Old Memories

"...B-But then it will be too cold for you to soak properly. It is not proper!" Lakshmi squeaked before responding, shaking her head and continuing to look away. P-Perfect for her... She just...had to watch out for their son! Too hot of temperatures would...

Be bad... yes...

How come her words weren't effecting him though!? He only seemed to grow with every insult and they reached the bathing room entirely without her forming a plan of escape... In fact she noticed how securely Kaimu closed it before hmphing and removing her yukata.

"HMPH. I shall wash myself then since this is a bath and that is what should be done in a bathing room, Kai." She declared as Kaimu went to the bath to settle it, moving to the spouts to clean themselves with and dropping her yukata in its storage space. H-He hadn't...

W-Was she...imagining things earlier? Lakshmi's face was still burning as she brought a hand up to her cheek nervously, both unsure and yet mildly excited before seating herself on a stool to begin wetting herself... Stupid...fox tail...

Kaimu, instead of responding vocally, just continued to hum happily as he'd been earlier; once the water was on and warming he quickly went to remove his own yukata to put away. It wouldn't be good for it to get wet or damp~

It needed to be put away for the time being~

"Lak~tan~ The water's warming up~!" As if that needed saying... Obviously Kaimu cared not about what came out of his mouth right now. "Fuuu~ Are you sure you won't need help~?"

What about her back~? Wouldn't she need help reaching her back~?

Lakshmi only gave Kaimu a few glances as he heated up the water and then stripped before flushing and looking away. Damn him for getting naked... Purposefully making sure her back was to him, she poured a bit of water into the bucket and dumped it over her head to let her body soak. "Good! You should soak first and then I can soak after in the cooled down water."

Why was her mouth speaking one thing when she so obviously wanted something else?! Ugh, this was a pain he had pushed her into the full...full angry fluster mode!

He just set it off more though with his question, as she crossed her arms and spoke loftily. "I-I am pregnant, not an invalid as I have said before. Washing myself is a perfectly normal and fine thing to do even up until your final trimester!"

Kaimu washing her off... Aah...that thought caused her to fidget a bit.

"Eeeeh~? But even non-pregnant people can have trouble reaching their backs, Lak-tan~ Sure I can't help with that~?" Lots of people had trouble reaching their backs, it was only natural he ask if he could help her...

Fufu~ Was she fidgeting?

Kaimu moved to the water himself, resisting the urge to let that grin take over again and overall failing as he took the bucket, filled it, and then dumped it over himself, his hair immediately falling into a soaked state as he beamed a smile at Lakshmi.

Even with her back turned to him he was radiating pure sparkles~

"I suppose that is true... Bah! Fine, I can allow you to wash it if it will stop your whines." Lakshmi crossed her arms, face burning up as she turned her head to the wall for a moment. If that was what he wanted, he could just wash her back and be done!

Washing other parts would be more fun...

His playful tone was evil and enticing as as Kaimu moved closer and dumped water over his head, she turned to look at that sound before she squeaked. Th-That... was not... any kind of fair. Her mouth was parted and eyes hooded in obvious enjoyment for a moment before she quickly turned, trying to hide her reaction by putting more water in the bucket to wet herself with...

S-Sparkles too... he was such... an evil...kitsune...

"Oooh~ Was my tone whining-like, Lak-tan~?" He questioned, now moving to Lakshmi side to look at her face just as a hand of his came up to push his bangs back; they were obstructing his view in their wet state...they needed to be pushed back~

He gave another smile though, she had agreed it may be hard to reach her back and thus was allowing him to~!

"I'm very grateful you're allowing me the honor of helping you with your back, Lak-sh-mi~" Fufu~

"You seemed insistent! I would rather not set your whining off if I can help it." Not whining at all... playful...enticing... alluring... Lakshmi's breathing was beginning to come quicker, his words and tempting affecting her more than she could admit right now. Especially as he got closer to her and pushed back his bangs, another obvious reaction of want coming from her as her hand reached out and her mouth parted.

A soft sound escaped before she pulled her hand back and spun on the stool, scooting so her back was towards him instead. S-Smiling like that right now... She wanted him... He was gorgeous, she wanted him... Instead of saying that, she pouted and bent forward a bit. "Y-Yes! You should do so then, I could use another bucket of water first just to make sure the soap will suds properly."

Her name, spoken so playfully like that got another muffled whimper...

Fufu~

Lak-tan wasn't speaking honestly right now~ She was holding herself back, even Kaimu could see that clear as day as he went to fetch another bucket of water for her along with the soap and such so he could help her wash by starting with her back.

"Here you go, Lak-tan~" He smiled, letting Lakshmi for now continue to be tempted as he went back behind her. "Once you pour the water I'll start with your back~"

He could have fun with this~ He was having fun with this~ Those reactions of want she'd given~ She'd even reached out for him for a brief second earlier, fufu~

How was she supposed to deal with this?! Kaimu had seemed to want her... But now he was merely teasing and... wanting to wash her?!

Lakshmi was a flustered mess of contradictions, wondering what to do as he returned with the bucket. Her eyes took his form in again before she looked away, muttering a thank you before lifting the bucket and dumping it over her head and body. "Th-There..."

Well...he'd wash her back... That was one thing done... so she could wash up and soak...

With Lakshmi soaked, Kaimu went about doing as he'd promised~

Though...he did so quite slowly once the rag had touched skin. He washed her back, slowly as if to make sure ever inch of her back was reached. Fufu~

He had to make sure he did well on his promise, after all~

If he missed even an inch he would fail in keeping his promise~

Lakshmi reached up to pull her long, soaked and yet still wavy hair over her shoulder to get it out of Kaimu's way once she was thinking again before waiting... As the rag touched her skin, she sighed in a bit of relief and disappointment. No skin...

Her hands came up and slapped her cheeks lightly at that thought before she let out a soft sound at his slow speed. What was he doing?! She squeaked and almost attempted to turn around before peeking over her shoulder as best she could. "Kai... U-Um, what are you doing? Please wash my back as I asked..."

Th-This was not...backwashing...

"Eeeh? I am washing your back, Lak-tan." Kaimu replied, resisting the urge to smirk; "If I miss even a single inch of skin on your back I will have failed in my promise of washing your back...It's only right that I get all of it~"

He continued to move slow, though his fingers slipped passed the rag for a moment, touching skin as they slid lower.

Yup~ He had to get all of her back~

"..." Lakshmi had no retort, no retort at all even though she opened her mouth to do so. Instead all she could do was make a small flustered whimper and then mutter. "D-Do as you please then... The rest of me will dry before you are done though..."

She'd have to get all wet again and that would be a bo-"Uwa!"

His fingers caused her to jolt up and shiver, goosebumps raising up along her skin now that he'd surprised her like that. "A-Ah! K-Kaimu, you can't wash...w-with your fingertips..."

...He was doing this on purpose...he was...doing this to...break her...

Damn it, she was enjoying it too...

"Whoooops~ I'm sorry, Lak-taan~" Kaimu answered, though clearly not sorry at all for his fingers slipping. That'd earned a fun reaction from her~

After saying that, he continued with this long and torturous process, though eventually he leaned in towards a non-soapy area near where her shoulder met her neck and planted a kiss there, finally letting up just a little with all this teasing and giving her at least...some proper attention for a few moments.

Fufu~

Lakshmi knew that damned fox wasn't even anything close to apologetic at all and clenched her hands on her knees. N-Nothing could be done again it and she just muttered, "J-Just finish..."

She had the whole rest of her to wash! If...Kaimu even intended what he had in the room here anymore... Or would he just... tease her to death and then take her upstairs?

Or...would he be the cruelest of all and make her wait until morning...?

H-His washing was so evil, why was he so...cruel... By now it was clear she was shivering lightly under his washes before she felt lips on her skin. That caused another jolt and a strong whimper before she actually turned this time. "K-Kai! That is definitely not washing my back! If you won't do it right, I will have to do that."

Crossing her one arm under her chest, she held out the other for the rag while her face continued its burning. Lakshmi couldn't even look at him, not even look him in the eyes for a second and stared to the side.

"Eeeh~ But Lak-taaan..." Fufu, that reaction~ Kaimu moved closer then as Lakshmi threatened to continue on herself, his chest pressing right up against her back as his head came to rest on her shoulder.

He'd stopped using the rag, instead letting a hand come up to settle just right above her hip as he shot another smile at her.

"Do you really want me to stop, Lak-tan~?"

Lakshmi couldn't help it, a soft wanting whimper sounded from her as Kaimu pressed right up against her. His head resting on her shoulder caused her to unconsciously lean her head against his, wanting to be closer...

The hand settling above her hip got the strongest reaction though... She shivered strongly and gave a soft moan, sensitive right now due to all his teasing.

His question made her whole body freeze though, unable to respond for a few moments before she shook her head softly.

"More...tease me more..." Her voice was quiet and flustered as she stared at the wall. H-He...was definitely winning... at everything.

Kaimu waited patiently, enjoying Lakshmi's reactions towards him as he teased her; he waited, doing nothing more until she finally...finally answered him~

Tease her more~?

Fufu~ A pleased little laugh finally escaped before he gave a small nod; "As you wish, Lak-sh-mi~" Saying that he moved his head again, letting his lips settle against her neck before he began treating it to kisses, the hand on her hip rubbing the skin under it.

The hand that had originally been handling the rag let the fabric drop, moving around her to rest on her waist.

That laugh caused another shiver before her name was spoken with such emphasis. Lakshmi whimpered softly, bringing a hand up to stifle her sounds at that. As she...wished...

It was almost terrifying how quickly the man moved after that, his mouth eliciting a groan as it began to tease her neck with kisses. The hand rubbing her skin on her hips caused her body to fidget softly before she attempted to shift as if to get his hands to move more. "Kai..."

He definitely was keeping up with his promise to continue teasing, because Lakshmi felt like he was doing such slow actions on purpose... Though he had been doing them for a while now in more subtle manners...

"Evil kitsune..."

Kaimu smirked against her neck, pausing in the kisses for a short moment as Lakshmi referred to him as evil again, but he continued a moment later. She had asked for more teasing so he would certainly deliver~

Her reactions were already quite nice...

The hand on her waist slipped further, moving upwards, inching closer and closer to her chest teasingly. He didn't touch her quite yet, instead choosing to keep up the crueler in of teasing for a moment. She had called him an "evil" kitsune after all~

Lakshmi's hands couldn't do much but clench as she felt Kaimu's smirk against her neck. Evil fox, evil fox... Stopping the kisses now that he was touching her...?! Luckily he started back up and she whimpered as her head leaned more to allow him access to all parts of her neck easier.

He was teasing so cruelly, even more than earlier and as his hand slipped up slowly... Lakshmi gave Kaimu more groans and fidgets at that, wanting him to touch her more than just this and regretting telling him to tease.

"K-Kaaai...!" His name came out at a wanting whimper as she moved under him. T-Touch her already!

Kaimu let out a chuckle against Lakshmi's skin at her reaction. She wanted him to touch her, he could tell, that whimper had been completely telling, and he'd expected such a reaction. Aaa~ His teasing was working this well~?

It made him quite pleased to see so~

He returned to kissing her neck, now occasionally giving her small licks and nips along her skin as the hand nearest to her chest teased further, not yet touching her before...after a few more tortuous moments finally slid up to tease her.

Why did he have to laugh at this? Kaimu was too damned amused for her and Lakshmi growled lightly before that turned into a whimper again as he licked and nipped her neck. Refusing to allow him more amusement, she bit back another grumpy whimpering of his name even as her body began to lean back against his more.

Lakshmi's back arched just a bit before she could stop it, a pleased groan escaping her as Kaimu's hand finally touched something more than just skin. Evil and cruel and teasing fox... But it was riling her up just as he wanted and making her forget they were in a much more public place than usual. A private bathing room was separate and all, but it wasn't as if the rooms were soundproofed much...

Her hand slipped up to her mouth attempting to muffle the sounds Kaimu was getting out of her at his teasing touches and kisses. Someone could hear...someone would know...

Lak-tan was trying to muffle herself~

Kaimu almost wanted to give another laugh at that, but that would interrupt him and the promised teasing he was currently in the middle of giving her. She was trying not to make noise, which was something to think on...though that was also another aspect of this activity that could be played with~

The walls weren't soundproof after all, this was just an inn and bathhouse out in the Rukon~

He continued to tease her chest with his hand, while the one that had been rubbing the skin at her hip dipped forward some, moving closer to another sensitive area though...he certainly made no move to reach her there yet~

Tempting and teasing for now~ Fufu~

Lakshmi's brain was still coherent enough to keep her hand pressed to her mouth, muffling her whimpers and groans and even the few moans that his actions were causing. Her body moved under Kaimu's touches, something she couldn't muffle or halt at all though and the woman's other hand reached up to clench the hand on her hips' wrist.

N-Needed to grab something...

Luckily she had because his hand was slipping lower, moving slowly and obviously teasing her as he moved closer to a much more fun spot to touch... Before teasing instead. Pulling her hand back enough to whine, her hips shifted and fidgeted as if to force his hand closer. "Mmmph! Kaaaaimuuuu!"

He was being so blasted cruel that she could only whimper his name, teasing her like this would kill her. Stupid fox, stupid mouth...stupid hands... She couldn't do anything but reaction him like this, her body leaning back even more and giving him utter control.
