Refusing My God’s Advances

"Okay, let me break it down for you. Rub the soap on your skin, especially when you're dirty. Like this," I demonstrated, rubbing the soap on my arm.

Misty blushed and looked away. "I'm sorry, I know I was really mean to you before, but can you please do it for me this time? You're the only person that I trust right now, and Garland."

Hearing the stupid god's name made my eyes twitch. I wouldn't be in this awkward situation if it wasn't for him! Hell, this could be any of my girls, and I would be in heaven! But, no! It has to be the one woman I meet whose powers depend on her virginity!

I sighed and took the soap from her hand. "Fine, but you'll have to learn to do it yourself eventually. Just remember, it's not a big deal."

I proceeded to lather the soap and gently wash Misty's back, trying to make the situation as comfortable as possible. She seemed to relax a bit, realizing that the process wasn't as daunting as she had initially thought.

As I finished washing her back, Misty turned around, her face flushed. "Can you do the front now, and my hair?"

Why, just why did this have to happen? Why was I being tortured like this?! I mean, I understood this girl... well maybe I didn't. I had no idea what her life was like before this, but from what she had said, demons had made it pretty bad for her. I guess I would just have to treat her like the little sister I never had... no, that just makes this worse!

"Fine! But I am only rubbing your body and hair!" I declared, glancing down at her breasts briefly. They looked a lot nicer and softer than they did before, but they were still dirty. "I want you to rub your breasts and between your legs. If I clean those spots, there is a chance that you could lose your powers!"

"Really, I don't think that is how they work. My blessing shows me exactly what has to happen for me to lose my powers. It also shows me examples of things I can do that don't count as losing my virginity... So I don't mind if you clean everywhere..."

I turned away and clenched my fists in rage. That stupid god. This was a honey trap if I ever saw one! Sure, let her do everything but that one thing! Gah! I needed to get out of this room!

Then I heard it. Oh, the sweet voice of my angel and the others. I was finally saved!

"Shelli! Come to the bathroom!" I hollered, but then I heard a splash from behind me.

I turned to see that Misty had slipped into the water and was struggling like a turtle on its back. I shook my head but then reached down to pull her out of the water, but she caught me off balance, and I was pulled in with her.

Both of us flailed in the water, and I somehow ended up underneath Misty’s naked body, with my head barely above the water. She was pressed into me in ways that were causing a problem to arise, but I still had my clothes on at least.

In the next moment, the bathroom door burst open. "Leon? What is it? Did you run out of toilet paper... Why are you having a bath with that girl? Or why do you still have your clothes on if you two are having sex?" Shelli asked as I tried to get the upper hand with the mudfish that was trying to smother me in her breasts!

"It's not what it looks like! We are definitely not having sex! Help is what I need!!" I called out.

Shelli stared at us for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Oh, Leon, you always find yourself in the most awkward situations!"

I groaned, still struggling with Misty in the tub. "Help me get out of here, and we can discuss this outside!"

Shelli composed herself as Aria and Lyra looked in with blushing faces, and reached down to help us out of the tub. Once we were standing, albeit drenched, she raised an eyebrow. "So, what's the story here?"

I quickly explained the situation with Garland, Misty's divine blessing tied to her virginity, and the whole bath incident. Shelli listened attentively, occasionally glancing at Misty with a bemused expression.

"So, you're stuck with a virgin hero who can't lose her purity, and you have to deal with her... quirks?" Shelli summarized. “How did you end up in the bath like this?”

I nodded. "Misty refused to let Mary help get her clean and then forced me to go clean her. As for the rest of it, it's a mess, and I don't even know how to handle this. Garland is just playing games with us."

Shelli sighed. "Well, we can't let that stop us. We'll figure something out. In the meantime, let me finish with Misty here. I think that I have a couple things to teach this girl and since she is not going to be like us, we will have to teach her about keeping her body private from you."

“That would be greatly appreciated. I am only a man, and I love you girls. I don’t need more. You girls are all that I need,” I said with a sigh, and Shelli kissed me, then started pushing me out of the bathroom where Aria and Lyra were waiting, still peeking in.

"Wait! Please don't leave me!" Misty complained, and I sighed.

For someone who was just trying to slap me silly a little while ago and give me all this attitude, Misty had become quite dependent on me now. I wondered if this was all part of Garland's plan to create conflict between us, or maybe even my girls.

"Nope. I have things that I have to do. Shelli is going to teach you how to bathe properly along with a bunch of other things that you clearly need to learn. I have more important things to do," I grumbled, glancing at the now-muddy bathroom.

Shelli chuckled, patting me on the back. "Don't worry, Leon. I'll make sure she learns the basics. You can go and deal with your weapons or whatever you were planning."

As I left the bathroom, I could still hear Misty's protests and Shelli's calm explanations. I shook my head, thinking about how absurd my life had become. I needed to focus on finding a way to deal with Misty without causing unnecessary conflict.

But why?! Why me! Damn god, I was going to make him pay for this.
