The sun shone through the curtains, lightly warming Elie's arm. She opened her eyes to see Haru asleep next to her, his arms around her waist. She sighed contently. Her first morning as a married woman.
She felt excited and worried all at once. It was her first day as Haru's wife, and she had him all to herself for a week in a beautiful beach hotel. Her idea of paradise. But her mind kept going back to last night. They had almost made love... and then stopped, for no reason. She had felt Haru freeze, and she couldn't bring herself to do it either.
She didn't understand. After her talk with the girls, getting Haru into bed had been on her mind all night. She could hardly wait to touch him all over... so why did she hesitate?
She sighed, thinking maybe it was just nerves. It was no big deal. They had all week to come together.. she kissed his nose, causing his eyes to flash open.
"Hey beautiful.." He murmured, pulling her closer for a kiss on the lips.
"Morning.." She smiled, blushing a bit as he felt his chest brush against hers. He was so damn sexy...
"Hey Elie... He sounded sorry for something. "I er... I'm sorry if last night wasn't more exciting for you."
"We got married. How much more excitement do you want" She laughed.
"Well, uh... I was uh... think you would have liked to uhh.." He shook his head. "I sound like an idiot, right"
She giggled. "It's okay Haru. We were both pretty tired. Besides.. you're cozy to sleep against."
"That's good to know."
Elie lifted herself out of the bed, and sauntered over to the window, allowing Haru to have a nice view of her behind, barely covered by her nightdress.
"So uh..." He leered. "What do you want to do today"
She didn't reply, instead she beckoned him to join her. Getting up, he padded over and looked out the window. A vast, unspoilt beach was laid out in front of them.
"It's gorgeous.." Elie breathed...
"Yeah.." Haru grinned. "Course, there's the lovely lady to complete the scene."
"Where did you get such a silver tongue"
He shrugged. "I keep it handy..." He looked lower down. "Hey! There's a pool down there! You wanna take a swim"
Elie blinked. "There's an entire ocean out there, and you want to swim in a pool"
He just gave a dopey smile. "Well, it'll be warmer. Oceans are cold you know."
She giggled. "Oh alright then. Let me get changed."
She padded past their luggage, grabbing her luggage bag before locking herself in the bathroom. As she fished through the bag for her bikini, she found her mobile phone. Thinking a few friends might want to know if they were okay, she selected a number...
-
The phone by the bed rang, and Let reluctantly picked it up. Reluctantly, because he wanted nothing to disturb the sensual ministrations his wife was performing. "Hello" He replied gruffly.
"Hiiii! Is Julia-chan around"
He smiled. It could only be Elie. "Phone call for you love."
Julia's head appeared from under the covers. Clearly, she was not happy with being interrupted. "Arrgh, some people..." Her expression changed when she heard who it was. "Elie-chan! You and Haru get there okay"
"Oh yeah! The hotel is wonderful..." Elie's voice rattled off. Let lay back, trying to ignore the girl talk.
"So, did you and Haru have a nice night" She smirked.
"Well..."
"Come on! I want every filthy detail"
Elie sighed. "We got in... and went to sleep."
Julia's face sagged. "That's it"
"Well, we were tired... we didn't feel up to it"
"Sheesh, fine..."
"Julia-chan... since you're the expert.. can you give me some hints"
"Hints"
"Yeah, you know, hints. Ways to pleasure him and all that"
Julia sighed. "Elie, you're old enough to figure it out on your own. You have to be with him, talk to him, to truly learn what makes him happy."
"Oh..."
"But..." She grinned evilly. "I will give you one tip."
"What"
"Tease him."
Elie sounded confused. "Tease him... how.."
"You know, flash him some skin, act naughty around him... just do anything to drive him wild. I assure you, the results will be spectacular."
"Oooh, okay"
"You have a good time Elie-chan. Say hello to Haru for me."
"Sure! Thanks for the advice! Byyye"
Julia hung up. "Humph. Those kids sometimes.." She rested her head on Let's chest.
"They haven't commutated yet" Let spoke. "Well, they must have some restraint."
"Or they're just stupid. I mean, how hard can it be to pleasure your wife" She huffed. "Haru is such a dimwit sometimes."
Let patted her head. "Now now, it is their first time. I recall when we first mated, you were extremely nervous, as it was your first time. But you got through it okay.."
Julia raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me? YOU were the nervous one! I barely got you to take your clothes off that night."
Let just frowned. "Why don't you just get back to what you were doing"
"Fine" She grinned. "But it's your turn in a minute."
"Take your time..." Let smiled as her head ducked back under the covers.
-
Meanwhile, another call was being made... to the house of Hamlio Musica...
Melodia stepped into the living room, to find Musica collapsed on the couch, still in his suit from the wedding. She couldn't help but giggle, knowing he'd be paying for the large champagne binge he'd had. The phone next to the couch rang, causing him to jerk up as if he'd been stung.
"Agggggghhhh... my head.." He moaned, rubbing his skull.
"I told you to take it easy, but did you listen" She playfully scolded.
He looked at her with pained eyes. "Have a heart babe, I'm dying here." He glanced at the phone. "Get that for me, willya"
She grinned evilly. "We had a deal Hamlio. Whoever's closest to the phone answers it." To mark her point, she took several steps back. Musica scowled and answered the call.
"Musica, you there"
"Haru" His mood brightened. "How's paradise man"
"It's great! Elie-chan and I are about to go swimming."
"Really? Doubt you'd have the energy to swim after last night."
"Yeah.. uh... well, we never really got to do anything"
He blinked. "You what? You mean you didn't"
"I tried, but just couldn't uh... rise to the occasion. We were just tired, that's all."
"For your sake, I hope so." Musica smirked. "Just take it slow man. The hard part, getting the girl, is over and done with. Now you just gotta relax and let the good times roll."
"I hope so... I gotta go. Catch you later man" Haru hung up.
"Haru and Elie having fun" Melodia asked, stepping closer and bending over her boyfriend.
"Not as much fun as they should be.." He rubbed his head again. "Geez this throbs.."
Melodia sighed. "Do you want me to get you an asprin? Or some sort of hangover cure"
Musica simply grabbed her waist, and pulled her on top of him. "I believe I already have one." His mouth began to kiss her throat.
Melodia sighed, trying to resist. "You creep. Sex isn't the answer to everything you know.."
"True.. but it's a damn good way of guessing."
She rolled her eyes, and decided to just go with it. For all his faults, Musica could always entrance her. She wasted no time in removing his shirt...
-
Haru grinned as he surveyed the pool. Large, cool inviting waters, and thanks to getting up at an early time, no one around except him and his wife. He ran to the edge, leaping off and hitting the water in a cannonball.
He swam around, glad that the water was cool, but not freezing cold. "Elie! Hurry, up, the water's great"
"Okay" Elie appeared in view. She was wearing a very, very skimpy bikini, which seemed to have trouble clinging to her body. "Do you like it? It's a new one."
Haru just stared. The water felt a lot warmer all of a sudden.
Elie stepped onto a nearby diving board. "Watch this" She ran forward, sprang off the board, and flew through the air in a fairly decent dive, before hitting the water with a splash.
She broke through the surface, cheering. "Gold medal for Elie Glory! Yay"
Haru applauded her.. then froze when he realized her breasts were bare. "Ah! Elie! Your top"
Elie looked down, seeing her bare chest and her top floating a few feet away. Pre-wedding jitters must have made her lose weight, because it had fitted perfectly before. She was about to cover herself, then stopped. Why? Haru was her husband, he was well entitled to have a look now.
Besides... this was an opportunity to continue what had begun last night. Julia said she should tease him... she smirked.
"Oh Haru.. this feels so nice. That top just felt so tight."
"Really" Haru managed to speak, a bright blush all over his face. Elie swam closer.
"Mmmm.." She pressed her body against his chest. "Feels nice, doesn't it"
Haru shivered in desire. It was a clear invitation, and this time, he wasn't about to waste it.
His hands lifted to settle on her breasts, lightly stroking the soft mounds. He leaned to to capture her lips with his own. As he gently kneaded her breasts, he heard her moan into his mouth. He moved his head down to kiss her throat, then lower down to caress her breasts. Elie gasped in pleasure, her hands grasping Haru's hair.
Haru moved lower down, his head going underwater. He was grateful he was good at holding his breath. His hands moved to touch her bum, while his lips brushed against her belly. Despite the now tepid water, she felt warm all over.
Elie couldn't resist any longer. Taking a deep breath, she sank under the water, meeting Haru at eye level. The two kissed again, Haru breathing into her, his hands caressing her breasts and back. The two floated just under the surface.
Haru mentally sighed. Never before had he felt so pleasured. His head moved to kiss her neck..
Then he saw them. Several shapes in the water, looking like disembodied heads, staring at them. Panic, he leapt upward, knocking Elie back. He took deep breaths as he broke the water's surface.
"Haru" Elie got up, very angry. "What the hell are you doing"
He gasped for air. "I... I saw... faces"
She blinked. "Faces"
"Yeah" He ducked under the water again. Elie waited, tapping her fingers until he came up again.
"Elie-chan, I swear, I saw these.. faces staring in the water. Like something out of a horror novel."
Elie sighed. "Haru, was I doing something wrong? Cause this just sounds like an excuse to not... do it.."
"I know what I saw" Haru said firmly. He sighed as he saw Elie's crestfallen face. "But you're right. I'm sorry."
She hugged him. "It's okay. I wasn't sure I wanted to do it in a pool anyway."
"Yeah.. could you imagine if somebody saw us"
They laughed a little. "Totally embarrassing"
Elie reached down to grab her bikini top. "Come on. Let's get some breakfast, then we'll see what to do today."
-
Some time later, the two found the hotel restaurant, oddly situated in the basement. Not that they cared, as they ordered a full breakfast with the works just minutes within entering. Haru was looking at the brochure as he ate his eggs.
"Wow! You can actually hire a boat and go deep sea fishing."
Elie gave him a look. "You go fishing all the time back home."
"Yeah, but never deep sea fishing. It says there are fish that weigh over 50 pounds. I gotta try and catch one. The guys will never believe it."
She smiled. Trust Haru to get excited over something as dull as fishing. It was then she noticed something. Several people in the restaurant were staring at them, all with cheeky grins on their faces.
"You want to come with me" Haru asked. "It should be a nice boat ride."
"No thanks. I'll just hang out at the casino. You have fun, okay" Elie then saw more people staring, some giving wolf whistles. "H..Haru.. everyone is staring at us."
He looked around. "Yeah..."
"It's creepy."
"They're probably just aware we're newlyweds." He touched her hand to comfort her. "Why don't I get us some more drinks"
He walked over to the bar, aware that everyone was looking at him. Some men appeared to be giving him the thumbs up, or some kind of congratulatory hand signal. Was everyone here that friendly?
"Two more orange drinks please." He requested. The bartender grinned widely on seeing him.
"Hey man, it's you"
"Er, yeah."
"Awesome stuff back there man"
Haru decided he didn't want to know what the guy was on about. He was about to leave with the drinks, when he noticed something on the wall next to the bar. It looked like a large fishtank, set into the wall, filled with water but no fish.
"Hey, that's a nice fishtank you got there. But uh... where are the fish"
The bartender snickered. "That ain't a fishtank man. It's the swimming pool"
To prove his point, a swimmer darted through the 'fishtank'. Haru cringed as he looked around, everyone cheering him on. Except Elie, who was now hiding under the table.
"Well, that explains the faces I saw.." He gave a weak wave to his new-found fans.
-
Some time later, Haru lounged in a chair on the deck of a large fishing boat, his line out in the water. He'd caught two huge fish already, and was hoping to catch a bigger one.
But he could hardly concentrate. As he stared out at the water, he kept thinking back to what had happened in the pool. True, he had been spooked, but was what Elie saying true? Was he looking for an excuse to not do it?
He couldn't think why. Even during the early days of the Rave quest, when they were merely friends, he had looked at her occasionally with a healthy bit of lust. Her's was the body of dreams, perfectly formed, and to quote Musica, 'with a butt you could eat your dinner off'.
So why was he so nervous about making love? He was all primed to take her, but again, he'd felt nervous as they approached the moment. He felt, even without his scare, he would have stopped. But why?
He could picture her in the hotel casino now. Wearing a top made to expose as much cleavage as was acceptable.. a sarong skirt, cut to reveal her long legs and thighs.. her hair shining in the sun, her bright eyes.. he could stare into them, as he softly caressed her skin... kissed her curves.. tasted every centimeter of her body..
He shook his head. "I must be in love. I can never get her out of my head." He laid back in his chair, trying to relax. "Maybe I'm thinking too hard about this. Just forget about sex for a while. I can think about it when I get back, but for now..." He closed his eyes, deciding to nod off..
"Oh my God! It's huge" A female voice yelled out. Haru ignored it.
"It's a big one! It must be six feet long" It called again. This time, Haru couldn't ignore.
"It keeps wriggling! I can't get it in" Rather inappropriate thoughts came to his mind.
"Mmm! This one will be so tasty"
He had enough, and got to his feet to locate the voice. He found a woman in a sunhat on the other side of the boat, struggling to reel in a large fish with her rod.
"Hey, do you mind? I'm trying to rest"
The woman turned to him, revealing a slim face framed by purple hair. Her lavender eyes widened in shock. "Haru"
He blinked. "Belnika"
It was his old friend Belnika, one of the many people who had helped him in the fight against Demon Card. When they had met, Belnika was a prisoner of the evil Hardner, who had trapped her in experiments to transform her into a magic user to use in his plans. Haru had managed to save her, and she had followed him and the gang all the way to the final battle against Lucia. Afterwards, she had gone off to start a new life.
"Haru" She hugged him hard. "I can't believe it"
"Yeah, we haven't seen you in ages." He could remember the time he's had a very slight crush on her, before realizing his feelings for Elie.
"It's so good to see you! I've always been wondering what you and the others were doing. Are you and Elie finally together"
"You bet we are." Haru held up his hand. "We're on our honeymoon."
Belnika almost collapsed. "That... that is so bizarre! I'm on my honeymoon too" She lifted her hand to reveal a wedding ring.
"Wow.." Haru smiled. "Congratulations! Well, guess that explains why we never saw you at our wedding."
"I know. I'm sorry I couldn't come, but it was all so sudden. I'd been dating him for several months after the final battle, and out of the blue, he asked me to marry him." Her eyes had a starry look. "Oh, it was just so romantic. We found the nearest church, got married, and we had the most incredible night under the stars. Then we decided to come here for the honeymoon, about two days ago."
Haru was glad she was so happy. After all she had gone through to help the gang, she deserved it.
"So, this guy you married..."
She clapsed her hands. "Oh yes. He's almost perfect. He's handsome, smart, a little vain, but just so lovely. He had a bad past, and he really wants to make up for it. He looks after me, treats me... and he's rather adventurous. He's gotten to try all these new things..." She had a mischevious grin. "Yesterday, I dabbled in... public nudity."
She sniggered, while Haru stared in confusion. "Wha? Nudity"
"Yep" She pointed out at a distant part of the coast. "We found a little cave out there, and actually sunbathed in the nude. It felt so... liberating. And rather saucy too..."
Haru's mind was reeling with the image of a naked Belnika, which in turn, conjured up a naked Elie. He turned away, remembering his current problem.
"...we spent all morning out there, he's got more stamina than I know what to do with..." Belnik
a noticed his look. "Oh, I'm not upsetting you, am I"
He looked back. "Nah. I'm just think about.. a problem I have."
Belnika's smile faded. "Is something wrong between you and Elie"
"Well, it's..." Haru cringed. What was he doing telling her that couldn't pleasure his wife?
Then again, another opinion might be helpful.
"Okay, when you married your guy, did you two have problems... uhh... you know..."
She was confused. "Not really. It was a small ceremony.."
"I mean afterwards... you know..." Haru was now a fine tomato shade. "When you... er.. did it."
She blinked, then gasped as she understood. "Oooh. It"
"Yeah.."
"Well, I was nervous... but he was there, holding me tight, and it felt so good.. He touched me in places.."
He held up a hand. "Okay okay, spare the details! I just... so you didn't hesitate, or stop"
She smiled. "I was with the man I love. Why should I stop"
Haru stared at his feet. "Then why did I stop last night? We could have... but we didn't.. I love Elie, but why can't I.."
Belnika put a comforting arm around him. "Haru, your love has nothing to do with it. Back in the day, it was obvious how much you loved her. Just cause you can't.. perform.. doesn't mean you love her any less."
"Then why can't I do this for her"
"You can't expect to jump right in. You have to wait.."
"For the right time, yeah yeah." Haru finished. "But I don't want to wait. Every time I see her, I go crazy, but I can't do a thing about it."
Belnika thought for a second. "Tell you what. Let's turn the boat around and head back. We'll meet Elie, and who knows? Maybe you'll feel ready. Plus, you can meet my husband."
Haru managed a smile. "That sounds alright. I gotta tell you... your husband is a lucky guy."
She blushed. "I'm the lucky one.."
-
Back on land, Elie was busying herself with her favourite vice, blackjack. She laid down her cards for the dealer to see.
"21! Madam wins again"
She sighed as a huge pile of chips was pushed her way. Normally a big win would excite her, bot she couldn't stop thinking about Haru.
Okay, so he had genuinely been spooked when they were in the pool, but why was he so nervous about making love? It was hardly something to be scared off. Just about all the others in the gang had done it. Musica would make one lewd joke about them a day. Sex wasn't exactly taboo to them. So why wouldn't Haru make his move?
She looked down at herself. By her standards, she was fairly good looking. But when Haru described her, he'd go on as if he was standing before some etherial goddess. He'd go over board, but he always made her feel beautiful.
"But.. there must be something wrong with me, if he doesn't..." She shook her head. "Of course he loves you. You just married him, moron" She sighed. "Maybe I'm thinking too much about this. I just need to take my mind away from nookie, and have a good time..." She prepared to deal her cards again...
"I can't get it in the slot" A haughty voice yelled. Elie jumped.
"I keep trying. It goes in and out, in and out, but I get no reaction"
Elie blushed. The man's words sounded a bit too familiar.
"Too small? Of course it's not too small! It's a perfect fit! Do you suggest I find something bigger"
Elie crossed her legs, and looked over for the source of the voice. She spotted a thin man, clad in a loud coloured shirt and shorts, shouting at a casino worker.
"I'm sorry sir, it must be out of order..."
"Out of order! Look here my good man, I paid good money to visit these facilities, and so far, this place hasn't impressed me. If it wasn't for that beautiful beach outside, I would have left this...dump ages ago."
Elie gasped. Only one person could say 'beautiful' in that fey tone. She moved closer to the man. "Iulius"
The man turned, revealing his rather effeminate face. It was indeed Iulius, one of the former generals of Demon Card. Thankfully though, after the organization had kicked him out, he had decided to change sides, and joined Haru's group. He'd managed to join them all the way to the final battle, but hadn't been seen since.
"Well I'll be damned" He grasped Elie in a big hug. "How delightful to see you again"
"Yeah.." She smiled. "I haven't seen you in ages. Where have you been"
"Oh, travelling around, merely slumming it... life is a bit slower now Demon Card is gone, but at least I now have time to concentrate on my singing career and other pursuits."
Elie cringed slightly. She could remember too many times in the past when Iulius had shown off his singing prowess. Or lack of it.
"So, you've come to soak in the sun too Elie-chan. Any of our old pals with you"
"Just Haru. In fact, this is our honeymoon." She showed off her ring."
"Good lord! He finally got a spine and hooked up with you" Iulius was genuinely shocked.
Elie scowled. "Hey! Haru was just a bit shy, that's all"
"Well, I'm happy for you. It's about time you two got together. Speaking of which... you're not the only ones." He held up his hand to show a gold ring.
Elie gasped. "No way! You're married" It sounded remarkable. Back in the day, Iulius had been the world's biggest flirt. Men, women, he'd flirt with anyone. To imagine him settling down with anyone seemed impossible.
Iulius smiled proudly. "Yes, as off a few days ago. Ah, I never thought I would walk up the aisle, but my girl... once I realized she was the one, we rushed to the nearest chapel. It was a rush job... I think the minister was just some casino worker moonlighting... but when you're in love, those things don't matter."
"Wow, fast wedding."
"Indeed, and we rushed over here the same night." He had a dopey smile on his face. She thought it was nice to see her former enemy happy over something that wasn't evil.
"I tell you, this girl has changed my life. We're utterly different, yet so compatible. And I tell you, the things she can do in bed..." He stopped. "Oh dear, better keep that private."
Elie sighed at the mention of sex. The last thing she wanted to hear.
"Seems you're having a better time than me..."
Iulius looked concerned. "What's the matter? Haru misbehaving already"
She swallowed, nervous about discussing a sensitive matter with Iulius of all people. But maybe a new insight would help.
"You see... when we came here, I was all excited about me and Haru... you know... getting jiggy.." She blushed, and Iulius nodded in understanding. "But for some reason... Haru just can't do it. Whenever we try, he just stops..."
"My God" Iulius yelped. "The poor lad! Struck down in the prime of his life"
Elie rolled her eyes. "He gets aroused... down there you twit! What I mean is, he just stops before we... you know."
"Oh..."
"I just don't get it. The first night, he was so excited... now I'm not sure if he wants to do it or not.." Her eyes closed. "If he wants to be with me.."
Iulius patted her shoulder. "None of that. I'm sure Haru is meaning to do something. Perhaps he's waiting for a special occasion..."
"It's our honeymoon! How much more special can you get"
"Well, maybe he's planning some elaborate dinner for you.." He shrugged. "The point is, you just have to be patient. I mean, me and the missus had a few teething problems at the start, but if you just work together, you can get over it."
She flashed a small smile. "I hope so. Cause I have to tell you..." She leaned closer. "I'm going crazy. I took my top off in the pool for him."
Iulius blinked. "Wait.. you're the 'Flirty Flashers' everyone keeps talking about"
She blushed. Just how many people had seen them in that pool...
"Elie-chan" She turned to see Haru walking over. She ran to him, grasping him in a hug.
"Hey sweetie" She kissed him. "Have a good trip."
"Yeah, and you'll never guess who I met..." He pointed behind him, where Belnika was standing, a wide grin on her face.
"Belnika-chan" Elie rushed over to hug her old friend. "It's you! Where have you been"
"Getting married. Oh it's so good to see you again.."
Elie gasped. "You.. you're married too"
Belnika nodded, then spotted Iulius nearby. "Yeah.. and here's the lucky guy. Hi darling."
"Muffin..."
Haru and Elie nearly collapsed as Iulius and Belnika came together in a deep kiss, which lasted for several minutes. The finally parted, flashing smiles at their friends.
Haru found his voice. "You...married... HIM"
"Oh don't sound so shocked Haru. Opposites attract you know." Belnika laughed.
"Yeah, but you and Iulius... it just seems so weird."
"Coming from a guy whose sister fell in love with Bakuen no Shuda" Iulius asked.
"Good point."
Iulius wrapped a hand around Belnika's waist. "Yes, I felt we weren't meant for each other as well, but..."
"Here we are" Belnika finished.
Haru had to admit, odd as it was, the two did look happy.
"I say, we have a session booked at the sauna here. Why don't you two join us and we'll fill you in."
Elie nodded. "Sounds good. I've never been in a sauna before."
"Oh you're missing out! It's a wonderful way to relax."
Belnika giggled. "We've been finding lots of things to do here..." She and Iulius flashed knowing grins at each other.
"Yes... we've been having lots of fun in the sun.."
Elie smirked. "Well, as long as you keep your clothes on. I hear that the fishermen around here like to take pictures of nudists."
Iulius and Belnika paled. "Er.. they do"
"Yeah, I heard it from a few people in the casino. They post the pics in the bait shop as the 'catch of the day'."
The newlyweds looked very nervous. "Er... why don't you and Haru meet us in the spa." Iulius took his wife's hand. "We'll meet you in a bit. We just have to see a man about... fish."
They met a fast exit, leaving a bemused Haru and Elie.
"Man, who would have thought he'd settle down.."
Elie smiled. "Stranger things have happened. Still, they look happy.."
She felt Haru take her hand in his, and looked to see him stare at her tenderly.
"You ought to be that happy. And so far, I don't think I've don't think I've done very well."
She smiled. No doubt he was feeling guilty about earlier in the pool. "Haru, it's wasn't your fault.."
"I know. But I want to make up for it." He kissed her hand. "Let's get into that sauna, and see where the mood takes us."
Elie blinked. "You're not suggesting..." She caught a wicked grin on Haru's face. "My, you have gotten bold."
"Shows you how much I want this.." He pulled her closer. "If you feel up to it.."
She kissed his nose. "Try and stop me."
-
Several minutes later, Haru was sitting in the sauna, feeling overwhelmed by the heat. Even in just a towel, this place was roasting.
"Are you sure we can't just crack open a window" He whined.
Iulius stepped over, seemingly oblivious to the heat. "Oh do stop complaining Haru. It feels lovely once you get used to it. It's invigorating, and healthy too. You can feel those excess pounds just melting away."
At that point, Iulius's towel chose that moment to slip down his waist, revealing his rear end. Haru blocked his eyes.
"Dude! I don't wanna see that"
Loud giggling could be heard from the other side of the room. He opened his eyes to see Elie and Belnika, laughing as Iulius re-tied his towel, before resuming their conversation.
At least there was one good thing about this sauna. It gave his wife, and her friend a very alluring appearance. Their hair, golden brown and light purple, hung down in limp strands around their faces. Their skin shone with a light sheen of sweat, evident on their long legs. He focused on Elie, a naughty smirk on his face on seeing how such skin her towel revealed.
He wanted her. Right now.
Belnika sighed and stood up. "Well, I'm off to the steam room. Coming darling"
"Steam room? You mean it gets even hotter" Haru gaped.
"The hotter the better. Coming" Iulius asked.
"Er.. I think Elie and me will stay here a bit longer."
"Suit yourself." Iulius and Belnika walked through an adjoining door into the steam room.
Haru moved over to Elie. "Alone at last..." He took her in his arms, kissing her deeply.
It didn't take long for Elie to strip off her towel, lay down on the floor, and pull Haru on top of her. She was surprised as Haru aggressively kissed her, his hands roaming all over her body. It felt pleasant, but not exactly like Haru.
She grasped his hands. "Hey.." He looked into her eyes. "Take it easy, there's no rush..."
He grinned sheepishly. "Sorry, couldn't stop myself.." He kissed her throat, a gentle caress. "You're so beautiful..."
Elie closed her eyes, letting herself go as Haru touched and kissed her, his hands gliding around her belly and breasts. She felt delightful, tingling with pleasure, and waited for the moment for Haru to finally take her and show her true pleasure.
She waited. And waited.
She looked up to see Haru, motionless on his hands and knees above her, a nervous look on his face.
"Haru? What's wrong" She couldn't help but sound impatient.
"I... I don't know..." He trembled.
She glared. "Well, aren't you going to..."
"Yeah, of course.." Haru steeled himself, and attempted to move against her. But he remained frozen.
"Haru... come on.. please, what's wrong" Elie pleaded, wondering if she had done something wrong.
"I er... I was thinking... someone might come in and see us." Haru managed to say.
"Oh..." Elie blushed. "It is a bit public here.."
Haru looked at the steam room door. "We could try in there, we'd be hidden in the steam." He got to his feet. "I'll make sure it's okay, then you come in."
"I'll be waiting.." She spoke softly. Haru cast one look over her body, before entering the room.
Inside, it was thick with steam. He could barely see more than a few feet ahead. Treading through the room, he finally found a bench, and sat down.
He sighed. What was wrong with him? The perfect opportunity, and he'd blown it again. Her body under his, had felt so perfect, so why had he stopped again?
Had he been too forward? Had the heat sapped his strength? Suggestions rattled through his head, followed by a sense of guilt that he'd let the woman he loved down again.
Suddenly, he felt a pair of hands on his shoulders, and was about to move, when they began to gently massage his neck.
He calmed down, feeling relaxed under the soothing motions. How nice of Elie to do this for him.
"Mmmm.." He sighed, feeling his past tension flowing away...
After a few minutes, Elie walked into the room to find Haru. Stumbling through the steam, she had only one thought on her mind: Grab Haru and screw his brains out.
She had waited all day for this. She was certain she had done nothing wrong. Haru was stalling for some reason, and she would make sure he would get over this problem of his and start enjoying sex.
She spotted a human shape in the mist, with what looked like spiky hair. Grinning, she crept up Haru, then grabbed his shoulders, spun him around, and kissed him hard.
Her lips pressed hard into his, but then she noticed. Haru's lips weren't this soft. And his face wasn't this slender.
And his hair wasn't purple.
She moved back, realizing in horror she'd grabbed the wrong person.
"Elie-chan!"
"Belnika!"
Haru felt his courage returning. This time he'd show Elie what she had been waiting for. Grabbing Elie's hands, he pulled her forward and onto her lap. He noticed she felt heavier than before..
"Oh Elie..." He breathed, moving in for the kiss.
"Nika-chan" A male voice replied.
Haru then realized Iulius was sitting on his lap.
Seconds later, a loud scream was heard through the entire coast.
