Chapter 660: Family Discipline and Crimson Banners
Ethan walked down the short, elegant corridor leading into his private residential quarters on the upper floor of the pavilion. Pushing the heavy doors open, he found Louisa and Mary waiting for him inside the brightly lit chamber. The moment his massive frame stepped through the entrance, both women instantly stood up, smoothing down their dresses before executing a graceful, deeply respectful reverence toward him.
Every single day that passed left them more thoroughly marveled by this towering, unshakeable man. To Louisa, there was an absolute, profound certainty that she could never have secured a more magnificent, heroic husband in this entire world. Mary, looking at his broad shoulders and commanding presence, harbored the exact same sentiment; she knew with complete clarity that no mother could have ever dreamed of a more powerful, protective, and providers-driven son-in-law.
"I have already told you both multiple times that there is absolutely no logistical need to be so incredibly formal with me within these walls," Ethan said smoothly, a low, masculine chuckle escaping his chest. "I am going to take a quick, refreshing bath. The grand opening is about to initiate, so make sure you both look exceptionally beautiful for our public debut."
Mary’s mature face carried a slight, anxious tremor, her dark eyes looking down at her neatly folded hands. "But... Master Ethan... are you absolutely certain it is wise for us to appear by your side today? We are merely simple commoners from the borderlands. We possess no high cultivation lineages... we are deeply afraid we will only ruin the magnificent grandeur of your supreme status if the high-tier elders see us."
Ethan didn’t even hesitate. He took two heavy, predatory strides forward, completely closing the distance between them. Reaching out with his large, warm hands, he aggressively grabbed Louisa right by her voluptuous buttocks, pulling her small, delicate body firmly against his thighs before giving one of her soft cheeks a sharp, stinging slap that made her let out a soft gasp.
"My woman is the absolute, finest rose that decorates everything I own on this mountain," said Ethan, his amethyst eyes flashing with a dark, terrifyingly possessive intensity. "If any foolish bastard dares to utter a single word suggesting you are not perfectly adequate to stand by my side, I will personally reach across the room and violently rip his head clean off his shoulders."
Before Mary could even process the sheer dominance of his words, Ethan’s other arm shot out, catching his mature mother-in-law firmly around her slender, trembling waist. He pulled her flush against his side, his large, mischievous hand immediately sliding down to heavily knead and massage one of her ripe, silk-covered buttocks with a thoroughly uninhibited strength.
"And what about you, my beautiful and dearest mother-in-law?" Ethan whispered darkly against her ear, making her entire body violently shiver with a delicious heat. "Are you truly going to question my executive decisions today, or do you perhaps wish to experience a thorough, private taste of my family discipline right now before the gates open?"
"Ah... Master Ethan... please..." Mary whimpered softly, her entire face instantly exploding into a deep, burning crimson as she clutched at his thick forearms, completely powerless against the heavy, intoxicating gravity of his touch.
Under the relentless, playful insistence of Louisa, the relationship between the three of them had gradually transformed into something incredibly ambiguous and highly sinful behind closed doors. Louisa had quickly come to realize that seeing Ethan was becoming increasingly difficult; the man was moving on a vastly higher chessboard, only returning to their private quarters once every two or three days depending on his alchemical and political progress. He would stay for only a handful of hours, but those brief hours were always more than enough to make her touch the absolute heights of heaven and the deepest torments of exhaustion multiple times over before Ethan’s monstrous, unyielding physical endurance could even reach its first release. For Louisa, the thought of having her beautiful mother share a fragment of both her divine bliss and her agonizing, breathless pleasure sounded like an absolutely excellent solution.
"Let’s take that bath," said Ethan, his voice dropping into a deep, gravelly register that left no room for argument.
Without breaking stride, he effortlessly hoisted Louisa into his massive arms, her legs instantly wrapping around his waist as she buried her flushed face into his neck. He turned his piercing amethyst eyes back toward Mary, who stood frozen by the edge of the bed, her breath coming in short, ragged gasps as she watched him handle her daughter with such casual supremacy.
"If you wish to join us, Mother, you are always more than welcome to step inside," Ethan added, a dark, thoroughly amused smile curling his lips. "The water is perfectly warm."
He turned and marched straight into the spacious, steam-filled bathing chamber, the heavy wooden door clicking shut but remaining entirely unlocked behind him. The massive stone tub was overflowing with pristine, mountain-warmed spring water, casting an ethereal mist through the room.
Ethan set Louisa down on the smooth marble ledge, his large hands efficiently stripping away the remaining silk of her dress until her pale, voluptuous body was completely exposed to the humid air. Her skin was already flushed pink from the heat and the intense anticipation.
"I do not have an abundance of time right now, my love," Ethan murmured, his large fingers gripping her hips with an iron strength. "The grand opening initiates in less than an hour, and my assistants are already deploying the banners. This will have to be exceptionally quick and efficient."
"Yes, my titan... please..." Louisa whimpered, her hands gripping the marble edge for balance.
Ethan didn’t waste a single second on useless moderation. He smoothly guided her body forward, bending her over the stone ledge and bracing her weight. Positioning himself behind her magnificent, upturned curves, he drove himself forward with a single, unyielding thrust, penetrating her directly and completely to the absolute core.
"Ahhh!" Louisa screamed out, a sharp, breathless cry of pure, unadulterated ecstasy echoing off the damp stone walls as her fingers clawed frantically at the smooth marble.
But before Ethan could even establish his heavy, devastating rhythm, the heavy wooden door of the chamber softly creaked open.
Stepping through the thick, swirling steam was Mary. She had completely discarded her robes, her mature, breathtakingly ripe body glistening with a light sheen of nervous sweat. Her large, dark eyes were fixed firmly on the floor, her fingers trembling with a profound, intoxicating shyness as she took a slow, hesitant step toward the edge of the stone tub.
"I... I also want a little bit of your warmth, Master Ethan..." Mary whispered, her tone incredibly timid and sweet, yet completely filled with a desperate, deeply suppressed hunger that she could no longer fight.
Louisa, despite being thoroughly stretched and claimed by Ethan’s massive size, managed to look back through her tangled hair, a wild, completely delighted smile breaking through her breathless gasps. "Come... Mother... join us... let him discipline us both before the dawn breaks...".
