A Memorable After-Work Tryst

by Benzux

A re-imagining of events from episode two. Kazuki takes Tsukasa out to a bar, and as the night goes on the now-drunk Kazuki starts getting frisky with her subordinate, aiming to have the younger man help her out of her recent dry spell. Tsukasa tries to resist her advances at first but starts questioning his own feelings. A shameless and self-indulgent Kazuki x Tsukasa smut fic.

AN: Hello, everyone! I recently finished Plastic Memories, and enjoyed it a whole bunch. Noticing somewhat of a lack of fanfictions based on it, I decided that I'd write down the story idea I've had since we first saw Kazuki getting drunk early on in the series. And so here we are. If you didn't catch it from the rating and description, this is a smut fic, because I'll be damned if Kazuki isn't attractive as hell. You have been warned, though there is plenty of content before we get to those parts, and I think this little oneshot can still be enjoyed even if one decides to skip past the "best" bits ;)

In any case, let's get right into it!

A Memorable After-Work Tryst

"Damn it, that Tsukasa…" Michiru groaned out as she plopped down onto her seat to my right, drawing my attention away from my work. I turned to look at her curiously as she slumped down at her desk, clearly worried about something she had said or done when she and Zack had gone and picked up Tsukasa and Isla earlier. "Maybe I was too harsh..?"

"Michiru blurts out what she's thinking, then regrets it later on, doesn't she?" Michiru's partner, Zack, commented from the other side of the table with an amused smile, and his spot-on appraisal of Michiru's character brought a smile of my own onto my face. Tsukasa hasn't been here for that long, and he's already affecting the rest of us here – Michiru wouldn't be caught showing something like that in front of him, heh. Seeing Yasutaka raising his head in curiosity opposite to me, I quickly returned to my own work, content to just listening in for now.

"Hey, did you have a fight with Tsukasa or something?" Yasutaka asked from Michiru, who quickly bolted up from her slumped-over position.

"I-it's nothing like that!" Michiru countered in a louder voice, looking at Yasutaka accusingly, but he simply smiled in the same amused manner as Zack did. Yasutaka really hasn't changed much in the time he's been here… Only the target of his teasing has changed. As has the person his attitude causes headaches to, though I suppose that has always been me...

"He frustrates you because you like him, right?" Yasutaka teased Michiru further with a grin. "How innocent! I like it!" He then continued with a thumbs-up, bringing a scowl onto Michiru's face. ...I hate agreeing with Yasutaka, but he does have an eye for things like this. Michiru is definitely developing something towards Tsukasa, whether or not she realizes it herself or not. Ah, to be so young again…

My fingers stopped momentarily, hovering just above the keyboard, and had the others' attention not been on Michiru at that moment, they may have seen my brows knit into a scowl. Ugh, I'm… still young myself, of course… But… it has… been a while…A familiar feeling of frustration that had been present for quite some time, but had recently been popping up more often, began to well up inside me. An itch that I couldn't quite scratch on my own, and had nobody who could help me with scratching it.When was the last time, exactly..? Was it before or after the incident three years ago? Either way it's been too long… Ugh, stop it, Kazuki. You're at work. This is no time to be thinking about my… sex life – or rather, the lack thereof.Composing myself, I inhaled deeply through my nose and put my focus back on the report I was writing, when the sudden sound of Michiru slamming her hands down on to the desk echoed throughout the room.

"I said it's nothing like that!" Michiru shouted angrily at the two men on the opposite side of the table who had been teasing her, her glare enough to cause both Zack and Yasutaka to flinch back in fear. The pair looked at each other awkwardly, neither of them daring to speak a word under Michiru's glare, before silently going back to their own work. What a bunch of idiots, all of them. Though given my thoughts a few moments ago, I fit right in.I suppressed a sigh and watched in the corner of my eye as Michiru sat back down, closing her eyes but still scowling. Oh, right, Michiru would have seen Isla working with Tsukasa today.

"...Michiru?" I called out to the girl, and she turned to me, slightly surprised.

"H-huh? Yes?"

"How did Isla seem to you?" I asked and sent a sideways glance towards the younger girl, who seemed to just be confused by my question.

"Isla?" Michiru looked upwards in thought briefly before responding. "...Nothing about her seemed out of the usual." ...The usual, huh?

"I see." My reply was short, and I resumed work on the report while Michiru stared at me, still somewhat confused. I get the feeling that Michiru has been blaming the wrong person, here. Tsukasa is still very much a newbie, but a Spotter's job isn't a difficult one – there's not a lot of room for Tsukasa to make mistakes. I'll need to talk to him, too, though, if I want their partnership to actually work out. Just need a good time and place...

Just then, as if some otherworldly force heard my thoughts, Tsukasa walked into the office. His gait was slow, and he looked a bit unsure of himself as he glanced around the room. Looking for Isla, I presume? Bringing up the schedules on my computer, I checked that Isla had booked usage of the Unit Testing Room for tonight, meaning that she wouldn't be back here for at least a few hours – the rest of us would have likely already gone home at that point. Lifting my gaze again to look at Tsukasa, I saw his eyes landing on Michiru, and he froze in place, before he quickly looked away and rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. ...To answer your question from earlier, Michiru, yes, you may have been a bit harsh on our newbie…

"...Guess I'll go buy a drink." Tsukasa said quietly, just loud enough to reach my ears.

"Oh, you can get me a cola while you're there?" Zack – who had seemingly also heard Tsukasa's muttering – asked, and Tsukasa briefly nodded to him in return, before turning around and leaving the office again. I suppose this is my chance. Quickly finishing up the report, I sent it forward and closed my computer, before following after where Tsukasa had gone to.

Knowing the nearest vending machine was just outside the building, I headed through the familiar corridors until I found myself at the door at the back of the building. Opening it, I was greeted with the golden rays of the setting sun, casting long shadows from the buildings and trees all around me. Turning to my right, I saw Tsukasa standing in front of the vending machine with an unenergetic and somewhat somber expression on his face, staring down seemingly lost in his own thoughts. The sight made me stop for a brief moment, and a tinge of worry went through me. I wouldn't think failing to get a signature on the retrieval form and getting scolded – albeit quite strongly, knowing her – by Michiru would make him that depressed… Is there… something more..? A sudden, stray thought about embracing the young man to ease whatever worries he might have head entered my head, and I had to pause for a second to question myself. This is not what I came here to do. I shook my head to clear my thoughts and composed myself, somewhat surprised that Tsukasa hadn't yet noticed my presence – whatever he was thinking of, it must have been weighing heavily on his mind.

"Tsukasa?" I called out to the young man, my voice pulling him out of his thoughts and clearly startling him, as he turned to look at me with a surprised expression. "Are you free after work today?"

"Eh?" Waiting for his answer, I smiled widely at Tsukasa. When the answer didn't come, I glared at him instead and put a bit of force behind my next words.

"You are free, right?" Tsukasa flinched back, his look of surprise now turning into one of fear.

"Y-yes!" Tsukasa managed to squeak out, and I let out a small sigh.

"Good. I'll be taking you to a place I frequent. There's some things I want to talk to you about, but it'll be my treat." I said as I walked up to him, leaning down to pick up the drink he had ordered and handing it to him before fishing out some change from my pocket and ordering a drink for myself too. "Got that?" I asked for confirmation and sent a sideways glance at him.

"Y-yes, thank you, Kazuki-san." Tsukasa replied, and seeing him up this close, I unconsciously noted that he had a cute face – that, combined with his timid but overall sociable personality, actually made Tsukasa seem like the kind of guy who was right up my alley. Maybe this will be a chance for me to… unwind a little bit as well… As soon as I realized what my thoughts had wandered to, I quickly turned away from Tsukasa and brought a hand up to my face. Kazuki, what the hell are you thinking? He's your subordinate! No mixing work with your personal issues. Ugh, I really do need to get some… release, soon, though… "Um… Kazuki-san..?" Hearing Tsukasa's voice, I was snapped out of my thoughts and took a deep breath to calm myself, then leaned down to quickly grab the drink I had ordered.

"Ahem. Good. I'll probably take a bit longer to finish, so you can wait by my car at the parking lot." I replied, not meeting Tsukasa's gaze. Look at me, acting all embarrassed like a high school kid. Damn these stupid needs of mine… "I'll head back now. Make sure to remember!" I began to walk away from Tsukasa, turning back briefly to send him a glare, watching him nod to me before I continued on inside.

After the outer door closed behind me, I let out a sigh and opened my can of drink, taking a long sip from it. I… really need to get fucking laid, huh? Shaking my head to clear my thoughts and taking a deep breath, I started to make my way back to the office to finish up the workday.

"Bottoms up!"

"B-bottoms up…"

I glanced to the side as Kazuki brought her glass up to her lips, the red wine within disappearing into her mouth at an alarming speed. I… was under the impression wine was something you were supposed to savour… Looking down at my own glass of lemonade, I brought it up to my own lips and took a sip as well.

"Haah… that hits the spot." Kazuki said with a satisfied tone as she placed her glass back down, then sent me a sideways glance. Something about the gesture – perhaps her slightly flushed cheeks or her half-lidded eyes – seemed oddly alluring, and I felt the sudden need to look away. "Heyyy, aren't you going to drink up with me?" Kazuki then said and leaned closer to me, placing a hand on my shoulder.

"I-I told you I'm not old enough to drink yet!" I replied to her, and Kazuki narrowed her eyes at me, then sighed in disappointment as she moved away – though her hand stayed on my shoulder.

"Hmph, you really are useless…" Kazuki muttered, picking up her chopsticks and grabbing some food from her plate before stuffing it into her mouth. Maybe you shouldn't have brought me to a bar, then… "Like I said before, this is all my treat – I'd be offended if you didn't go all out!" She continued after swallowing, her hand leaving my shoulder as she poked at my cheek with her index finger.

"A-and I appreciate it, but… I'd still rather not get into any trouble by drinking alcohol at my age…" Kazuki sighed and pulled her hand back, using it to lean on the table and rest her chin on it instead.

"Yeah yeah, I get it. I was just hoping that maybe the cute new employee could be a new drinking buddy I could relax together with after work, you know?" Kazuki sent me another sideways glance and brought her glass to lips for a small sip, while I froze in place upon hearing her words. Did she just… T-that must have been accidental, right? Or then she's teasing me… Yeah, that's probably it. "Anyway… Are you managing to work together with Isla?" The sudden question surprised me somewhat, and I looked to see Kazuki now wearing a more serious expression on her face – though the blush that signified her tipsy state was still present, and provided an honestly attractive contrast to her usual look.

"A-ah, well…" Catching myself staring at Kazuki, I couldn't really come up with a proper answer to her question and instead let my gaze fall downwards. I… think we are at least… managing for now, but…

"You're not sure what she's thinking, right? She… does have her quirks." Kazuki also cast her gaze downwards, tracing the edge of her wine glass with her slender finger, and I inexplicably found my eyes drawn to the motion.

"Do you… think you could tell me about Isla? You used to be her partner, right?" I asked after catching myself staring at her hand, and Kazuki's finger stopped, her eyes moving to meet mine again for a moment, before she looked down at her wine again, lifting the glass up and examining it with a somewhat somber look on her face.

"Even if I told you, it wouldn't do any good. If you two don't see eye to eye, there's nothing to be done." She replied and set down her glass again, my eyes following suit as I looked down at the table, her words discouraging me somewhat.

"I… understand that, but…" Suddenly, I felt an arm around my shoulders as Kazuki pulled me closer to her. The close physical contact caused a blush to creep onto my face, but Kazuki simply grinned. Is… the alcohol making her more… 'grabby'?

"Don't look so sad about it." As Kazuki spoke, I could feel her breath on my cheek and the smell of her wine entered my nostrils. All the while, her hand around my shoulder seemed to be idly caressing my upper arm. W-what exactly is she..? "I do feel bad about it, you know. For forcing her onto you, I mean. When you guys mess up, it's pretty much always Isla, right?" I looked Kazuki in the eyes, her expression urging me to answer.

"Well… yes. Michiru said she was a veteran at this stuff, but… She seems to clam up at the crucial moments, as if she was more of a newbie than I am." Kazuki nodded along as I explained things to her.

"Yeah, I know. Like I said, she has her quirks, but you should… still try to get along with her. Isla can seem aloof and keep you at arms length, but… Trust me when I say there's more to her than that. I can't tell you what she's like – you'll have to find that out for yourself – but that's what I can give you." Kazuki said with a smile, then reached for her wine glass again and took a sip. Up this close, I found my eyes wandering to her lips, and felt my heartbeat accelerating. No! Kazuki-san is giving me serious advice right now! I-it's her fault anyway for holding me this close...

"T-thank you, Kazuki-san. I… I do want to get closer to Isla, and get to know her better." I managed to say with confidence, and Kazuki paused to look at me for a moment.

"Tsukasa…" She quietly said my name, and her tone caused a shiver to go through me. W-what is up with her tonight, seriously? Is she that much of a lightweight that this little alcohol is making her act this weird..? Or is it all to just tease me?

A few seconds passed in silence as her purple eyes gazed deeply into mine, and I felt my face getting hotter as my heartbeat accelerated again – as a healthy, eighteen-year-old guy, I couldn't help my reaction. I would be lying if I said I didn't find Kazuki to be an attractive woman, and with such a pretty older lady being so physically close to me, my head was practically spinning. I watched as Kazuki gently placed her glass back on the table, before she brought her now-free hand up to my face. W-what is she… doing now? I felt a tingle go through me as her fingers touched my cheek, while her eyes quivered, and I found myself swallowing nervously.

Her eyes and the look on her face changed in an instant as she suddenly – and quite painfully – pinched my cheek between her fingers and twisted it.

"Owowow!" I groaned out in pain and tried to dislodge myself from Kazuki's grip, but she instead used the arm still around my shoulders to bring me closer to her.

"What are you, a lolicon?" She asked in an accusatory tone.

"N-no, I'm not!" I quickly refuted her claim, and she finally let go of my cheek – though still kept a firm grip on my shoulder so I couldn't move away. As I brought a hand up to my face to gently rub my cheek, Kazuki leaned closer to me again, then whispered in my ear.

"Why don't I show you the charms only a mature woman can offer, then?"

"...H-huh?" I stared at Kazuki in disbelief, unsure if I had heard her correctly. My heart was racing in my chest, while my brain was going at least twice as fast trying to comprehend what she had just said to me. T-that… must have been… a j-joke, right..? I felt my cheeks heating up as I stared Kazuki in the eyes, until she grinned at me, then reared her head back in laughter.

"Ahahahaa! That look on your face, Tsukasa – absolute gold!" Kazuki exclaimed loudly, loosening her hold on me enough to allow me to pull away from her, though she quickly leaned back in and pulled my face close to hers again. "Did I make your heat skip a beat? Did you get… excited?" She then asked from me in a lower tone, grinning as I swallowed nervously. R-right, of course it was just her teasing…

"K-Kazuki-san, you're… quite d-drunk." I replied to her, and Kazuki scowled, finally letting go of me as she leaned back and grabbed her glass of wine, drinking down the rest of its contents in one go. That's all this is, she's just gotten drunk. I mean, there's no way a woman like Kazuki-san would be… i-interested in me normally. A-and I'm the new employee, so she's just teasing me. Having come to a satisfying conclusion regarding Kazuki's actions so far, I internally released a sigh of relief.

"...Drunk or not, the offer's still very much on the table…" Kazuki said quietly, and I had to yet again question my ears as confusion filled me. "Gah, I need a refill…" She then muttered and reached for the wine bottle to pour herself another glass. So… is it… just because she's drunk, or… is being drunk bringing this out..?

The thought awoke conflicting feelings in me. In the case of the former, I would have felt relieved, but also partly… disappointed. And in the case of the latter… the implications both scared and excited me. I honestly would have felt flattered if it was the case, as the mere thought that Kazuki – a woman who I'd deem well out of my league – saw me in that way made my heart beat almost as fast as it had been beating moments prior when Kazuki had teased (..?) me. And yet, at the same time, the prospect made a chill go through my spine. I had no prior experience with romance, let alone with a woman who could have been almost a decade older than me – I didn't know her precise age, but she definitely didn't look or feel over thirty – and who was currently my boss at my new workplace.

Thinking of the possibility that Kazuki wasn't just teasing me or saying things because she was drunk was also… confusing my own feelings. I thought – believed – that at this point in time… I was in love with Isla. Due to my aforementioned lack of romantic experience, however... I couldn't quite tell how deep those feelings were – was what I felt towards Isla just a passing crush, or something more? And while they were what brought this conundrum into my mind in the first place, Kazuki's words certainly weren't helping me in figuring things out.

"...Hey, Tsukasa." Kazuki suddenly calling out to me pulled me out of my thoughts, and I turned to meet her gaze as she looked at me, her expression back to a more serious one – though she did lift an eyebrow in surprise when my eyes met hers. "Huh, I actually got your attention. You were staring off into space again. Is there… something on your mind, Tsukasa? I can… listen, you know." I opened my mouth to reply, but nothing came out, her words having surprised me.

It wasn't necessarily the offer that surprised me – Kazuki, while somewhat forceful, had shown to be a caring and understanding boss so far – but the stark contrast how she had been moments prior made it unexpected. Not to mention I was still processing the prior events in my head. This… would also suggest that despite her obviously drunk state, Kazuki-san still holds some of her rationality… But how can I know what things are drunk rambling and what are her genuine thoughts..? Realizing that Kazuki was still waiting for an answer, I closed my mouth and averted my eyes from her.

"W-well…" I finally managed to say, trying to think of what to continue with quickly. Considering what I had been thinking of when she asked… D-definitely not something I speak to her about right now! "I-it's nothing you need to concern yourself with, Kazuki-san. I'm… thankful of your advice regarding Isla." I glanced at Kazuki, who narrowed her eyes at me, perhaps not quite convinced by my words. We held eye contact for a second or two, before she sighed in resignation, then took a sip of her wine.

"If you don't want to say, fine. Just don't get so hung up on things that it starts affecting your work." Kazuki replied, swirling the wine in her glass for a few moments before taking another sip. "Ugh, is it just me or is it getting a bit too hot in here..?" Kazuki put her glass back down onto the table and looked down at herself, her fingers grasping the edge of her shirt above her chest and tugging on it. My eyes were drawn to the motion, which then inadvertently drew my attention to her chest. Feeling my face heating up as I caught myself staring, I quickly turned away from my boss, bringing a hand to cover my face as I felt my heart hammering in my chest. N-no! I can't stare at her like that! She's drunk and more… vulnerable right now. I have more self-control than that! "Hm? Tsukasa..?"

"A-ah, sorry, I-" Before I could finish my sentence, I was interrupted by Kazuki grabbing me by the shoulders again and pulling me to her. This time, though, she brought me much lower than previously, and I felt the side of my face pressing up against the softness of her chest. T-t-this is..!

"Haaah? What was that? Were you hoping to catch a little peek, hm?" Kazuki said as I struggled against her, but the older woman's hold around my neck was strong, and she only pulled me closer to her. Kazuki's womanly scent, mixing in with the smell of the alcohol she had been drinking, entered my nostrils and made my light-headed, while my cheeks burned from having my face being mushed against her clothed breasts. "You like that, Tsukasa? Were you perhaps thinking of my offer just now, and that's why you were so deep in thought?" Accompanying Kazuki's words were exhales of warm breath that tingled my scalp, and very quickly I felt myself getting hot – my face wasn't the only part of my body that blood was rushing to at that moment.

"K-Kazuki-san… L-let me go, w-we can't…" I protested, trying my best to ignore all the sensations I was receiving and the information my senses were sending to my brain about Kazuki's body, but to seemingly no avail. After a few moments, Kazuki's grip loosened enough to allow me to escape, and I watched as the woman before me leaned against the table, resting her chin atop her palm. Her half-lidded eyes held within them an emotion I couldn't quite decipher, and her mouth was set into an amused grin. Her cheeks seemed more flushed than before, and I wasn't quite sure if it was just because of the alcohol. I had managed to free myself from her grip, and yet, for some reason…

...I couldn't move my eyes away.

The way Kazuki looked at me, and the way she looked, was drawing me in. It could have just been all of my raging hormones, but at that moment, Kazuki looked absolutely enthralling. This… is bad. This is really bad. I found myself swallowing, and after who knows how long, I finally managed to tear my eyes away from Kazuki, then swiftly stood up from my seat.

"I-I need to go to the toilet!" I hastily said to Kazuki, surprised I had even managed to get the words out, and without waiting for a response, sprinted away towards the bathroom.

After entering a toilet stall and locking the door behind myself, I leaned against it and let out a long sigh. Bringing a hand to my chest, I could still feel my heart beating rapidly, though thankfully the bigger problem I had downstairs was already… settling back down. Kazuki-san is getting dangerously drunk… Though, then again, I don't really know how much of her actions are genuine… Groaning in frustration, I took a few deep breaths to calm myself and clear my head, then unzipped my trousers to relieve my bladder. Hold on a second… Even if she is staying at least partly rational… We did still come here by car. And Kazuki-san is definitely in no shape to drive right now. Faced with a new dilemma, I finished my business and cleaned myself up, then took out my phone. ...Maybe Michiru will be able to help. Finding the number of my coworker in my contacts list and calling it, I moved to the corner of the bathrooms to have at least a small measure of privacy. I didn't have to wait for long until the call connected and Michiru's familiar voice and face greeted me.

"Tsukasa? What's the matter?" Seeing Michiru's face on the holographic screen surprised me somewhat, as the glasses that now framed her eyes and the braided hair were a new look to me, but I quickly shook myself out of it to respond.

"Ah, hey, Michiru. I was, uh, wondering if you… knew where Kazuki-san lived?" I asked from her, averting my eyes briefly.

"Kazuki-san? You… went out to eat with her today after work, didn't you?" She asked from me in return, and I gave her a nod and a sound of confirmation. "I do, yes. Unlike the rest of us who live in the company dormitory, she has a place not too far from the office where she lives with Constance. Why are you asking?"

"Well… you see… Kazuki-san didn't exactly take me out to just eat, she… took me to a bar, ahahaa…" I laughed awkwardly as I rubbed the back of my neck, and I saw Michiru's expression turn to one of surprise, before she sighed and rubbed her temple.

"...Let me guess, she's drunk?" Michiru asked, and I nodded to her. "Haah… Kazuki-san has always been a lightweight… And what is she thinking? You're not old enough to drink yet, so why would she bring you to a bar of all places? I swear…" I laughed awkwardly as I watched Michiru groan out in frustration. Well, it's not like you're old enough to drink either, though...

"Was she… like this with you as well when you were new?" I inquired, feeling it surprisingly easy to talk to Michiru in this manner, despite the earful she had given me earlier in the day.

"Not really, I guess? I mean, she hasn't changed much in a year, but she never took me to a bar or anything. Is she giving you any trouble?" I felt my cheeks heating up slightly at the question, and my reaction did not go unnoticed, if Michiru's narrowed eyes were anything to go by.

"N-no, nothing like that. Just… Well, we came here with her car, but we might have to leave it if I have to walk her home, since I don't have a license…" I managed to deflect the question and bring in my main concern, and thankfully, if Michiru had noticed anything off about my reaction, she didn't press it.

"Hmm… Hold on a sec." Michiru turned away from the screen momentarily. "Zack! Could you come here for a moment?" A distant, drawn-out 'Haaaaaaaai' could be heard, and after a few moments, Zack's face appeared behind Michiru's, the giftia's eyes widening once he saw who she was chatting with.

"Oh? What's this? Having a late-night call with your boyfriend to tell each other goodnight?" Zack teased, and Michiru's face became flushed, and even I felt myself blushing slightly. Zack's comment, however, made me pay attention to the time, and while it wasn't exactly 'late-night' yet, I did notice that we had spent quite a bit of time at the bar already. The sun was already setting when we left from work, so it's definitely dark outside already.

"I-It's nothing like that, Zack! Kazuki-san took Tsukasa out to a bar and got herself drunk. They went there by car, but Kazuki-san can't drive in her current state." Michiru explained to Zack, then turned back to me. "Is Kazuki-san completely out or can she still walk?"

"Ah, no, she's not passed out or anything, and… s-seems to have at least some of her rationality intact, but… I wouldn't trust her behind the wheel." I explained in turn, and Michiru nodded to me.

"Hmmm… Alright. Zack, you can go pick them up, right?" Michiru turned to Zack again, who groaned in annoyance, but then shrugged.

"I'd have to walk over to the bar, or check the train schedules, but once I'm there I can take Kazuki-san's car to drop her off. You and me will have to walk back home after that, though, Tsukasa." Zack said to me, and I nodded.

"That's fine by me, as long as we can get Kazuki-san back home safely. I can text you the address of the bar, and then we'll wait for you to come by?" Zack and Michiru nodded to me, and I smiled back at them. "Great. I'll see you soon, Zack."

"Yeah, see you soon. You owe me one for helping out your boyfriend, Michiru." Zack said with a grin as he began to move away.

"W-we are not in that kind of relationship, Zack!" Michiru snapped back at her roommate angrily.

"Future boyfriend, then." I could hear Zack's voice in the background, and Michiru's face exploded into crimson, and despite technically being one of the two currently being teased by the blonde giftia, even I felt a smile of amusement growing onto my face.

"What are you grinning about, you creep?" I flinched as I heard Michiru's voice again, and saw her scowling at me.

"A-ah, sorry, I… n-nothing!" I quickly refuted, and Michiru narrowed her eyes at me, before sighing. "...I'd, uh… better get back to Kazuki-san before anything happens. So, um… I guess this is… good night?"

"...Sorry." Michiru's voice was quiet, and her eyes were averted from her screen as she spoke.

"Huh? Come… again?" Michiru's eyebrows knitted together in annoyance, and her eyes flicked back to me.

"I-I said I'm sorry! For… earlier today. I… might have been a bit too harsh. Y-you should still be mindful to not repeat the same mistakes you've done before, but… I'm sorry." Michiru's sudden apology, as well as he unusual meekness caught me off-guard, and I would be lying if I didn't find the latter to be endearing. Michiru… "A-anyway, I hope things go well with Kazuki-san, a-and goodnight!" Before I could even react, let alone respond, Michiru had cut the call, and I was left alone in the corner of the bathroom. Well… I suppose that is good to know… I should get back to Kazuki-san now, though.

Pocketing my phone, I exited the bathrooms and began to make my way back to where I had left Kazuki. A part of me was dreading returning back to her, as I was unsure what more I would have to endure before Zack arrived and we could leave, but I also couldn't deny that another part of me was… excited, somewhat. I tried to push that part away, but as a young man, I couldn't help but enjoy the attention that Kazuki had given me so far, even if it might have just been because she was drunk. As I returned to our table, however, I saw something that made me stop in my tracks.

"What's a beauty like you doing, drinking alone? Would you like some company?"

Standing in front of the table Kazuki and I had been sitting at was a tall man, his jet-black hair ending just past his shoulders. He wore a cocky grin on his face as he looked down at Kazuki with an extended hand, a glass of beer occupying the other, while Kazuki herself was avoiding looking at the man, a slight scowl on her face. It was clear as day that while I was gone, this man had seen Kazuki alone and decided to start hitting on her. As I was watching the scene from afar, an unfamiliar feeling began to well up in me, and I felt my hand clutching into a fist. Before I could even realize what I was doing, my feet were rapidly taking me back towards our table.

"She already has company, I think you'll find."

The man turned to look at me with a surprised expression as I took my seat next to Kazuki, meeting his gaze with a stern expression. To my right, I could see Kazuki looking at me with almost an equal amount of surprise. The surprise on both their faces only increased when I reached my hand towards Kazuki's laying on the table, gently placing mine atop hers. The physical contact caused my heartrate to spike, but I kept cool and stared down the man who had been trying to hit on Kazuki.

After getting over his initial shock, the man looked between Kazuki and I and narrowed his eyes. To my right, I could spot Kazuki blinking in her own confusion, before she grinned, turning her hand around and interlacing our fingers as she leaned closer to me, resting her head on my shoulder.

"That's right! So if you could kindly fuck off, we'd appreciate that." The man flinched at Kazuki's surprisingly harsh language, then looked to me again. He held eye contact with me for a second or two, then clicked his tongue and turned away from us. Briefly, I heard him mutter something along the lines of 'into younger guys' under his breath, before he vacated to another part of the bar.

As soon as he had left my field of view, I let out a breath I didn't realize I had been holding, and everything that had just happened caught up to me. What… did I just do..? Why did… that make me feel this way..?

"Tsu~ka~sa~!" Kazuki's sing-song voice had a darker edge to it, and I felt a shiver go through me as I slowly turned to face her. "That was so bold and manly of you. I kinda like it…" Kazuki practically breathed the words out, speaking in a sensual tone that made my cheeks heat up slightly, before she suddenly gripped onto my hand – which I now realized was still interlocked with hers – tighter than before, enough to cause me some pain. "...But I don't think I gave you permission to act out on the offer I put out onto the table before~!"

"Owowow! I-I'm sorry!" I cried out and tried to let go of Kazuki's hand, but she seemed to have other plans, keeping her fingers interlaced with mine – though she did stop squeezing so hard. "I-I'm not really sure… why I did it myself, ahahaa…" I then said with an awkward laugh, and Kazuki averted her eyes from me.

"...It was very sweet of you." She muttered, and I once again had to do a double-take to confirm if I'd heard her correctly. I'm really going to get whiplash from how quickly Kazuki-san is switching between different moods… "I could have taken care of him myself, but I do appreciate you stepping in for me. I might have broken something that either belonged to him or to this bar if that had gone on for a bit longer." Kazuki explained, reaching for her wine glass with her free hand and taking a sip.

"Does this… happen often?" I carefully asked while trying to dislodge my hand from Kazuki's grip, but she seemed quite insistent on keeping our fingers interlocked. I didn't particularly mind it, as the warmth of her hand felt quite pleasing, but it did embarrass me, and the fact that I was holding hands with an attractive, older woman certainly accelerated my heartbeat, while also making it hard to look Kazuki in the eyes.

"Practically all the time when I'm alone, though I really only drink enough to get drunk when I'm with someone else." Michiru did say you were quite a lightweight, though, and confirming that with what I've seen today, getting you drunk doesn't really require much... "I've learned to deal with it, and most men leave with just a glare from me. Sometimes insistent fuckers like him show up, though, and it can be a pain to deal with. None of them are ever my type anyway – those that are, aren't the kinds to make the first move like that." Kazuki explained, lifting up her wine glass and examining it lazily as she swirled around the liquid within it. Her words caused a spark of curiosity to rise within me, and given the events of our outing so far, I felt the urge to indulge in that curiosity, perhaps in hope of it giving me some peace of mind.

"So… your type is… the more reserved types, then?" Kazuki's hand froze in place, and I swallowed nervously as I watched her turn her gaze to me. Placing her glass back down, she leaned closer to me, and I felt my cheeks heating up more and more the closer she got.

"Wouldn't you like to know, Tsukasa?" Kazuki whispered to me, and I felt a chill go down my spine.

"I-I was just a bit curious, hahaa…" I quickly pulled away from her and looked away, seeing Kazuki grin in the corner of my eye. Ugh, I need to change the topic before things get any more out of hand… Unconsciously glancing down at our still-interlocked hands – why she hadn't let go of me yet, I didn't know – I cleared my throat and spoke again. "Oh, I… also called Michiru. Seeing as you're… not in any shape to drive, Zack is going to come and pick us up. He… should be on his way now." I turned back and saw Kazuki scowling at me.

"Cutting my evening out short, huh? Well… I'm not dumb enough to drive in this state anyway, so… thanks, I guess." Kazuki replied with a sigh, then took another sip of her wine. "Buuuuut… I so wanted to spend more time with you, Tsukasa!" Kazuki finally let go of my hand, and I took the chance to quickly pull it back, only to find myself being pulled into her embrace again as Kazuki wrapped her arm around my shoulders again. "Won't you keep me company for the rest of the night?" Blushing at the potential implications behind the words – whether they were on purpose or not – I tried to keep myself away from Kazuki's bosom this time, not wanting to repeat what had happened before.

"I-I'll be escorting you home, but that's it!" I replied, and Kazuki loosened her hold on me. She looked me in the eyes for a few moments, scrutinizing me with her gaze, then let go completely.

"...Boring. You could indulge me a little, at least." Kazuki said in annoyance, while I let out an awkward laugh and a sigh, then looked away from her, my cheeks still burning. It… really is hard to tell what's drunken rambling and what's not…

Afterwards, we fell into a somewhat awkward silence, only occasionally broken by Kazuki saying something or other, or getting touchy with me again. While we waited for Zack to arrive, we were also able to focus on our food – which had been largely left untouched until now – and it gave me the chance to be "alone" with my thoughts again.

Kazuki's actions had already given me some conflicting feelings, and now I could add some of my own actions onto the list. The feeling that had welled up in me when I had seen that man trying to hit on Kazuki… I didn't quite understand it, as it was not something I had really felt before. My actions following it I could somewhat explain as me simply acting in the heat of the moment and looking out for my boss – I would hardly want her to end up being taken advantage of by a man while drunk – and that was what brought me the most peace of mind. However, given this unfamiliar feeling, it didn't quite feel like the right reason. After taking the time to analyze it, eventually it clicked.

The feeling was jealousy.

Seeing another man trying to get close to Kazuki, and the possibility – no matter how small – that she reciprocated, made me feel jealous. Similarly, the thought of someone laying their hands on Kazuki while taking advantage of her drunken state made me not only angry, but also partly jealous. And, when Kazuki had interlaced our fingers and drove off the man trying to hit on her, I had felt a sense of pride, as if I had been the one to get "chosen". It was petty, and made me feel ridiculous, but having come to the conclusion, nothing else made more sense. I hadn't known Kazuki for long, but the attention she had given me during this outing – as well as the possibility that said affection was coming from somewhere genuine – made me feel good about myself, enough to make me feel like I wanted to be the only person she showed such attention to.

Still, I was conflicted on the matter. Just like I had begun questioning my feelings for Isla, I wasn't sure if these feelings would last past tonight. Would I walk into the office tomorrow, feeling nothing special towards Kazuki, and we'd both move on from today's events? Or would they persist, gnawing at the back of my mind every time I looked at Kazuki? Right now, I couldn't say for sure, and that made it all the more difficult to decide what to do about them. The logical thing to do would be to wait and see how things went, but if – if – there was the slimmest of chances for me to… gain something right here and right now… would I be squandering those chances by waiting?

I didn't let my internal struggles show on my face (or at least, I did my best to do so), so Kazuki was completely unaware of the affect her actions had on me. At least, she was unaware of the internal conflict she was causing, as it was plenty clear to her that her drunken… flirting was visibly embarrassing me, given how she reacted. By the time Zack arrived, though, she had calmed down substantially – mainly due to the fact that all the alcohol had now made her sleepy.

"Well, isn't that awfully cute." Zack's first words to us as he arrived were in clear reaction to the fact that Kazuki was at that point leaning on my shoulder for support in a half-asleep state. "Should I snag a pic and send it to Michiru?" He then asked me with a grin.

"...Please don't. I don't think Kazuki-san would ever let you or me off the hook after that." I replied to him, then lightly shook Kazuki to wake her.

"Fair point. I saw her car outside, so… you ready to go?" I nodded to Zack, then shook Kazuki a little more, earning a grumble and a scowl from her.

"Mmm… Tsukasa..?" Kazuki opened her eyes and looked up at me, the scene appearing quite endearing, and I had to do my best to suppress the blush from rising to my face.

"Zack's here, it's time to get you home." Kazuki narrowed her eyes at me, then looked towards Zack, who smiled and waved at her. "He'll drive us to your place, so he'll need your car keys." Lifting her head from my shoulder, Kazuki rubbed her forehead with one hand and fished her keys out of her pocket with the other, handing them towards Zack, who took them from her. "Alright, let's go. Can you walk, Kazuki-san?" Kazuki nodded to me, then started to rise from her chair, only to stop halfway, pause for a moment, then sitting back down and looking at me expectantly.

"...No, I can't. I need you to princess carry me, Tsukasa." Kazuki said to me, a grin adorning her flushed face.

"P-princess-!" I felt my own cheeks heating up, and glancing to the side, I could see Zack now also grinning at me. I… don't think I'll ever be hearing the end of Zack's teasing regarding tonight… Suppressing a sigh, I looked at Kazuki again. "Come on, I'll help you to the car – but I'm not carrying you." Kazuki pouted at me – an unexpected and very endearing expression – but complied with my request, and I helped her stand up. Once Kazuki was steady on her feet, the three of us began to make our way outside.

As we stepped outside the bar, the cool evening air hit my skin, a stark contrast to the warmth of the inside. Like I had surmised earlier, it was already dark, though our surroundings were lit by a combination of the artificial light of the streetlamps and the natural light of the moon, which shone high in the night sky. The fresh air and pleasant coolness seemed to sober up Kazuki somewhat, as her steps on our way to her car were lighter than when we had been inside. I helped her into the back seat of her car as Zack took his place at the wheel and adjusted the seat to accommodate someone of his height, but as I tried to move away to sit at the front seat, Kazuki grabbed onto my hand, clearly wanting me to sit next to her at the back instead. While adjusting the rear-view mirror, Zack sent me a grin, and I returned the gesture with a sheepish smile, before scooting over past Kazuki and taking my seat next to her.

"How much did she have?" Zack asked once we were on the road, glancing at me through the rear-view mirror while he entered the address for Kazuki's home into the GPS.

"An entire bottle." I replied. "Not all at once, though. Thankfully."

"I could have… had a lot more!" Kazuki protested, and I merely sighed.

"You would probably be passed out by now if I didn't let you have some of my lemonade earlier." Kazuki sent a glare my way, but didn't say anything.

"Well, at least it sounds like you two had some fun. And a whole bottle without dropping is a new record – I'll have to tell Yasutaka tomorrow." Zack commented from the driver's seat, and Kazuki seemed to scowl at the mention of Yasutaka's name. I… can definitely see why he gets on Kazuki-san's nerves, if he really is as much of a… playboy as he seems to be.

It didn't take long for our car ride to be over, as we found ourselves at the parking lot of the apartment building where Kazuki lived. By this point, Kazuki had sobered up somewhat, and was able to direct Zack to the correct parking space. Shortly afterwards, the three of us were standing just outside the car, with Kazuki leaning onto me for support.

"So, I guess that's my job done." Zack said as he handed Kazuki's car keys back to her. "Should I wait for you while you escort her inside, Tsukasa?" He then asked from me, and I shook my head in return.

"You don't have to do that. I can make it home on my own, I'll just make sure Kazuki-san gets in safely." Zack nodded to me, then grinned mischievously.

"Just make sure you actually get home, and aren't held back by anything." I felt my cheeks heating up slightly at Zack's teasing, and averted my gaze from him. "Is Constance home?" Zack then asked, his question directed at Kazuki.

"Probably. Maybe. I don't know. Constance knows to give me space whenever I come home… like this, and he tends to go to bed early, so who knows if he's actually around or not." Kazuki replied while rubbing her temple.

"Well well, sounds like more time for just the two of you, then." Zack replied teasingly. "In all seriousness, though, make sure she gets home alright, Tsukasa." Directing his gaze to me, I nodded to Zack, and he smiled at me, then waved at the two of us. "Well, I'll get back home, then. Don't want to keep Michiru waiting too long. Good night, you two."

"Good night, Zack."

"Good… night."

After watching the blonde giftia leave us, I turned to Kazuki, and now that we were alone again, I was suddenly very conscious of her close proximity. Taking a deep breath to calm myself to the best of my ability, I began to escort Kazuki over to the elevator that would take us into the apartment complex itself. On the way, I felt Kazuki clinging to me quite closely, and my heartrate was steadily higher than it normally would be. Just need to… stay calm. Soon, I'll drop off Kazuki and make sure she gets to bed. If Constance is around, he'll be able to take care of her. Then we can put this outing and… everything that happened during it behind us. The thought was meant to reassure myself, but I couldn't help but feel a twinge of disappointment as well. I couldn't tell whether or not my… newfound feelings were going to last until tomorrow, but at this moment, they definitely made the thought of separating from Kazuki quite a painful one.

After our elevator ride, Kazuki lead me to her apartment, fumbling around with the keys for a minute before finally managing to open the door, and I escorted her inside. Kazuki's apartment was quite spacious, though with the lights turned off, I couldn't quite make out all the details. Instead of turning on the lights, Kazuki – still escorted by me – went over to the windows and opened the blinds, letting in some of the light from the outside so we could see our surroundings.

"...Looks like Constance is asleep, I guess..?" I commented as I glanced around, seeing no light peeking from under any of the doors I could see.

"...I need water. And a piss." Caught off-guard by Kazuki's bluntness, I froze for a moment, before quickly catching myself as Kazuki began to make her way to the kitchen.

"A-ah, right, of course. I'll… help you out, and get you… i-into bed, alright?" In the darkness, I couldn't quite see Kazuki's face, but she nodded to me, then began to pour herself a glass of water. Internally, I noted that there really was no need for me to go this far to help Kazuki, and that she could probably make it on her own from here, but a small part of me didn't want to let go of her just yet. This really is… ridiculous. But, if I really am going to just forget and move on from this by tomorrow… I might as well draw it out as much as possible.

After Kazuki had finished her glass of water, I escorted her to the bathroom, then waited outside. Kazuki had teased me about escorting her all the way inside before entering, which told me that the lingering effects of her drunkenness were still there. As I was waiting for her to finish, my thoughts drifted back to her "offer" from before, and I once again found myself questioning whether or not it was just more drunken, flirty teasing, or if there really was something else behind it. In those few short minutes that felt like hours, my imagination went wild, and by the time Kazuki reappeared, I was glad she hadn't turned on the lights, as she undoubtedly would have been greeted by the sight of my red-as-tomato face. Just… calm down. This will all be over shortly.

"...That one is Constance's, and this one is mine." Kazuki said as she directed me to her bedroom. Can't hear anything from the other one, so it is possible Constance is already asleep, like she said before… Opening the door, I was greeted by a rather unimpressive bedroom, with Kazuki's surprisingly wide bed being situated right next to the door. Kazuki first reached for the light switch, but then paused, before moving over to the bed and turning on a smaller lamp on the bedside table instead, illuminating the room. An awkward silence ensued as Kazuki sat down on the edge of her bed, with me standing at the foot of it.

"I… guess I should start… heading home, then." I finally said to break the silence that had lasted for a couple of minutes. Before I could move, though, Kazuki's hand grabbed onto my wrist, and I flinched in surprise, then froze in place. "K-Kazuki...san..?" I looked at the older woman, but her eyes were averted from me, and her only response seemed to be tightening her hold on my wrist.

"… To hell with it. My... offer." Kazuki muttered quietly. Her… offer? I started to feel my heartbeat accelerating as my brain instantly realized what she had meant, but I kept my cool to the best of my ability. Is she… still a little drunk, or..? When Kazuki's eyes finally met mine after several long seconds of silence, I swallowed down my growing nervousness before replying.

"W-what offer..?" I asked her, and saw Kazuki's eyebrows knitting together, her grip on my wrist tightening again.

"Don't… act so stupid, Tsukasa. You know." Kazuki said and averted her eyes again. W-what's with her being so meek all of a sudden..? Is she… was she… serious about that..?

"I-I… don't really…" I began, still figuring out how I should respond, when Kazuki's head snapped to look at me, her expression telling me that she was very much angry at me. Using her grip on my wrist to her advantage, Kazuki pulled me towards her, and the next thing I knew I was lying down on Kazuki's bed while she positioned herself above me, supporting herself with her arms situated on either side of my head. "K-K-Kazuki-san..!" W-what the hell is this situation?! Staring up at Kazuki's fierce eyes from this position, an odd feeling welled up inside me, and I felt my heartbeat rapidly accelerating as blood rushed to my cheeks.

"I said… don't play dumb." Kazuki said to me forcefully, and I swallowed nervously. "I'll say it again. My… offer from earlier… is still on the table. And… I want you to keep me company tonight." Kazuki's words only made my cheeks hotter, and in the dim light, I could see a blush on her face as well. Is… she for real right now?

"K-Kazuki-san… A-are you… still drunk..?" I managed to ask, and Kazuki scowled again, then leaned her head closer to me, the smell of alcohol still lingering on her.

"I'm sober enough, Tsukasa." My name leaving her lips caused a tingle to go through me, and it felt like my heart was going to burst out of my chest.

"T-then, was that… was it all… did you…" I knew what I wanted to ask, but couldn't quite put it into words. I had asked the same question from myself in my head several times already, but actually asking it out loud, from Kazuki herself, made the whole thing feel so… real. I wanted to know the answer, but I was scared of what that answer would be – no matter which way it went. Kazuki watched me closely as I struggled to formulate a proper question, then smiled in amusement.

"...I may have been drunk back at the bar, and acted not much like myself, as one tends to do when drunk." Kazuki moved one of her hands to my face, and I jumped slightly as her fingers made contact with my cheek. "...And even with my mind less cloudy than before, I might still be drunk right now. But being drunk just means that all your inhibitions are washed away, more or less. It makes you more… open about your… desires." Kazuki's slender fingers gently caressed my face, sending a tingling sensation all throughout my body.

"A-and that means…" Kazuki's fingers stopped, and she instead cupped my cheek.

"I'll just say it to you directly." Kazuki grinned at me, then leaned closer to my ear as she whispered her next words. "I need to get laid. Badly. And you happened to appear the perfect time, Tsukasa. You and that cute face of yours." Kazuki pulled back enough to look me in the eyes, and saw a healthy blush covering her cheeks – though given how hot my own face felt and how fast my heart was beating, I was sure that out of the two of us, I was the one blushing the most. "So, how about it? Should I show you what a mature woman is capable of? All you have to do in return… is to satisfy me." I opened my mouth to answer, but stopped, unsure of what to actually say. Should I… g-go for it?

Kazuki had clearly sobered up somewhat, and had answered the questions I had had about her actions so far – not to even mention that she was now directly offering me the opportunity to… sleep with her. An increasingly larger part of me wanted to accept her offer, but there was still another part of me that felt wrong about this whole thing. We were still boss and employee, Kazuki was an adult while I was barely legal. Then there was also the matter of my feelings. I was still confused as to what exactly I felt towards Kazuki, and how deep my feelings for Isla were.

In addition to the internal issues, we also weren't quite alone.

"..W-what about Constance?" I asked quietly after what must have been at least a minute of silence, deciding to lead with the issue easiest to vocalize. Kazuki let out a small chuckle, her hand – which was still cupping my cheek – beginning to softly caress my face.

"He won't wake from his charging station that easily. Besides… it makes things more exciting. All you need to do is keep quiet." Kazuki smiled at me devilishly, and I swallowed nervously. "Nobody needs to know. This can be… something that stays between you and me, Tsukasa." Kazuki had been plenty seductive so far, but now her gaze dropped and expression changed somewhat. "I...I need this, Tsukasa. It's… been so long, and… well, like I said, you're perfect for this right now." Demurely, Kazuki met my gaze again, and the stark contrast of her sudden meekness when compared to her usual self made my heart skip a beat. "...I've gone so long without a… partner not just because I haven't met anyone who was to my liking, but also because I couldn't trust anyone with this. Until you. So… please, Tsukasa. Keep me company tonight." Kazuki's voice was barely audible, and her honest confession began breaking down the last of my inhibitions.

The part of me that still thought doing this would be wrong on some level, the part that still held onto my possible feelings for Isla, was silenced by the now much larger part of me that doubted those feelings and wanted to see where things could go with Kazuki.

"...A-alright, Kazuki-san." a relieved smile appeared on Kazuki's face, which swiftly morphed into a predatory one as she leaned closer to me again with a glint in her eyes.

"...Thank you, Tsukasa." Kazuki thanked me right before she closed her eyes and her lips connected with mine.

Never would I have expected that my first kiss would be in a situation like this, but that didn't take away from the experience at all. Kazuki's kiss was aggressive as she mashed her lips against mine hungrily, but I could tell she was probably still holding back. For the first few moments, I simply laid back, frozen in place, but quickly worked on reciprocating her kiss – though my inexperience probably shone like a beacon in the fog. I don't know how long our first kiss lasted for, but by the end of it, I was out of breath, while Kazuki lifted her head back up and smiled at me in amusement.

"Stay still." Kazuki whispered to me as she got up, and I watched as she walked over to the door – noting that her steps seemed far steadier than they had before – and closed it, then turned to me with a grin as she made a show of locking it. She isn't going to let me leave until she's done. The thought made me feel hot, and a shiver ran down my spine. "Was that your first kiss?" Kazuki asked as she removed her shoes and kicked them off to the side, then slithered down onto the bed again, positioning herself above me like she had before, and I nodded to her. "Hmmm… Not too bad, I suppose, but we do have all night to polish up those skills." Kazuki licked her lips as she leaned in again, and this time I was more ready for the kiss.

I closed my eyes when Kazuki's lips reconnected with mine, this time leaning a bit more into the kiss. Kazuki cupped my cheeks with her hands, leaning down so her chest was pressing against mine. The soft sensation caused my arousal – which I had been trying to hold back – to begin rising, and when I felt Kazuki's tongue tentatively touching my lips, I didn't hesitate in letting her have access. Kazuki didn't waste any time and eagerly pushed her tongue into my mouth, the new sensation sending shivers through me as her saliva-coated appendage explored my oral cavern. Arousal fuelling my own eagerness, I met Kazuki's tongue with my own, tasting the last remnants of alcohol on it as we exchanged saliva, my position below her allowing me to greedily swallow down her spit. At this point, my pants were feeling quite tight, and I had no doubt that Kazuki could feel my hard-on pressing against her own body.

"Haah… You're a fast learner, Tsukasa." Kazuki said once we eventually separated, both of us out of breath and a string of saliva connecting our lips.Her s-saliva… that's so hot..."I like your eagerness, but it seems like you're ready continue with something else." Kazuki grinned at me, her hand trailing down my body until it reached my clothed member, her implications obvious. "Oh, that reminds me… did you get hard back at the bar when I hugged you?" I felt my blush deepening, and had to avert my eyes from Kazuki in embarrassment.

"...Yes." I admitted to her, and Kazuki began to caress me gently down below as her grin widened.

"Hah! I knew it! Needed to go cool off in the toilets, eh?" I kept my eyes averted from Kazuki, but she used the hand still on my cheek to turn my face towards her again. "Knowing that I'm having such an effect on you… It's a massive fucking turn-on for any woman. And you can feel pride in knowing that you're doing the exact same to me right now." Kazuki licked my lips, sending yet another shiver through me, then placed a quick kiss upon them before lifting herself off me slightly. With one hand still stroking my member through my clothes, her free hand slid down my arm until she grasped my wrist and lifted my hand up. "You can touch me, you know. I want you to touch me, Tsukasa. Show me what you want from my body."

Swallowing, I nodded to Kazuki, and she let go of my wrist. Moving my gaze down to her chest, I slowly moved my left hand to it, hesitating for just a moment before giving in to my desires and laying my palm atop Kazuki's clothed breast. So… warm… Kazuki let out a small moan as I caressed her breast, feeling its soft plumpness through her clothing. Becoming mesmerized with the act, I found my right hand trailing up her side, lingering there briefly and feeling her up before I moved to cup her other breast as well. More moans escaped from Kazuki's mouth as I massaged her breasts, and I let out a few of my own as she stroked my dick through my clothes. Without warning, Kazuki leaned down again to capture my lips with her own, and I moaned into her mouth as her tongue darted in again, meeting mine halfway. This… is better than any fantasy I've ever had… Our kiss didn't last as long as the previous ones, with Kazuki pulling away after a few seconds of tongue-wrestling, letting out another moan as I boldly groped her breasts a bit harder.

"Mmmm… That feels good… Do you want to touch them directly?" I eagerly nodded to Kazuki, who grinned at me, then leaned back up.

Moving both of her hands to the edge of her white shirt, Kazuki gave me a sultry smile, then began to slowly pull the fabric upwards. My hands left her breasts as her bare stomach became visible, and I placed my hands on her sides instead, gently caressing her flat tummy with my thumbs and earning another moan from Kazuki as she pulled the shirt over her head.

"You like what you see?" Kazuki asked as she swayed lightly, her upper body now only covered by her bra. I took a few moments to let my gaze wander over her bare body, taking in everything I could see in the dim light, and Kazuki bit her bottom lip, clearly enjoying the attention I was giving her. She looks… absolutely gorgeous… "They're not quite the biggest, but… I'm still proud of these babies." She then said as she used her hands to squeeze her breasts together, and I slid my hands up along her sides to grope them as well.

"...They're just the perfect size, Kazuki-san." I said while feeling up her chest through her bra, the tips of my fingers exploring some of the warm, bare skin on display.

"Aren't you a flatterer. You're not just saying that because it's the first pair of tits you've seen?" Kazuki asked, and I found myself averting my gaze from her. W-well, that may be true, but… My reaction seemed to amuse Kazuki, as she let out a small chuckle, bringing my attention back to her as she reached behind her back. "Don't worry, I can clearly see what kind of effect I'm having on you. Now, ready for the full display?" Nodding again, I watched intently as Kazuki fumbled around behind her back, unclasping her bra and sliding the straps off. Now, the only thing holding the cups in place were my hands, which Kazuki proceeded to move away, allowing her bra to drop down and reveal her naked breasts to me.

"Ah…" A small sound escaped my lips as Kazuki's breasts came into view in all their glory, and I near-instantly moved my hands forward to grope them, causing Kazuki to moan out at the contact. They're so soft… and warm… And her nipples are getting hard…

"Yes… grope them, Tsukasa… rub my nipples too…" Emboldened by Kazuki's words, I did as she asked and explored every last inch of her breasts with my hands, utterly entranced by her soft mounds and the perky nipples that stood at attention. Meanwhile, Kazuki's own hands moved down to my body again, her left hand going back to my clothed, throbbing member, while her right landed on my chest, her fingers raking across it through my undershirt. "Mmm… I think it's a bit unfair that I'm the only one to be topless, hmm?" Kazuki's words brought my attention away from her chest and back to her face, and I felt her right hand tugging at my clothes.

"A-ah, yes…" Reluctantly, I moved my hands away from her chest and started to fumble with my own clothes, but Kazuki took a gentle hold of my wrists to stop me.

"Let me do the work, Tsukasa…" Kazuki said to me sensually, and I nodded to her slowly, allowing her to undress me. Kazuki-san is… u-undressing me… Taking off my black overshirt first, she unceremoniously threw it on the ground behind her with a grin, then ran her hands down my sides, sending a shiver through me, until she reached my waist. Grabbing the bottom edge of my white t-shirt, I lifted myself slightly off the bed and raised my arms to allow her to pull it off in one swift motion, discarding it on the ground in the same manner she had done before. "Mmm… Got yourself some muscles there, have you? I like what I see..." Kazuki purred as she placed her hands on my now-naked chest, pushing me back down onto the bed. "Scoot up a little bit." Doing as she ordered, I scooted up further on Kazuki's bed, while she repositioned herself so she was sitting on top of my waist, the bulge in my pants pressing against her ass and bringing me a jolt of pleasure. Seeing this, Kazuki grinned and began to grind against me, the restraints of my pants quickly becoming agonizing.

"Ahh… K-Kazuki-san…" I moaned out her name, and Kazuki leaned down, pressing her breasts against my chest again – though this time, there was no clothing to separate us – and capturing my lips in a kiss while continuing to grind against me.

As our tongues danced around, exchanging saliva between our mouths, and her hard nipples rubbed against my chest, I moved my hands up to Kazuki's sides and back and began running them across her smooth skin. After several seconds of us making out while rubbing our half-naked bodies together, Kazuki pulled away from me again, then reached behind her head to undo the clasp there which tied her hair up. Throwing it away, she let her red hair fall free, a few strands tickling my face, and I was momentarily stunned at the sight.

"...You're beautiful." I spoke out without even realizing it, and saw Kazuki's cheeks reddening, before she averted her eyes shyly. Is she… not used to compliments? A devilish thought entered my head, and I slid one of my hands up Kazuki's back to her neck, then cupped her cheek and made her meet my gaze again. "Absolutely gorgeous." Kazuki's blush deepened, before she scowled and moved my hand away from her face.

"D-don't say things like that, cheeky brat." Grinning at having managed to make Kazuki flustered, I relished in her irritated face until she grinned and leaned closer to me. "Though, you're not bad-looking yourself. Your face is cute, still filled with the innocence of youth, but this toned body of yours is definitely the body of a man, easily capable of turning heads." Kazuki said, moving her hand down to my chest and running a finger along my muscles there. "Definitely potential there for some real good eye candy for us girls. Makes me want to claim you all for myself." Kazuki licked my lips, then continued down my jaw to my neck, leaving a few kisses there. I knew she was trying to get back at me, and it was working, as my heartbeat accelerated and cheeks warmed from the combination of her actions and words. C-claim me, huh… If she really means that… I don't think I'd mind it..."...Your little friend downstairs seems to be in a bit of trouble, so what do you say we move on, hm?"

Swallowing at Kazuki's words, I watched as she shuffled downwards, holding eye contact with me until she reached my groin. My dick throbbed in anticipation as she began to unbuckle my belt, then pulled my trousers down and leaving me in just my underwear. Kazuki's eyes were drawn to the tent made in them by my member, and began to stroke it through the fabric, drawing a moan from my throat. Kazuki-san is… she's actually… touching it… Giggling in amusement at my reaction – a beautiful sound that resonated in my brain for long after it was gone – she moved her face closer as she began to slowly pull off my underwear, the anticipation making my heart hammer in my chest.

"Let's see what's going to be pleasing me tonight…" Kazuki said as she finally pulled my underwear all the way down, my dick springing free from its constraints. "Oooh… not bad at all…" Kazuki's slender fingers began to gently caress my shaft, before she wrapped them around it and gave it a few strokes, and I was unable to hold back my moans. This was the first time someone other than myself was touching my dick, and I could scarcely believe that my attractive boss was the one doing it. "...Nice and thick… Not quite as long as some of my toys, but still nothing to scoff at.I'm definitely glad that I get to be the first one to lay my hands on this… How about we keep this trend going and make sure that I'm the only one who gets to do so, hmm?" If… she's really serious about that too...

I opened my mouth to reply, but what came out turned into a moan as Kazuki licked my shaft, her wet tongue sliding along it while one of her hands stroked the base and the other moved to gently massage my balls. After repeating the motions a few times, Kazuki began to swirl her tongue around my sensitive tip, bringing me unparalleled pleasure and making me clap a hand over my mouth when I realized how much I was moaning. Grinning at my reaction, Kazuki wrapped her soft lips around the tip and began to bob her head up and down slowly while her tongue swirled around and licked up the precum that oozed from my tip. F-fuck, this blowjob feels… too good…

"K-Kazuki-san… Kazuki-san…" I found myself moaning out Kazuki's name as her movements around my member became faster. She took my shaft almost entirely into her mouth, then pulled back up, bringing to me pleasure I knew I couldn't ever replicate on my own. Sitting up slightly, I reached for Kazuki's head and placed my hand gently on her head, raking my fingers through her red hair as she blew me, earning moans from her that sent pleasurable vibrations around my dick. With the combined effort of her hand stroking the base, soft lips wrapping around the shaft and tongue circling it within her mouth, it didn't take long until I started feeling a familiar sensation building up within me. Perhaps sensing this, Kazuki slowly pulled her lips off my dick, taking a few laboured breaths as she freed it from her mouth. My shaft was glistening, covered in Kazuki's saliva which acted as lubrication as she kept gently stroking it with her hand, the sight making me even more aroused.

"That's enough, I can't wait any longer." Kazuki said, her eyes filled with lust as she stood up, and I watched as she hastily pulled her own trousers down her beautiful, long legs and leaving her standing before me in nothing but a pair of panties. I found myself holding my breath in anticipation as I watched Kazuki hook her fingers into her panties, then leaning her body forward and momentarily obscuring my view as she pulled them down her legs. Before she lifted herself back up, Kazuki looked up and grinned at me in amusement. "Here, Tsukasa – catch!" Before my brain could register what Kazuki had said to me, I saw her throwing something in my direction, only realizing what she had done when the object she had thrown at me landed on my face.

"T-these…" The first thing that I noticed was the smell, something so arousing it made my dick throb, and I quickly realized that what Kazuki had thrown at me were her panties. Lifting them off my face, I could now see a very noticeable wet spot on Kazuki's panties, telling me how aroused she was. The thought that I had made her that way made me feel prideful, and I felt myself smiling.

"Oi, what are you grinning at while smelling my dirty panties? Pervert." Kazuki's words made me flinch, and I quickly discarded her panties to the side, feeling my cheeks heating up in embarrassment.

"I-I wasn't smelling them! A-at least, not on purpose…" I protested, but then fell silent as I saw Kazuki standing in front of me, completely naked. She… really is beautiful… Every inch of her… Finally meeting her gaze again, I saw that Kazuki was grinning at me. She then proceeded to run her hands along her body while lightly swaying, caressing her chest, hips and thighs – giving me a show I would never forget.

"Like what you see, Tsukasa?" I swallowed and nodded to Kazuki in reply, feeling my heart rapidly beating in my chest in anticipation of what was going to happen next. "Well, all this… is all yours tonight. And in return…" I watched as Kazuki lifted one of her long legs above the bed – giving me the slightest peek at her lower lips between her legs – then gently placed her foot against my crotch before beginning to rub my shaft with her sole, eliciting a moan from my throat. "…This is all mine. Got that?" I nodded to Kazuki as I bit my lip to hold back my moans, the footjob that Kazuki was giving me bringing unexpected pleasure. As I looked down at the foot currently rubbing my shaft, I couldn't help but notice something peculiar, however. The sole of her foot felt slightly harder than I would have expected, and in the dim light, I could just about spot what seemed to be faint scarring a little bit above her ankle.

"Kazuki-san..? Your… foot." Kazuki's foot stopped its motions, and she lifted an eyebrow in confusion, before her eyes widened.

"Oh, you noticed, did you?" Kazuki asked, and I nodded to her as she lifted her foot away from my throbbing shaft, leaning forwards to run a finger down her leg to her heel. "It's a prosthetic. I… had a pretty serious injury around three years ago. It's a long story, but maybe I'll tell it to you some day. Right now, however… We have something else to focus on." Licking her lips and sending me a sultry look, Kazuki reached down to her groin with her hand and began to rub herself while crawling back on top of me. There's… still a lot I don't know about Kazuki-san, but… I definitely want to learn more.

I want to know everything there is to know about her – inside and out.

With one hand still working on pleasuring herself, Kazuki grasped my shaft with the other and leaned down to kiss me again. Already having gotten the hang of things, I met her prodding tongue with my own as I reached for her chest, groping her breasts with one hand while I ran the other down her back. For the first time, I reached for her bum and began to grope and caress her soft flesh there, causing Kazuki to moan into my mouth as our tongues wrestled for dominance, our saliva mixing together and occasionally dripping from between our locked lips. After a while, Kazuki and I separated again for air, and Kazuki pulled her fingers away from her groin, bringing her now-slick fingers up to her face.

"Look, Tsukasa." Kazuki breathed out and made a show of slowly and sensually licking some of her own juices from her fingers, the sight only adding to my arousal, if it was even possible at this point. "You've made me so wet and horny for you, Tsukasa. Here, have a taste for yourself…" Moving her fingers towards my mouth, I obediently opened up and allowed Kazuki to insert her fingers into it. "Mmm… Good boy…" Shuddering at Kazuki's words and her tone of voice, I began to lick and suck at her fingers, tasting and drinking up her juices, the unusual taste mixed with the now-familiar taste of Kazuki's saliva, left behind by her own licking moments ago.

Pulling her fingers free after I had licked them clean, Kazuki leaned back up and returned her hand to her groin, though this time she instead spread her lower lips and allowed me to see her most private parts in all their glory. A small, neatly-trimmed bush of red hair was located just above her pussy lips, which were positively dripping with her juices, the taste of which still lingered in my mouth.

"You can… touch it if you want to." Kazuki said to me, and my eyes briefly snapped up to hers, before dropping back down to her lower lips. Swallowing nervously, I lifted my upper body up slightly and reached towards Kazuki's pussy with my hand. Carefully, I began to stroke her outer lips as Kazuki moved her own hand out of the way. "Mmmm… yes, just like that. Feel how wet I am… rub my clit… near the top…" Following Kazuki's breathy instructions, I slid my fingers up and down her well-lubricated slit, prodding around the upper parts of her labia until I came across the hard nub of her clitoris. Touching it caused Kazuki to moan, and I began to gently circle it with my fingers while my thumb slid up and down between her inner lips, almost slipping into her wet opening below. "...Alright, that's it. I feel like I'm going to explode if I don't get your dick in me soon." Kazuki said and leaned down while I reluctantly pulled my hand away from her pussy, planting a short but hungry kiss on my lips as her grip on my shaft tightened momentarily, then adjusting it alongside her own position on top of me to line it up with her dripping entrance.

"W-what about… protection..?" I asked from Kazuki, my own immense arousal and anticipation not enough to make me forget about the potential consequences of unprotected sex. Hearing my question, Kazuki looked down at me with a slight scowl.

"You really want your first time to be through some piece of latex?" Kazuki asked from me in turn, but sighed before waiting for my answer. "I get what you're… getting at, but I have two counterpoints to make. First… I don't have any condoms anywhere here. And second…" Kazuki leaned in again, her nose bumping against mine. "...I'm too fucking horny right now to worry about something like that." With those words, I felt the tip of my dick coming into contact with Kazuki's pussy lips, and any words of protest I was about to say died in my throat at the moment of contact. Kazuki rubbed her wet slit against my tip for a few moments, barely-restrained moans escaping from my mouth, before she paused briefly again. "Are you ready to lose your virginity, Tsukasa? I'll make sure this is an experience you won't forget for the rest of your life."

Hearing her words, I swallowed, lowering my gaze down to where our parts were connected. I held my breath as Kazuki started to lower herself onto me, a moan of satisfaction leaving both of our mouths as I slipped inside her love canal for the first time. S-so this… is how it feels. A jolt of pleasure went through me as I bottomed out inside Kazuki, our hips glued together. Kazuki's insides were warm, and her undulating walls massaged my shaft in ways I couldn't have imagined in my wildest fantasies. To describe the sensation in one sentence… I felt like I was in heaven. And Kazuki hadn't even started moving yet.

"Fuck, you really fill me up nicely… It's been so long since I had a dick in me, I really needed this." Kazuki said and ground her hips against mine, bringing out another moan from my mouth. "I can see that you're enjoying this, Tsukasa. How do my insides feel?"

"I-Incredible." I managed to speak out, bringing my hand in front of my mouth again as another moan escaped it, still aware in the back of my mind that Constance was asleep in the room next door.

"I'm glad to hear it. You wouldn't be able to get this kind of sensation with a rubber on." Kazuki moved her hips back and forth again, then leaned forwards, bringing her face close to mine. "Sure, it's safer, but… nothing beats the real, raw deal." Kazuki's husky voice sent a shiver down my spine, and I felt my dick throb in her – and she felt it too, if her lustful moan at that moment was any indication.

"A-are you… at least on some other form of birth control..?" I asked while Kazuki rubbed her naked body against mine, her hands caressing me all over while mine still laid limply by my sides – my brain was still processing everything, so I hadn't even thought to use them yet.

"Tsukasa… this is the first time I'm being fucked in what feels like forever – what do you think my answer to that question is?" I averted my eyes from Kazuki, fully understanding what she was implying, and she sighed. "Look, I get it. Your concerns are valid, and it is kinda cute that you're worrying so much – it means you're looking out for your partner, and I do appreciate that." I looked back up at Kazuki and saw her smiling gently at me. "But I wouldn't be doing this with you right now if I didn't want to do it like this, so you don't have to worry so much – just enjoy it. Besides…" Kazuki's smile turned into a grin, and she gazed at me lustfully while bringing her face closer to mine, then whispering out her next words. "...Risky sex is a real turn-on for me." Feeling my cheeks flushing as my dick throbbed again, I watched as Kazuki lifted herself up again and winked at me. S-saying something like that while looking at me like that… F-fuck, I can't deny that it sounds hot… "Now, enough yapping, it's time to get started for real."

Right after finishing her sentence, Kazuki placed her hands onto my chest for support, ground her hips against mine a little, then began to lift herself up. My eyes were transfixed on the spot where we were connected, watching as my shaft slowly came into view, slick with Kazuki's natural lubrication, before it disappeared into her depths again as she slammed back down and causing a loud moan to escape my mouth. Slowly at first, Kazuki began to ride me, and I had to clap my hand over my mouth again to muffle out the moans I couldn't restrain. On her part, Kazuki didn't seem to try to hold back her moans at all, merely biting her lip with an expression of intense pleasure on her face.

It didn't take long for all of my senses to be overloaded from our acts: the feeling of Kazuki's warm and wet pussy gripping onto my shaft as it slid in and out of her body, the sweet sound of her moans of pleasure that told me how much she was enjoying this, the smell of sweat and sex slowly starting to permeate the room, and the sight of her breasts swinging alongside to the rhythm of her riding, as well as her face contorting from the pleasure. The only sense that was being left out was taste, but that was soon rectified as Kazuki leaned down – perhaps seeking the same, five-sense experience I was – and moved the hand that had been blocking my moans away from my mouth, instead blocking it with her lips as she began to kiss me. With her tongue – and with it, saliva – entering my mouth, and mine doing the same as I reciprocated the kiss with vigour, the experience was complete.

"Ahh… These hands can be put to… better use than trying to silence those cute moans of yours, Tsukasa." Kazuki said as we briefly separated for air, and now realizing they were still laying limply by my sides, I quickly brought them up, cupping her right breast with one and placing the other at her hip, feeling the curve of her ass and squeezing it slightly. "Mmm… Yes, that's it, Tsukasa… Touch me… grope me..." Kazuki closed her eyes and kept whispering out my name in-between moans of pleasure as she rode me with vigour, making my dick throb inside her each time she did so. Kazuki-san is… so hot… I can't believe I get to do this with her…

As Kazuki kept riding me, occasionally dipping down for a few moments of making out, I began to feel my limit approaching. I had managed to hold back well for my first time, but the pleasure was quickly becoming overwhelming. Thankfully, Kazuki seemed to slow down, eventually coming to a halt as she panted heavily, sweat glistening across her naked body.

"Haaah… I think all the… alcohol still in my system is getting to me…" Kazuki said between breaths, looking down at me with an expression that was a mix of pleasure and exhaustion. "My hips are feeling tired…" Kazuki stopping was a saving grace for me, and her assessment of her situation made me feel bold.

"T-then… Maybe I could… b-be on top..?" My question came out meeker than I had intended, and it caused Kazuki to smile at me in amusement.

"I do so enjoy being on top, but… I suppose you'll have to learn how to do the moves yourself as well." Kazuki said as she brought one of her hands to gently caress my cheek, then lifted herself off me, my dick instantly missing the welcoming warmth of her pussy as it was exposed to the air again. While Kazuki laid on her back on the bed next to me, I sat up, then moved over Kazuki once she'd gotten in a comfortable position with her legs held up high and pussy presented to me. "Now this is quite a different perspective… but I don't hate it…" Kazuki said and reached up with a hand, caressing my chest with her fingers as she smiled sultrily. Taking a moment to admire Kazuki's naked form once again, I ran my right hand over her naked tummy, rubbing it gently before moving up to her chest while the other gently massaged her thigh. How many others before me have gotten the pleasure to see this sight..?

...I want to be the only one who gets to see it from now on.

"Come on, Tsukasa. Don't keep a lady waiting." Kazuki said to me, bringing one of her hands to my dick and stroking it lightly. "Can you get it in on your own?" She then asked with a grin.

"O-of course!" I replied, looking down at her exposed pussy. Seeing it up closer than before, I was momentarily mesmerized, but shook myself out of it. Letting go of Kazuki's breast, I lined myself up with her pussy, rubbing my tip along her slit while searching for the right angle to insert myself. The o-opening was… here… Finding my mark, I slid myself back inside Kazuki's welcoming warmth, a satisfied moan escaping her mouth as I filled her again. For a few moments, I savoured the feeling of my shaft being completely engulfed by her slick, inner walls, before starting the motions of pulling myself out and thrusting back in.

"Ah! Ah! Yes! That's it, Tsukasa. You're… getting the hang of it." Kazuki encouraged me with her words as I repeatedly thrust myself into her. "You can… go a little faster. Set the pace for me, and I'll… meet your thrusts." Acquiescing with her request, I began to speed up my thrusts, gauging her reaction and adjusting myself based on what her body told me.

Now that I was in control, I could more easily hold back the building pleasure and prolong this experience for both of us. With my left hand still holding onto Kazuki's thigh for support as I plowed her into the bed, I reached down with my right to caress and grope her upper body. The wet slapping sounds resulting from my pounding combined with Kazuki's moans to form a loud cacophony of noise within the room, so – still somewhat paranoid about us being caught – I slowed down and focused on deeper thrusts, rather than quicker ones. In response, Kazuki wrapped her legs around my back to help me go even deeper, and as I fully bottomed out in her pussy, Kazuki let out a sharp moan that I was sure would have been heard by Constance if he was awake, and if the grin on her face afterwards was any indication, the terror resulting from the thought was very clear to see on my face.

"W-weren't you the one to tell me to keep quiet?" I asked from Kazuki, though I kept thrusting into her.

"Yes, I was. I didn't say anything about myself, though." Kazuki replied with a cheeky grin.

"Are you… trying to get us caught?!" Kazuki giggled at me, but it soon turned into another moan. T-this woman…

"Sorry, I can't help it. You're just fucking me that good that I can't hold back, Tsukasa." She said and send me a sultry look, and I was unable to respond. "Ah! Yes, right there… that feels good…" Kazuki moaned out, and I grit my teeth as I felt her insides gripping onto me tighter – even with the slow thrusts, I didn't think I'd be able to prolong this for much longer.

"C-can you at least try to keep quiet, then?" Kazuki replied to my question with a challenging look, reaching up with a hand to cup my cheek while she used the other to grope her own breasts.

"Make me." She said to me with a grin, and I held back a moan of my own as Kazuki traced her thumb over my lips while using her pussy to squeeze and milk my shaft. Even when she's on the bottom, she's still very much in control, huh… Getting an idea from her fingers trying to prod at my lips to get them to open, I leaned forward so my face was right above hers and reached down with my hand, cupping her cheek as she had mine, then poked my thumb between her lips. Kazuki's eyes widened in surprise momentarily, before she smiled and began to suck on my digit, slathering it with her tongue.

With Kazuki's moans now somewhat muffled, I focused on thrusting as deep into her pussy as I could, feeling my own pleasure building up. With my new position right above Kazuki, I could stare directly into her purple eyes, and found myself getting lost deep in them. The eye contact made everything feel much more intimate and I felt my heartbeat rising as a result. An odd embarrassment welling up in me, I averted my eyes, but my attention was pulled back as Kazuki moved her hand from my cheek to the back of my head, pressing down slightly to pull me closer to her.

"Tsukasa…" Kazuki breathed out my name after releasing my thumb from her mouth. "Kiss me…" Her sensual tone of voice made my cheeks flush even more than they already were, but I obliged with her request, leaning down to capture her lips with mine. The kiss was no different from the previous ones we'd shared, perhaps a little slower, but something about it felt inherently more… romantic at that moment, as opposed to simply lustful. I slowed down my thrusts slightly, putting more of my focus on the kiss and enjoying every second of it to the fullest, and after we eventually parted, I felt a sense of fulfilment from it. "What are you slowing down for? Keep fucking me, Tsukasa." Kazuki said and wrapped her arms around my back, not allowing me to move back and instead pressing our bodies together more, her soft breasts feeling heavenly against my own chest.

"S-sorry." I apologized to her and sped up with my thrusts again, being rewarded with a deep moan of pleasure from Kazuki as I hit her deepest parts. If she… felt the same thing I felt from that kiss… she's at least not showing it… Kazuki began raking her fingers across my back and gave me small kisses and licks across my face, sending a shiver through me and making my dick throb. "I-I think I… might be g-getting close." I warned Kazuki, the slow buildup of pleasure getting close to its peak.

"Mmm… I can… feel you throbbing in me. If you can reach it… play with my clit. We'll… cum together." Kazuki instructed me, and I felt my dick throb again at her words. T-together..? That would mean… i-inside… I swallowed and reached between our sweaty bodies with my hand. Slowing my thrusting momentarily, I slid my fingers through her pubic hair and prodded around for a moment until I found her clitoris. Gently beginning to stimulate it, I resumed thrusting deep inside Kazuki again, then leaned down for another kiss to silence our moans

The more I rubbed her clitoris, the more Kazuki's inner walls squeezed and massaged me, causing not only her to get closer to release, but me as well. Moans escaped our mouths whenever we separated for air, our mixed saliva dripping down and making a mess of the bedsheets below. I noticed Kazuki's breathing getting ragged, and I instinctively sped up my own thrusts as we got closer and closer to the inevitable.

"K-Kazuki-san. I-I'm… almost…" I said between breaths while continuing to pound away at Kazuki's pussy, the tip of my dick bumping against her deepest parts.

"Y-yes, I'm… getting there, too." Kazuki replied and tightened her hold on me, using her legs to force me into making short but deep thrusts.

"I-I should… pull out…" I was gritting my teeth, trying to hold back the pleasure, but Kazuki just smiled at me.

"I want to… feel your cum inside me, Tsukasa. There's no point… doing it raw without creaming me." Kazuki said, her words and tone of voice sending shudders through me. "Mmm… Just… do it, Tsukasa. Fill me up… with your seed…" I groaned in pleasure, her words causing my dick to throb dangerously inside her.

"I-I can't… What if you…" I could barely get the words out, closing my eyes as I was trying my hardest to ignore the feeling of the tip of my dick battering against what I knew to be the entrance to Kazuki's most sacred place.

"It's… not that easy to get pregnant… just relax… But…" Kazuki moved her hand behind my head and pulled me down so our foreheads were touching, then whispered sensually. "...It would be fucking hot if you knocked me up." My eyes shot open and I looked deep into Kazuki's own purple ones. They held nothing in them but genuine desire.

"F-fuck, Kazuki-san..!" Her words caused something to stir deep within me, my dick throbbing in primal desire.

"Tsukasa… Tsukasa!" Kazuki's eyes screwed shut, her mouth left open as she moaned loudly.

One thrust, my throbbing dick touched down against the entrance to Kazuki's womb.

Two thrusts, Kazuki's legs locked behind me and her whole body shook as she reached her orgasm.

Three thrusts, I gave in to my desires and pushed as deep as I could go in anticipation of the imminent release, then captured Kazuki's lips in a kiss to muffle our mutual orgasmic moans.

With my tip glued against Kazuki's cervix as she was in the midst of her own orgasmic release, her vaginal walls milking me for all I was worth, I released a satisfied moan into Kazuki's mouth and came undone. My dick throbbed as my own orgasm washed over me, spurts of my semen firing off deep inside Kazuki. The feeling of inseminating her was blissful, deeply satisfying to some primal part of my brain, and I realized that I would never again be able to feel anything nearly as good as this. Riding out my orgasm while Kazuki moaned and twitched under me in the heights of her own, I kept my dick lodged in as deep as I could, instinctively making sure that as much of my seed was deposited into or as near to her womb as possible.

After coming down from my orgasm, I felt exhausted. I slumped over Kazuki's body and broke off the kiss that had muffled our moans, which had now been replaced by rapid panting as we both came to our senses.

"Holy… shit… I can't remember the last time I came that hard…" Kazuki was the first to speak, her hands gently caressing my back while her legs slacked and slid down onto the bed. "...I'm not even sure if I ever have cum that hard." Smiling lazily, she planted a few kisses on my face, and I let out a deep sigh.

"Have to say… the same. That was… the biggest orgasm I think I've ever had." I replied, returning some of the kisses. In the back of my mind, I was aware that I may have just very possibly impregnated Kazuki, but ignored the worry for now, instead simply basking in the afterglow.

"You didn't do too bad for your first time. You'll definitely become a great lover with time." Pulling back slightly, I managed to find the strength in me to pull my now-softening member out of Kazuki's well-fucked pussy. I watched as a small trickle of my semen flowed out, then flopped down onto the bed next to Kazuki. "So, how did you like the charms of a mature woman on your first time?" Kazuki asked as she angled her body to face me, placing her hand on my chest and gently caressing it with her index finger. The sight of her laying next to me made my cheeks flush, and I got lost in her beauty for a few moments, before catching myself and responding.

"I-it was… great. I'm… glad I could have my first time with you, Kazuki-san." I said and reached towards her with a hand, gently caressing her side and tummy. As my gaze travelled down her body to her pussy, I saw the small trickle of cum leaking from it, and felt a tinge of worry in me. "Was it… okay for me to… cum inside? I-I mean, it was… enjoyable, but…" Kazuki's finger stopped its movements on my chest, and after a momentary pause, she slid her hand up to my face and angled it gently so I was facing her. Gazing into each other's eyes for a moment, Kazuki leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on my lips, then smiled at me.

"Don't worry about it too much, Tsukasa. Like I said, it's not that easy for a woman to get pregnant. And Plan B always exists as well." Kazuki reassured me, and I felt a little more relieved at the situation. "It was fucking hot, though. Call me weird or whatever, but the risk, the feeling of warmth deep in me, the thought of pregnancy… it's always been a bit of a… kink of mine. This is the first time I've come so close to the real thing, though." Kazuki said and licked her lips, while my eyes moved down to her stomach again, my thumb still gently caressing it. W-well… I can't really blame her, considering how great it felt for me to do it… I have a feeling that tonight might have… awakened a new fetish in me… Looking back up at Kazuki and meeting her eyes, I felt my heartbeat accelerating as I stared deep into her purple orbs. ...Likely several, in fact. And… maybe something else, too. I was brought out of my thoughts by Kazuki shuffling next to me, and I watched as she wrapped her arms around my upper body and snuggled up to me, closing her eyes as she released a sigh of satisfaction. "...Thank you for this, Tsukasa." As she settled her head in the crook of my neck, I smiled and looked up at the ceiling.

"...You're welcome, Kazuki-san."

The next few minutes went by in silence as Kazuki got comfortable next to me, and after getting used to her being so close and intimate – without it being necessarily sexual – with me, I felt myself relax as well. My mind, however, wandered as I quietly stared up at the ceiling of Kazuki's bedroom. We can't undo what has happened tonight, but I was unsure where to go from here. Moving on and forgetting everything by tomorrow was a lot more difficult now that we had… had sex, not to even mention this budding feeling deep within my chest. I wasn't quite sure of it yet, but it definitely felt like…

...I was falling in love with Kazuki.

It could have still been a misconception by my brain, confusing love and lust in the heat of the moment, but… it still felt real. I wanted to believe it was real. And that… was what complicated things. How does Kazuki-san feel? Was this all really just a form of… stress relief for her? How should I face her at work tomorrow, or in the future, if these feelings of mine are to stick around? The more I let my thoughts wander in that deafening silence, just staring at the unmoving ceiling, the farther they travelled from my original source of worry. What if she decides to fire me for inappropriate conduct? What if… I can't get the hang of this job in time? If I lose the job I only got through my connections, and never get to see Kazuki-san again… What then? I failed to get into University, so what options do I have?

What… do I do?

"...You have that look on your face again."

A sudden voice pulled me back into reality, and I looked to its source to see Kazuki looking up at me, her expression unreadable, but her eyes shining with a hint of worry in them. Ah… I thought… she had fallen asleep. I turned my face away to avert my gaze from hers, but Kazuki gently placed her hand on my cheek and turned me back, forcing me to look at her.

"What's worrying you so deeply, Tsukasa?" Kazuki asked from me while gently caressing my face with her fingers. Her touch relaxed me, and I let out a sigh. "You can talk to me, Tsukasa. I want to know what's worrying you, so I can… h-help out." Momentarily taken aback by her words, I stared deeply into Kazuki's eyes, feeling my heartrate increasing. I… really do feel like I'm… falling for her… I took a deep breath before responding.

"Well… a l-lot of things, I guess." I replied hesitantly, and Kazuki urged me to continue with her expression. "Mainly… the future, I suppose. My... job at the Terminal Service. And now also… us." I felt my heart hammering in my chest, nervousness threatening to overtake me – this was the first time I was talking to someone else about these things. Kazuki continued to gently caress my face, now also tightening her hold on my body as she pulled herself closer to me. Her closeness and the warmth emanating from her body melted away my nervousness and made me feel relaxed instead.

"Hmm… Very normal worries for someone your age. I was the same when I was just starting out at the Terminal Service. Though… I imagine there must be something more to it for you?" I nodded to Kazuki slowly, and she smiled at me gently. "I've heard a little bit. Failing to get into University and then coming to work for us through your father's connections, without really knowing what you're supposed to do… I understand it can be a bit rough. I… won't claim to know you, or what's in your past, but… I'll help you in any way I can, Tsukasa. If nothing else, you can always talk to me." Kazuki gave me a gentle kiss on the cheek, and I felt my lips curving into a smile.

"...Thank you, Kazuki-san. I'll… remember that." I replied to her, and Kazuki nodded to me in return. That feels… good. To have someone willing to help like that. But…

"...And as for… that last worry…" My curiosity peaked, I awaited Kazuki's next words as she averted her eyes. "...If you can… wait until tomorrow…" Shyly, Kazuki met my eyes again, and I felt my heart skip a beat.

"Y-yes…" I managed to say, and Kazuki smiled at me, then released a content sigh as she snuggled up next to me again. I wouldn't mind… this becoming the norm.

With Kazuki's comforting warmth spreading through me, I eventually felt my eyelids drooping, and with my doubts and worries banished for now, I fell asleep next to Kazuki on her bed.

"Good morning, Tsukasa!"

"M-morning…"

I glanced around the office nervously after answering Zack's enthusiastic greeting, confirming that Kazuki and Constance hadn't arrived yet. Suppressing a sigh of relief, I walked past Isla's empty spot and took my seat opposite to it. Finally feeling like I was able to relax after my more-than-hectic morning, I slumped in my seat, earning a curious look from Michiru.

"So, how did it go with Kazuki-san last night?" Zack's question caused me to snap back to attention, and I looked to see him smiling at me teasingly from the other side of the table.

"A-ah, well… Constance was already asleep by the time I got her in, but… things went smoothly." I replied, choosing each of my words carefully. L-like Kazuki-san said, just keep it between us… "I escorted her inside, then went home myself." ...At around six in the morning. Constance woke up at five, and him shuffling around woke me up as well. I was scared for my life, but thankfully managed to sneak out while he was showering…

"Hmm… I see." Zack leaned back in his chair, and I internally let out a sigh of relief. "I thought that with the way she was clinging to you, she wasn't going to let you leave at all." Feeling a blush creeping to my cheeks at his words, I lowered my gaze and hoped neither Michiru or him saw my expression.

"Tsukasa." A voice coming from my right surprised me, and I turned to see Isla standing there, holding out a cup of tea towards me. "Here."

"O-oh, yes, thank you…" I thanked the girl, then watched as she walked past me to give a cup to Michiru, who seemed to be in the midst of some work on her own computer. Isla…

Looking at her now, my uncertain feelings from last night returned. After managing to… escape from Kazuki's apartment and getting home, I had a bit of time to think things over – and I expected that Kazuki would be doing the same. Having woken up next to Kazuki, one thing was definitely certain: my budding feelings were not simply going away. Seeing her peaceful, sleeping form next to me had filled me with such bliss that I wasn't even sure at first if I was actually awake yet or not. But as for my feelings towards Isla… I was still doubting them. Even more than ever since I'd come to the conclusion that I really might be developing feelings towards Kazuki – if I really did love her, would I have begun to fall for Kazuki so easily?

Alongside them, there was also now a feeling of dread.

Kazuki had been, by all accounts, drunk last night. Even if she had managed to sober up somewhat by the time I had gotten her home, and while her actions and words had definitely felt genuine… She had still very much been under the effects of alcohol. Thus, I had no idea how she would react to me right now with a completely clear head, or if she would even remember last night's events. So, every passing minute that went by as I awaited the moment Kazuki would show up at the office felt agonizing.

And, after what felt like forever, Kazuki and Constance finally entered the office.

My breath hitched in my throat and my heartbeat accelerated as I saw Kazuki again, banishing any last doubts I had about the possibility of my feelings being just something fleeting. On her part, Kazuki seemed completely normal, going about her business as usual. Nothing about her mannerisms suggested that anything was off, and neither was she giving any special attention towards me. If anything, Kazuki seemed to be actively avoiding looking at or talking to me, which stung my heart slightly. Had she forgotten, or did she remember everything very clearly and didn't want to associate with me as a result? Either thought made me feel like my heart was being crushed.

As she was discussing something with Chief Yamanobe, however, I noticed a single peculiarity about her: Instead of her usual style, Kazuki had foregone her hair clasp and let her hair down today. I didn't know whether or not the sudden style change had anything significant behind it, or if it was simply because she couldn't find her hair clasp after taking it off last night, but I thought the change of style looked very appealing.

"Good morning, Tsukasa." A sudden voice pulled me back to the present, and I realized that I had been staring at Kazuki for who knows how long. Looking up at the person who had addressed me, my eyes met the gentle blue ones of Constance.

"A-ah, g-good morning, Constance." The blue-haired giftia smiled at me, but I could help but break a nervous sweat. I'm… fairly sure I managed to get out before I was noticed, but…

"Kazuki told me you escorted her all the way home last night after she got drunk, and I wanted to thank you for that." Constance bowed his head to my slightly. "Did she give you a hard time?" I felt my cheeks heating up slightly at the unintended innuendo, but held back the blush to the best of my ability and replied as normally as I could.

"N-not at all. And… Zack helped us as well, he drove us to Kazuki's place." I gestured towards Zack on the other side of the table, and he raised a hand in response.

"Well, my thanks to both of you, then." Constance gave me another smile, then moved over to his own seat. Inadvertently letting out a small sigh of relief, I caught the attention of Michiru, who tapped her finger against the table in the spot between us.

"Tsukasa?" Michiru leaned closer to me, clearly wanting to say something, so I leaned closer to her as well. "Did… things really go alright with Kazuki-san?"

"Huh? What… do you mean?" A part of me was genuinely confused by Michiru's question, while another part feared that she'd noticed something was off.

"Well… just the way you…"

"Tsukasa." Before Michiru was able to finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Kazuki, bringing both of our attention to her. "Can you come with me for a second?" I tried to gauge what Kazuki's aim was, but her expression was unreadable, so all I could do was nod to her. "Michiru, here's your and Zack's target for today." She then addressed Michiru and handed her a folder. "This way, Tsukasa."

After sharing a brief glance with Michiru, I began to follow after Kazuki. She didn't speak a word the entire way, and I didn't dare to speak either, my heart pounding in my chest from the anticipation. This had to have something to do with last night. Eventually, we came across a familiar door, and with Kazuki's lead, we stepped outside to the familiar location at the back of the building where the vending machine was located. Once we were outside, Kazuki stopped in front of me, turned around, then walked up close to me – so close that I was forced to back off, until my back hit the wall. Slamming her left hand against the wall next to my head, Kazuki left me completely trapped as she stared me down with a scary expression.

"Not a single word about last night, to anyone." Kazuki said while glaring at me, and I swallowed nervously. "As far as anyone else is concerned, last night didn't happen. Got that?" I nodded meekly to Kazuki in response, and she seemed to relax somewhat, closing her eyes and sighing. At least she remembers… But… I need to set some things straight, still.

"Kazuki-san…" I began, and Kazuki opened her eyes again. "I… I-I'm sorry! Y-you were… drunk, and I… shouldn't have gone along with-" My apology was silenced as Kazuki brought a finger up and placed it gently on my lips.

"Don't be. I… know I was drunk. I know what I… what we did. But… I don't regret any of it, Tsukasa. Everything was done of my own will, so you don't have to worry about that." Kazuki's words relieved me, and she smiled gently while pulling her finger back. "I should be the one saying that I'm sorry, since I did basically… seduce you." Kazuki averted her eyes guiltily, and, feeling determined, I reached up and grabbed her right hand with both of mine.

"I don't regret last night either, Kazuki-san." Kazuki's eyes met mine again, and I saw hers widening in surprise. "It… was an experience I will never forget. So… you don't have to worry about it either, because… I did it all of my own will as well. And… if… if…" By this point, my heart was beating almost as fast as it had last night, and I felt my cheeks burning, but I took a deep breath and continued. "...If there are… any… c-consequences of last night, I'm willing to man up and take responsibility!" I looked deep into Kazuki's eyes with determination, though my hands were shaking. Kazuki simply stared at me dumbfounded, staying completely frozen for a few seconds, before she blinked a couple of times, then averted her eyes from me, a blush of her own forming on her face.

"T-that… I-I appreciate it, Tsukasa." Kazuki murmured, demurely meeting my eyes again. "I-I think we are… fine on… that regard. But… thank you, Tsukasa. I knew I made the right choice in choosing to trust you." Kazuki smiled at me, and I felt my heart skipping a beat. "I-I also want to clarify that… what I said last night about… being there for you… I meant it, Tsukasa. You don't need to worry about everything on your own." Hearing her words, I felt myself smiling, and nodded to Kazuki appreciatively.

"...Thank you, Kazuki-san." After hearing my thanks, Kazuki leaned back a bit and let her left arm fall away, then took a deep breath.

"...Alright, we should get back to-"

"W-wait!" Using my hold on her hand, I stopped Kazuki as she was trying to move away. I have to do this now. "What about… your… answer?" Kazuki lifted an eyebrow in question, seemingly not understanding what I meant. "My… last worry." I clarified, and Kazuki's eyes widened in realization, before she averted her gaze again. A few moments of silence that felt like hours passed before Kazuki hesitantly opened her mouth again, thought seemingly still thinking over her words.

"I… Well… Office romances are a pain, and… nobody else can know the truth about what happened last night… but… If you really want to…" Kazuki rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly, her gaze still not meeting mine, and this peek at her cuter side made me feel bold as I pulled her back closer to me.

"I do. I'm… still perhaps a bit unsure about my feelings, but… I do know that I want to be with you, Kazuki-san." Finally meeting my eyes again, I stared deep into Kazuki's purple orbs, watching as her cheeks became redder by the second. "I… want to get to know you better, and I'm willing to give it a go… if you are." With my heart threatening to burst out of my chest, I waited for Kazuki's answer, each moment feeling agonizingly long.

"...I-in that case… I am always just a call away, Tsukasa. N-not a single word to any of the others, though! Especially not Yasuta-uph!" Kazuki was cut off as I couldn't hold back any more and captured her lips in a kiss. While initially surprised, Kazuki soon accepted it and leaned into the kiss. We didn't stay connected for long, though, before she lightly pushed me away. "...And absolutely none of… this allowed while at work, alright?"

"O-of course." I replied, then moved one of my hands up to her face, first cupping her cheek and then moving it behind her head, raking my fingers through her hair. "I… love when your hair is down like this…" Kazuki's cheeks flushed, and she grabbed a hold of my hand, pulling away and scowling at me.

"You're getting a bit too bold, Tsukasa." I swallowed nervously, and Kazuki let out a sigh, then looked away and spoke in a lower tone. "...Thank you, though. I… wanted you to notice it…" My own cheeks flushed alongside Kazuki's, and I felt myself smiling. Kazuki-san… "Alright, enough of this shit! While we're on company time we are nothing more than boss and employee, got that?" Kazuki separated herself from me and pointed her index finger at me, her expression making me flinch.

"Y-yes!"

"Good. Now, we get back to work." Kazuki said and turned away from me, taking a step away, then leaning over her shoulder and grinning at me. "Oh, by the way..."

"...Are you free after work today?"

AN: And that's a wrap! This turned out to be a lot longer than I initially planned (and took longer to write as a result as well – I'm very sorry to any readers of my regular stories, as this has definitely delayed my regular updates), but I'm ultimately very happy with how it turned out. Just goes to show what I can do when I actually plan things out properly well in advance, huh? Maybe I should start doing that more often.
