Chapter 486: Spread Your Legs
Yuuna gently stroked Kouhei’s enlarged cock with her hand, moving her palm smoothly along its length beneath the hot water of the tub. The warmth surrounding them made the moment feel even more intimate, and Kouhei struggled to find the right words as he tried to make sense of what she was doing.
"Y-Yuuna-san..." Kouhei murmured, his voice faltering as he looked at her.
"Shhh..." Yuuna whispered when she noticed that he seemed about to say something. She moved closer, bringing her mouth near his ear before speaking in a soft, reassuring voice. "Just enjoy it and let it happen, Kouhei-kun. You don’t have to do anything right now."
Kouhei could feel her gentle touch as she continued, while her warm breath brushed against his ear whenever she spoke. There was something comforting about the way she treated him, as though she had already realized how exhausted he was and wanted him to stop worrying about everything for a little while.
"I want you to take your time and relax," Yuuna continued, her voice remaining calm and affectionate. "You don’t need to stress yourself over anything, okay? Just go along with it and let yourself rest. You don’t have to worry about anything while I’m here with you."
Her words gradually helped Kouhei relax, even though he was still struggling with his own reactions. He had been carrying so much exhaustion that simply having someone look after him without asking anything in return felt surprisingly comforting.
For once, he didn’t feel like he needed to explain himself, justify his decisions, or come up with another excuse for why he hadn’t taken a proper break. Yuuna wasn’t asking him to accomplish anything, solve a problem, or make some important decision. She simply wanted him to slow down and let someone else take care of things for a change.
That alone was surprisingly difficult for Kouhei to accept.
He was used to keeping his thoughts occupied, even when his body was practically begging him to stop. There was always another responsibility waiting somewhere, another problem that needed attention, or another situation that could become troublesome if he ignored it for too long. Taking a break often felt like he was falling behind, even when he knew perfectly well that he couldn’t keep working forever.
Yuuna seemed to understand that part of him better than he expected.
"You know, Kouhei-kun, you don’t always have to act as though the entire world will fall apart if you take a day off," she said with a small smile. "I’m fairly certain the world can survive without you solving all its problems for a few hours."
Kouhei gave her a tired look, although the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
"That’s a rather optimistic assessment of the situation, Yuuna-san."
"Then perhaps you should test it," Yuuna replied playfully. "Close your eyes, get some sleep, and see whether the world is still standing when you wake up. If something terrible happens, I’ll personally let you know."
"You’re making it sound as though I have a personal assistant."
"Well, you certainly behave like someone who needs one."
Her answer caught him off guard, and a quiet laugh escaped him before he could stop himself. It wasn’t a particularly loud or energetic laugh, but Yuuna seemed pleased to hear it regardless. She had been trying to get him to relax for a while, and even a small sign that his mind was finally easing up felt like progress.
Kouhei slowly let his shoulders drop, allowing himself to lean more comfortably against her. The water remained warm around them, and the quiet atmosphere made it easier to forget the endless list of things he would ordinarily be thinking about.
"See?" Yuuna said, sounding satisfied. "You’re perfectly capable of relaxing when you actually try."
Her expression softened again as she continued looking after him.
"I want you to take your time and relax," Yuuna told him. "You don’t need to stress yourself over anything, okay? Just go along with it and let yourself rest. You don’t have to worry about anything while I’m here with you."
"Y-Yuuna-san!" Kouhei exclaimed when his emotions and physical reactions finally became too much for him to handle.
He instinctively jerked his hips upward, and his body tensed as he reached his climax. Yuuna immediately leaned down to help him, paying little attention to the warm water surrounding them as she focused on making sure he was comfortable.
Kouhei breathed out a long sigh of relief, his shoulders finally relaxing as the tension that had been building inside him subsided. Yuuna soon straightened up again, watching him with a gentle expression that made it clear she was more concerned about his condition than anything else.
She brought a hand to her lips and swallowed before looking back at him, her usual playful smile gradually returning.
"Fufufufu, you really are something else," she teased, shaking her head slightly. "You always manage to surprise me, Kouhei-kun. Now, tell me honestly, are you feeling more relaxed?"
"Well... yes," Kouhei answered, sounding considerably calmer than before.
"Fufufu." Yuuna smiled at his response. "You really are cute, you know that? I would have loved to spend more time with you, but you’re clearly exhausted, and I don’t want you pushing yourself any further. You’ll have to make do with this for now."
She moved closer again and rested herself against Kouhei’s shoulder, allowing him to lean against her if he wanted. Her tone softened as she continued speaking, making it clear that she wasn’t merely teasing him anymore.
"After we finish bathing, you’re going straight to bed. I want you to get a long, proper sleep, and that’s an order. You’ve been running yourself into the ground for days, and I’m not going to let you keep doing that when you can barely stay awake."
"Okay," Kouhei replied, accepting her words without putting up an argument.
For once, he didn’t try to insist that he was fine or come up with another excuse to keep himself busy. He was simply too tired to argue, and Yuuna’s insistence made it easier for him to accept that resting was something he genuinely needed.
After finishing his bath, Kouhei went straight to bed. The moment he finally lay down and allowed himself to sleep, the hours passed until morning arrived.
His rest lasted so long that, under different circumstances, he might have considered it a waste of valuable time. However, the people around him saw things differently. After multiple days without proper sleep, this was the first time he had finally allowed himself to rest without immediately returning to his responsibilities.
For the others, seeing him sleep peacefully was a relief in itself. They had watched him continue pushing forward despite his exhaustion, and having him finally take care of himself was worth far more than whatever time he might have spent accomplishing something else.
***
Petra was having tea in her mansion, with Wanda being the only other person who remained there at the moment.
Since that day, Wanda hadn’t said anything about what had happened between Aegis, Kouhei, and Petra. In fact, she had barely brought up the subject at all, choosing instead to keep her thoughts to herself whenever the conversation came close to it.
It wasn’t that she necessarily wanted to avoid hearing about the incident. Rather, she seemed reluctant to talk about it in the first place, as though even mentioning what had happened would force her to confront feelings she wasn’t ready to deal with.
Petra had noticed the change in her behavior.
Wanda was clearly bothered by the fact that Petra had sex with Kouhei, and the jealousy she felt was difficult to hide completely. However, the thought of hearing Petra discuss the details only made her feel worse, so she chose to remain silent instead.
Petra, for her part, didn’t seem interested in forcing Wanda to explain herself before she was ready.
"Wanda, come and wash my back later when we take a bath," Petra said casually while continuing to enjoy her tea.
It sounded like an ordinary request, but Wanda immediately understood that Petra was referring to the promise she had made earlier. Petra had assured her that she would do something for her, and now she appeared ready to follow through.
Wanda’s face gradually turned red as she realized what Petra meant.
After a while, Petra finally headed to the bathroom, and Wanda followed her inside as instructed. The room was warm and quiet, with the sound of running water filling the brief silence between them.
Petra turned toward Wanda before saying anything else, her expression becoming more serious than it had been earlier.
"Wanda," she began, looking directly at her. "I want to be honest with you about something. I don’t swing that way."
Wanda’s expression fell slightly, although she tried to keep herself composed. The words weren’t exactly a surprise, since she had already suspected that Petra didn’t share her romantic feelings.
Petra might never have been involved in a relationship with anyone before, but Wanda had always understood that Petra wasn’t interested in women in the same way she was.
For a moment, Wanda didn’t know what she was supposed to say.
She wanted to pretend that the words didn’t affect her, but doing so would have been pointless. Petra knew her well enough to notice when she was hiding her feelings, and Wanda had no desire to lie to her about something so important.
"But," Petra continued, her voice softening as she noticed Wanda’s reaction, "if you still want to give me your love, then I’ll gladly accept it."
She spoke without making any promises she couldn’t keep. Petra didn’t tell Wanda that she would eventually return her feelings, nor did she suggest that her opinion might change someday. She simply offered to accept the affection Wanda wanted to give her, leaving the decision entirely in Wanda’s hands.
That distinction was important.
Petra was willing to accept Wanda’s love, but she wasn’t claiming that she could offer the same kind of love in return. She wanted Wanda to understand that clearly instead of holding onto expectations that might never become reality.
Surprisingly, Wanda didn’t seem particularly troubled by that arrangement.
Of course, a part of her still wished that Petra would look at her differently someday. She couldn’t simply switch off her feelings because Petra had been honest with her, and she knew that her affection wouldn’t disappear overnight.
Even so, having Petra by her side was already something she treasured.
Being allowed to stay close to her, to share the same space, and to serve her in whatever way Petra needed was enough to make Wanda feel that her feelings had a place in their relationship. She didn’t require Petra to make promises or pretend to feel something that wasn’t there.
For Wanda, simply being able to remain beside her was already meaningful.
"Now then..." Petra said, drawing Wanda’s attention back to her as she revealed what she had prepared.
Wanda stared at what Petra was wearing, and her face immediately grew even redder as she realized what Petra had in mind.
Petra was wearing a strap-on fitted with a large dick-shaped dildo, and she regarded Wanda with a calm expression before giving her the next instruction.
"Spread your legs."
