The Gigolo System in the Academy of Magic-Chapter 35: Next Step with Selena [R-18]

James kissed her hard, pulling her closer until there was barely space left between them. His hands moved through her robe with increasing urgency, fingers brushing against bare skin.

Selena's eyes widened but the surprise faded quickly, replaced by something softer. She was growing used to him.

The two collapsed gently into the plush embrace of the sofa, and the fire crackled nearby, casting warm hues across their skin.

Shadows danced over them as James slowly peeled away her robe, revealing the light, silk dress beneath. The firelight kissed her skin, painting it in molten amber, and her body was warm and inviting.

He kissed her again, deeper this time, his fingers charting the curve of her waist, the slope of her hip, the rise of her chest. Every part of her felt alive under his touch. After a while, he leaned back and looked at the woman laying beneath him. Her breathing was heavy and her cheeks were flushed.

"I want to see you properly," James whispered.

Selena hesitated, then sat up, her cold, reserved demeanor melting away. She looked almost shy, her eyes avoiding his as she gently let him lower her blouse, revealing a black lace bra. The delicate fabric contrasted sharply with her pale skin, drawing his gaze.

"You expected this?" James smiled slightly.

She didn't answer, but her blush deepened.

James ran his hands beneath the lace, feeling the warmth and softness of her skin.

He pulled her dress further down revealing more of her body to the firelight. There was something captivating about her—strong yet soft, toned yet full. Her wide hips, her thick thighs, her generous chest, even the faint definition of muscle beneath her stomach.

James wanted to kiss every inch of her body, slowly and deliberately.

He felt a fire burning inside him. He had already removed his robes and now he slowly guided her hand downward. When her fingers brushed against him, he let out a sharp breath. She began to stroke up and down. Her strokes were tentative at first, then more and more confident.

He leaned down, trailing kisses along her collarbone, then her chest, leaving behind a path of heat and red blooming marks on her white skin.

Her breathing hitched as he nipped at her skin hungrily, and her fingers gripped tightly and her back arched as she let out soft moans.

After a few long minutes, James looked up, meeting her eyes. His gaze shifted to her lips, full and slightly parted.

"I'm about to... it'll get messy."

Selena blinked, then followed his gaze, understanding his meaning.

"...I can use magic to clean up." She murmured, the corner of her lips twitch nervously.

"I want you to taste me."

Selena almost stopped breathing at that moment. Looking at James' dark eyes, her hands hesitated and her eyes flickered.

Finally, she leaned forward, brushing a kiss against his chest, and then his abs, and then lower. She bent down, her knees now on the soft carpet and her hands steadied on his thighs.

James leaned his head back, one hand tangled in her red hair, the other resting against the sofa's edge.

Outside the window, the wind howled softly through the academy grounds. Inside, the fire crackled and danced, casting long shadows across two people.

Selena's lips were soft, and her movements careful and unfamiliar.

James groaned, his fingers tightening slightly in her hair, and his breath grew uneven, rising with every movement she made. Even in his last life on Earth he had never been with such a beautiful woman like her, let alone in this life. After being teased by Helene all day, his body was in a state of tension, and now he could finally release it all.

Feeling him squirming in pleasure beneath her, Selena became more and more confident in her movements.

Her mouth was hot and wet, and she moved her tongue in a way that sent waves of pleasure through James' body. He gripped the armrest of the sofa tightly, trying to hold on as she worked him over, her hands now gripping his waist to keep him close.

"I'm - Selena - ah..."

His body shuddered as waves of pleasure coursed through him, each second blurring into the next. His eyes squeezed shut, his jaw clenched.

Selena didn't flinch. Her mouth took everything in carefully as she held onto James tightly.

Silence fell.

The only sound was the crackle of firewood and the soft wind murmuring beyond the glass windows.

James leaned back against the sofa, his breathing slowly steadying, while Selena sat upright on the carpet and wiped the corner of her mouth. Her face was flushed and her lips glistened faintly.

James expected her to spit it out when he heard her swallow clearly, he was stunned. He looked at Selena with burning eyes but she evaded his gaze in embarrassment.

He could feel the heat rising within him again, but finally he just shook his head and pulled Selena gently towards. She settled against his chest, resting her head near his shoulder. He ran his fingers through her hair in slow, deliberate motions.

Right now James had a feeling of clarity like he'd taken a perception enhancing potion. He almost wanted to look through the books Helene had given him right then and there but he stopped himself.

"You're tired, let's go to the bedroom."

Then without waiting for Selena to respond, he stood up and picked up the beautiful woman. He brought her into his arms in a princess carry and walked toward the bedroom.

Meanwhile the system rang out in his mind.

[Recurring Achievement: Be intimate with contract Selena Vaughn]

[Reward: 1000 affection points]

James had expected this but the next notification surprised him.

[Milestone Achievement: Take the next step]

[Reward: 4000 affection points, and one chance at lucky draw (guaranteed item)]

The reason he was hesitant to spend money on the lucky draw was because there was a strong chance he would end up with nothing, but now, he had a guarantee. James was a little excited but feeling the soft woman in his arms he quickly relaxed.

Everything can wait.
