A Stepmother's Shame

Dong-hyun's hand closed around her plump, generous breast.

"Nngh..."

For all her talk of letting him do as he pleased, Son Ga-eun let out a strange little sound the moment his fingers found her.

"Wow... they're so soft. And your nipples are pretty big, too..."

"Shut up. I didn't tell you to talk."

Embarrassment flickered across her face as she tried to silence him. Whether she liked it or not, Dong-hyun's mouth never stopped moving. Neither did his hands.

He cupped both of her enormous breasts and kneaded them without the slightest hesitation, as if they already belonged to him.

Son Ga-eun clutched her own shirt and turned her face away. She couldn't bear to watch him play with her chest — the shame was simply too much.

His hands drifted inward, and then his fingers pinched her nipple.

"Ah..."

Another moan slipped out under his touch.

"What's the matter? Does it feel good?"

"Wh-what kind of nonsense is that. It's because you're the one touching me. It gives me the creeps."

The strange sensation had wrung a moan from her before she could stop it, but the moment he called her on it, she denied everything. Dong-hyun paid her no mind. His hands kept working her breasts however he pleased.

Her face grew redder by the second, a peculiar flush spreading across her cheeks.

Is it because my husband barely touches me these days? Why does this feel so strange?

Dong-hyun wasn't groping her carelessly. He was finding the spots that ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠felt good even to her, and she could feel her nipples swelling in response.

"Nngh..."

She glanced down. Her nipples had risen into hard, stiff peaks — mortifyingly obvious. They'd grown so firm that even Dong-hyun, the one currently mauling her chest, was bound to notice. She needed to change the subject before he did.

"Just suck them already."

She snapped at him, flustered and defensive.

"Huh? You're asking me to suck them first?"

His shameless reply made her shout again.

"That's not what I meant!! Just suck them and get it over with!! Nngh—!!"

She'd been yelling when his tongue dragged across her nipple, and a moan tore out of her before she could stop it.

His tongue flicked the stiff peak playfully, then circled the areola in slow, wet rings. The hardened nipple bounced elastically against his tongue with every pass. The moment that tongue made full contact, her legs nearly gave out.

"Standing like this is tiring. I'm sitting down."

She perched on the edge of her bed, trying to hide the trembling in her legs.

Dong-hyun moved in to suck her breasts again, but now that she was sitting, the angle was awkward. Crouching over her like that would look ridiculous.

"This... the position's a little uncomfortable. Hold on a second?"

He straddled her thighs, then gave her shoulder a shove and toppled her backward.

"Ah!"

In an instant, Son Ga-eun was on her back on the bed with Dong-hyun on top of her. She slapped at his chest, trying to push him off, but she ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠was no match for his strength.

He sucked one breast with his mouth while his other hand gently kneaded the other. Anyone walking in on them would have seen a perfect scene of adultery.

At first she'd resisted the humiliating position, but as the heat built inside her, she covered her eyes with one hand and simply let him have his way.

"Mother. You're getting wet."

Her eyes flew open at his sudden remark. A thin, glistening thread clung to his fingers.

She looked down in shock. At some point — she had no idea when — her panties had been pulled down inside her skirt and now hung around her thighs. She'd been so lost in ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠his caresses that she hadn't even noticed him stripping them off.

"What the hell are you doing!!"

"I was only going to suck your breasts, but your reactions were just too entertaining. Looks like you're actually enjoying this, though?"

His hand slid back down toward her pussy, stroking along it. The moment his fingers touched her, a jolt of pleasure shot through her body.

"Stop it! Get out!"

This, at least, she couldn't endure. She screamed and shoved him off with everything she had. Dong-hyun hadn't planned to go all the way anyway, so he backed off without a fight.

"Well then, Mother. I'll see you later. I'll be asking for favors now and then."

"What the hell are you talking about!!"

She shouted after him, but Dong-hyun just grinned easily and slipped out of her room.

Son Ga-eun watched him leave, then slipped a hand between her legs and touched herself.

"Hah... oh my god... why is it like this?"

Her insides were flooding. Arousal dripped out of her ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠as if a dam had broken. Anyone could tell she'd gotten worked up from just a little touching.

The thought that Dong-hyun must have noticed made her face burn scarlet. She sat there, stunned.

Serién greeted Dong-hyun with obvious delight when he returned to his room after ravaging Son Ga-eun.

"So you've finally decided to make your move? Going after your own mother, even?"

She seemed to have a complete picture of everything that had happened in the house.

"My mother? That woman is not my mom."

"Heh. Well... I'm not human, so I don't particularly care what you do. I'd just prefer you focused on my quests."

"Obviously. Speaking of which, I picked up a new skill this time. How am I supposed to use it?"

"Ohh... this must be the skill you received after clearing the second quest? What is it?"

"Possession."

"What!!!"

Dong-hyun had tossed the word out casually, but Serién recoiled as if she'd been struck, her voice cracking with shock. He'd never seen her this rattled — not since the day they'd first signed their contract.

"What's wrong? Is it a bad skill?"

"H-how is this possible? I specifically excluded that skill. Was it included in the random skill pool?"

She muttered to herself, clearly thrown.

"What? What is it? Tell me."

Her reaction was so different from usual that Dong-hyun's curiosity was thoroughly piqued. Serién hesitated for a moment, then finally explained.

"This skill is so broken depending on how you use it that I removed it from the available rewards when I designed this contract. I never imagined it would show up as a random skill."

"Broken?"

"If you pull up your skill window, you should be able to see the details."

Following her instructions, he checked the skill information.

"Dimensional... traveler's... what does that mean?"

"It means that as Choi Sun-woo or Kim Tae-jin, you normally can't use Heavenly Body or Martial God — but with the Possession skill, you can share them."

"Holy shit... for real? That's insane."

"You can't share everything. Only the abilities that Kang Dong-hyun himself possesses. And there's a time limit."

"So I can't bring over the Genius trait that Choi Sun-woo has, then?"

"Right. Exactly. Now do you understand why I took it out?"

"Yeah. I get it. But why is this only B-rank? That seems way too low."

"That's because of the duration. You can rank it up later, and the duration increases as the rank goes up."

"Ah... I see. Anyway, thanks. If I get stronger, that's good for you too, right? Means I can clear quests faster."

"I don't want that, you know???!!"

Serién bristled at his words all over again. He understood why. If he completed the quests, Serién would fall to becoming his slave. In a way, she'd be better off if he failed.

"Oh! Come to think of it, a new quest opened up too, didn't it?"

He'd been so busy all day that he was only now checking his skills and quests.

"Subjugation on Broadcast...? The rank is low, but the time limit is three months? Why so short. And five subjugation targets? What kind of quest is this..."

Granted, the D-rank quest Subjugating Delinquent Girls had given him a three-year time limit, and subduing all three of them hadn't even taken a full month. But having time to spare and being pressed for it were two entirely different things.

"With the abilities you have now, it should be more than doable. And if you can't... well, that's a game over."

"You said I had three chances..."

"Heh... so you didn't forget."

Serién smiled a wicked little smile. Dong-hyun was reminded, once again, that she was a demon. Let his guard down, and he could easily get burned.

"For now... maybe I'll enjoy this place a little longer before I move on."

Dong-hyun had no intention of jumping into the quest right away. Subjugating Female Gangsters had been a quest that could have failed at any moment, and starting something new required a bit more mental preparation.

Besides, toying with Son Ga-eun had turned out to be more fun than he'd expected. Subjugating someone from his own life — rather than wearing another man's body to break a stranger — was a pleasure of an entirely different order.

The thrill of toying with the woman who had tried to destroy his life exceeded anything he'd imagined. Enough to make him forget about the quest entirely. And yet the knowledge that he still had to do it never quite left him.
