Chapter 17 The Bridge of Glory and a Vow of Love
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
I cradled Mana, who was swaying, from behind and settled us both into the bath. After she calmed down a little while later, she accused me.
”Hiro-kun is so mean! ¹ Knowing this kind of thing will just make me into a more and more naughty girl.”
”In that case, should we stop now?” I teased.
”Seriously, you’re so mean!” Mana complained.
She confessed that she had tried to relax herself before, especially when she felt the urge before her period, but she could never reach the peak her classmates talked about. She was confused because now I had made her feel it, both yesterday and again today.
”So you also relax yourself, Mana,” I realized.
”Most girls do, you know,” she admitted.
”Is that so? It certainly changes how I see my classmates,” I mused.
”But I won’t anymore. I can’t reach it by myself, and I’ve discovered something amazing now. If I get that feeling, I’ll have Hiro-kun help me. And Hiro-kun, you’re forbidden from doing that alone, too. I’ll do it for you.”
When we got out of the bath, Mana put on a pink bra and panties.
”They’re cute,” I complimented.
”It’s embarrassing,” she replied, cheeks flushed.
”Well then, my Princess. After you.”
”Oh!” she gasped, surprised.
I intended to lift Mana in a princess carry and head to my room, but I couldn’t manage the stairs. I was such a clumsy failure right there (sweat). ² Even so, once we made it upstairs, I lifted her again in the princess carry.
”I didn’t think Hiro-kun was the kind of person who would do something like this,” she whispered.
”I’ll do anything that I think my Mana would like,” I declared.
”That’s why I love Hiro-kun so much ³“
I placed Mana on my bed, immediately covered her with my body, and kissed her. The deep kiss that had been clumsy yesterday was smooth and practiced today. I felt a real connection with Mana. With that thought, I invited Mana’s tongue into my mouth. I immediately trapped the tongue that cautiously entered and tangled our two together. It felt wonderful.
As our tongues intertwined, I squeezed her chest, and Mana’s soft gasp escaped between our joined mouths. I slipped my hand into her bra and rolled my fingers over her sensitive spot. Mana’s body twitched subtly. She was too sensitive.
When we separated our lips, a glistening thread stretched between us.
”This is the Bridge of Glory ⁴ with Hiro-kun,” Mana said, smiling sweetly.
That smile, directed only at me, was the absolute best.
I was contemplating what to do next while still kneading her chest when a memory suddenly struck me. I started licking Mana’s face. It was the affectionate gesture that Bogie ⁵ often used with her. I licked all over Mana’s face, just like the dog, back and forth.
”That tickles! It’s like Bogie,” she giggled.
”Woof, woof,” I responded.
Mana burst out laughing. In that perfect moment, I gave her ear a long, playful lick.
”Oh, no… you’re being mean again.”
I continued licking her ear playfully.
”Aah… it’s giving me shivers.”
”You’re so cute, Mana,” I complimented.
I slid my tongue down to her neck and began nibbling gently. I wanted to kiss her neck, but I realized it would be a bad idea to leave a mark since she had school tomorrow.
Taking advantage of the fact that Mana’s body had gone slack with pleasure, I took her arm and began to lick and kiss her armpit.
”Hiro-kun, not there… I’m embarrassed,” she protested.
I paid her no mind and continued to lick her playfully.
”Aah… why do I feel so much there?”
I was realizing that Mana was incredibly sensitive. It was only the second day since I had shed my inexperience, but I was finding a certain thrill in making Mana feel good.
This should be the next step, I thought, and tried to unhook her bra, but I just couldn’t get it undone. I fumbled with it until Mana took off the bra herself. I just couldn’t manage to look cool at all today.
The sensitive spots beneath the bra were already fully hardened. I kneaded one side of her chest from below and, without touching the spot on the other side, I began licking and kissing the area. Even though I wasn’t touching it directly, that spot seemed to harden even more. I ran my tongue along the tip of the spot.
”Ah! Aahhh…”
Mana’s body gave a sharp twitch, and she let out the loudest sound of the day.
”No! I’m feeling too much!”
Every time I licked her spot, Mana’s body kept twitching.
”Ahh, ahh…”
Mana’s voice echoed in the room.
When I rolled the tip of my tongue over the spot, the twitches became continuous.
”To feel this much just from the spot…”
I began gently working on her spot, then held it and rolled it with my tongue.
”Aahhh… Stop… Ah, aahhh! I think I’m going to lose it!”
”You can lose it even more, if you like,” I encouraged.
”Ah! No! I’m too embarrassed,” she cried out.
Saying that, Mana embraced my head and arched her back. It seemed she had experienced a light wave of pleasure. Mana, who seemed overcome with embarrassment, hid her face with both hands and was panting heavily.
”Mana.”
”Just wait a minute.”
”If you don’t want me to see your face, turn over,” I suggested.
Mana, perhaps not wanting me to see her face right after her peak, slowly rolled onto her stomach.
The line from Mana’s back to her waist was beautiful. Furthermore, although Mana’s bottom was small, it was plump, making the line that rose gently from her waist to her hips even more stunning. I was mesmerized. It made me wonder if I was really good enough to be Mana’s boyfriend.
I stroked Mana’s hair to help her relax. Then, I slowly slid my fingertips across her back and waist, barely touching her skin. It was called a Feather Touch ⁶, I recalled.
As I slid my fingers over her skin repeatedly, Mana began to squirm.
”Hiro-kun, what are you doing? It feels ticklish and strange.”
”I’m searching for your sensitive zones, Mana.”
”Stop doing weird things! It’s too embarrassing.”
”But it feels good, right?”
When I replied, Mana fell silent.
I slid my tongue along Mana’s back.
”Oh!” she squeaked.
Mana writhed her body and forcefully flipped back onto her back.
”Stop… If you do any more, I think I’ll lose it completely…”
I tried to get close to her private area, but she tightly closed her legs.
”Hey, Hiro-kun…”
I understood what Mana was requesting. I wanted to be closer, but I decided against it, not wanting to upset her, and put on the protection I had bought today. Mana watched me with a look of curious interest.
I immediately connected with her. Her interior was still tight, as expected. I pushed in, adjusting gently.
”Ow.”
”Did that hurt?”
”Yeah. It still hurts a little.”
”Are you okay?”
”It’s tight, but I’m okay,” she assured me.
Mana’s inside was just like yesterday, clinging to my part and squeezing tightly, but with the covering on, the feeling was duller.
Yesterday, I had lost control and moved roughly, so this time I was cautious and moved slowly.
”I can feel your part moving inside,” she confessed.
I watched Mana’s expression, moving slowly without rushing.
”It… pant… pant…”
However, while I felt a lot of pleasure, Mana didn’t look comfortable, perhaps still feeling some discomfort. It hadn’t been long since I had connected, yet the sensation of release was already building rapidly. Since this was only my second time, I couldn’t hold back and released completely into the protection.
When I stopped moving, Mana whispered, “You finished?”
”I’m sorry. It felt too good, and I couldn’t hold back.”
When I slowly pulled away, a large amount of fluid had collected inside the covering.
”It feels a little lacking since my special spot ⁷ didn’t get to hold anything.”
”But we’re still high school students, so we have to do it this way.”
”Mmm… Starting tomorrow, I’ll take my temperature. So, can we go without the covering just once a month?”
I didn’t have the confidence to take full responsibility yet, but I was so weak when it came to Mana’s requests.
”Only once a month,” I consented.
”Hehe… you’re my Hiro-kun after all!”
I thought that smile was absolutely unfair.
