Chapter 168: First Kiss
He had heard that applying saliva to the ear canal could prevent water from getting in, though he wasn't sure if there was any scientific basis for it.
Still, Kaoru Mitoma found the girl unexpectedly bold.
From any angle, licking someone's ear was quite an intimate act.
"I didn't expect Ichinose to be such a pervert" Kaoru Mitoma touched his ear, which still felt warm and wet from her saliva.
"H-Haha… I-I'm not a pervert! This helps reduce water pressure… it's just a method…"
As she spoke, Honami Ichinose herself didn't quite know what she was saying.
Her cheeks burned as if they were about to steam and the more he stared at her, the more embarrassed she felt.
However, Honami Ichinose soon noticed something else.
"By the way, you've always been calling me by my last name. It feels so distant, even though we're boyfriend and girlfriend now!"
"You're the strange one, getting into it so quickly. Who starts calling someone by their first name the very next day?"
"B-Because at the time, you seemed really off with Horikita-san!"
"So, you thought I was cheating on you?"
"Wait, you weren't?"
"..."
Kaoru Mitoma fell silent, while Honami Ichinose looked at him curiously.
"I always thought you had something going on with Kamuro-san, Sakayanagi-san and Horikita-san. Plus, Tachibana-senpai acted differently around you too."
Finally, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Hehehe, sounds like I have a lot of rivals to be jealous of."
"That's why I made you my girlfriend for a semester."
"Even though that's kind of infuriating to hear, honestly, I didn't really mind" Honami Ichinose said softly.
"On the contrary, I'm a bit curious how you managed it?"
Could it be that, just like with her, Kaoru Mitoma had used some underhanded tactics on them too?
"The books say it's best not to talk about other women in front of your girlfriend" Kaoru Mitoma pinched her cheek lightly, finding the texture quite nice.
"Does the book say that you should listen to your girlfriend more at times like this?"
"Honami-chan."
"W-what?"
Hearing him suddenly call her first name, Honami Ichinose was startled.
Looking into his eyes, she suddenly realized her current situation and her cheeks flushed with a blush.
"One more round. We can't let Honami-chan's efforts go to waste," Kaoru Mitoma said matter-of-factly.
"T-this is so embarrassing. Don't talk about that," Honami Ichinose wanted to cover her face, regretting her earlier actions.
However, even regret was useless.
As Kaoru Mitoma began the countdown, she had no choice but to dive into the water with him.
The gurgling sound of water reverberated in her ears and the clear swimming pool stretched out before her.
Even in such a situation, Honami Ichinose remained composed.
She stared intently at Kaoru Mitoma in the water.
Faced with the instinctive desire to survive, it was inevitable that some reactions rarely seen in daily life would surface.
At this moment, she caught a glimpse of a different side of Kaoru Mitoma.
It was precisely because of this that Honami Ichinose could sense the emotions deep within Kaoru Mitoma's heart.
He seemed afraid, but not of drowning.
It was as if he was terrified of being unable to escape from somewhere.
How strange, but he didn't seem like he was about to drown as he had earlier.
Thinking this, Honami Ichinose reached out her hand toward him, just as she had done several times before, intending to grab him.
Seeming to realize that he had touched the girl's fingertips again, Kaoru Mitoma suddenly flipped his hand and grabbed at the hand she had extended.
Honami Ichinose was slightly startled and hurriedly tried to pull her hand back, but Kaoru Mitoma persisted relentlessly and the distance between them kept closing.
Seeing this, she didn't hesitate to flee.
After all, Kaoru Mitoma couldn't see her.
She just needed to dodge to the side.
Just as this thought crossed her mind, Honami Ichinose suddenly felt someone grab her calf.
Before she could think, the other person closed in even more.
In an instant, Honami Ichinose's face turned bright red.
Kaoru Mitoma was moving up along her calf, his hands climbing like a rock climber—first her calf, then her knee and finally reaching her thigh.
Reacting instinctively, the girl immediately clenched her legs tightly, which inadvertently caused her to also clamp Kaoru Mitoma neck between them.
Good news: she had locked Kaoru Mitoma in place.
Bad news: Kaoru Mitoma was buried between her legs.
Gurgle——
A burst of bubbles tickled the inside of her thigh, as if an electric current surged from her pubic bone, coursing through Honami Ichinose's entire body.
She bit her lip hard, acutely aware of Kaoru Mitoma's movements against her sensitive areas and his desperate struggles to break free.
'How could this pervert do this?' Honami thought, both ashamed and annoyed.
However, she also knew that if this continued, Kaoru might actually die suffocate by her.
The moment the girl loosened her legs, Kaoru seized the opportunity to scramble upwards, instinctively using her as a handhold.
He scaled her plump rounded butt, her slender waist and finally reached her towering breasts, only to be met with a firm resistance.
"Haa... haa..."
Almost simultaneously, both of them broke the surface of the water.
"That was bad... I almost thought I was going to die again" Kaoru gasped, his heart pounding wildly.
Honami was also panting, her fair face flushed crimson, the delicate pink extending down her pale neck.
"I'm sorry... I panicked just now..."
"I'm the one who should be panicking."
"I... I understand, but your grip, Kaoru... could you ease up a little? It hurts a bit."
Mitoma looked down and saw that he was clutching her "breast," his fingers practically buried deep within.
A girl breasts are called "soft mounds" for a reason, the unique softness is astonishing.
They feel tender and yielding in the palm of your hand and you can feel the slight pressure and elasticity under your fingertips, slowly kneading them into your desired shape.
It's as if no matter how much you play with them, they retain their original warmth and fullness.
Looking at Honami's expression, she was trying her best to appear nonchalant.
"It feels like they're still developing," Mitoma said, relaxing his grip but continuing to fondle her breast.
"Do you... do you like girls with big breasts, Kaoru?" Honami trembled slightly, a sweet murmur escaping her lips.
She never imagined that she would be played with by a man like this and that it would feel... good.
"I like you, no matter what" Mitoma's fingers gently shifted.
Apart from her swimsuit, the girl had no other protection, making it easy to pinch and tease a little.
"More of your sly words... is that from a book too?" Honami glanced furtively around, feeling nervous.
"T-This is so lewd."
"This is payback for earlier. Besides, I caught you, so it's my turn to enjoy myself."
"I-I caught you a few times too!"
"In that case, how about I give you a reward?"
With that, Mitoma suddenly lowered his head and kissed the girl lips.
In that instant, Honami's eyes widened.
She was being kissed by a man? Could this be her first kiss?
It wasn't just a kiss, Mitoma was still playing with her breast, their breaths mingling, hot and sticky.
"The reward ends here" Mitoma said, releasing her and gazing at her with a smile.
"You worked hard tonight too, Honami-chan."
Honami stared blankly at him, her lips slightly parted.
Pretending to be his girlfriend, trying her best to play house with him, smiling, caring, making him happy, desperately trying to make him infatuated with her, even resorting to using her feminine charms.
"I should be the one rewarding you, Kaoru" Honami said, cupping Mitoma face in her hands and gently kissing him again.
"Don't forget, it's my turn now, waaa..."
He had slipped his tongue inside her mouth.
What was he doing?
In that instant, Honami mind seemed to melt, but the remnants of her reason kept reminding her.
Masumi Kamuro, Arisu Sakayanagi, Suzune Horikita, Akane Tachibana, Mako Amikura...
There were only twenty-four hours in a day.
The more time she occupied, the less time others would have.
It was simple logic.
It wasn't even jealousy, just normal girlfriend behavior.
She needed to possess him more, to possess him completely, no matter what it took...
