Wives For Later, Maria For Now

I don't know who her adult daughters are, how many there are, or if the one I just saw is even legal yet... but if nothing else, Zeus' Bride must at least ensure she stops threatening to call the police on me. I slot the punishment in and quickly check up on who the Hell I just added to my collection:

KIMBERLY MATHEU
Becomes aroused whenever she’s within five feet of an adult family member: 5 gems.
Causes arousal in any adult in her family who hears or touches her: 10 gems.
**** is no longer taboo for her or anyone she commits **** with: 15 gems.
Breasts increase to C-cup: 5 gems.
Her nipples double in size and sensitivity: 4 gems.
She begins lactating again and grows a cup size: 2 gems.
Her age fluctuates based on the sun, at minimum of 18 at noon and at the maximum of her current age at midnight: 35 gems.
She resumes home schooling her adult daughters, but only to educate them on being sluts and they can't refuse: 40 gems.
She gains the maximum human flexibility possible in all joints and other portions of her body: 7 gems.
She grows another foot in height: 6 gems.
Clothes deteriorate while she wears them at a hundred times the normal pace: 18 gems.
She must greet people by sexually groping them without retaliation or repercussions: 15 gems.
Hotkey, unlimited: lose balance but only falls in the most sexual way possible: 19 gems.
Hotkey, unlimited: compel her to call User: 3 gems.
Hotkey, unlimited: squeeze boobs together: 5 gems.

As weird and wild a set as I've seen yet, but the only thing that interests me immediately are the advanced option under her punishment.

KIMBERLY MATHEU
Punishment: Zeus' Bride (She puts every effort she can into preparing herself and her adult daughters to be lovers or wives for User, as User prefers, and her commands to this end cannot be resisted by her daughters.)
ADVANCED OPTIONS:
She always acts in User's best interests, even if he doesn't direct her to do so, unless User explicitly orders her not to: 5 gems.
Sexual sensitivity, activity, and eagerness become virtues sought to satisfy User's desired relationship: 10 gems.
Everyone besides her and her daughters views the consequences of this punishment as healthy and legally obligatory: 5 gems.

Maybe it's Ginger, maybe it's the punishment... but this seems wildly affordable for what it results in.

KIMBERLY MATHEU
Punishment: Zeus' Bride, Advanced: Loyal Lover (She always acts in User's best interests, even if he doesn't direct her to do so, unless User explicitly orders her not to.)
Punishment: Zeus' Bride, Advanced: Bed Warmers (Sexual sensitivity, activity, and eagerness become virtues sought to satisfy User's desired relationship.)
Punishment: Zeus' Bride, Advanced: Taken in Hand (Everyone besides her and her daughters views the consequences of this punishment as healthy and legally obligatory.)
Hotkey: Call Me (Unlimited hotkey to compel Custom Girl to call User.)
TOTAL COST: 23 gems. OK? PURCHASED!

I don't want to lose track of my fifteenth Custom Girl, but I also don't want to take too much time with her and let Maria slip away. As is, I can't imagine how she takes the scene that's unfolded so far, and a glance her way tells me that Ginger's freezing act is over. I look back up at Kimberly, my newest addition... and purchase her cart. A look of something like fear, or acknowledgement, but certainly not acceptance, creeps past her mask of rage and whittles her down to a head-shaking, frowning woman who seems smaller every minute she looks down at me. Watching her confidence and anger melt away would have stunned me before now... but the app's power is clear, and the only surprising thing is that she still stands there, looking down at me from outside as if expecting a response to her tirade. I don't even know what to ask, but she does it for me. “Wh... What is... this?”

I offer her as consoling a smile as I can manage. “All we can do now is... prepare to enjoy our lives together.”

“That's... I agree.” She shakes her head more vigorously as she rubs her eyes. “No, why am I...?”

“Here,” I almost whisper as I pull my phone out, “text your own cell with this. That way we’ll have each other’s numbers. We’ll talk later about how to handle this.”

“You… are right, I mean I should at least have your number.” The punishments, I’m reminded, always have awareness turned on, so Kimberly’s expression and tone do not at all match the agreeable lover that she has just become. Instead, she just shakes her head and breathes, “This isn’t happening.”

She was going to call the cops on me, probably sue me into oblivion, just a moment ago… and thinking about that, about how she threatened me for my (admittedly reckless) driving, helps me reply in a voice sterner than I normally dare, “It’s happening. If you try to do anything to hurt or threaten me again, something worse will follow, even if I don’t want it to. Do you understand?”

“I… no, I don’t.” She wants to say something else, probably something more vicious, but her mouth now translates her vicious retorts into pleasant answers.

“It’s okay, it’ll make sense later. Go and take care of your family.”

Ms. Matheu, stunned into terrified silence, leaves towards her kids just as Maria cautiously approaches my car. Her eyes drift between the Matheus and me with obvious curiosity, but I doubt she heard anything of our little talk. A thin sheen of perspiration makes Ms. Chan glow in the sunlight, but the jumpsuit keeps it from getting anymore erotic. That thin sheen seems to bother her enough to wipe her brow; it dawns on me that my perks might’ve made her workout a tad sweatier—and maybe a bit more… exhilarating—than it normally is. Quietly I scroll the Vita back to her options… and the blank cart. Frustrated, I tap cautiously as I keep it against my car door and out of Maria’s sight.

“Dave? What are you doing here?”

“Oh, well, I…” Silver Tongue, Dave, remember. “I was looking for any houses for sale around here, just to see… you know, live somewhere close to family.” Was that the best I could come up with? But at least it steers clear of me following Maria who, apparently, buys the lie.

“Oh! Wow, really? I didn’t think you’d ever… erm, that’s great!” She does her best to gracefully leave that insult behind. “I was freaked out thinking you were a stalker or something; I could swear you’ve been following me this whole time, but you were just looking at houses... God, I'm so embarrassed, sorry!”

A too-giddy, nervous laugh leaves me as we share a chuckle over the impossibility of exactly what I was doing. When did she notice?! Sure I was looking at the Vita half the time, but…

“Please just be more careful? Between you and me,” she whispers conspiratorially, making the far-off old lady lean deeper over her fence, “Ms. Matheu is really lawsuit-crazy. We don’t even have a homeowner’s association anymore thanks to her.”

“I’m… I think her and I have an understanding,” I smoothly offer as I tap at Maria’s options, “but forget all that: want to come over and have lunch with Alice and me?”

“Eh… I was going to have lunch with my family, to be honest.”

“Aw, all right. I’ll drive you back at least?”

Again she wipes her brow, a twitch of confusion on her brow as she answers, “Uhm… yeah! I mean, it's so hot out today... appreciated!”

“Anytime!” As she jogs around my car, I check the haphazard cart I’ve assembled. Incredibly, I think I manage to nab all the things from the last cart; even if I didn't, the build looks impressive.

MARIA CHAN:
Set to Ignore (Everyone, including her, ignores all her sexual or inappropriate interactions with or by User; toggable, but only witnesses with awareness turned on remember the ignored events while toggled off.)
Wet and Wild Periods (Instead of blood, she menstruates vaginal lubrication at thrice the volume she would during arousal.)
Hotkey: Advance Cycle (Unlimited hotkey to fast-forward to next phase of her menstrual cycle.)
Arousal Multiplier (All sources of arousal are twice as effective.)
Hotkey: Summon Custom Girl (Unlimited hotkey to have her try and reach you as fast as possible if she’s within one mile.)
TOTAL COST: 116 GEMS. OK? PURCHASED!

BOUNTY COMPLETE! 25 gems awarded.

As much as I love my voluptuous ladies, Maria wears her build damn well and I think I’m going to keep it that way. Now I just have to decide what to do with the features I have… and with the short car ride ahead, nothing would stop me from taking a little test run now. How much of my actions is she going to ignore though? Can I just... fingerbang her right here in my car, right now?
