Divine Milking System

The familiar sensation of reality shifting surrounded us as my cramped dorm room dissolved, replaced by the luxury suite of my pocket dimension. Belle glanced around, noting the upgrade.

"It’s bigger," she said. "And... different."

She was right. The Bronze upgrade had changed the space. The bed was larger, the windows wider with a more impressive view. The lighting was softer, more ambient. Even the air smelled better—sandalwood and vanilla instead of the generic "clean" scent from before.

"I made some improvements last night." I moved toward her. "Bronze rank now. Longer duration. And capacity for two people besides me."

Her eyebrows shot up. "Two? So you could bring Naomi and me in here together?"

"Exactly."

"Planning ahead, I see." She shook her head. "You’re becoming quite the operator, Jace Monroe."

"I prefer to think of it as adapting to my circumstances." I reached for her, placing my hands on her waist. "Now, about that buff..."

Belle didn’t resist as I pulled her closer. Her body was warm against mine, soft in all the right places.

"How do you want to do this?" she asked, her voice dropping to a husky whisper. "Quick and dirty, or do you have something special planned with your new toy?"

I smiled, leaning in until my lips were just brushing her ear. "How about I show you instead of tell you?"

I activated Sensory Hijack again, this time focusing on two senses: touch and smell.

Belle gasped as her perception changed. Under my ability, my fingertips felt like silk against her skin, and the air around us suddenly carried the scent of ocean breeze and tropical flowers—her favorite vacation spot, she’d mentioned once.

"Oh my god," she breathed, her eyes widening. "That’s..."

"Just the beginning," I promised, guiding her toward the bed. "By the time we’re done, you’ll be begging for more than just a Silver buff."

Her amber eyes locked with mine, pupils dilated with arousal and amazement. "You’re dangerous with that ability."

"You have no idea."

I kissed her again, deeper this time, making her taste rich chocolate and salted caramel on my tongue while my hands felt like warm velvet against her skin. She moaned into my mouth, her resistance forgotten.

When I pulled back, Belle was breathing hard, her cheeks flushed.

"You fight dirty," she accused, but there was no anger in her voice—only heat.

"Always." I reached for the hem of her sweater. "Now, let’s get you out of these clothes and properly buffed before your treasure hunt."

"Yes," she agreed, lifting her arms to help me remove the garment. "But this conversation isn’t over. You’re going to tell me everything about how you acquired Aurora’s ability."

I pulled the sweater over her head, revealing a black lace bra that made my mouth go dry. "Later," I promised. "Right now, I have better uses for my mouth than talking."

Belle’s laugh turned into a moan as I demonstrated exactly what I meant.

An hour later, Belle collapsed beside me on the Sanctum’s massive bed, her body glistening with sweat, her chest rising and falling with heavy breaths.

"Holy... fuck..." she panted. "That was..."

"Different?" I supplied, equally breathless.

"Criminal." She turned her head to look at me. "You should be locked up for what you just did to me."

I grinned, reaching over to brush a strand of blue hair from her face. "You weren’t complaining five minutes ago. In fact, I distinctly remember you saying—"

"Shut up." She swatted my hand away, but her eyes were smiling. "Wow. Just... wow."

The combination of Euphoric Feedback and Sensory Hijack had taken her apart piece by piece. I’d made her feel phantom touches across her entire body while targeting her most sensitive spots. Made her taste everything from champagne to dark chocolate when I kissed her. Made her smell her favorite scents while seeing colors dance behind her closed eyelids.

She’d come four times before I even started the extraction process.

"So," I said casually, "did you get what you came for?"

Belle stretched like a satisfied cat. "And then some. The buff’s active. I can sense every valuable item within a hundred meters right now." She paused, concentrating. "Including a gold watch in your roommate’s sock drawer, by the way. Expensive one too."

I filed that information away for later. Hikaru with an expensive watch? Interesting.

"How long until you have to go treasure hunting?"

Belle checked her phone, which had materialized back with us when we returned to my real bedroom. "Forty minutes. Why?"

I pulled her closer, my hand sliding down her bare stomach. "Because I’m not done with you yet."

Her breath caught. "Jace, I don’t think I can—"

"You can." I activated Sensory Hijack again, making her feel a phantom touch between her legs before my hand even reached there. "Trust me."

Her head fell back against the pillow, a moan escaping her lips. "Cheater."

"You love it."

"Maybe," she admitted, spreading her legs to give me better access. "But next time, I want to see what happens when you use this on Naomi while I’m watching."

The image that conjured sent a fresh surge of heat through me. "That can be arranged."

Belle’s smile was wicked. "I thought it might."

As I lowered my head between her thighs, making her taste sweetness on my tongue with each lick, I reflected on how quickly everything had changed. A week ago, I was a desperate, dying man with nothing but a weird ability and a death timer. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Now I had upgraded abilities, multiple women who knew my secret and still wanted me, and a growing reputation as someone who could actually fight.

Life was good.

At least until Blair Davenport decided to burn it all down.

But that was a problem for tomorrow. Right now, I had a blue-haired treasure hunter to satisfy, and a whole new ability to explore.

"Stop thinking so much," Belle commanded, her fingers tangling in my hair. "Focus."

I grinned against her inner thigh. "Yes, ma’am."
