John chuckled, "just a kiss, Celeste, unless you want to negotiate."
Celeste bit her lips and sighed, "fine, just a kiss."
John raised an eyebrow, "so eager for this drink, aren’t you?
"Just come here already."
John stood up and leaned towards Celeste, "well, come on, give me my prize."
"W-what?" She gasped and frowned, "I should come to you?"
John smiled mischievously, "so you were eager to kiss me? Well, why didn’t you say so? Come, I’ll give you a kiss."
John extended his arms and Celeste’s face flushed red.
He stroked her arms softly and her hair stood up. Celeste shuddered but leaned forward. She stopped when their faces were inches away from each other and looked away, her cheeks beet red.
John’s arms wrapped around her waist and he pulled her into him, her breasts pressed against his hard chest and she could feel his member pressing against her crotch, she gulped and bit her lips, her expression confused.
It was only a kiss, but John wanted to take much more from this opportunity. He tilted her face towards him and leaned into her, "open your mouth, beautiful, otherwise, I won’t consider this a proper kiss."
Celeste wanted to protest, but John’s words were mesmerising. She felt that he could convince her to do anything when he looked at her with those big, dark eyes that seemed to suck her in, claiming her for himself.
Her lips parted and she looked at his handsome face. He was so close to her. His lips were mere inches away from her own and she could smell the martini on his breath.
Celeste gasped and shivered, the moment their lips touched, she melted in his arms, the kiss sent jolts of electricity through her body and she felt her resolve breaking away, he took her lower lip between his and sucked on it lightly, causing her to moan into his mouth, the vibration of her voice felt so good on his tongue and John couldn’t help but smile against her lips.
John’s hands snaked down her back and grabbed her ass, Celeste gasped in surprise and John’s tongue invaded her mouth, swirling inside it and wrestling with hers for dominance, she moaned into his mouth, but John was in control and he dominated her with ease, he caressed her ass, squeezing it softly and running his fingers along her curves.
The thin fabric of her blue dolphin shorts didn’t do much to resist the strength of his grip. She felt every single finger sinking into her flesh, making her wetter by the second and causing her juices to stain her panties and shorts. She was so distracted by John’s domineering kiss and his hands on her ass that she didn’t realise John’s hands slowly slipped under her crop top, caressing her soft and tender flesh and teasing her nipples.
Her eyes shot open and she pulled away from him, a thin string of saliva still connecting their lips, John grinned mischievously as the system’s notification chimed. She had pulled away, but it was enough to complete the quest.
Celeste’s expression seemed to sour gradually, but John spoke before she could, "well, that’s all. I’ll bring your tablet fully charged some other time."
"Wait!" She shouted, but John had already vanished.
"Fuck, I hate that," she muttered and plopped down on the sofa, biting her lips. Her heart was still pounding, her face flushed red and her body was trembling. Her hands subconsciously travelled to her breast and she bit her lips, but she suddenly snapped out of it, her eyes widened, "what am I doing!" She muttered and stood up, storming off to her room.
Meanwhile, John decided to check his rewards.

"Finally!" John exclaimed and summoned the Venomlash, he activated Dagger Aura and grinned as the dagger glowed black with crackling blue lightning, John tried slashing the air a couple of times and smiled when he noticed the improvement. He sprinted towards a ruined building and tried his new Skill with pure concrete.
He grinned as the dagger cut through the concrete like butter. He didn’t know if this would be enough to defend against Theodore, but he thought he had a fighting chance, now.
His expression turned serious as he glanced towards the university. He had no time to waste, he had to grow stronger, much stronger. He could feel it in the air, they would soon clash and one side would be crushed completely.
He trained until night came and then returned to base to rest for the night. Tomorrow was going to be a long day. John’s expression hardened as Theodore flashed through his mind, his fists tightened, and he swore, one way or another, Theodore would die by his hands.
The next morning, Celeste was having breakfast, her behaviour was odd and awkward and Matt tried cheering her up, but nothing worked. Celeste would space out a lot and Matt was starting to become concerned.
"What is going on, Celeste?" He asked with a frown, but Celeste sighed, "I’m fine, don’t worry."
"If you’re fine then why are you being like this? Have I done something wrong?" Matt questioned, clearly worried that Celeste was becoming distant.
Celeste panicked and rushed to hug him, "no, babe, it’s not you, I swear! I’ve just had a lot on my mind, that’s all."
Matt frowned, "but you won’t even talk to me."
John smirked as he observed the scene. He wouldn’t be seeing Celeste for a while so the fact that she was already growing distant with her boyfriend encouraged him.
For the next few days, John focused on growing his and his companions’s strength. He was almost ready to face Theodore, but he had one final power-up to get. He had to fully claim Jolene and complete his revenge on Eric and now was the right time to do it.
