Kyle pricked his fingertip with the needle. A sharp jolt of pain shot through him.
"Agh!" he hissed, jerking his hand back.
Immediately, a translucent system window appeared:
[Self-Control feature: Not unlocked yet.]
Kyle froze, staring at the message. `Yet? So, it could open in the future..`
He set the needle down, breathing deeply. `Patience… one step at a time.`
Next day, morning sun seeped through the shutters as Kyle woke. He got dressed and went downstairs.
Eleanor stood at the hearth, back to him. The sunlight turned her hair golden. Her curves pressed against the fabric as she stirred porridge, and even from behind, her big breasts were visible.
`God, I want to bend her over that counter.`
He cleared his throat.
She turned, smiling. "Good morning."
"Good morning," He greeted, sitting at the table. "Where's Alden?"
"He went to settle a land dispute." She flipped oatcakes on a griddle.
"Need any help?" Kyle asked.
"Sit. It's almost ready." She bent to take a jar of honey, giving him a perfect view of her plump ass.
`Fuck. I wish I could touch that ass—` Kyle blinked for a moment as he absorbed something. `Wait.. can't I.. control her mind and do whatever I want with her?`
`..Why didn't I think of this before?` Kyle was even more shocked. Not because of the many naughty things he could do, but because he didn't think about this earlier.
`Have I become stupid? Impossible!` Kyle's expressions changed to fear.
After some thought, his expressions eased. `No, it's not that I've become stupid.. rather, it's because I don't always think about naughty things.`
At the same time, Eleanor turned, balancing a plate of oatcakes. Her breasts swaying gently.
`Humans really turn into demons when they get power,` He traced her breasts with his gaze `Because I'm about to do something real evil~`
Her breasts strained against her dress as she leaned forward to pour milk into Kyle's cup. that slow, deliberate motion made his cock twitch.
`Patience,` he told his cock. `I need to raise her affection first.`
He bit into an oatcake. Sweetness exploded on his tongue. "This honey's incredible. Did you harvest it yourself?"
Eleanor smiled softly. "From our hives out back. Alden built the boxes."
Kyle watched her hips sway as she fetched butter. "Lucky man.. Goddess must have smiled upon him for giving him such a beautiful wife."
Breakfast passed with talk and subtle flirting. Kyle praised her and teased lightly, though her affection didn't budge.
`This is harder than I expected.`
After breakfast, Kyle went to the kitchen to help her wash the dishes. "Let me." He nudged her aside, their hips brushing.
"You don't need to," Eleanor protested weakly. "Guests don't scrub dishes."
"I'm not a guest anymore." He plunged his hands into the suds. "Besides, watching you work alone hurts my conscience." `And my cock.`
Eleanor smiled without saying anything else, but Kyle noticed her affection increase on the stats screen: [Affection: 9% → 10%].
`Oh, It seems that she prefers actions over words.. Perfect.`
Kyle continued helping Eleanor around the house. Hanging the laundry, carrying heavy things for her, and tidying up the garden next to the house.
By dusk, both of them trudged inside after finishing tidying up the garden. Eleanor collapsed into a chair, groaning as she rubbed her neck.
Kyle summoned her stats with a thought: [Affection: 13%]
`Good, now I can move on to the next step.` He thought as he approached her.
"Long day, huh?" He said.
"Yeah.. thanks for helping today." She rubbed her shoulder.
"No problem.. Need a massage?"
"Oh, you don't have—"
"Please," he said, standing behind her. "I'm good at it."
Her resistance faded as Kyle's hand settled on her shoulder, soft and warm. "..Alright. Just for a moment."
[Mind Control: Activate]
His pupils flashed crimson. Mentally, he commanded: `Every touch during this massage will make you feel pleasure. Twice as good as masturbating.`
The command rooted itself without her knowing.
`Did it work?` Kyle wondered as he moved his hands slightly on her shoulder.
"Ah~!" Eleanor moaned immediately as Kyle moved his hands. She clamped a hand over her mouth.
"Too hard?" He asked, feigned concern. His smile widened when he knew that the command was working.
"N-no.." She swallowed. "It's.. good."
He nodded and started moving his hands. His thumbs dug into her shoulders and slid to the neck.
"Mhmm~" Her hips shifted unconsciously.
With each touch, Eleanor felt a jolt through her body. Her nipples hardened. Her thighs pressed together as heat pooled low in her belly.
`W-why does this feel..? It's like he's touching me.. there.` She covered her mouth with her hands to stifle her moan. `It makes me feel hot.`
Kyle was enjoying her view. `Fuck, I could take her right now.`
But he didn't. Instead, he moved his thumbs against the back of her neck until she shivered. Then—
`Now.` He pressed on a specific spot.
"Hnngh~!" She clamped a hand over her mouth as her back arched. Thighs pressed together, wetness pooling. This press brought her to orgasm.
"All done," he said, stepping back. "Better?"
"Y-yes.." she trembled. "T-thank you."
The air was filled with the scent of her arousal. Under her dress, her nipples hardened and her wet pussy was already dripping. When she got up, Kyle noticed a wet spot on her ass. his cock strained against his pants.
[Affection: 13% → 15%]
`Soon.. very soon, you'll be mine.`
---
Alden returned at sunset, shaking forest debris from his cloak.
"Smells divine, love!" he boomed, eyeing roasted pheasant. Then clapped Kyle's shoulder. "Glad you kept my wife company."
Kyle grinned. "Least I could do."
They settled around the table. "Old man Haggerty's goats ate Widow Marl's prize roses again." Alden said while tearing into a drumstick with gusto. "Took three hours and two flagons of cider to stop them screeching like goblins."
Eleanor set a steaming platter between them. "Then perhaps next time," she said drily, "let the goats eat Haggerty."
Alden's laughter boomed through the cozy kitchen as Kyle smiled softly.
"Speaking of goats.." Kyle leaned forward. "I've been thinking to go to the forest to hunt and earn my living. I don't want to burden both of you."
"But it's dangerous!" Eleanor's cutlery clattered.
Alden beamed. "Fine by me! Luna and Garrick will go hunting tomorrow morning. I will ask them to take you along."
"Agreed!"
`Time to increase my stats!`
