After Carl left, the situation around the castle finally stabilized.

The few remaining monsters were quickly exterminated by Shin, and they began reorganizing. He spent the next few hours organizing everything inside the castle.

He made sure the injured girls received treatment, helped reinforce the defenses just in case another wave appeared, and distributed food and water from his storage ring.

Most of the girls looked completely exhausted. So Shin just released them to go to sleep. There was not much more to do.

Besides, Arlo and Lara were both still unconscious, resting in separate rooms while recovering from the battle against Gut.

And Shin himself was reaching his limit; he walked slowly to one of the enmity rooms. All he wanted. The moment he entered, he immediately collapsed onto the bed without even bothering to remove part of his equipment.

Outside the window, the sun had already disappeared beyond the horizon, leaving the castle covered in darkness illuminated only by moonlight and scattered torches.

The silence felt strangely peaceful after everything that had happened. For a few seconds, Shin simply lay there staring at the ceiling. But before he could sleep, a knor sounded.

Shin frowned slightly before forcing himself back up.

"Who now?"

Slowly walking toward the door, he opened it. And froze for a second.

Zoe stood there in the dimly lit corridor, her dark, smooth skin glowing softly under the warm light. The thin black lingerie she wore was barely hiding anything.

The sheer lace bra struggled hard to contain her big tits, the soft flesh spilling generously over the delicate cups. A tiny matching thong disappeared between her thick, juicy ass cheeks, while garter straps hugged her powerful thighs.

Her black cat ears twitched nervously atop her short hair, and her long tail flicked restlessly behind her, betraying her tension.

Zoe’s amber eyes avoided Shin’s gaze at first, her full lips slightly parted. A deep blush colored her cheeks as she stood there.

She bit her lower lip, then finally spoke, her voice soft and a little husky.

"Can... can I talk with you for a bit?"

Her tail curled shyly around her thick thigh as she waited, chest rising and falling with quick, nervous breaths that made her barely-covered breasts jiggle enticingly.

"Yes, feel free to get in," he said, opening the door wide.

She slowly marched into the room, giving Shin a vision of her perfect ass, molded by her lingerie. Naturally, the boy felt his cock react, but tried not to think about it.

First, I need to hear her, then I can think about sex... He thought to himself, then closed the door.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" he asked with a soft tone, sitting at her side.

She trembled. A small, almost imperceptible shake started in her shoulders and spread through her whole body. When she finally looked up, her amber eyes were weak.

"I... I was the one," she whispered, voice cracking. "The one Gut kept the longest."

Shin’s jaw tightened, but he said nothing. He let her speak.

"He captured me before the test began, and he..." her voice trembled. "He used me."

She said, looking down, her words sounding dismissive. She couldn’t speak about the things directly.

"He used me, Shin. Night after night." She trembled her eyes, getting enmity for an instant. Her hands clenched into fists, nails biting into her palms. "I can still feel his hands. His breath. I close my eyes, and I’m still there."

Her voice broke completely. A single tear escaped down her dark cheek, catching the moonlight.

Then, slowly, deliberately, her expression shifted.

The vulnerability didn’t disappear. It deepened, mingling with something else. Her eyes grew heavy-lidded, seductive, but the wetness still clung to her lashes. She turned her body toward him, her bare shoulder brushing his arm.

"You probably think I’m a slut," she murmured, her voice low and husky despite the tremor. "Showing up like this."

Before Shin could respond, she reached down. Her smaller hands found his. Gently, almost reverently, she guided them up to her chest, pressing his palms against her breasts.

"I know I can’t erase what happened," she whispered, holding his hands there. "All I want is to forget. Every touch he forced on me... I want to replace them with yours. Just for one night."

She leaned closer, her forehead almost touching his.

"I know I’m not enough. I know I’m damaged. But please, Shin..." Her voice dropped to a breath. "Help me erase him. Even if just for a few hours."

Shin didn’t pull away. His hands remained on her, feeling her heartbeat, her heat. He looked into her wet, apologetic, desperate eyes.

"So if you are interested in me, would you allow me to remain this night with you?" she said in a low whisper, her eyes begging for his attention.

"You are enough," he said quietly.

Shin looked into her tear-filled amber eyes for a long moment, his expression softening with both desire and genuine care. Without a word, he leaned in and captured her lips in a slow, gentle kiss.

It started soft and consoling. Zoe let out a shaky breath into the kiss, her body trembling as she melted against him. His hands stayed on her heavy breasts, gently squeezing and massaging the soft, overflowing flesh through the thin lace.

His thumbs brushed over her hardening nipples, drawing a soft, needy whimper from her throat.

"Let me take care of you tonight," he whispered, his hot breath sending a visible shiver down her spine. "Just focus on me."

Zoe’s breath hitched. Another tear slipped down her cheek, and her eyes were filled with desire and love.

"Please, make me forget everything that happened, let me be yours."

Shin’s hands moved with purpose. He reached behind her, unclasping the delicate lace bra. Her massive tits spilled free, heavy and perfect, dark nipples stiff in the cool night air.

He kissed her once more, then trailed his lips down her neck while his fingers continued working her breasts, pinching and rolling her sensitive peaks until her back arched and a low moan escaped her.

With smooth movements, he hooked his fingers into the waistband of her tiny thong and slowly slid it down her thick thighs, letting it drop to the floor.

Shin pulled her gently onto his lap, facing him, her thick ass resting on his thighs as he kissed her again, deeper this time, while his hands roamed over her bare skin.

"You’re beautiful, Zoe," he murmured against her lips. "And tonight... you’re mine."
