“Are you sure?” He really didn’t mind.

He was a little embarrassed that this kept happening.

“Yes. I’m just tired and worn out.” The smile she gave him was completely and utterly false. “It’s been a long time since I’ve had an eventful day.”

“Mayumi... If this is about this morning–”

“I don’t want to talk about it right now.” Her smile fell, her features becoming stern as she reached for more soap.

Faunus’ body tensed in reaction. Was this the beginning of Mayumi changing?But she was playful with me before she went into the town.She’d been her usual self. She’d nettled him, bossed him around... she’d even kissed his snout more than she usually would.

He was unsure of what to make of her actions, especially since she was here cleaning him herself.

He pulled his hand away and let his cock freely float in the water when she began lathering the fur covering his chest. She also cleaned the bones of his ribs, which felt wonderful.

As she went lower, Faunus grabbed her and cradled her in his large arms. “The rest of me is clean enough. Just relax.”

Honestly, he just didn’t want to stand in the cold because he knew he’d want to leave the water the moment he did. Her head being so low had also worried him. She could die from a simple drowning, not that he would allow it.

Then a thought crossed his mind, one that had him licking at the outside of his snout with deep interest.

Before she could finish opening her big mouth to speak, he asked, “Could I wash you?”

He was feeling a little more comfortable in the water than normal, perhaps because of constant exposure. Even though she didn’t want to be sexual, he still wanted to touch her – maybe even make her feel good.

Being washed by her was pleasurable. He wanted to soothe her in the same way.

Mayumi grabbed her glass and drank the rest of it. Then she grabbed the soap vial and handed it to him, which he took as her way of saying yes.

She tried to give him one arm, but Faunus took both her hands in his after sheathing all his claws. Her mouth pouted to the side as he rubbed his long and large fingers into her dainty, small palms while his thumbs rubbed over the backs of them.

Despite her strength, he knew one wrong move could have him snapping her feeble human bones. He was gentle as he moved up her forearms and tried to massage them in the same way she did for him.

Sometimes Mayumi would scratch at his fur as though she wanted to get to the root of them. Other times she dug her thumbs and fingers into his muscles deeply. He followed her movements from memory and lightened his press whenever her dark brows twitched.

Since he didn’t trust himself, he closed his thighs and made her sit on his knees, turning her so her back was facing him. He wanted to see what he was doing as he washed her back.

Faunus’ touch was light when he wrapped his hands around her hips and pressed the pad of his thumbs into the muscles hugging her spine. He did little circles, just like she’d done to him a few times.

He paused when she gave a little mew until she leaned into his hands for more.

“It actually feels really tight there,” she commented when he was just below her shoulder blades.

Tight?She just felt soft everywhere.

He realised he wasn’t the right person to know what felt right and wrong in a human’s body.

She wriggled back on his legs, hers parted, and braced her hands on his closed knees. She looked over the treetops to peer at the sky.

He brushed her thick, silky hair over one shoulder when he started going higher. She let out another soft noise, one she only ever made when she felt good. He couldn’t stop his cock from jerking every time she did.

It was beginning to strain now since he’d been hard for so long untouched. Thankfully, the water kept him moist. Otherwise, he didn’t think it would be possible for him to be here doing this with her right now.

Just when he was about to reach her shoulders and neck, he caressed his fingertips down her back and started from the bottom again. He was thrilled when she didn’t stop him.

He was supposed to be washing her, after all.

“Have you ever been to the sea, Faunus?” she asked with a breathy voice.
