"You're saying Mashiro might have a boy she likes?"
Rita perked up instantly. She uncurled from her defensive ball and sat cross-legged on the bed, her curious eyes locked onto Rin's.
She nudged his shoulder with her own.
"Tell me what happened after Mashiro got here. I asked her before, but she seems to be hiding something from me."
"Well..." Rin smiled and stood up to return to his computer. "You'll have to ask her that yourself."
"Ehhh~~~ Tell me!" Rita whined, shaking his shoulder playfully, but Rin remained unmoved, focusing on his monitor.
Rita's gaze bounced between Rin and the screen. The doujin he was drawing featured not just beautiful girls, but also a male lead filling them to the brim.
In Eriri's manga, it would have been multiple leads.
Rita's eyes eventually settled on the male character on the screen. "By the way... are real men actually built like the ones you draw? It's completely different from the classical sculptures I've seen."
"Sculptures prioritize the 'rational' large head, so they make the 'lower' head smaller. I draw adult manga. It's the opposite—we make the lower head larger for emphasis."
Rin glanced at Rita. She spoke about male anatomy without a hint of shyness, much like the original Mashiro. She looked at it like she was studying a piece in a gallery. Spending that much time with Mashiro really rubbed off on her.
"I see..." Rita nodded, then changed the subject. "Have you ever modeled for Mashiro? The... naked kind?"
"...I have." Rin hesitated but decided to be honest. First, he didn't know how much Mashiro had already told her. Second, knowing Rita's understanding of Mashiro, she probably guessed Mashiro would make such a request.
Rita wasn't surprised at all. She knew Mashiro had very little sense of gender boundaries. If she asked Nanami for research, she'd definitely ask Rin too.
"You want some 'research' material too?"
"Can I?" Rita's eyes sparkled.
Rin rolled his eyes at her.
"I'll give you material when you actually start drawing your own manga."
"Tch~"
Rin continued to draw while casually chatting with Rita about Mashiro and his own work.
He noticed that Rita was unfazed by the explicit images in his doujins, yet she became incredibly bashful the moment the conversation turned to actual romantic or sexual feelings.
According to her, she was used to statues, so the art was fine, but the implication of sex made her shy.
As midnight approached, Rita began to yawn. Rin saw her sleepiness and put his computer to sleep, then pulled a futon from the closet and laid it on the floor.
Rita: "I feel a bit bad making the owner of the room sleep on the floor..."
Rin: "Then you sleep on the floor. Or, if you don't mind sleeping with me, you can take the bed."
Rita: "What an ungentlemanly man~"
Despite her words, Rita wouldn't actually sleep in the same bed as Rin. Nanami was right next door. No matter how generous a girlfriend was, no one wanted another girl in her boyfriend's bed.
Impossible. Absolutely impossible!
After a muffled sneeze, Rita laid her head on the pillow.
"Goodnight~"
Rita said goodnight, but Rin couldn't rest at all!
Not long after falling asleep, Rin felt himself being entangled... literally.
At some point, Rita had crawled from the floor futon into his bed. Her limbs were wrapped around him like an octopus, squeezing him so hard it was difficult to breathe.
If it were anyone else, Rin would have welcomed it. But with Rita... Her body was great, and the feel of her soft breasts against him was pleasant, but she was squeezing him too tight.
Rin had to wake her up and push her back to the floor. An hour later, a sleep-dazed Rita crawled back up again. After two more attempts to move her, a frustrated Rin gave up and let her cling to him.
Until the next morning...
In his half-asleep state, Rin heard the bedroom door open. He cracked an eye open to see Mashiro in her light blue pajamas leaning over them.
Rin was about to speak, but Mashiro held a finger to her lips in a shushing gesture. Rin's brain was foggy from sleep, but his lower half was wide awake.
Since Rita arrived, Mashiro hadn't had a chance to be intimate with him.
Tangled with Rita under the AC, Rin was a bit hot. The thin blanket was tossed aside, allowing Mashiro to uncover his "rod."
Without making a sound, Mashiro tucked her hair behind her ear and leaned down. After a few soft kisses and licks, she opened her mouth and took him deep.
Hiss...
Mashiro really didn't care if Rita woke up. If they were caught now, her parents would probably drag her back to England by force.
Rin wanted to stop her, but he didn't dare move too much, suppressing his instinct to thrust. He could only hope Mashiro kept the noise down.
Fortunately, Mashiro was efficient. Sensing Rin was near his limit, she lowered her head further and constricted her throat.
Mmph... Gulp...
The sound of swallowing filled the quiet room. A moment later, Mashiro lifted her face, keeping a bit of the fluid in her mouth. After pulling Rin's pajama pants back up, she leaned over to Rita's sleeping face.
She shot Rin a look, then parted her lips, letting her saliva—mixed with Rin's "proof of charm"—drip onto Rita's cheek.
Hiss... Mashiro is turning into a literal succubus.
The warm fluid on her cheek made Rita wrinkle her nose. Before she could open her eyes, Mashiro's tongue slid across her skin, licking the moisture away.
A groggy Rita opened her eyes to see Mashiro licking her cheek like a kitten.
Rita: "Mmm... Mashiro? Why...?"
Mashiro: "Time to wake up."
Mashiro offered no explanation. She simply told her to get up, stood up, and walked out of the room. Looking at Mashiro's back, Rita suddenly realized where she was.
She knew she was a messy sleeper. She also knew that no matter how generous a girl was, she would be furious to find another woman in her boyfriend's bed.
Even if nothing happened, it was a disaster!
Nanami was Mashiro's best friend, and Rita was too. If Nanami got angry, Mashiro would be caught in the middle. Rita scrambled out of bed and stumbled over to Mashiro, whispering frantically as she checked the hallway.
"Mashiro, let me explain! You know I'm just a messy sleeper! Don't tell Miss Nanami!!!"
