When I Told the Most Beautiful Girl in the School That My Confession Had Failed, She Suddenly Started Coming at Me With Unbearably Heavy Feelings

Chapter 3: Temptation and Motives

≪Hoshiumi Side≫

The soft glow of the lights tugged at the girl’s sunken consciousness.

When Nonoka Hoshiumi woke, she saw an unfamiliar ceiling.

Glancing to her side, she saw Ryoutarou Kamitsubaki sleeping with his back to her. The sight reminded her that she had been invited to his room.

(Ouch… Maybe I got a bit too carried away…)

She winced slightly at the pain radiating from her hips to her lower back.

Feeling an unpleasant, sticky sensation, Nonoka reflected on last night’s actions.

Her relationship with Ryoutarou had only recently taken this turn.

Nonoka’s body had developed more than most girls her age, and she wasn’t entirely uninterested in such matters.

She knew her body was more mature than other girls’, and she was aware of the many gazes from boys. Some of those gazes carried a lustful edge.

But Nonoka didn’t exactly dislike the situation.

She had her share of desires and curiosity about intimacy. Knowing she was seen as an object of desire by boys inevitably piqued her interest, whether she liked it or not.

Then came Ryoutarou’s invitation.

She knew about his bad reputation and understood she should be cautious about choosing her first partner.

But swayed by Ryoutarou’s smooth talk, she found herself in his bed. By the time Nonoka woke, the deed was already done.

(…Did I hurt Hinate-kun?)

Renji’s face flashed through her mind. She felt a slight pang of concern.

But that worry quickly vanished.

(Well, I can just apologize later… The one confessed to has the right to choose, right? Ryoutarou said it felt good, so it’s fine, isn’t it?)

Muttering this to herself, Nonoka convinced herself it was okay. In the end, it was just an excuse.

In exchange for this physical relationship, Ryoutarou had demanded she reject confessions from other guys. Drowning in momentary pleasure, Nonoka had agreed.

(I did something bad to Hinate-kun… But we were just movie buddies anyway, so we can hang out as friends again until this relationship ends. Dating can wait until this is over, right?)

Nonoka didn’t consider that Renji might be hurt. Having been spoiled growing up, she lacked the empathy to think deeply about others’ feelings.

(Once I’m satisfied, I can just end it. Hinate-kun will probably wait for me… right?)

“Yawn… Oh, you’re awake?”

“Good morning… We got a bit too wild last night, didn’t we?”

“Ngh… Phew. I was just in the mood yesterday, you know? That guy, Hinate, right? His face when he got rejected was priceless.”

Ryoutarou smirked with crude amusement, and Nonoka laughed along.

She wasn’t entirely indifferent to Renji, but faced with greater pleasure, she was powerless.

“Man, I’m getting in the mood again… Nonoka.”

“Jeez… Just one more time, okay?”

Pushed down by Ryoutarou, Nonoka’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

The more she felt, the more she craved, sinking deeper into the pleasure.

It would be a while before Nonoka realized she was trapped in a quagmire she couldn’t escape.
