RISE OF EROS

The next morning Andrew got up early as usual. Next to him, he could see Carolina curled up on his chest like a cat looking for warmth. Andrew smiled when he saw her and after noticing that they were still naked, he decided to get out of bed or he would have to fuck Carolina on the spot.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but the night before he had agreed with Carolina that they wouldn't have any activities in the morning, since she had several important tasks to do and Carolina didn't want to be tired.

Knowing that Carolina could be quite extreme in retaliating against him for breaking his promises, Andrew didn't dare bother her, so he kissed her on the forehead as he got out of bed and without any further movement left the bed and the room after dressing.

When Andrew left the room, Carolina's eyes widened mischievously. She was awake, but she pretended to sleep because she wanted to see if Andrew would keep his promise to her.

She really thought that Andrew would break his promise, because whenever it came to something related to affection or sex, Andrew couldn't contain himself, that was one of the reasons why she had adopted a cold attitude when they worked before because Andrew kept bugging her at the office.

Carolina didn't mind showing signs of affection at the office or having sex in the morning, what bothered her was that Andrew promised her something and then broke it, so she was happy that this time Andrew held back because she had noticed that his cock was as stiff as it could be.

Praying that Andrew's erection would not last long, Carolina got up, got ready, and began her activities, since today was a strenuous day for her. Thanks to the fact that the business was progressing and generating good profits, Carolina decided to speed up the remodeling process of the Heavenly Palace and that is why she was so busy.

Then again, Andrew wasn't as busy as she was. He practically only reviewed the accounting books and was unemployed. Well, he was also the producer of vitality drinks, birth control pills, and rejuvenating creams, but since he was all made with the synthesis skill, he didn't really spend much time on it.

Although he certainly spent energy using the synthesis skill, it wasn't too much. He still remembered that before any of his abilities were very limited, as they exhausted him tremendously, but now that his level had reached level 40, he had plenty of energy to use the abilities at his disposal.

Make no mistake, it wasn't that Andrew now had a lot of energy to spend, but rather that the skills he had learned from the system were weak or at a low level and so the energy he had was more than enough not to worry.

Andrew had done the accounts and produced the products for sale before 10:00 am, so he was now bored. He could use the time to "Train" the courtesans, but for some reason, he didn't want to do that either.

It wasn't that he didn't like his courtesans, but he had amused himself with them for so long and in different ways, that he no longer felt the same emotion. Noticing that Andrew quickly called Fluffy.

"Will I lose my desire and excitement about Carolina over time?" Andrew asked a little anxiously. Noticing that he had lost the excitement of playing with his courtesans, he thought that the same thing would happen with Carolina and that worried him.

Fluffy looked at his eager master and smiled, as he said, "Master, that's not going to happen." Despite Fluffy's affirmation, Andrew would not calm down and ask, "Why not?"

Fluffy shook his head at seeing his master's behavior, but he still answered. "That's simple, Carolina is your wife. She is your wife because you love her and she loves you, that's why she received the seal of love. The master must understand, for a god of Eros, the seal of love means eternal love".

Listening to Fluffy's explanation, Andrew immediately understood. He could lose passion and enthusiasm towards any woman over time, but towards his wives that would be impossible. In fact, according to Fluffy, affection, love, and passion will only increase.

Having cleared up that subject, Andrew relaxed. He was really scared that he would eventually lose interest in Carolina. Seeing that it was still early and he had nothing to do, he decided to go for a walk.

As the main guard, Oliver accompanied him. Since the Debos incident, Carolina and Andrew could not leave the Heavenly Palace without protection. Andrew did not have a specific destination, he just wandered the streets of the red-light district.

Since it was not even lunchtime yet, the streets of the red-light district were empty. To be more exact, there were no customers because there was movement.

At this time, the establishments in this area took the opportunity to stock up on the different products that each business needed to carry out its activities at night.

The Heavenly Palace was the same. At this time it was when they received food and liquor for sale and the other establishments did the same. In the red light district, you could not only find brothels and pleasure houses but there were also many casinos and establishments that focused on entertainment.

The only difference was that the entertainment provided in the red-light district had a more adult focus. Andrew had arrived at this place several months ago, however, he did not know his surroundings properly, so he took advantage of this outing to check his neighbors and competitors.

The region where the Heavenly Palace was located was surrounded by some brothels and casinos, but being objective, none seemed to be better than the Heavenly Palace, Andrew believed so and it was not because it was his establishment, but seeing the other's business from outside, he came to that conclusion.

He walked for about five blocks around the Heavenly Palace and concluded that his business was the most representative and relevant business in the sector. He also wanted to see where the thugs' businesses were in the area and honestly, it wasn't hard to find them.

Debos's casino had closed after his death. His men fought for the right to own that business and in the end, they ended up destroying each other and with no one to take over the casino, it perished.

The other four establishments were a casino, two pleasure houses, and what appeared to be a bar. While it was true that these four businesses had stores much larger than the Heavenly Palace, Andrew thought that was the only thing they were bettered at.

He had no justification for thinking that, perhaps it was his own perception, but it made him feel good to know that the supposed owners of the area were surpassed by him in less than a year, of course, that was his perception, the reality could be different.

After a couple of hours of walking around the place, he decided to return, since lunchtime was approaching and he was starting to get hungry. On his way back he came across an unusual situation.

At least it was unusual for him, but the reality was that it was far from it. In the red light district, these scenes occurred almost daily, except he didn't go out much, so he had never faced them.

It looked like some kind of auction. One of the nearby pleasure houses had apparently closed its doors and wanting to earn some money, the owner was auctioning off his courtesans.

It was nothing elaborate, at the entrance of the small house of pleasure a middle-aged man presented his courtesans to the small crowd that agglomerated making their offers.

Curious Andrew approached the place. There were only five women left to auction. Honestly, he did not like the event, but he had already gotten used to the common sense of this world to some extent.

The auctioned women weren't the prettiest, in fact, none of them were half as attractive when compared to the courtesans of the Heavenly Palace, so Andrew lost interest and was about to leave when the last girl was introduced.

It was a woman in her late 30s, maybe her 40s, but age didn't reflect on her. However, Andrew guessed her age because the lady's body showed these signs. Her face, despite still retaining her beauty, had lost its youthful charm, but her caramel-colored skin was somewhat exotic.

Her curves were prominent, her breasts were large, but they seemed unaffected by gravity, her ass was voluptuous, although firm, and despite having a little fat accumulated on her abdomen, she was not fat.

Andrew saw the lady and began to appraise her with his Eros's eyes and was surprised to learn that the system ranked her as a normal beauty with a score of 693 and among her specialties was "Knowledge of Pleasure".

Seeing this specialty, Andrew immediately entered the bid, because that woman was perfect to be the matron of the Heavenly Palace and he wanted her at all costs. "10 small gold coins," Andrew bid, almost doubling the previous offer.

Everyone present was surprised at the high offer and Andrew was happy thinking that he had won the auction but at that moment a robust man with a dangerous look bid, "11 small gold coins".

Andrew looked at his competitor and immediately concluded that the man was up to no good. He had the appearance of a bandit and even glared at Andrew as if telling him to back off or he'd be in trouble.

However, when Andrew evaluated him with Eros's eyes, noticing that his aura was not as powerful as Oliver's, so without fear, he bid again, "15 small gold coins".

Seeing that Andrew was not going to retire, the man withdrew from the competition, but Andrew and Oliver realized that he had not left, but instead hid in an alley as if waiting to ambush them.

Noticing that, Andrew paid no attention, but Oliver as Andrew's bodyguard took note of the man and prepared for the battle. He was sure the man would cause them trouble later.

Andrew won the bid and after paying, the girl went with him. The woman only bowed slightly to him in homage to her new patron, but she said nothing. Her expression did not reflect any emotion either and Andrew did not bother to talk to her, he decided to talk to her when they arrived at the Heavenly Palace.
