Chapter 64: My Cute Mother
Aria is happy that Arthur has advanced so much in his cultivation and sees his enthusiasm to get even stronger; she wants to help him on such a journey to the top, but she can't stop thinking about the method he's going to use to do it.
Still, she tries her best to be a good mother, starting by teaching him his first spell. "I never imagined that your first spell would be this, but it's better that you have control over it," she comments while gesturing her fingers in the air, creating a gray circle with lines and symbols that Arthur doesn't recognize.
"This is an enchantment, created with specific lines and ancestral characters," Aria explains as she finishes the drawing in the air.
"Enchantments are one of the easiest types of magic to use; you just need to channel your Astral Energy from your Astral Pond to the tips of your fingers and let it out slowly; if your Energy is powerful enough for that spell and you draw it right, the enchantment will work."
"Oh," Arthur observes every movement of his mother and tries to replicate it. He feels his Energy inside his Astral Pond and manages to make it run to his hand, focusing on the tips of his fingers, which start to glow pink, making him curious. "Why pink?"
"Hehehe~" Aria giggles. "Our Astral Energy in its raw state has a color that suits our body most. Mine is gray probably because of my Arcana and Dark lineages, but yours... perhaps because of your Nexus? Anyway, that is not a problem."
"I see," Arthur thought his raw Astral Energy would be black or something, but pink doesn't seem bad either. He tries to move his finger in the air as Aria did, but when he releases his Energy, it disperses in the air immediately. "What am I doing wrong?"
"This is not so easy, darling~" Aria explains calmly. "Controlling the raw Energy outside the body is something that requires a lot of practice and time. You should start trying to make this enchantment in the place where it is going to stay..." She pauses to think about that.
"Oh, where is that?" Arthur looks at his own body, and Aria laughs. "Actually, this enchantment is usually used by women and only on their bodies. But of course, nothing prevents male mages from using it on the women, and you are going to do it since Magaret's Astral Energy may not be powerful enough for it yet."
"Understood," Arthur turns. "I'll go call Margaret."
"Wait~!" Aria holds his hand, and when Arthur looks at her, he sees a slight blush appearing on her cheeks. "She didn't sleep well because of all that noise... let her have a rest now; you can practice the enchantment with me."
"With you??" Arthur can't stop a thought from emerging in his mind like a flame that could easily burn the whole forest inside his body.
"Baby~" Aria smiles charmingly, her eyes sparkling. "I'm a woman too, you know."
Arthur feels many emotions hit his body at the same time as if a mountain fell over him. He can't stop an intensely possessive feeling from growing even more inside his heart, but that feeling easily mixes with all the pure love and admiration he has for his mother.
He wants to tell her, but the thought can only exist in his mind now. 'Of course you are, the most beautiful and perfect woman.'
Aria expected to see Arthur blush in shyness and she would laugh at him, a way to punish him for last night. But his expression is only loving, making her move get back to hers and now she's the one feeling embarrassed.
'What's going on in your mind... I wanted to know it so badly!' Aria also contains her thoughts, but she doesn't let go of Arthur's hand while trying to make a serene expression. "Alright, let's start..."
"Yeah," Arthur smiles. "Where do I start, tho?"
Aria moves her fingers over Arthur's arm and gently holds his wrist while using her other hand to make a circle over her dress in the area of her lower belly. She's wearing one of her summer dresses that matches her maternal charm very well, but then the circle of gray energy forms and cuts her dress in that shape, revealing part of her belly.
*Glup* Arthur's hard swallowing sound can be heard as he is stunned by that sight. He doesn't remember if he ever saw Aria's belly naked, but now he can see it, an area a little larger than the size of his hand fully opened between her belly button and the line and her hips just an inch before her panties start.
'Her skin seems so soft and flawless... her belly button is so cute among the lines of her perfect curves...' Arthur can't stop such thoughts from coming to his mind. He always had the picture of his mother as perfect in his mind as is normal for any son, but Aria seems really a flawless woman.
This time, it wasn't Aria's intention to tease Arthur, but his eyes become increasingly loving, and she starts to get afraid of how intense things can reach, so she tries to focus and be as objective as possible.
"Use the tips of your fingers as I told you," She comments while leading his hand to her belly. Arthur tries to concentrate as well, but as soon as he touches Aria's skin with the tip of his finger, she lets out a cute moan. "Mm~"
"Mom?" Arthur smiles when he hears her voice in such a captivating way.
Aria bites her lip before laughing. "It tickles to have another person touching this area directly."
Arthur can only think of one thing now. 'Has no one ever touched her belly like that? Am I really the first...' The idea of making his mother feel something for the first time, especially when it made her let out such a cute moan, makes that flame inside him grow even more.
Arthur's silence makes Aria increasingly restless. "Focus your energy, baby~" She tries to keep teaching him, and he follows her instructions, slowly running the tip of his finger over her belly.
After a minute, his pink energy starts to become stable, marking Aria's skin with the enchantment drawing. Due to Arthur's Weapon Mastery, all his movements are extremely precise, and he has no difficulty in replicating the enchantment with the lines and symbols identical to what Aria did.
"Good, very good, darling~" Aria praises Arthur and finally guides his finger to the center of the enchantment right below her belly button. "Ensure that the enchantment is well positioned around the baby room, right here…"
As she speaks those words, Aria blushes the deepest so far, and Arthur also feels intense emotions. But the most powerful feeling inside him now is not sexual but rather an instinctive desire to take care of his mother.
'Father is no longer part of her life, so I have to take care of her...' Such a thought arises in Arthur's mind and he stops holding back his feelings, touching her belly with his open hand.
"Ah~?" Aria is shaken by Arthur's movement, but the sensation of his large and firm hand touching her belly is something unique, and her body reacts so much positively to his touch, which also surprises her. 'I never wanted anyone to touch me like that, but Arthur... could it be so good because he is my beloved son? The only man compatible with my body...'
Arthur is happy that Aria does not shy away from his sudden touch, which makes him more confident to slowly move his hand over her belly.
'What are you doing, darling?' Aria keeps her thoughts to herself because she knows that from the moment she speaks it out loud, she will break that moment, and her body just wants to enjoy her son's caresses now. 'His skin is not rough but warm... his touch is so caring and nice...'
Arthur enjoys it as much as Aria; now that he has started, he can't stop; his hand runs over her belly button before moving towards her waist. 'Her skin is really the softest... and her curves seem so perfect... I want to feel them all!'
Surprising Aria even more, Arthur continues to move his hand further over her skin, causing his arm to begin to break wider the hole in her dress. "Darling~" Her voice escapes in a sensual tone. "We can't do this~"
Arthur ignores her request while finally reaching the divine little folds of her waist. 'This sensation is so...' He can't even describe how good it is to touch Aria's soft skin in that area.
The desire to take care of and love her becomes even more powerful, and Arthur wraps his whole arm around Aria's waist inside her dress, pulling her into his arms.
"Mhm~" Aria lets out another cute moan and bites Arthur's shoulder instinctively to seal her voice. But her body just fits into his embrace perfectly, as if they were made to measure for that.
Arthur hugs Aria even tighter and possessively, and as a natural reaction of his body, she feels something big and hard poking against her uncovered belly. "Darling~" She pleads. "We can't..."
"I know..." Arthur rests his hand on her back, dangerously close to her big ass line. "But let me feel you like this a little longer."
Aria wants to deny that request, not because it seems morally wrong and makes her feel like an immoral mother, but because her body is enjoying it so much that she will surely get addicted to such a feeling, just like she can't go a day without his morning tight hug.
"Just a minute~" She whispers as she rests her face on his chest, enjoying his natural fragrance while his hands make her feel so loved and safe.
Arthur is surprised to discover new sides of Aria. 'My mother is so... cute!' He wants to be able to keep her in his arms like that forever.
And although his hands are very eager to go down and explore even more parts of her body, he controls his emotions and just holds her like that for a minute that passes as fast as a blink of an eye.
"Baby~" Aria has to use all her determination to get out of Arthur's arms; he does not try to make things difficult, also taking a step back. "Mother..."
Aria looks away because she can't face Arthur now. "You did well... I mean, with the enchantment. As expected of my brilliant, beloved son... but it's better for you to train it with Margaret now; your Mommy is in a deplorable state..."
"No, you don't-" Arthur tries to hold Aria by the arm instinctively, but she avoids his touch and quickly runs into the house like a scared rabbit.
He almost runs after her but doesn't do that because forcing anything now could put their relationship in danger.
Yet, he can't stop smiling as he thinks about what just happened. 'She seems to want me to take care of her too... I just want to make my mother happy; how can it be wrong?' He asks Nyx mentally.
And she responds quickly. 'If it does not feel wrong, it may not be wrong at all.'
