Saimeno Love Hotel Extended Part One

	...I fell backwards onto the elaborate bedding behind us, Yumeno-san still clinging to me. Just when I thought things would start winding down, they picked right back up again.

	My face turned red… I hadn’t expected things to get to this level.

	“Shuichi… for a wolf, you aren’t very aggressive…”, she murmured under her breath. I could feel each syllable against my chest as warm bursts of air.

	That’s right... I am, or was… a wolf.

	“Ha… Well, that kind of thing… just isn’t in my nature… sorry if that disappoints you”, I admitted, feeling slightly more guilty than I reasonably should.

	“I even said you could take it… the magic inside me”, Yumeno-san told me in a hushed whisper. I didn’t know exactly what she meant by that… although I had a few guesses.

	I bit my lip. I was starting to feel more guilty. I know this is just her fantasy but for whatever reason, I felt I should be doing more as her familiar. I couldn’t explain why I thought that way.

	I slowly wrapped my arms around her as she had to me. She moaned impatiently, sensing my hesitation. I tightened my hold on her… she felt so small that I was afraid I’d hurt her if I gave it my all. Probably an unfounded fear, but that was how I felt.

	“Shuichi… why are you so reluctant? This isn’t something… a mere retainer normally gets to experience…”, Yumeno-san complained… she didn’t sound angry though, more just curious.

	“Like I said… this kind of thing is unfamiliar to me”, I said. It wasn’t a great excuse, but I didn’t know what else to tell her. She lifted her head from my chest and stared me right in the eyes.

	“I see… that’s probably my fault as your master. I should demonstrate what I mean… for a retainer, you’re too clever… making me pamper you when I was the one asking for it”, Yumeno-san replied as she leaned in closer.

	Yumeno-san’s hair brushed past my cheek as she started nibbling lightly on my ear. I nearly jolted from the surprise…

	“Y-Yumeno-san!”, I shouted, my eyes widening.

	But of course she didn’t answer. Her body wriggled as it pressed against me, but that sensation was drowned out by the ticklish gnawing happening above. It was a wholly unfamiliar sensation… but not an unpleasant one.

After a moment, she dropped down and wrapped her arms around my neck. Her face was nearly up against mine. “Something like that, okay?”, she said as she pulled me to the side and flipped me over top of her, our positions reversed.

I was now looking down at Yumeno-san, her eyes looking back up at me expectantly. Her hat had fallen off, and her red hair messily spread out across the sheets. I was lost in the sight of it until she parted her hair back on one side, revealing her pale ear.

I took a deep breath… I was going to do this? My eyes tried to dart around nervously, but of course all I could see was her. “O-Okay… Yumeno-san… I’m g-going to do it, okay?”, I stuttered out anxiously.

“Hm… Don’t you think you’re being too formal about this? I mean… even in this situation, you’re addressing me like that…”, she said, making a depressed face. She was right of course but…

No. I shouldn’t keep hesitating… she’ll be unhappy if I do.

“R-Right… H-Himiko…”, I said as if I was swallowing a lump of anxiety in my throat. She had an almost cat-like smile to hearing that… I guess it was good then.

Just as I was about to lean in, she stopped me.

“I k-know what I said about you being reluctant… but remember, our contract forbids you from harming me…”, she warned. I smiled faintly. So she was just as nervous as me… that put me at ease, just a little.

“Don’t worry… H-Himiko… as your familiar, I wouldn’t dare think of it”, I said, trying to put her at ease as well. Huh, maybe I was starting to get into this as well.

I leaned in and started nibbling gently on her ear. It was difficult to find the right intensity for this sort of thing… she wriggled and moaned as I gnawed around the edges. W-Was I like this a moment ago?

I couldn’t see her face like this… but she sounded happy. And more than I thought it would… that made me happy too.

After a moment, as if by instinct, I pulled back and switched to her other ear without any prompt from her. “S-Shuichi! T-That’s good… this is w-what it means… to pamper me… remember this”, she said in excited gasps… she was trying to sound cool but it didn’t come across that way.

Awhile later I pulled myself away from her, but she wrapped her arms around me and pulled me back in. She started stroking my hair lightly, “See? I knew you c-could do it, Shuichi… this is why I chose you as my retainer… you hesitate, but you always come through when you’re most needed…”, she explained in a soothing voice.

“T-Thanks… it’s n-nothing”, I replied, embarrassed… but I couldn’t shake the feeling she was referring to something other than this situation...
