While Laura was still caught up in her indecision, Alex moved on to calculate his gains beyond the massive upgrade that Gaia suddenly received after absorbing Ultron. The Infinity Stone fragments. And especially the fragment of the Power Stone that he didn't yet possess. He quickly took the three Infinity Stones from Tony Stark's corpse and took them into his soul, where they moved to their designated spot at its center. The Mind Stone merged with the one that was already there, intensifying its glow even further. The Reality Stone also merged with the one that was already present after he took the fragment from Angelic Wanda a little while ago, which had consequently led to him taking implicit control over Spider-Gwen's planet. Lastly, the Power Stone, since it didn't have a place, took its spot in between the other four, directly in the middle. Upon its absorption, Alex felt as if Infinite Power was coursing through his entire existence, as if it was impossible for him to ever be defeated as long as he had the Power Stone. With that feeling came an intense purple glow that illuminated the outside of his soul, similar to how the other stones had their glows.
After shaking off the feeling of false invincibility that accompanied the acquisition of the Power Stone, Alex pulled up his status panel.

As an unfortunate side effect of using the Infinity Stones so freely, Alex had essentially exhausted all of the Bioenergy reserves that had built up in the past week or so. Of course, it was an understandable expense if he wanted to freely use fragmented Infinity Stones without being affected by their backlash. Still, it wasn't a big deal for him anymore since the more his farm expanded, the more Bioenergy he could collect consistently. Currently, the residents of the Gaia Penitentiary, unofficially dubbed the Farm, had exceeded the two thousand mark. Out of which around a hundred of the residents with good Qi talents who provided almost a single unit every single day, while a thousand of them who had spent over three years in there provided him with half a unit daily, while the rest of them provided a tenth of a unit every day. Of course, there were some extremely talented ones like Silvija who regularly provided him with more than a single unit of Bioenergy. Considering the time dilation of one day to one year that the farm was under, he received tens of thousands of EP every single day, and the number was only increasing as the days passed.
"I guess I'm ready, Alex," Laura said, pulling Alex out of his thoughts. "I think I'm ready to go out and confront those guys."
"Good," he nodded. "Time to go."
Alex simply wrapped around Laura, and she disappeared into his ‹Inventory› before reappearing outside. By now, every single citizen of the Bastion had disappeared as the Widows took them away through an underground route that Alex had helped set up. Of course, they weren't going to be moving across the country and would instead be moving to a location where the Sanctuary's floating fortress would pick them up in a carrier and transport them.
"Do you want to go on a bike ride across the—" Laura's words never finished as she felt an unbearable sense of pressure all over her. Blood started seeping out of her pores as if literally being pulled out like sweat. Without a moment of hesitation, Alex sent her into his ‹Inventory›. As she disappeared, a floating eyeball blocked the sky above him, casting a massive shadow all over him and the emptied Bastion. It was truly massive, far larger than its form had been when he had first encountered its true form with Jane.
"Heh," Alex chuckled. "Did you think you could simply ambush me after I'm tired from my fight against Ultron and consider everything finished? Or was it a failsafe that Ultron had devised in case of his failure… Everyone thinks they are schemers now."
Four enormous tentacles made of blood became visible in the sky as the ‹Eldritch Leader Class› abomination's eyelid lowered halfway to make it seem as if it was squinting. Immediately, Alex felt a familiar sense of pressure assaulting him. It was the same sensation that Laura had felt before her blood escaped Alex's control and started to seep out of her body under the effects of the abomination's blood manipulation.
"I don't have blood, smart ass," Alex said as he completely removed all elements of a human body from his current form. Usually, the bodies he created when he was with his women were perfect emulations of human bodies with organs, muscles, bones, blood, and everything. Of course, it was all being emulated by his actual body. Now, however, he simply looked like a human with his insides being completely those of a slime that rendered the abomination's blood manipulation completely useless. "Don't you want to live a little longer, huh? I was thinking of coming to you with Susan to get her some exposure, but since you are so damn impatient, who am I to refuse?"
Each of the four blood tentacles was as thick as the space elevator that Alex had previously destroyed, and the speed with which they were approaching him made it seem as if the eldritch abomination was planning to destroy the entire continent with him. In response, Alex raised his arms, and from the ground around the Bastion, four similarly sized black tentacles rose up before impacting the four blood tentacles of the monster. They tangled up with each other and quickly drew into a stalemate. To break the stalemate, Alex started devouring the blood tentacles of the eldritch abomination.
[EP +1][EP +1][EP +1][EP +1][EP +1]…
The eye's panic was clearly visible as it started trying to pull its blood tentacles back from Alex's black ones, but it was useless as he continued constantly absorbing its blood and the Bioenergy that it contained.
"You are the worst possible match for me, dude," Alex said. "And now you've earned my ire because you tried to hurt Laura. You should have stayed in wait, counting your lucky stars that I didn't suddenly decide to kill you. Instead, you came all the way to me. Huge fucking mistake."
Amidst Alex's calm taunting and slow murder of the eldritch creature, it panicked and sent an enormous horde of abominations at him, wanting to stall him and escape. Orıginal content can be found at novel✦fire.net
Even as the Abominations approached Alex, he kept looking up at the creature that seemed ready to cut its losses and escape. The sky above it crackled and darkened before multiple thick bolts of thunder struck it. Despite having no method to release any sounds, the reverberating of its body and the bloody tentacles made its current state clear as day. Alex looked dismissively at the abominations approaching him.
The horde consisted of all sorts of different creatures, including hundreds of Leader Class ones, all with loads of different blood-related abilities and weapons.
"While I would love to keep you all alive to raise the next generation of Abominations, I think I'm instead going to reverse engineer you all into a virus that affects humans directly. If I don't want any unexpected surprises arising, I think completely culling the current generation of abominations is a good plan," Alex mused as he raised his palm, and a flat dark disk formed over it. "I could simply make the new virus something that affects people with age. Anyone who goes beyond sixty or seventy years of age will naturally turn into an abomination that must be released into the wild. So many ideas."
His words seemed to infuriate the eye even further, but under the constant assault of the lightning and his tentacles absorbing its literal vitality, it wasn't able to do much.
The disk that Alex had formed in front of him suddenly released an invisible wave of force that impacted every single one of the hundreds of thousands of abominations that had all suddenly gathered at the behest of their continental overlord. Instantly, multiple chunks of their bodies disappeared from existence and releasing all of their entrails, blood, and gore. A literal sea of blood and dead bodies formed in front of Alex as he threw that disk forward. It expanded into a massive black blanket that covered everything and disappeared, providing Alex with tens of thousands of units of Bioenergy in an instant.
"This is why Susan is just unbelievably awesome…" he said. "This was just a single shockwave that disturbed the frequencies of their molecules and turned parts of them selectively intangible. Not to mention, this was something that she just released under my instruction after training for three weeks. The things I could do once I form a level two bond and actually copy her abilities for myself…" There was a dangerous glint in Alex's eyes as he thought of the endless possibilities that his bond with Susan represented.
"Now it's your turn," Alex said as he released a fifth tentacle that was even larger than the other four, which simply wrapped around the massive eye and pulled it toward him. He jumped up and stood atop the fifth tentacle while slowly walking toward the massive eye in the sky. Considering his small form and the colossal nature of the constructs that were being used, it took him five minutes to walk up to the eye despite it being pulled closer to him. Yet those five minutes sent such terror through that eldritch creature that it had lost all resistance and was simply shaking in fear.
Unconcerned about its feelings, Alex put his palm on the surface of its massive, slimy eye. One moment, it was there; in the next, it was covered by a blanket of black, and in the third, there were no traces of its presence beyond the upgrades that Alex received to his abilities from devouring such a massive entity.

Not only had his blood manipulation gone from basic directly to advanced, but he had also received almost twenty thousand points of soul energy and over a hundred and twenty thousand points of Bioenergy after killing the eldrich abomination and its lackeys.

When Alex brought Laura out of his ‹Inventory›, she was greeted by the empty, yet calm remains of the Bastion.
"What happened there?" she asked him. "I felt like I was about to die."
"An opportunistic nobody thought that it was a good idea to try and ambush us after we just took care of Ultron," he said casually. "So? Motorcycle road trip, huh? That doesn't sound like too bad of an idea."
"Great," Laura nodded. "Where are we going to go, though? Where exactly is the base of the X-Men if it's not on this continent?"
"They are in Colombia," Alex said. "So we'll only be able to go up to Panama before requiring alternative transportation."
"Good enough," she nodded. "It's a road trip. We'll take a fuckton of breaks in the middle. So that the drive takes at least a week."
"If you want the kinds of breaks I'm thinking about, make that a month. Every break that you are thinking of is going to last us a whole day. New York to Panama is a three-day drive if we don't stop for a single moment."
"This isn't New York."
"It's close enough," Alex said. "I landed barely a hundred miles from the Bastion. And I always land in Central Park."
"Damn… I guess we're taking a month then," she said. "I don't just want to go there abruptly. I'm not completely ready yet."
"I'd say that you'll never be completely ready, but hey, we've had that conversation more times than I'd like to count," he said. "I guess we're going on a long road trip."
"It'll be fun, we can sightsee."
"There are no sights left in your world to see anymore. It's all a flat, barren land like this place. Don't worry, though, I'm considering terraforming this planet and bringing back the liveliness."
"Great, you'll be like a shepherd growing grass for the sheep that he rears only to eventually butcher them," Laura said.
…
As Alex and Laura began their long road trip, the Widows also received new directives to split up and bring some important personnel from their current settlement to a new location, which was going to be where the Prime Bastion of North America was to be established. They were going to bring people to what used to be the previous nest of the ‹Eldrich Leader Class› abomination. For now, the people would be moved into their original base, but they were now going to start construction on their new home from today.
At this time, Alex had already brought Yelena here, and she looked at the horrific scene with an expression of slight distaste.
"Are you sure we want to build the new settlement on top of this blood?"
"Yeah, sure. Consider it mineral-rich rich fertile soil. In a few years or so, this whole place will become a thriving ecosystem in its entirety. The citizens won't have to eat processed abomination meat anymore."
"Eat what?" She looked at him with horrified eyes. "What are you talking about? The food we use all comes from my Earth. Tony Stark pays for all of it. Right? This is horrifying…not to mention cannibalistic."
"Oh, not our settlement," he said. "The other one. The Bastion. They used to eat abomination meat to sustain themselves because it was practically impossible to grow anything despite their technology."
"But you told me about all those things there… coffee shops…sodas…capitalism… They couldn't have come out of nowhere," Yelena said. "Why would they resort to cannibalism in that case?"
"Ultron, Yelena," Alex said. "You remember Sokovia? An entire city that flew up in the air and was about to destroy all humanity on your planet as you knew it. These people were being managed by that Ultron. It did its best to emulate elements of human society by any means possible. After scouring the Bastion's and Ultron's data, I understood that it was all a lie that was told to the citizens. Coffee grounds were just ground-up abomination bones with flavouring that people gobbled up because they didn't know any better. It's the same with every other resource that they supposedly had."
"That's so messed up…"
"Ultron…is a flawed being," Alex said. "It is an artificial intelligence, yes, but also more. It doesn't possess the first thing that characterizes what we consider to be an artificial intelligence, which is absolute control over its emotions. It's emotional and acts upon those emotions more times than not. The worst part is that Ultron usually believes that it is doing the right thing, despite doing it in the most twisted way imaginable. It wanted to protect humanity, and it did. Even though that protection came in the form of mind-fucking lies and downright cannibalism."
"Well, it's going to be good for them since they now get to live under another similarly worse leader who will treat them essentially like cattle."
"That is the fate of the weak," Alex said. "I think you might be able to understand that. If the strong do not have a conscience, the weak are the ones who suffer. They are lucky that I am not needlessly cruel. I'm considering simply reducing the life expectancy of these people to sixty years of age, at which point they spontaneously turn into abominations. That way, they won't have to deal with constant and endless wars."
"It's like the difference between jumping over a cliff or jumping into a pit filled with scorpions."
"I don't know about you, but I'd choose the cliff. At least it's an easy death." Alex said.
"That was the point of my words. The age thing is like a cliff. You still die, but it's not as depressing as having people you care about be eaten and turned into zombies right in front of you."
"Anyway, we'll have enough time to debate on the moral quandary this poses," he said. "I want your input to help me get a framework in mind for this place. The architects should be arriving soon, and I want to have something to discuss with them."
"What did you have in mind?"
"I was thinking that the center of the city could be an elevated docking station for the Sanctuary. Instead of me or Gaia having to take action to bring the Widows to the ground, we will make a tall tower that has a similar oomph factor."
"Oomph factor?" Yelena repeated with an amused expression.
"You get my point. It will maintain the prestige of the widows in the hearts of the people and make them seem like the higher-status individuals that they are. I think it's a solid idea. And it's all that I have. Except for a huge wall similar to the one around Tony Stark's Bastion, around the perimeter. That's also important. Everything in the center is up for discussion."
Yelana shook her head at him, yet didn't seem disappointed. It was as if she'd expected that this was all he'd thought of.
"What about the parks? Schools? Universities? Homes? Hell, normal training dojos? Are we not going to give any of those things to these people? Even Ultron gave them that stuff."
"Of course, we're going to be building those," Alex nodded. "I want my Prime Bastion to be big enough to house at least a population of a hundred million people eventually. That's the only way that the number of the Abominations would be able to increase substantially enough. We will need these things to make the people here thrive, for that vision to come true. I just don't care where they go. That's why I didn't mention it."
Yelena sighed and crossed her arms. "Since you want this place to be that big, we will need to divide the city into different districts. The area around the docking station of our flying fortress—The Sanctuary," she corrected herself, "should be divided into four main districts for the time being. Each with its own schools, a community college, preferably a university as well, for those who want to go into more advanced studies. Make each central district large enough to house two hundred thousand people. Once eight hundred thousand people are housed, we can move on to the rest—can I get a pen and paper?"
Alex created a whole drafting table for Yelena with all the tools she might need to design his new city's foundational structure.
"So here, here, here, and here," she created four sections around a central circle. "These will be the central districts. Each of them gets marketplaces, schools, colleges, universities, the whole nine yards. Next, defensive lines," she drew four corridors that led from each central district to the outer walls. "These four places are going to be assigned to the military forces. Protectors. Everything to do with their local abomination-fighting forces is going to be done in these four corridors. These will make the mobilization of military forces much easier in case of an Abomination attack. The remaining areas will be divided into tier two districts and farmlands, depending on what you want to do. If you want such an insanely large population and include farmlands, we will need to significantly optimize residency and spacing for the city. Either that, or your Prime Bastion has to be as large as Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, and Illinois combined. Those are the five states around us. If we want to build a wall around such a large area…"
"That…sounds like a plan," Alex nodded. "I have all the resources in multiple worlds at my disposal, Yelena. A thriving population means more people growing old and crossing the age of sixty. Hence, I will have more abominations. The Prime Bastion will have a population of hundreds of millions of people in the next century. Of course, such a wall isn't feasible for now. So instead, we will simply build a wall around the four districts that you have planned and eventually build outward from here. Now that there are no abominations of insane proportions on this continent, I can accelerate time here even further, such that a single day would be equivalent to a whole year in here. In a decade or so, our trainees will all mature, and we will be able to expand our forces. That's when we will move on to conquer South America in a similar fashion. And unlike this time, the Widows will be the ones to kill the ‹Eldrich Leader Class› Abomination overlord of that continent…"
At some point in Alex's monologue, Yelena had started tuning out his voice and was instead focusing on enhancing her design so that she could have something concrete to talk to the architects about. After all, Alex would be disappearing the moment they neared, leaving everything to her to manage.
-x-X-x-
As Alex consolidated things on Earth-Z, he had made steady progress with his new host in the days that had gone by. As it turned out, giving Susan free rein to do whatever she wanted seemed to mean that she was more than happy to continue the exact same routine that she had when she was being quarantined. Down to the unrealistically high libido that she had when Alex was manipulating her hormones in the background. The difference, however, was that now, he wasn't doing anything of the sort. It was all Susan.
Still, he decided not to mention it since he wasn't completely sure how to. Of course, even though he was still unsure how to deal with her, Susan, as usual, went off script again and threw a curveball at him.
"We should have sex," she said as they ate dinner after a hard day of training.
Alex practically spat out his food before breaking into a fit of coughs.
"Aren't you a slime? How is the food stuck in your throat? It should get dissolved immediately, no?"
Alex swallowed it with some difficulty and drank some water to help it go down. "I emulate the human body. Down to the internals as well. I'm just as much flesh, blood, and organs as you, right now."
"Ahh, so what do you think?"
"What brought that up?" Alex asked. "Did you realize that I was never drugging you or messing with your hormones, and you just have a naturally high libido?"
"Oh, no. I'm pretty sure that you were drugging me back then, hands down," she said. "It's just that the current situation has a certain appeal to me, which…enhances my imagination. So, casual sex. You up for it?"
"How did you go from being embarrassed to let me see your vitals to here? Did I miss something?"
"I don't know," she shrugged before speaking suggestively. "Maybe wearing a choker has brought out a different side of me. Plus, I know that you can sense what I'm doing every moment of every day." Her lips curled up with a sultry smile. "You see, Alex. I've been keeping myself warm whenever you go away from me. But you never said anything..." She pouted. "How else am I supposed to give you signs, huh? You've made me outright ask you for it."
"As good as casual sex sounds, you'd better wine and dine me first before we get down to business," he said. "I don't do sex without feelings when it comes to my primary hosts. Initially, those feelings might be something negative, but we aren't going to get into the bad things that I've done."
"We've been dining together every day for the past two weeks. That doesn't count?" She asked needily, tactfully ignoring the meaning behind his words.
"I'd ask you for a blood sample to see if there are any hormonal imbalances inside you, but the choker helps me accurately know everything. This is a mental thing…"
"Damn it, Alex. It takes courage to ask someone for casual sex, and you fucking analyze me like there's something wrong with me," Susan snapped at him before standing up. "I'm going out and offering it to the first guy I see."
"You're not going anywhere," Alex said as straps emerged from Susan's clothes and restrained her to her seat. They held her torso flush against the backrest and tied her arms behind her back while restraining her legs to the front feet of the chair, forcing them apart. "Not until I understand what's going on in your head. It's not self-preservation, that's for sure. I've practically given you the freedom to leave and never meet me again, but you didn't do that. There is no reason that you would have to act like this…"
"Ugh," Susan grunted angrily and struggled against her restraints, but they didn't give. "Did it ever occur to your insecure ass that I might enjoy my time with you, and the signs that I'm asking you for casual sex are because I'm starting to trust you? Honestly, you are possessive enough to downright restrain me when I say I'm going to go look for another guy. Why can't you make a move? Hell, why can't you just accept my move, huh?"
"Okay, you want the truth? Fine," Alex shrugged. "You are my eighth host. But you see, I currently only have five hosts, six if we include you. What happened to the two in between? They were a waste of my fucking time and, honestly, an extremely painful experience. I'm not talking about emotional pain. Breaking the bond with any of my hosts is a horrible experience for me. Something that I do not want to deal with again. That's why I'm playing things differently this time. If I were just doing my usual thing, I would've messed with your hormones so much that you wouldn't have the capacity to think of anything but my cock. Within a few hours of you waking up, we would have been fucking like rabbits while I tied you up in all sorts of different ways and put you in erotic latex outfits. But I didn't do that. I moved things slowly, patiently. You found out about my scheming, and instead of gaslighting you, I agreed and stepped back. It's because I don't want any issues to arise when I bond with you. That's what's making me hesitant."
"Okay, one, I'm not saying that we should form that bond or whatever you are talking about," Susan said. "I'm simply going through associative regression because of this choker. That's where my high libido and arousal are coming from. Add to that the fact that you are able to monitor me at all times while I wear what is equivalent to a collar in my mind. That's what led me to my suggestion about casual sex. It makes me aroused. And two, what kind of latex outfits are you talking about? Like bodysuits? What do you think about vacbeds? How far would you be willing to go with this?"
A blush appeared on Susan's face as she continued to wiggle her wrists as if trying to free herself, but she only achieved the result of pushing her chest forward. If the unfocused look in her eyes was anything to go by, she was already imagining herself in such outfits.
"Seriously," she came to her senses and spoke again. "I've suggested casual sex to see if we have any compatibility. Plus, I'm dying to see what kind of kinky stuff you have in mind for me. If you can make me feel so helpless just by trying to hold me in place, I can't even imagine what you can do if you actually want to make me feel helpless."
"I see…" Alex seemed to realize something. "You aren't scheming something…you're just a perverted woman."
"Hey, now," Susan looked offended. "Didn't I just say that wearing the choker invokes something in me? It's called associative regression. Maybe you don't know what that means."
"Oh, I know what that means. It just means that you were a pervert in high school, then suppressed that, turning it into closet perversion. And now that you are wearing this choker, that closeted part of your personality is just coming out. Hence, pervert."
"You know, other men would practically crawl on their knees just for a chance for me to ask them for casual sex. And here, we have you. Even after I've asked you to do it with me, you've done nothing. I'm tied helplessly to a chair, for god's sake, and you've been trying to prove that I'm a pervert for the past five minutes. If you aren't going to do anything, then at least free me. I'll finish dinner and go to sleep."
"I actually have another idea," Alex said and stood up.
Susan frowned for a few seconds until she saw him pull a larger, comfortable armchair close to the table and come up to her. Her eyes widened as the restraints morphed and freed her from the chair. Yet, she was still restrained. Her legs were held together and tied up as a leather harness wrapped around her torso, attached to the armbinder holding her arms together.
"Alex, no," she said as he picked her up in his arms. "You know how I get when you baby me. Don't… I just want to have sex…come on…"
"This is part of the package, honey," Alex said, amusedly. "Plus, I can sense how your arousal spiked when you realized what I was doing. You like me babying you, whether you admit it or not."
"It just brings out a side of me that I don't like, okay?"
"Just like how this choker brought out the pervert inside you?"
She just glared at him as he sat down in the armchair and pulled her to sit on his thigh, wrapping his arm around her waist.
"Pull your legs up," Alex grabbed her legs that were restrained in a single unit and made her straighten them across his lap. "If you don't end up falling asleep after this. We will have sex. If you do fall asleep, you will wake up in restraints tomorrow morning; that will only be undone when it's time for your training."
"Do you mean…" Susan looked both scared and aroused at the proposal.
"Yes. I will give you that offer every day for the next week and put a hold on your daily masturbation," he said. "Tomorrow night will be the same. I will feed you dinner while you are restrained, and you have to not fall asleep if you want to have sex with me."
"I don't think I've ever been on this side of sex," She said with both disbelief and arousal. "To think there are conditions placed upon me getting sex…"
"This is going to be fun," he said. "At least for me."
-x-X-x-
As it would happen, Susan was a sucker for being babied. Being fed by Alex while her limbs were restrained to the point of destroying any semblance of mobility that she possessed was both unbearably arousing to her and comforting at the same time. By the time they finished their hefty dinner, Alex's pants were drenched in Susan's juices. Contrastingly, the woman on his lap was sound asleep with no care for anything else in the world. She was snuggled up with him, resting her head on his shoulder, close to his neck, such that every breath she took tickled Alex. Despite the restraints that had her legs bound together in a single unit, the armbinder that held her arms behind her back tightly enough that she was forced to push her chest out, and the leather harness that wrapped around her torso, compressing her stomach and chest such that her breasts were made even more prominent through the loose full sleeved shirt that she was wearing, she looked downright comfortable.
"Heh…" Alex smiled as he traced his thumb along Susan's jaw and down to her neck. "Susan Storm, you have been a delightful surprise for me. Not only are the powers you possess just off the charts, but you are also into all of the stuff that I like. The other girls may enjoy playing along with my kinks, but that's only because I know how to make it fun. The only one who I'll say really complements my fetishes is Felicia. And now, you might be the second one who is the same way. Let's get you to bed."
Alex stood up, holding her in his arms before taking her to her bedroom. He tucked her in, made sure that the bindings on her arms and legs were firm yet not painfully tight, and did the same thing for her harness. Once satisfied with his handiwork, he decided to make a little addition to the collar and made a leash that he tied to the headboard. Since her collar was connected to her entire harness, if she tried moving too much, it would affect her entire torso instead of just choking her.
"Night, night, Sue," Alex said while caressing her hair. "I'll see you tomorrow."
…
The rest of the night passed by uneventfully. Unfortunately, not by choice. At least not by Susan's choice, that is. She ended up waking up in the middle of the night and realized that she was tightly bound and practically attached to the bed. The most she could do was to turn on her side, and even that was difficult since she had to make sure that the leash didn't end up wrapping around her neck.
For the next two hours, she groaned, writhed, and called Alex's name out to free her, but it was of no use. She tried all sorts of ways to free herself, but all that she achieved was to make herself even more aroused due to the harness pressing down on her crotch.
Eventually, she was too tired to continue resisting and didn't realize when she fell asleep again.
The next time she woke up was with Alex already standing by her bed as he undid the strings on her armbinder.
She groaned weakly and wiggled, trying to quickly free herself, but it was no use. If anything, her actions only made Alex move even slower. "Damnit… Alex?"
"Yes, Sue?"
"Were you serious last night?"
"Dead serious," Alex said. "You asked for it, and I am delivering. No more spending all your free time touching yourself. I'm putting a hold on that."
"You can't dictate what I can and cannot do," she snapped at him.
"Do you want to play a brat today? I think a spanking might fix that attitude problem you're having. Maybe I'll tease you a little, leave you hanging," his tone was casual, yet the threat in his words was real. "You want casual sex? Then we'll be doing it on my terms, not yours."
"Damn, you really changed tunes, huh?" Susan said. "What will you do if I refuse training?"
"Try it and you'll find out."
"Oh, I think I like this version of you better," she said as her arms were finally freed. "So domineering~"
She immediately straightened up as Alex started undoing the binding on her legs as well.
"This is so snug." She hooked her finger through a strap of the leather harness that connected the chest part to her collar and tugged on it. "Can I keep wearing this?"
"Not during the physical training," Alex said. "We need you to be fully mobile, and that harness will interfere with your movements."
"Yeah, forget about that, I don't want to train," she said. "Can we go out for breakfast instead?"
"I have the Time Stone, Sue," Alex said. "If I want, I can spend months spanking and edging you with no respite, and no time would have passed anywhere in the world. Getting me to spank you for an hour or so isn't going to get you out of training."
"That sucks…" Susan sighed as Alex finally untied her legs as well. The harness, unlike the other two restraints, simply loosened and disappeared into her choker.
"Come on, it's time to start stretching."
"Aww…" Susan sat up as Alex practically dragged her out of bed, and she went into the bathroom to take a shower.
"No touching yourself," Alex said just as she went inside the bathroom. "You know I'll find out. Unless you want me to take drastic measures."
She gave him a nasty look before closing the door behind herself.
It took her a lot longer before she came out with a smug expression and a towel wrapped around her torso.
"You know, I was thinking that you would take drastic measures in the middle of it," she said to Alex. "Instead, you just left me be."
"Did I, now? Tell me, Sue. Were you satisfied by the end of it? Or were you just left with your fingers sore and tired while you reached a pitiful half-climax that barely counted?"
"Fucking hell, you can do that?" Her eyes were wide. "No, you've been doing it since the start! That's why I can't be satisfied after just doing it once. You're cheating—you've been cheating since the start!"
"What can you do about it? Nothing. And if you don't want me to make things even more difficult for you, you'd best listen to me when I give you a command. Now, for your disobedience in the current matter, you will be punished with a spanking," he said. "Since it is your first offence, I'll give you a choice between bare bottom or over your workout leggings."
"Fine… I choose over the leggings, maybe the fabric will marginally blunt the impact."
"It won't. I will make sure of that," Alex said. "Now, bend over that desk. Grab the edges and push your ass out."
"No over-the-lap spankings?" She asked with a teasing pout.
"Too intimate," Alex refused before snapping his fingers. Within an instant, the towel covering Susan's torso was replaced by her workout clothes—a sports bra and leggings. "Get moving. Or do you want to be restrained for this as well?"
"If you think I'm bending over a table just because you asked me—Mmf!" Mid-speech, a gag appeared in her mouth, muffling any sounds that escaped her throat. Alex approached her and roughly grabbed her arm before bending her over on the table. Two restraining cuffs appeared out of nowhere and wrapped around her wrists, forcing her to stay in position. Two similar straps restrained her legs to the legs of the table, such that they were spread apart. Her fake resistance quickly disappeared, and her muffles sounds grew aroused and inviting as she wiggled her ass at him enticingly.
Alex started with a slow rub along her ass and just as she released a comforting hum, he pulled his hand back and struck her ass, hard. Her body jerked, and she squealed with wide eyes at the strike.
"You like that, huh?" Alex said before spanking her again. "Next time, I'll make you count."
Susan's body shook as she tightly gripped the edges of the table.
"Three," Alex said as he struck her ass again. "Maybe I'll use a paddle to make it hurt even more."
Susan groaned in pain and arched her back, trying to hold steady as each slap directly impacted her core and sent jolts of lightning through her body, shaking her entire being.
Alex continued spanking her again and again, up until there was a puddle of her drool on the table, and her face was in it. She didn't have any strength left in her arms to hold herself up and could only release slurred groans at his final few strikes.
"And twenty," Alex concluded with a final slap on her shook her entire body and made her widen her eyes to release a pained groan. "If you continue this bratty attitude, there's a lot more where this came from. I can spend weeks spanking you until you understand obedience and discipline."
As Susan thought that Alex was done, she felt him pull her leggings down, revealing her reddened and naked ass.
"Uu!" She suddenly came to her senses and tried to free herself from the restraints while turning to look at him, but it was no use. She was still immobile as Alex rubbed her sensitized ass. Before she could completely express her refusal, he put his palm between her legs.
"So wet," he commented as his middle and ring fingers rubbed her entrance. "You were more aroused by this than I'd expected. Next time, I'll put you over my lap so that you can feel me more thoroughly."
Alex then pushed his fingers inside, and Susan's eyes widened even further as she immediately tightened around his fingers, both surprised and aroused. He slowly moved his fingers around without any concern for her, as if simply exploring without any other intentions. Yet, just that sensation was far more pleasurable than anything she had felt in the past two weeks.
"You like this?" Alex teased her and pulled his fingers out. Hearing Susan's disappointed moan, he chuckled. "If you show some good enthusiasm today, I might just be inclined to give you some of this. Until then…"
He didn't finish his words and instead started rapidly moving his fingers, impacting her G-spot every time. Within seconds, she felt like she was infinitely close to a climax that would blow her away. Unfortunately for her, Alex had no plans to give her what she wanted and pulled out at the worst moment. It left her both unsatisfied and needy for more.
Once her punishment was over, Susan had to take another shower before she could start her daily training with Alex.
-x-X-x-
The morning spanking seemed to have done its job, and Susan was on her best behaviour for the rest of the day aside from some complaints about her ass being sore. Of course, as Alex had expected, it came to an end just before it was time for the final training of the day.
"No, I don't want to train my legs. It hurts and I hate it," she crossed her arms and defiantly looked at Alex.
"Every time, Sue," Alex said with a sigh. "Come on, it won't be that bad. We'll be finished within the hour, then I'll feed you and baby you right to sleep."
"You'll have to force me if you want me to do anything of the sort," she huffed. "If you keep putting me through so much physical training, I'll get all muscly. Hell, my boobs might even get smaller. Do you want that, Alex? For my boobs to get smaller? I don't think so."
"You won't get muscly in the slightest. All of my hosts go through at least an hour of daily physical exercise; the ones focused on physical combat go through four hours daily. Not a single one of them is muscly, as you call it. At best, they may have some faint muscle definition. Their bodies are just as soft and feminine as ever."
"That just means there's no point to any of this," she said. "If I'm not going to get any muscles, why am I working so hard?"
"Okay, I think we're done with excuses now. You either listen to me, or this training session is going to include the use of this," he said as a riding crop formed in his hand. "Since you're such a masochist, I think you'll come to enjoy this training after today."
"You're bluffing," she said. "Being struck can jolt me and will increase the chance of injury if my legs give out."
"I'll make sure to spot you," Alex said flatly.
"No…" Susan said without much confidence in herself.
"Fine," Alex shrugged.
Before she could respond, Susan's arms were bound behind her back, and her legs were held together by ropes. Alex swept her off her feet and put her across his shoulder before walking to the gym.
"Hey! Let go! I don't want to work out, Alex. Do you want my thighs to be larger than yours, huh? Do you want that?"
"That won't happen because I'm here to make sure that your muscle recovery is done in the most optimal and compact way possible," he said, spanking her ass casually as she yelped.
Soon, they were back in the gym, as Alex put Susan down in the inclined leg press. Her arms automatically got freed, and her hands were forced around the handles at the side before gloves formed over them, making it impossible for her to remove her hands from them. A similar thing happened with her feet once her legs were freed. Two connected boots emerged from the plate that she was supposed to push forward, and wrapped snugly around her feet.
"Seriously?" Susan wiggled and tried to get up, but a belt emerged from the back of the machine and wrapped around her waist, forcing her into the optimal posture and making resistance almost impossible. "I won't do it."
"I could send accurate electrical impulses through your body and force your limbs to move regardless of the commands of your brain, Sue," Alex said as he placed the crop on Susan's bare belly. "Now push." He lightly struck her stomach, making her gasp lightly as she finally gave in and pushed the plate forward. "Breathing." He struck her abdomen again, making her grunt.
She inhaled while letting the plate come down and released her breath with a powerful push forward.
"Again," he said while lightly moving the crop across her belly. As she repeated, just as the plate lowered, he struck her thigh, making her hiss in pain. "Knees. Don't spread them that much."
She grunted with some frustration and repeated her actions a few times, but it wasn't long before her abdomen was struck by the crop again for not pushing the plate far enough.
By the end of her twelve-rep set, Alex struck her six times. The last rep was the worst one, getting her three strikes directly.
She heavily breathed while recovering as Alex continued tracing the crop's end along her abdomen.
"Stop…" she said. "It's ticklish."
"That's the point. To make the spot sensitive," Alex said. "Ready for the next set?"
"If I say no, are you going to listen to me?"
"No," Alex cropped her stomach again, making her gasp in pain. "Now move, we have three sets left."
Susan groaned and pushed herself to keep going under Alex, the merciless trainer. Unlike what he usually did, where he would either verbally fix her issues or be a little hands-on and grab her leg or waist to fix her posture, this time he was using the crop. Every time it struck any part of Susan's body, it sent a jolt of pain all over her body, making her feel unique sensations that she'd never thought she would feel.
By the time her sets were finished, there was a prominent red shade all over her stomach with half-square impressions that came from the crop striking her abdomen.
When Alex finally freed her arms and legs, she limply fell out of the machine and closed her eyes, wanting to fall asleep on the floor. Unfortunately, Alex's haunting words kept her awake.
"Time for the next machine," he said as she groaned and whined in refusal, but he picked her up like a weightless sack and put her in the seat of the leg extension machine. Similar to before, her hands were stuck holding the handles, and her thighs were stuck between two sets of rollers—one set under and one above that kept them in place. A belt wrapped around her waist, forcing her to sit flush against the backrest of the seat. "A small modification should be better here," Alex said before putting his palm on her thigh. She felt some movements all over her legs and opened her eyes, only to see that her leggings had turned into shorts that barely covered half her thighs.
"The rollers will chafe my skin, Alex…" She said.
"I'll take care of that," he said. "You have another thirty seconds before we continue. Focus on recovering."
"Ugh..." she groaned as Alex traced the crop along her legs while observing the reddened marks on her thighs that were identical to the ones on her stomach.
"All right, start moving," he struck her calf, and she immediately straightened her legs. "Breathing. I shouldn't have to keep reminding you about this, Sue." He cropped her stomach as she exhaled while lowering her legs. "Again."
The rest of the session went the same way, and Susan was left with red crop marks all over her body. Her arms, legs, abdomen, and even her back were all covered in faint red marks as the hour came to a close and she finished up the final exercise.
"Can you stretch by yourself, or do you need me to help you with that as well?" He asked her, only to receive an indecipherable groan from her. "I'll take that as a cry for help."
Alex didn't use the crop this time and instead put his hands all over her to stretch and twist her around in different ways, making sure that he wouldn't have to take care of any cramping muscles for her later in the night.
"Do you want me to help you shower as well, or do you want to do that by yourself?"
"I already said I'm ready to have sex, Alex," she said weakly while bonelessly lying in her chair. "I don't care if you see me naked. You've already fingered me this morning."
"As you wish," Alex picked her up in his arms and took her to the bathroom. Within a moment, they were both naked as he turned on the faucet to fill the tub and sat with her in front of him.
"Wait, I thought you would just bathe me. Why are you in here?"
"To give you a little teaser," Alex said as he wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her closer. She yelped when she felt a certain hard appendage pressing on her back. "And because I think that this is the more fun alternative."
Susan didn't say anything as Alex poured bodywash on his palm and started rubbing her shoulders. "Ohh, damn~" She couldn't help but moan as the tension immediately disappeared from her shoulders. "I'd forgotten how amazing you are at massages."
"This is me barely trying, honey," Alex said as his hands moved closer to her chest. "If I wanted to, I could make you cum with just a foot massage."
"You're bluffing," she taunted. "I don't believe—haah~" Her words cut off in favor of the moan that escaped her lips just as Alex squeezed her tits and pinched her nipples.
"No need to try and push me. I'll prove it when the time comes in a week," Alex said. "Until then, no orgasms."
"That's just cruel…" She said between pleased moans as Alex continued massaging and teasing her boobs. "If you are going to do that, the least you could do is not constantly make me so aroused."
"But then, I wouldn't get to hear these cute reactions from you," he gently bit her ear, making her hiss in pleasure as her back arched.
-x-X-x-
The rest of the week passed by uneventfully as Susan's progress in all of her trainings suddenly skyrocketed. With the addition of corporal punishment to her training routine, a submissive woman like Susan practically went along with everything as long as it meant that she was helpless to Alex's machinations. He used crops, whips, floggers, even paddles, and she took everything with the enthusiasm of a true masochistic submissive who loved both helplessness and pain. Of course, that didn't mean that she suddenly stopped playing the brat. Which meant that there were certain other things that Alex did to restrict her freedom.
"Can you please get rid of this now? It's already been five days since you put this on me. I'm dripping like a leaky faucet here, Alex," she said as Alex released her from her restraints. "It's already been a week since our dumb deal, are we, please, for the love of god, done?"
"Has it been a week already?" He asked with an amused smile. "I guess I didn't notice. Go on, wash up."
"But…" She had a pitiable expression on her face and moved at a snail's pace. "Come on, can't you at least get rid of this belt and bra? They are very inconvenient when showering."
Alex looked her up and down, pausing on the metallic bra on her chest and the matching belt on her waist that had a loop going between her legs, covering everything important. For the past five days, that metal underwear set had blocked all access Susan had to parts of her own body.
"Need I remind you, why I put the chastity set on you in the first place?" Alex said. "So that you wouldn't keep touching yourself in the shower. Now wash up, or I'll start your training right now."
"This better be off me by the end of the day, Alex, or else."
"Or else nothing," he said. "Even if you learn material phasing, you still won't be able to get rid of anything I put on you. Now get. We have a long day ahead of us."
"At least tell me we're going to have sex at the end? If I end up getting babied to sleep, only to wake up in the middle of the night helpless, frustrated, and aroused, I will go crazy."
"I'll keep it in mind," Alex said noncommitally.
"Ugh…" She grunted before stomping over to the bathroom.
When she came back out, everything happened as usual. She exercised, shared a meal with Alex, goaded him into spanking her, exercised her powers, shared another meal with him, and finally was forced to exercise even more under the threat of a riding crop before it was time for dinner. Though this was where the routine broke, instead of eating some takeout or a home-cooked meal that Susan made, they would be going out for dinner. This finally gave the Invisible Woman something to look forward to as she took a shower after her final training for the day.
She came out with a towel wrapped around her torso, which was needless considering that she had no way to take off her underwear. Still, on the bed, she saw a white, floral sundress that she'd once told Alex about.
"No…" Her eyes brightened with surprise when she looked at the dress. "This is the exact same design…" She picked it up to closely examine it. "Down to the seams...it's the exact same dress that got burned two years ago." She quickly dropped the towel and grabbed the dress before standing in front of the mirror. "Now if only I could wear sexy, lacy underwear instead of this chonky metal stuff…" She paused, but nothing happened. "I said, if only—"
"I heard what you said," Alex's voice came through her door. "Not happening. Hell, if anything…"
As Alex trailed off without completing his sentence, Susan felt a chill go down her spine and felt a sense of movement along her thighs. In the mirror, she saw two cuffs forming on her thighs, connected by a chain to each other. As if that wasn't enough, more chains extended from the sides of those cuffs and moved higher up to connect to the sides of her belt. It further reduced her freedom of movement.
"I should seriously just stop talking, shouldn't I?" She spoke to herself while looking at the chains that had suddenly appeared. Shaking her head in defeat, she slipped the dress over herself as it automatically wiggled around and perfectly fit itself over her body. It was just low enough that it hid the cuffs on her thighs, but only barely, making sure that she would have to be conscious of every step that she took. Not to mention that walking normally was going to be a challenge in and of itself, considering the short chain that connected the cuffs on her thighs.
She spent almost an hour after that in the name of putting on some light makeup and finally called out to Alex to go out on their date.
"Perfection," he said with a mesmerized look in his eyes. "You look beautiful."
"So, can we just skip the date part and move to sex?" She asked. "I swear, if we go out while I'm like this, I'm going to leave a trail of water wherever I go."
"Don't ruin it, Sue," Alex said gently. "You get to choose whether you want to watch a movie first and then eat dinner, or do it the other way around."
The woman looked helpless and sighed, with her shoulders slouching. "Dinner… I'm hungry. We can watch a movie after that."
"Sure, let's go," Alex nodded and brought her to the basement parking.
"So did you just take over all of Victor's assets?" Susan asked as she saw him grab the keys for a familiar Porsche 911.
"I took over a significant part of the country when I came here," he said, opening the door for her. "That included his dying company and assets. In exchange, I offered him a position on another planet."
"I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that he didn't have much of a choice in accepting or rejecting that offer."
"No," Alex said as he sat in the driver's seat. "But you understood who you were getting into bed with when you realized the whole lie about you being radioactive."
"Can't argue with that logic," she said. "It seems that I keep getting drawn to dysfunctional people in my life."
"Hey, now. Dysfunctional?" Alex said. "I can function just fine."
"You are a symbiote, Alex, the literal embodiment of a co-dependent life form. And as hot as I think it is, you have to understand that such a deep level of control over another person's body is a little weird."
"So you're saying that I should get rid of the chastity set," he said.
"Yes, please!" She said. "It's worse when I'm wearing it, I feel like a leaky faucet all the time. I'm pretty sure that I'd be able to handle myself better if I didn't have the psychological weight of this metal underwear."
"You don't have to be embarrassed by being aroused," he said. "I like seeing you aroused all the time. And I also like that I have such a primal level of control over you. Is it an unhealthy fetish? Probably. Can it actually harm anyone that I'm connected to? Not in the slightest. That's the benefit of being an alien."
"Are you sure you don't just want to take me right here?" She offered before gripping the hem of her dress. "Seriously, I've been ready for a week. You just need to say the word at this point." As if to make a point, she raised her dress high enough to show him the glistening drops on the metal.
"Patience will reward you, Sue," Alex said. "Impatience might just get you an extended sentence. And neither of us wants that, right?"
"Damnit…" She mumbled.
…
They had an enjoyable yet uneventful dinner where Susan kept trying to entice Alex with all sorts of proposals to do things to her, but he held strong. Yet, against a woman who had been denied for a whole week while being teased by him, it was a losing battle. While he was able to hold on until the end of dinner, when they were in a private movie theater with only the two of them as the audience, she made a move that truly pushed his willpower to the limits.
"I don't give a fuck about watching a boring ass movie," she said just as the opening production studio logo came up. Before Alex could say anything, she slipped off her seat and crawled in between his legs. She looked up at him with a threat to stop her before pulling his trousers down. His cock sprang up in her face, making her smile. Unfortunately, the rest of her body language and the look in her eyes made her seem a little deranged. "If you dare to deny me after this, I swear, I am going to bite your nuts off."
"Noted," Alex nodded before feeling the woman wrap her mouth around his girth. "Easy with the teeth…" After trying to take a quarter of his erection into her mouth, she gagged a little and pulled back.
"The only reason I'm doing this is because I'm too horny to think straight," she said. "I would never stoop low enough to blow someone otherwise."
"So you've never given a blowjob. Interesting, at least I now I know what wins between your pride and lust," Alex chuckled. "Good to know. I'll guide you, don't worry." Not waiting for her response, he put his hand in her hair and gathered it all before clasping it tightly in his fist. "Just make sure your teeth don't graze my cock. I'll guide you with everything else."
She kept looking up at him as Alex pulled her head closer to his cock, only for her to open her mouth and take him in while still looking at him. He almost came right there, considering the situation, but he managed to hold back and slowly guided Susan into her first blowjob.
-x-X-x-
What Susan lacked in experience, she more than made up for with her bratty attitude in her blowjob. The way she continued looking at him with eyes full of a mix of arousal and threat was enough to make Alex erupt, but the way she obediently let him move her head around with no resistance in the slightest only enhanced the experience. The woman pressed all the right buttons with her attitude and the obedience of her body that which overshadowed her lack of experience. If anything, controlling her head like a flesh light was like a cherry on top of the cake that was Susan Storm.
As he erupted in her mouth, she broke out in a fit of coughs, spilling everything over herself.
"At least warn me, man," she said with annoyance.
"Don't worry, we'll work on swallowing eventually. First, I'll have to train your throat to be able to take my whole cock without gagging. You were barely three-quarters of the way through. Those are rookie numbers."
"You're too big for it to be realistic," she said dismissively. "It's unfair to be able to make it as big as you want it to be."
"Hah, funny thing about that. I have slightly different sizes with every single one of my hosts, depending on how much they can take while it is still pleasurable. The size that you just sucked is optimal in pleasuring you according to your body. If it's any bigger, it will just hurt when it roughly impacts your cervix."
"That's the kind of dirty talk that turns me on," she said dryly. "You remember my words before I took that monster inside my mouth, right?"
"I thought that an unarousing fact might delay things, but since not, I think we can move on to the main event. It isn't a very good movie anyway."
"What were we even supposed to be watching?" She asked.
"Some chick flick, I think," Alex said. "I stopped paying attention once you knelt between my legs."
"Whatever," she rolled her eyes and grabbed Alex's hand, forcefully pulling him up. "It's time for you to make good on your word. I want you to tie me up good and fuck me. Fuck me until I can't form coherent words anymore, okay?"
Alex didn't say anything and yanked her arm, pulling her close to himself. Before she could say anything to reprimand him, he pressed his lips against hers and initiated a deep kiss.
She didn't even notice the location change from the inside of a movie theater to a customized sex dungeon as Alex teleported them using his ‹Inventory›. Still lost in the rough kiss, she failed to react as Alex grabbed her arms and tied them behind her back.
It was only when the ropes were wrapped around her forearms, holding her arms together in a box-tie, that she pulled back from the kiss and looked at him deeply.
"So we're doing this?"
"Don't tell me you're getting cold feet now," Alex said.
"Never," she said with a challenge in her eyes.
"That's the spirit," he resumed their kiss before making her clothes, including her special metal underwear, disappear, leaving her bare as he continued weaving more ropes around her torso, creating a rope harness attached to the ropes on her arms that also compressed her chest and stomach.
Once he was done, he stepped back from the kiss to admire his handiwork. The diamond patterns seemed meticulously adjusted around her body as the ropes compressed her breasts from all sides, forcing them out alluringly.
"Hey~" She stepped closer to him. "Why are you moving away?"
"To put this in place," he said before a hook descended from the ceiling. Susan's eyes widened in a panic.
"You are not putting that in my ass. You are the only person I've ever given a blowjob to. Do you think I have any experience with ass stuff? No! You cannot put that in my ass…"
"It's not for your ass," he said with amusement. "For the time being, at least."
He pulled the hook around her and attached it to the back of her rope harness.
"I made sure to use extra ropes to keep this from being too uncomfortable."
"Keep what from being too—haah…" She was suddenly swept up off her feet as the hook rose higher, forcing the ropes to dig into her skin as her legs dangled from her harness. "Fuck…It's digging into…my…pussy."
"That was the plan," Alex said. "You can enjoy the ropes hugging you for the next few minutes as I work on your legs."
"Minutes?!" She looked at him incredulously. "These ropes are digging into my skin."
"Yet, the weight is evenly spread out so that nothing is too tight," he said. "I know what I'm doing, Sue." Alex brought his hand to her chest and gave her breast a firm squeeze, making her gasp with pleasure. "Did I mention that such a harness works wonders on sensitizing certain parts of your body?" He pinched her nipple, interrupting her response as another pleased gasp was forced through her lips.
"More…" She gasped out with a hazy look in her eyes as she looked at him.
"For sure," Alex bent forward and grabbed one of her legs, raising it up as a leather shackle attached to a chain lowered from the ceiling. Alex wrapped it around her thigh and tightened it before it automatically got raised. Another leather shackle fell from the ceiling as Alex repeated the same process for her other leg, forcing Susan to hang from the ceiling while her legs were spread apart in the shape of an M.
She hadn't been able to say a word since every time she opened her mouth to say something quippy or sarcastic, he would pinch or twist one of her nipples, turning those words into constant, helpless yet immensely aroused groans and gasps.
Once finished, he stepped back again to admire his handiwork. This time, Susan had no way of closing the gap between them and couldn't help but feel like some kind of showpiece.
"That look makes me feel weirdly objectified," she said. "Unfortunately, there is a tiny part of me that enjoys it…"
"You should let that part of you take over for today," Alex said. "I'm going to do a lot more than just objectify you."
"Will you, now?" She teased while wiggling her torso in a way that made her chest bounce. As a consequence, she started rocking from side to side, which made Alex chuckle as he came up to her and held her in place by her calves.
"You just love enticing me, don't you?"
"I just want you to get rid of that rope that's digging into my vagina, Alex," she said. "She's under a lot of stress right now."
"Is she now?" Alex asked her as he put his hand on her pelvis and started gently massaging the area. "Does it feel better?"
"I don't know…" She whispered.
"You've already soaked the rope," he reprimanded and brought his hand to her labia to gently massage her lips.
"It means I don't need any more foreplay, Alex," she said with a moan. "Fuck me~ Please."
"How could I say no to that?" With a thought from Alex, the rope going between Susan's crotch disappeared completely, leaving her entirely exposed in front of him as her fluids dripped below her. He lightly rubbed her entrance before pushing two fingers in and teasing her.
"Just fuck me already, Alex," she whined. "I want to feel your cock. Not your finger… That's not your cock, is it?"
"Don't be cheeky or I might find a different place to put my cock inside," Alex's threat included practically pushing his thumb inside her ass. The shock made her gasp loudly as her eyes opened wide. Before she could respond, he pushed his cock inside her pussy with his thumb still inside her ass. "Next time you're cheeky, I'll gag you."
As Alex started thrusting inside her, Susan couldn't help but moan repeatedly as her eyes practically went to the back of her head. He grabbed the ropes wrapped around her and used them as handles to control her movements completely while thrusting roughly inside her. Her moans kept getting louder and louder with each thrust, and within a minute, she climaxed, tightening up around Alex's cock. He didn't slow down for a second, but he did change his means of leverage from the ropes to her breasts. He pinched both her nipples firmly to hold her in place. With each thrust, they would get roughly pulled, and yet, her moans only grew more enthused as the lines between pain and pleasure started to blur. Soon, she came again and tightened around Alex's shaft as if wanting to milk him dry. Of course, his endurance wasn't that low. He then let go of her nipples and opted to slap her tits instead. She continued responding positively to the abuse that he delivered to her tits and reached a third climax and tightened up, unsuccessfully trying to make him cum.
That went on until Susan had crossed the double digits and her entire body was covered in marks from all of the slapping, flogging, and biting that Alex had delivered to her. She was left a hot, drooling, sweaty, and bumbling mess by the time another orgasm rocked her body. It was then that Alex also came inside her and filled her up to the brim.
"Talk about awesome… Let's go again," he said while huffing lightly, while Susan was completely passed out.
On a side note, he finally formed the level two bond with Susan, which was deep enough to allow him to copy all three of her abilities. Naturally, while he wouldn't have as much of the raw output as she, his precise control was going to make the abilities far more dangerous.
***
The entire night passed by in a blur of drunk pleasure and desire, and by the time morning came along, Alex's level two bond with Susan had completely stabilized.

With his and Susan's relationship taking a step forward, another week or so sailed by before Alex brought her to a special place. Considering that he'd already shown and played with her in the presidential sex dungeon in the White House, this special place held a different kind of significance. He brought her down to the core of her planet to show her the workings of the Shield Generator powered by her planet's core.
In the three weeks that they had spent together, Alex had moved with unreal efficiency and had already established authority over most of the world's superpowers and governments in the name of the Gaia Federation. While he'd kept Susan somewhat sheltered from a lot of it since her situation was special, her planet was already very different from the one she recalled from three weeks ago. Of course, the primary reason that he moved with such haste was that this planet was already drawing closer to Gaia. He wanted to take the opportunity to directly merge it into the cluster when the two celestial entities drew close enough. If he missed the opportunity, this planet would be in a similar situation to Earth-65, which, despite being a part of the Gaia Federation, was aimlessly moving in its orbit, waiting for its trajectory to eventually draw it closer to the Gaia Cluster.
Another week passed, and Susan helped Alex iron out some of the kinks in the generator's design. Ultimately, it was finalized well in time for the big day.
"You ready?" Alex asked.
"I don't know," Susan said hesitantly. "Are you sure I won't need a space suit?"
"With my enhancements, you can casually shatter the crust of an Earth-sized planet. You can handle some vacuum," he said before grabbing her hand. "Don't hold your breath."
Susan suddenly felt Alex sucking in a familiar energy from the environment all around her. Not only that, he was releasing a reality-defying crimson energy that sent chills down her spine. The mere pressure of him harnessing such a massive level of energy would have sent her to her knees if he hadn't been holding her. She didn't have the mental capacity to process the complexity of the three-dimensional structure that started forming in front of them while Alex poured nigh-endless amounts of energy into it.
Alex simply stepped forward, and Susan involuntarily followed suit. Immediately, the world around her broke down. The laws of physics stopped functioning, and the concepts of space and time seemed to lose all meaning. She felt a sudden overwhelming influx of information that her brain failed to process, instead treating it as if streaks of light were passing by her while she was experiencing tunnel vision. The glimpses that her brain was able to process seemed like glimpses of countless galaxies expanding and imploding in on themselves, followed by universes and something even beyond.
Suddenly, everything snapped back to normal, yet it was as if everything had changed. Susan was floating in space beside Alex as he seemed to be holding back something very uncomfortable.
"Okay… forcing my way through hyperspace is a bad idea… especially without the necessary protection against the exposure to its inverse space... Sue, you okay?" Alex asked, shaking Susan's shoulders. "Snap out of it. All you saw was the birth of the Fifth Cosmos. You'll see a lot more impactful stuff eventually."
She opened her mouth to speak, but instead vomited the contents of her stomach right on Alex's shoes. The only positive was that all she let out was her stomach bile. Any food she ate was usually immediately digested and converted into nutrients.
"How can I…How can I hear you? We're in space."
"There's a lot to your powers that you still need to discover, Sue," Alex said. "We are currently inside a bubble made of your psionic force fields. While I wasn't able to create air because I don't yet have enough control over the frequency manipulation part of your abilities, I can make sure that our sounds are perfectly transmitted as far as they need to."
"But I'm not suffocating."
"That's a benefit of having me around. Your powers are only helping to transmit the vibrations accurately."
"Alex…Are you manually controlling every single wave that is being produced when sound is produced?" she said with disbelief. "That's impossible."
"For a human, maybe," he said dismissively. "If you think that's a big deal, I just breached light speed for a moment there. That's what's truly impressive."
"What!?" The woman's eyes widened in both shock and horror. "You just did what?"
"I breached light speed," Alex said with emphasis. "That's why the vertigo was strong enough to practically kill you if not for your current physique and my protections. We went into Hyperspace for a brief instant there and emerged here. That's why there were no other side effects."
"Alex…" Susan looked at him flatly. "Fuck!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.
"All right, it's happening," Alex grabbed her head and forced Susan to look in the direction of her planet. "You can freak out about me breaching light speed later. This is a once-in-a-lifetime view."
In their vision, there were almost a hundred celestial bodies, counting both the Earths and their Moons—man-made or otherwise. Out of those hundred or so bodies, a few seemed to be separated in their own world, enveloped by spherical shields made of hexagonal structures. Gaia's two Earths and their respective moons were isolated from the effects of the other planets and specifically stood out due to their irregular shape compared to other similar celestial bodies. When she looked slightly closer, she felt that the planets were rotating at an unreal speed compared to the others. It was to the point that she couldn't even make out anything on the surface beyond the shades of blue, brown, and green.
"Is that the time dilation thing you were talking about, Alex?" Susan asked with a frown. "Those planets are moving so much faster than the others."
"You can see that?" Alex asked, for once, seeming genuinely surprised.
"Shouldn't I be able to? Your so-called Farm and Research Earths are rotating so fast… Is that even okay for a planet?"
"Yeah, it's fine. The Time Stone is very robust…" Alex dismissed her concerns. "Let's focus on you first, Sue. You are the only one who is seeing the speed of those planets from an outside perspective, aside from me, of course. But my reasons include the ownership of the Time Stone. That's very special."
"So what do others see?" She asked him.
"Just the blue hexagonal shields…" Alex trailed off. "That means your variants can also probably see inside the sphere… Great, another thing I need to worry about. Anyway, it's about to start. Pay close attention. I want to see how the merger looks through your eyes."
First, the planetary shield of Susan's Earth was activated, rapidly enveloping the entire planet within its hexagonal structures. Next, as the large sphere of Gaia was aligned with Susan's Earth, the lone planet and its moon started getting pulled toward the larger sphere as if by magic. But she knew it was all science and a precise application of the interaction between the bodies' gravitational forces being expressed through their individual shields. Steadily, the two celestial bodies drew ever closer, only for Susan's planet to seamlessly pass through the shield that surrounded Gaia while maintaining its own shields as a secondary defense. Once inside Gaia's sphere, Susan's planet aligned itself with the other two planets and released two beams of light toward both Farm and Research Earth, forming what seemed like planetary corridors made of light. As the three planets and their moons came into formation, the rotational speed of Susan's planet started accelerating slowly until it perfectly matched the speeds of the other two planets.
"Now then," Alex said. "Since the third planet is done, do you want to do some real work and help me acquire my fourth planet?"
"I don't get to go home?" She asked him.
"Of course you do," Alex said. "If anything, once you go home, it will be months before there's any point to leaving. After all, a year will pass on your planet while barely a day will pass outside the Gaia cluster. So, do you want to get back to our routine of training your mind, body, and soul in both combative and sexual ways, or do you want to have a short adventure before we get back to that routine?"
"An adventure doesn't sound too bad…"
"Attagirl," Alex spanked her ass, making her yelp as she turned to look at him with admonishment, yet the excitement shining in her eyes told an entirely different story.
