Fortune Favors The Bold (1)
Everyone went to sleep, but Jack couldn't sleep a wink and neither could Angela. Both of them were awake for the same reason, but it wasn't anything naughty.
"Argh… I should not have eaten so much spices…" Angela groaned in pain, clutching her stomach.
At first, he thought she was doing it on purpose, but it was far from the truth.
Jack thought she was hurting because she started groaning in the middle of the night and didn't stop. He tried ignoring her, but the groans got louder, making a certain part of him react. It wasn't his mighty sword, but his heart as his blood pressure rose.
Unable to take anymore, Jack looked over his shoulder and saw Angela's pale face. He sighed, he was a human, too, and couldn't bear to see her in pain.
"What's wrong?" he asked, sitting up.
Angela kept laying down, her shirt was lifted, showing her pearl white skin underneath as she caressed her stomach. Jack knew she was in pain and it was inappropriate to look at her with wrong intentions, but taking his eyes off her body proved to be a herculean task.
However, Jack summoned the will of Zeus, and forced to look into Angela's eyes.
"Sorry about this…" she said, trying to smile, but couldn't. "It's the curse of being a woman… you won't understand."
"Periods?"
Angela glared at him. Her anger almost made her forget about the pain. Jack quickly averted his gaze, slowly scratching his cheek.
He forgot some women were sensitive about such topics. Even if they were sleeping together, he was a stranger to her and wasn't comfortable talking to him about her body.
"I'll get Granny—"
Jack was about to get up when Angela grabbed his hand and yanked him back to the mattress. He slumped next to her as she kept glaring at him.
"Never tell her about this, or I'll chop your balls off!" she warned him. "I don't want to drink her disgusting cure again. Do you even know how it tastes?"
Jack shook his head, but he could guess it wasn't good or else Angela wouldn't react like that.
"Like piss! No, add shit into it and make it ten times worse."
After saying that, Angela's eyes drifted to the ceiling, detached from everything. She was recalling the last time she tasted the cure. Back then, she couldn't even have water for days, as she'd feel the aftertaste every time she did.
"I'd rather be in pain and drink that tea again."
Jack didn't understand the logic. No matter how bad it tasted, it would be better than suffering in pain. But it was her decision, and he would respect it. Although he couldn't just let her ruin his sleep.
"Is there anything I can help with?"
Angela didn't reply, she just turned her back on him. Jack wondered what did he do, when she grabbed his hand and placed it on her soft, plump stomach.
"What are you—?"
Jack wanted to ask, but was interrupted.
"Just… don't ask questions and rub it for a while."
Jack wasn't weirded out. He had done a lot worse things before, but the situation made him wonder what the hell was going on. Angela wasn't in her right mind and neither was Jack's other head. Things could easily get out of hand if they didn't control themselves.
With that in mind, jack was about to get up and call Granny when Jenna's voice appeared in his head.

I got money for touching her? This shit is so easy!
All the consideration Jack planned to show Angela went straight out of the window. He needed money, and if he could get money by touching her belly, then he had no reason to refuse.
Just then, another notification arrived, but this time Jenna remained quiet.
[The Host's good fortune has arrived!]
[Money earned from the system would increase by 200% for the next hour.]
Jack had barely digested the news when another notification popped open before his eyes.

[Main Quest 02: Fortune Favors The Bold]
[Task: Make target
[Time: 1 hour]
[Reward: $10,000 (maximum prize pool), 700 EP.]
[Punishment: Sperm cramps for 3 hours.]
===
…what's up with these weird-ass punishments?
[The Host can take it up with Goddess Justa.]
Memories of his trial flashed before him. It seemed that beautiful bitch was still hellbent on punishing him in her twisted ways. These punishments were mild considering she wanted to punish him with eternal CBT.
It's understandable if she made up these punishments.
Just then, Jack realized he had so much to gain. He could make a lot of money just by caressing her stomach. Therefore, there was no reason to reject the mission, considering she was willing.
Jack began caressing her stomach, and Angela's groaning died down. If anyone saw them, they'd think Jack was spooning her.

Angela smiled, perhaps because she felt good all of a sudden. Jack took the hint and kept making her feel good.

"Ahn~"
Angela groaned again, but something left off. Jack often boasted he had golden fingers, but he didn't think they were so golden to relieve her of period cramps.

Jack won half of the prize pool in half-an-hour. He wanted to earn more, but now that Angela wasn't groaning, sleep took hold of him. Just when he was about to fall asleep, he felt something pressing against his crotch.
What the—?
He peeked under the blanket and saw Angela's pants were down and she was grinding on his erect member. Jack wasn't sure if it was intentional or not, but was smart enough to know they were playing a dangerous game there and he wanted no part in it.
She was a cop. Although she was doing it herself, there was no saying what she'll do later.
I have earned enough money from her. Let's just back out before she does something stupid.
Jack pulled his arm back, intending to pull away completely. But the next second, Angela grabbed him and pulled his arm back.
Unfortunately, she pushed it much deeper than intended, burying his forearm between her mountainous mounds.
Angela seemed to realize her mistake as the grinding stopped, before she hastily looked over her shoulder. Her cheeks were flushed, perhaps from embarrassment or arousal, or maybe both.
Their eyes met, yet none of them said a word. Jack's head between the legs was begging for some action, while the one on the shoulder begged him not to indulge Angela.
Nothing good would come out of getting involved with her. But no word came out of Jack's mouth.
To his absolute surprise, Angela turned to her back, pushed his hand further deep until his fingers poked out of her shirt.
Jack could feel her erratic heart beating as if her heart would burst out. That, coupled with her seductive posture, would make any straight man lose their cool, and Jack was as straight as they come.
Calm down… think of birds pooping on your face. Anything that will make you puke—
Just then, Angela opened her mouth and began sucking on his fingers, maintaining eye contact with him as if challenging him.
Jack opened his eyes and held her gaze.
However, he wasn't looking at her, but at the screen flashing before him.
