Nolan awoke to the gentle, golden light of morning filtering through the window.
The first thing his sleep-hazy eyes focused on was Linda. She was propped on one elbow beside him, watching him, a soft, knowing smile gracing her lips.
The sheet had pooled around her waist, revealing the graceful slope of her shoulders and the perfect, lush curves of her huge breasts.
He was, as always, momentarily captivated. How could she look this radiant, this put-together, the moment her eyes opened?
Of course, he didn't know the truth: she had woken up two hours earlier, taken a shower, and meticulously applied her makeup.
After that, she helped Rachel get to the bathroom, chatted with her for a while, and even cooked breakfast for her.
"Good morning, darling," she whispered, her voice a husky, intimate caress.
Nolan didn't answer with words. His hand came up to cradle the nape of her neck, his fingers tangling in the soft hairs at her base as he drew her into a deep, consuming kiss.
His other hand slid down the elegant arch of her back, over the smooth swell of her hip, and cupped the firm, round curve of her buttock.
He rolled slightly, pressing her into the mattress, the heat of her body a brand through the thin silk of her nightgown. A low moan vibrated in his throat, feeling her initial surprise melt into the familiar, eager response, her back arching to press herself more firmly against him.
But then the rhythm broke. Her lips, which had been moving with his, went still and unyielding.
Nolan pulled back, breathless and confused. Her beautiful face was frozen, the light smile fixed, her eyes unblinking.
The world had gone silent. Through the window, a sparrow was suspended mid-flight against the immobile sky.
Around the bed, Ange, Ana, and Eliza were also frozen.
Time had stopped. Again.
He released Linda, finding the situation strange. Normally, the System's blue screen would have already materialized in front of him.
But now, he could move freely through the frozen moment in time.
He swung his legs out of bed. He walked around for a few moments when he heard a weird voice in his head.
"Congratulations on reaching the fifth level. We apologize for the administrative delay."
The world dissolved, everything bled away into an infinite, pearlescent white. Hanging in the void before him was a system screen.
In text that seemed to be written in liquid fire, there was the description of his new skill.
[SKILL ACQUIRED: THE KING'S EYES]
[Ability Description:
The user gains two passive abilities related to his harem:
Omniscient Gaze: The user can, at any time, instinctively know the precise location of any member of his harem.Threat Detection: If anyone harbors malicious intent or plans harm against his harem, the user is immediately alerted. This warning manifests either as a strong, intuitive feeling of danger or as a precognitive dream, allowing him to know of the threat beforehand. ]
Nolan smiled. That would be a massively useful skill, guaranteeing nothing like what happened with Rachel would happen again.
And once again, his list of skills included a 6th mysterious skill, which would probably be unlocked with some action.
Or maybe the skills were shaped by his own experiences? Nolan wondered, realizing that every time he faced and overcame a challenge, he gained a skill that seemed directly connected to it.
"Well, it doesn't really matter," he brushed it off.
And soon the white world around him disappeared, revealing he was back at his bed and kissing Linda passionately.
It was like he had returned to the exact instant before time had frozen. And he would not complain, grabbing that huge sexy ass, as Linda moaned into their kiss.
Ana then woke up with Linda's moans turned toward his direction, kissing the back of his ear.
Then, their kiss broke, leaving them both breathless. Linda's cheeks were flushed, her lips slightly swollen. She giggled, a soft, happy sound, and traced a finger down his chest.
"You know," she began, her voice still a husky whisper, "we should do something today, like a date…"
Nolan raised an eyebrow, his hands still resting on her hips. "Oh?"
"Yes," Linda insisted, her eyes sparkling. "I think Rachel needs a bit of time with you. So why not go on a date with me and her? I promise it will be sexy."
From the other side of the bed, Ana, who had been nuzzling the back of his ear, pulled back with an enthusiastic gasp.
"That's a brilliant idea!" she declared, her earlier sleepiness vanishing. She leaned over Nolan, her own voluptuous frame pressing against his side. "You three should go out. Go to the mall and just enjoy the day."
Before Nolan could even form a response, Ana scrambled over him, her naked form a flash of smooth skin as she retrieved her purse from a nearby chair.
She pulled out a sleek, black credit card and pressed it into his hand. "Here. My treat. Get them anything they want. And buy yourself anything you want, master. Just have fun."
Nolan looked at the card, then at Ana's earnest face, and finally at Linda's hopeful smile.
"Alright," he said, a slow smile spreading across his face. "Let's have a date, but we will go later. I need a shower and something to eat."
"Perfect!" Ana clapped her hands together. "I'll get a driver ready for you."
Linda gave her man a big smile and approached him, making her huge tits bounce sexily.
"We will get ready too, I will wear some sexy clothes for you, darling," Linda teased with a sensual tone.
"Hummm… you youngsters are so energetic…" Ange, who was just waking up, complained. "But, stud, if you want to eat something, I can do lunch for you, just give me a minute to wake up."
"Do you know how to cook, Mom?" Ana asked in surprise.
"I have been practicing, because I thought Nolan might like it," she admitted with a shy tone that put a smile on Nolan's face.
