[Book of Eros] Chapter 28: Leonardo’s relief. (Patreon)

Sluggishly, Reiko sat up on the futon, smiling excitedly at him.

“Does that mean it worked…!?” she asked, covering her smile with her hands.

“I… I think so…” Leonardo’s mind was blank. He had spent so much time thinking of the things he wanted to do but couldn’t. And now that he had an erection for the first time in his life, the rest of his body didn’t know how to respond. He stood still, on his knees, looking down at the tent in his boxers, a part of him afraid to look at it or touch it. But Reiko was anything but afraid.

“Let me,” she said quietly. “Please.”

Leo tried to swallow, but his mouth was dry. He couldn’t even answer. He could hear his heart beating in his ears. Reiko got in all fours in front of him and carefully slid his boxers down. His throbbing, almost painful erection was in front of her face. She hesitated for less than a second before licking her lips and holding his length with one hand as gently as she could, fingers forming a ring around his girth. He flinched. He felt the warmth of her hand on him. He felt something grow inside him. It was like something had finally touched the phantom limb. Gently, Reiko licked the tip of his cock, and a strong wave of pleasure ran through his body from such short contact. It almost made him lose consciousness.

“Haaah…” he gasped.

Reiko started stroking him. Her fingers, wrapped around his length, barely brushed against him. It was like she was afraid to be rough, and he appreciated it. Even the most minimal contact was making his mind blank. He felt lightheaded. For the first time, he was very aware of his penis, his testicles, and the sensations coming from them.

Reiko licked him again. She kissed him lovingly, not unlike the kisses they’d already shared. He was too dizzy to meet her eyes, so he closed them and focused on her touch. She stroked him, licked him and kissed him. It was clumsy. The work of someone with no experience. Yet it was the most wonderful sensation Leonardo had ever experienced. Something rose from within him. He knew what it was. He’d felt it before, when masturbating. In his mind, he was ready for disappointment, a result of years of conditioning to know that nothing would come of it. Yet when Reiko took the tip of his cock inside her mouth and gave it a gentle suction, he came.

He shot his first ever real ejaculation inside Reiko’s mouth, startling the girl. The amount was definitely more than the few pitiful drops he was used to. A shockwave of pleasure ran through his body. It was real. It was the real thing. His body knew it. Leonardo released the breath he just realized he’d been holding. His body felt heavy, his heart thundered, yet it felt good. And without even noticing, tears started flowing from his eyes. His lip quivered, and he noticed Reiko looking up at him, having swallowed his cum. She eyed him with deep worry, fearful she’d done something wrong. But she hadn’t done anything wrong. She’d done everything right. It was because of her that he’d felt something for the first time. It was like years of burdens and frustrations had left in a single moment. He lifted his girlfriend up and hugged her tightly. She yelped from how sudden it was, but soon reciprocated, rubbing his back lovingly.

“Thank you…” he whispered, his voice breaking. Tears now rolled freely down his face. He couldn’t hold them, no matter what he did. “Thank you… Thank you…”

“I felt good, too,” she said, giggling.

He held her for a long moment before they sat in front of each other on the futon.

“Do you want me to do that again?” Reiko asked, examining his face carefully.

Leonardo had already wiped the tears away, but he suddenly felt extremely tired. It was an odd feeling, but after that fleeting moment of pleasure, his body now felt heavy. He felt clumsy. He’d never felt this exhausted before.

“No,” he said, shaking his head. “I… I feel like I don’t even know my own body anymore. It’s hard to explain. I don’t normally feel tired, but now I do. I definitely want us to do this again, but now I think I need to rest.”

“Okay,” she nodded in understanding. She then gave him a bright smile that warmed his heart. “I’m happy for you, Leonardo-san.”

He answered with a tired smile of his own. “Just call me Leo if you want. Our relationship is going so fast that we might as well,” he chuckled.

“Then you quit using the honorific with my name,” she told him.

“Deal.”

They took turns using the shower next door. Actually, Leo had to take a bath. He felt like he could barely stand. Reiko changed back into her uniform while Leo got dressed in comfortable sweats. He felt lethargic and sluggish. It definitely wasn’t normal.

It was 7:00 pm already. Had they really spent close to three hours in his room? At this point, Leo didn’t know if that was too much or too little. When the couple made their appearance in the dining room, Mrs. Wisler had already set the table with the food she’d brought. Like the day of their arrival, luxurious pieces of sushi laid on the table, looking more like expensive jewelry than food.

Angela was already at the table, watching TV. Reiko was obviously overcome by a sense of shame after what they’d done and, with a deeply red face, couldn’t bring herself to look at either Angela or Mrs. Wisler in the face. The two women, however, didn’t comment on it. They spoke to her like nothing had happened, with Mrs. Wisler asking if they’d had troubles with bullies again and Angela asking what certain words meant when she heard them on TV. Relieved, Reiko went back to acting a bit more natural, though she still couldn’t completely brush off what they had done so soon.

On his part, however, Leonardo ate in silence, and he ate far more than he usually did. He picked up piece after piece of sushi. His arms felt heavy, but his stomach was begging for food. Thankfully there was enough that, no matter how much he ate, there was enough for the others, too.

“So I was right…” he heard Mrs. Wisler mutter to herself, but didn’t press on it. She guessed he’d feel like this? It didn’t matter. For now, he was thankful for the food.

Between him and Angela, no piece of sushi was left, even after Reiko and Mrs. Wisler had their fill. His eyelids were feeling heavy as well, but then she remembered Reiko was still here.

“Oh, that’s right…” he said. “I need to walk you home.”

“Don’t worry. I can go by myself,” she said, offering a reassuring smile.

“You look beat, dude,” Angela said, standing up. “Go to bed. I’ll take her home.”

Leonardo felt too tired to argue. He nodded, excused himself and headed to his room. It still smelled like sweat and sex, and though strange, he didn’t mind it. The futon was already on the floor, so he stripped to his underwear and slipped inside. It took him no more than a couple of minutes to fall asleep.
