Westwood University – Faculty Lounge – 11:59 PM
Ethan stood outside the faculty wing, staring at the ornate mahogany door. Beyond it waited Livia Hart – the enigma, the temptation, the danger.
[Target Detected: Professor Livia Hart] Compatibility: 91% Emotional State: Dominant. Calculating. Playful. Arousal: 22% → Increasing.
[Warning: High Risk Encounter]
She wasn't like the others. Livia was a predator in silk. Her voice could melt steel; her gaze could command storms. And tonight, she had summoned him.
He opened the door.
Livia sat on a leather chaise, a glass of red wine in hand, legs crossed in a way that made art jealous. Her black slit dress shimmered under the ambient lighting, exposing just enough to ignite curiosity and chaos.
"Ethan Cross," she said, swirling the wine. "I was wondering how long you'd make me wait."
"You don't seem the waiting type."
Her eyes gleamed. "Good. You learn fast."

[Sin Insight Activated] Livia Hart: Intellectually aroused. Responds to dominance games and power reversals. Weakness: Teasing defiance.
Ethan approached her slowly, the atmosphere thick with tension.
"You called me here for something specific," he said.
Livia stood, heels clicking with precision. "I want to see what kind of man you are, Mr. Cross. The kind who follows... or the kind who leads."
She walked around him in a slow circle.
"Naomi. Aria. Alina. Even Mira from the gym. They all talk about you. But I'm not like them."
Ethan smirked. "Then let's test the difference."
[Target Arousal: 29% → 46%]
She raised an eyebrow. "Cocky. I like that. Strip."
Ethan didn't flinch. Instead, he stepped close, hands brushing her waist.
"Ladies first."
[Sin Reaction: +8]
Livia laughed – a low, dangerous sound. "You're going to regret that."

They moved like fire and fuel. The room transformed into a battlefield of whispered dares, stolen touches, and gasped threats. Livia pinned him to the wall with her body, her perfume intoxicating.
[Passive Skill Activated: Lust Aura II]
She kissed him hard, biting his lip.
"You're a weapon, Ethan. But every weapon meets its match."
He reversed their positions, lifting her onto the desk, lips trailing down her neck.
"Then break me. If you can."
[Target Arousal: 62%]
She moaned, eyes wild. "You're playing with fire."
"I am fire."

[Mission Progress: 54%... 73%... 89%...]
Her dress fell to the floor. His shirt hung from the lamp. Their breaths synced like a ritual.
And then, the twist.
Livia pushed him down into the armchair, straddling him, her fingers sliding under his jaw.
"You think you're winning? This is my game."
[New Trigger: Seduction Reversal Initiated] [Warning: Willpower Test Activated]
The room pulsed. Ethan's vision blurred as her power spiked.
He had seconds to respond.
He leaned forward, lips brushing her ear. "Then let me break your rules."
[SinClone I Activated]
An illusion of Ethan appeared behind her, whispering words he didn't even say.
She gasped, her dominance faltering.
[Target Arousal: 98%]
"What... is this...?"
"Evolution."

Ethan dressed slowly while Livia watched him from the couch, eyes still burning.
"You're dangerous, Ethan Cross."
"You're not the first to say that."
"But I might be the first who means it."
