a population crisis after all." Chris said, interrupting their conversation before she could reply.

"Since when? The Axis church still sees that as a sin!" Aqua said, aghast at the thought.

"Actually, they don't. They were the first ones to see the issue and have tried to win over so of the Eris Church followers with their new, more liberal doctrine. We had to change with the tis to keep our flock with us." Chris replied.

"What? Why I outta. John, you need to go defeat the Devil King right now! I can't fix this from here!"

John ignored the goddesses, staring into the azure eyes in front of him. She looked desperate, wanting to change but unable to do it on her own. There was no draw from the canon right now, so any decision he made would be his own.

Why am I always a sucker for blondes with beautiful eyes?

"If I agree to this, you and I will get to know each other better." He said, holding the side of her face in his hand, grazing her plump lips with his thumb. "I have so secrets to tell you, and you can decide afterward if you want to remain with . Now, I'm not a two-tir, but I won't be giving up being with Luna. So you will need to learn to share my ti with her and possibly others." He continued, pushing his thumb into her mouth. She accepted it, sucking on it eagerly.

"Nor is this going to just be a deal to help you out. I don't do casual relationships. If we do this, we will get married at so point, and you will have my children. I love love and romance, but recently I have noticed I do have a bit of a sadistic side, so this will... work for as well."

She was completely enraptured with his words, sucking his thumb absently even with this slight show of dominance. Her eyes were half closed, her breathing was steady, and she looked... content.

"So, I'll help you. In private, you can let your issues happen, but in public, you will hold them in check. If you can't hold it in, you will wear a dress in public, and I will call you by cute nas while we go on dates. If you can hold it in... I will reward you when the ti is appropriate and as I see fit. Do you agree?"

"Mmmhmm..." She murmured, not releasing his thumb. Little John was getting hard, the stupid thing wanting to replace his thumb imdiately.

"Good girl. Now for your first punishnt. Close your eyes." He said, pulling his thumb out of her mouth.

"My... punishnt?" She asked, looking up at him in a daze.

"Yes. You embarrassed . I'm not letting that slide. Now, close your eyes. I'm not asking again." He said roughly. After she complied, he moved to the side of the road. There were patches of pink and purple wild flowers along this stretch, so he snapped a few lengths of them and returned to the kneeling woman. "Stay still."

"Yes, Sir." She replied. He started threading the flowers through her hair, making her look a bit cuter in the process. He probably could have made a wreath with them, but he didn't want to dick around much longer. He planned on being at that village before lunch, and ti was wasting.

"I never would have thought that she would have been fixed with... flowers," Chris said, watching John work.

"Fixed? What is wrong with her? What did I even watch here?"

"She gets pleasure from pain, among other things. It's pretty tragic how badly it has consud her life."

"Oh. Well, Axis accepts people of all kinds; she is welco to join whenever she wants."

"She is one of my- of Eris's most devout followers. There is no need for her to join that cult."

"The Axis Church is not a cult! They follow the senior goddess after all."

"Of course. Aqua has her own devout followers; there's no need to steal more of Eris's."

The two of them bickered for a few more minutes as John decorated his Crusader in flowers, wondering if this was the right choice to make. He almost wanted to take it all back and just continue on this journey on his own, but he had a few plans for HOTD that, if he got the chance, he would need the two goddesses' help to make happen. With Eris with them, he hoped he would be able to get so coherent answers; despite her divinity, Aqua seed rather slow. She didn't seem to realize Chris was actually Eris, or even what was happening inside of her own church.

"Will you two stop it. Aqua, since you haven't left yet, you follow now, rember? I won't put up with this petty bickering." John said absently as he finished up with his flower arrangent.

"I ah... what? I didn't agree to that?"

"Are you sure? Your begging to join on this trip tells sothing different. Or are you telling that was all a lie as well?"

"Ahh... no... I really don't want to be left alone."

"Good. Now stop arguing, or else we can bring it up with your bosses if you want." He said. He had the sadistic urge to make her kiss and make up with Chris, but that might be a step too far.

"I'll behave." She said, pouting off to the side of the road. Chris looked as if she wanted to say sothing more, but she kept silent.

DEN seems to have tad two goddesses for , albeit temporarily.

He turned his focus back to Darkness. "I'm done. Now keep these pretty flowers in your hair until tomorrow, Lalatina."

"Do you really have to call that. It's so embarrassing." She said, her cheeks flushing but not making her start on one of her... episodes.

"Yes, I do. I like your na, so I'm going to call you that unless we are in public. Rember, this is your punishnt for not holding yourself together. Be a good girl for , and I will call you Darkness again. Can you do that, Lalatina?"

"Yes, Sir."

"Good. Now, with our extra party mbers, I need to use sothing else to get us back on my titable. Stand back a bit." John said, fishing Suzy Q out of his pocket. Once the won stepped back, he funnelled his mana into her figure, expanding Suzy Q to her full size.

"What in Eris's na is that? Is that a construct like The Destroyer?" Darkness said, confused at the ch standing nearly twelve tres above her.

"That is Suzy Q. She is a thirty-five-ton Battlech ready for war. Now, I have room for you in the cockpit, and I will fill you in on who I actually am. Chris and Aqua both know my secret already, so I will now trust you with it as well."

"Wait? This little shrimp already knows who you are? Does she know who I am, too? That isn't sothing you should be giving out!" Aqua said, glaring at him.

"Aqua... You and Chris can sit on the head. I'm sure you have plenty to catch up with."

"John. This... isn't fair." Chris added.

"Nor was taking a cheap shot at , darlin', welco to the consequences of your actions. Now, get on board, we have wolves to find!"
