[Kumano Tooru] Mysterious in Love (Torokete Mazatte) [Tigoris Translates]

Bookstore clerk Utsumi finally works up the nerve to ask his impossibly cool coworker Kawashima out to dinner, only for her to deadpan past the meal entirely and book them straight into a love hotel because she assumed his real goal was something else entirely. What follows is a sweaty, blushing tumble between the sheets—her calm exterior cracking into gasps as he sinks inside her, her legs locking around him as they fumble through their first night together. But back on the sales floor she's acting like nothing happened, and when another girl makes him laugh, something dark flickers across Kawashima's face, leaving him to realize he may have fallen for one hell of a girl.
