After finishing our shaved ice, Hikari glanced toward the towering slides that twisted high above the park.
"Souta-kun… should we try that next?"
"The slide?"
"It looks fun. Though it's been years since I've gone on one."
"Then let's go. I'll go first, so you can watch how it's done."
We climbed the stairs together, the metal hot beneath our wet feet.
The higher we went, the more the breeze tugged at her hair. I tried my best not to admire her figure in that black one-piece too much.
"Souta-kun, you're not nervous at all?"
"I'm nervous about you drowning."
"I'm not going to drown on a slide!"
"Actually, aren't there height limits for this? Are you tall enough?"
"I'm not a child!~"
We both smiled knowingly.
Actually, Hikari was quite tall for a woman. She had long, slender legs and was 170cm tall. By the way, I'm 190cm.
When it was our turn, I went first, shooting down the slick tunnel. Cool water sprayed against my body, and in seconds I was thrown into the pool below. I surfaced, laughing, waving up at her.
"Hikari-san, your turn!"
She hesitated at the top, then pushed herself forward. Her cute yell carried all the way down, high and girlish, until she burst out into the pool with a tremendous splash.
I caught her as she stumbled, arms instinctively wrapping around her waist. Her wet body pressed against me, her chest bouncing against mine as she gasped for breath.
"Ah—Souta-kun…"
"Are you okay?"
"Yes… I just didn't expect it to be that fast."
She was laughing, cheeks flushed, clinging to my shoulders as if she might sink. I tightened my grip, steadying her.
"You did great. You didn't drown."
"I'm tempted to go drown for real now."
"Please don't."
She laughed and she didn't move away right away. The water rippled around us, cool and refreshing, yet her body against mine felt dangerously warm.
When she finally pulled back, brushing hair from her face, she wore the brightest smile I'd seen on her all day.
"That was fun. Let's go again."
"Hikari-san, let's go to the bigger one. We can go together."
We went to the base of the slide and watched a couple shoot down together. The girl clinging to the boy's back.
"That looks like fun! Let's go, Souta-kun!"
"Okay!"
We climbed up the stairs together. I was happy to see how much fun she was having.
When you see people you love happy, you tend to become happy too.
"Two people? Then the one in the back needs to hold on tight."
Hikari naturally moved forward, settling herself between my legs. The black one-piece clung to her body, water still glistening across her thighs.
I was disappointed that she didn't want to hold me from behind, pressing her soft boobs against my back but I guess she still had reservations as a woman.
But I would never turn down the chance to hold my Hikari-mama.
My arms wrapped firmly around her waist. The warmth of her body pressed against my chest, her back fitting perfectly against me. I could feel every subtle shift of her curves through the thin fabric.
I could feel myself starting to get hard again. If we go down at this speed, my dick would probably break, no? Little brother, you need to calm down.
The signal light flashed green.
We launched forward together.
The slide swallowed us, water rushing beneath as we hurtled down. Hikari squealed in a girlish manner while clutching my arms tightly. Her hair whipped against my cheek, droplets spraying everywhere. The tunnel twisted, spraying us with bursts of water, our bodies slamming together with each bump.
"Souta-kun—ahh!"
Her voice carried over the roar of the slide, her body writhing in my grip as she laughed breathlessly. I held her tighter, one arm across her stomach, the other braced against the side. Every curve of her back pressed against me, every jolt forcing her soft chest against my ribs.
Light burst ahead as we shot out of the tunnel, plunging into the pool below with a violent splash.
We surfaced, both gasping for air. Hikari turned, still laughing, her hair plastered against her flushed face. She held onto me, her hands gripping my shoulders.
"That was… amazing!"
"Yeah!"
She quickly splashed me with water, laughing.
"Let's do it again, Souta-kun!"
By the time we packed our things and made our way to the car, the sky was already shifting to dark. The day had drained us, but in a good way. My muscles ached pleasantly, my hair still damp from the shower.
Hikari slipped into the passenger seat with a content sigh, fastening her seatbelt. Her cheeks were flushed from the sun, her damp hair tied loosely, strands sticking to her neck. Even after hours in the water, she looked radiant.
I started the engine, guiding us smoothly out of the parking lot. For a while, the car was filled only with the sound of tires on the road and the faint hum of the air conditioner.
Then Hikari spoke, her voice soft.
"Souta-kun… I had fun today."
I glanced at her. She was looking out the window, her lips curved in a small, genuine smile.
"I'm glad. You looked like you were enjoying yourself."
"I really was. It's been such a long time since I laughed like that. Thank you, Souta-kun."
"You're welcome. I had fun too. By the way, we stayed a little longer than I thought. Is Kotoha going to be fine?"
"She's not a little kid. I left some food wrapped on the table."
As we approached our destination, I spoke.
"Hikari-san. Let's go somewhere again sometime. Next time, with my car."
"…Okay."
With that, I've secured my first step to conquering Hikari. Another step closer to drinking her milk.
