Step, I said Step!

"Pervert, stop sleeping and get up!" Shana, still in her pajamas, burst into Alex's room and pulled his quilt of him.

She grabbed onto Alex and was about to pull him off the bed as well when he caught her by surprise by grabbing onto her.

"Nnn, wait, just let me fondle them a little more," Alex mumbled in his sleep and pulled her onto the bed.

Being late to react, Shana was pulled onto Alex's bed next to him and into his embrace, her back tight against his chest as her head rested on one of his arms. His other arm wrapped around her waist has slid up under her shirt in the process of her falling.

It all happened too fast for the girl who was stunned like a deer in the headlights.

As she was wearing her sleepwear, Shana naturally wasn't wearing a bra which cause Alex to directly capture a rabbit. That rabbit filled his hand as he massaged it, even shamelessly poking its nose.

Shana was petrified from shock. She was lying in her stepbrother's arms while he fondled her in his sleep. She was furious enough to break his fingers one by one, but she first had to extricate herself from what was a guilty pleasure. It was even harder as his hands were incredibly dexterous and caused her to feel electric shocks of pleasure that she had never experienced before.

She covered her crimson face with her hands in shame while Alex had his way with her chest, even reluctantly pushing herself against his body intimately to share his warmth.

Alex clearly wasn't satisfied, moving on to capture the other rabbit and petting it in the same way. He even scratched and rubbed their sensitive chin before both rabbits rubbed the side of their small bodies against his fingers.

His fingers left electric tingles over her skin as left the beastiary to explore the uncharted land in the south.

"Yi?" Shana exclaimed in surprise as Alex's hand slipped under her waistband and into her underwear.

Her mind was telling her to grab his hand and pull it out, but her body didn't listen and even shamelessly parted her thighs.

She secretly told herself she was under some form of spell to justify her lack of resistance.

*'W-w-what is going on with my b-body?? Why am I d-do-doing this?!'* Shana cried out in her mind.

Alex was having a lust filled dream in a dreamscape that made little sense when one focused on the details. Everything was surreal and out of focus except for Vanessa lying beneath him on a bed.

She held one of his arms above her head while the other grasped and kneaded her chest. They deflated and shrunk the more he touched them, which was odd, but this minor detail was soon forgotten and lost in the nihility of the dream realm.

Vanessa then grabbed his hand and brought it to her mouth, placing his middle finger in her mouth and sucked on it. Alex released a sigh of pleasure in ways as her tongue wrapped and tightened around his finger, having never known such a thing were possible.

This continued as the suction in her mouth incrementally increased until it was like she was trying to crush his finger in her mouth.

"Ngghhhh!"

'Vanessa' quivered all over and chocked on his finger before a bunch of saliva squirted out of her mouth and dampened his hand.

The voice, which didn't sound like Vanessa at all shook his mind and ejected him from his dream.

Alex woke up to find his quilt thrown on the floor and disheveled stepsister lying in his embrace as he spooned her. The arm that her head was resting on was also grasped by her in an iron grip while she was suppressing his morning wood with her buttocks. The pressure was so great that it even hurt slightly.

[Sturdy as an M +25exp]

She had one of her legs raised and hooked around him as his hand was inserted into her pants, while the burning warmth and constriction around his finger told him that was not all.

"Mmnngh~"

Alex couldn't help himself but continue, understanding that at this point he was probably screwed regardless.

"…Shana?" Alex softly probed, his breath directly brushing over her crimson ears.

Hearing his voice, Shana's whole body tensed and his finger cracked and nearly broke.

[Sturdy as an M +36exp]

Alex withdrew his hand, ignoring what he pretended to be sweat on it..

[Hands of the Panty Snatcher +75exp]

[Sin Points +40]

"You… you…" Shana's entire body shook as she was looking for words. Giving up trying to say anything, which would have only been an excuse by this point, she grabbed the arm still around her waist and violently threw him off the bed.

Alex felt a weightlessness as he flew across the room and collided with the wall while feeling a strong deja vu.

[Sturdy as an M +120exp]

[Sturdy as an M upgraded to Lv 7 (5/3,200)]

Alex hit the ground and groaned in pain. He was slightly happy his skill upgraded and increased his defense, but it still didn't feel good to be thrown across a room.

*'Why do I keep getting thrown around?'* Alex asked himself while feeling victimized.

He took the time and looked at his hand that was covered in a mess. Still not thinking rationally, he instinctively raised his hand and licked it clean.

Shana had grabbed the duvet which she had thrown on the floor earlier and used it to turn herself into a cocoon on his bed.

"Shana?" Alex softly called out to his stepsister.

"Go die!" The quivering lump on his bed shouted in return.

Unsure of what to do and slightly afraid of what Shana might do to him, he quickly grabbed his school clothes and escaped the room.

After getting changed and washing his hands in the bathroom, Alex headed downstairs and made a quick breakfast before bidding his parents goodbye and heading off to school. He figured that by the time he got home this afternoon, Shana would no longer be so angry that she may actually murder him.

"Shana, dear?" Mrs. Ivanov stepped into Alex's room and looked at the cocoon on the bed.

Shana visibly shook under the quilt, but she still maintained her silence. Mrs. Ivanov sat down beside her on the bed and patted her through the quilt.

"You know, the things between a boy and a girl-"

"Mom! Nooo!" Shana cried out from within her doona of solitude.

Mrs. Ivanov merely smiled and said, "Your father and I thought this day may come. We have always known how much you cared for your brother, despite how you act."

"…"

"It will be hard on you and your brother, going against social norms. People will judge you based on it."

"…"

"Despite all that, your father and I will still love you two with all our hearts. There's no need to feel guilty."

"…Mom…"

"I'll leave you to calm down. You're always welcome to come talk to me if you need anything, or if you have questions on how to do it."

"Mom, just stop!"

Shana wished there were a hole she could crawl in and hide, but she did start to feel a bit better thanks to her mother.

As students began arriving at Little Cherry High, they found their campus belle calmly waiting at the front gates. They couldn't help staring as she became a picturesque scene of beauty with the wind ruffling her hair and skirt as it passed by.

"What is the Ice Princess doing waiting at the front gate?"

"How would I know. Maybe she's waiting for someone?"

"Do you think so? That seems pretty unlikely."

"How do you guys not know? Apparently, she's gotten herself a boyfriend. The whole school knows."

"Well, we didn't. I can't believe it. I even swore I would be able to confess to her this year."

"And get rejected like everyone else?"

"Well, it clearly wasn't 'everyone'. I could have had a shot."

"Now that's a good joke!"

Several students even begun to hand around nearby the school entrance to see the guy she was waiting for. Vanessa naturally knew all these people were observing and talking about her, and while it still felt a bit irritating, she was able to treat them as background noise.

When Alex arrived at school, he naturally noticed the odd atmosphere and felt a bit apprehensive. There were dozens of eyes trained on him and he couldn't understand why at first, but soon he noticed Vanessa also waiting for him.

'So, everyone wants to know who she is waiting for,' He helplessly sighed in his mind. 'Are these guys just a bunch of gossiping schoolgirls? No, there are also girls among the onlookers… fantastic.'

"Vanessa…" Alex nervously said as he greeted her but couldn't help eyeing her body and remembering what it looked like when all those clothes were removed.

"Scum, you are finally here," Vanessa calmly said and hooked her arm around Alex's elbow before leading him into school.

Other's couldn't hear what Vanessa said to Alex, but the sight before them was clear as day. This was the person Vanessa was waiting for, and they were quite intimate with one another.

"Have you calmed down?" Alex asked, placing his free hand over hers.

"I had."

"You had?"

"Yes, I had calmed down last night," Vanessa spoke as her arm crooked around his began to tighten to a painful degree, threatening to break his arm. "But just now, I smelled the scent of another woman."

"Are you a dog too?!"

Alex realized what he said and broke out in a cold sweat. Technically, what happened this morning was not in his control. He didn't know how Shana ended up in his bed or how that scenario came to be. This didn't prevent him from remembering Vanessa's proclamation that she would kill him, then herself if he ever touched another woman.

Vanessa looked at him with a smile that didn't reach her eyes as she stated. "Don't forget I'm a cultivator, darling. Our senses are greatly enhanced, which includes the sense of smell. Now, do you remember what I said last night?"

"That… you love me?"

"I did indeed say that, but I'm talking about something else. Do you have any final words?"

"…Vee, I love you. I'll do anything…"

"Anything?"

"Yes."

Vanessa stared intensely into Alex's eyes, causing the latter to truly feel afraid. Eventually, she just sighed as stated, "One day, you couldn't even go one day without laying your filthy paws on someone else."

"It wasn't really my fault… I think."

"As much as I probably don't want to know, tell me what happened."

Vanessa arm crushing vice finally lessened and she held onto his hand, twining her fingers with his as he explained the events that happened this morning.

"Not even your sister was safe, you scum."

"Stepsister, Vee."

"A cute nickname won't get you out of trouble, darling."

"By the way… do you have my bag?

"Nope~♪"

Vanessa actually did have his bag and books. They were in her storage ring and she had planned on giving them to him when he arrived at school, which was most of the reason why she was waiting for him at the front gate. She changed her mind however when he arrived smelling like another woman.

She knew there were going to be other women he eventually tried to lay his hands on and had thought she would be able to stop it. She did not however, expect for her to fail within a single night.
