Imaizumi Keita didn't let go. Instead, he pulled her a little closer.
"But, Anna-chan."
"I can't wait."
He released her wrist, wrapping one arm around her waist instead, while his other hand cupped the back of her head.
With a gasp from Yanami Anna, he pressed her entire body down onto the soft, large bed.
The mattress sank deeply under their combined weight.
Before she could offer any resistance, Imaizumi Keita's lips were already kissing the pale pink skin of Yanami Anna's neck.
"Mmm...!"
Yanami Anna felt her body go limp instantly, powerless to do anything but endure Imaizumi's kisses.
Imaizumi Keita lifted his head, looking down at the utterly pliant girl beneath him, and whispered softly in her ear:
"Anna-chan."
"...I want to do it."
"...Is that okay?"
This direct, almost crude question exploded in Yanami Anna's somewhat dizzy mind.
A powerful sense of shame, mixed with a hint of aggrieved offense from the bluntness, brought back a sliver of clarity.
Looking at Imaizumi's face, now ignited with desire, she couldn't help but feel that this version of him also radiated a charm she'd never felt before.
Yanami Anna knew what would happen next if she nodded now.
She would be completely and unreservedly possessed by him, just like the heroines in those romance novels.
She and Keita would become lovers in the truest sense.
But...
But...
She wasn't ready yet.
"...N-No."
It took several seconds before Yanami Anna turned her head and gave her answer of refusal.
"Huh?"
Imaizumi Keita's movements paused.
Less than an hour ago, he had promised Yanami he would ask her about things...
He wasn't the kind of scumbag who just sweet-talked girls to get their bodies...
"Sigh..."
He let out a long sigh, rolled off her, and lay on his back beside her.
Quiet fell over the room again, broken only by the sound of their heavy, synchronized breathing.
"Seriously."
Imaizumi Keita's voice held a trace of frustration at being rejected.
"Anna-chan, you were parading around in front of me in that shirt."
"And now you say no... Anna-chan, you little... just what do you want me to do?"
Hearing his complaining accusation, a wave of indignation also rose in Yanami Anna.
"H-How should I know! Keita, you're obviously shifting the blame here..."
"It was you who made me wear these clothes! Who knew you'd suddenly... just suddenly..."
As she spoke, she remembered everything that had just happened, and her cheeks burned once more.
"Besides, I... it's not that I... don't want to do that with you at all..."
Her voice grew smaller and smaller, until it became a whisper as faint as a mosquito's hum.
"It's just... I just think it's not the right time yet... I-I'm not mentally prepared..."
Hearing her words, Imaizumi Keita felt a wave of helplessness wash over him.
He turned to face her, reached out, and gently tucked the damp strand of hair clinging to her cheek behind her ear.
"Alright, alright, I get it."
His voice was much gentler than before.
"But," Imaizumi Keita said, looking at Yanami's somewhat guilty expression with a mischievous grin, "Anna-chan, the trouble you stirred up, you have to solve it yourself."
"Huh?"
"I really want to 'cook' right now..."
Imaizumi Keita's tone was filled with a matter-of-fact shamelessness, "So, what are you going to do about it?"
Yanami Anna looked at his face, which practically screamed 'come comfort me,' then at his lips that still carried her scent.
A desperate, 'what's done is done' kind of courage bubbled up from the depths of her heart.
"Then... then you can't force me..."
Yanami Anna made her choice.
So many things had happened today. After sorting through her feelings, she wasn't really panicked or filled with regret.
Perhaps their relationship really had reached this stage?
Yanami Anna sighed again, but now the atmosphere didn't feel so unhealthy.
After all, having been 'conquered' by Keita to the point of almost giving herself to him, it was only natural to take a small step back and do something he liked.
It wasn't like only Keita had thoughts and desires about that kind of thing; she actually wanted it too...
"Then I'll... try to learn... from the videos... and help you... release it..."
After saying this, Yanami Anna sat up on the bed under Imaizumi Keita's surprised and delighted gaze.
She adjusted her clothes and hair, then leaned over him and asked,
"Um, promise me, I'll do my best to satisfy Keita..."
"You're not allowed to lose control and 'eat' me!"
Seeing Keita nod, she felt slightly relieved and began to focus on her task.
A few seconds later, Yanami Anna stared at the shadow stretching across her face. As a self-proclaimed glutton, she wore a rare expression of conflict, anticipation, and blissful exasperation.
"How am I supposed to eat something this big..."
