Chapter 20
The interior of a softly lit room.
A lavish scarlet chandelier and a luxurious-looking bed. On the solid-wood table beside it sat wine and snacks in abundance.
In other words, this was a double room. A room with exactly one queen-size bed.
‘How did things end up like this?’
Looking out at the night view beyond the window, Vita kept thinking.
With both fists clenched and a tense, awkward expression on his face. For some reason, it even felt as though a few drops of cold sweat were trickling down his back beneath his clothes.
Swoosh-
Carlisle was showering right now.
Going back a while.
-Um, perhaps. Then there are two rooms…?
-Yes, of course!
After that conversation, Vita decided to stay the night.
‘It’s free, so how could I pass it up—?!’
Tomorrow was a holiday anyway.
Vita couldn’t pass up the amenities of a top-class hotel, especially the food at the buffet.
But what was this?
‘You said there were two rooms—!’
But surprise! That wasn’t actually the case.
Even if Vita felt betrayed by the staff now, there was nothing he could do about it.
‘How did things end up like this? Alone in a room with that bastard?’
Carlisle Schultz was a black-hearted bastard, after all. Vita had no idea what might happen from here on.
In fact, he could easily guess what it might be, which was why Vita’s face was as red as a tomato.
The truly important fact was—
That even knowing this, he had obediently stayed here anyway.
To be honest, he didn’t particularly object to the act itself.
If anything, just a tiny bit…
“Ah, seriously…!”
Vita ended up covering his face, overwhelmed by self-loathing and despair at himself.
It was all because of what had happened on the Ferris wheel. His body had definitely started feeling strange from that moment on.
Tap-
Then.
The bathroom door opened.
“Take a shower, Bianca.”
Carlisle had come out. But that crazy bastard had come out practically naked?
“Y-you crazy bastard-!”
Vita immediately picked up a pillow and threw it at Carlisle.
Even after getting hit by it, Carlisle merely chuckled.
“What’s wrong? We’re past that stage.”
“What do you mean by ‘between us’?!“
“We know everything about each other. And we’ve seen everything there is to see, too.”
“No, I don’t think of us that way.”
Vita refuted him with a deeply flushed face.
He couldn’t admit it, and never would.
“If you try anything funny today, you won’t get away with it!”
Carlisle laughed as if he couldn’t believe Vita’s words.
“Anyway, why don’t you wash up?”
Carlisle was definitely not wrong about that. Vita had been out all day, so his body did feel grimy.
Vita sighed and walked straight past Carlisle.
Then he took a shower…
Swoosh-
Strange delusions kept coming to mind. For no reason, the area between his lower abdomen and legs felt strangely restless.
He felt like he could die from embarrassment.
‘…I’ve finally gone insane!’
There was no way this could happen unless he had truly gone crazy, right?
So the reason this situation felt strange was—
‘Am I… reacting to that bastard…?’
Wasn’t his body reacting?
Overwhelmed by a flood of self-loathing, Vita ended up rubbing his face roughly.
‘No, this isn’t it.’
This really wasn’t it.
But the female form in the mirror was beautiful even to him, and he was becoming increasingly conscious of it.
A slim waist, modestly rounded breasts, and translucent, rose-colored skin.
Without realizing it, Vita swallowed hard.
‘I’m definitely going to get jumped.’
Unless the other person was impotent. And Carlisle Schultz definitely was not impotent.
Vita knew all too well that if Carlisle truly decided to go through with it, he would be swept along despite himself.
But that was precisely why it made even less sense.
‘No, why?!’
Why, exactly?!
Why wasn’t he particularly repulsed by that bastard, Carlisle Schultz?
Vita was truly at his wits’ end.
‘Is it because of the medicine?’
‘Or is it really just because, as he says, this body is lewd?’
‘No, that can’t be it!’
There was no way Vita was a pervert. That was what he believed.
‘It’s not anything like being a pervert.’
Aren’t the three basic human urges unavoidable? Sexual desire is included among them, too.
If anything, he was being thoroughly rational right now.
‘Y-yes, that’s right…!’
After thinking it over and over, Vita came up with a brilliant idea.
A truly perfect way to get out of this situation!
It couldn’t be helped.
He thought that once he relieved his desire, the strange thoughts in his head would disappear, too.
And so Vita immediately put the idea into practice.
“O-okay…”
Perhaps because his body was already hot, a breathy moan escaped him the moment he touched his most private part.
***
“Heh, heeut…!”
But there was one fact Vita had been completely unaware of.
-Hng, hng…
It had already been twenty minutes.
At first, it really had sounded as though Vita was taking a shower, but Carlisle was now almost at a loss.
‘What is that woman doing?’
Was Vita really doing it alone? While leaving a perfectly healthy man like him right outside?
Carlisle barely maintained his composure as he listened to the moans. They made him laugh hollowly; they were brazen, but cute, too.
“Haha…”
Seriously.
There were limits even to cuteness.
Carlisle quietly waited to see how far this would go.
He had no idea what Vita intended, and part of him wanted to go in and indulge Vita right away, but the novelty made him wait.
And after quite some time, Vita emerged from the bathroom.
Vita’s face was quite flushed, and his expression was strangely awkward.
“What took you so long?”
At Carlisle’s question.
What was this? Was Carlisle angry? Why had he suddenly become so stern?
Vita was a little flustered by Carlisle’s tone, but fumbled an excuse.
“…The water wasn’t coming out properly.”
“It was coming out perfectly earlier. Did you really just shower?”
What was with this guy?
For a moment, cold sweat trickled down Vita’s back.
‘W-wait, surely he couldn’t have heard…?’
After awkwardly watching Carlisle’s reaction, Vita answered.
“O-of course! Is there anything else to do in a bathroom besides showering?”
It was all a lie.
Vita had just finished pleasuring himself to relieve the torment of his persistent thoughts.
Perhaps because of that, his body did feel somewhat refreshed, and he was no longer particularly conscious of Carlisle’s presence.
“Ah, I’m tired. I’m just going to sleep now.”
Vita said that and, with a ‘Whatever, I don’t care anymore’ sort of feeling, jumped straight onto the bed.
He laid out pillows as a boundary.
“If you cross this line, you’re on your own! You can sleep beside me or on the floor, whatever.”
But for some reason, no answer came.
‘Did he seriously get offended over something so petty?’
That thought crossed Vita’s mind for a moment, but so what?
He’d already done all he could, so Vita really tried to go to sleep.
“……”
And perhaps ten minutes passed?
Vita’s eyes were wide open.
‘What the hell is that bastard doing…’
Carlisle had turned off the room’s lights, yet was standing motionless right where he had been. At first, Vita had thought nothing of it, but a lot of time had passed.
When Vita had glanced back a moment earlier, Carlisle had still been standing in the same spot, hadn’t he? The room was quite dark, perhaps because the blackout curtains had been drawn, so Vita couldn’t see Carlisle’s face. But a long while had passed since then, too.
‘What is it? What…?’
Vita suddenly began to feel—somehow—afraid.
And as luck would have it, he had gone into that damn haunted house today, leaving his imagination running wild.
For some reason, he suddenly thought of a movie in which a ghost suddenly possessed a friend.
“Um, Carlisle…?”
No answer came. All Vita had to do was turn around as he had earlier, but by then, he was already thoroughly frightened.
Cold sweat began to trickle down his back.
“Hey, seriously. Quit messing around…”
His arms and legs felt as though they had cramped up, and he couldn’t move.
Vita had trauma dating back to childhood. His older brother had once shown him a ghost, and Vita had been terribly frightened.
What if—what if it really was…
What if he had actually been possessed by a ghost? But Vita was too scared to check, so in the end, he squeezed both eyes shut.
‘Ugh…’
Then he sensed something approaching. He heard footsteps.
Vita tensed up completely.
And a short while later, the lights came back on.
“Heh-heh… hahaha.”
Laughter rang in his ears.
Only then did Vita realize.
Ah, he’d been tricked!
‘That bastard, seriously.’
Vita’s irritation flared at Carlisle for teasing him, but once all the tension drained away, strength left his entire body.
And, in fact.
To be honest, it was embarrassing that he had been frightened, and Carlisle Schultz now knew that Vita was still afraid of ghosts at his age.
‘…Of all people, it had to be him.’
He was both angry and embarrassed.
Vita immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
The soft bed suddenly dipped as a little more weight settled on it. It must have been Carlisle coming over. Soon, a whisper reached Vita’s ear.
“Tell me, Bianca. What were you doing in there by yourself?”
Vita was inwardly flustered, but barely managed to remain calm.
He really had heard it, apparently. Vita must have become so absorbed that the sounds had escaped.
‘I must never open my eyes!’
Vita was now almost desperate in his pretense of sleep.
“I know you’re not asleep.”
The one thing Vita had forgotten was that Carlisle Schultz was not the type to hold back. He had no intention of playing along with this childish game.
“You’re the one who provoked me first. You agree, Bianca?”
“Mmph-!”
And so, when Carlisle turned Vita’s head with his hand and their lips came together just like that, it was the natural next step.
***
A memory from long ago.
As a child, Vita had been curious about one thing.
‘What does a kiss feel like?’
One day, when his time came, he would meet a woman he liked, and if things went well, it would be something he eventually did, wouldn’t it?
At the time, Vita had thought it must be strange.
After all, there was no way he wouldn’t taste the other person’s saliva.
‘Why do people do it, anyway? Does it really feel that good?’
Now, he felt as though he understood the answer completely.
The problem was that Vita was the woman now, rather than the man.
Soft, pliant lips pressed flush against his dry ones.
“Mmm… hng.”
It was hard to breathe. Perhaps because of that, Vita felt as though his mind wasn’t working, growing increasingly hazy. The moment the other person’s tongue entered and stole his breath, his mind went blank.
‘No. This is…’
He made excuses once again.
He kept telling himself that this wasn’t his own will.
Maybe it felt good simply because Carlisle was skilled, but little by little, Vita was becoming someone other than the person he used to be.
Carlisle’s hand had been behind Vita’s small head for quite some time already. Their lips pressed and sucked at each other as they made deep, intimate contact and felt each other’s breath.
“Haa… haa…”
When their lips parted for a moment, Vita panted. The strange sensation from the Ferris wheel came back to life.
“How was today?”
The question came out of nowhere. Carlisle suddenly asked it with a serious expression, and Vita, whose head had been foggy, gradually returned to his senses.
“…What do you mean, how was it?”
“I had quite an enjoyable date with you today.”
“A-a date…?!”
Vita’s mind stopped. What was he talking about, saying something so absurd…
Carlisle was merely dumbfounded by his reaction.
‘What, is he for real?’
No matter how you looked at it, today had been a date. And yet Vita hadn’t been conscious of it at all.
He’d never encountered such an oblivious woman in his life. But Carlisle was of the opinion that what was good was good enough.
“There’s only one thing left after a date.”
With that, he lowered his head again.
But his lips were soon blocked by a soft hand.
“W-who said you could-?!”
To the red-faced woman, he said,
“I didn’t do anything like that with you today.”
Of course, Vita had enjoyed the day and eaten delicious food.
It was certainly true, but…
Vita couldn’t admit it. That was only natural.
“A-and besides… it wasn’t like I had that much fun. I mean, it was okay, but…”
The words came out in a mumble, rambling and incoherent.
Carlisle gave a quiet snort of laughter.
“It’s obvious you’re lying.”
“What do you mean, a lie?”
“Then how about this?”
Their sharp confrontation ended with an unexpected move—the card Carlisle had been holding.
***
In other words, it would be a contest in bed.
“We’ll settle the contest we didn’t finish last time today.”
That was something both Vita and Carlisle knew.
Their first contest in bed had been allowed to fizzle out without a proper conclusion.
So Vita had no way out here. Carlisle knew that, too, and to drive home his advantage, he added another move with a playful expression.
“Or should I spread the word that you did it by yourself?”
“Y-you crazy bastard-!”
Of course, the contest was important, too. But Vita felt wronged in his own way.
Did Carlisle even understand why Vita had done it? What it had felt like to finally surrender to his desire?
“It’s all because you…!”
Made me like this.
Fortunately, the rest of the words did not slip out of his mouth. But Vita was making an aggrieved face, so, unexpectedly, Carlisle spoke with a fairly serious expression.
“I’ll give you another chance.”
“A chance? What chance?”
“A chance for you to make up for everything you’ve done until now.”
Carlisle Schultz smiled.
“Coming to a hotel with me and secretly pleasuring yourself—you’re really something.”
In any case, setting all of Carlisle’s nonsense aside—
Vita found the offer somewhat tempting.
‘Another chance to make up for it?’
He’d kept trying to gloss it over. But he had definitely lost the last contest.
He had been swept away by unfamiliar pleasure.
And now Carlisle was proposing another contest.
‘But what about now…?’
Vita suddenly wondered.
In other words, wasn’t this situation considerably different from back then?
‘Yes, that’s right…’
He had already relieved himself once in the bathroom. Maybe that meant he had developed some resistance to the unfamiliar pleasure his body felt?
For some reason, a strange confidence welled up inside Vita at that moment.
“All right, then.”
And so he accepted the contest.
He had forgotten that he had never once beaten Carlisle—and that even after relieving his desire by himself earlier, this body of his was lewd and sensitive.
So perhaps the outcome had been predictable from the start.
“Huaaang… heeut!”
It took less than thirty minutes for Vita to lose control.
“Hey, Carlisle! W-wait a second…!”
Pssht—a jet of fluid spurted out.
A wet slapping sound escaped from the light-pink vulva.
“Aang… stop!”
This wasn’t how it was supposed to go.
The pleasure was flowing in a way he hadn’t expected, yet it was difficult to resist.
“Did you know, Bianca?”
But Carlisle didn’t seem to hear a word Vita said.
“Your body is really soft. So lewd and sensitive.”
He answered with a non sequitur, his hands idly caressing Vita’s body.
After that, things between the two of them caught fire. For two young people, it was only natural.
From Vita’s neck to his ears, from his pelvis to his navel.
Carlisle’s lips roamed every inch of Vita’s feminine body.
The robe Vita had been wearing had somehow fallen onto the floor beside the bed, and his two slender white legs trembled with yearning.
“You’re really wet today, too.”
At those words, Vita, embarrassed, squeezed his legs together for a moment, but Carlisle’s firm hand spread them wide open again.
“S-stop it…!”
Looking at the pretty vulva, its tightly sealed slit forming a straight line, Carlisle chuckled low in his throat.
“Just as expected, you’ve got such a pathetic pussy. Right, Bianca?”
“N-no, I don’t…”
“What do you mean, you don’t?”
Vita was about to deny it, but when Carlisle rubbed it, Vita flinched in shock and drew himself up.
“Hngh- hey…!”
Letting out little moans and clinging to Carlisle’s body—
Vita’s expression melted, and, bucking his slender waist, he ended up coming helplessly.
Even though they had only just begun, the air in the room was already hot.
