Chapter 92 – Teasing

My sisters and I are gathered around the dining table, and I'm sitting in front of what might be the most delicious-looking risotto that I’ve ever seen.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to eat a single bite yet.

My left hand is currently imprisoned in Bianca's lap. She grabbed it the moment we sat down for dinner and has been holding it hostage ever since. I can feel her thumb occasionally rubbing small circles on the back of my hand while she eats with her free hand.

On my other side, Selene's also claimed my hand. But unlike Bianca's simple hand-holding, Selene's gone full koala mode, she's hugging my entire right arm while our fingers are intertwined.

My sisters have always been clingy. It's one of their defining traits, right up there with "impossibly attractive" and "enjoys messing with Adam." But today, they're taking it to a whole new level.

"Guys..." I stare longingly at my plate. "How am I supposed to eat like this?"

"Oh!" Selene gasps, her eyes going wide. She looks at my occupied hands, then at my untouched food. "Oh no! Adam, you can't eat!"

"Yeah, that's kind of the problem I'm having."

She bounces slightly in her seat, practically vibrating with excitement. "Wait wait wait, I've got it!"

She picks up a spoon, loads it with risotto, and holds it up near my face with the biggest smile I've ever seen.

"Here comes the airplane!" she announces, waving the spoon up and down. "Nnnnyooooom! Nnnnnnyooom!"

...Seriously? Not this again.

But she's smiling so wide, practically glowing with joy. And after seeing her in tears earlier, I don't have the heart to ruin her fun. Plus, I'm actually pretty hungry, and the risotto does smell incredible.

"Nom." I eat the bite from her spoon, and okay, wow. The risotto is incredible: creamy and perfectly seasoned. "Mm! Delicious as always, Bianca."

"Obviously," Bianca says, rolling her eyes. But there’s this cute little smile tugging at her lips. "My food's always amazing."

She picks up her own spoon, loads it with risotto, and brings it to my mouth.

"Come on, dork. Open up."

Bianca’s just sitting there, looking at me expectantly, her spoon hovering near my face.

I sigh inwardly and open my mouth.

She feeds me the bite, and I'm not going to lie, there's something kind of nice about this. Embarrassing? Absolutely. Weird? Definitely. But also it’s… sweet?

I'm broken. This family has broken me.

"Pfft." Bianca snorts. "You’re a mess."

I blink. "What?"

"You’ve got rice on your face. Second bite in." She shakes her head, amused. "How are you this bad at eating?"

She reaches over and uses her index finger to wipe a piece of rice from the corner of my mouth. Then she hovers her finger near my face, eyebrow raised.

Uh...

I look at her finger, then at her face. She's got this little smirk, like she knows exactly how ridiculous this is and is enjoying every second of my discomfort. My face is heating up, and I can feel the blush spreading.

I lean forward slightly and her finger brushes against my lips as I take the rice. Her skin is soft against my lips for just a moment.

Bianca rubs my head afterward, her nails lightly scratching against my scalp.

"Such a good boy," she tells me, her voice low and teasing, almost a purr.

I’m going to die.

"You're making him blush!" Selene giggles. "That's so cute! Adam, you're so cute!" She’s practically bouncing in her seat. "My turn! Open wide, Adam!" she says cheerfully, already loading up another spoonful.

And so it continues. They take turns feeding me while making airplane noises or sarcastic comments.

At some point during this surreal experience, I just accept my fate. This is my life now.

Nearly an hour later, I'm finally back in my room, mentally exhausted.

Being fed like that is great in theory (I mean, who doesn't want two beautiful girls doting on them?) But in practice, I feel like I'm dangerously close to dying from embarrassment. My face probably set a new record for "most consecutive minutes spent blushing."

Okay, enough of that, Adam. Time to focus.

I pull up my system interface and check my current stash of Evolution Points.

Evolution Points: 161

It's an insane number. And I got here without doing any particularly difficult quests. I've been able to hoard Evolution Points at a ridiculous rate just by completing my daily routine and constantly generating new quests for myself.

Unfortunately though, I can never have enough Evolution Points. And I don't even have enough for the next body enhancement I've been eying:

Wakeful Physiology - Sleepiness accumulates significantly more slowly, and negative effects from sleep deprivation are reduced [200 Evolution Points]

I need this. Desperately.

It just feels like I never have enough time in a day to accomplish everything I want to. Between school, working out, working on my side project, and working at the café, I literally have no time to do anything else.

I want to train in self-defense so I don't get beat up by any more high school football players. I want to spend more time with Luna and my sisters. I want to maybe slot in an extra workout every day. But I don't have the time for any of that.

So I'm hoping this upgrade will help me out. Give me a few extra hours of productivity by cutting down on sleep. At the very least, it'd help me finish my side project as quickly as possible so I can move on to other things.

Anyways, I don't even have enough points for it right now, so it's time to stop daydreaming and start my nightly routine.

I drop onto the floor and begin my workout.

An hour and a half later, I'm fresh out of the shower with just a towel wrapped around my waist, making my way back to my room when—

"Hey Adam!" Selene's voice carries from her room. "Time to play Minecraft!"

"Yeah, get your ass online!" Bianca yells from her own room. "We're already on Discord with Luna."

I'm about to respond when Selene's door opens and her head pops out. She's wearing her pink wireless cat-eared headset.

Her eyes land on me and widen. "Oh! You're—" She stops, her gaze dropping to my chest.

"Just got out of the shower," I tell them, raising my voice so Bianca can hear. "Give me like two seconds to get dressed."

"Wait wait wait!" Selene takes off her headset and steps into the hallway, staring at me. "Adam. When did you get these muscles?"

She moves closer, reaching out to poke my arm experimentally, her expression somewhere between surprised and delighted.

I can't help but smile, happy with her attention. I've been working my ass off for months now. If my objectively gorgeous sister wants to appreciate the results, who am I to stop her?

"Pretty great, right?" I flex my bicep for her. "What do you think?"

She gasps and grabs my bicep with both hands, squeezing it. "Oh my god! Adam, this is insane!"

Her expression shifts into something more playful, and I know that look. That's her "I'm about to mess with Adam" look.

She steps closer and leans down so her lips are right next to my ear. I can feel the soft touch of her lips grazing my ear, warm and making every nerve ending fire.

"Wow, Adam..." she whispers, her voice dropping into something soft and breathy. I can feel each word as a puff of air against my ear. "Your arm is soo big..."

She pauses, and I feel her shift even closer.

"So big... and so hard..."

My body responds instantly. My erection springs up so fast it's almost painful, tenting the towel obviously, and there's absolutely nothing I can do to stop it.

Selene pulls back, and I hear this soft, pleased sound from her. Her eyes flick down to my towel situation and then back up to my face. There's a blush on her cheeks, but she looks way too pleased with herself.

She did that on purpose. She absolutely did that on purpose.

"The fuck are you two doing?" Bianca's voice cuts through the moment as she steps out of her room.

Selene spins around, and her voice shifts from sultry to bright in half a second. "Bianca! Look at Adam! He's been hiding his muscles from us!"

I'm stunned by how quickly she shifted gears. One second she's whispering seductively in my ear about how "big and hard" my arm is, the next she's acting like an excited puppy.

Bianca walks over, and I watch her eyes immediately drop to the tent in my towel. One eyebrow raises, and a smirk tugs at her lips.

"Huh. You're hard."

My face feels like it's on fire. "I—that's not—"

"Bianca!" Selene gasps, and I can feel the air move as she waves a hand near my towel without actually touching. "Don't stare at it! You're embarrassing him!"

I appreciate her trying to help? But having her hand hovering near my erection is making this situation approximately one thousand times worse.

I take a deep breath, trying to control myself and think wholesome thoughts. Please, body. Work with me here.

Bianca steps closer, ignoring my crisis entirely, and pokes my chest. I flex automatically.

"Huh. Not bad, dork." She nods approvingly. "You've got some definition going on."

Selene grabs my arm again, squeezing my bicep enthusiastically. "Right?! When did this happen?!"

I try to regain some dignity. "Yeah, I'm going to have a crazy body by summer. Girls won't be able to keep their hands off me."

I wink, joking.

"Ooh, listen to you!" Selene giggles, running her finger down my arm slowly, tracing the outline of my muscle. My skin feels hypersensitive everywhere she traces. "Is that why you're doing this? To impress girls? Adam, you're such a perv!"

My mouth goes dry. The erection that was just starting to calm down roars back to life with a vengeance.

"Getting a hot summer bod, huh?" Bianca's voice comes from my other side, low and amused. "Trying to get laid?"

She reaches out and traces a slow circle on my chest with one finger, the touch feather-light.

"Gonna be walking around shirtless at the beach, showing off?"

I'm going to collapse into a puddle. My heart is hammering so hard I'm pretty sure she can feel it under her finger and my brain has completely shut down

"Uh—yeah—I mean—"

Then they both step back, and the spell breaks.

"Alright, quit standing there with your dick out," Bianca says bluntly, already turning back to her room. "Luna's waiting. Get dressed and get online."

"Yeah, hurry up!" Selene bounces back toward her room. "We're gonna start building a castle tonight!"

They disappear into their respective rooms, and I can hear them putting their headsets back on, chattering to Luna about Minecraft plans.

I stand there in the hallway for a solid thirty seconds, trying to process what just happened.

Eventually, I recover enough motor function to stumble back to my room. I close the door behind me and lean against it, staring at the ceiling.

What the hell just happened?
