L*ck Me If You Can-Chapter 86

“Mm, mmh, mm.”

Soft sounds leaked out from Koi’s tightly sealed lips. Ashley, with one arm wrapped around Koi’s waist, reached for one of the clenched fists resting on his chest and pulled it up behind his own neck. When he tugged the other hand too, Koi finally moved on his own and wrapped his arms around Ashley’s neck. Ashley smiled against his lips.

Koi really does learn fast.

Ashley thought, though he still hadn’t managed to get Koi to open his mouth. He had licked and gently bitten his soft lips over and over again, but they stayed tightly shut, like a well-defended fortress.

Is he still scared?

Ashley couldn’t remember at all what his own first kiss had been like. How can I get these lips to open? He pondered, leaning in again for another kiss—when Koi suddenly pulled his head back.

“Um.”

Ashley frowned slightly at the loss of contact, and Koi, clearly flustered and apologetic, began to stammer.

“Uh, I just thought... maybe we’ve been... doing this for too long? We should probably shower and head back soon, right? Someone might come by to lock up...”

They had locked the locker room door when they came in, but if a guard found them, the sweet mood would be ruined. Koi was right, but Ashley wasn’t thrilled about it. His mind had been filled with nothing but the kiss, while Koi seemed to be thinking about everything else. Watching him glance nervously toward the door, Ashley found him a little annoying. He let go of Koi’s waist—and moved his hands lower.

“Ah—ahhh!”

As Ashley lifted Koi’s skirt and grabbed each butt cheek through his underwear, Koi shrieked in surprise. Ashley felt a bit better after seeing that reaction. Koi instinctively let go of Ashley’s neck and reached back, but of course Ashley’s large hands were already there. Koi’s face turned pale as he struggled to remove them, but they didn’t budge—instead, Ashley started kneading him teasingly.

“Your butt’s small too, Koi.”

But the texture was amazing. It fit perfectly in his big hands, and the soft flesh was as sweet as the kiss itself. And unlike lips, it didn’t give him any trouble. As Ashley continued to grope freely, Koi completely panicked. Finally, he grabbed Ashley’s hands and shouted,

“You—you pervert! Only perverts do stuff like this!”

“I’m your boyfriend though?”

Ashley gave a playful squeeze as if to punish him. Koi let out another high-pitched shriek. As Ashley briefly thought how much it sounded like a moan, Koi added desperately,

“That’s why you’re not supposed to do stuff like this!”

Ashley furrowed his brow and looked down at him.

“Why not?”

This time, it wasn’t teasing—he was genuinely confused. Why couldn’t a boyfriend touch his partner’s body? This felt like a serious issue. Koi, realizing the flaw in his logic, stammered with no clear answer.

“B-because, um...”

Ashley stared at him sternly, brows still drawn together. Koi felt increasingly cornered. After mumbling “um, um,” several times, he finally blurted out,

“B-because I have to shower, and a boyfriend shouldn’t get in the way of that.”

“Oh...”

Ashley finally let out a small sound of realization. Did that actually work? As Koi looked up at him hopefully, Ashley gave a small smile. Koi relaxed and smiled back, and Ashley said,

“Then let’s shower together.”

“Huh?”

Koi blinked in confusion. Wasn’t that the whole point of coming here?

“I’m your boyfriend, right?”

Ashley asked again, as if confirming. He’d been fooled earlier, but this time he was sure—Ashley meant they’d go into the shower together. With that thought, Koi nodded.

“Ah, yeah. Okay.”

Still holding Ashley’s hand, he answered.

“Let’s shower together.”

“Yeah.”

Ashley replied, then leaned down and gently kissed him. This time, Koi puckered his lips and responded right on cue. Ashley lifted his head again with a smile, and Koi smiled back. But then, in the very next second, Ashley squeezed his butt again, and Koi let out another ear-splitting scream.

“Ash!”

Koi shouted his name, practically trembling. Only then did Ashley release him—but not before giving one last fond pat. Koi scrambled to protect his now-vacant backside. He’d let his guard down for just a second and paid for it again. With his eyes narrowed and body on high alert, Koi stared up at Ashley, who was thinking,

You’re wide open, Koi.

He could’ve gone for Koi’s cute chest or even lower, but decided to pull back for now. Koi’s head would probably explode just from what he’d experienced so far. Instead, Ashley offered a peace gesture.

“Okay, no more teasing. Let’s actually shower now.”

He smiled and held out his hand, but Koi just glanced at it, not reaching out. Ashley frowned and asked,

“Don’t you trust your boyfriend?”

Boyfriend—such a magical word. As soon as Ashley said it with a slightly hurt expression, Koi’s defenses crumbled.

“I do...”

Mumbling softly, ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ Koi lowered his gaze to Ashley’s outstretched hand. One of the hands that had been guarding his butt hesitated, then slowly reached out to take it. Ashley couldn’t help but pull him into a hug.

“You’re so cute, Koi.”

“Um, yeah.”

Not even understanding what he was agreeing to, Koi answered. Ashley genuinely felt like he wanted to eat him up. His mind buzzed, but instead he wrapped an arm around Koi’s shoulder and headed toward the shower.

“Ah.”

Just as they were about to enter, Koi stopped. Ashley looked down at him, and Koi looked flustered as he spoke.

“My bag... it has my clothes and stuff... it’s in the cheerleading team’s changing room.”

“Really?”

Ashley solved the issue without hesitation.

“I’ll go get it. Is it by the door?”

“Huh? Uh... yeah, I think so?”

Unless the others had moved it, it should still be there. As Koi gave a vague reply, Ashley said clearly,

“Go ahead and start showering—there’s shampoo and soap over there.”

He pointed inside as he opened the door to the shower, then left the locker room to retrieve the bag.

Once alone, silence fell around him. Koi suddenly felt nervous and looked around tensely. Of course, no one else was there.

Actually, maybe this is for the best.

Thinking that, Koi began to carefully undress. Just imagining stripping in front of Ashley made him want to die from embarrassment.

Ash must’ve done this to be considerate.

The thought made him feel thankful all over again for Ashley’s kindness.

Though... maybe it just means he’s really experienced...

His hands froze mid-motion as he reached for his underwear. How many girlfriends had Ashley had? Probably more than Koi could count. He kissed like a pro, too, and unlike Koi, who stumbled through everything, Ashley always seemed so composed.

Which means...

Right as that thought hit, Koi shook his head hard.

It’s not manly to obsess over your partner’s past.

He decided to act mature and let it go. What mattered was the present—and right now, he was Ashley’s boyfriend.

Boyfriend.

Such a strange word. Every time he thought about it, his chest swelled and his heart melted. Did Ashley feel that way too? Blushing, Koi carefully folded his clothes and set them on a bench before heading into the shower.

The stalls inside had dividers, but each space was pretty big. Given how large the hockey team members were, this size made sense. It was way bigger and nicer than the one in his motorhome. Koi marveled at the spacious, modern interior.

Well, the hockey team is the pride of the school.

He’d heard they got plenty of support, and the locker room facilities were no exception. He never thought he’d even see the inside, let alone take a shower there. It was weird—but in a good way.

Koi tiptoed carefully through the shower room and chose a stall. The only thing separating them were the walls on either side. Koi’s head barely peeked above them, but for most of the hockey team, who were over 190 centimeters, they’d barely reach chest level.

Everything here is so big—it’s like being a tiny person in the land of giants.

Koi turned on the shower. Cold water shot out first, making him jump back. As he reached for the hot water, a voice called from outside.

“Koi, I’m back.”

“Oh, okay.”

Ashley called out loudly on purpose, then fell silent. He was probably undressing, getting ready to come in. Koi clung to the wall, trying hard to turn the knob for hot water—but it wouldn’t budge.

Is it broken?

Should he move to another stall? He was still thinking when the shower room door suddenly burst open.

Ashley had come in. Koi froze, pulling his body in tight. There was no way he could casually walk around in front of him.

I’ll wait until Ash goes into a different stall—then I’ll move.

He’d just made up his mind when Ashley suddenly appeared right in front of him.
