Chapter 106 - Never Be The Same
Karl stood behind the cash register, his gaze blank as he stared at the monitor screen reflecting his tired face. His shift had just started, and across the store, Zoey was busy arranging drinks on the refrigerated shelves. Her ponytail swayed slightly with each movement, and the store’s uniform, snug against her figure, accentuated her curves perfectly.
"Zoey..."
Karl swallowed hard. Memories of that day crept back into his mind—how he had used his ability to manipulate Zoey. The softness of her lips whe she touch his cock, her saliva, her sloppy face, and the confusion in her eyes when it was all over. The memory made his heart race, a warm sensation spreading through his chest.
"Damn it... focus, Karl. Focus!"
He shifted his gaze to the stacks of cigarettes behind the glass display, but Zoey’s image lingered in his mind. Her cheap perfume drifted faintly through the air, making it harder for him to concentrate.
"Why am I thinking about this now? I thought I was just past. But... that feeling—I can’t forget it, almost as if I could taste it again."
Karl took a deep breath, trying to steady himself. His eyes flicked back to Zoey, who was now crouched down to organize drinks on the lower shelf. Her back was facing him, and the way her skirt slightly lifted revealed the smooth skin of her thighs.
"Stop it, Karl. This is wrong. Don’t let these thoughts control you."
He quickly turned his face away, his grip tightening on the edge of the counter as he tried to channel his frustration into his clenched fists.
Zoey stood up and turned to Karl with a small smile.
"Hey Karl, can you help me carry some drink boxes from the storage? They’re pretty heavy."
