Kai kept his wicked smirk hidden as he watched the red warning screens glitch out and slowly fade away into the corners of his vision.
The game system literally did not know how to process what he was doing right now because the primary objective of "sucking" wasn't actually met, but a very high level of intimacy was definitely happening.
He had successfully found the blind spot in the code, and he was totally going to abuse it for everything it was worth.
He moved his single finger, swirling it slowly and deliberately around her most pussy right under the water. The crazy contrast of the icy bath surrounding them and the confident, warm pressure of his hand made Sheila gasp out loud.
She gripped his shoulders tightly, her nails digging slightly into his bare skin as she tried to process the sudden rush of pleasure.
"What about you, Sheila?" Kai asked, keeping his voice a low and teasing whisper as he maintained that steady, maddening rhythm with his hand.
"Are you turned on?"
She let out a light moan that echoed beautifully across the tiled walls of the bathroom, clearly caught entirely off guard by his sudden change in tactics and the intense sensation shooting straight up her spine.
Her icy blue eyes fluttered shut for a brief second, and her terrifying boss persona completely melted away into need.
"I told you before," Sheila breathed out, her chest heaving heavily as she looked back down at him with a hazy gaze.
"You are quite different from the others I have seen."
"Thanks for the compliment," Kai replied smoothly.
He knew he had to keep moving and keep her totally distracted from the fact that he was blatantly ignoring her direct order.
If she realised he was avoiding her chest because of his pathetic stats, the whole illusion of him being a mysterious and powerful guy would shatter instantly.
He leaned his face forward again, closing the tiny gap between them. The red warning text immediately threatened to pop back up the second he got close to her boobs, so he played it safe.
Instead of taking her busty breast into his mouth and triggering the critical aura transfer, he just extended his tongue and dragged it lightly across her plush, pink nipple.
It was a gamble, but his quick gamer logic paid off perfectly.
The system stayed completely quiet. A tiny yellow notification dinged happily in the corner of his eye, registering the light lick as basic foreplay rather than a dangerous power drain.
He was surviving on pure technicalities, and it felt amazing.
Taking advantage of her distracted state, Kai increased his attack and slipped a second finger inside her.
He leaned upright as she arched her back, capturing her soft lips in a deep kiss. The kiss started slow and cautious, but it quickly turned incredibly passionate as Sheila immediately kissed him back with a hungry desperation that totally betrayed her cold and untouchable Ice Witch title.
She tasted sweet and powerful, and her body pressed soft against his chest under the water.
Her hands tangled tightly in his wet hair. Driven by her own rising pleasure, she tried to push his head back down toward her chest, clearly wanting him to finish the job she had ordered him to do just a few minutes ago.
Her grip was strong, practically trying to force his face exactly where she wanted it.
Kai stubbornly locked his neck muscles and held his ground, completely refusing to let her push him into a game-over screen.
'If I let her push my face down there right now, I am literally going to pass out and drown in this tub,' Kai thought frantically, fighting against her physical strength without making it look like a struggle.
He needed to use his proven dirty talk exploit to keep her brain foggy, farm his mana, and stop her from focusing on what he wasn't doing. He pulled his lips away from hers just enough to speak, making sure to keep his tone incredibly confident.
"You feel so fucking incredible," Kai murmured right against her wet lips, shifting his two fingers to hit a deeper angle that made her long legs tremble weakly against his hips.
"You are so tight and warm. Tell me the truth, Sheila. Are you always this ready and waiting for a guest to show up in your bath, or is it just me making you feel this good?"
Sheila whimpered softly into his mouth, her hips rolling forward completely on instinct to chase the grip of his hand. She couldn't even form a proper sentence to answer his teasing question.
"I bet those annoying village elders have absolutely no idea what their powerful boss sounds like when she is getting touched like this in her own private tub," Kai whispered right against her jawline, trailing soft kisses down her neck to keep her distracted.
"They probably think you are made of ice, but you are actually melting right in my hand."
[Target highly aroused.]
[Bond +0.5]
[Mana +15]
The system notifications chimed happily in his vision, confirming that his strategy was working flawlessly.
He was gaining resources, building his bond meter, and keeping his dignity totally intact without risking a critical shutdown.
"Shut up and touch me more," Sheila ordered breathlessly.
She sounded way more like a desperate girl begging for relief than a terrifying boss monster commanding an underling. At this point, she completely abandoned her attempt to push his head down, choosing instead to wrap her arms tight around his neck and ride his hand with completely unhidden desperation.
Kai smiled against her skin, totally ready to push his luck and see exactly how far he could take this new exploit.
He was about to tell her exactly what he planned to do to her on the edge of the stone tub, fully preparing to max out his experience bar for the day.
But suddenly, the entire mansion violently shook.
The stone floor vibrated so hard that the hot spring water splashed wildly over the edges of the pool.
Before Kai could even ask what the hell was happening, an ear-piercing screech tore through the quiet night air right outside the frosted bathroom windows.
The terrible sound was so loud and unnatural that it made Kai's teeth ache and his ears ring.
Sheila's hazy blue eyes snapped wide open, the lust instantly vanishing from her face as her regular demeanour kicked in.
The romantic atmosphere shattered into a million pieces in a single second.
