The Married Life Of Immortals

"So, you get a bit stronger, and you think you can just order us around?" Nina asked with narrowed eyes, and Bane shrugged, and then pointed the steak he had stabbed on his fork at the Valkyrie Queen.

"I think that I am owed a moment of silence while I am enjoying a meal that you both had enjoyed so frivolously since I left. Do you know what demons eat? Each other, so yes, while I am stuffing my face, I order you two to do the same, Bane growled, and took a bite out of his steak. "How did this even happen? And why did it need to come up while I was gone? I am looking at you Nina."

The three of them sat around a table Bane forced Lysia to make, but only Bane was eating while the other two glared at each other.

Nina looked like she was going to explode, but instead let out a sigh. "I was working up the nerve to bring it up with both of you, but then you left, and Lysia and I got to drinking. Then next thing I knew, I had made a few misguided comments that caused Lysia to draw out my true feelings for you," Nina explained this with a straight face, but then burst into a blush that threatened to consume her.

"Misguided comment?" Lysia snorted. "She egged me on about you meeting other women while in the demon world, but then went on to suggest that there might be competition in this work for you! A comment like that could only mean that she had feelings for you, thus sparking this never ending fight until you just got back."

"How dare you!" Nina snapped. "You are the one who told me that you would love him no matter what! Would you not do anything to keep him? Are you really going to leave me behind after everything we have lost and been through? Did you not say that if you found a man worthy of you one day that you would want him to love your sister the way he loves you? Or is that all just lip service now that you have him?!"

A defining silence fell over the dining area of Bane and Lysia's living quarters as the two women glared at each other, and Bane continued to eat without a care in the world.

"Did I not tell you two to be quiet?" He said between bites, and both women turned their fiery gazes at him. "If I wanted to eat alone, I would have just gone to a bar and ate while surrounded by beautiful women who only wished to hear about my exploits. However, I have returned to this shit show because I know that this is where I want to be, and that there are two people here who, one I love, and the other I am willing if the other part of my life accepts her," Bane said, and both woman suddenly looked away from him, a blush creeping across both their faces.

Giving both women a side eye, Bane let out a sigh. "Listen, Lysia. I love you like no tomorrow, but the more I think about it, the more people keep telling me that forever is a long time. Something that a simple minded dumb dumb like me never thought about before. So, while I know what my heart feels, I don't want to put you in a place that will cause you discomfort or unhappiness. What I am trying to say is that if you are willing to share me with Nina, then I would be willing to be with you both," Bane finished, and then took a huge bite out of his steak.

Lysia and Nina both sat there silently for a moment, neither able to look at the other, or even speak. It wasn't until Bane had finished off his steak and started eating his potatoes that the silence was broken by a single word.

"Fine," Nina said in a defeated tone, and looked at Bane, who had a potato stuck in his mouth and was giving her a funny look. "I know that my actions have been less than honorable, and if you will allow it, I would like to be with you and Lysia."

Bane stared at her for a moment, and then looked at Lysia, who wore a complicated look on her face.

'Hey Eve?' Bane asked internally.

'Yeah Big Brother?' She replied, sounding sleepy.

'Is it just me, or do I feel like I am somehow always in the middle of these things?' Bane asked, but Eve laughed.

'The only time that you aren't the center of attention is when you are being a jerk. The rest of the time you are just fine,' She replied, and Bane did an internal eye roll.

'I think that I am going to let this one play out on its own. No matter what I do, there is no winning. Both of these women are insane, and they have lost everything, but through it all, they have seemed to remain friends,' Bane thought, and Eve hummed in agreement.

"If you will allow it, I would also like to share you with Nina," Lysia said, and Bane gave her a look.

"Serious? This isn't just something to get me to let my guard down, right?" Bane questioned, but Lysia shook her head.

"I love my sister, and even though I know we are different people, I want to believe that she is the type of woman who would care for you and treat you well. If I didn't believe that, then I would have killed her the moment I suspected that she felt something for you," Lysia explained, but then looked over at her sister. "Even though we fought, I saw a change in you over the last few months, and it made me believe that you were being honest about how you feel for my husband."

Nina looked at Lysia with a pained expression, but nodded her head. "I know that I am not good at expressing my feelings, and that I have acted like a child recently, but I would be honored to join you and Bane as your wife."

"Are you sure?" Bane asked, but Nina nodded her head.

"Your genes are exactly what I require to restart the race of Valkyrie's. I am sure that Lysia also wanted to rebuild the elven population," Nina said, switching to a completely different no-nonsense tone that made Bane's heart jump into his throat. "If you two are willing, we should start having children as soon as possible."

Bane opened his mouth to speak, but then closed it. There was too much he wanted to say, but instead he just sighed and looked at Lysia.

"Kids? Is that really what you want right now?" Bane asked as he cleaned his plate off.

Lysia thought about it for a moment, and then nodded her head. "It is something that I would like, but I don't want more than one girl."

Bane frowned, and Nina wasn't close behind him.

"I don't think that's how the mating ritual works" Bane explained, but Lysia gave him a challenging look that dared him to argue.

"Don't worry, I will make sure that our first child is a girl," She said, and Bane didn't miss the dangerous look in her eyes.

"You are insane," Nina said, but Lysia just shrugged.

"I might be, but if I get to pick, I would like to have a daughter that looks like Bane. He is my husband, so my daughter will be as strong and beautiful as her father," Lysia said with a wicked grin on her face. "Or I will devour her and make a new one! Bwahahaha!"

Bane gave her a very long sideways look. "Don't make me spank you in front of your new sister."

"Promise?" Lysia purred, and Bane let out a sigh.

"So, what happens now?" Bane asked, and both women gave him a questioning look.

"What do you mean?" Both asked, but then paused, wondering if he should reveal the secret about the three demon women.
