About Chapter 7.1

This one appeared to me in my imagination out of a single word, thanks to abcdp.

It's intended to be a more lighthearted interlude between serious chapters, with a nice message (although I understand that the message is diluted by this entire story being smut).

What do you think about it? Should I write more like this?

In particular, I want to ask about the ending. Do you like it? Normally in the main chapters, Valerie always ends up embarrassed / degraded / humiliated (or all of them), so I thought this chapter was a nice change. Low stakes, the heroine still ends up nude but she turns the situation to her favor. Something nice and wholesome - it's not fun if she loses all the time!
