Off the Beaten Trail (Pixiv Fanbox)

The longstanding rivalry between Haley and Amber, both JROTC cadets, reaches a boiling point during a routine drill. Their mutual disdain for one another ignites as Amber antagonizes Haley, prompting a break from the group that leads them into a restricted zone—an eerie, secluded part of the forest used only for advanced military exercises.

As their argument escalates with increasing ferocity, it soon turns into an all-out brawl. Punches fly, kicks land with thuds, and Haley manages to bite Amber several times in desperation. However, Amber’s superior agility and tactical training give her the upper hand, and she ultimately subdues Haley.

Victorious but not yet satisfied with merely winning the fight, Amber decides to assert her dominance in a new way. She removes her heavy boots to reveal her sweaty feet, glistening under the canopy of trees. With a cruel smirk, she places one bare foot directly over Haley's face and pinches her nose shut, forcing the beaten girl to inhale through her mouth right against her sweaty sole. Droplets of sweat drip from Amber's foot onto Haley’s tongue, her nostrils and even her eyes, a feast for the senses. Amber watches, amused by Haley's grimaces and coughs, the salty taste of sweat overwhelming. As Haley’s muffled protests fill the air, Amber leans in closer, her foot pressing down harder, ensuring complete sensory overload.

Strangely amidst this intense encounter, a series of moans disrupt the silence of the forest—moans that seem oddly out of place. At first, Amber assumes they're coming from Haley but quickly grows irritated when they continue despite cover Haley's mouth. Annoyed and confused, she harshly commands Haley to be quiet. However, only a muted grunt escapes from Haley’s lips.

Realization dawns on Amber that these unsettling sounds are not emanating from her immediate opponent but from somewhere deeper within the restricted zone. The sudden chill in the air has a sobering effect on Haley as well.

With a mix of fear and curiosity painted across her face, Amber cautiously lifts her foot off Haley's face allowing her to breathe properly again. Both cadets scramble to their feet in an unspoken truce.

They run like hell.
