The Soft Touch was in full effect now, a gentle magic that turned something innocent into something profoundly intimate.
He leaned closer, voice brushing her ear like silk.
"Your skin feels like warm velvet, Big Sister Ella."
She shivered.
"That... that's inappropriate," she murmured, her tone half-hearted. "You should eat."
But she didn't pull away.
Instead, when Jaden slowly dragged his thumbs along the soft curve of her neck and dipped his fingers toward the bare edge of her back, Ella let out a low moan—quiet and trembling, as if it had escaped her by mistake.
"I... I shouldn't be enjoying this," she whispered.
"But you are," he replied softly.
And she didn't deny it.
Jaden's fingers brushed the fabric clinging to her upper arms. He let them trail downward until the sleeves loosened slightly and began to slip. She gasped, but still—no protest.
"May I?" he asked, his breath warm against the nape of her neck.
She nodded.
Jaden gently pulled her sleeves further down, revealing the smooth expanse of her upper back and shoulders. He placed his hands directly against her bare skin now, feeling the warmth rise beneath his palms. Her breathing was shallow, rapid.
"You're trembling, Big Sister."
"It's because... your hands feel strange," she said, eyes fluttering closed. "They make my whole body ache."
Jaden's heart thudded in his chest, not from nerves—but from growing power.
The Soft Touch pulsed, glowing within him like a dormant beast finally stretching its limbs.
As his fingers slid along her skin, Ella leaned forward, resting her head on her arms, her back arched just enough that the neckline of her maid uniform slipped—revealing more of her.
From his angle, he could see the gentle swell of her breasts pressing softly against the fabric, rising and falling with every breath she took. His fingers moved along the base of her neck, then down to her shoulder blades.
Every motion, every knead, pulled another breathy moan from her lips.
Then he said, softly, "If I could ease your pain like this every day, would you let me?"
Ella turned her head to him. Her cheeks were flushed, eyes glazed with emotion she didn't know how to name.
"Only if you call me Big Sister Ella," she whispered.
He chuckled gently. "Then I'll make you feel good, Big Sister Ella."
She gave a nervous giggle, a sound so innocent and sweet it made the heat between them feel even more forbidden.
Without warning, Jaden's hands slipped forward, brushing the top of her chest.
Ella gasped. "Jaden...!"
"I'm sorry—was that wrong?"
She looked at him. Her eyes were dazed, but not angry. Her mouth parted slightly, lips pink and trembling. Her chest heaved, pushing the soft curves of her breasts just barely into view.
"I didn't say stop," she whispered.
Jaden gently turned her around, and now she was facing him, her uniform pulled low enough to expose the tops of her breasts. He couldn't look away. They were round, firm, natural in a way that made his throat go dry.
Her skin glowed like porcelain kissed by sunlight. Her nipples—light pink and hardened—stood proud, like delicate rosebuds after the morning dew.
And yet her expression held a kind of raw elegance. Her beauty wasn't just in her body—it was in the way she trembled when he touched her, in how she clung to self-control even as her body betrayed her.
Jaden cupped her breast with one hand, fingers exploring the weight and warmth of it, and she let out a gasp so raw it made his pulse surge.
Then came the moan—long, needy, trembling with suppressed hunger. She tried to hide her face, tried to muffle the sound with her sleeve, but it slipped past her lips anyway, sultry and soft.
Jaden leaned forward, kissed her neck, then slowly, gently drew his lips down to her breast. He let his tongue flick over the sensitive skin, tasting her, teasing her.
Her back arched.
"Jaden—ah—!"
She covered her mouth again, but he wasn't done.
He sucked softly, then harder, drawing one nipple into his mouth and rolling it with his tongue while massaging the other breast with his hand. Her legs quivered.
Then—

[Mission Complete: Seduce Maid Ella]
[Reward Acquired: Charming Eyes]
The system's message was clear, but Jaden barely noticed. Ella's fingers dug into his shoulders, her body trembling with the pleasure only he could give.
Ella was a mess of beauty and undone modesty.
Hair tousled, lips kiss-swollen, cheeks blushed, body warm and sticky from the waves of pleasure she had just ridden. She looked up at Jaden through half-lidded eyes, breath ragged and chest rising with every sigh.
"You... You're wicked," she whispered, a tiny smile tugging at her lips.
"And yet you still want more," he murmured, brushing his fingers down her thigh.
She didn't deny it.
Instead, she slowly fixed her uniform, cheeks pink with lingering heat, and stood shakily.
"I'll take the tray... and bring fresh sheets," she said quietly. "You should rest. You're still healing."
He grinned. "From you? I'm not sure I'll ever recover."
She gave him a playful glare and walked to the door, pausing with one hand on the knob.
"And next time… don't stop halfway."
She left.
As the door clicked shut behind Ella, silence returned to the dim room—except for the loud pounding in Jaden's chest. He leaned back against the wall, grinning to himself.

[New Ability Activated: Charming Eyes]
The familiar translucent screen shimmered before his eyes.
[Charming Eyes: When activated, the target will be enchanted by your gaze. They will obey commands without hesitation. Effects are stronger on those emotionally or sexually vulnerable. Permanent if used on someone equal or lower in level.]
Jaden stared at the ability window.
"System, how do I activate this?" he asked.
> [Simple. Make direct eye contact, focus your intent, and say 'Activate Charming Eyes'. You'll know when it's working.] [But don't forget, overuse on the same person may make them suspicious. Blend desire with manipulation. Make them love you, not just serve you.]
Jaden smirked.
"Understood."
He glanced down at his new stats again, noting the impressive boost from just one successful encounter:

But first, he had to survive this mansion.
