Hestia | Danmachi Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon - Gallery

The soft glow of Orario’s enchanted lanterns painted Hestia’s small, humble room in shades of warm amber and deep violet. It was late, and the usual boisterous chatter of the city had long since faded into a hushed murmur. Hestia, goddess of hearth and home, sat on the edge of her worn, but surprisingly comfortable, futon, her slender fingers tracing the intricate patterns on the floor. A gentle breeze, carrying the faint scent of blooming night flowers from the nearby gardens, stirred the white strands of her hair, making them dance around her face like ethereal whispers. Tonight, her heart beat with a different rhythm, a frantic, joyful cadence that echoed the anticipation building within her. Bell, her beloved familia member, her cherished adventurer, was away on a dangerous expedition, and while his absence always left a void, it also allowed her a rare, quiet space for her own desires to bloom. Desires that had been steadily growing, nurtured by stolen glances, shared laughter, and the unspoken understanding that bloomed between a goddess and her loyal child. The air in the room felt thick with unspoken emotions, a tangible presence that Hestia could almost taste. She closed her eyes, her thoughts drifting to him, to the way his eyes, so earnest and bright, would light up when he spoke of his dreams, the way his calloused hands, so capable, would sometimes brush against hers, sending shivers of an unknown sensation through her divine being.

Hestia sighed, a soft, almost inaudible sound. It was wrong, wasn't it? For a goddess to feel this way about a mortal, about her own familia member. The rules, the ancient laws that governed deities and their relationships with mortals, were clear. Yet, her heart, a surprisingly fragile thing for an immortal, had long since ignored them. She remembered the first time she truly saw him, not just as a fledgling adventurer under her care, but as a man. It was after a particularly harrowing dungeon crawl, his face bruised and weary, his spirit still undaunted. He had returned to her, seeking solace and comfort, and in that moment, amidst the lingering scent of monster ichor and his own sweat, something shifted. A spark ignited, a warmth that spread through her veins, unlike anything she had ever experienced before. It was a dangerous fascination, a forbidden yearning, but one she couldn't, wouldn't, suppress any longer. The loneliness of immortality, once a comfortable companion, now felt like an unbearable weight, and Bell, with his unwavering kindness and fierce determination, had become the beacon that promised to chase away the shadows.

She rose, her movements fluid and graceful, a stark contrast to her usual vibrant energy. Tonight, there was a languid sensuality to her posture, a subtle invitation in the sway of her hips as she walked. She approached her small vanity, the polished wood reflecting the soft lamplight. Her reflection stared back, a young woman with striking blue eyes and a smile that held both innocence and a budding awareness of her own allure. Her iconic blue and white dress, though modest, clung to her form, subtly highlighting the generous curves of her ample bosom. She touched one breast, her fingers gently caressing the soft skin, feeling the warmth that radiated from within. It had always been a source of some pride, her… abundant gifts, but tonight, they felt different. They felt like an offering, a tangible part of herself she was ready to share. The thought sent a fresh wave of heat through her, causing her breath to hitch. She was a goddess, a powerful entity, yet in this moment, she felt utterly vulnerable, exposed by the intensity of her own longing.

A faint scratching sound at her door jolted her from her reverie. Her heart leaped into her throat. It couldn't be… Bell? He was supposed to be miles away. Hesitantly, she moved towards the door, her hand trembling as she reached for the latch. As she pulled it open, her breath caught. Standing there, silhouetted against the dim hallway light, was indeed Bell Cranel. His armor was slightly scuffed, a testament to his recent adventures, and his usually bright, eager eyes held a weariness that tugged at her heart. But beneath the fatigue, there was a look of… desperation. A longing that mirrored her own. He hadn't returned for supplies, or to report his findings. He had returned for *her*. He looked at her, his gaze sweeping over her form, lingering on the delicate fabric that barely contained her ample chest. A flush crept up his neck, a tell-tale sign of his embarrassment, but also, Hestia dared to hope, of his own awakening desires. He mumbled something, his voice rough, "Hestia… I… I needed to see you."

Hestia’s composure, so carefully constructed, shattered. A sob of pure joy and relief escaped her lips, and she threw herself into his arms, her slender body trembling against his sturdy frame. He embraced her tightly, his strength a welcome anchor. The familiar scent of his sweat, mixed with the faint, metallic tang of monster blood and the earthy aroma of the dungeon, filled her senses. It was the smell of adventure, of danger, and of *him*. "Bell! You're back! But… why? I thought you were on a long expedition!" Her voice was muffled against his chest, her eyes squeezed shut, savoring the moment. He held her a little tighter, his own breath coming in ragged gasps. "I… I couldn't stand being away any longer, Hestia. The dungeon… it was nothing compared to the ache in my heart. I needed to see your smile, to feel your presence." He pulled back slightly, just enough to look into her eyes. His gaze was intense, raw, and filled with an emotion she had only dared to dream of. "Hestia," he whispered, his voice barely audible, "I… I think I’ve fallen in love with you."

The words, so simple, so profound, struck Hestia like a bolt of divine lightning. Love. The word that had danced on the edge of her thoughts, the forbidden fruit she had nibbled at in secret, was finally spoken aloud. Her heart swelled, a tidal wave of emotion threatening to overwhelm her. Tears welled in her eyes, not of sadness, but of overwhelming happiness. She reached up, her fingers trembling, and cupped his cheek, her thumb stroking the soft stubble that had begun to grow. "Oh, Bell," she whispered, her voice thick with emotion. "I… I love you too. More than words can say. More than a goddess should, perhaps, but… I do." The confession hung in the air between them, a sacred vow, a promise whispered in the quiet intimacy of her room. The tension that had been simmering beneath the surface, the unspoken desire that had been building for so long, now coalesced, an almost palpable force drawing them together.

Bell's eyes widened slightly at her confession, a dawning realization of the mutual feelings that had been so carefully, so beautifully, nurtured. He leaned in, his forehead touching hers, his breath warm against her skin. "Hestia… are you… are you sure?" he asked, his voice laced with a hopeful disbelief. "More sure than I've ever been about anything," she breathed, her gaze locked on his. The world outside her room ceased to exist. There was only the two of them, the shared confessions, and the unspoken understanding that their feelings transcended mortal and divine boundaries. Bell's hand, warm and strong, moved from her waist to cup her cheek, his thumb gently tracing the curve of her jaw. His eyes, so full of adoration and a newfound boldness, searched hers, seeking permission, seeking more. Hestia closed her eyes, a silent assent, and then, he leaned in and his lips met hers. It was a kiss that was both tentative and utterly consuming. A kiss that held the weight of their journey, their shared struggles, and the blossoming of a love that defied all odds. Her arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him closer, deeper into the embrace. The kiss deepened, growing more passionate, more demanding. Her tongue, emboldened by the intensity of their emotions, met his, and a soft moan escaped her lips. Bell responded with a groan, his body pressing closer, his hand sliding down her back, urging her further into the passionate exploration.

As the kiss continued, Hestia felt a familiar ache begin to bloom in her core, a yearning that had been dormant for far too long, now awakened by Bell's presence and his potent affection. His hand, which had been tracing the curve of her back, moved lower, finding the hem of her dress. Hesitantly, he slipped his fingers beneath the soft fabric, his touch sending shivers of delightful anticipation through her. He traced the smooth expanse of her hip, then slowly, deliberately, began to slide his hand upwards. Hestia tilted her head back, a silent invitation, as his fingers brushed against the warm silk of her undergarment. The anticipation was exquisite, almost unbearable. She felt his breath hitch as his fingers finally made contact with the swell of her breast. Her nipples, already hardened by the building desire, peaked beneath his touch. A soft gasp escaped her lips as his thumb gently circled her areola, teasing and tormenting her sensitive skin. Bell’s fingers were surprisingly gentle, yet his touch was undeniably confident, as if he had known exactly what to do, exactly how to awaken her deepest desires.

He broke the kiss, his eyes still locked on hers, a question in their depths. Hestia, her voice a husky whisper, answered him, "Yes, Bell. Please." Emboldened by her assent, Bell’s hands moved with a newfound purpose. He carefully slid the straps of her dress off her shoulders, revealing the delicate lace of her undergarments and the generous mounds of her bosom. Her large, ripe breasts spilled forth, their creamy skin flushed with a rosy hue, her nipples taut and begging for attention. Bell’s gaze was one of pure awe, his eyes devouring the sight. He reached out, his hand cupping one of her breasts, his thumb stroking its underside, making her arch into his touch. Hestia moaned, a low, guttural sound that resonated with her growing arousal. He brought his lips to her chest, his warm breath sending waves of pleasure through her. Then, he nuzzled into the curve of her breast, his mouth finding a nipple. He suckled gently at first, then with increasing pressure, his tongue teasing and swirling around the sensitive peak. Hestia cried out, her fingers tangling in his hair, holding him close, unable to contain the torrent of sensations washing over her. Her body felt alive, electric, every nerve ending singing with pleasure. She tilted her head back further, her hips instinctively shifting, seeking more of his intimate touch. Bell’s mouth worked its magic, his lips and tongue expertly coaxing her towards the precipice of ecstasy. He explored both breasts with equal fervor, his kisses and gentle nibbles driving her wild. The feeling of his mouth on her, so tender yet so possessive, was unlike anything she had ever experienced. It was a profound intimacy, a divine connection that transcended her goddess status.

As Hestia neared her climax, Bell’s hands began to work on her dress further, his fingers fumbling slightly with the laces at her back. He managed to loosen them enough for the fabric to fall away completely, leaving her bare to his loving gaze. Her entire body was flushed, her breathing coming in ragged gasps. Bell’s eyes traced the curve of her full breasts, the delicate slope of her shoulders, and the tantalizing fullness of her hips. He looked at her as if she were the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, and in his eyes, Hestia felt truly seen, truly cherished. He then reached for his own armor, his movements quick and purposeful. He shed his tunic and breastplate, revealing a toned, muscular torso. Hestia’s gaze flickered over his form, appreciating the strength and beauty of the mortal man she had come to love so deeply. His body was lean and powerful, marked by the trials of his adventures, yet undeniably appealing. As he knelt before her, his hands gently finding the hem of her simple white undergarments, Hestia’s anticipation reached fever pitch. With a gentle tug, he slid them down her legs, leaving her completely exposed to his adoring eyes. She felt a blush creep up her neck, but Bell's gaze was so full of adoration and respect that her embarrassment quickly faded, replaced by a wave of pure desire.

Bell’s hands, now free of any fabric, explored her body with a reverence that made Hestia’s heart ache with love. He traced the curve of her hips, his fingers lightly brushing against the sensitive skin of her inner thighs. He then moved upwards, his palms caressing the soft swell of her belly, before settling on the mounds of her breasts. He cupped them, his thumbs gently stroking her nipples, sending delicious shivers through her. Hestia moaned, her body arching into his touch, her legs parting instinctively. Bell’s gaze met hers, a silent question, and Hestia nodded, her voice a breathless whisper, "Yes, Bell. I want you." Bell leaned in, his lips brushing against her clitoris, his tongue teasing it with gentle flicks. Hestia cried out, her fingers digging into his hair as she surrendered to the overwhelming pleasure. Bell’s mouth worked its magic, his tongue swirling and pressing, coaxing her towards an explosive release. Hestia’s body convulsed, her moans growing louder, more frantic, as she climaxed, a wave of pure bliss washing over her. Bell held her through it, his lips and tongue a constant source of exquisite sensation, until her body finally began to tremble and settle. He then moved to her lips, kissing her deeply, his tongue swirling with hers, sharing the aftershocks of their mutual pleasure.

As Hestia’s breathing slowly returned to normal, she found herself lying back on the futon, her body still humming with pleasure. Bell, his face flushed and his eyes shining, looked down at her with an expression of utter devotion. He gently stroked her hair, his touch tender and caring. "Hestia," he whispered, his voice filled with emotion. "Are you… are you alright?" Hestia smiled, a soft, radiant smile that reached her eyes. "More than alright, Bell. I have never felt so alive, so loved." She reached up, her fingers caressing his cheek. "Thank you, Bell. Thank you for… for this. For everything." Bell’s lips curved into a gentle smile. "It was my pleasure, Hestia. My absolute pleasure." He then lowered himself onto the futon beside her, his arm wrapping around her waist, pulling her close. Hestia nestled into his embrace, her head resting on his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart. The intimacy of the moment was profound, a quiet understanding passing between them. The world outside their small room continued its oblivious pace, but within its walls, a new chapter had begun, one filled with shared secrets, undeniable passion, and a love that was as pure and as strong as any divine decree.

Hours later, as the first hints of dawn began to paint the sky, Hestia stirred. Bell lay beside her, his breathing deep and even, his body still pressed close to hers. A warmth spread through her chest, a profound sense of contentment. Their night had been a journey of discovery, a tender exploration of their burgeoning feelings and desires. It had begun with a shared confession, a brave admission of love that had shattered the boundaries between goddess and mortal. Then, the tension had built, an electric current that had crackled between them, culminating in a passionate, yet incredibly tender, physical union. Hestia recalled the exquisite sensations of his touch, the way his mouth had worshipped her body, the overwhelming climax that had left her breathless and utterly satisfied. She remembered the way he had looked at her, his eyes filled with awe and adoration, and the way her own body had responded with an eagerness she had never known. The experience had been more than just physical; it had been a profound act of love, a sacred communion that had deepened their bond immeasurably.

She shifted slightly, her hand resting on his chest, feeling the rhythmic rise and fall of his breathing. He stirred at her movement, his eyes fluttering open. They were still groggy with sleep, but as they focused on her, a soft smile spread across his face. "Morning, Hestia," he whispered, his voice husky. Hestia leaned in and kissed him gently on the lips. "Good morning, Bell." She then traced the line of his jaw with her finger. "Did you sleep well?" Bell chuckled softly, pulling her closer. "Better than I have in a long time. Being with you… it’s like finding home." Hestia’s heart swelled at his words. "And you are my home, Bell," she whispered back, her voice filled with emotion. She then decided to take things a step further, to truly solidify the deep connection they had forged. "Bell," she began, her voice laced with a playful sensuality, "While your company is certainly… comforting… I find myself craving a little more of that delicious energy we shared last night. A little… breakfast, if you will." Bell’s eyes widened slightly, a spark of understanding igniting within them. He recognized the teasing tone, the hint of desire in her voice. He leaned in closer, his lips brushing against her ear. "Breakfast, Hestia? What kind of breakfast are you thinking of?" Hestia giggled, a sound of pure, unadulterated joy. "The kind that involves a very eager god, and a very willing adventurer," she purred, her hand sliding down his chest, then lower, her fingers brushing against his hardening member through his undergarments. Bell’s breath hitched, his body responding instantly to her touch. He groaned softly, his hand finding hers and guiding it further. "I… I think I know exactly what you mean," he managed to whisper, his voice thick with desire.

He shifted his body, positioning himself over her. His gaze was intense, filled with a mixture of passion and a deep tenderness that made Hestia’s heart flutter. He leaned down, his lips seeking hers once more, this time with a more confident, demanding hunger. Their kiss was a fiery prelude to what was to come, a promise of the pleasure they were about to rediscover. Hestia’s hands were busy now, expertly unlacing his remaining undergarments, her fingers reveling in the feel of his skin. She gasped as she encountered the impressive length and girth of his arousal. It was magnificent, a testament to his youthful vigor and the power of their shared passion. Bell, emboldened by her eager touch, began to undress her again, his movements more practiced now, his desire for her evident in every stroke. He slid her undergarments down her legs, leaving her completely bare once more, her large, ripe breasts glistening in the soft morning light. He knelt before her, his eyes devouring her form. "You are so beautiful, Hestia," he breathed, his voice filled with awe. He then brought his lips to her breasts, his tongue tracing the curves, his mouth teasing her nipples. Hestia moaned, arching into his touch, her fingers tangling in his hair. He suckled on one breast, then the other, his skilled mouth coaxing forth waves of pleasure. Hestia’s body trembled with anticipation, her hips instinctively rising from the futon. Bell then moved lower, his mouth trailing kisses down her stomach, his beard tickling her skin. He reached her navel, and Hestia felt a shiver run down her spine. He then continued his descent, his lips brushing against the apex of her thighs. Hestia gasped, her legs parting wider, her entire being focused on the exquisite sensations to come. Bell’s tongue flicked out, teasing her clitoris. Hestia cried out, her back arching sharply. Bell’s mouth worked its magic, his tongue swirling and pressing, driving her towards an intense, overwhelming pleasure. Her moans filled the small room, a testament to the power of their lovemaking. She climaxed, her body convulsing, her breath coming in ragged gasps. Bell held her through it, kissing her deeply, sharing the aftershocks of her release. As her body settled, he gently lifted her legs, positioning himself at her entrance. Their eyes met, a silent understanding passing between them. "Ready, my love?" he whispered, his voice filled with a mixture of tenderness and anticipation. Hestia nodded, her heart pounding. "Yes, Bell. I am."

With a slow, deliberate movement, Bell entered her. Hestia gasped, a sharp intake of breath as she felt the fullness of him inside her. It was a perfect fit, a union that felt both divine and deeply primal. He was generous, filling her completely, stretching her to her limits. A soft moan escaped her lips as he began to move, his thrusts slow and deep. The friction was exquisite, a perfect dance of pleasure. Hestia wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him closer, urging him deeper. Bell’s eyes were locked on hers, his expression one of pure, unadulterated bliss. He whispered her name, his voice rough with emotion, "Hestia…" Hestia answered him with a soft sigh, her body responding to his every movement. The rhythm of their lovemaking intensified, their bodies moving in perfect synchronicity. The soft sounds of their exertions filled the room, a symphony of passion. Hestia felt herself building again, the pleasure intensifying with each thrust. Bell’s movements became more urgent, more demanding, his breaths coming in ragged gasps. He whispered words of love and desire into her ear, his hands caressing her back, her hips, urging her on. Hestia cried out as she neared her climax, her body arching, her pleasure reaching an unbearable peak. Bell felt her build, and with a powerful surge, he thrust deep inside her, his own climax imminent. He whispered her name one last time, a raw, guttural sound, and then he poured himself into her, filling her with his love and his seed. Hestia cried out again, a piercing sound of pure ecstasy, as she felt the warmth of his release spread through her. They held each other tightly, their bodies slick with sweat, their hearts beating as one. The sounds of their pleasure slowly faded, replaced by the gentle sounds of their contented breaths. Bell collapsed onto her, his weight a comforting presence, his body still throbbing within hers. Hestia held him close, her fingers stroking his damp hair, a sense of profound peace settling over her. The sun was now fully risen, casting a warm glow into the room, a silent witness to the beautiful intimacy they had shared. This was more than just a physical encounter; it was a sacred bond, a testament to a love that had blossomed against all odds, a love that was as potent and as enduring as the divine spark within her. She, Hestia, goddess of hearth and home, had found a new hearth, a new home, in the arms of her beloved adventurer.
