“Day after day they’d waited for Ryoji to be taken away for his tests. Then in the brilliant light of day Kaoru would lay Reiko down on the bed, hike up her skirt, pull down her panties, and examine her sex organ. It was no more than one organ of the many that made up her body, but he found it inexplicably fascinating. His love for her had endowed it with inestimable value.”

“I didn’t know you were there,�� he said, and with no thought for his nakedness he grabbed Kaoru’s glass from him and gulped down its contents. What surprised Kaoru was not only that his father was completely unclothed, but that his genitalia was larger than it normally was. It was covered with some sort of thin bodily fluid, and it gleamed slickly. It always hung limply when Kaoru and his father were in the bath together. But now it arched and pulsed, exuding the confidence of having fulfilled its role as a part of its owner’s body. The whole time his father was drinking the mineral water, Kaoru couldn’t tear his gaze from it. “What’re you looking at? Jealous?”
