Unable to resist any longer, Evelise slipped a hand beneath the waistband of her new panties. Her fingers brushed against her slick folds, and she gasped softly at the contact. She was already so wet, so ready for Sid’s touch. But she didn’t want to let Sid know how much she wanted him, and she had only her own hand to satisfy the burning desire that consumed her.

She began to move her fingers in slow circles around her clit, imagining it was Sid touching her instead. Her hips lifted off the bed as she pleasured herself, a soft moan escaping her lips.

Meanwhile, in the living room, Sid could no longer ignore the throbbing ache in his groin too. With a frustrated groan, he pushed down his shorts and underwear, freeing his hardening length. Its prang up, already slick with precum at the tip.

As he wrapped his hand around his shaft, Sid closed his eyes and let the memories of Evelise flood his mind. He recalled the softness of her breasts, the way they filled his palms perfectly. The tight warmth of her pussy as he’d penetrated her with his finger. The way her ass had jiggled with each slap.

His hand moved faster, pumping along his length as he imagined it was Evelise’s tight hole gripping him instead. He pictured burying himself deep inside her, feeling her walls clench around him as he filled her completely.

Sid’s breathing grew heavier, his hips thrusting into his fist as he chased his release.

Evelise’s fingers moved faster, plunging deeper into her slick channel as she imagined Sid’s thick cock filling her instead. Her other hand crept up to her chest, squeezing and kneading her breast through the thin fabric of her shirt. She pinched her nipple hard, biting back a cry as a jolt of pleasure shot through her.

In the living room, Sid’s hand flew over his shaft, his grip tightening as he felt his orgasm building. He bit his lip to stifle a moan, not wanting Evelise to hear him. His free hand reached down to cup his balls, rolling them gently as he stroked himself closer and closer to the edge.

Both of them were lost in their own worlds of pleasure, their soft moans and gasps filling the air. Neither knew the other was doing the same thing just a room away, each believing themselves alone in their private moments of release.

Sid’s hand moved faster, his grip slick with spit as he stroked himself to the brink. He could feel his orgasm approaching, his balls tightening and his shaft throbbing in his fist. With a final, desperate thrust, he spilled over the edge, his hot cum shooting out in thick ropes across his stomach and chest.

"F*ck, I needed that."

In the bedroom, Evelise humped the pillow furiously, her hips bucking against it as she chased her own release. Her tail waved wildly behind her, slapping against the bed with each thrust. She buried her face in the pillow to muffle her cries as she came undone, her pussy convulsing around her fingers as wave after wave of pleasure washed over her.

"Ughh... Sid..."

She whispered breathlessly, his name slipping past her lips unbidden as she rode out the aftermath of her orgasm. With their desires sated for the moment, both Evelise and Sid drifted off to sleep, exhausted but content.

When dawn came, the faint sound of running water broke the silence. Sid stirred and rubbed his eyes, blinking against the soft morning light filtering through the window where the curtains were long gone. He stretched with a low groan, his joints popping from a night spent on the hard floor, then followed the sound outside, curiosity tugging at him.

There, near the small pump beside the cabin, Evelise was already at work. She wore the sun cloak Sid had made for her, the hood draped loosely over her head. Her sleeves were rolled up, and her hands moved briskly as she scrubbed a pile of old clothes against a flat rock. Dozens of garments hung on makeshift lines strung between the trees, swaying gently in the morning breeze. Soap bubbles shimmered in the sunlight, and the faint scent of detergent carried through the cool air. Sid blinked in disbelief.

"Well... I’ll be damned."

For once, Evelise wasn’t yelling or giving orders — she was working. Watching her like that, calm and quiet, almost felt strange. He leaned against the doorway, still half asleep, a faint smile tugging at his lips.

"Didn’t think I’d see this day. Evelise, doing chores..."

Evelise’s ears twitched sharply. Without looking up, she said flatly,

"I can hear you, idiot. Stop hiding back there like some creep and help me already."

Sid straightened, caught off guard.

"Wha—hey, I wasn’t hiding! I was just... admiring the progress."

"Admire faster,"

Evelise snapped, flicking water toward him without turning around.

"We’ve got a mountain of laundry, and these lines won’t hang themselves."

Sid sighed dramatically and stepped closer, shaking his head with a grin.

"Fine, fine. Guess I’ll lend a hand. But I’m warning you, I’m not exactly laundry certified."

The faint sound of the system chimed through the air:

[SYSTEM MESSAGE!]

[New Task Acquired!]

[Task 4: The Scent of Cleanliness]

[Objective: Help Evelise wash the used clothes and linens to keep the home clean and fresh.]

Sid groaned, rolling his eyes.

"Of course it’s a quest. Even housework’s a quest now."

Evelise smirked faintly, still focused on scrubbing.

"Then stop complaining and get to it, partner."

He chuckled and crouched beside her, splashing his hands into the soapy water. For a moment, neither spoke — only the sound of water, laughter, and the occasional splash broke the quiet morning air. The cabin smelled of soap and sunshine.

By midday, they had finally finished scrubbing the last of the clothes. The air smelled faintly of soap and wet fabric. Rows of freshly washed shirts, sheets, and rags hung between the trees, fluttering gently in the warm breeze. Sid wiped the sweat from his brow with the back of his hand.

"Man... who knew laundry could feel like a full-body workout?"
