Chapter 7 – Meet the Author MILF
The system pinged as soon as Ethan stepped into the bookstore.
[New Target Identified: MILF Type Romantic Idealist]

Kinks Detected: Praise kink, delayed gratification, slow seduction
Ethan's eyes locked onto the elegant woman in the poetry section. Wavy auburn hair framed her glasses, and a cream cardigan hugged her curves. Her fingers trailed gently over the spines of the books like each one was a lover waiting to be discovered.
She looked soft. Dreamy. Dangerous.
Mrs. Haynes turned slightly, catching Ethan watching her.
"Looking for something specific?" she asked, her voice soft, melodious.
Ethan cleared his throat, stepping closer. "Romance recommendations. Something… steamy, maybe?" He let the word linger, his Sweet Tongue passive automatically adjusting his tone to a slow, syrupy tease.
She blinked, taken aback, a light pink brushing her cheeks.

"Well… if you want something with substance and heat," she said, "perhaps something by.." She hesitated. "by me?"
Ethan pretended surprise. "Wait, you're S.L. Haynes?" He pulled a copy from the shelf. Midnight Passion: A Widow's Desire.
He opened it, flipping through pages, then grinned. "'Her lips trembled as his fingers traced the seam of her desire…'" He looked up, locking eyes with her.
Her lips parted slightly. "That's… one of the more intense chapters."

"I like the way you write," Ethan said, voice deepening. "You don't just describe sex. You feel it. Every breath, every hesitation. Makes me wonder… if you write from experience."
Mrs. Haynes looked flustered, yet intrigued. "I…I write from imagination," she said. But her voice trembled. "Mostly."
Ethan stepped closer, lowering his voice. "Maybe you just need better… inspiration."
Her blush deepened to crimson.

Mrs. Haynes pressed a hand to her chest. "You're quite the charmer."
"I'm just being honest."
She took a slow breath, regaining composure. "Would you… be interested in helping me? I'm working on a new manuscript. It needs… a male perspective."
"Oh? What kind of perspective?"
She smiled coyly. "A young man helping an older woman find her passion again."

Ethan's pulse quickened.
Mrs. Haynes handed him a small, cream-colored card. "Here's my address. Tomorrow evening. If you're comfortable."
She turned and walked away slowly, her hips swaying like a deliberate temptation wrapped in a librarian's poise.
As she disappeared around the corner, the system chimed again.
[Target Status: Aroused Curiosity – High Potential]
Advice: Slow burn approach recommended. Feed her fantasies. Become her muse.
Ethan left the bookstore with a grin. This MILF wasn't like Mrs. Carter, raw and dominant. Mrs. Haynes wanted to feel, to build tension until it ached. And he was going to master that.
Tomorrow night, he wouldn't just read her story.
He'd become it
