Chapter 5 - Mina(2)

Mina sat on the edge of her bed, her mind swirling with a whirlwind of emotions. She had never been the type to overthink things, but after the brief encounter with Kaito earlier, her thoughts were running wild. The warmth in her chest hadn't faded, and every time she closed her eyes, she found herself replaying the moment when their hands had lingered just a little too long in the hallway.

*What was that?*

Her body felt… different. There was a strange, almost electric energy coursing through her, something she couldn't quite place. She shook her head, trying to ignore the fluttering sensation in her stomach that refused to leave.

*Focus, Mina. You're just tired. You've had a long day of training, that's all.*

But even as she tried to convince herself, her fingers unconsciously traced the edge of her blanket. Her mind wandered back to the way Kaito had looked at her, his gaze intense, his presence filling the space between them. It made her feel something deep in her core, something she hadn't felt in a while.

*Why does it feel like this?* she thought, biting her lip. *I shouldn't be thinking about him like this.*

But the more she tried to push it away, the stronger the heat inside her became. Her thoughts became clouded, consumed with the memory of Kaito's gaze and the way his touch had sent a wave of warmth through her skin.

*It was just a handshake. Nothing more.* But even she could tell that wasn't the truth.

Her breath quickened as she felt the pull, the heat growing stronger, spreading across her body. She slid her hand down her arm, her fingers brushing over the sensitive skin, and before she could stop herself, her body reacted. Her skin tingled as she felt the familiar heat building inside her, and the urge to satisfy it seemed impossible to ignore.

*Why is it so hard to think right now?*

Mina bit her lip harder, trying to push away the feeling, but it only intensified. Her hand moved slowly, almost instinctively, to the hem of her shirt, tugging it up just enough to feel the cool air against her heated skin. The sensation was almost too much to bear, and she couldn't stop herself.

Her mind raced. *This isn't right. I shouldn't be doing this.*

But the heat, the ache, was too much to ignore. She closed her eyes, letting the feeling take over, her fingers tracing along the curve of her body, exploring the sensation of warmth that seemed to spread with every touch. She couldn't stop now. The overwhelming desire, the pulse of heat inside her, was all-consuming.

*Why does this feel so good?* she wondered, her breath becoming shallow, her body reacting in ways she couldn't control.

Mina's thoughts flickered back to Kaito's face, the intensity of his gaze, the way he had made her feel in that brief moment when he'd touched her. Her body trembled as she imagined him closer, his hands on her, his eyes watching her. The thought alone made her pulse race faster.

*No, no, no,* she scolded herself. *Stop it. This isn't like you.*

But even as she tried to resist, her body moved against her will, her fingers pressing against her skin in ways that only made the heat grow stronger. She let out a small gasp, the feeling building inside her, leaving her breathless.

*I can't… stop.*

The thought kept repeating in her mind, and before she knew it, she was lost in the moment, her body playing out a rhythm she couldn't control, chasing the heat, the feeling that had taken over her completely. She didn't want to stop; it felt too good, too right.

She wasn't thinking of anything but the sensations now, lost in the rush of it all. The thoughts of Kaito, of what had happened earlier, melted away as the feeling took hold of her. She was only aware of her body, of the heat, the ache, the rush.

The minutes seemed to stretch on endlessly, each second a wave of pure sensation, until finally, she collapsed back onto the bed, gasping for air. Her body still thrummed with the aftermath of the overwhelming rush.

*What just happened?* she thought, her mind slowly coming back to her as the heat began to fade.

She sat up, staring at her hands as if they didn't belong to her. Her body felt heavy, but the moment of lust had passed. The confusion set in, and she couldn't understand why everything had spiraled out of control so quickly.

She took a deep breath, trying to regain her composure. *What the hell was that?*

She knew she had just crossed a line, but something inside her still yearned for the feeling. The heat, the sensation, it had been so intense. It was a part of her now, and no matter how much she tried to dismiss it, she couldn't ignore it.

And deep down, she knew one thing for certain:

*She couldn't deny it any longer.*
