Chapter 25. ~Rewards for Her Efforts~ (3/7)

After work, I headed over to Rosa’s apartment, and from that day onward we began our intense study sessions.

For our second day studying together, the reward I offered her was a cuddling session until she fell asleep in my arms tonight if she got everything in our review session at the end correct.

After three hours straight we got to the end and I gave her a test. Once she finished I marked it and it turned out she’d gotten everything correct without a single mistake.

As that was the case the two turned in for bed together. I carried her the same way the night before only this time I let her down gently. The mood in the air between us was quite good. When I laid down beside her on the bed I pulled her close to my chest. With her head tucked beneath my chin, clasping the front of my shirt in both hands, I could smell her fragrant hair right at the source. We ended up dozing off with our legs intertwined closely together beneath the sheets wrapping us together.

Our third day together played out rather similar to this. Only, this time, the reward was slightly different. Originally I intended for the same reward but I’d whisper sweet nothings into her ear until she fell asleep. However, she wasn’t fully satisfied and negotiated for a bit more. Though it was hard to really call it a negotiation with the way she forcefully stripped off my shirt before I agreed to such a condition. Once she’d done that she took the reward as it was originally promised to her.

Our fourth study session together was on Friday. The reward this time was… a make-out session until she fell asleep. Without needing to worry about waking up early in the morning Saturday I really made her work for this reward. We covered a lot more topics and went for much longer. 

We had several breaks in between rather than a single tediously long session. However… she didn’t even seem to care for those breaks. She said she just enjoyed talking to me and hearing my voice more than anything else and that she could do that for hours on end without any break. In the end, the break ended up being more for me than for her.

With the difficulty and much larger scope of the test I prepared for her this time, I expected she’d make at least one mistake. However, against my expectations, she passed it with flying colors with little to no effort.

As such, I was forced to take the lead to deliver her reward. When we sat down on her bed together we drew closer until our lips touched. For several hours straight, the only thing that could be heard inside that enclosed room of hers was what could only be described as the sound of love. Lips interlocking, separating, before rejoining once more. My hands would slide across her body, from her neck, waist, legs, arms, hands, back, lips, cheeks, ears, to regions all throughout her hair. I thoroughly examined her body from head to toe while she did the same to me.

It turned into a long night of getting to thoroughly learn about each other’s finer features on a physical level. By the time she finally fell asleep in my arms, I was dead tired.

Saturday I spent all the time I had before work helping her study. After work, we resumed. We covered even more than the day before. Her progress had been nothing short of amazing as far as I was concerned.

When she completed today’s test with everything correct, I wanted to cry a bit. The rewards were really going up and so was my stress meter having to go through with said rewards. With an increase in how much she had to handle, the motivation incentive naturally needed to increase as well.

As such… I got to work and did the deed.

I climbed on top of her on the bed and pinned her down. We weren’t crossing the line, rather it was just simple kisses. Or not so simple.

After yesterday, I had a much better understanding of her body. In a way, I’d inadvertently used these rewards for her as an excuse to study my girlfriend's body. I’d more or less learned all her weak spots.

I started with a kiss directly on her left collar bone high up near her shoulder socket. The instant I did her eyes opened up in confusion and her body squirmed a bit beneath me.

Her confusion was naturally the electric-like tingles coursing through her body originating from where I kissed her. That was one of the spots where her body was quite sensitive. I moved over to her other side directly beneath her jaw on her right and kissed her just beneath it before I moved a bit higher to her right ear lobe and briefly kissed her just the same there.

“Ah~” A moan inadvertently leaked out from between her lips as her toes curled up.

She looked a bit scared since she didn’t seem to understand what was going on. It was no doubt something she’d never experienced before.

I didn’t wait for her and continued my assault. I moved lower down her body and slid her shirt a bit up. I gave her a peck near her right rib directly below her chest and her body tensed up.

“Wait~”

I did not and moved lower directly below her belly button and kissed her softly. Her thighs instinctively squeezed together.

“What’s even happening~”

She didn’t understand a thing.

I planted another kiss near her right inner thigh and her entire body momentarily shuddered as her right hand reached down and combed through my hair.

“Hah… hah… what’s with this? How are you-”

I turned her onto her right side before she could finish her question and immediately gave her a kiss under her left shoulder blade on her back. The second I did that it was like she’d been struck by lightning. Her eyes opened wide as the pitch of her voice shot up several octaves higher and her legs bent back as though she’d jumped in fright.

Rolling waves of electricity were coursing all throughout her body running amok beyond her control.

When her body finally relaxed, it slumped down on the bed devoid of its strength.

“Hah… hah… hah… hah… hah…” For the first time, she was panting and short of breath. 

It took a while before she finally caught her breath and opened her mouth.

“What the hell did you just do? Why... did a few simple kisses feel so good and leave me in this sort of state after such a short period of time? I don’t get it at all.”

Though the reward hadn’t lasted long, to her it definitely didn’t seem to be that short with how short of breath she was. She normally wouldn’t be this out of breath unless she exercised for a few hours based on how much stamina she had.

“Consider them your weak points. Areas of your body that are overly sensitive to touch. Guys tend to have thicker rough skin while girls have thinner, much softer skin which is far more sensitive than guys. Though guys also have these sorts of sensitive areas, they’re definitely nowhere near as sensitive as it is for a girl.”

“What the hell? Why do you even know where mine are? Are you some sort of pervy sage?”

“I took the opportunity yesterday during your last reward to figure yours out.”

“This is… unfair.”

“Well, that’s your reward for today.”

She looked somehow relieved it was over. I could tell it felt good to her, but she had still startled her the way all the most sensitive weak points on her body that she wasn’t even aware of herself had been easily seen through by another.

“My boyfriend is… a more formidable opponent than I first thought.” She grumbled those words to herself before she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Well, it’s the experience that comes with age after all. Some high school brat isn’t going to figure all this out after a few hours of feeling up his girlfriend.

With Saturday out of the way Sunday soon arrived. I woke up a bit early and headed out to a store before we began her longest study session yet. I picked up a few things that would be needed for the reward I planned for her.

When I returned we immediately began. It was the last day before she would retake her first midterm so I deemed this reward a bit necessary for her in a way after all the hard work she’d put in so far.

We powered through all day Sunday studying like crazy. I split up tests into chunks rather than making her do them all at the end. Altogether, we had five tests, we fully dedicated one test to each subject throughout the day. She ended up passing them all with flying colors as usual. I’d gone a bit easier with the tests this time though because I felt the reward was necessary.

When it was 9:00 PM we called it a day and I made preparations to deliver her reward. I placed down a piece of fabric on the ground in the living room and explained what today’s reward was. When she heard the details she put up a defensive look on guard after remembering what transpired the day before and said, “You’re going to try what you did yesterday, aren’t you? I’m not falling for that again.”

“I’m not, I promise. Besides, did you hate yesterday’s reward that much?”

“... no. Rather than say I hated it… I’m scared of how good it felt. Scared that I might get addicted to that weird feeling.”

“It won’t be like that this time. You know, those weak points react in different ways to different methods. This method isn’t going to be quite the same.”

“You’re not lying, are you?”

“No, I’m not.”

“Hmm… then… I’ll do it. You said you wanted me to lie down on this, right?”

“Oh, right. Strip before you lie down on your stomach. You can wrap this towel I bought around your front.”

“S-Strip! You’re telling me... you want me to strip my clothes... and lie down on the ground while wrapped in that towel?”

“Yes.”

“Really?”

“Does my face look like I’m kidding?”

“Isn’t this a bit…”

“My intentions are purely to help you. Just fully entrust your body to me. Nothing that you don’t want to happen will happen. If you ask me to stop, I’ll immediately stop without questions.”

“Then… okay. You are my boyfriend. Something like this… shouldn’t be a problem… I think.”
