She tried more buttons.

It was time to see what other functions she could discover. Thankfully for her, the security was weak, perhaps because it was only meant as a test. She used her genius with magitech to start shuffling through complex magical formulae until she found other combinations of switches and button presses that the beetle would react to.

Just as Taya turned around to leave, she froze up like a board. It was the beetle's doing.

That isn't even something it's supposed to be able to do. She's manipulating the magical signals it can dispense, and used it to paralyze her, Vibit thought, amazed.

Reppi's toothy, sharp grin only grew. Once again, the beetle surged a wave of pleasure through her body, and now she was completely helpless to do anything about it. She couldn't move her arms up to cover her mouth, hide her flustered expression, and she especially couldn't leave the room. She was facing the rest of the patrons with Lynn looking curiously from behind her.

Taya shuddered, and panicked. I can't move. Oh gods. If this keeps up, then in front of everyone, I'll...

Lynn walked around to face her with a look of concern. "I thought you were leaving."

"C-Come closer," she muttered, swallowing her pride.

"What?"

"I said come closer!"

So Lynn leaned in.

"You gotta help me," Taya whispered. "Please. I can't move. I don't know why, but I'm frozen stiff. Just help me walk somewhere private."

Lynn smiled innocently. "I'm sure you'll be fine without a useless girl like me... I won't get in your way."

"Mmm!" Taya started to get **** as an even more powerful wave of pleasure surged through her body. She could feel herself tense up. In front of everyone, she was becoming wet, and if things continued, would definitely get everyone's attention. She could barely hold back the sound of her own moans anymore. "Just help me!"

She pondered for a moment. Finally, Lynn took a deep breath, and tugged down the helpless woman's skirt. Then she started walking away. "You'll figure it out. Bye now!" As she skipped away, she giggled. She smiled at both Vibit and Reppi before disappearing out the door.

Taya was left alone, in the middle of the tavern, with her pants down, frozen, and at the asura's mercy.

Once again, the wave hit her. Her legs trembled, and a moan escaped from her mouth. Reppi started hysterically laughing into her mouth to hide it, and watched closely as a bead of moisture trickled down from her panties, down her thigh. Taya was dangerously close. Worst of all, people were noticing, and one by one, everyone in the tavern turned to face the half-naked beauty.
