"When did he say that woman was getting here?" Daki asked, half her body slumping over the edge of the bed, her skin visibly trembling and muscles twitching as residual waves of pleasure echoed through her.

"He didn’t" A strained reply came from Maya a couple seconds later, she appeared to be in an even worse condition than her sister lover. Every inch of her body tingled, tensing with just a mere brush against the bed’s sheets.

"Fuck!" Frost left them paralysed and exhausted and given how he left with a bounce in his step and a very slapable smile across his lips their torment of pleasure had likely only just begun. Usually it was Daki who drained her partners of their energy, leaving them in catatonic states of bliss after satisfying sessions but now the shoe was on the other foot. She needed to up her game, to increase her skills in the bedroom if she was to survive her lover’s onslaught. Maya at least had a powerful body, no matter how relentless Frost pounded her she’d always be able to bounce back eventually, time and experience was all she needed to improve Daki however was noticing a limit....she was exhausted, drained to the point that simple rest and food couldn’t restore her back to her prime.

’C-rank won’t cut it against that monster.’ Her C-rank strength was working against her, even when Khione eventually joined them she’d still be the weakest in their intimate group...this needed to change.

A fierce determination blazed within Daki as Frost left the private space, smiling and practically skipping. He had missed this sense of pleasure, this degree of sheer satisfaction.

He teleported back into the Lord’s manor to continue the rest of his work. Yuna was waiting for him, sitting at her own desk with a large pile of documents in front of her. She immediately moved to greet him but was interrupted by a distinct smell emanating from his body.

"Master clean up magic." It was the smell of sex and carnal joy, a scent that filled her with sour jealously. By this point she felt he was doing it on purpose, mocking and teasing her.

"Oh, hehehe sorry about that Yuna." He had a quick shower but clearly it wasn’t enough to completely cleanse him of the depths of his previous activities.

"Master I think I’ve thought about what kind of reward I want." Emboldened by the primal scent he emitted Yuna took a deep breath and decided to take the courageous first step towards her own desires, an action that didn’t escape Frost’s gaze.

"I’ll stop you right there Yuna, if your request is what I think it is then the answer is a hard no."

"B...But why?" She felt a sharp stabbing pain in her heart; such a fierce rejection was beyond her expectations.

"Haaaaaa what you think you feel towards me is not the same as what Maya and Daki do, you’re simply horny Yuna and I happened to be your most important person while also having superior looks compared to those around you thus your sights are firmly locked in my direction. A series of coincidences given life by my indirect corruption of your innocence, not love, not like, not even normal attraction so I will not respond to it. Our relationship is that of subordinate and superior and while we may foster a friendship between us that is as far as it will ever go." Frost wasted no time in shooting down Yuna’s aspirations, ruthlessly cutting the base of the stalk and even uprooting all the roots, ensuring that there was no possibility of a misunderstanding or mixed signals.

Yuna was of course hurt by his words, her head hanging low, tears forming in her eyes and a tight encapsulating pain gripped her heart.

"Try looking around first, perhaps you’ll find something real in your search. Don’t a few of the ronsos hold you in high esteem? What about a member on the council?"

"Ewww those hairy beasts, never in a million years." Yuna visibly shivered, disgust evident in her expression. The council members weren’t much better, too old, too ugly, too weak or too fat. Her master was perfect and she was with him all the time, how was she possibly going to find anyone else as attractive as him.

"Hehehe to each their own." While Yuna may be put off by their excess hair and bestial features others found them irresistible, Maressa and her sisters for example.

"What was your second choice?" He asked as she still owed a reward for her work as the Interim Lord.

"Didn’t have one?" Yuna hmphed, folding her arms in a huff, refusing to look directly at her mean Master.

"Really? You had no back up plan in case of rejection."

"Didn’t expect to be rejected, I mean look at me I’m such a catch and it’s obvious that Lady Maya and Lady Daki can’t keep up with you." She was banking on his still unsatiated appetite.

"So you put some thought into this, not bad. Shame you overlooked the most important part."

"And that is?"

"Feelings Yuna, I don’t view you in that manner and yours are misguided so failure was inevitable."

"Hmph!" His sharp logical answer only annoyed her.

"You did get one thing right though, they are....struggling." He’d have to be an idiot to not realise the difference in appetites between him and his lovers. While he walked off with a bounce in his step ready to dive straight back into work the two of them were practically catatonic, unable to leave the bedroom for several hours. "But I’ve already come up with a solution for that."

".....You...You’ve already found someone else haven’t you?" Someone had swooped in before her, how infuriating.

"Yeah and she’s awesome, I’m sure you’ll love her." The image of Khione floated before his eyes, her dynamite figure, her intimidating muscles and those addictive cheeks, oh he couldn’t wait to see her again.

"Un huh." Yuna wasn’t bemused, it was as if her Master was completely ignorant of her emotions.

".....So you really don’t have a back up choice?" She remained uncomfortably silent for a while, forcing him to reel in his desire to describe every nook and cranny of his new lover to her.

"N.O.P.E" She emphasised each letter in a passive aggressive manner.

"Haaaaa how about 2 days off from all work and I’ll cover any and all of your expenses during that time." Vacation time and free shopping, a double barrelled blow that could easily come back to bite him in the ass.

"3 days and how much is ’all’?" Her ears perked up instantly, smelling money and stuff galore.

"Fine 3 days and don’t push it." Yuna’s expression was so obvious that even a monkey could understand it. He was fine with paying for meals, spa treatments perhaps a dress or two but nothing excessive like high ranking skill books, equipment and or magic devices. An unrestrained shopping trip could easily annihilate his vast wealth of 140 gold coins, Maya for example likely wouldn’t even need an hour.

"Hehe thank you Master." Yuna cooed, fawning over him with glee, it was a very worthwhile compromise.

"You can take your 3 days sometime next week, right now however we’ve got things to do." Seeing her quick emotional transition Frost couldn’t help but feel a little played.

"I know." The two of them were scheduled for a meeting with the council, something his secretary and the former Interim Lord really needed to be present for.

"Good everyone’s here." Announced Frost as the last member of the council Rana took her seat with a grunt, she wasn’t happy and was damn making sure everyone knew. Frost in particular bore the brunt of her glare.

"First off I’d like to thank you for your work during my absence. According to Yuna each of you have surpassed your deadlines and provided a great deal of support during her term as Interim Lord, well done." Frost started the meeting with a round of applause, patting the backs of those present. Most of whom felt proud and inspired by this, Rana however loudly hmphed and crossed her arms.

"Is there a problem Rana?" Seems he couldn’t avoid this conflict.

"You’re darn right there is you brat! Why do my labourers and I have to suffer just because you have an inferiority complex?" Her feathers were fully ruffled; she slammed her fist against the table and spat flames through her eyes.

’Great what pissed her off this time’ Several other council members shared this thought. Rana was well known as a loud, brutish troublemaker who cared not for order and class, preferring to tear into the crux of any problem with her booming voice and sometimes bare fists.

"Inferiority complex? I don’t get what you me..."

"You went to Icethorne saw the size of a giant’s cock and now you’re ashamed of your own!" Her crass words had more than half the people sitting here blushing.

"W...W...What?" Frost didn’t understand the analogy in the slightest, why would he ever be ashamed of his manhood, his lovers often even complained that it was too big.

"The wall Nimrod!" Rana felt like she was talking to a moron, her words couldn’t be any clearer.

"....Oh....Ohhhhh, ok I get. I wouldn’t have used genital size for the comparison but yeah I know what you mean." If anything the giants may be envious of him.

His subtle brag didn’t escape the notice of a few council members, their curiosity festering in response.
