The university library was the kind of place Charles had always ignored. Too quiet. Too sterile. Too full of books that couldn't offer what Lust Sync now did—power, seduction, control. But today was different. The system had directed him here. A new target. One with a hidden trait that intrigued him more than he expected.

Charles walked through the old wooden doors, the scent of aging paper and lemon oil hitting him instantly. It was strangely calming. Students milled around with laptops and textbooks, but his eyes locked onto her.
Eloise sat behind a desk at the far end of the library. Black-rimmed glasses perched on her nose, her chestnut brown hair pulled into a tight bun that made her look older than twenty-seven. She wore a turtleneck, a gray pencil skirt, and heels—conservative, controlled, and completely hiding what Lust Sync was now flashing in his vision.
> [Visual Override Active] [Underwear Type: Black lace bra and matching garter] [Arousal Level: 37% and rising] [Target Emotion: Frustrated Longing]
He smirked. Under all that professional distance was someone burning for release.
Charles approached, moving with calculated ease. His confidence was smooth now, amplified by the system's passive bonuses. Women didn't just look—they noticed. They reacted.
Eloise looked up from her paperwork. Her eyes flickered over him quickly, then darted away.
"Can I help you?" she asked, her tone polite, neutral.
Charles leaned slightly forward on the counter, letting his voice drop just enough. "Yeah, I'm looking for something rare. Something deep... hidden."
Her eyes met his again, and this time she didn't look away.
"Well," she said slowly, "we have an archive section. It's restricted access. Professors and special permissions only."
He raised an eyebrow. "Think I could convince you to make an exception?"
> [Sync Level: 12%] [Target Desire Update: Wants to break her own rules, but needs a trigger]
She hesitated. Her fingers tapped the desk, betraying her nerves.
"There are security logs," she said. "I could lose my job."
Charles reached out slowly and laid his hand over hers. Her skin was soft, cold, and trembling.
"I'm not asking for forever," he whispered. "Just... a peek."
> [Command Word Available: "Reveal"] [Use now? Y/N]
"Reveal," he said softly.
Eloise blinked. Her breath caught in her throat. A pink flush crept up her neck, and something shifted in her eyes—like a door creaked open in her mind.
She stood without a word and motioned for him to follow.

The archive room was cold and dimly lit, far removed from the student-friendly front section. It smelled of secrets. Thick old books lined metal shelves that towered above them like sentinels.
Eloise turned the lock behind them.
"No cameras here," she said, voice unsteady. "I log visits manually."
Charles stepped closer, until their bodies were inches apart.
"You wanted this," he said. "You don't have to pretend anymore."
Her breath hitched. "I don't know what you mean—"
He reached out and undid the pin holding her bun together. Her hair spilled down over her shoulders like dark silk.
"You've been waiting for someone to see you," he murmured.
She closed her eyes. "God, yes…"
> [Sync Level: 35%] [New Command Word Available: "Strip"] [Target Trait Unlocked: "Control Submission Kink"]
"Strip," he said, voice low but firm.
She obeyed.
Trembling fingers reached for the buttons on her turtleneck. One by one, they came undone, revealing soft pale skin and the stunning black lace that hugged her curves. She undid the skirt next, letting it fall silently to the floor. Underneath, she wore thigh-high stockings attached to a garter. No panties.
Charles's pulse kicked hard. This wasn't just another conquest—this was a woman starving for release behind layers of order.
He stepped behind her, hands running slowly down her waist, over her hips.
"You hide so much," he whispered. "I wonder what would happen if I let it all out."
> [Lust Sync Passive: Emotional Echo] [Activated: Target's arousal +65% – Sync Boost!]
Eloise let out a soft gasp, arching into him. The sound was pure need.
She turned, pulling him into a kiss that was clumsy but desperate. He pressed her against the cold metal shelf, his hands everywhere, drinking in the feel of her skin. Her moans were soft, breathy—like she was afraid of being caught but too far gone to care.
> [Sync Level: 91%] [Climax Triggered: Emotional Bond Forming]
As the moment crested, Lust Sync pulsed again.
> [Full Sync Achieved – Eloise Maren] [Reward Unlocked: Archive of Secrets] [Ability Gained: Access Emotional Memories Through Touch]
Charles pulled her close, holding her as her breathing slowed. Her voice was a whisper in the quiet.
"I've never... done anything like that," she said. "But I've imagined it. With you."
> [New Target Revealed: Professor Nadia Greaves – Age: 33] [Known Traits: Dominant, Stern, Repressed Attraction Toward Charles] [Bonus Reward: "Dual Sync" – Activate two targets simultaneously]
Charles grinned.
He wasn't done. Not even close.
He dressed Eloise slowly, gently, helping her fix her hair, her skirt, her composure. But her eyes had changed. They held something raw now—devotion.
"I'll see you again?" she asked.
He kissed her cheek. "You'll see more than that."

Outside the library, the night was cooler now. The system hummed softly in his mind, purring with satisfaction.
> "Charles, you are becoming irresistible. But be careful. The more hearts you claim, the more jealous eyes begin to follow."
Charles turned toward the glow of the city skyline, his smile sharp and calm.
Let them follow.
He was just getting started.

Cliffhanger End:
Back inside the library, a pair of red heels clicked across the tile. Professor Nadia Greaves stepped out from the shadows of the stacks, having witnessed the final moments between Charles and Eloise through a gap in the shelves.
Her eyes weren't angry.
They were hungry.
