Lust Sync: Every Woman Wants Me Now

Rain lashed against the tall, arched windows of the Blackwood estate, casting wavering shadows across the candlelit chamber where Charles stood, shirtless and bruised, staring into the storm beyond. His body bore the marks of the night before—faint bite marks and nail scratches from a night tangled with Seraphina and Lilith, two women whose desires had burned through him like wildfire. The air felt heavier this morning, charged with an electric tension that made his skin prickle. The Lust Sync interface shimmered faintly before him, its crimson text pulsing with a warning that sent a chill down his spine:

> **[New Sync Available: Elite Temptation – Cassandra]**

> **Warning: Her desire may unbind something ancient. Proceed with caution.**

Charles narrowed his eyes, his breath catching. Cassandra. The aloof, icy heiress of House Virellan, whose violet gaze and poised demeanor had always kept her at a distance, untouchable and unyielding. He hadn't expected her to be next—not her, with her cold elegance and impenetrable walls. She'd made it clear she wasn't like the others, that she didn't play the games of lust and power that defined the Blackwood estate. Yet the system's call was undeniable, and the weight of her name stirred something deep within him.

The heavy oak door creaked behind him, the sound cutting through the storm's roar. He turned, his heart pounding. Cassandra entered, her black corset gown clinging to her like a shadow, its intricate lace and silk designed for a noble's funeral yet sculpted to her figure with sacrilegious intent. Her violet eyes gleamed like twin curses in the dim light, her pale skin almost luminescent against the dark fabric. Every step she took was measured, sensual, but it was her aura—equal parts nobility and danger—that stole his breath, a storm of restrained power barely contained.

"You called me," she said, her voice low and sharp, like the whisper of a blade drawn from its sheath.

Charles stepped forward, his bare chest catching the flicker of candlelight. "Lust Sync called you."

"Same difference," she replied, her lips curling faintly. She glanced around the chamber, her eyes lingering on the shadows, then back at him. "You've been indulging the others. Seraphina. Lilith. Even Aria. But you never touched me."

"I thought you weren't interested," Charles said, his voice steady but probing. "You made it clear."

Her lip curled further, a flicker of darkness passing through her eyes. "You thought wrong. I was… resisting."

Charles raised a brow, his curiosity piqued. "Resisting what?"

"Myself." She stepped closer, and for the first time, her composure cracked, a hairline fracture revealing the longing beneath her icy facade. "Do you know what it's like," she whispered, her voice trembling with suppressed emotion, "to have every part of you crave someone… and have the world demand that you deny it?"

Charles could see it now—the forbidden desire burning in her eyes, a fire trapped beneath layers of frost. Cassandra wasn't here for mere pleasure. She was ready to surrender control, a devastating vulnerability for someone like her, whose life had been defined by discipline and restraint. Her words hung in the air, heavy with the weight of years spent fighting her own heart.

"I want you to break me," she breathed, her voice a mix of plea and command.

The air snapped with electric tension, the storm outside roaring as if in response. Charles didn't hesitate. He grabbed her, slamming her back against the cold stone wall with a force that made her gasp—not in fear, but in anticipation. Their lips crashed together, not gentle but hungry, years of repression exploding like thunder. Her hands clawed at his back, her nails digging into his skin, leaving fresh marks to join the ones from the night before.

> **[Sync Initiated: Cassandra – Forbidden Ice]**

Her body trembled as his hand slid up her thigh, hiking the gown to expose her porcelain skin to the cold air. She whispered something in her family tongue—an ancient, guttural language that carried the weight of forgotten rituals. The words were both a prayer and a curse, resonating with a power that made the air hum. Charles felt the Lust Sync pulse through him, their connection deepening, a torrent of desire and magic threading through their veins like fire and frost.

Then the pulse hit, a wave of raw, unfiltered lust that blasted through the room. The candles blew out, plunging the chamber into darkness save for the faint glow of the Sync interface. A magic circle flared beneath them, its runes glowing with an otherworldly light—symbols Charles had never seen, etched in frost and blood.

"Cassandra—what the hell is this?!" he demanded, his voice rough as he pulled back, the air growing colder, heavier.

Her voice came from all directions, a haunting echo that seemed to seep from the walls themselves. "We triggered it. The Icebound Covenant. My family's curse."

A jagged mark burned onto her collarbone, glowing with an icy blue light as she threw her head back, her cry a mix of pleasure and agony. Her violet eyes flared, and the room shook, the storm outside intensifying as if the world itself felt her awakening.

> **[Warning: Soulbind Initiated – Unlocking Forbidden Sync Tier I]**

Charles was caught in it, trapped between her legs and the power bleeding from her body. Lust mixed with magic, a volatile fusion that threatened to consume them both. Cassandra's cries grew louder, her body arching against him as something ancient awoke within her—and responded to him, its presence a cold, primal force that pulsed in time with their connection.

And then the wall behind them shattered.

A blast of cold and steel sent Charles flying, his body crashing into the far wall with a bone-rattling thud. Cassandra fell to her knees, clutching her chest, the jagged mark on her collarbone glowing brighter. Through the dust and debris, a tall armored figure emerged, its eyes glowing with icy rage, its form clad in frost-covered plate that seemed to hum with ancient power.

"You broke the seal," the figure hissed, its voice a low, guttural rumble that shook the chamber. "You unleashed the Frost King's heir."

Charles stood, blood dripping from his lip, his body aching but his resolve unbroken. "Who the hell are you?"

"I am her Warden," the being snarled, its sword drawn with a scream of frozen winds. "And you… are the threat."

Cassandra groaned, her voice weak but defiant. "No… he's mine…"

> **[Alert: You are now targeted by a Soulbound Guardian – Level ???]**

The Warden stepped forward, its blade glowing with a light that froze the air around it, each swing trailing wisps of frost that crackled like breaking glass. "Charles Manson," it said, its voice a judgment from beyond the grave. "Prepare to be judged."

**The Battle of the Forbidden**

The chamber became a battlefield, the air thick with frost and magic as the Warden lunged. Charles dodged, his movements swift but strained, the Lust Sync still pulsing through him, its connection to Cassandra both a strength and a liability. The Warden's sword slashed through the air, each strike leaving trails of ice that shattered the stone floor, the walls, the very reality of the room.

> **[Sync Strain Detected: Cassandra's Soulbind – Stability 82%]**

Charles rolled to avoid a blow that would've cleaved him in two, his mind racing. The Warden wasn't just a guardian—it was an extension of the Icebound Covenant, a curse forged by Cassandra's bloodline to protect or destroy her, depending on her choices. And their Sync had awakened it, unleashing a power that threatened to consume them both.

Cassandra staggered to her feet, her gown torn, her eyes glowing with the same icy light as the Warden's. "Charles," she gasped, her voice a mix of pain and determination. "You have to anchor me. The Covenant… it's tied to my desire. If you reject me, it wins."

Charles gritted his teeth, his hand finding hers as he pulled her behind him. "I'm not rejecting you," he said, his voice steady despite the chaos. "But we're doing this together."

He activated the Lust Sync, channeling its power into a shield of crimson light that deflected the Warden's next strike. The impact sent shockwaves through the chamber, the runes on the floor flaring brighter, their light pulsing in time with Cassandra's heartbeat.

> **[Skill Unlocked: Crimson Anchor – Stabilize Soulbind through Shared Will]**

The shield held, but the Warden's attacks grew fiercer, its blade weaving a deadly dance of frost and steel. Charles countered with bursts of raw Sync energy, each one drawing on his connection to Cassandra, their bond a lifeline against the curse's wrath. But the Warden was relentless, its power seemingly endless, its icy gaze fixed on Charles with a hatred born of centuries.

Cassandra's hand tightened on his, her voice a whisper. "The Covenant… it's testing you. It wants to know if you're worthy."

"Worthy of what?" Charles growled, parrying another strike that nearly took his arm off.

"Of me," she said, her eyes blazing. "Of breaking the curse."

The Warden roared, its blade descending in a final, devastating arc. Charles pushed Cassandra back, raising his shield as the world exploded in frost and light.

**The Unseen Curse**

When the dust settled, Charles stood panting, his shield cracked but intact, Cassandra clinging to him, her breath ragged. The Warden knelt before them, its sword embedded in the floor, its icy eyes dimming but not extinguished.

"You've passed the first trial," it said, its voice a low rumble. "But the Covenant is not so easily broken."

Charles's heart pounded, his body aching from the strain of the battle. "What do you mean?"

The Warden's gaze shifted to Cassandra, its expression unreadable. "She is the heir of the Frost King, bound by blood to a power older than your system. To claim her is to claim that power—and its curse."

Cassandra's eyes widened, fear and realization dawning. "Charles… I didn't know…"

Before she could finish, the chamber trembled, the runes on the floor pulsing violently. A new system alert flashed, its text glitching with an ominous warning:

> **[HIDDEN PROTOCOL ACTIVATED: ICEBOUND ASCENSION]**

> **[Objective: Reclaim the Frost King's Legacy]**

> **[Source: The Primordial Chorus]**

The air grew colder, the shadows deepening as a presence stirred—not the Warden, but something older, something that made the very walls of the estate groan. A voice whispered through the chamber, not to Charles or Cassandra but to the system itself: "The heir has awakened, but the true king waits."

The floor cracked, and a rift opened beneath them, revealing a void of frost and starlight. From its depths, a figure began to rise—not human, not god, but a force of primal cold, its eyes twin glaciers that burned with a hunger older than time. The system screamed, its final message a desperate plea:

> **[WARNING: FROST KING AWAKENING]**

> **[The Chorus Claims Its Heir]**

Cassandra staggered, the mark on her collarbone flaring as the rift widened, its light swallowing the chamber. Charles grabbed her, his voice a desperate shout: "Cassandra, stay with me!"

But the figure's gaze locked onto them, its voice a chorus of countless entities: "You broke the seal, Charles Manson. Now the Frost King rises, and you will kneel—or be entombed."

The rift pulsed, and the chamber began to collapse, reality fracturing as the Chorus's laughter filled the void, leaving only a single, chilling question:

What happens when desire awakens a god?
