They had taken it slow. One by one, articles of clothing fell to the ground in a careful heap. Kasuga looked down at the pile as she let her bra fall into it. With this motion, she was finally bare. Nomoto was sitting on Kasuga’s bed, already having removed all her clothing a minute ago.
It was a shy pose that Nomoto had. She was sitting deep into the bed so Kasuga could join in shortly. Her legs were modestly covering her lower half while her chest was displayed much more proudly. Her chest had been one of the first areas Nomoto was fine with Kasuga seeing, once they had started exploring their relationship further. However, before this evening, they merely observed. They never touched. Tonight was their first time.
With a deep breath, Kasuga finally approached her bed and initially sat on the edge, turning to the side to look at her girlfriend. She blushed a light shade of pink.
“Are you alright?” Nomoto asked out of precaution.
“Yes,” Kasuga began to relax and shift further onto the mattress. Shyly, she added, “You look lovely tonight, Nomoto-san.”
Nomoto felt her cheeks warm up and she chuckled. “Thank you,” she replied, looking off to the side, though she returned her gaze back to her love rather quickly. “Likewise, Kasuga-san. You look amazing.”
Kasuga’s blush intensified. She moved even closer, taking in all of Nomoto’s body at that moment. Seeing Kasuga's gaze travel across her body, Nomoto instinctively repositioned herself, pushing her chest outward in a tantalizing way. With this, she silently beckoned Kasuga to come closer…and that's exactly what Kasuga did.
A single hand raised up and moved closer to Nomoto. Kasuga’s hands were so large. This one hand, alone, could cover nearly the entirety of her breast. It was warm. Nomoto’s breathing picked up from the action, and, despite Kasuga not doing anything else, it caused a sensual sigh to escape and her heart began to pick up in excitement.
Kasuga blushed. She looked down at her hand – how it lay on Nomoto’s chest – and focused deeper on the sensation there. A faint, rhythmic pulse broke past all its barriers, and she could feel as Nomoto’s heartbeat grew in anticipation. Without words, Nomoto was telling her how excited she was, how she was looking forward to whatever Kasuga was going to do to her, all within a series of eager, rhythmic pumps.
It was almost mesmerizing…if it weren't for the growing sensation in both pace and strength. If it got any stronger, Kasuga felt like she was going to high-five Nomoto’s heart through her chest. It was a little concerning.
Finally, Kasuga broke the silence and plainly stated, “I can feel your heartbeat.”
Nomoto’s eyes widened, startled by this sudden comment.
“It's nice,” Kasuga admitted shyly. “But it's a little fast…”
Of course, there was another spike within, but now it was from shock. Nomoto’s face flushed from embarrassment. Kasuga could feel it? She could feel every beat, right this moment? Knowing this felt like they crossed another level of intimacy. She couldn't even say anything in response. She was utterly stunned.
After an awkward pause, where Nomoto's heart continued to spike in both excitement and embarrassment, Kasuga pursed her lips and admitted, “Nomoto-san, I'm so nervous…”
Nomoto blinked. “What? You look so calm, though!” There were still moments where her girlfriend surprised her with her true emotions. The woman was so stoic in appearance. How could she be…
Then she finally noticed.
Kasuga may have remained outwardly calm, but her hand was trembling. This whole evening was still a new experience for both of them, being so intimately bare in front of one another. Nomoto realized the other woman still needed some assurance. After shaking off her own excitement with a deep breath, Nomoto carefully placed her hands around Kasuga’s and closed her eyes, her expression calm. She took another breath, exhaling slowly. As she did this, Nomoto could already feel her heart relax in pace. Its beating, however, was still just as strong.
Kasuga definitely felt it as well. The beating slowed down with each deep breath taken. With her one hand being enveloped by Nomoto's hands, and feeling the soft vibrations of Nomoto's thumping chest, Kasuga was quietly soothed. She couldn't help but heave a deep breath of her own.
Now that she was relaxed, Nomoto looked up at Kasuga with a reassuring smile. “Let's do this at our own pace, okay?” She gently squeezed Kasuga's hand, chuckling. “Don't worry about me. I'm just…excited.” As if responding to Nomoto's words, her heart picked up for a moment before settling back down.
After a moment of feeling the warmth, feeling that strong but steady thumping against her palm, Kasuga nodded in agreement. “Right,” she replied with a shy smile. Nomoto smiled back at her.
The night was still young. They enjoyed the gentle exploration of their bodies, though Kasuga wound up coming back to Nomoto’s heart the most. Eventually, she admitted she was done with the exploration and simply wanted to lay in bed together, as long as Nomoto was okay with her laying her head on her chest. No other words needed to be said – Nomoto welcomed her into her arms.
