Chapter 490: The Aftermath
Chapter 490: The Aftermath
“Whew. There, all done, Guwon. Why don’t you get in the tub first? I’ll wash up and join you.”
After that, she finished washing the rest of my body without incident. Leia spoke as she rinsed the soap suds from my skin with warm water.
“No. I can’t be the only one getting pampered like this. I’ll wash you too, Leia.”
Granted, I could only use one hand, thanks to Sara.
“No, it’s fine. You’ve been through so much, Guwon. Please, get in the tub and relax. You need to wash away your exhaustion.”
“What are you talking about? You all had it just as rough. Searching for me… you know, when I got back, you guys looked even more worn out than I did.”
“And…”
When I said that, Leia’s brow furrowed slightly, her smile a mixture of happiness and unease.
“Because if you wash me, I think I might… get a little… heated up, too…”
“Ah, yeah…”
Leia… She said ‘me too’…
That meant she knew Sara and Diana were getting all hot and bothered.
Thank you so much for not saying anything. She’s a true angel…
“Come on, Sara. Let’s go in first.”
“Ngh…!”
I moved the hand resting on Sara’s head, patting her gently. She flinched, a shiver running through her, before slowly getting to her feet.
Then she glared at me, the corners of her eyes glistening with tears.
“Idiot… Don’t take your hand away…”
…You can’t even handle this much?
Seriously, isn’t this a bit much?
In any case, I accepted Leia’s kind offer, and Sara and I decided to get into the tub first.
Diana was already there, having gotten in by herself. She was submerged up to her nose, blowing a steady stream of bubbles.
“Blub… Blub…”
…What are you, a kid?
That was my first thought, but on closer inspection, it didn’t seem like Diana was just playing around. She appeared to be taking deep breaths.
As if she were desperately trying to calm her aroused body.
And it seemed she was blowing those bubbles to hide the fact that she was taking deep breaths.
As we drew near, Diana flinched and tensed up, taking a defensive posture.
Well, I couldn’t see her clearly underwater, since the bathwater was a milky, opaque color—it might not have been just water.
But I could tell she was on guard for some reason.
She seemed to be on high alert because of what happened earlier.
Hmm… this isn’t good.
The truth was, I had a specific goal for this bath.
To finish it safely, without any incidents.
That was part of the reason I’d desperately held back when Leia was washing me earlier.
And the reason I set such a goal was simple.
If we could just get through this one bath together without incident, the probability of this happening again would skyrocket.
If I can keep stacking up these opportunities, bathing together every single time won’t be just a dream!
That was the plan… but after what just happened, it kind of felt like I’d already waded halfway across the Rubicon… No. Like they say, the game’s over the moment you give up.
I’ll just have to do what I can for now.
“Diana. Come here.”
First, I needed to make Diana understand that I wouldn’t do anything to her, even if she came close.
I lightly beckoned to Diana, who was on guard on the opposite side of the tub.
“…Blub!”
At my gesture, Diana hesitated for a moment, then shot to her feet in the tub.
And began striding purposefully toward me…
“Hgyak!”
Splash!
…Her clumsiness never fails to show up, even at times like this.
Luckily, since she was in the tub, she popped right back up as if nothing had happened and resumed her walk toward me.
I’m sure the blush on her face wasn’t just from the hot water or from being aroused earlier. What a cute girl.
Anyway, with a single gesture from me, Diana strode right up in front of me.
Honestly, I thought she’d just stay on guard and not come over.
“Huuuup!”
After taking a deep breath, Diana plopped down on my lap.
Just like when I had pulled her into my arms and sat her between my legs earlier.
If there was a difference from before, it was that this time, Diana was straddling the shaft of my erection.
What… what in the world is she thinking?
I thought she was on guard after what happened. Don’t tell me she’s still lost her composure?
While I was too surprised to move, she pushed her hips back, pressing them flush against my lower abdomen.
Then, she clamped her thighs together, firmly pinning my erection, which was pressed against her, running up toward her stomach.
“H-Hmph!”
Then she looked up at me with a ‘How do you like that?’ expression.
I mean, even with that look on your face…
Is her plan to stop me from moving freely?
But this is having the opposite effect. Being wrapped in her soft thighs just feels good.
Besides, even while making that triumphant face, her body was trembling subtly.
…She’s getting turned on, too.
Well, of course. Sara was right next to us.
Though, thanks to the milky water, Sara probably couldn’t see what Diana was doing to me.
“Diana, again…”
“Th-this is perfectly fine, is it not! You’re plastered right up against him, too! Your body is pressed against his just as unnecessarily, I might add!”
Just as Diana said, Sara was currently sitting right next to me, the side of her body pressed tightly against mine.
“St-still, sitting on top of him like that is…”
“Hey, hey. Let’s all just stick together and relax while we’re in the tub. The only difference from how we sleep is that we’re naked, right?”
Sara tried to argue against Diana’s rebuttal, but this time I mediated between them.
Because if Sara reached out to ‘check on me’ again, things would get dangerous.
This time, she’d catch me in a compromising position, and there’d be no way to talk my way out of it.
“I think the fact that we’re naked is the problem…”
Despite her words, Sara didn’t press the issue.
It seemed she figured that since she’d lost her own composure earlier, it would be dangerous to confirm if Diana and I were actually doing something. Seriously, they’re both such perverts.
“Oh my. You three seem to be getting along so well. Then I’ll just…”
And Leia, having finished washing herself, sat down on my other side, opposite Sara, and pressed her body tightly against mine.
We ended up in the exact same formation we were in when we slept last night.
“Hiik! Ugh…!”
When Leia pressed against me, the distance between Diana, who was sitting on me, and Leia naturally shortened.
At that, Diana made a strange sound and her body trembled slightly.
Hey, Diana. Come on, isn’t that a bit of an overreaction to our dear angel?
At this rate, she’s going to end up with a Leia-specific trauma, isn’t she?
And hey, stop trembling while you’ve got me clamped between your thighs. It’s starting to feel a little too good.
It’s already hard enough to hold back as it is.
…Well, you look like you’re having a hard time holding back, too.
This girl. Don’t tell me she’s getting more excited at the thought of watching not just Sara, but Leia too…
Please, hold it in. I want to get through this bath without any incidents.
“Uuugh…”
But Diana’s trembling just wouldn’t stop.
Far from stopping, she tensed her thighs, squeezing me even tighter.
This damn pervert. Just you try calling me a pervert from now on.
“D-Diana. I won’t do anything with my tail. Please calm down. I was just teasing a little earlier.”
Seeing Diana tremble so much, Leia must have felt sorry, as she said that and turned her tail to the other side.
Ah, so that was our angel’s idea of a prank. Such a blessed prank… wait. On second thought, that’s what made this whole situation so complicated.
“R-really?”
At Leia’s words, Diana finally seemed to relax a bit, slightly loosening the grip her thighs had on me.
…Huh? She relaxed her thighs? Wasn’t she squeezing because she was excited?
But if that wasn’t the reason… Ah. I see. No wonder she plopped right down on top of me after what happened.
It seems Diana was using her thighs to guard me, afraid Leia would try something with her tail again.
Was what the tail did that shocking to her?
To think she’d go this far to block it, even knowing she’d get excited herself.
She may have relaxed her thighs, but it was also an undeniable fact that she had gotten aroused by it.
After all, pressed against her vulva, I could feel a slick fluid that was definitely not bathwater.
“Yes. Of course.”
“I-I’ll believe you if you move your breasts away too.”
She turned her own predicament to her advantage and added another condition to the deal.
Even while aroused, Diana was quick-witted.
“My breasts, I can’t really help… Aah. Ah, I understand. Is this okay?”
Leia looked troubled, but seeing that Diana was still trembling, she placed a hand on one of her breasts and pulled it toward the other side of her body, away from me.
Aaaah, no. The blissful sensation on my arm is fading… Doing that just emphasizes her cleavage even more.
It’s a shame her breast isn’t touching my arm anymore, but that view is quite something in its own right.
“J-just put it back the way it was!”
Diana must have been thinking the same thing as me, as she yelled as if to say ‘to hell with it’.
Hey. Don’t look like you’re about to cry. You’re plenty big when you’re grown up.
“Now, now. Calm down. The water is so nice, why are you all like this? Let’s just relax and relieve our fatigue. Wasn’t this whole thing to help me relieve my fatigue in the first place?”
I placed a hand on both Sara’s and Leia’s shoulders and pulled them even closer to me as I spoke.
“Ngh… I-I know.”
“Fufu. Yes. I’m sorry for the commotion.”
“Right. It’s not often we get a chance like this.”
In the end, we all huddled together, soaking in the tub and pleasantly relieving our fatigue.
Well, Diana remained a little excited until the very end, though.
“Whew. That was a nice bath. You all enjoyed it too, right?”
After leaving the bathroom and getting dressed again, I said with a refreshing smile, floating the idea.
Yes. Sure, there were a few ups and downs, but in the end, nothing happened! That’s what matters! I pulled it off magnificently!
“Yes. Very much so.”
“I-I suppose so…”
“Well… I guess…?”
But Leia was the only one who wore a refreshed smile like me.
Diana and Sara both muttered their agreement, though their expressions suggested ‘enjoyed’ wasn’t quite the right word.
Guys. Why the reaction? Nothing even happened in the end, right?
“Bathing together really is the best! Right! From now on, let’s always…”
“Aaaabsolutely! Not!”
“Aaaabsolutely! Not!”
Tch. So it ends up like this after all.
Why not? You guys were the ones getting excited, not me.
Do you know how hard I held back in that situation…? Wouldn’t any other guy have exploded and pounced on you long ago?
Even as I thought that, recalling Sara and Diana’s reactions, it was hard to push the issue any further.
These three know about each other’s particular kinks, but actually seeing them in action is another matter entirely.
In the end, I had no choice but to give up my dream of continuing to bathe together, weeping tears of blood in my heart.
Right. I got a good taste of a harem-like situation. That’s good enough.
I consoled myself with that thought.
And when night came, we all gathered to sleep together, just like yesterday.
The bed in my room was much wider than the one at the inn, so it was far more comfortable than yesterday.
You might think a wider bed is pointless since we all sleep stuck together anyway, right?
But that wasn’t quite the case.
Sara and Leia still slept pressed tightly against my sides, using my arms as pillows, but Diana didn’t sleep on top of me.
