Gardenia’s Heart

Inside the room, two girls smiled as they never had before.

“Lily, Lily, look—these tiny hands!”

Nia, speaking cheerfully, was leaning against the headboard, holding a small baby in both arms.

“Yes, they look just like yours. Rose takes after you,” Lily said with a soft laugh, resting her head on her wife’s belly.

With the delivery over and Rose safe, there was no longer any risk in modifying Lily’s body to prevent postpartum complications. With Nia’s help and Elarielle’s guidance, it took only a few hours for Lily to move normally again. Her once swollen belly vanished completely, and her body returned to its natural state.

“She’s our daughter, Lily—our baby!”

Unable to hold back the words, Nia rocked the little girl gently from side to side, her legs wrapped around her wife, who lay on her stomach, keeping the three of them close.

“Yes, Nia, she’s our daughter.” Lily laughed softly once more, resting her head now between Nia’s breasts, beginning to understand why her purple-haired wife loved that feeling so much.

Ever since things had calmed down and everyone else had gone to rest, Nia hadn’t been able to take her eyes off Rose. All the worry and fear that had built up over the past weeks of Lily’s pregnancy had completely disappeared the moment she held their daughter in her arms.

Nia knew what love was. It was the feeling she nurtured more than anything for the one most precious to her. She had never felt it for anyone else but Lily. Yet, when she finally touched the tiny baby, a natural instinct awakened within her—a feeling that she must protect this new life.

She was their daughter. Their family. The embodiment of the love she shared with her wife. And Nia couldn’t feel anything but overwhelming affection for the little girl.

“Her eyes are so beautiful. Rose takes after Lily. That blue is so stunning! I love it so much!”

Although the ends of her hair shimmered in a soft violet gradient, the baby’s hair was silver, just like Lily’s. The silvery glow, like moonlight reflected on a calm lake, was mesmerizing, and paired with eyes that resembled a clear sky, it made Nia unable to look away.

She found Rose so adorable that she could have spent hours just watching her. However, just as she leaned closer to give another soft kiss to her daughter, small tears welled up in the baby’s eyes, and she began to cry.

“R-Rose!? Are you okay!? Does something hurt!?” Nia cried, panicking as she searched for any signs of injury. She was just about to cast a healing spell when Lily’s gentle hand enclosed hers.

“It’s alright. She’s probably just hungry.”

Sitting beside Nia, Lily slid down her nightgown, baring her breasts. Cradling Rose in her arms, she supported the baby’s body with her forearm and gently guided her mouth to her nipple. With soft, tiny hands pressing against her mother’s chest, Rose began to drink slowly.

“Rose needs to eat plenty so she can grow strong and healthy,” Lily whispered tenderly, running her fingers through her daughter’s fine hair.

Lily had heard from Agatha that some women felt pain while breastfeeding, but whether it was due to Nia’s subtle help or simply her body’s resilience, she felt no discomfort as she nursed her baby.

She knew the pain of hunger. Having lived through days when a few loaves of bread had to last an entire week, Lily swore she would never allow her daughter to experience that kind of suffering.

After several minutes, Rose finally released her mother’s breast. Even with her limited ability to express herself, it was easy to see how satisfied she was.

“See? Now she wants her mom Nia’s cuddles.”

Handing the baby back into the girl’s arms, Lily watched as her wife trembled softly.

“Mom...” Nia whispered, dazed.

“Yes,” Lily said with a gentle laugh. “Rose loves her mommy Nia, doesn’t she?”

As Lily spoke, the little baby giggled several times, her tiny cheeks rubbing against Nia’s chest, her small fingers carefully held by her mother.

“She really feels safe with you,” Lily murmured tenderly, noticing how quickly the baby’s breathing calmed as she felt the warmth of Nia’s skin. Slowly, Rose closed her eyes, sleep quickly embracing her. “I thought we’d need to make her burp before she’d get sleepy, but she’s already out. You’re truly a wonderful mother, Nia.”

When Lily looked from the baby to her wife, she was startled to see tears forming in the metamorph’s crimson eyes.

Holding the baby tightly with both arms, Nia pulled her daughter a little closer to her chest, the drops spilling from her eyes sliding down her cheeks.

“I’m a mother...” Nia whispered, turning her tear-filled eyes toward her wife. “Lily, I’m a mother.”

The words she had never imagined saying out loud filled her chest with warmth. The overwhelming emotion she couldn’t contain could only be expressed through the endless stream of tears running down her face.

Approaching her, Lily gently used her fingers to wipe the tears from her cheeks.

Although many people she had met told her she had a mother—that she was the daughter of a great mage—her wife had never experienced such a bond. For Nia, even though she understood the concept of family, from everything Lily had told her about her father, there was no way the metamorph could truly grasp what it meant to have a small life depending entirely on her to survive.

Rose wasn’t like Lily. She wasn’t a being Nia could constantly watch over or monitor to keep alive.

She was something completely separate—a part of herself that now existed outside her body, one that would one day walk the world on her own.

A little girl she needed to protect from danger.

A tiny baby she wanted to see grow healthy, never fall ill, and above all, be happy.

“I love you, Rose...” Nia whispered again, placing a gentle kiss on her daughter’s forehead, while the touch of Lily’s fingers wiping her tears away brought her even more comfort.

Even though she wished to keep holding the baby close, the purple-haired girl knew how important it was for Rose to sleep comfortably. Gathering her gelatinous material, Nia shaped a small crib beside the bed. Laying Rose carefully on the soft mattress, she formed a barrier around her to block out any outside noise.

“My other girl needs to rest a bit too.”

With a soft smile, Lily pulled Nia toward her chest, her gentle fingers caressing the purple strands of her hair. “You’ve been so tense these last few hours. You need a moment to relax.”

Even though she wanted to protest—to say that Lily was the one who needed rest—the moment her face sank into those warm, enormous breasts, Nia found herself unable to speak.

Wrapped in her wife’s embrace, a different kind of warmth began to bloom inside the metamorph’s body. Her crimson eyes slowly drifted toward Lily’s nipples—or more precisely, toward the small drop of milk rolling down them.

Swallowing nervously, Nia timidly extended her tongue, catching the pale golden droplet.

The instant the liquid spread through her mouth, her eyes widened, and she abruptly sat up in bed.

“Lily’s milk... it’s incredibly rich in dark mana!”

With her eyes shining with excitement at her discovery, Nia declared in an eager tone. Seeing the metamorph now staring energetically at her breasts, Lily took a moment to process exactly what she was talking about, each of her hands lifting one of her heavy breasts from underneath.

“How is that possible?” Lily tilted her head.

Bringing one finger to her lips, Nia shifted her gaze between her wife and their daughter, who slept peacefully in the crib.

“Lily’s body seems to have produced this kind of milk to adapt to Rose’s needs. The dark mana from my reservoir is being slowly drained to produce the milk in your alveoli. Since the amount is very small compared to the total, I didn’t notice it—it gets replenished quickly, and since it circulates through the body all the time, I didn’t realize it was being stored in your mammary glands.”

Even if she didn’t understand all the details, Lily could tell from Nia’s enthusiasm that her milk containing dark mana wasn’t a problem. In fact, ever since Rose was born, Lily couldn’t help worrying whether breastfeeding alone would be enough to nourish their daughter, considering she was part monster. Because of that, even if it wasn’t conventional, she felt relieved that her milk was indeed suited to their baby’s needs.

“Do you think Rose will be able to use dark mana like you?” Lily asked, glancing at the small baby in the crib.

“I can’t say for sure, but I don’t think so...” Nia shook her head. “Even though her cells are being partially nourished by dark mana from the environment—like all other monsters—I can feel that her mana reservoir is only absorbing normal mana.”

While she couldn’t be certain until Rose grew older, Nia didn’t believe the girl would be able to manipulate dark mana as she could. At first, Nia had thought that simply possessing a mind allowed someone with dark mana in their body’s composition to control it. However, seeing how Rose’s body was naturally adapting to channel regular mana, that theory had proven wrong.

As Nia pondered the matter further, Lily tilted her head, staring at her own breasts.

“If the milk I produce has dark mana... do you think you could increase your reservoir by drinking it?”

Just like before, Nia couldn’t give an immediate answer. After thinking for a moment, she looked at her wife shyly, her cheeks flushed.

“It’s not like a mana potion, so drinking it wouldn’t make me absorb more dark mana from the atmosphere, but... I believe it could restore my reserves to some extent.” Nia paused briefly, her eyes drifting back to Lily’s breasts. “To actually increase my reservoir, I’d need to ingest an excessive amount all at once—like with the volumes of the Book of Truth—so I don’t think that would be possible.”

Her last words came out barely above a whisper, both her crimson eyes fixed so intently on her wife’s chest that she didn’t even realize she was leaning forward.

“So, in the end, my milk is still good for you, isn’t it?” Lily asked softly, still holding both breasts in her hands and pressing them gently together, her nipples close to Nia’s lips.

Swallowing hard once more, Nia leaned closer to her wife, all hesitation vanishing the moment she felt the soft brush of Lily’s skin against her lips.

“Mhn...”

Lily could feel a strong pull at first as Nia’s lips wrapped around her nipples. After a few seconds, the pressure softened, replaced by a tingling warmth spreading through her chest—a wave of pleasant sensation growing with each eager movement of her beloved as she began to drink her milk.

An intense warmth began to form in her breasts. Lily could feel Nia’s tiny fingers desperately pulling the breasts toward her, as if afraid the sweet nectar would be taken away.

”Relax... no need to be tense. You can drink as much as you want, my love.”

Gently, Lily laid Nia in her lap, her right arm supporting the girl’s head.

”Nhm... Nn... Mhm...”

As even more of Lily’s delicious milk filled her mouth and flowed down her throat, Nia couldn’t stop moaning.

Just like a baby, she was sucking milk directly from breasts. This thought, which seemed extremely embarrassing in her mind, somehow only made the heat she felt between her legs intensify. Her sensitive body made all reason disappear from her head.

”You’re making such a cute face, Nia~”

With eyes so sweet it seemed like hearts pulsed within them, Lily gazed at her blushing wife with so much passion she felt she might go crazy.

Just as she expected, her ample breasts proved to be powerful helpers. Even after feeding their daughter, literal liters and more liters of milk continued to be drunk by Nia, and yet she didn’t feel she would run out.

With her left arm free, Lily slid her hand beneath Nia’s nightgown. Her fingers groped the vagina soaked with a thick liquid.

”This naughty clitoris is begging for attention.”

Using her fingers like tweezers, Lily delicately pulled the love button up and down, each movement making the girl’s waist shift in different directions.

”Nhm! Nhmm!” With her mouth still full of her wife’s milk, Nia fought against the sweet tingling in her legs—a failed attempt to regain reason while thick honey continued to lubricate her thighs.

The sight was a feast for Lily. Licking her lips as if savoring what she saw, she knew it was time to intensify the pleasure even further.

The slit, moist and extremely hot, accepted her fingers without resistance. With her ring and middle fingers invading Nia’s vaginal walls, Lily traced the petals with her thumb relentlessly.

Every touch from the silver-haired girl, no matter how slight, made Nia’s whole body tremble. Her tongue, swirling around the nipples, jumped uncontrollably while her back arched with each new wave of pleasure.

”It’s okay, you can cum, my love, squirt for me~”

Lily felt that Nia had completely given herself over to her. The sensitive vagina, trembling and pulsing under the caresses and provocations of her fingers, kept getting wetter and wetter. Nia was quickly reaching her limit, and in moments, she peaked.

”Nhmmmmmm!”

Arching her back intensely, Nia felt an electrifying shiver run through her entire body and reach her mind. Her eyes, rolled back from the orgasm, struggled to focus on anything while her bent knees trembled with each new wave of love juice gushing from her groin.

Without any sign of composure or concern for shame, the girl continued squirting uncontrollably with each new orgasm, climax after climax making the sheets even wetter.

”Ah... Nhm... Aah...”

No longer able to keep her mouth on her wife’s nipples, Nia rested her head completely on Lily’s right arm, both legs still spread and dripping with love juice as she breathed heavily.

”Good job, my adorable bad girl~”

Licking her hand from the base to the tips of her fingers, Lily savored the sweet nectar of her beloved while gently supporting her against her body.

Lily wasn’t sure how much of her milk Nia had drunk, but the girl’s satisfied expression made it clear she had enjoyed it.

Except for the Book of Truth, there were few situations where the metamorph could literally feed on dark mana in this way. The experience seemed to have been very positive, and Lily couldn’t help but feel extremely happy to see her beloved so satiated.

However, just as she was about to put her clothes back on, Lily felt her arm go light as the metamorph sat up on the bed by herself.

”Nia?”

With her head tilted, Lily wondered if something was wrong—but before she realized it, a large penis had formed between her legs. The already hardened member pressed against the entrance of the girl in front of her.

Passing each hand over the opposite shoulder, Nia slid her fingers along the straps of her black nightgown, letting the thin garment slip down onto the bed.

”Lily needs to feel good too...” With crimson eyes fixed on her wife, Nia whispered between hot breaths.

Using her tentacles, Nia laid Lily down on the bed. Bending her knees and planting her toes firmly into the sheets, she intertwined both her hands with her beloved’s before guiding her vaginal entrance directly onto the glans of the enormous cock.

”Nyaaaaaaah!”

”Hyaaaaaaah!”

A sudden wave of pleasure washed over both girls simultaneously the moment Nia lowered her body—Lily’s huge penis carving its way into the drenched vagina of the purple-haired girl.

”Nia... Nhm...” Lily whispered her wife’s name between moans.

Not only was her sensitive penis already erect before she even realized it in a moment of intense arousal, but Lily felt all her senses waver when Nia’s warm vaginal walls began tightening around her hardened member.

”Lily doesn’t need to move...” Pulling their interlaced fingers even tighter, Nia spoke with heavy breaths. ”Mhn... I’m going to make Lily feel good... with my pussy...”

Gripping the bedsheets more firmly with her toes, Nia gathered her determination and moved her body upward. The twenty-centimeter penis, already thoroughly lubricated with her nectar, was exposed again down to almost the tip of the glans before being immediately thrust against the girl’s deepest spot as she sat back down.

”Nyaaaaah!”

Moaning once more, despite her arched back and overwhelming pleasure, Nia wasted no time before repeating the movement.

“Lily is opening my womb… I love this…!”

Being the one to move meant that every thrust of that huge penis into the deepest point of her womb was caused entirely by her. Nia became extremely aware of this fact. Every time the warm walls of her vagina opened up, and every moment that penis kissed her core, was done by her own lewd movements.

“My body is so hot… Mhn… I can feel Lily opening me up… Lily’s cock is kissing my womb so many times… Nhmm… It’s so incredible…”

With her tongue hanging out of her mouth, Nia continued to move up and down. Each movement, extremely long and intense, made her buttocks slap against her wife’s thighs—a wet, lustful sound of slick skin colliding, only encouraging her to speed up.

Nia was extremely sensitive during sex. This always made her reach orgasm first. Yet, even while squirting her love juices, the girl didn’t stop taking her beloved’s cock inside her, over and over again.

”Nia, you’re so beautiful! Ah... Aah... Nia!”

Seeing her beloved trying so hard to make her feel good filled Lily with dizzying joy.

Even though it was difficult and even though she was sensitive, her beloved wife kept doing her best. Nia’s purple hair swayed uncontrollably, and her tongue now hung out of her mouth. Her knees and hips moved more by instinct in pursuit of pleasure than by reason. Drool fell from her lips, but Lily couldn’t help feeling her libido rise at how adorable the girl looked.

”Lily, I need to feel more of you!”

With her hands still firmly intertwined with her wife’s, Nia continued to move her waist repeatedly. No matter how embarrassed she seemed or how flushed she was, her eyes never left her beloved.

”I want Lily’s semen inside my womb! I want to be able to ovulate, Lily! I also want to carry and give birth to Lily’s babies!”

Having a baby was a joy. After feeling such happiness with the birth of their daughter, Nia wanted more than anything to conceive a baby for the woman in front of her. However, due to her inability to stay outside Lily’s body long enough for a complete gestation, Nia couldn’t carry her wife’s baby yet.

”Being fertilized by Lily’s sperm... I want that, I really want that...”

To carry Lily’s seed with care and affection, and then deliver a baby for her, just as she did for her today—this was one of the metamorph’s greatest dreams.

”Nia...” Hearing those words, Lily couldn’t stop a powerful emotion from swelling in her chest.

Lily wanted to fulfill her wife’s wish. She wanted her beloved to be able to get pregnant. She wanted her to carry their child, too. The girl didn’t know when it would be possible, but she swore to herself that she would make it happen.

Intertwining their fingers even tighter, Lily let her mind surrender completely to the waves of pleasure crashing over her relentlessly. She might not be able to impregnate Nia now, but she would make sure her beloved would never go without her love.

”I’m going to cum... Nia... I’m going to cum inside you!”

Her penis continued to be mercilessly squeezed by Nia’s warm walls. As the heat became unbearable and the amount of love juice exploding with every slap of Nia’s butt against her thighs intensified, Lily knew she was about to reach her limit.

”Cumming...! Ah... Aaah... I’m cumming!”

”Yes... Nyaah! Inside me! Lily! Please!”

The moment Nia’s buttocks slammed against her thighs once more, an intense heat surged from the depths of her groin to the tip of her cock’s glans. With a powerful jet, a massive amount of semen began to fill Nia’s uterus directly.

Pump after pump, the white, viscous liquid began to spread across every inch of the girl’s warm walls until no space remained. The excessive quantity began to strain the walls, causing Nia’s stomach to swell.

”I can feel Lily’s seeds filling me up... Lily’s sperm in my womb... Mhn... It feels so good...”

As more climaxes flooded her brain during the orgasm, Nia, who still had her tongue hanging out of her mouth, gently began to feel the bulge that had formed on her swollen belly.

”The seeds are searching for an egg... they want to impregnate me... Nhm... I’m sorry, I can’t allow that right now.”

After making sure all of her wife’s semen was safely contained inside her, Nia pulled the penis out from within herself and reformed her panties.

Lying on the bed beside her wife, Nia felt a gentle hand reach for her cheek.

“Nia, you can be sure—one day we’ll make it happen.” Placing a soft kiss on her wife’s forehead, Lily nestled against her beloved, her flushed face clearly showing how content she was. “I love you.”

Feeling her wife’s warmth surrounding her, Nia couldn’t help but notice once again how deeply Lily cared for her.

Her wife, who had never held a sword before turning eighteen and had never received formal education, continued to push herself every day to become stronger—all for her sake. Lily wanted her to be happy.

“I love you, Lily.” Wrapping her arms around Lily’s body, Nia gently rested her wife’s head against her modest chest. “You can sleep. If Rose wakes up to feed, I’ll wake you.”

With her body relaxed from the recent exhaustion of childbirth and the comforting words she had just heard, it didn’t take more than a few minutes for the girl to drift into sleep, her hands still holding her wife tightly.

Adjusting her posture so Lily could rest as comfortably as possible, Nia used one of her tentacles to lift the small cradle where Rose slept, reshaping it into a smaller size and placing it beside the bed. She then rested one hand on her daughter’s cheek.

Holding the two women who now made up her entire world close to her, Nia wrapped both of them in her tentacles, her crimson eyes narrowing.

“No matter what the world or anyone else tries to do, I will protect you both.”
