Episode 19

[Quest Update: Forbidden Faculty - Objective Activated: Tease without Touching] [Target: Professor Livia Hart | Time Limit: 01:59:59] [Bonus Reward: SinPoints + Hidden Skill: Voice of Vice]

---

Ethan stepped out of the Devaux twins' dorm like a king stepping off his throne. The night air kissed his skin, but it did little to cool the fire still coursing through his veins. The system pulsed in his HUD, a red glow burning at the corners of his vision.

He had conquered the Twins of Temptation. Now, the stakes were even higher.

[SinPoints: 30 | EXP: 10/200 | Level: 4] [New Skill Unlocked: Sin Clone I - Active for 3 minutes | Cooldown: 12 hrs]

He barely made it two blocks before the notification popped again.

[New Sin Wave Detected – Proximity: Close | Intensity: 85%] [Target: Professor Livia Hart – Status: Vulnerable]

Ethan's smirk returned. Perfect.

Westwood University – Faculty Lounge – 11:52 PM

The lounge was mostly empty, bathed in warm golden light. Leather couches, shelves stacked with rare books, and the faint scent of sandalwood filled the air.

And in the center of it all, sipping red wine alone at the piano, was Professor Livia Hart.

She was beauty and danger in one package. Long auburn hair swept back in a loose bun, sharp glasses framing emerald eyes, a silk blouse unbuttoned just enough to hint.

Ethan's system buzzed.

[Sin Insight: Livia craves intellectual dominance. Tempt her through control of the mind.]

"Mr. Cross," she said without turning. "Breaking curfew?"

Ethan stepped inside. "Rules are for students. Sinners? We make our own."

She chuckled, low and dangerous. "You're bold. Or foolish."

"Why not both?"

Livia finally turned. Her gaze raked over him like a blade.

"You've stirred quite the gossip, Ethan."

He smiled. "Did I stir yours too?"

For a moment, silence stretched. Then, she rose, walking past him to the liquor shelf. Her hips swayed like a metronome of sin.

"I wonder..." she murmured, pouring a second glass. "How long can you last without touching?"

[Mission Objective Updated: Do Not Touch First | Tease to 90% Arousal]

Game on.

Ethan moved to the piano, resting his fingers gently on the keys.

"Do you play?" Livia asked, settling beside him.

"Only when someone inspires me."

He played a soft, haunting melody — one of suggestion and seduction.

"Music," he said, "is like foreplay. Every note builds tension."

She sipped her wine. "And the climax?"

"That's the silence after the final chord."

Livia's breath hitched. Her cheeks colored faintly.

[Arousal Level: 32%]

Ethan leaned closer, his voice a whisper against her ear. "You're the type who hates losing control."

"And you're the type who thinks you can take it."

He chuckled. "No. I want you to give it."

Her pupils dilated. She shifted, legs crossing slowly, blouse gaping slightly more.

[Arousal Level: 47%]

She stood abruptly. "Prove your words."

Ethan rose too. "I already am."

He walked around her, every step a calculated beat. He described in graphic detail—not touching—what he'd do if he were allowed. The brush of lips, the graze of fingertips, the warm breath against her inner thighs...

Livia clutched the piano, knuckles white.

[Arousal Level: 69%]

"You're evil," she whispered.

"I'm your temptation."

---

Suddenly, the lounge door creaked.

Ethan turned, only to see the reflection of a new system alert flashing.

[Hidden Sin Target Detected: Molly Sinclair – 2nd Year Lit Student | Compatibility: 91% | Affection: 73%]

Molly. The sweet, innocent brunette who always blushed around him.

Now peeking into the lounge with wide eyes.

Livia didn't notice. Yet.

Ethan smirked inwardly. A new idea formed.

[System: Activate Skill – Sin Clone I]

A shimmer pulsed. Ethan split — one version of him remained with Livia, the other silently slipped toward Molly.

---

Livia's Scene:

The real Ethan leaned in toward Livia again.

"Imagine my hands, still not touching you... but describing every inch of you I've memorized."

He spoke, in graphic, poetic heat.

She gasped, thighs clenching, breath ragged.

[Arousal: 88%]

---

Molly's Scene (Clone):

"Ethan?" she whispered.

The clone hushed her gently.

"Shh... Let me show you what secrets sound like."

He brushed the edge of her ear with nothing but breath, narrating fantasies as Molly backed into the shadows, cheeks flushed.

[Molly Arousal: 62%]

---

Back to Livia:

He ended with a whisper. "You've already lost control. Admit it."

She didn't speak.

She simply moaned.

[Arousal: 93% – Mission Complete]

[+30 SinPoints | Hidden Skill Unlocked: Voice of Vice – Your words can now arouse even at distance]

---

Clone Ends – Ethan's image near Molly flickered, vanishing. Molly looked around, dazed and flushed, unsure if it was real.

---

Faculty Lounge – Moments Later

Livia's blouse was nearly undone, lips swollen, breath shallow. She clutched Ethan's collar.

"I should punish you..."

He grinned. "Please do."

She laughed, lips brushing his—but stopping just short.

"Next time," she whispered, "you won't get off so easily."

He checked his system.

He smiled.

"The Devil plays chess. I'm three moves ahead."
