Shopping

Jenna still had a lot of questions that needed answering, but she was starting to feel sleepy after such an exhilarating and sexually charged day. So, after masturbating over some Imogen porn, taking a shower and then finding she still had enough energy and libido left to masturbate over some more Imogen porn, she decided to call it a night. There would be plenty of time tomorrow to complete her first challenge.

---

The following morning Jenna felt motivated to get up as early as 9 AM and, after treating herself to a brief wake-me-up masturbation session over some Imogen porn, she made a short walk to the centre of the village and into the accessory shop, where she found Chloe working about as hard as she usually did.

The store vendor was so absorbed in whatever was on the screen of her phone that not even the bell that rang when Jenna opened the door alerted her to the fact she had a customer.

"Hey Chloe" Jenna announced as she walked over to the counter.

"Oh, hey Jen. You're turning into a regular here now ain't you? What were you looking to buy?"

"Nothing really. I'm just, like, browsing or whatever"

"Sure, knock yourself out. Give me a shout if you need anything."

The great thing about targeting Chloe for this challenge was that she was effectively a sitting duck here for the next eight hours, with no way of escaping Jenna's attention even if she wanted to. It seemed almost impossible for Jenna to fail to raise her to at least one heart by the close of play, though she was hoping she could speed the process up a little.

"What kind of things do you like, Chloe?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, uh, for presents and stuff?"

Jenna didn't see any reason to waste her perv points on finding out what kind of gifts her connections liked when she could just ask them. She would much rather save her hard earned currency for more bespoke nudes of Imogen - and hopefully a bunch of other local cuties, including Chloe herself, before long.

"Did Billy put you up to this 'cos it's my birthday on Friday and he still ain't got a scoob what kind of things I like?" Chloe wondered.

Birthday? Jenna was pretty sure that in Stardew Valley the bachelorettes got three or four times as many affection points for gifts if they received them on their birthdays. Perhaps it worked that way with the Romance Mechanic too? She would check with Celestia when she got the chance.

"No, I figured I could just get you a treat because, you know, you work so hard all the time"

"Aww, thanks babe. There's a lot of nice stuff in here, actually"

"I meant more like something you can get in the Parker's convenience shop"

"Oh, right" Chloe thought for a moment "I really like those gossip magazines they sell there. I know it's all bollocks, but they are pretty entertaining and I get bored off my tits in here"

"Cool, I'll be right back!"

Imogen smiled and twirled her hair flirtatiously as the woman she was now dating entered her shop a few minutes later.

Jenna, in turn, couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and even nerves as the sight of the sweet village girl who had unwittingly become her best and most frequent source of masturbation material overnight.

"Hey Jen, what can I do for you?"

There were a lot of lewd answers to that question running through Jenna's head, many of which would get a positive response thanks to Imogen's three heart rating on the app. However, she needed to stay focused and concentrate on the task in hand.

"I was hoping I could get some of those shitty magazines about dumbarse celebrities"

"Well we certainly have plenty of those here" Imogen confirmed as she gestured to a shelf on the far side of the room.

"Yeah, that's cool, but the thing is I have a bit of a cash flow problem..."

"Well, I suppose as it's you..." the shop worker smiled seductively "If you take one of each I can make it so my parents don't notice. But you may need to make it up to me"

"Cool. Want to come over for a date at mine once you finish here?"

"Of course. I'll see you then" Imogen winked as Jenna scooped up her magazines and hurried off.

This was brilliant! She had used the affection she had built up with one of her connections to get free magazines to secure a date with another, which would then earn her perv points to spend on lewd images and videos of the first one. Jenna couldn't help but feel she was getting pretty good at this. Perhaps she had finally found something she had a natural talent for?

She soon arrived back at the accessories store where Chloe was still alone and bored. Working in any shop in this village seemed like a soul destroyingly dull way to spend time, which was why Jenna had always avoided doing it. It was no wonder Chloe wanted the gossip mags, even if they were full of crap. Jenna figured even she might resort to reading them if she was stuck here all day.

"So I got you Heat......Bella.......Closer....."

Jenna did her usual trick of leaving enough of a gap between handing over each gift for them to be counted as separate from each other, thereby maximising the affection points they accumulated.

"Oh wow, thanks babe! These should make the rest of the day fly by!"

Chloe seemed genuinely delighted with her reading material, but Jenna's phone wasn't buzzing. She checked it while the vendor was busy flicking through one of the trashy magazines. Those had indeed now been revealed as one of Chloe's 'Loved Gifts' and she was teetering on the brink of her first full heart. Jenna was out of magazines though. Perhaps a compliment would be enough to do the trick?

"I like what you've done with your hair"

"Uh, thanks I guess. I didn't realise I'd done anything with it."

Okay, so that didn't work. Maybe a genuine compliment might work better than a generic one? Jenna liked Chloe, this ought to be easy. She just needed to consider her friendly acquaintance for a moment and come up with some authentic and appropriate praise.

"I feel like...." she began as Chloe looked away from her magazine and at Jenna for a moment "I've always thought you look very bangable"

"Aww, thanks babe. Let's hope Billy feels the same way!"

That did it! Jenna could feel her phone vibrating! Hopefully that meant her challenge was complete, but it wasn't the only prize on offer here.

"Do you wanna come over to mine for a date this evening, Chloe?"

"What, you mean like a proper date?"

"Yeah"

"Sure, sounds fun" the shop assistant nodded "I was supposed to be going out with Billy tonight, but I'm sure he'll survive, right?"

Jenna fumbled excitedly at her phone as she walked out of the store and loaded up her favourite app. She was instantly greeted with a short digital rendition of that song about celebrating good times, along with a congratulatory message which was delivered by Celestia's avatar.

Amazing job Jenna! You just smashed your first challenge and earned twenty five Passion Points! If you go to your 'Challenges' tab you'll see that I've added three more for you and that these ones are a little...spicier ;). Oh, I should probably mention, I love it when you complete challenges and it boosts my affection rating quicker than just about anything else. I have my fingers crossed you'll be ready to ask me on a date soon ;)

Fuck, this just kept getting better and better!

Jenna looked at the corner of the screen where she now had thirty perv points to play with again - that was mostly from completing the challenge but she also got five each day she logged into the app. She wondered, if she commissioned dirty images of Imogen while they were together on a date, whether she would get to watch her pose for them? Or what Chloe, also on the date but with only one heart filled, would make of that? Most of all Jenna wanted to know what new and spicy challenges Celestia had lined up for her.

She was about to find out when her phone buzzed with a message from Cass.

Well, she could hardly leave her best friend in the lurch.

Okay, she'd dated two people at once before, how hard could three be? And they were all at different stages of the heart chart as well - perhaps that might be useful for completing the challenges?

Now it was time to find out exactly what those challenges were.
