With calm ease, Hakuto slowly stretches his legs forward.
Until now, he's kept them bent to avoid contact—any touch might've triggered reactions way too visible through his thin swimsuit and the clear water.
But now, he no longer cares.
Hakuto has entered predator mode.
In fact, Kagura once taught him that brief, accidental contact is the best way to build sexual tension between two people.
Sure, he and Professor Yuunami aren't a couple, but he figures the same logic still applies.
Eyes closed.
Head resting back on the pillow lining the edge of the tub.
He acts like he's slipping into sleep.
And, just like that, he stretches out his legs entirely—his feet drifting up to her waistline.
He doesn't touch her directly.
Instead, he lets the current do it.
The water slowly carries his feet, letting them sway and lightly brush against her skin from time to time.
He brushes her once.
Twice.
Three times.
No reaction from her.
She doesn't respond by touching him back.
