Chapter 13 - Sweat and Pleasure

The team arrived back at Andrey's apartment after the debrief at Association HQ, the door clicking shut behind them with a sense of exhausted relief. The anomaly report had earned them extra credits and a commendation, but the day's grind—escalated by the unexpected lizardman swarm—had left them sweaty, dusty, and ready for downtime. Sarah kicked off her boots first, flopping onto the couch with a groan. "Finally. I need food and a nap, in that order."

Lisa nodded, wiping her forehead. "Yeah, but shower first—I'm all sticky from sweat."

Andrey set down his gear bag, heading to the kitchen to rummage for takeout menus. But before anyone could relax further, the system chimed insistently in their heads, its voice bubbly and demanding.

System: Reward time~! I've been waiting since the fight ended. Come on, don't keep me hanging—complete the sequence before dinner!

Sarah sat up, eyes narrowing. "Ugh, already? Can't we eat first?"

System: Nope! Contract's contract. Let's get to it!

Lisa paused mid-stretch. "Maybe we should shower first since we're all sweaty..."

System: No need for that! The reward this time is... lick Sarah and Lisa's bodies until the meter fills to 100%!

Sarah's jaw dropped. "Huh?? What the heck kind of reward is that? That's super pervy!"

Lisa hugged herself tightly, face turning red. "I don't want to—my body smells from all the sweat!"

System: Hehehe~ Don't be shy! Hurry up—the barrier's going up soon!

Andrey cleared his throat, his cheeks flushing despite his usual composure. "Let's just get it over with quickly. We need to rest after this anyway."

Lisa sighed, uncrossing her arms reluctantly. "Fine... okay."

Sarah stood up, already peeling off her tactical jacket and shirt to reveal her black sports bra, practical and snug from the day's exertions. "Yeah, yeah—let's finish this fast." She headed toward the bedroom, the others following as the familiar pink barrier shimmered into place around the room, sealing them in with heart-shaped swirls.

They settled onto the bed, the atmosphere thick with awkward tension. Lisa hesitated, then slipped off her top, exposing her cute lace-patterned bra—delicate and frilly, with a soft floral design that contrasted her usual energetic vibe.

Andrey's gaze flicked between them, his focus wavering as he took in the sight. It was hard to stay composed—the curves, the sheen of sweat from the fight, the vulnerability in the air. 'Stay professional,' he thought, but his pulse quickened anyway.

Sarah glanced at Lisa, raising an eyebrow. "Lisa, why are you wearing a bra like that? Isn't it uncomfortable when you're fighting?"

Lisa covered her chest with her arms, blushing deeper. "I don't have a sports bra yet, and I don't exercise much, so I don't own one..."

Sarah sat cross-legged on the bed, her tone shifting to something more casual despite the situation. "Well, in that case, we could go shopping together. We just got paid, after all."

Lisa's eyes lit up a bit, even through her embarrassment. "That sounds good—yeah, let's go shopping!"

Sarah nodded at Lisa's enthusiasm, her practical side kicking in. "Yeah, and I need to buy a few more pairs too since we'll be fighting a lot more often."

She glanced over at Andrey, who was standing stock-still at the edge of the bed, his face a mix of embarrassment and hesitation. "Don't just stand there, Andrey—hurry up and do it."

Andrey swallowed hard, adjusting his glasses. "Excuse me..." He climbed onto the bed carefully, moving behind Sarah and wrapping his arms around her from the back in a gentle hug, his breath warm against her skin.

Sarah shivered slightly at the contact. "Why from behind...?"

Andrey's voice was low and awkward. "Because you don't want it from the front, right?"

Sarah shook her head, though her cheeks burned. "It's fine... Besides, you won't be able to lick properly from behind anyway."

Lisa scooted closer on the bed, sitting beside them with her lace bra still on display. She looked up at Andrey shyly. "Please help me too, Andrey."

Andrey nodded, his resolve steeling as he started with Sarah first. He leaned in, his tongue gently flicking against the nape of her neck. The sensation sent a jolt through her, and she let out a soft, involuntary moan. "Hyahng!"

He continued slowly, trailing his tongue down to her neck with deliberate, teasing licks. In his mind, Andrey thought, 'Sarah's moans are kinda cute...'

Sarah's breaths quickened, her body arching slightly as more moans escaped. "Nhh~..." In her thoughts, she whispered, 'Andrey... nhh... he's so enthusiastic about licking me... ahhn...'

The affection meter ticked up steadily, but it only reached 33% before Andrey paused, pulling back to see Sarah panting heavily, her face flushed and eyes half-lidded.

He turned to Lisa, who was staring at them with wide, dazed eyes, her mouth slightly open in a mix of shock and curiosity. "Your turn, Lisa."

Lisa answered with a shy and nervous tone, her voice barely above a whisper. "Y-yeah..."

Andrey leaned in closer, starting with Lisa's neck, his tongue gently tracing along the sensitive skin. The sudden sensation made her gasp sharply. "Hyuunn!! Anhh!!"

He continued, licking slowly from her neck down to her nape and then teasing toward her cleavage, his movements careful but insistent. Lisa's body trembled, another moan escaping her lips. "Anh... no..."

In her mind, Lisa thought, 'Nhn... Does my body smell...? Or taste bad...? This is awful... ahnn...'

Andrey kept going, his tongue exploring her skin as the meter climbed. Hearing her cute moans, he thought to himself, 'Lisa's so adorable... Different from Sarah, whose voice is a bit sexy... Hers is more on the cute side... What am I even thinking!!'

Lisa's breaths came in short, fluttering gasps as Andrey's tongue continued its path, trailing from her nape down to the edge of her cleavage. The warmth and wetness sent shivers through her, her hands clutching the bedsheets tightly. "Ahnn... Andrey... that feels... nhh~"

Andrey's mind raced despite his focus on the task, the system's meter ticking up in his vision—now at 45%. He thought, 'Her skin's so soft... and her reactions are even cuter up close. But I need to finish this efficiently—can't drag it out.'

He moved lower, licking along her collarbone with gentle, swirling motions, tasting the faint saltiness of her sweat from the earlier fight. Lisa arched her back slightly, another high-pitched moan escaping. "Hyah! Anhh... it's too much... but... don't stop yet..."

In her thoughts, Lisa's worries swirled amid the pleasure. 'Nhn... he hasn't pulled away... maybe it doesn't taste bad? Ahnn... this is embarrassing, but... it feels good... too good...'

The meter climbed steadily—60%, 75%—as Andrey intensified his licks, covering more of her exposed skin, from her shoulders back up to her neck in rhythmic patterns. Sarah watched from the side, her own breathing still uneven, a mix of curiosity and lingering heat in her eyes.

Finally, as Andrey gave one last, lingering lick along Lisa's cleavage, the meter hit 100%. System: Reward complete for Lisa! Affection +20! Shared bonus: Team Mana Regen +10% for 24 hours~

Lisa collapsed back against the pillows, panting and flushed from head to toe. "T-that... was intense..."

Andrey pulled away, wiping his mouth discreetly and adjusting his glasses, his face burning. "Okay... back to Sarah to finish hers." He shifted over, ready to resume where he left off, the barrier still humming around them.

Sarah watched the exchange between Andrey and Lisa with a mix of lingering heat from her own session and a touch of amusement, her breaths still coming in soft pants. The affection meter for her hovered at 33% in Andrey's vision, pulsing expectantly. She shifted on the bed, her black sports bra hugging her curves, the fabric slightly damp from the day's exertions.

"Alright, my turn again," Sarah said, her voice a bit husky but trying to sound casual. She leaned back slightly against the pillows, exposing her neck and shoulders more openly. "Come on, Andrey—let's get this meter filled so we can finally eat and shower."

Andrey nodded, his face still flushed from Lisa's reactions. He moved closer to Sarah, positioning himself in front of her this time for better access. "Right... excuse me." His hands gently rested on her waist for stability as he leaned in, starting where he left off—his tongue flicking softly against her neck once more.

Sarah's eyes fluttered shut at the contact, a fresh moan escaping immediately. "Nhh~... Andrey..." The warmth of his licks sent tingles down her spine, her body responding with a subtle arch.

He trailed lower, licking along her collarbone with slow, deliberate strokes, tasting the salty sheen of her skin. Sarah's moans grew more rhythmic, "Ahhn... that's... nhh~ good..." In her mind, she thought, 'He's picking up right where he left... ahnn... so intense... why does this feel even better now?'

Andrey's thoughts raced as he continued, moving to her shoulders and then teasing toward her cleavage, his tongue swirling in patterns that made her squirm. 'Her skin's warmer now... and her moans are getting sexier... Focus, Andrey— just fill the meter.'

The meter climbed steadily—50%, 65%—as Sarah's hands found their way to his shoulders, gripping lightly for support. "Anhh... faster... nhh~ it's building..." Her breaths turned ragged, her chest rising and falling with each lick.

Lisa, still recovering beside them, watched with wide eyes, her own flush deepening. "You two... look so into it..."

Finally, as Andrey gave a lingering lick along the edge of her sports bra, dipping just enough to tease her cleavage, the meter surged to 100%. System: Reward complete for Sarah! Affection +20! Shared bonus: Team Stamina Boost +15% for 24 hours~ Great job, everyone! Barrier deactivating...

Sarah collapsed back with a satisfied sigh, her face glowing. "Whew... that was... something." She fanned herself lightly, glancing at Andrey with a mix of embarrassment and a sly smile. "Not bad, manager. Now, can we please order food?"

The pink barrier shimmered away, leaving the room feeling a bit less charged. Andrey sat back, adjusting his shirt awkwardly. "Yeah... food sounds good."
