Immediately, the masculine scent of Satoru's rose to my nose, making me feel unspeakably hot again in a flash. My pulse began to race.
It was a little too close for me - but only for the hallway of the dormitory. Surely the rumor mill around us was already boiling. So I hesitantly took a step back, but immediately realized that there was no further escape as I was already leaning against the closed door.
He had a talent for it, though.
I swallowed hard. Hopefully we were alone in the corridor at the moment, because I didn't want to have been a target for the rumor mill, even if I would have loved to have snuggled up closer to him. However, as if he had heard my thoughts, he pulled me close to him again and I shuddered as I looked at his face - much more at his eyes, which were covered by the black blindfold.
Satoru placed his index finger under my chin and leaned down a little towards me. I instinctively held my breath and was no longer able to push him away from me. What was he doing to me again? My heart quickened fourfold as his face came closer and closer to me.
I blinked.
Didn't we just have this? What was his intention behind that? As if paralyzed, I felt his soft lips graze the corner of my mouth before they made their way over my cheek, kissing tenderly. They glided delicately up to my ear, where they stopped.
I felt an unspeakable icy shiver run down my spine, not realizing that I had almost clawed my way into his cloud-white shirt.
"That dress looks really good on you, beautiful," he whispered to me, before biting my earlobe tenderly, eliciting a sharp intake of breath.
...!
He didn't really do that?
I immediately braced my hands against him to regain a little of my stolen distance and looked up at his face again in horror. I was immediately covered in goose bumps, while the air got stuck in my throat. My cheeks were literally burning, which had certainly turned the color of a juicy cherry. As had happened too often that evening.
How dare he! I was more than overly sensitive in my ears, which meant that it wasn't just there that I was irritated.
"Satoru!" I hissed, growling, yet quietly enough to make it clear to him that he had completely hit me with it, "are you crazy?"
But instead of showing remorse, the corners of his mouth lifted, while his shoulders began to shake treacherously. Was he laughing at me? What a lout!
"You're really mean!" At first I thought you were going to kiss me and then that? If only you knew that you were arousing me..., "Next time I won't even turn around to watch you while you're bathing!" I promised him quietly and threateningly, referring to the action I had almost caught earlier.
"An invitation for the next time? I'll gladly accept."
I closed my eyes and turned my head to the side. All I wanted to do was defend myself, what had I done instead? Invited him to bathe again. I mentally applauded myself - first think, then speak...
"No, not really. Although you don't stick to it anyway. And now come on! Let's go! I don't want the other two to see us!"
To emphasize my words once again, I put even more pressure on his muscular upper arms, which I still didn't let go of, causing him to finally release me from his clutches. He laughed at me, but he was punished immediately. I reached out with the flat of my hand and gave him a slap on his tight bottom, which, admittedly, was perfectly accentuated by his beige trousers.
"Mayu!" he hissed over his shoulder, while I walked past him with a quick step and a giggle.
Of course, I was careful to place my hands protectively on my bottom. Fortunately for me, our unconventional advances remained undetected by Megumi and Kento, which secretly relieved me.
