Chapter 41 - The Seraphim Twins P3
*****
"This is your chance to stay on the other side of the line. Do you want to keep serving me tea, or do you want to serve me... you."
She swallowed hard and put on a brave face.
How cute. She's gathering her courage. One more push...
"Push me away, or pull me closer and claim what you want."
She nodded and wrapped her left arm around my waist, and her right hand found the back of my head. She pulled me closer until our lips touched, then pulled me a little tighter.
Liliana... Aliana... I love you!
My thoughts were so loud that she grew ravenous. She flipped me around and pinned me against the wall, taking my lips for everything she wanted and more.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Ally locking lips with Fia, my twin's shirt grasped and pulled toward her.
The white-haired girl taking me for my own ride finally pulled away, both of us breathing heavily into each other's mouths. Between breaths, she managed to say, "I love you, Pr... Eli."
I felt a rush in my heart hearing her call me something other than Princess. It was like I was a young school girl connecting with her first crush again.
I smiled. "You're so beautiful, Lily. I want to see you in your bikini even more now." I looked over at Ally. "Hey. You, too."
She and Fia were breathing as hard as we were.
Ally said, "Yeah. I really wanna see both of you in your bikinis, too."
I smirked and pulled Lily away from the wall. "Wait here a sec."
"Mhm."
I teleported to the bedroom and grabbed both my swimsuit and Fia's, and then teleported back. I took Lily's hand again, holding a pair of swimsuits in the other. I winked at Ally and Fia and then led Lily to her room after tossing Fia's swimsuit to her.
Ally and Lily had their own rooms of course. Lily dug out her swimsuit and we changed together. My lovely white-haired girlfriend liked to wear black, while her black-haired sister would wear white.
Lily and Ally were very color coded with each other while I went with dark purple, and Fia went with dark blue.
All four of us preferred wearing very simple two-piece swimsuits. None of us liked fancy swimsuits, instead letting our natural beauty do the work. The fanciest part was that both our tops and bottoms tied together, rather than held on by elastic.
After putting on our bikinis, I kissed her again. This time while keeping her lips busy, I guided one of her hands to my butt.
And she squeezed.
I let out a moan into her mouth and kept kissing. Partway through, our twins came in and giggled at the door. We both looked at them and smiled. They were already wearing shirts and shorts over their bikinis, and even had on their beach shoes.
Not wanting to wait for me to go to my room to get my own, Lily dug out two shirts, two shorts, and an extra pair of shoes.
We're royals okay? We have a bunch of clothes.
I sniffed the shirt after putting it on. "Mm... Lily's shirt."
The white-blonde giggled and sniffed it. "It has your scent now, too."
"Shall we?" I started to channel mana, but Lily grabbed my wrist.
"I want to show off to you, Eli."
She used my silver mana and created a portal to Atlas.

"I don't know why I'm surprised," Hannah said, holding her hand over her eyes. "You can teleport across the boundary and even to Athas. Well, I'm happy to see you. Since the four of you are dressed that way, I take it you're here to enjoy the beach?"
I grinned and made a v-shape with my fingers. "Yep!"
"Hannah," Fia said. "You look tired."
She's right. Hannah looked like she's been working herself too hard.
"That obvious?"
"Hannah, you once mentioned quitting either your medical work or state work," I said. "I think you should do that. Come work at Arslade. I'll help get your estate there cleaned up."
She chuckled. "Look at my granddaughters being thoughtful." She paused for a moment and looked out the window at the bay. "Maybe I'll do that. But you know, my estate doesn't need to be cleaned up. My husband is still there, and he's been urging me to come home, too."
"Oh," I laughed dryly. "That slipped my mind. I've only ever seen you and Grandpa Charles together once..."
"Don't worry about it. We're both so busy we rarely have time to see each other these days."
"Now I feel guilty... I get to see my partners every day."
"Heh, well you have three of them, so even if one or two are gone for a night, there's still another."
"Ehehe..."
She raised an eyebrow, then glared at me, then at Fia. "Something you girls want to share with your dear ole grandma?"
Taking that cue, Lily grabbed Fia's hand and Ally grabbed mine, both smiling at Hannah.
She chuckled and said, "It's about time."
"Huh?"
"What, you think it wasn't obvious to everyone else? These two have been glued to you since I've known you, and they didn't look at you with the eyes of an attendant."
"There's no way we were that obvious!" Lily said.
Hannah shook her head and smirk. "Oh, you were. Layla, Allison, and I had bets on how long it would take before this happened, and I won. Haha."
"How did anyone notice? We've been hiding it for... ever."
"And I imagine it worked for most people. But to someone like me, it was written all over your faces." She shrugged then smiled. "I'm happy for you. You both have always been very quiet, rarely speaking to anyone, even Kye. But here you are, openly talking."
Lily blushed and looked away while Ally hid behind me.
"Oh, no you don't." I pulled her in front of me and held her in place with both arms around her.
"Eli!" She squirmed, but didn't try to break free.
"No hiding, love."
"L-love?" She flipped around to face me, her cheeks fully red.
"Mhm. You know that's how I call the girls I love."
"I know, but... I didn't expect that to be said to me."
"Why not?" I gazed into her eyes as her entire face reddened. "Everyone is equal. You deserve no less than the others."
She looked down, too embarrassed to meet my eyes, but I wasn't having any of that. I pulled her face up and took her lips for my own. But I didn't get long with them.
"Ahem."
I looked up and Hannah was glaring at me with a raised eyebrow.
"Need a room...?"
