Aiden didn't bother to look at the secretary on the floor. He rang his executive assistant, letting him know he needed to come collect the trash in his office.
No sooner had he gotten off the phone than the assistant walked into the office. An older woman who exuded a kind of sensual force that made men stand at attention in her presence.
She was one of the few women who, since working directly with Aiden, hadn't sat on or been near Ivan's dick.
She wasn't frigid, far from it. Ember remembered her from the book. She was one of the few women who had the power to bring men to their knees with her pussy. Unlike some women who had to be slaves to men, she made men her slaves.
Ember thought, if she could have her in the base, there would be a lot of LE from her. She made a mental note to save her and her husband before doomsday.
In the book, he died protecting her before she realised the power of her pussy.
Ember wanted to make sure she tapped into that power.
And Ivan, she pursed her lips, she needed to bring this guy too. The man could charm paint off the walls.
Ember went to the far side of the room, sitting behind Ivan. She wasn't really interested in business. She only came to make sure there was no funny business. So while they talked about Ki'ting, Ember talks to the system.
[Ready for the good news I was telling you about?]
Lay it on me.
[Promise you won't freak out first]
I can't promise that.
Ember could have sworn she heard the system sigh.

Her eyes grew unbelievably wide when she saw the change in her panel. Now she understood why the system asked her not to be a drama queen.
Her body went rigid. She was forcing herself not to move a muscle.
Shit! Shit!x10 Fuck me sideways and call me ginger. Where did I get so much LE? What's this? Calming Presence, Entralling Gaze, Pheromone Control. My stamina is up, seduction is up, and I can see AIDEN'S DESIRES!!
You've made me the happiest girl in the world, system. I could kiss you right now.
[Psh, look at you getting excited for this. There is more to come. You haven't even started the base yet. When you see the LE coming in for that, are you going to run around the base like a crazy person?]
Shut up! What I'm really happy about is seeing Aiden's desires. Why didn't you show me all the BDSM stuff?
[Girl, your man likes too many things. I told you he's crazy. He is contradictory. He's basically a Switch for everything. You do it to him, he does it to you.]
That's...
Ember wasn't sure what to say. Should she say it was weird? Should she say it's fantastic? She wasn't sure of what hers were, and she wasn't sure she wanted to know.
Ember thought not knowing was a good thing. She might find out she is attracted to something she shouldn't be.
She didn't want to dwell on it anymore, so she asked the system to explain Calming Presence and Entralling Gaze.
[Calming presence is specifically for your lover. When he gets stressed out. Being in your presence makes him calm. Add Soothing Touch and Entralling Gaze, and it's the beginning of a recipe for good times.]
[For entralling gaze, you can lock eyes with a target and momentarily mesmerize them. It makes them highly susceptible to suggestion.]
So I can touch people, make them trust me, then tell them to go suck a dick, and they won't complain?
[Add Pheromone Control, they wouldn't just suck a dick, they would suck a field of dicks. And before you ask, you use that one to heighten the arousal of people around you. And you can level up. Don't ask, you aren't ready, my young disciple.]
Fine, I won't ask. You should just come with an instruction manual. I could read it myself.
[If there were one, you wouldn't even look at it. Don't make excuses for your curiosity.]
"Em, let's go."
Aiden's voice interrupted her conversation with the system. She was so engrossed that she didn't realize they had finished their conversation.
"Where are we going?" she asked quizzically.
An arm slung itself around her and looked over to see Ivan.
"We're going to Ki'ting, little baby sister." The excitement in his voice evident.
"Didn't you already fuck brother's secretary. I don't think you need to go there." Ember deadpanned.
Hearing him call her baby sister, she knew Aiden hadn't told him about us yet. She wasn't sure how to feel. On one hand, she wanted him to say something. On the other she knew what their relationship would look like to people.
She tossed the thought aside. After doomsday, even if they were biological sibling, some people are willing to go there. No one will care about two people who aren't related.
Ivan hung on her like a koala. Ember swiveled her head to get a view of Aiden, who was at his desk.
"Brother, why are we going to Ki'ting?"
"The idiot wants to celebrate," he pointed at Ivan, who at that moment decided to strike a pose.
"Why are you friends with him again, brother?" The exasperation evident in her voice.
"He's a smart, capable person," he said, giving Ivan a sideways glance, his lips curled slightly in distaste, "when he isn't being an idiot."
"I still think you need new friends."
Ivan chimed in, "he doesn't need new friends, he needs to fuck someone." Turning to Ember, with a conspiratorial smile, he said, "Little sister, how about you sit this one out? It's not good for you to go to places like this."
Rolling her eyes and scoffing, "I'm old enough to go anywhere, thank you. And Aiden isn't getting laid by some call girl. I'll have you know my brother gets laid all the time."
Ivan's back straightened, the shock on his face evident.
"Him?" he pointed. "Are you sure? I think he's still a virgin. I've never seen, heard, or smelled anything remotely sexual about him."
"What do you know? We live in the same house. I've heard it."
Aiden stood there watching the banter. He wasn't as experienced as Ember thought, nor was he a virgin as Ivan presumed. But he wouldn't tell either of them that.
The two bickering people and one silent person walked out of the building and to whatever awaits them next.
