[Book of Eros] Chapter 31 - Further examination of the Book of Eros. (Patreon)

That night, having slept through most of the day, Leonardo evidently wasn’t turning in early. He thought of using his time to study some more but remembering what happened yesterday made it nearly impossible. However, remembering yesterday also made him think of the Book of Eros. He took it and sat in front of the low table he used as a desk in his room, lit the lamp and started browsing through the book with newfound interest.

The thing was real. There was no way he could doubt it anymore. It was no longer a question of whether the occult was real or not, but rather, how did this change things? To start, the plan would have to continue. If the first Gift of the book was real, it meant the others were, too, right? If he kept a satisfying sexual relationship with Reiko, he’d be able to make Angela feel things as well. And if he was table to ‘gain the trust of four people he had feelings for’, as the book put it, he wouldn’t have to worry about… feeling like he was cheating.

The Gift of Recovery, the Gift of Giving and the Gift of Polyamory were the basis of Mrs. Wisler’s plan to get rid of the curse permanently. But… there was more to the book. Things Leonardo had read, but sounded too weird or too stupid to pay attention to. But if they were real, then things could be… interesting. He started reading through the book.

‘Gift of Indulgence: Enhances pleasure felt during sexual acts for the owner of this book. A motivator for the book holder to work towards the cleansing of the curse. Condition: Orgasm five times in under an hour during sex with one or more partners.’

“P-Pleasure enhancement?” he muttered to himself. It had already felt so good as it was, and the book had the ability to make it even better? It sounded so tempting. But as with the other Gifts, there was a condition. “5 orgasms in an hour…” he said. Honestly, he didn’t know if that would be easy or difficult. He knew of the rumors and jokes that men were quick shots, lacked stamina and all that. He didn’t know if that applied to him, considering his endurance Gift. Masturbating had been kind of difficult, but should he chalk that up to getting to know his own body or to unusual endurance? He still didn’t know enough about himself to even begin to guess. But that wasn’t the only other Gift there was in the Book.

‘Gift of Touch: The Gift of Touch is divided in three categories, each with two levels of strength.

1) Kisses: Makes kisses feel better to the book holder’s partners. Level two intensifies this effect. Condition: Kiss three different people in a single day. Repeat this with three different people to unlock level two.

2) Caresses: Makes caresses and non-penetrative play feel better to the book holder’s partners. Level two intensifies this effect. Condition: Make three people orgasm without penetration within three days. Repeat this with three different people to unlock level two.

3) Penetration: Makes penetrative sex feel better to the book holder’s partners. Level two intensifies this effect. Condition: Make three different people orgasm through vaginal or anal penetration within three days. Repeat this with three different people to unlock level two.’

“More pleasure enhancement, but this time it’s for my partners…” Leo muttered again. “This one seems more convoluted, though, with levels of strength and even categorization. I assume the people who made this wouldn’t have done it this was if it wasn’t necessary. Perhaps these are the minimum conditions to activate these effects?”

Really, it was both interesting and exciting, Leo had to admit. Not only did it make him want to unlock these Gifts to have fun with them, but the mere fact things like these were possible was so out of this world it made it fascinating.

‘Gift of Sharing: During group sex, the partners of the book holder will be able to share sensations, should the book holder choose to allow it. This Gift has two levels of strength. Condition: Have group sex with at least three other partners and make them orgasm within an hour. Repeat this with different people to unlock level two.’

‘Gift of Comfort: Turns Sexual Energy into a sort of ethereal, invisible lubrication that helps in penetration. Condition: Have vaginal, anal and oral sex with two different people.’

‘Gift of Control: The book holder can control the fertility of their sperm or eggs at will. Condition: Have sex using contraceptives a total of 20 times.’

Leonardo swallowed. The former of those three sounded strange, and the latter two seemed extremely useful, fertility control especially so. But if the book needed him to have as much sex as he could, then something like that was appropriate. Leo found that his heart was pounding hard in his chest. His mind inevitably thought of all the things he and Reiko could do now. It was getting him hard again, which was a different kind of annoyance than before. Even mildly suggestive thoughts would quickly arouse him and reading the Gifts in the Book of Eros wasn’t helping. He knew it would be futile but tried to sleep anyway.

As expected, his mind kept conjuring memories of Reiko and even images of Angela. He couldn’t help it, really. They were both too beautiful and sexy to think of anything else. It was like he could still feel Reiko’s soft body in his hands and hear her moans and blissful cries.

What would Angela sound like? He wondered. Her generally easy-going demeanor and excitement for the things she liked made him think she’d be wild in bed. Oh, but if she was like him, then she probably didn’t even know how to touch herself. How would she react to her first orgasm? He didn’t know, but definitely wanted to see it and be the one to give it to her. Watching Reiko come at his touch had been exhilarating, and he could hardly wait for the moment he’d get to see Angela.

…

“Damn…” he groaned, holding his face. “I’m not becoming a deviant, am I?”
