Chapter 181 - Be a Guiding Star! - 171

Consciousness returned to me slowly. An uncommon scenario, considering I'd normally wake up with little to no weakness plaguing me. It was different this time; every part of my body felt heavy and strangely warm, as if I'd just finished running a marathon or something.

I blinked, and I squinted slightly. The last thing I remembered was laying down by the riverside, and yet now the ceiling above me clearly belonged to my bedroom. And from the moonlight streaming past the window blinds, it seemed quite some time had also gone by since then.

At least I still had Oguri sleeping next to me, her arm coiled around mine as she used me as a makeshift pillow.

I groaned softly as I sat up, gently untangling myself from Oguri's grip as I let her sleep. I yawned as I rubbed my eyes, still confused as to what exactly had happened. I couldn't remember anything specific—I just knew that I felt hot for some reason, and also something about my…neck?

I knew that nothing concerning had happened, but my subconscious kept telling me that something monumental had just occurred. So, after a few more minutes of staring into nothingness, I finally salvaged enough motivation to stand up and make my way over to the standing mirror on the other side of the room.

Once I could see my full reflection in the mirror, I couldn't help but smile wryly. Because I looked like a mess. My hair was completely smooshed all over, my shirt was wrinkled with a few buttons unclasped, and even my shorts had been slightly dragged down from my waist. I quickly pulled my shorts up before anything else could happen.

And I stood there for quite some time, squinting at my own reflection. My appearance aside, my gut was telling me there was something else there I had missed. And the darkness certainly didn't help.

But eventually, I saw it. And my face paled slightly as I brought a finger up to my neck.

"Are those…?" I whispered, not quite able to finish my words. Because if I wasn't wrong, I had bite marks on my neck. They hadn't bruised or anything, but the fact that they were still there meant that whoever had bit me had done it with–

W-W-With…

…oh.

My face immediately turned bright red as I finally remembered everything that'd brought me to this moment, and it took every ounce of focus I had not to immediately collapse onto the floor. Instead, I planted my face into my hands as I silently screamed.

Because Oguri had kissed me! After months of being girlfriends, we'd finally made another step. A-And she'd been so suave about it, and I was basically melting like putty as her hands roamed across my b-body and–

I gulped as my mouth began salivating. 

I-I remember now. That first kiss was amazing, but we were left unsatisfied. And while Kasamatsu was a sleepy town, we didn't want to be charged with indecency. So we made a hasty retreat to my home, made sure that my parents weren't home just yet, and we then locked ourselves in my room.

And then we-, and we-

My legs had lost their strength by this point, and I was curled on the ground, hiding my face in my hands as I remembered everything with shameful clarity. 

We made out. Yeah. Y-Yeah. We made out.

It wasn't quite a full on umapyoi just yet, but it got scarily close. Oguri had been aggressive as she pinned me down onto the bed, and she made sure I knew that. Her hands, her lips, her teeth—she marked me with every part of her body. The only reason it didn't go any further was probably because I-, um, 

I fell unconscious.

Fuck. That made me sound like such a puss.

And to make things even worse, I was practically helpless through it all. Oguri had taken charge the entire way, and I was no better than a lovestruck damsel. The lack of any obvious marks on Oguri was a stark reminder of that.

I liked it, though. 

A breathy giggle escaped my lips. Oguri had ravished me, and it'd felt good. I squirmed slightly as I felt a deep warmth in my gut, and I quickly pinched my waist as I tried to ignore the tingling pulsing throughout my body.

Okay. Okay. Calm down, Blossom Star. You are a distinguished umamusume, admired by hundreds of thousands. Keep yourself together.

Deep breaths.

In. Out.

After a few minutes, I finally got myself together. I groaned softly as I stood back up, and I cleared my throat as I gave my reflection another look. My reflection stared back, cheeks still slightly red, eyes slightly teary, legs subtly shaking. Had anyone else seen me, they would've assumed I was down with a fever or something.

I took another deep breath as my ears flicked. I could faintly hear sounds coming from the first floor, so my parents were likely back home. And if both of them saw me, it'd be immediately clear what'd happened. I needed to quickly freshen myself up.

…Or did I? 

An embarrassed flush came to my cheeks as I brought my hand up to my neck. Being seen like this felt embarrassing, but an electrifying tingle also followed at the thought. After all, my relationship with Oguri wasn't a secret, and my disheveled state was almost like a mark that showed that I'd finally been claimed.

…Fuuu-, this better not be a kink. 

The debate bounced back and forth inside my head for the next few minutes, before my rationality momentarily lost. Another tingle ran up my spine, and with a bright blush, I shakily made my way out of my room, careful to keep quiet to let Oguri sleep.

My heartbeat sped up as I approached the steps. I could hear my parents even more clearly now. A shaky breath left my lips, and my legs felt like jello as I leaned onto the wall to keep myself standing. 

Yeah-, no. I couldn't do this. 

My cheeks were burning as I rushed to the nearby bathroom, and I quickly splashed some cold water onto my face to cool myself down. And with a focus usually reserved for racing, I began fixing myself up in record time. My shorts were fixed back into place, I buttoned my shirt back up, and I did my best to fix my hair. I even pulled up the collar of my shirt to try and hide all the bite marks.

Once I was done, I looked far more normal. I quickly rolled my shoulders, and taking a deep breath, I finally made my way down towards the first floor.

And as I expected, both my parents were there. My father had a smirk on his face as he spoke, while my mother was giggling. 

The conversation stalled when my father finally noticed my heading down, and he grinned as he waved at me. "Finally awake, sleepyhead?"

I smiled weakly. "Yeah." I yawned slightly as I glanced at the window. "What time is it?"

My mother giggled. "It's almost 7, dear."

I chuckled wryly. "Sorry for missing dinner." 

My father waved his hand. "Nah, it's fine." He grinned. "We haven't eaten dinner, either. We were waiting for you to wake up."

I sighed. "Then I'm even more sorry."

"It's no big deal." My father smirked. "After all, you were a bit busy with Oguri-chan, weren't you?"

"Mhm." I nodded as I unconsciously scratched my neck.

"Wait, what?"

He raised an eyebrow, his smirk deeply amused. "You didn't think we wouldn't know, did you?" He asked, his smirk growing. "Come on, we're your parents. Believe in us a bit more, would you?"

"I-, uh, whu-?"

My mother giggled. "You weren't that quiet, dear." She said, and I clutched my chest as I felt those words pierce my chest.

He snorted. "Sounds like a wild time." He commented, before he sighed fondly. "Ah, young love. Reminds me of how you and mommy were like when we were younger." He said, before he laughed as she gave his shoulder a playful slap.

"Oh, you~"

Meanwhile, I was slumped against the wall, a defeated smile on my lips as I felt my hard-fought dignity slowly crumbling away.
