"Did... did I do well?" she asked softly, tilting her head like a puppy seeking more praise.

Jake nodded and smile,

Just as he was about to reply—

[Ding!]

[+10 Upgrade Point!]

The familiar system chime rang in Jake’s head once again.

His eyebrows rose slightly in surprise.

’So the class rewards me based on how well Grace performs these kinds of acts too? Interesting...’

Jake was beginning to understand how his class truly worked.

The [Bond Captain] class seemed to respond to the physical and emotional bonds between him and his crew members.

It didn’t only grow through combat or leadership, it also strengthened through genuine connection, trust, loyalty, and raw physical intimacy.

And it seem deep sexual bonding, in particular, triggered it powerfully.

The Class clearly loved it when his crew willingly gave themselves to him.

Grace, still nestled comfortably in his lap with her massive and shapely breasts hanging out, tilted her head curiously.

A few strands of golden hair stuck to her cum-stained cheek.

"Jake...? You’re smiling like that again. Did something good happen with the Class?"

Jake chuckled and slid his hand down to gently pat her head.

"Yeah. It seems you’re right, Grace. Every time you serve me like that... every time you show me how much you want to please me... the bond grows stronger. And I get rewarded for it."

Hearing his words and feeling his affectionate touch, Grace’s golden eyes sparkled with innocent delight.

She bit her lower lip, clearly excited by the idea, then looked up at him and whispered.

"T-Then... should we do it more?"

Her eyes turned hazy with desire as she gave him a suggestive look.

But to her surprise, Jake shook his head with a wry smile.

He gently cupped her flushed cheek with his palm.

"Not right away," he said softly, his thumb brushing away a streak of dried cum from her chin. "You just gave me everything a few minutes ago. I want to take care of you first."

Grace’s golden eyes widened in surprise.

The hazy lust in them mixed with confusion and a hint of disappointment.

Her thighs were still pressed tightly together, clearly aching with unmet need, but she didn’t protest.

Instead, she leaned into his touch like a spoiled kitten.

"B-But... I’m okay. I can keep serving you. I want to make the bond stronger—"

Smooch

Jake silenced her with a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"I know you do. And we will. But pushing too hard too fast isn’t how I want this. You’re not just a tool for Upgrade Points, Grace. You’re my crew... and my good girl."

"...!"

Those words hit her harder than any command. Grace’s breath hitched, and her massive breasts heaved as a soft, happy whimper escaped her lips.

She nodded obediently, even though her body was still trembling with arousal.

"Okay... Whatever Captain wants."

[Ding!]

[+5 Upgrade Point!]

Jake smiled at the new notification.

While he was glad to receive the points, he genuinely wanted to treat this seemingly innocent girl with care, especially since she would be his first crewmate.

He stood up and frowned slightly as he noticed the mess covering Grace’s body, her pale skin marked with streaks of his cum.

Grace saw his gaze and assumed he wanted something from her.

When her eyes landed on his dangling, stained cock, she smiled softly and leaned forward, opening her mouth to lick it clean.

Jake gave her a slightly amused smile but didn’t stop her.

He simply enjoyed the feeling of her warm, devoted tongue as she began cleaning him.

Slurp...

With a soft sigh, Jake asked, "Grace, how do you take a bath down here?"

Coming from a modern world, his need for cleanliness was much stronger than most.

And since arriving in this new world, he hadn’t had a proper bath... only unpleasant rinses with salty seawater.

’Come to think of it, the women in this world always seem to smell clean and pleasant... Is that also related to their classes?’

Just like now,

Even after their sticky night together, Grace’s natural fragrance remained sweet and intoxicating.

The only thing that got dirty was her outer skin.

After a few more loving licks and a final soft suck on the tip, Grace pulled back with a satisfied little smile and licked her lips.

"All clean~"

Then she tilted her head cutely as she answered his question, still mostly naked with the oversized shirt bunched around her waist.

"A bath? There’s actually a bathhouse in the next room," she replied brightly.

"I’m not sure exactly how it works, but it uses fresh water collected from rain and streams above. There’s also a magic heating crystal that warms the water. It’s not very big, but it’s clean."

Hearing this, Jake was pleasantly surprised and couldn’t help but thought that this place really seemed to have been prepared as a proper emergency shelter.

He nodded and took her hand, helping her to her feet.

"Let’s go then. I want to wash you properly."

Grace’s cheeks flushed with delight at the idea of Jake washing her.

She quickly adjusted her shirt, though it still hung loosely off one shoulder, barely containing her massive chest.

As they walked through the quiet tunnel toward the bathhouse, Jake kept one possessive arm wrapped around her waist.

Grace’s face glowed with happiness as she led the way.

Soon they reached another door.

When they stepped inside the small bath chamber, Jake couldn’t hide his surprise.

It was surprisingly well-kept.

There a large wooden tub sat in the center, with a strange glowing crystal embedded in its side.

’Is that the magic heating crystal Grace mentioned?’ he thought curiously.

Grace slipped from his touch and moved forward with a smile.

She knelt beside the tub and activated the crystal with a gentle touch.

Drip...

Drip...

Drip...

Warm water began to flow into the tub from a pipe connected to a storage tank above.

She dipped her arm into the water, testing the temperature, then deactivated the crystal and turned back to him with a bright smile.

"Jake! Come, the water is nice and warm now."

Jake smiled and nodded.

He began removing his clothes until he was completely naked, then stepped into the tub.

The water was perfectly warm... just the right temperature thanks to the magic crystal.

He lowered himself in fully, and leaned back against the smooth edge with a deep sigh.

"Ahh~ This is heaven..."

Jake closed his eyes for a moment, savoring the warmth.

When he opened them again, he noticed Grace kneeling outside the tub, watching him with a soft, happy smile as she hummed happily. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

He shook his head gently.

"Come in here too, Grace."
