Corbin enjoyed skiing more than expected.
“Wow… it’s darker than I thought?”
“Indeed…”
“…It’s a good thing it’s a self-driving car; if I were driving, I think I would have crashed or something?”
“That’s true.”
On the way back to the hotel with Corbin.
It was already very dark, and as usual, the road was mostly covered in snow.
The original plan was to quit skiing at a reasonable time in the afternoon and do something else, but somehow they ended up eating dinner at the ski resort and now were on the way back.
They were definitely coming back much later than planned.
Well, to be honest, I’ve recently been living a life where I didn’t have to stick to schedules anyway.
Still, it was true that I had been having so much fun that I completely forgot about everything else.
“Linda, should we go to the ski resort again tomorrow?”
“I think it would have been better to just go to a hotel nearby if we were going to do that… but it sounds okay.”
“Right?”
“Yes. To be honest… it was fun.”
I thought that spending another day at the ski resort was a good idea, and honestly, I felt like I could have played around for a few more days.
It was so much fun that I skied all day without a care.
Of course, spending more time skiing with Corbin was something I couldn’t refuse.
Sure, my legs were a bit sore from skiing today, and I felt a bit stifled and hot from the padding I was wearing.
But the fun was undeniably real.
“But… why did you unbutton your shirt so much?”
“There’s no one to see us besides ourselves, right?”
“That’s true, but was it really necessary to unbutton it that much?”
“I’m wearing underwear, after all.”
“…Well, I can’t complain since my eyes are enjoying it.”
By the way, I had loosened my shirt buttons quite a bit while in the car.
It was almost to the point where you could nearly see my chest.
Except for my stomach area, I had undone it to the point where you could consider it fully opened.
The reason? Well… it was just too stifling at the ski resort.
Aside from how fun skiing was, the padding I was wearing was causing more discomfort.
Although the size itself was just right, it felt too tight, making it hard to move around.
Thankfully, skiing didn’t require much upper body movement.
“If I keep it like this, it’s comfortable. The wind flows through better.”
“That’s true…”
“Besides, you’re not actually driving, are you?”
Of course, the driver had to focus on driving, but since it was autonomous driving, the idea of an accident happening just because I had a bit of my chest showing was far-fetched.
“Well… does it catch your eye that much?”
I slipped my fingers between my chest and lightly pulled it apart.
Since I was wearing underwear, I couldn’t pull it apart too much…
“…Ahem.”
“Pfft.”
It was enough to elicit a reaction from Corbin.
Honestly… he was too easy to tease.
I couldn’t help but think about how he managed to handle things when I was pregnant before.
Oh, wait, never mind.
I couldn’t stand it back then either, and often had to use my hands or other parts to relieve myself.
I didn’t think I was really able to resist at all.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“I just thought it was funny how much Corbin seems to like me.”
“Really…?”
“Yes.”
Corbin seemed unsure of what I was thinking.
If he figured that out… he would definitely start wondering if Corbin was not a normal person.
“Sigh…”
Anyway, with the air conditioning blowing cool air towards my chest in the car, it definitely felt refreshing.
After spending hours trapped inside with no cold air, I was glad just to have a cool breeze.
If I ever had to wear that padding again, I definitely wanted to go for a slightly larger size.
Of course… the sleeves or length might not fit.
“Linda, how about we… stay for another week?”
“?”
Just as I was comfortably relaxing in the air conditioning, Corbin called out to me.
What was he trying to say?
Another week?
“Why do you ask?”
“How about we play for another week and then go home?”
“I don’t mind. I do feel a bit disappointed… but going home right away isn’t really… ”
I didn’t mind at all.
Truly.
As I told Corbin, I felt a bit let down, but I was already having a great time.
Without Charlotte, it felt as if we were enjoying ourselves a bit too much, which made me feel guilty…?
“Why do you ask? Bringing this up all of a sudden.”
“Not that I was just aimlessly enjoying myself.”
“I’m just curious. Is it that you want to go back because you dislike the cold?”
I hadn’t expected Corbin to bring this up, and it felt a bit sudden.
There had to be a reason behind it.
Of course, most of the reason was probably Charlotte, right?
“I don’t know; I just feel like I want to see Charlotte soon, and it feels like we’ve just been having fun and should start to head back?”
“I see.”
“But as the Commander, I feel it’s not good to enjoy vacation too much…”
“Well, as the Vice Commander, it’s not really my concern.”
Unlike someone who has to oversee most of the ship’s agents, I only have to look after one person and take responsibility for that.
Of course, in the long run, it would be better for Corbin, the Commander, to care about the people he was responsible for.
But ultimately, my main goal and job were to help Corbin.
“If you want to do that, I don’t mind.”
“Should we do that then?”
“If we contact the boss, I’m sure they’ll send a plane again…”
“…That would be a bit burdensome.”
“…But how could we not accept that? It’s not like it’s just a car; it’s a plane…”
“……..”
“And if I don’t bring it up, they’ll question why that wasn’t done…”
There was definitely the probability that it would take a lot more time.
The road was getting somewhat cleared, but outside probably still had a lot of snow.
There’s a high chance it wouldn’t be as comfortable as last time when we went from Zone 07 to the headquarters.
Well, it might not be that bad, I suppose.
“Anyway, should we plan to head back in about a week?”
“Yes, let’s do that.”
So, after that discussion, we arrived at the accommodation.
Today felt a bit strange since, after spending the entire day at the ski resort, it was odd to find the hotel front without snow.
“…Honestly, I think I saw more snow today than usual.”
“It was piled up on the mountain; there was no place where it wasn’t.”
“Yes.”
Honestly, after only seeing pure white at the ski resort, being here felt much better.
Snow is pretty, but… if you keep looking at it, it kind of hurts your eyes…?
My eyes were definitely tired.
Well, my legs were a bit tired from skiing all day too, but my eyes weren’t doing too well either.
“Shall we go upstairs and shower, then?”
“I definitely want to bathe. Really.”
After passing through the hotel lobby with Corbin, we got on the elevator and talked about that.
It made sense; I had worked up quite a sweat today.
Honestly, the thin t-shirt under my padding was completely soaked, and I had to use a regular shirt I had kept in the car as a substitute when I got back.
Even though I had changed my clothes, I still felt very sweaty…
I really didn’t want to have dinner like this.
Even though I felt somewhat better after changing my clothes… I thought I might smell… ugh.
Of course, the pervert beside me didn’t mind smelling things like that.
Regardless of what he found acceptable, I was a bit…
“Let’s wash up quickly, and let’s eat at the hotel restaurant tonight.”
“Yes, and… let’s go to bed a bit early. I’m really tired from skiing today.”
“I feel the same way.”
After all, there was no schedule for tomorrow, and I’d spent the whole day skiing.
Even without the ability to predict accurately, I could guess that I would be suffering from muscle soreness tomorrow.
For now, I wanted to shower, wipe off the sweat a little, have a relaxed dinner, and then just sleep after coming back.
Contrary to my first thoughts, skiing had turned out to be harder than I expected.
…Seriously.
*
“Corbin.”
“…Sorry.”
“Even though it’s fine for us to enjoy ourselves since Charlotte’s not here…”
…We had indeed arrived at the restaurant.
Right.
It was a bit later than expected, but we arrived.
Once seated, we ordered some refreshing sparkling water and steak.
After placing the orders, I looked at Corbin.
Corbin, trying to avoid my gaze, stared down.
“Have you really been… feeling frisky lately…?”
I spoke in a soft voice.
This wasn’t just a private space—it was a restaurant.
Sure, everyone else was talking normally, but I couldn’t help but lower my voice just in case.
Truly…
“If not, then how come you suggest showering together… and just end up doing that?”
“…I tried to hold back.”
“It started the moment we stepped in and began showering, didn’t it?”
“…”
Not only that, but we didn’t just do it casually.
The moment we got into the bathroom and started showering, it began.
I really had no choice but to interrogate Corbin over this.
It felt nice and all, but still exhausting!
“After skiing all day, how can you want to exercise on Corbin’s stomach?”
“Haha…”
“How on earth are you planning to hold back when we get home next time…?”
Honestly, I was worried more than I was supposed to be, concerns mixed in.
Because of Charlotte, I knew we wouldn’t be able to do it as much as we had been doing lately.
There was no way we’d do it nearly every day like before.
I was seriously concerned about how Corbin would hold back when we got home.
I thought he might just pounce on me suddenly at lunchtime in the office after all the colleagues were gone.
It felt like Corbin’s horniness had somehow increased recently.
