WARNING: Another very NSFW chapter, including anal play. There will be a few of these, of course.


CHAPTER TWENTY

Ai Ebihara certainly looked conflicted. Crouching on that bathing stool and gazing down at the gorgeous pop star kneeling between her legs was not an easy position from which to attempt feigning indifference — and that was without the budding erection pointing straight at said pop star. Which was bad enough for her…

But it wasn't much easier on Rise. She felt like the sluttiest slut, immediately offering to go down on Ai just because a little rubbing had set off her anatomy again. Deep down, they both understood this was a product of her trying to mend fences after their very public falling-out, but it didn't make it any easier to navigate these waters. So here she was, trying to win back her affections with sexual favours.

"Please don't," Ai whispered.

"Oh." Instantly crestfallen, she whispered, "I'm really sorry, I… I don't-"

"No, no, don't apologise. I just don't… want…" She squirmed before whispering, "I don't want you working my cock over every time it stands up and says 'hi'. Like, normally you can't tell that kind of thing with girls, and I hate that I literally can't be stealth-horny like you could. So… so can we… practice you asking? Or waiting until I say I'm interested?"

"Yeah, of course! I don't really… I'll try to understand. I promise, I'm gonna try to be way better!"

But as soon as she finished saying that, Ai sighed. "Nevermind."

"What? Come on, talk to me."

"I'm being unreasonable. I know it, and I hate making you feel bad, and like, you did ask. I just… also hate that I don't have the same…"

Instead of waiting for her to finish that thought, she scooted forward on her knees and reached up to caress over Ai's semi-damp hair. "Hey, it's okay. Clearly I don't really understand any of this stuff, but I want to. And the more we talk about it, the better, right?"

"Mmhhh… finish washing my dirty places, you whore." But that smirk told her everything she needed to know. Ai was just enjoying playing with her now.

"Oh yeah? Well… maybe I'll start here!"

Ai giggled a little when she began scrubbing her foot harder than was strictly necessary. "Wow, that's… that's low!" Eventually the giggling subsided when she switched to the other foot and started washing it at a much more normal pace, sticking her tongue out at her. "Mmm… thank you. Like, I'm being a bitch, but this is really sweet of you."

"That's more like it," she teased with a little giggle. "Um… do you want me to get in there?"

"In where?" Then she noticed where Ai was pointing. "I can handle that. Give it here." Rise handed it over, and her girlfriend took care of that crevice on her own. "Really extra generous of you to offer, though. Like, I'd never ask you to do that."

"Hey, we're both getting clean, anyway. It's fine." As Rise started washing herself, she heard a throat clear and asked, "Hm? What's wrong, did I forget something? Oh — your hair!"

But Ebihara was already shaking her head. "No, I thought it was my turn. But you're probably right, we should take care of hair real quick — unless you wanted to just avoid-"

"Yeah, yeah, I do." Rise snapped her shower cap on over her expensive do. Sure, she was maintaining it on her own a lot more these days than when she had a full production team making sure she always looked unreasonably stunning, but she still had it styled occasionally. She couldn't completely stop caring about her image — not after having it beaten into her for multiple years that it was all she had to offer the world.

"Cool. Um…" She shrugged as she put one on her own head, even though she looked a little awkward about it — and missed some of the hair in the back.

"You're so cute," Rise snickered as she helped tuck it in. Ai smiled awkwardly up at her…

They were so close. Both nude now that she had discarded her towel in order to wash up. Sure, they were wearing shower caps that made them look like silly mushrooms, but it didn't mean she was any less attracted to this gorgeous, remarkable creature mere inches away. That was the reason she darted in and pecked her lips; she was impossible to resist.

"Ugh," Ai breathed in mild frustration. "You're so… fuck. I just don't know what to do with myself around you."

Rise bit her lip for a moment shyly, caressing up and down her back. "Relatable." Then she withdrew and sat on the stool Ai had vacated. "My turn! I guess. But you really don't have to do it f-"

"Yes, yes I do," her girlfriend cut her off firmly as she grabbed for a clean washcloth. "It's not fair if I'm the only one who gets pampered; you're not actually my slave. Well, not yet."

Rise let out a little burst of frustration as Ai started in on her back. "Hey! No, I am not going to be your slave — not now, not… mm, ever…"

The ire faded pretty instantaneously as she enjoyed the gentle ministrations of the soapy washcloth being dragged up and down her skin. Even if she hadn't been attracted to her classmate, the pampering would have been well worth the price of admission — though of course, their status as a couple only enhanced the pleasure. She found herself leaning in all directions to give Ebihara access to wash her thoroughly, every single place she owned.

Even there. She whimpered a little but Ai didn't keep scrubbing to torture her; just paused briefly to inspect the reaction showing in her facial features, then continued on to start scrubbing her legs, and down to her toes. Rise giggled a lot more than Ai had, but it was over before she knew it and she was pouting.

"What's wrong with you now?" she demanded with a snort as she picked up the shower nozzle.

"Just miss you touching me."

"Gay."

Then Ai sprayed her down before she could protest. That led to them wrestling around with the showerhead for a minute or so, laughing their heads off and throwing insults back and forth until they were so breathless they legitimately needed to take a break, panting as they stared up from the tile floor at the ceiling.

"We're… ridiculous," Ai finally managed.

"Mm." Without warning, she rolled over to straddle her girlfriend, staring down at her noble-yet-flushed features. Marvelling at how beautiful she was.

"This, uh… seems like you want something in particular."

Rise shrugged a single shoulder as she pet up and down her stomach, over her breasts. The warring emotions playing out over her senpai's features were so entertaining to watch; desire, affection, frustration, discomfort. If Rise thought Ai might suppress her desires for her sake, she might have asked a little more pointedly if she needed her to stop, but Ai was always very vocal about her wants and needs. So she told herself she would just go slower, make sure to pay close attention to those little reactions. Be ready to stop if it came to that. This was new for the both of them, and she didn't want to misstep now that they had finally grown this close.

"We should get into the water," Rise finally whispered. Then, after a brief hesitation, she forced herself to obey her own suggestion. It was not at all easy.

"Uh… yes." Neither of them really needed to acknowledge the state of Ai's anatomy; in fact, they were actively avoiding it. But of course, when Rise moved she jostled her, and she looked back to see its length bobbing from side to side. It would look funny if she weren't so anxious about making the wrong moves.

"I'm s-sorry! Did I- does that hurt?"

"No, no, it's cool," Ai hurried to reassure her with a slight chuckle as she sat up, obscuring it slightly more than before. They both stood to rinse off again, now that they had been rolling around on the tile. "It's just… weird being so close to you, I guess. After trying to keep our hands off each other for so long."

Rise nodded as she slipped into the tub, going slow as she could; the water was still quite warm, despite how long they took to shower off. "Mmmhhh… well, yeah, I… oooh…"

"Cat got your tongue?" Ai snorted.

"Shut up." Once they were both settled, they smiled across at each other. It was barely big enough for the two of them, but at least it was; Ai's money had definitely been well-spent on a nicer suite. Their friends probably only had a shower stall in their room, or a single-person tub at best. Still…

When Rise moved, she felt their knees bumping each other, another foot against her own. Maybe she should get even closer; they were already in too close quarters to spread out and avoid touching each other.

"Something on your mind, bitch?"

Rise rolled her eyes and drifted her leg upward. "Yeah, this."

"HEY! Get your stupid foot off my dick!"

"Aww, but…" When Ai just folded her arms over her chest, she giggled and turned to sit right next to her instead of across from her. "Sorry."

"It's fine. Stop freaking out so much or I'll go find Narukami. He probably wouldn't be so fixated on my junk."

"Careful or I'll pull it off, girl."

"PLEASE. Would save me a lot of money if you did!"

They both laughed, then settled in against each other, just languishing in the pleasantly hot water. But Rise's thoughts began to wander. She let her legs drift as her mind did the same, leaning back in the tub while Ai stretched her arms over the sides.

"With Yu… would you have let him…?"

When she didn't finish, eventually Ai prompted her, "Let him… what?"

"You know."

"If I did, I wouldn't ask. God."

"Um, accept him into your… um…"

"OH. Wow, Risette, that's a hell of a fucking question." But she didn't sound all that upset, even if the words were hostile. After a second or two, she whispered, "Yeah. I definitely would have, for him."

Most definitely blushing by now, she whispered, "Okay. Um… geez."

"You asked, dude!" Shaking her head, she let the sounds of water sloshing fill the silence for a moment before adding, "I know, butt stuff is… weird, a little scary. But people do it, right? I wouldn't say it's 'normal' but whatever. Me being a little shy about it doesn't mean I'd deny Yu his right to fuck his girlfriend."

Rise snorted. "His 'right', huh?" But then she reconsidered. "I guess I'd be the same way. Not that I'm not interested in, um, the normal way, even… but if he asked me to try it, I'd let him."

"You gonna let me in there?"

"SHUT UP!" They both chuckled; clearly Ai wasn't serious, so Rise felt more than comfortable just flicking her nipple. She squeaked and splashed her, and they had a thirty second splash-war that resulted in both of their faces being wet as they laughed and leaned against each other.

This was what she had coveted. A real relationship. Even though she couldn't say whether or not she had truly wanted one her entire life, in the here and now, she definitely was clear on that point: love completed her. Having someone in her life that could be her partner, her rock, a person she could explore her burgeoning sensuality with safely instead of risking some horrible scandal with a member of Exile or something… it was everything in a way she didn't think it could be.

"Hey, I have a question," Rise asked once she was basically curled around Ai, trying not to think about how close that trim thigh was to a certain increasingly-oversensitive cluster of nerves. When she only raised an eyebrow at her, she continued, "Um… do you want me to do that for you?"

"Do what?" After a second, she cleared her throat and straightened slightly. "Oh, that. Jesus! Gave you a taste and you're like a kid in a candy store now."

Pouting, she poked her in the stomach. Instead of starting another fight, Ai just pushed her hand away. "Can you blame me? I haven't even gotten off yet."

"Hmm, that's true…" With a snort, she added, "But you did fantastic work on me. I mean, I can't even joke about it; you got me off hard."

"Did I?" she purred, cheeks bunching with the force of her smile.

"Yes, you adorable bitch, you." They both giggled. "Honestly, I've never come that hard in my life! I didn't even think I could after I started my hormone therapy." When she felt Rise's hand on her inner thigh, she squinted over at her. "Where are you going?"

"Nowhere. Not unless you want me to… or will let me, I guess." And this time, she meant it; no unsolicited touches. Not anymore. The hand didn't move any higher.

"Well…" Pursing her lips for a moment as she tried to decide, eventually Ai just sighed and nodded. "Careful," she warned when she felt the fingertips ghosting over her flesh.

"Ooh, it's so soft now… and squishy…"

"Still be careful." But she sighed a little while Rise fondled the substantially smaller length of flesh, feeling it shift easily under her touch. Clearly she didn't dislike the attention, even if she wasn't especially fond of her own anatomy. Maybe she could do something that would make this worth her while.

"Um… so Ebi-chan…"

"Yes?" she hummed. It may have been her imagination, but she thought that it was starting to grow firmer again the longer she played with her.

"Do you want to maybe…" She cleared her throat; this offer was going to sound so bizarre… "Wanna look at my pussy?"

Ai drew her head back so she could blink down at her bashful girlfriend. "Uhm… yeah!"

She almost got whiplash from how quickly she received a positive response. "What? Really?!"

"Hell yes! Do you know how badly I've wanted to see one for real?!" When Rise grimaced, she quickly added, "Not in a pervy way, even. Just… I want to know what it really looks like. Not just in a health book, or some porn site. I know I'm saying this in really awkward ways, but… but now, with you… I also kinda wanna get one off. Just this one, though. "

Unlike Rise, Ai just patted her hip to indicate instead of actually trying to grope her. So strange; it was almost like a reversal, since the one with the typically "male" anatomy was less lecherous than the one without.

"Then… yeah. I'd be cool with that."

"After the bath? So I can really get a look at you and you don't have to like, perch weirdly on the tub."

"Yeah, for sure," she chuckled with a small smile as she kept fondling. Then a little lower…

"Oooh… Rise, what's-" Ai drew back with even wider eyes. "Whoa. You sure you wanna play around down there?!"

She gave an awkward shrug as she teased between Ai's firm cheeks. "Not at all, but like, I want to try it out. See how we both feel about it? I can back off! It's fine!"

However, Ai was already shaking her head. "Whatever, your funeral. But um… I don't know, did you want to see what you're doing? Is that weird? You probably have never wanted to look at somebody's butt your entire life."

No, she had not. "Yeah, sure. Might as well if I'm gonna figure anything out. And at least it's clean right now, right? So…"

Rise watched in disbelief as Ai bent over the lip of the tub, spreading her legs as much as she could. That was so obscene — she couldn't look. She wouldn't…

She did.

"Wow, it's kinda cute," Rise remarked with a distant little giggle as she moved in closer, hands resting on her senpai's cheeks to help spread them. They did clench initially but very quickly relaxed as she got used to the idea of being inspected.

"Thanks? So, um… I have tried this, on my own, but with someone else is… it's gonna be new, and I'm nervous. So can you go easy on me?"

"Of course! I'd never try to hurt you, Ebi-chan! Don't worry about that." As she moved in closer, she noticed: "Ooh, you're all hard again."

Ai shivered when she felt fingertips ghosting over her length. "Will you get on with it?" Though she instantly piped down when Rise did as asked, and she let out a strangled noise of uncertainty at the sensation of one of those fingertips pressing up against a place she had once promised to Narukami alone.

Meanwhile, Rise was busy trying to figure out what all the fuss was about. She would have felt dirty doing this if they didn't literally just wash it; even now, it was a little unseemly, but not that bad. Why did men always set penetrating a girl there as some lofty goal for whatever bizarre reason? On the other hand, Rise had to admit she liked that it gave and dimpled slightly when she pressed into it; liked that the skin was very slightly darker there, but also shinier. And she really liked how Ai was making even more awkward noises of reluctant interest than she had when her cock was being played with.

"S-soap…"

"Huh?"

Ai glanced over her shoulder, cheeks flaming red in her arousal and embarrassment. "Your finger… it was getting stuck. If you want to go further in, you'll have to use conditioner or something; we don't have any lube in here."

"What about water?" she asked as she twitched her fingertip back and forth.

"NNH! No, no, water doesn't… you'd think it works that way but it definitely does not. God, Risette… you can't keep… mmhh…"

Those sounds made it hard to want to take a break, but she forced herself to do as her girlfriend asked. A little conditioner on the tip of her finger and sure enough, it practically slid right in like it was home. Her girlfriend lost it — thighs tensing, widening, cheeks clenching and relaxing. Noises filling the bathroom as if she were being tortured. Her hips shifted from side to side, so Rise had to follow the movements. She decided it would be kinder if she didn't try to lean up and glimpse her girlfriend's face while she was enduring this punishment-slash-pleasure; let her keep that embarrassment to herself.

"Does it really feel that good?"

"NO!" Ai burst out. When Rise paused in her movements, she sighed and amended, "It… it's so weird… I love it and I hate it! That's the best I can e-explain!"

As she slid deeper, she smiled at listening to Ai come undone. Now would be a great time to tease her… and normally she probably would have. But somehow, she knew that everything had been too much for the pair of them anyway, so it would just have been needlessly cruel. And besides…

It was much more interesting to watch her own digit sliding in and out of this dirty little area of someone's body. Did people really normally do this?! She herself was still the tiniest bit disgusted, but not much more than when she was fellating the girl an hour or so ago. Speaking of which, that adorable little semi-erection pressed against the wall of the bathtub, pointing down at the water, was very encouraging. Ai had to be enjoying their play if her body was responding so well. Licking her lips, she even leaned down to kiss it.

The angle was too awkward. Rise practically headbutted Ai in the back of the thigh. Predictably, she yelped, "H-hey! What are you trying to do, knock me out of this tub?!"

"No! I'm sorry, I- no, that's not what I…" She sighed and held her finger still as she patted Ai's hip. "I was trying to make this better for you, I guess? I'm not really sure what I'm doing." A little stage fright, even, which she thought she had grown out of. Apparently not.

Though Ai did sigh first, she followed up with, "You're doing fine. Like, seriously, just… be more careful and you'll have this down to a science." Her muscles clenched around the finger. "Though, um, I think I'm done with this? For now?"

"Really? Oh… I kinda wanted to start pounding you back here." A little hum, and Rise knew she had said the right thing; she just had to figure out which it was. "You want me to pound you?"

"Not if you ask it like that… ugh."

"You want me to just pound you without ever asking, huh? Wow, that's almost the opposite of what you've been telling me."

"Phrasing," Ai grumbled with a little whimper, hips twitching — and the most telling thing of all was how they pushed back onto the finger now that it had stopped moving. "N-nnhh… you're turning me into a… I don't know…"

"A little slut?" More clenching, and she saw that shaft throb with interest; again, she hit her mark. Rise knew she was in over her head; they both were. But she was never one to back down from a challenge. "Okay, let me try poundi- um, going faster. Like this?"

The effect was instantaneous. It was as if someone had lit Ai Ebihara on fire when the finger started really flashing in and out of her at speed, and she was whimpering and spreading her legs as if she had been waiting for this all her life. Again, that powerful urge to tease rose up within her, but she focused on making her girlfriend feel the best she possibly could. Enjoying those half-screams.

She also started caressing over her length at the same time, though at best she could ghost her fingertips over its underside given the angle. Still, in no time it was as hard as it had been when she was going down on her.

"Do you want something else, baby?" she asked, attempting a sexy tone of voice. Which she knew exactly how to pull off — thanks to her acting experience.

"MHH! Shut up! Just… just keep fucking me!"

Cheeks burning bright at that phrasing, Rise redoubled her efforts. Maybe she was mistaken, but it seemed like when she curled her finger downward a little more, rubbing against some kind of firm presence inside of her, it brought about a stronger reaction than when she didn't — so she kept doing it. And Ai kept coming more and more undone, legs churning up the water as she thrashed.

And then she was coming. Not very much came out this time; Rise had been expecting a real show and instead most of the interest lie in the way the shaft pulsated with joy at her relentless ministrations, how those toned cheeks clenched over and over around her finger. Still, it wasn't making it easy for Rise to ignore her own desires, watching a cock climax for the first time in her life instead of simply feeling it against her throat.

"O-okay," Ai panted a minute or so later. "You… it's starting to hurt, can you…"

"Oh!" she squeaked, quick to withdraw her finger. The sharp grunt of mingling frustration and pain told her she had handled that badly, so she hissed, "Sorry! Did I mess up?"

Once she had caught her breath, AI muttered, "Dumb bitch…" After a few breaths, she tried again: "Too sudden… but we're new, it's… fine… it's fine. We'll learn."

By way of apology, Rise rinsed off her finger and Ai's poor anatomy, splashed some between her cheeks. Then she slowly pulled her back into the water so she could wrap her in a tight embrace. The prissy girl looked thoroughly ashamed and annoyed about it, but little by little she began to relax. Then she rolled to hug her back, nuzzling into her neck.

"Are we okay?" Rise whispered finally.

"Yeah. Like, thank you for trying something so crazy with me, I… I just didn't know I could feel like… that. I don't even know what that was."

Smiling a tiny bit, she kissed her forehead. "It was fun. Can it just be that? Just fun?" Ai nodded, and she kissed again as she stroked over her neck. "Good. I mean, it was weird for me, too, but I liked hearing you totally get off to it."

Rolling her eyes, Ai kissed her lips lightly. "God, shut up, you whore."
