SinBound The Seduction System

Episode 8

The studio was nothing like Ethan expected.

Tucked behind the arts building and hidden under a canopy of overgrown ivy, it felt more like a forgotten sanctuary than a workspace. But once inside, he understood. The air smelled of turpentine, charcoal, and something distinctly feminine—Ashley Cain's scent, earthy and electric.

Paintings lined the walls, most half-finished. A naked back here. A pair of parted lips there. Women twisted in desire, vulnerability captured in brushstrokes.

Ashley stood in the center, barefoot, wearing nothing but a long oversized shirt that slipped off one shoulder.

"You came," she said.

Ethan smirked. "You summoned me."

She smiled, her lips ruby-red, teeth grazing her bottom lip. "Take off your shirt."

He didn't hesitate.

As he pulled it over his head, Ashley tilted her head, her eyes studying him not like a woman hungry for flesh—but an artist dissecting perfection. Her fingers twitched like they wanted a brush, but instead, she reached for him.

"Lie down on the rug," she said softly. "On your side. I want to see your shape in shadow."

[Seduction Insight: Ashley enjoys slow build-up, aesthetic tension, voyeuristic energy.]

Ethan obeyed, stretching out on the thick, plush rug. The windows let in a stream of orange afternoon light, casting golden hues across his skin.

Ashley picked up her sketchpad, sat cross-legged nearby, and began to draw.

Minutes passed.

Ethan could feel her eyes on him more than her pencil. Her breathing changed rhythm as the silence thickened.

"Do you always draw people you want to sleep with?" he asked quietly.

She didn't look up. "Only the ones I want to remember."

He waited a beat, then added, "And do they usually pose fully clothed?"

Ashley's eyes flicked up. A spark of challenge burned in them.

"You offering a full model session?"

"I don't half-do anything."

She set her sketchpad down. "Then strip."

Ethan stood slowly, unbuttoning his jeans with deliberate ease. Ashley watched without blinking, her breath now audible.

As he stood fully naked in the golden light, she walked toward him—not like a seductress, but like a predator with purpose.

Her hands reached out, palms grazing his chest, stomach, hips. She traced the line of his body like memorizing every contour.

"You're beautiful," she murmured. "I hate beautiful things."

"Why's that?"

"They break me."

Her voice cracked just slightly—but only for a second.

He leaned in, brushing his lips against her ear. "Then let me break you beautifully."

What followed wasn't wild passion.

It was a storm in slow motion.

Ashley led him to the mattress in the corner, where tangled sheets and paint-streaked pillows waited. She climbed over him, guiding his hands to her thighs. Her oversized shirt slid away, revealing smooth skin and a black lace bra underneath.

She pulled his hand to her chest, her voice trembling.

"Touch me like you're sculpting me."

He did. Every stroke, every kiss, every whisper was measured—controlled chaos. Her back arched under his touch, her breaths growing ragged.

She dug her nails into his back as he kissed down her navel.

"Say it," he whispered.

"Say what?"

"That you want me."

"I don't want you," she gasped. "I need you."

Later – 6:38 PM

Ashley lay curled on her side, wrapped in a blanket and silence. Ethan sat up, pulling on his jeans, his mind buzzing with system alerts.

He looked at her again. Her red hair splayed like fire across the pillow. Her eyes stared at the ceiling.

"You okay?" he asked.

"I should be," she whispered.

"You regret it?"

"No. That's the problem."

[Seduction Insight: She fears abandonment. Desires depth but hides it.]

He leaned over and kissed her temple. "Then don't hide. Let me see the real you."

She didn't reply. But her hand found his, and she held it tight.

Ethan barely had time to sit when the system interface popped again.

He blinked.

Twins?

Before he could process it, a knock came at his door.

When he opened it, Naomi stood there—nervous, shifting from foot to foot, hair tied in a messy ponytail.

"I—I need to talk," she said.

Ethan stepped aside, heart racing.

She walked in, fiddling with her hoodie zipper. "That night at the party… I haven't stopped thinking about it."

"Me neither."

"I thought I could pretend it didn't happen. But now, when I see you… I feel this heat. This ache."

He stepped closer. "Then stop pretending."

She looked up at him, eyes wide. "What are you doing to me?"

[Lust Aura: Triggered – Target Naomi Cross – Sister's Best Friend]

"I don't know," he said, lying beautifully. "But I want to feel it too."

She didn't run.

She kissed him.

Hard.
