Yeah. That power. That secret, slow-building storm licking at the edges of my soul—it was always there. I’d honed it without even realizing, tuning it like a forbidden instrument each time I kissed and lapped between her thighs, each time I suckled at the tips of her breasts until her nipples pulsed against my tongue, stiff and helpless.
I wanted my mother. That wasn’t some phase or fantasy. It was obsession spun through bone and blood, and I believed, down to the marrow, that I could claim her. I only needed time, and patience. And a little luck.
Fate? She smiled on me in the dirtiest way.
[Isabella Eindoral] Love Gauge: [25%] 🩷
The gauge didn’t lie. A visual chart of how far I’d twisted her affections—one pixel at a time. It began innocent, maternal, unshakeable. That first 90% was what any devoted mother might give her son. Unconditional. Pure.
But something strange happened at the threshold. Past 100%, the counter didn’t explode. It circled back. Restarted. A new gauge, with a single pink heart beside her gauge. That heart wasn’t there before.
🩷 It glowed soft, yet obscene.
That heart meant her love had bifurcated. Split. Some new part of her soul had branched off from that safe maternal devotion—and now walked a darker path. A path toward true love. Not mother to child... no, this gauge tracked something raw. Personal. Intimate. Taboo.
