Testing the Rookie

The concrete walls of the R.P.D. firing range echoed with a sharp crack as a single 9mm round tore down the lane, punching a hole slightly wide of the bullseye.

Leon exhaled slowly, trying to steady his breathing. His arms were locked out straight, holding the customized Samurai Edge. It was a finely crafted piece of machinery, Jill’s personal S.T.A.R.S. weapon, and the weight of it usually brought an instant sense of focus.

Not today.

Jill stood remarkably close behind him, her presence disrupting his usual concentration. She leaned in, her chin resting near his shoulder as her striking blue-green eyes tracked his target, deliberately testing the new rookie's focus under pressure.

"Your stance is rigid, Kennedy,"

Jill murmured, her voice carrying a teasing undertone that challenged his composure. She slid her gloved left hand down past his hip, deliberately resting it directly over his crotch. Her fingers gently cupped and squeezed him through his denim jeans, intentionally shifting his balance just as he aligned his sight.

Focus, Leon thought, his jaw tightening as he tried to realign the weapon. Just focus on the front sight post. He tried to steady his grip, but her proximity and the deliberate distraction made it difficult to maintain his professional distance.

Jill observed the sudden, sharp tremor in his forearms with amusement. He was trying so hard to maintain protocol, determined to ignore the disruption. She found the rookie's rigid professionalism intriguing, testing his focus under pressure as an entertaining challenge.

"A S.T.A.R.S. weapon requires a steady hand,"

she added softly, stepping closer to ensure he remained completely off-balance while maintaining her stance.

"Jill,"

Leon muttered, his voice tight as he attempted to block out the overwhelming distraction.

"I'm trying to complete the drill."

"Then take the shot, rookie,"

she replied quietly, watching his eyes struggle to stay on the target.

"Let's see how you perform under stress."

Leon swallowed hard, his knuckles white against the grip of the Samurai Edge. He squeezed the trigger.

The gun erupted, but his focus was completely shattered. The round went completely wide, clipping the outer edge of the paper target.

Jill let out a soft, satisfied hum against his neck, her gloved fingers giving him one final, deliberate squeeze before slowly pulling her hand back.

"Room for improvement, rookie,"

she whispered, her blue-green eyes flashing with pure amusement as she stepped back into the shadows of the range.

"But I like a man who stays determined under pressure."

Created using Daz Studio 4.22. Planned out the scene and poses in a few days. Still learning DAZ Studio after over a years of use. 10000 Iterations. Duration of renders was around 1.5 hours average in Nvidia Iray with a 9950X3D and RTX 4090, that's due a medium Fog Atmosphere being used which take up GPU resources. Added Bloom for the highlights.

Post work was adding the watermark.

No AI involved, just a lot of hours sitting on my backside making this render.
