Darkness was quick to swallow me up, but though it was brisk here, I had a thick fleecy hoodie keeping me warm. Soon enough I had my business done, teeth brushed, and I was getting snug in my tent. It would take a minute for my body heat to reflect off the tent’s walls and turn the interior from chilly to comfy, so for now I stretched my back and legs. My butt, and especially my legs, were sore from all the sitting… all day’s flight, then around the campfire.

  Not two minutes ter I heard the zipper rise up, and a shadowy form entered my tent. I knew my tent was pretty close to Ivy and Isabelle’s, so I couldn’t say anything. What I wanted to ask was ‘seriously? Are you that horny that you have to have it every day? Yeesh.’

  To be fair, exhausted as I was, I was still only twenty and a handful of months, so my hormones gave me a shot of adrenaline.

  Well, if I was going to have a sexy encounter, I wasn’t going to tell her no. So I did the only natural thing, and unzipped my sleeping bag. The blob of darkness that zipped my tent closed dove directly down there, rubbing her face over my legs and my crotch, running her hands everywhere. They soon found the waistband of my pajamas and my underwear, and had them off in a fsh.

  This felt a bit different.

  “I don’t want to py guess who,” I muttered quietly.

  In response, a finger pressed onto my lips, before she ducked down to begin kissing and licking, and sucking.

  “Hey,” I said, but she ignored me again, and got to work on getting me off.

  Kisses rained down on my midsection, and my thighs, followed by my balls and then my rapidly hardening cock. Still her hands slid up and down, frantically trying to touch every bit of me. Her hands massaged my thighs, down to my calves, then slid up my hips and into my pajama shirt, over my torso. Smooth and cool and insistent.

  More kisses and licks came, all over. She hadn’t bothered to get undressed, she hadn’t come up and given me a kiss. The quickness of it left me mystified. Just a quickie?

  Soon her lips closed over the head and started to bob up and down.

  Pleasure’s Bounty (Special Ability) may be activated during this intimate act. Would you like to spend 1 Token of your choice?

  I definitely didn’t want to spend a Token if the only thing happening here was some sloppy head. Although I would love some bonus pleasure, I wanted to use that Token to give my partner pleasure. Wow her. Keep her coming back for more.

  Entwined Ecstasy then asked if I wanted to spend 2 Tokens to bring this partner into the fold. In the heat of passion I clicked Yes.

  Well, that pushed Regina out of the running. I was having sex with my third girl inside of a month.

  Amazed, I felt Cinzy’s hot breath wash over my full length and girth.

  “It’s so big,” the whisper was almost inaudible. “I can’t fit it in my mouth.”

  Maybe Adaptable would work here and allow my newfound Girth to slim down a little bit to accommodate smaller mouths and blowjobs. I kind of hoped so.

  “You should get that pussy over here,” I murmured.

  She ignored me yet again. I could only just make out the outline of a butt raised up and swaying back and forth while she continued to blow me.

  I guessed my newfound girth messed up her ability to do the job properly. Still, the frenetic energy and the cock worship definitely felt amazing.

  It crossed my mind that maybe, just maybe, Cinzy had decided to check out what was under the hood and take me for a test drive before even getting any alone time with me. Could it be her? It certainly felt different, but I’d enhanced myself. I was different. Her tent was further away.

  The feel of lips and tongue sliding up and down my shaft erased most rational thought, all need to verify, and any lingering protests I might have had. Regina certainly didn’t mind me doing other girls. Even if Larelle somehow squeezed her huge form in here in order to engulf my cock, who was I to stop her? So I decided to just enjoy it.

  “Are you close?” she asked.

  “Not… really.”

  “Um… hmm.”

  She sat back and spread her legs, hand moving furiously between them. It was too dark to see, but not to hear. Soon enough the sounds of wetness and arousal were audible, from my mystery partner gasping.

  I needed this. She had gotten me all riled up and on the verge, then sat back. I was nothing more than a sve right now to the needs driving me.

  She surprised me by turning and presenting her ass when I started moving. I grabbed it and pulled her toward me, horny and ready. I couldn’t imagine anything more naughty and wrong than a girl with ass up and face down, begging to be used. In the dark like this, she was nothing more than a hole for my pleasure.

  I fumbled around in the darkness for only a few seconds before my cock found what it wanted and began pushing inside. My partner’s breath caught, and I decided now was the time to spend that Token to enhance the sensations. Since it was Cinzy, we were only going to get boosted a little, but that was fine.

  I forced my enhanced cock further in, staring in wonder at the incredible tightness. It took a number of retreats and then slow, forceful strokes in order to get all of me in there. I didn’t think she breathed the entire time I was opening her up. Finally though, I heard a muffled groan that went on, and on, and on. She’d buried her face in the sleeping bag and bit down.

  I was pretty sure she’d just climaxed. That was confirmed a moment ter when the full body shuddering came over her.

  I tapped into Stave Off to keep from exploding too early. This was delicious.

  Why Cinzy had chosen now… Perhaps she felt bad about our interaction and wanted to make it up to me, or thought I wouldn’t go out with her and wanted to take things into her own hands.

  Slowly, I worked into a steady rhythm. I wished I could just sm down in deep, and fill the campsite with the sound of flesh smacking on flesh, but we needed to keep quiet and she knew that.

  “Are you… close?” she whispered.

  In response I snaked my hands up under her shirt and found she wasn’t wearing a bra—excellent—and got my hands on her boobs while I humped away. Soon enough I had her stiff nipples between thumb and forefinger, twisting and pulling as Regina had instructed.

  She went wild, immediately going into orgasm mode again. Against my sleeping bag she screamed a muffled scream, while she shook and shuddered.

  Since this was my first time with this new partner of mine, I was going to do my best to rock her fracking world and drive her so crazy she couldn’t help but come back.

  Her incredible tightness and the mere thought of making her cum twice in less than ten minutes pushed me dangerously close, but I staved it off by shifting position. Pushing her legs forwards, she got down directly on her stomach. A muffled, questioning sound came out of her and went directly into the sleeping bag, but soon enough that disappeared with another coo of delight. I drilled down into the bed, squashing my midsection against her springy butt, and loving the feel of her tight channel beginning to get used to my size.

  She had my sleeping bag cmped in her mouth, because I saw a fsh of teeth in the darkness using my Eagle Eyed ability.

  I ran one hand over her hair, getting it out of the way of her ear, which I nibbled on while fucking her for all I was worth. The hair was… curly. Cinzy’s was long, straight, silky and bouncy.

  “I’m close,” I breathed, unable to stop my hips from giving me the pleasure my body wanted so desperately. “Where do you—”

  I really wanted to just bst off directly inside. Tara had been giving me that forbidden fruit and Regina hadn’t. Well guess what? Exploding while gripped tightly on all sides within your partner’s pussy is the best feeling in the world, bar none. Grabbing your juice covered cock getting to finality by hand… less awesome.

  All I wanted to do was cum, but I wanted to punish her for being weird about this. Cinzy didn’t need to come in here in the dark. I would’ve had sex with her anywhere, any time. Same with Regina. So I did what any pleasure seeker would naturally do, and put a point into the Load Quality.

  When I pulled up and out of her, flipped her over, and shoved my cock in her mouth, I came buckets. Far more than I ever have in my life, by far.

  Entwined Ecstasy: You have entwined with Isabelle Lee Martinez. Your retionship status is base acquaintances. You have just joined in the flesh for the first time. Hopefully it won’t be the st.

  Pleasure from intimate acts between base acquaintances is boosted minimally.

  Wait, what?

  ***

  Isabelle disappeared from my tent in a rush while I was busy puzzling over the first sentence from the game UI. She’d yanked the zipper up and collected her clothes without even putting them on, then got her naked butt out of there without a word. I couldn’t tell if she’d swallowed or was even now in the process of spitting. Aside from where she’d bitten on my sleeping bag to muffle her moans and groans, I couldn’t find any trace of my load in the tent.

  “What the f…” I trailed off, looking at the tent wall in the darkness.

  I was interrupted by the next UI message that arrived, pertaining to bringing her into the fold.

  Entwined Ecstasy: You have brought Isabelle Lee Martinez into the fold. She has gained the ability Herb Lore. You have gained the ability Stalwart from entwining with Isabelle Lee Martinez. Entwine more deeply with Isabelle to unlock further abilities.

  Next, came a write up for my new ability.

  Stalwart

  (Special Ability, Common, passive)

  You come from sturdier stuff. Whenever you are forced to make a contested social check, you are considered to have the skill for such a check at rank 7. If you are in physical danger, you are considered to have the skill at rank 3 instead.

  I spent the next few minutes pondering why Isabelle had come to my tent. She had just cheated on her girlfriend, if they were indeed a couple. I had assumed based on what Ivy said that she and Isabelle were together. They certainly went everywhere together. Neither of them had expressed any interest in Drat, An, Trent or I, so far as I could tell. Not that they were obligated to do that. They could be here to do a job and not want to get stuffed. They could have boyfriends back on earth, though I doubted that was the case. I didn’t think Dick Johnson hired people who were in committed long term retionships, only to be off pnet for months at a time.

  Then again, girls used the word ‘girlfriend’ to mean just a friend who’s a girl. So perhaps they were just really good friends? No… I had specifically heard Ivy say ‘she’s my girlf…’ stop herself, and then say ‘she’s my friend.’ People didn’t do that kind of thing when they were just friends.

  Unless I’d heard them wrong?

  I couldn’t be sure what was going on here. Fact: Isabelle had come in here, blown me, and then when she couldn’t get me to orgasm, offered up her pussy.

  Supposition: she just wanted… to test out a guy? See what dick was like?

  Fact: Ivy was on watch.

  Supposition: this gave Isabelle a short window of opportunity to test me out without Ivy knowing about it?

  Fact: I’d gotten a special ability from Isabelle, so I wasn’t imagining things.

  Supposition: nah, enough guesswork. I’d talk with her about it and find out what the hell was going on. My only ‘girlfriend’ and I back in high school hadn’t had good communication, which had led to me thinking she was cheating. We hadn’t been clear on whether we were a couple, so… she’d gone and gotten herself a boyfriend who asked her to be his girlfriend. Which obviously hurt, partly because it was my fault. I wasn’t about to let that kind of shit happen again. I had to know.

  ***

  I’d reached Pleasure Seeker level 9 after my curious encounter with my third sexual partner in the Divinity Rescue Corps.

  Level 9: +1 Ability upgrade

  I had a look over my character sheet to test a theory. Last time I had an Ability upgrade I hadn’t considered upgrading my god-gifted abilities, or the abilities I’d gained from Regina, Tara, and now Isabelle.

  “Seriously, Isabelle! What the frack?” I muttered.

  Pleasure’s Bounty (Legendary, active)

  Entwined Ecstasy (Legendary, active)

  It turned out I could indeed boost my Special abilities from sex. I could now, however, boost my Divine Gifts. So Pleasure’s Bounty II was out, along with Entwined Ecstasy II or Floral Knowledge II. Not a deal breaker. I still had a lot to work with.

  I checked on Blissense first, and wasn’t disappointed with what I found. The second level of Blissense would boost all of my Attributes by 1 when I was interacting with a partner who I’d already scoped out for their deepest desires and kinks and such. This would not grant me temporary Tokens to use on them, though. It seemed like a really great boost, giving me 6 Attribute boosts for spending a Token. Still, I had to touch the subject first to spend the Token, and I wasn’t yet used to just touching people willy nilly.

  Come to think of it, Cinzy had touched me a bunch of times and I hadn’t thought to spend the Token. The readout made it a little unclear if I had to touch the subject, or whether I could just use it even if I hadn’t initiated the touch. It was another avenue of research I needed to do.

  “Okay, let’s see here… Hard at Work III,” I muttered to myself.

  Level 3 lowered the difficulty of all skill checks for my css by 1. Pretty good, but not astonishing. And also, I had a feeling the specific nguage meant that Pleasure Seeker Qualities wouldn’t be affected… they weren’t skill checks.

  “Wild Lore III,” I said, then was frustrated to see a message saying that this ability would naturally level up through prolonged contact and increasing my retionship with Regina Hampstead. If I just had more fun with her, I would level it up naturally. The same went for Eagle-Eyed and Stalwart. I considered it with the st, though, because I had this feeling I wouldn’t be seeing much of Isabelle in the future. She had Ivy and the more I thought about it, the more it seemed like she was just satisfying a passing fancy.

  Healer’s Endurance and Healer’s Resistance were the st two. The former provided a new way to spend Durability Tokens: to gain +40% additional Hit Points for the remainder of the day. That was a lot. However, if I went below zero HP when I ran out, I would pse into a coma and require healing within one day. After that one day without medical attention I would die.

  “Awesome,” I muttered. It was not awesome.

  The tter now allowed me to resist damage and long term damage sources from Nakamamon or Gods. The upgraded version gave that same resistance from all sources, which was great. That would include people… or my own cure making failure sources. The second tier ability would allow me to spend a Token after taking damage from a source in order to permanently gain some of that resistance.

  I went with that.

  Healer’s Resistance II

  (Special Ability, Uncommon, active)

  I- You may spend a Durability Token to resist damage from any source. Long term effects are reduced by 75%. Onsets of all diseases, venoms, poisons, or other afflictions are tripled, as are intervals. Lasts one day.

  You may spend an Ingenuity Token to gift this ability to a willing target for one day.

  II- You may spend a Durability Token after taking damage from any source. You gain a percentage of Resistance to that source permanently.

  This is Christopher progressing, slowly but surely.
