10 Hot Springs

"Huh?" I rub my eyes, trying to wake myself up a little more. The sunlight blinds me, but once I get acclimated to it. Well, let's just say that I'm floored at the town we've found ourselves in.

Saffron already explained to me that this place stood out compared to the village we lived near. Yet I still couldn't believe just how much bigger this place was in comparison. There were a lot more people around, numerous stands selling things like food, drink, and even some weapons. The biggest store back home would have to be our general store, and even that was dwarfed compared to all this. A place like this, even if smaller than an average town back on Earth, just wows me.

"We made it!" She cheered out, garnering some glances towards us from the townsfolk. I'm a little self-conscious about them looking, now that I'm aware people can tell I'm not from here. Not to mention I'm also with Saffron as well, who's pretty well regarded.

"Right." I say, scanning the busy street. "So, it's getting pretty late. Where are we staying?"

"Over there." She points to an inn. As we pull up to it, I read the sign. It reads, 'Love Inn', which I gotta say is pretty clever, even if a bit cheesy. She hops off once we get stopped and talks with the clerk inside. I, in the meanwhile, just awkwardly wait outside. Someone's gotta make sure no one steals our stuff. Soon enough, she returns.

"So, they got any vacancies?" I ask, as she makes no attempt to take our luggage.

"Of course they do, I got a room on the top floor for us." Sounds good to me, but as soon as I grab one of our bags, she stops me. "They'll take care of it for us." She informs me. "Come on, I got somewhere for us to go."

I thought it might be too late for us to go shopping. Which is the truth, but getting sleep isn't what's next on her agenda. Instead, she pulls me to a pretty elegant looking building. As we get closer to it, I feel like it's getting warmer. Is this a hot spring, or something?

"I thought we should relax after the long trip." Turns out that I was right in thinking this was a hot spring. When she says it like that, Then I'm definitely excited over the prospect.

"Ah, welcome." The attendant greets us as we enter. It doesn't seem like a lot of people are here, either that, or they're all already inside.

"We'd like a room for two please." Saffron hold up her hand with two fingers, to signify her request. What does she mean by that? Aren't hot springs designed to separate the genders? Maybe not even that in some places.

According to the clerk, they do. So we're given a key, along with some towels, and are led to our room. While walking there, Saffron explains to me that this business has smaller rooms with their own small pools of water. It's more for couples, which now I'm starting to see what she's up to here.

We arrive inside our room, and then the employee leaves the two of us to our privacy. Looking around this room, it sure seems that they spared no expense in making sure it was of the utmost quality. Given that there's no changing areas, the two of us have to strip ourselves just mere feet away. Honestly, I shouldn't get so worried about seeing her naked, or having her see me like that either. We've already seen each other in the nude. I don't know, I guess because it's not like we're dating or anything.

I get in first, as it doesn't take long to get out of my clothes compared to her attire. This feels so nice and warm, it's like my worries are washing away as water graces my skin.

She soon follows me in, opting to sit right besides me. A pretty common thing for her to do, as well as the fact that this isn't that big of a place. Her soft, smooth skin brushes up against me. Now the two of us are so close, practically as close as when she fell atop me. And just like before, the both of us are in the nude.

It's a good thing I'm submerged in the water this time. I'm going to be rock hard the entire time we're here.

"Isn't this nice." She says, as she leans her head onto my shoulder. Considering she had to manage the ride the whole way, I'd say that this relaxation is more for her, than for me.

"It is." I say. No matter what, I'm going to enjoy this moment as much as I can. Which also apparently means getting peeks of her naked body, because... Well because my eyes just keep wondering down there. Maybe it's from what I got drilled on back on earth, that doing this is so impolite. It's just so hard not to want a small look, even if I don't get anything from it.

However, I do catch some glimpses of her pretty body. It's not like she's made any attempt to cover herself, neither have I, by the way. Her small erect nipples, oh I just want to give them a little pinch. But I just can't, and not just because I'm worried about her getting upset, seeing as she probably wouldn't.

No, my problem is... Well, I just feel so worried about it. I've referred to her as a loli countless times, and it's not like I've disliked them in media or anything, but in real life? I just feel a little ashamed from how I feel just looking at her, like I'd get into a lot of trouble if I was still on Earth.

But I'm not there anymore. Plus, I know for a fact that she's of age, even if I don't know the actual number. Considering her stories, she's older than me, and I'm definitely of age.

"So you do think I'm attractive." Darn it, I was too caught up in my thoughts, that I didn't realize I'm still staring at her.

"Sorry." I say so instinctively. Obviously, she wouldn't get mad at me for that, but if it was any other girl in existence, I'd be getting a slap to the face.

"It's fine." She says, turning over to me. "But you probably like girls that are bigger..." She looks down at her chest. It's not really a surprised that she's lacking in the development process. In fact, there's some girls in our village half my age that's bigger than her.

"That's not true." I tell her, which is mostly honest. Please, I hope no one takes it to mean I prefer kids or anything. I just happened to like more... Petite girls. "I think that you look stunning."

"You do?" She was already reddish from the heat in here, but my statement just makes her turn nearly tomato red. It really contrasts to her very pale skin. "Wait, is it almost time?" I don't know what she's talking about, but whatever it is, it's making her want to move in a hurry.

So much in a hurry, that she gets straight up from her spot. I didn't get the chance to move, nor react, then suddenly her lady lips are right in front of my face. This is only for a moment, but man is this image going to be stuck in my mind for the rest of my life.

She's so... Smooth. And I think it's because nothing's growing down there, which I guess lends to her lack of physical growth. I'm not going to pretend I've never seen a woman's vagina, since you know, the internet exists. Well, it used to exist for me. It's just that seeing one like this, her pussy is just so perfect.

I almost made a mess of myself just from the sight of her. Then, she jumps up the step to get out of the water. With her back turned to me, I see her cute, little butt facing me. When she bends down to get her clothes, she even opens herself up a little to me. I swear, she's not naive, This has to be on purpose.

But, I didn't have to follow her moving this far with my eyes. I could've just looked away... Ugh, well I might be mixed on how I feel about her. There's just something about her, that's grown deep on me. However, there's no denying just how crazy I am over her body. My heart races over the thought of her naked, and from the sight of it. Oh how I wish I wasn't so reserved... I need to change that, I need to confess to her.

"Hey, Saffron..." I was about to speak up, somewhat quietly because of the subject matter. However, she cuts me off without realizing it.

"I left a list of things for you to pick up." She points to a piece of paper on my clothes. "I need to take care of some stuff, but meet me at our room in about an... Hour." She's really in a hurry, I hope I didn't keep her from something really important.

"Okay..." I tell her, and she leaves barely getting herself properly decent.

It looks like I've got an hour before I get the chance to confess. In the heat of the moment, I was ready to do it. Now that there's time until then, it's going to be hard not to get psyched out. It's hard for me to be open about my feelings, I've known that since forever. This time though, I don't intend to chicken out.
