Kyle brought the tip of the needle close, then quickly pricked his finger.
"Agh!" he hissed and pulled his hand back, feeling the pain.
Tiny drops of blood started coming out where he'd pricked his finger.
`It seems that I can't... unfortunately` He set the needle down, breathing deeply. `It's okay. My skill are pretty good as it is.`
The next day, Kyle woke up to the sunlight streaming through the window. He got up, put on his clothes, and then went downstairs.
Eleanor was standing at the hearth, her back facing him. The dress could not hide her curves as she stirred the pot. And even from behind, her breasts could be seen.
`God, I want to bend her over that counter.`
Eleanor noticed Kyle's presence, so she turned and smiled at him warmly. "Good morning."
"Good morning, where is Alden?" He sat at on a chair at the table.
"He went to settle a land dispute." She flipped the oatcakes onto a tray.
"Do you need any help?" Kyle asked.
"Sit down. I'm almost done." She bent down 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 as he absorbed something. `Wait... can't I... control her mind and do whatever I want with her?`
`Wait... Why didn't I think of this before?`
Kyle was even more shocked. Not because of all the naughty things he could do now, but because he hadn't thought of this earlier.
`Have I become stupid? Impossible!` Kyle's expression changed to fear.
After a moment, his expressions calmed. `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 around holding a plate of oatcakes. Her breasts swayed gently.
`Humans really turn into demons when they get power,` He traced her breasts with his gaze.` Because I'm about to do something really 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 ate a piece of oatcake. Honey flooded his mouth. "This honey is amazing. Did you harvest it yourself?"
Eleanor giggled. "Yeah. We have beehives in the back. Alden loves honey, so I always harvest it for him."
Kyle watched her hips shift as she poured butter. "lucky man... The goddess must have smiled at him."
Breakfast continues with chatting and casual flirting. Kyle complimented her and joked but her affection remained unchanged.
`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. "The guests do not wash the dishes."
"I am no longer a guest," He said as he carried a plate and began to wash it. "Besides, watching you work alone hurts my conscience."
`And my cock.`
Eleanor smiled and didn't say anything else, but Kyle noticed that her affection had increased 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, they both went inside the house after finishing arranging the garden. Elanor sat on the chair tired, rubbing her neck.
Kyle summoned her stats screen with a thought.
[Name: Eleanor]
[Strength: 4 | Intelligence: 9 | Endurance: 5 | Agility: 6 | Magic: 0]
[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... do you need a massage?"
"Oh, you don't have to—"
"Please," he said as he stood behind her. "I'm good with my hands."
Her resistance gradually faded as Kyle placed his hands on her shoulder. "Alright... Just for a moment."
His eyes flared crimson as he activated his skill. Then, 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, feigning 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 her neck.
"Mhmm~." Her hips moved unconsciously.
With every touch, Eleanor felt a shock pass through her body. Her nipples hardened, her thighs pressed together, and her lower belly pooled with heat.
`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 on her body.
"Hnngh~!" She covered her mouth as she arched her back.
She squeeze her thighs hard together, pooling wetness between them. That press make her orgasm.
"All finished." He stepped back. "Feeling better?"
"Y-yes..." she shook. "T-thank you."
Her arousal filled the air. Her nipples were erect under her dress, and her wet pussy was dribbling down.
As she rose, Kyle noticed her ass had a wet spot. His cock bulged against his pants.
[Affection: 13% → 15%]
`Soon... very soon, you'll be mine.`

Alden returned at sunset, shaking the leaves from his coat.
"Smells divine, love!" He laughed as he looked at the dinner on the table. 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!`
