Zoe looked up, the entire class turning to stare at her. The old professor narrowed his eyes, his bushy brows furrowed tightly, clearly displeased: “You seem quite engrossed in your work, Miss Thorne. Would you mind standing up and explaining to the class the influence of humanism in Michelangelo’s ‘David’?”Zoe stood, her mind blank. She hadn’t heard a single word of the lecture.The class began to murmur, a few people stifling giggles.“Do you have some grievance against me? Every time you’re in class, you’re doing something else, and your assignments are always the last to be submitted. If you don’t like studying, then don’t.”Zoe pressed her lips together, lowering her head in apology: “Professor, I apologize. I won’t do personal work that disrupts others again.”Professor Sterling was slightly surprised by her earnest attitude. He waved a hand: “Hmm, last warning. But you still need to answer my question.”Zoe glanced at the l

A moment later, the car stopped in front of a roadside diner. It was a small, bustling place, the aroma of food wafting enticingly.“Get out,” Aaron commanded, then walked into the diner ahead of her.Zoe followed, curiously looking around. It was a small place, only a few tables, but very clean. She hadn’t expected someone like him to know such humble spots.“Two special beef noodle soups,” Aaron told the owner without even looking at a menu.They sat down at a table in the corner. Aaron wiped his chopsticks, then saw her looking around and asked: “What? Never eaten at places like this?”“Never have, actually,” Zoe replied truthfully, then smiled: “But it seems you’re quite familiar with this place, Uncle? Or... do you often bring other girls here?”Aaron shot her a glare: “Eat your food, stop talking nonsense.”Two steaming bowls of beef noodle soup were brought out, smoke rising. The inviting aroma made Zoe’s empty stomach rumble. She didn’t hold back, picking up her chopsticks and

Seeing no reaction from him, Zoe bit her lip, trying to push herself up. But as she shifted, her body trembled, and she collapsed back onto the floor.“It hurts...”Seeing her contorted face, Aaron couldn’t ignore her anymore. No matter how much he disliked her, he couldn’t abandon someone injured. Besides, this was his home; he had some responsibility.“Annoying,” Aaron muttered. Without a word, he bent down and scooped her up.“Ah!” Zoe yelped in surprise, quickly wrapping her arms around his neck to keep from falling.Her soft body pressed against his bare chest, and she deliberately rubbed her face against his neck, whispering, “You smell so good, Uncle.”Aaron gritted his teeth, quickening his pace. He just wanted to get this “burden” into bed and leave.He kicked open her bedroom door, walked in, and went straight to the bed. Despite his irritation, his movements were gentle as he carefully set her down.“Alright, take care of yourself.” Aaron pulled his hands away, preparing to

As Zoe licked, the erection in her hand pulsed rhythmically, growing harder and hotter, like an iron bar fresh from the forge.His owner seemed quite pleased, making all her “research” on those movies worthwhile.The engorged glans was fully exposed, a transparent, sticky drop of pre-cum slowly oozing from the small urethral opening, glistening under the light.Zoe felt none of the revulsion she’d imagined. She lowered herself slightly, her tongue gently circling the opening, licking away the fluid. A subtle salty taste spread in her mouth, making her tongue tingle—an incredibly strange sensation, yet it powerfully stimulated her senses.“Mm...” A hoarse sound escaped Aaron Kael’s throat, signaling his excitement at her actions.Seeing his reaction, Zoe knew she was on the right track. She began to intensify her assault. She continued to gently probe the opening with her tongue, then swirled around the coronal ridge, the most nerve-rich area.Aaron Kael’s erection twitched rhythmically

But sleep brought no peace.In her dream, she was back in that room. Standing in a pool of blood, she cried, pleaded, slammed her head, begging for help, but no one reached out to save her mother and her.Someone, please have mercy, please save my mother, please don’t take her away, she’s still breathing...She remembered holding that man’s leg, how much hope she’d had, and then how utterly desperate she became.The voice of the man she called father echoed cruelly: “Bad luck, bad luck. Take it away quickly before it starts to stink.”The younger woman’s voice whispered: “Brother, but she’s dead. What should I do?”His eyes, red like a wild beast’s, turned towards Zoe, trembling on the floor, and he sneered, “Isn’t there another one here? What are you worried about? From now on, she’ll be your blood bag. Take her away!”“NO!”Zoe screamed, startling awake. Her entire body was drenched in cold sweat, her breathing ragged.She looked around the unfamiliar, dark room in a panic. It took a
