My body almost lost balance when I got struck by the heat. My heart started pounding faster, as if it could come out of my mouth. My breathing became irregular, trying to cool down my body. It was an intense sensation that I had never felt before.
'Is this the side effect of my power?'
[ Yes, it's the price for using Ero Boost. It's very uncomfortable, but it wasn't made to kill you. ]
'Very uncomfortable doesn't start to describe it! How can I remove it?' As I asked this question, the blue screen in front of me changed to the following text.
[ You received a debuff as a side effect of Ero Boost. You'll feel an intense sexual desire and a tireless urge to have sex. To cure this ailment, you have to finish the following tasks with the help of your Valkyrie.
1 - Receive a Boobjob from Sarah.
2 - Fuck Sarah in Doggystyle.
]
'An intense desire? It looks like a weird fever to me.' I barely was able to think at this point, but someone close to me called my attention.
"Richard, are you feeling well?" Alicia asked, getting closer to me. At that moment, I understood this punishment.
Alicia's delicate body aroused my senses at first sight. Her fragrance was so hypnotic it felt like her pheromones were calling for me. Her skin seemed softer than before, which made me want to feel her warm touch. Her lips made me want to taste her.
All my senses were intensely affected by my primal instinct to spread my seed. I avoided her gaze. I needed to suppress my urges until I met Sarah again.
"Richard, you are looking strange." Alicia said this to me, worried about my condition. It wasn't her fault; she was clueless about my condition, but her presence only intensified the burning heat spreading through my body.
"It's nothing, Alicia." I lied to her with a panting voice.
"But you're sweating a lot." She said with an uneasy voice. I could feel the cold sweat forming on my forehead. Alicia was trying to place her hand to measure my temperature. "Are you having a fever?"
But right before she touched my skin with her tender fingers, I jumped backwards. I felt like I wouldn't be able to control myself if we had any kind of physical contact. I wouldn't be capable of forgiving myself in this case.
"Don't worry. I will be fine soon." I said, trying to stay away from her kindness. Every time she moved towards me, her perfume tempted me to go mad. No matter how much I walked away from Alicia, she kept getting closer to me.
When she noticed that I didn't want her close to me, she stopped where she stood, looking at the ground with sadness in her eyes.
"Why are you keeping distant from me?" She asked me.
I couldn't bring myself to tell her the truth. What am I supposed to do? Tell her, 'I used a lewd skill and I'm trying to control my erection towards you.' I would rather die than tell her.
"Believe me, it's for your own safety." I barely explained.
"My own safety?" She said, looking confused. "But you are the one suffering? That doesn't make any sense."
"Don't think about it. Logic doesn't work in this case."
"Eh?" She was looking even more confused, probably thinking that I had gone crazy.
"Sorry, I'm late." A third voice disrupted our conversation. "You guys seemed to have fun. Mind if I join?"
The red-haired woman was standing at the top of the crater, looking at us with a playful smile on her face.
"S-Sarah…"
…
"So, you defeated two bandits on your own? This is kind of impressive!" Alicia praised Sarah's feat as she told what happened inside the woods.
"Huh, it was Rick's idea to fool them. I think I would get in trouble against two at the same time." Sarah shyly tried not to take credit.
"But being able to put that into practice without training for it is equally amazing." Alicia said to her.
"Hahaha, thanks, Alicia. Can I ask you something?"
"Sure." The cute girl responded to her.
"Why is Rick so far from us?" Sarah asked, whispering to the blond girl, but even a few meters in front of them I could hear their talk perfectly.
The girls had been talking since they met in the crater. I didn't expect that they would get along so well, but the consequence was that I lost my chance to talk to Sarah in private about my problem. 'But what would she do? Make love to me in front of a flushed Alicia.'
Anyway, we were walking inside the forest. Alicia made some sort of hideout there and she was instructing me on how to get there.
"He has been acting weird since after his fight. He was so kind to me, but now he is avoiding looking at me." Alicia said in a heartbroken tone.
"I see…" Sarah just said that to her, clearly uncomfortable. I could feel Sarah's gaze piercing through my body like sharp arrows.
"Will it take long to get to your hideout?" I asked Alicia, still avoiding eye contact.
"We just need to follow this path." She responded in a calm tone.
"That friend of yours is hurt that bad?" I asked her.
"Yes, the last time those guys found us, Diane got hurt trying to save me. I'm taking care of her wounds, but she has not recovered yet." She said in an uneasy voice.
"We're going to help her. I promise." I said to Alicia. I didn't see her face, but I sensed that she was smiling now.
"But Rick, why isn't Alicia guiding the way?" Sarah asked, suspicious of me. "And I think it is better if I am the one to protect our front."
'That's the only way for me not to get crazy looking at your rear.' I thought inwardly, but I didn't say that.
"I wanted to guide you girls. Just that." I responded grumpily.
I needed to stay away from them, at least for now. There was no way to cure this side effect until Sarah and I had intimacy, but with Alicia close to us it wasn't a good idea. So my only choice was to bear it until we got alone. Maybe I'd have to wait until we reached town.
'Yeah, it will be for the best. Just wait until then.'
"Huh. Alicia, as you said before, your friend might be needing your help now. Rick isn't feeling well, so I'll force him to stop by." She said this as if it were nothing.
"W-What?" I was surprised by her.
"Really?" asked the blond girl.
"Yeah, he's an idiot, so he needs special treatment sometimes." Sarah said in a happy tone.
"So I will leave him in your care, Sarah." Alicia said, rushing forward, stopping when she was in front of me. "Please take care of your health!" She said with annoyance in her voice, then continued to run towards the hideout.
Now I was alone with Sarah.
"So, Rick, is there something that you want to talk about?" She asked me while getting close to me. Every step that she took made my heart beat faster. The side effect of Ero Boost was making my body burn in lust. My body was resisting for a long time, but I was at my limit. I couldn't hold it anymore. In an instant, my body moved without my control.
I pinned Sarah against a nearby tree. "Aah… Aah…" my breathing was more agitated than before. I wanted to intoxicate myself with her smell, mix my saliva with hers.
"Huh." I was surprised by Sarah. Her hand was caressing my face.
"You used your skill, right?" Her voice asked me with a kind tone. Her gesture made my consciousness come to the surface once again, suppressing my instinct. I nodded.
"Ooh, look at you, all sweaty, you're burning. Huh." Sarah looked confused for a moment and then… "Waah!" Sarah got startled when she saw a bulge taking shape in my pants.
Now that my body was so close to hers, I couldn't hold my member down. My strong mind and concentration, that could control my sword, were worn out.
"You're an idiot, you could've told me before." She said grumpily.
"As if I could tell this… in front of a stranger." I could barely say that.
Sarah's expression softened when she noticed my difficulty to talk.
"I'm sorry, Rick. It must have been tough." Her eyes were focusing on my naked chest. She licked her lips while analyzing me, almost drooling. "Uhum, but it won't get better until I reward you, right? Tell me what I should do."
"Right here?" I said, taken by surprise.
"Of course. You are looking awful like this. How much time were you planning to hold together?" She asked.
"Huh, until we get to town…" I said, already knowing what she would say.
"You want to walk around town like this? Are you crazy?" Sarah snapped at me. "You would be arrested for public indecency. Forget it, let's do it! Here and now!"
