I moved onto the bed behind her, running my hands up her thighs and over the curve of her ass. Aurora arched her back, presenting herself to me like an offering.

"I want you inside me," she said bluntly. "Now. Before Addison decides to check on us."

"Romantic."

"We have all night for romantic." She reached back and grabbed my wrist, pulling my hand between her legs. "Right now I want to come again while you’re filling me up."

I positioned myself behind her, the head of my dick pressing against her entrance. Aurora pushed back slightly, taking just the tip inside.

"Fuck," she breathed. "You feel huge from this angle."

"Want me to stop?"

"If you stop I will actually kill you."

I pushed forward slowly, watching her body stretch around me inch by inch. Aurora’s fingers dug into the sheets, and she made these quiet gasping sounds that were half pleasure and half pain.

When I finally bottomed out, fully seated inside her, Aurora’s entire body shuddered.

"Don’t move yet," she whispered. "Just let me... adjust."

I held still, fighting every instinct that screamed at me to start thrusting immediately. My hands ran over her back and sides, memorizing the shape of her.

"Okay," she said after a moment. "Now move. Slowly at first."

I pulled back and pushed in again, establishing a steady rhythm. Aurora’s ass pressed back against me with each thrust, meeting me halfway.

"Harder," she said.

I obliged, my hips snapping forward with more force. The sound of skin meeting skin filled the room, accompanied by Aurora’s increasingly loud moans.

"Touch yourself," I told her. "I want to feel you come around me."

She slipped a hand between her legs, and I felt her fingers brush against me where we connected. The added stimulation made her clench tighter, and I had to grit my teeth to keep from coming immediately.

"You’re so deep like this," she gasped. "I can feel you everywhere."

I leaned forward, covering her back with my chest as I continued thrusting. My mouth found her shoulder, and I bit down gently.

Aurora’s response was immediate and violent. She came with a scream, her entire body locking up as her inner walls squeezed me in rhythmic pulses. The sensation pushed me right to the edge, but I held back, wanting to give her more.

"Three," I said when she finally went limp beneath me.

"You’re still counting?" she asked weakly.

"Always."

The system notification flashed.

◆ ABILITY THEFT SUCCESSFUL ◆

Target: Aurora Fitzgerald

Ability Stolen: [Sensory Hijack - Enhanced]

Starting Rank: Copper

Wait. Enhanced?

I pulled up the notification, still buried inside Aurora’s trembling body.

Note: Target’s ability has evolved since initial theft. New capabilities detected. Ability upgraded to [Sensory Hijack - Dual-Stream] at Copper rank. Allows simultaneous manipulation of different senses on multiple targets.

"Did you just...?" Aurora turned her head, looking at me over her shoulder. "Did you steal it again?"

"Upgraded version," I confirmed. "Apparently your ability evolved."

"Huh." She considered this. "Makes sense. I’ve been training it constantly since you gave me the buff."

"You’re welcome."

She clenched around me deliberately, making me groan. "Don’t get smug. We’re not finished."

"I noticed."

Aurora pushed back onto her hands and knees, adjusting the angle. "Now come inside me properly. I want the full buff, remember?"

I gripped her hips and started moving again, harder this time. Aurora matched my rhythm, throwing her ass back against me with increasing desperation.

"Yes. Just like that." Her voice broke on the last word. "Don’t hold back."

I didn’t. My hips slammed forward, driving deep inside her while she moaned and cursed and begged for more. The headboard hit the wall with each thrust, creating a rhythm that anyone passing by would definitely hear.

Fuck it. Let them hear.

I reached around and found her clit, rubbing circles while continuing to pound into her. Aurora’s arms gave out, her face pressing into the mattress while her ass stayed up.

"I’m gonna come again," she gasped. "Don’t stop. Please don’t stop."

I activated Euphoric Feedback at level nine, targeting every nerve in her pussy. Aurora screamed into the sheets as her fourth orgasm crashed over her, somehow even more intense than the first three.

The sensation of her clenching around me while her whole body shook pushed me over. I buried myself as deep as I could go and came hard, pumping everything into her while she continued trembling beneath me.

[DIVINE EMPOWERMENT ACTIVATED]

I collapsed forward, catching myself before crushing her. Aurora lay boneless and satisfied beneath me, her breathing finally starting to even out.

"That," she said eventually, "was worth nine thousand credits."

I laughed, pulling out carefully and rolling onto my back beside her. "Glad you got your money’s worth."

She turned to face me, propping herself up on one elbow. Her orange hair stuck to her forehead with sweat, and her makeup had smudged slightly around her eyes. She looked wrecked and beautiful and completely satisfied.

"Can I tell you something?" she asked.

"Sure."

"I’ve never let anyone make me come four times in one session before."

"Never?"

"Never." She traced patterns on my chest with her fingertips. "Point is, you’re different. Most girls tell me guys treat sex like a race. Get off, roll over, done. But you actually care about whether I’m enjoying it."

"Of course I do."

"Don’t act like that’s normal. It’s not." She kissed my shoulder. "That’s why I wanted to bring you here. To show you that this—" she gestured between us "—is more than just your survival mechanism. At least to me."

Something warm and uncomfortable stirred in my chest. "Aurora—"

"Don’t." She pressed a finger to my lips. "Don’t make it weird. I’m just telling you what I feel. You don’t have to say anything back."

But the problem was, I wanted to say something. I wanted to tell her that spending time with her felt different than the extractions with Belle or Naomi. That watching her eat chocolate cake and laugh at Addison’s terrible jokes made me forget about death timers and point calculations.

I wanted to tell her she mattered.

Instead, I pulled her closer and kissed her forehead, the same gesture I’d given Naomi. Simple and honest.

Aurora smiled against my chest. "You’re getting soft on me, Monroe."

"Literally impossible right now."
