Chapter 2: Under the Blanket

Ria goes under the kotatsu on her knees and makes Nanami come in her work skirt, telling her every small thing she did well this week; afterward Nanami says that was not rent.

The kiss lasted until Ria's back hit the door and her keys rang against the wood.

Her mouth was cool for one second and then it was not.

It opened under Nanami's, hot and sweet.

Nanami had her by the cardigan with one fist and by the back of her neck with the other hand.

She did not remember deciding to do either.

Ria made a small sound into her mouth, and the sound went straight down Nanami's spine.

Then Ria pulled back an inch and put her palm flat on Nanami's breastbone.

"Hoshino-san," she said. Her voice shook. "I told you that nothing after the tea is owed."

"I know what you told me." Nanami was breathing hard. "I'm not paying you anything. I'm asking."

Ria's eyes went gold again, all the way through.

"Say it plainly," she said.

"I want you to touch me. I haven't been touched in three years, and I would like it to be you."

"Nanami," Ria said, trying the name.

It was the first time she had used it, and Nanami felt it in her knees.

"Sit," Ria said. "At the table. Where you were."

Nanami went back to the kotatsu on legs that did not work well.

She sat on the floor cushion with her back to the wall and slid her legs under the blanket.

She was still in her work skirt, her blouse and her lanyard.

Ria knelt at the edge of the table and lifted the heavy quilt.

"It is warm under here," she said, and looked up through her lashes. "I have been told I work better warm."

Then she crawled under the kotatsu, and the quilt dropped behind her.

Nanami stared at the lump moving under the blanket between her feet.

The heater glowed orange through the cloth and lit the space in a low red-gold, and in the middle of the glow was Ria's face.

Hands wrapped around her ankles, small and cool, and began to move up her calves.

They went slowly, over the nylon of her stockings and past her knees.

They stopped at the hem of her grey skirt.

"Lift," Ria said, from under the table.

Nanami lifted her hips, and Ria pushed the skirt up and over them until it bunched at her waist.

The air under the blanket was hot, and her thighs were bare and flushed in it.

Ria's thumbs ran along the inside of her thighs.

"Clause one," she said. "The tenant sits and does not work."

"I'm not working."

"You have been mentally answering email for four minutes. Stop."

Nanami laughed, and the laugh broke in the middle because Ria's mouth pressed to her inner thigh, just above the stocking.

It was a closed, soft kiss, and it was right at the edge of her underwear.

Ria's fingers hooked the waistband of her stockings and rolled them down, and she took the plain white cotton with them.

Her breath was warm on the bare skin below Nanami's navel.

"You are very wet," Ria said, in a voice of quiet wonder. "I could smell it through the door."

"Don't say it like that."

"I say it like a compliment. It is a compliment."

Nanami put her head back against the wall.

A thumb parted her, slow and careful, and stroked up through the slickness to her clit.

Her whole body jumped.

"There," Ria said. "Clause two. The tenant makes any noise she likes, as long as the neighbors on the left do not hear it."

"That's not a real clause."

"It is as real as the other ones."

The thumb circled.

It circled slowly and exactly.

Nanami's thighs started to shake.

She grabbed the edge of the kotatsu with both hands and held on.

"Good," Ria murmured. "You are so good. You answered forty-one emails today."

"How do you know that?"

"You have been thinking about them. Forty-one.

You skipped lunch and did not complain once.

Your boss put his hand on your shoulder, and you did not flinch."

Nanami's eyes stung.

"Nobody says that to me."

"Then everyone has been very stupid," Ria said, and slid one finger inside.

Nanami cried out into the back of her hand.

It was thin and slow, and it curled up exactly where she needed it, and then a second finger joined it.

Ria's mouth came back to her clit, closed on it and sucked.

The sound she made then was not one she had made in three years.

The kotatsu blanket heaved with her.

Hot cloth lay against Nanami's thighs.

Ria's cool hands opened her and filled her.

A soft wet sound came from under the table, and it made her face burn.

"Look at you," Ria said against her, a hot hum that went through her whole body. "Look how well you take it."

"Ria."

"Yes. Say it again."

"Ria, I'm going to, I'm..."

"Then do. You earned it. Every email. Every stair. Come on my hand, Nanami."

Her fingers curled once, hard, against the place inside her.

Nanami came with her teeth sunk in her own wrist so the neighbors would not hear.

It rolled through her in long hot waves, and her hips lifted off the cushion and her toes curled in the tatami.

Ria did not stop.

Ria worked her through it, slow and wet and sure.

Nanami sagged back against the wall when the last shudder had run out of her.

Nanami's glasses had slid halfway down her nose.

Her lanyard had somehow been pulled up over her left shoulder.

Under the table, Ria drew her fingers out carefully, and the quilt shifted.

She crawled out backward, her red hair full of static and her cheeks flushed.

Her eyes were bright gold and her mouth was wet.

She knelt by the table, looked straight at Nanami, and licked her fingers one at a time.

"Rent is received for this week," she said, not quite steadily. "In full."

Nanami laughed until she hiccuped.

She pushed the glasses back up her nose.

"That was not rent," she said.

Ria's tongue stopped on her index finger.

Her face changed.

For a moment she looked more nervous than a woman of two hundred and fourteen had any right to.

"No," she said at last, and it was nearly a whisper. "It was not."
