Chapter 176: Just the Two of Us (3)

Chapter 176 – Just the Two of Us (3)

‘Why are you stopping?’

Was she implying that she wanted me to touch her more? I thought she would hate that, but I guess I guess not, huh?

Honestly, I believed that we both wanted this.

Of course I wasn’t only talking about touching each other’s bellies.

“Umm… Can I?”

Can I really? At my question, Umi just nodded her head.

“U-Um… I-If you insist, I-I won’t mind? I-I mean, we’re the only ones here and wouldn’t it be bad if you had to hold it in all day long?”

“I-I guess…”

Honestly, I’ve been wanting to do something a little dirty with Umi. Our morning kiss earlier today just made that desire burn even hotter.

I had been holding back because there wasn’t a good place for it, but now we were alone and she gave me the okay, so it was hard for me to keep my desires in check.

Besides, if I were to back down now, it would be rude to her. She resolved herself to do this, so I had to respond to her properly.

Now it was my turn to take the lead from her.

“Umi.”

“…Yes?”

“I want to keep going… May I?”

“Hehe, what a hopeless guy. Well, for my beloved boyfriend, sure, go ahead. I’ll leave everything to you, okay?”

“I won’t hold back… Are you okay with that?”

“Do I really need to answer that?”

After that, she showed me a seductive smile as she opened her arms wide.

“Come closer.”

“…Mm.”

I responded in kind as I hugged and enjoyed the sensation of her body thoroughly.

Her body looked slender, but it was soft to the touch. Her belly, back and thighs felt smooth like silk.

“Hehe, Maki, I know that I said you’re free to touch me wherever you like, but you really are going all out, huh?~”

“I’m just in the mood right now… I want to kiss you so badly, can I?”

“Of course. Hehe, you’re always asking for my permission. You know, sometimes it gets annoying when you do that, but at the same time that’s what’s so cute about you.”

I pulled my body away slightly before pushing my lips against her pouting lips.

Not long ago, we got to the point where we would kiss each other as a greeting and recently we managed to take a step further than that. Our kisses were tame compared to the ones they showed in movies or dramas, but at least they were better than when we first started dating.

“Umi, may I?”

I asked Umi as I stroked her sides. This was me trying to be gentle, but I guess that excuse seemed unconvincing seeing how my hands were trembling from my nervousness.

This wasn’t our first time doing something like this, but the past cases were incomparable to this. Back then, we were just messing around like usual, but this time, we were about to take a step further.

Umi nodded slightly. I could hear her ragged breathing and saw the red on her face down to her nape.

When I saw this, my nervousness eased up. She felt the same as I did, huh?

“Alright, here I go.”

Slowly, I brought my right hand up to her chest. Her chest wasn’t unfamiliar to me. This wasn’t the first time I let my hand run wild, but even then I couldn’t help but appreciate how big and soft they were.

“Hehe, what a bad boy~ What will mom and brother say if they see you doing something like this to me out in the open, hm?~”

“Who knows… Maybe they’ll kill me and turn me into fertilizer for the garden in your house.”

“Well, we just have to keep this a secret, then~”

“Mhm. A secret for the two of us.”

Just the two of us. Secret.

Those words made this situation feel even sweeter, yet also more immoral.

What we were doing was normal for lovers, but I couldn’t help but think that we were doing something bad.

“Maki, don’t you think it’s getting hotter out here?”

“Mhm. I feel a bit light-headed.”

“Do you want to rest for a while?”

“No, I’ll be fine. Let’s stay like this for a while longer.”

“Hehe, alright.”

It was supposed to be cold, but both Umi and I felt unnaturally hot.

I already forgot about our original objective of exploring the surroundings, because I couldn’t think of anything else but Umi.

More. I wanted to kiss her more. I wanted to touch her more.

…No good. If this keeps up…

At this rate, we would really cross that line here. I knew I went on about how it would be too much for us to have our first time outdoors, but I already stopped caring about that sentiment at this point.

Luckily, I brought some countermeasures with me for this exact situation. No, wait, we really should find a better place first… Like in the inn’s room? But Riku-san was there…

“…It’s fine, Maki.”

“Huh?”

“Y-You know… I-I’m fine, just do it…”

Once again, my heart jumped when she whispered that in my ear.

What did she mean by that? Am I really still asking such a dumb question at this stage?

In any case, she gave me the okay, so there was only one thing left for me to do.

“Umi…”

“Mm…”

I took off the shirt that I was wearing and placed it on a nearby bench before letting Umi lay down on it.

As I moved my hand toward Umi’s dress while trying to calm my heart down–

Rustle rustle!

““?!””

We suddenly heard something moving from behind the grass and that made us jump to our feet.

That brought us back to reality.

“Maki, just now…”

“Hide behind me, Umi.”

My excitement gradually started to die down. I hid Umi behind my back as I stared at the direction of the sound.

The ‘watch out for wild animals’ sign came to my mind, could it be?

Rustle rustle!

“M-Maki, it’s getting closer!”

“Hold on to me, Umi.”

“Y-Yes!”

I kept my eyes locked toward the direction where the voice came from. My priority was to protect Umi at all costs. Gradually, the sound got closer and closer, and then…

“I’m scared! It’s so dark here! Big brother, big sister, where am I?”

“…Oh my.”

“A kid?”

A little boy, probably about three years old appeared in front of us.
