The intensity was far beyond anything before. It was only at this moment that Chuck finally realized something was very different. As his rational mind regained control, he looked down.
On Julia's slightly bulging lower abdomen, a floating light screen appeared—one he had never seen before—displaying a ticking countdown.
[Detection: Companion—Julia's Essence Reservoir has been breached. Energy essence is being consumed for immediate structural repair. Current Essence Amount: 51.2g. Remaining repair time: 51.2s.] [Warning: Ensure withdrawal from the reservoir before energy essence is depleted, otherwise severe consequences may occur!]
A cold chill ran down Chuck's spine. He finally understood what he had unintentionally done.
"Haa... haa..."
Beneath him, Julia's face was flushed a deep crimson, her pupils blown and unfocused. She was gasping for air, her body twitching as she fought to process the overwhelming sensory overload. Chuck could feel the "rubber ring" at the base of his spearhead tightening and loosening rhythmically with her shallow breaths. A hot, viscous sensation swirled around him; it was the essence he had pumped into her day after day, now acting as a protective lubricant and repair agent.
Every second, the count dropped by one gram. Every second, the red warning blinked faster. Chuck didn't know what the "severe consequences" were, and he didn't want to find out. Julia was the one person he refused to hurt.
His mind went cold, and his Blood Qi receded. His "weapon" returned to its standard size as he cautiously began to withdraw.
"Ohh... oh god!"
With a wet squelch and a sharp cry from Julia, her legs curled tightly over his shoulders. Chuck felt his now-softened spear scrape back past that narrow "ring" in the opposite direction, finally popping out of that mysterious, sticky chamber.
He looked down nervously. The countdown vanished, and the essence display stopped at 32.7g.
Julia lay there, her body still racking with tremors. The sensation had been so primal, so deep, that it left her in a state of physical shock and vague terror. As the feeling receded, she looked up at him with watery eyes and a trembling voice.
"Darling... that... that felt so strange..."
"I'm sorry, Julia. I went too far. I'm so sorry." Chuck felt a wave of crushing guilt. He lay down beside her, pulling her sweat-soaked, shivering body into his arms. He rubbed her smooth back with his broad hand, his heart hammering with a lingering fear.
As he consumed more potions, he was becoming something else. He was now so powerful that a moment of carelessness could maim the person he loved most. If he had done this to the delicate Momo, or to Kaoru and Kaede who hadn't yet undergone the trial to store essence... the results would have been catastrophic.
"Did it hurt?" he whispered.
"It's okay... it didn't really hurt." Julia pressed her face into his massive chest. Thanks to the essence's protection, she hadn't suffered any actual damage. "It was just so intense. I was scared."
She hooked a long, pale leg over him, rubbing her soft foot against his calf. To Chuck's surprise, she looked up, and her blue eyes were filled with pink hearts. Her hand reached down, wrapping around his still-hot member. She began to stroke it.
"Darling... I want to keep going."
Chuck froze. Looking at her expression, there wasn't a trace of fear left—only the insatiable hunger of a succubus.
"Didn't it hurt?" he asked, incredulous. He had reached her innermost sanctum.
"Mmm." Julia bit her lip, lost in love.
Chuck chuckled ruefully. "Do you even know what just happened?"
"I don't know... but it felt so deep, so stimulating. It was so good my brain felt hot. Darling, you're so big..." As she spoke, she guided him back toward her soaking, heaving entrance.
Chuck was amazed. He thought she couldn't handle it, but she was already begging for more. "I was inside your 'palace' just now. You didn't feel that?"
"Was that it?" Her eyes widened in surprise, but her face flushed even darker with excitement. She sped up her hand, her juices flowing freely again. "Can we do it again?"
"It's dangerous, you little fool." He stroked her cheek. The essence storage limit was 60g, meaning he could only stay in that deepest chamber for a minute at most before the "repair fluid" ran out. Long-term "internal" sex was currently impossible.
But only currently. If his essence evolved with future potions, maybe "palace-fucking" would become a reality.
"Then just do it the normal way..." Julia's breath was scorching. The thrill of being "breached" had triggered a massive submissive response. She was drenched in pheromones and desperate for him.
Chuck glanced around. Elena and Momo were busy outside; Kaoru and Kaede were gathering wood. As for Janet... he could see a few strands of red hair peeking through the window. He didn't care.
He looked at the woman who could always ignite his soul. "Fine. I'll be gentler this time."
"Mmm~"
Julia nodded happily, pressing her burning body against his. They lay on their sides, face to face, one of her legs hooked over his hip. He entered her slowly, his broad chest crushing her breasts.
He moved with a slow, deliberate rhythm. There was no violent slapping of skin—only the hypersensitive friction of every fold and ridge.
Outside, the red-haired figure by the window eventually slipped away.
"I'm coming... Darling!" Julia gasped after a long while, her toes locking and her hands cupping Chuck's face.
"Me too."
Chuck increased the pace. Julia's back broke out in goosebumps as she reached a violent, thrashing peak. Chuck pulled her so tight he felt like they were merging into one, burying his face in her neck as he filled her to the brim.
After lunch, Chuck processed the bear carcass. He kept the fat for soap and the bones for tools, discarding the maggot-prone meat. He returned to the platform quickly; the jungle was more dangerous now with the "Silver Ghost" out there.
He knew the conflict with the Russian woman was a linguistic misunderstanding, but he also knew he wouldn't get a chance to explain. He had to protect his harem. He spent the afternoon setting tripwires and alarms on the narrow path leading up to his home.
By nightfall, he felt a bit more secure. Prevention was better than a counter-attack.
That night, despite the morning's marathon, the women were still hungry. Chuck, the harem master, fulfilled his duties one by one. This time, he controlled his Blood Qi, ensuring he didn't breach any gates.
He pinned Elena down, suckling her breasts while filling her from below. He carried Momo around the room like a "meat-cup," her small frame trembling as he walked and thrust. He grabbed Kaede by her hair, driving into her from behind until she was completely broken, and finally emptied his tank inside Kaoru as he held her slender feet.
The cabin was a symphony of wet slaps and moans. Finally, as the women drifted into an essence-filled sleep, Chuck stood up to open a window for fresh air.
"Hey, Chuck."
A familiar voice came from the doorway. Chuck turned to see Janet. She had been in the storage room since dinner, but now she was leaning against the frame, red hair messy, looking at him.
Just like the night before. But with one major difference.
Julia's aunt, the curvaceous, kind-hearted redhead, was wearing her loose sweatpants, but her upper body was completely, gloriously naked.
She was holding her massive, basketball-sized breasts up with her arms. The soft fat spilled over her forearms like water balloons. In the moonlight, her pale skin showed faint blue veins, and her large, ripe areolas were pebbled and firm. Her nipples were dark and perky, an irresistible invitation.
She met Chuck's stunned gaze and let out a sultry, knowing smile. She beckoned him with a single, white finger.
"Well, soldier... did you forget the promise you made to me?"
