Issei wasn't surprised when Rias avoided him for the rest of the day. After all, the sudden reversal she had experienced would be difficult to process for anyone, and even the best devils weren't famous for their adaptability. And as a spoiled princess who had been protected for all her life, Rias could be hardly qualified for that part.

Since spending the rest of the day with Rias wasn't an option, Issei spent most of his day on a date with Asia where he had shown her around the town while also subtly probing her about her commitment to religion, though he had put a few hours for training as well; not the real variety, unfortunately -as it wasn't feasible with all the observers - the fake one, but with a significantly increased aptitude for his sacred gear in a visible location, trying to prove Rias that her humiliating punishment was actually quite useful. Rias wasn't there to observe him, neither in person nor through a hidden familiar - a proof of her distraction- but Issei hadn't felt dismayed, because Akeno was there, watching him with an excited expression on her face from the corner she thought herself to be hidden, no doubt imagining about a particularly humiliating session of domination.

But she took action, and since Issei had to act like he was unaware of her presence, he went to his room, writing off the night as a boring bust…

Then, he heard a knock on the door…

"Come in," he called with an excited smile when he felt a familiar presence on the other side of the door.

His visitor followed his request and slowly opened the door, revealing it was Asia on the other side, dressed in a long, extremely conservative sleeping gown that started tight from her neck, and went down to her ankles. No doubt a special request from her, as he doubted Rias had such a boring thing in storage — for all of her faults, she knew how to present her assets, and assets of her peerage.

A pity, Issei decided even as Asia walked in, closing the door behind her. As while Asia was on the small side, she still had a body too beautiful to be hidden in such a manner. "How can I help you, Asia-chan," Issei said with a smirk, not bothering to hide the edge, as Asia was too innocent to pick the message up before it was too late.

"Do you mind if I stayed here for a while," Asia murmured even as she wrung her hands, displaying her nervousness.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Issei asked, and received a trembling nod in return, one that reminded him of a scared songbird. It was a pity that the little songbird was unaware that the cave she tried to hide housed a dragon. "And you want to stay here until you feel less scared, so you can go back to your room?" Asia nodded again. "Would you like to stay with me instead like we did last night?" he asked.

"Can I?" she asked excitedly before her rationality could reassert itself, along with a frown. "But I can't, it would be a sin. God-" she tried to continue, only to stop by a wince as the holy name itself gave her pain.

"Come on, Asia, there's no sin in helping a struggling friend," Issei said, fully aware that it was wrong. "You have just gone through several traumatic events one after another, and a little comfort from a friend is definitely deserved."

She nodded, then ducked her head to hide the rapid blush that was spreading to her face, one that Issei let to posses her face, no doubt due to her mind suddenly running amok due to possibilities. He wasn't surprised, not after he had spent their 'date' subtly flirting with her to put the idea in mind. He wanted his loyal healer, and he wanted to tame her as soon as possible.

He let out a subtle chuckle as he lifted the cover, and Asia slid underneath it, though she stayed a good distance away from him, possibly due to the size of the bed. Something Issei didn't want to allow. "Don't be shy," Issei said as he put his arm around her waist, and pulled her closer with a chuckle.

"That's too close," she said after a shocked gasp as she tried to wiggle out of his hug, but it lasted suspiciously short.

"Come on, Asia, don't worry too much, or you'll have wrinkles on your pretty face," he said, making Asia blush even more.

"But it's sinful," she murmured in response, but her lack of conviction was obvious from the way she pressed her body against Issei's, her crush and emotional worship stronger than the tatters of the emotional conditioning of the life she spent in church. He suspected her conversion to a Devil was playing a role as well, making her more receptive to conceptual sins, not that he complained.

He decided to face her complaints directly. "Come on Asia, you're a devil now, so worrying about sinning is pointless."

"But-" she tried to answer, only to Issei to cut her off.

"No buts. The church has no right to push their twisted sense of morality to you, especially not after they kicked you just because you followed their tenets and showed mercy. Why should you be obligated to follow their orders while they ignore their basic responsibilities?"

"Isn't it bad to sin?" Asia questioned in a trembling voice, her conviction wavering already.

"Not all so-called sins are equal," Issei explained. "Yes, it's bad to hurt others, but what about simple things that hurt no one. They were ridiculous enough to forbid masturbation, despite the fact that it doesn't hurt anybody. Such a ridiculous thing!" he continued, the anger in his tone not exactly faked. He had always found the ban on masturbation very offensive, to the point he would act against the Church in an offensive manner once he was strong enough.

"Masturbation!" Asia exclaimed panickedly, her sensibilities unable to handle the word itself.

"Exactly. It's both enjoyable and harmless, so why should anyone stop themselves from doing it," Issei explained heatedly before noticing the expression on her face. He suddenly felt suspicious that Asia was even purer than he had expected. "You have masturbated before, right?" he asked, only to receive a subtle shook of the head.

Surprised, he kept his gaze on her until she whispered one trembling word. "No."

"That's a travesty," he said with a chuckle, though he made sure to finish it with a soft breath, targeting Asia's neck, which made her wiggle in confusion while her body triggered in anticipation. "We should fix it right now!" he said even as he put his hand on her leg, above her nightgown to not to scare her off, and slowly dragged upward.

"Issei-kun, what are you doing!" she exclaimed in panic, her voice loud enough to make Issei glad that he had put silencing charm. With their familiars absent, Rias and Akeno had no idea what was going on in his room, which allowed him to act much more decisively while seducing her.

"I'm helping you, as any good friend would," he said, shamelessly abusing Asia's sense of gratitude towards him. And as a devil, she had to learn it one way or another, and the current manner was one of the best to enable it.

"But…" she tried to say, only to cut herself short when she met with Issei's best charming smile, subtly enhanced by his magical presence. Despite their violent reputation, Dragons could be really charming when they wanted to.

"Trust me, and close your eyes," Issei whispered into her ear. Asia trembled with an emotion other than fear. After all, while she might have been inexperienced, her body was mature enough to trigger her instincts, no doubt helped by her devil nature.

With her eyes closed, Issei gently caressed her body, focusing on her thighs and stomach, occasionally bringing his fingers to her neck, enjoying her soft skin. He avoided overtly sexual points at first, giving her time to get used to his touch. It wasn't a surprise that a gasp escaped her mouth soon after, followed by her eyes popping in shock.

"Don't worry, it's natural," Issei whispered softly while the dance of his fingers continued, and she closed her eyes once more, unable to resist his gaze. Soon, another gasp left her mouth, followed by a barely-suppressed moan, but neither was shocking enough to make her open her eyes.

He was patient in his treatment. After all, unlike Rias, Asia hadn't done anything to earn his annoyance, therefore deserving of his kindness. Though, the cute little moan when his hands drifted on her chest was a temptation hard to resist. But thanks to his playing with Rias earlier, he was not tempted to ruin his plan by hurrying. Instead, he drew a gentle, patient spiral until he reached her nipples, even though the effect wasn't as tempting with her thick bra on the way.

Enough patience, he decided as he put his fingers on her thigh once more, just above her knee. But this time, his fingers were on her naked skin rather than touching over the thick texture of her dress. And just like that, Asia's eyes popped open once more, her mouth open to deliver her complaints.

Issei was ready for it. While he was tempted to catch her lips in a searing kiss, that would ruin his slow play. Instead, he pressed his lips on her neck, her lack of familiarity with pleasure enough to trigger a shocked moan while he gently sucked her skin. And her distraction allowed his fingers to slowly climb up her thighs, her supple skin folding under his touch.

Then, his fingers were lingering over her most sensitive spot, her panties as the only protection. Issei wished a camera to be there to record, as the expression of utter shock on her face while she faced the rush of unfamiliar pleasure was delicious. "You understand my point about pleasure, right?" Issei whispered into her ear even as he gently circled her knob repeatedly, taking it slowly not to destroy her under the rush of pleasure.

"It's too much," she gasped. "I didn't know such pleasure was possible."

"It's just a beginning, Asia. It's nothing compared to what's about to come," he explained even as his fingers slipped underneath her panties, touching her naked skin. There, she managed to surprise him, as the unfamiliar sensation of his naked touch, along with her anticipation, was enough to trigger her orgasm, leaving her moaning and shuddering…

Issei smirked in amusement while he whispered sweet nothings to her ear, stopping his intimate massage for the moment. He knew that Asia was not in a point to resist his touch that soon after her first orgasm, but that didn't mean he was going to stay idle. With a flex of his mana, he disintegrated her bra and panties, as they were too boring to play. Then, he took a deep breath and cast the same spell, this time targeting her nightie, but in a much more difficult manner, as he was aiming to thin her nightie rather than destroy completely; a display of precision that would have been impossible before his conversion.

"How was it," he whispered, once again his lips caressing her ear.

"It was … unbelievable…" Asia murmured, still trying to catch her breath. "I could never imagine such pleasure was possible…"

"Not bad for the first round, right?" Issei said even as he unbuttoned her shirt, revealing her creamy skin to his attention, her areolas peeking from the corner.

"First round!" Asia gasped, but the rest of her words disappeared in another moan when he grabbed her nipple and squeezed gently, making her face yet another unfamiliar sensation, while his other hand started caressing her lower lips once more, this time with a much more determined and quick manner. Asia's moans rose once again under his determined assault while his fingers probed her entrance occasionally, but not pushing forward.

Issei didn't say anything, and Asia couldn't say anything, so, the rest of the moments passed in a unique silence if one discounted Issei's occasional erotic whisper, and Asia's unbounded moans. Issei only stopped after Asia climaxes neared double-digits, her virgin and innocent body helpless under the grasp of the dragon. She was especially exhausted when he stopped giving her enough time to breathe between orgasms, which made her exhaustion even stronger. Ultimately, Issei decided to let her rest a couple of hours later…

"Do you still think the Church was justified in forbidding masturbation, Asia-chan," Issei whispered as he spooned the not-so-innocent blonde, his heat wrapping around her like an extra blanket.

"Damn the Church," she murmured, barely coherent as she tried to stay awake, only to fail badly against her exhaustion. She fell asleep, unable to hear Issei's chuckles. Issei followed her soon after…

In the morning, Issei felt Akeno's presence well before she arrived at his door, but hadn't felt important enough to react. If it had been before he disciplined Rias, he might have tried to hide Asia, but she was sufficiently distracted by the excessive punishment she received, and the fact that her pawn was actually aware of her plan. That left Akeno as the only person to suppress before he could start acting freely in the peerage.

And since he was supposed to be in the training area with Akeno in a few minutes, there was no point hiding his other achievements. His position was too assured for it to be a risk.

Of course, that didn't prevent Akeno from letting out a shocked gasp when she opened the door, nor it prevented a newly awakened Asia to yelp in panic before hiding under the blanket like a cute little rabbit. "Well, well, well…" she murmured, trying to hide her shock. "What a surprise."

Issei used the moment given by Akeno's shock to devour her vision. Since it was the weekend, she chose to dress in something other than her school uniform, choosing to dress in the garb of a shrine maiden — a modified one, of course, with a shorter skirt and a deep cleavage, displaying Akeno's assets to a maximum effect while still paying lip service to her traditional behavior.

"Asia had trouble sleeping, so she decided to ask for my help," Issei explained, more to make Asia relax rather than convince Akeno, as the smell in the room was rather distinctive, especially a devil's enhanced senses. But Akeno's shock soon melted, leaving its place to amusement; a sign that Rias hadn't shared what happened with Akeno, as Akeno was smart enough to understand the implications of such rapid seduction-domination chain.

"Is that so," Akeno said with a smirk as she took a step forward, but Issei gestured her to stop.

"Akeno-chan, why don't you go ahead in the training area and start the preparations, I'll be there shortly," he said. Akeno opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Issei hit her with the concentrated pressure of his dragonic soul. And just like that, another gasp escaped her mouth, her eyes wide, her arms raised, ready to summon a shield.

A frustrated expression replaced her panic when she met with Issei's smirk, soon turning into anger. The reason was simple. Akeno prided herself in her calm and her ability to control the situation, both destroyed under his dragonic aura. "Maybe I will, Issei-kun," Akeno answered in a dark tone that would have sent shivers to the spine of a lesser man. "I will go ahead and prepare for the training field. Don't be rude and a keep an innocent maiden wait too long, okay?" she said, and Issei just snorted. A devil who fashioned herself as a dominatrix with a lightning proficiency was difficult to refer to as innocent.

"Is she gone," Asia murmured when the door slammed, her head still underneath the blanket.

"Yes, she's gone," Issei said, but Asia still stayed underneath the blanket, so he pulled it off, revealing Asia's visage, still looking rough after last night's activities.

"Issei-kun!" she exclaimed as her shyness exerted itself once more, especially when she noticed the absence of her bra and panties, and the fact that her nightie had turned transparent.

"No need to feel shy," he said even as he hugged her body once more, and despite her shyness, Asia melted against his touch. "I need to go for my training session…" he said, only for a complicated expression to appear on Asia's face, confusion and desire battling for dominance against her shyness. "But first, let me show you another little trick," he added, and before Asia could answer, he ripped off her nightie with one pull.

While Asia was busy processing her shock, Issei had already buried his head between her legs, his tongue out, brushing her nether lips. Her shocked cry was soon replaced by the cries of pleasure, her body too hungry for pleasure after the last night's treatment. "Do you want me to continue?" Issei asked after a couple of moments, and she just nodded. "I want an answer," Issei repeated.

For a moment, she was stunned, overwhelmed by the requirement of mentioning her desires explicitly. She gazed at him, hoping to find a reprieve, but only found an encouraging smile, as he knew that anything more would only destroy his progress. "Issei-kun… Please… Continue…"

"Continue what?" he countered even as he kept his lips close enough that his hot breath tickled her softness.

"Lick me… Down there," she managed to murmur, though managed to blush deeply enough to make her faint if she had been still a human. Issei could have forced her to be more explicit, but decided that was enough victory for the day, and dived back to her wetness, accompanied by her enthusiastic cries. As her orgasm rapidly closed in, she even surprised him by grabbing his head roughly while trying to contain her orgasm, giving the first sign that under all that religious oppression lay a sexy minx begging to be let out.

And Issei was more than enthusiastic about doing that, one step at a time…

On more important news, due to ongoing crisis, my status employment had been changed from full time to part time. However, for you guys and gals, it's quite a good development, because until I go back to full employment status, I have quite a bit extra time, meaning I'll be updating more often, both here and on my P-atreon page.

As usual, my original works are in P/atreon / dirk_grey.
