[Spirit of Lust] Chapter 146: Awakening. (Patreon)

It only took Will a split second to read the atmosphere. Reina had opened the door for Nanami precisely so she could see him having sex with Anna, and it had worked just as she wanted.

‘Her body’s growing hotter. She’s remembering what you two did earlier today, and she’s craving it again.’

‘Any jealousy?’

‘None. She gets it already.’

Without moving away from Anna, Will reached his hand towards Nanami. The Asian girl bit her lip and moved closer. She took his hand and sat next to him on the couch, letting herself be pulled closer.

“Do we have time?” he asked her softly.

Nanami grimaced. “I wish. Will, if we screw up because we started…”

Will shook his head. “No, you’re right. Sorry, I’m…”

“It’s okay. I get it.” Nanami chuckled. Then she looked at the still trembling Anna in his arms, head on his shoulder and probably not fully aware that someone else was there. “Is she…”

“Anna. She’s Cynthia’s secretary. We had to tell her everything that’s happening, and she’s willing to help however she can.”

“Oh, that’s good. But I was going to ask if she’s okay.”

“I bet she’s doing perfectly,” Reina said, laughing softly as she stepped into the conversation. She sat at Will’s right side, facing Anna. The model cupped the secretary’s cheek and pecked her lips. “Anna. You coming down yet?”

Anna moaned softly. “Give me another minute…” She squirmed languidly on top of Will, his cock still hard and inside her. “That was even better than before…”

Will rubbed Anna’s back, and they all waited for her mind to clear. A minute later, the poor girl finally realized there was someone else in the room with them.

“Oh my God! I’m sorry!” Anna apologized, trying to cover herself with her arms. “I…”

“No, no! I’m the one who should apologize! I came in while you two were…”

The awkwardness lasted all of five seconds before the two girls laughed it off. Maybe it was that the acceptance that things around Will also revolved around sex, or maybe it was the heightened sense of arousal in all of them. Hell, it was probably both, but nobody seemed to mind.

Anna went to the bathroom to get herself cleaned up. Will did the same with some paper towels, though Reina had been eyeing his dick before. A cleanup blowjob would’ve been very nice, but the mood was completely different now. Nanami was here, so it was time to get to work again.

He was already in his pants when Anna came out of the bathroom, wearing nothing but her underwear. She approached Nanami and went for a kiss on the cheek.

“Anna. A pleasure.”

“Nanami. I’ve been working with Will for a few days. He told me you’re aware of the situation already.”

“I heard. I wasn’t THAT out of it,” Anna laughed. “But yes. I want to help Mrs. Evans as much as I can.”

“For now, let me see the spray can you found,” Nanami said.

Will gave it to her, and Nanami moved to the kitchen counter to work. She opened the bottle to inspect the contents inside, even smelling it a bit, which made Will tense.

“We were right. This has Jack Evans’s aether scent. If Anna was sprayed with it, she would’ve fallen under his control and he would know it the moment he came in contact with her.”

Will blinked. “And what about Reina?”

“Yeah, what about me?”

“Hm? You would’ve felt woozy, maybe even sick, but you wouldn’t have fallen,” Nanami said in a strangely matter-of-factly tone.

Will and Reina shared an equally confused glance. And that was when he remembered. Seeing Anna and wanting to explain things to her had made him push the matter aside, but… he had felt sexual energy just before going outside. It was what alerted him.

“Wait, you didn’t realize it?” Nanami asked. “You mean you weren’t doing it on purpose?”

“Huh?”

“Mm… How do I explain this?” Nanami held her chin and bit her lip. “Technically speaking, every person in the world has the potential to use aether.” After a look at the confused Anna, Nanami felt the need to explain a little more. “For simplicity’s sake, just think of aether as fuel for supernatural phenomena. What makes Ishtar, the Spirit of Lust, so special is that she is an insanely dense concentration of high amounts of aether that’s attuned to phenomena that’s sexual in nature. But even if it’s about sex, it’s still aether.

“Now, like I said, everyone has the potential to use aether, but these days the ability is so rare that people have lost the need for it. Maybe one in a million people is naturally born with the ability.” Nanami shifted uncomfortably. “I’m such a one, actually…”  She sighed. “But the ability can be awakened.”

“It can?” Reina asked.

“Yes. My aunt, for example. She wasn’t naturally born with the ability, but she was trained to awaken to it. The way it’s done is that you are, ideally, slowly exposed to aether inside your body. The way it was done for her was that, when she was young, her teacher would put his hand on her back and push his own aether into her every day for about a year. She says it was a very uncomfortable sensation, like feeling your blood ripple inside your veins, but that it didn’t hurt. She also told me others force people to waken faster by sending huge waves of aether into them. That might result in a faster awakening, but it usually ends up with that person being crippled or worse.

“Well, what I’m trying to get to is that, you can help someone awaken to their natural aether if you gently let their bodies and their souls remember what aether is like. And, well… Haven’t you been doing just that, Will?”

Every time he used sexual energy to increase someone’s pleasure. Every time he let his energy seep into someone, he was letting their bodies learn, or rather remember, what aether was. And the person Will had practiced his powers the most on was…

“It was you,” he muttered, looking at his girlfriend. “Reina… You used sexual energy just earlier.”
