Swimwear Market Size, Growth, Sales Value and Forecast | Haddow Group Plc, Nike Inc., Boardriders
According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, Swimwear Marketby Fabric, Distribution Channel, and End User: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2018-2024 the global swimwear market was valued at $18,454 million in 2017, and is projected to reach $28,148 million by 2024, registering a CAGR of 6.2% from 2018 to 2024. In 2017, the swimwear market for woman accounted for more than two-thirds share of the global market in terms of value. Swimwear is a type of clothing or costume designed to be worn by people engaged in swimming, water sports, swimming, surfing, water skiing, or even sunbathing. Different styles of modern swimsuits are available. These vary according to body coverage and materials. Different fabrics used for making swimwear include polyester, nylon, spandex, and other blended fabrics, which gives it the required stretch and makes it capable of withstanding sun, chlorine, and salt water.
Global Key Players: In terms of value, Asia-Pacific and LAMEA collectively contributed more than 30% share in the global market in 2017. The key players operating in swimwear industry are Haddow Group Plc, Nike Inc., Boardriders, Inc., Arena Italia S.p.A., Swimwear Anywhere, Inc., Adidas AG, Dick's Sporting Goods, Gap Inc., Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (PVH Corp.), and Perry Ellis International Inc. Get Free Sample @ https://www.alliedmarketresearch.com/request-sample/4670  Swimming is consider as a healthy and low-impact activity that has many physical and mental health benefits such as alleviating stress, building endurance, muscle strength, and cardiovascular fitness. It also helps maintain a healthy weight, healthy heart, and healthy lungs. Swimming is a great recreational activity for people of all ages. Growth in interest of consumer in swimming as recreational & fitness activity supports the growth of the global swimwear industry. The growth of the global swimwear market is primarily driven by product innovation. The changes in fashion trends and increase in disposable income of consumer results in the increased purchase of modern and designer swimsuit, especially multifunctional one-piece and cover-ups, which are also perceived as a fashion statement, thus propelling the growth of the swimwear market. In addition, factors such as growth in demand for luxury swimwear by women, increase in family vacations along beach side, and high penetration of ecommerce platforms also boost the growth of the swimwear market. However, price volatility of raw materials such as polyester, nylon, polypropylene, spandex, neoprene, & other fibers and cost of designing swimwear having desired texture, design, look, and other fashion attributes affects the swimwear market size to a greater extent. In addition, to cater to the fluctuating demand for different designs and innovative swimwear, heavy inflow of investment for the R&D is required, which also hampers the growth of the swimwear market.   Use of fabrics with features such as high thermal insulation, enhanced flexibility, adequate surface friction, and lightweight nature such as neoprene has increased the production of wetsuits and swimsuits. Incorporation of such advanced fibers to develop fabrics for swimwear is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the swimwear market. In addition, factors such as introduction of multifunctional cover-up swimwear and beachwear coupled with expansion in product line and innovations in men's swimwear also provide great opportunities for the swimwear market in the upcoming years. Key Findings of the Swimwear Market: By end user, the woman swimwear segment was the highest contributor to the market in 2017, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.4%.
By fabric, the polyester segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR of 6.5% from 2018 to 2024.
By region, Asia-Pacific accounted for one-fifth of the share in the global swimwear market in 2017 and is projected to grow at a significant CAGR of 8.4%.
In 2017, China accounted for the highest swimwear market share accounting approximately for 31.51% in Asia-Pacific.
In 2017, by distribution channel, the offline segment generated the highest swimwear market share and is expected to grow at significant CAGR of 6.2%.
By fabric, the polyester and spandex segments collectively accounted for about 65% share of the swimwear market in 2017.

Side business
Gianni, a 23-year-old marketeer that recently graduated, landed a job as a junior press officer at a prestigious Italian fashion brand. As he embarked on his exciting new career, he began sharing his adventures on social media. His Instagram account quickly gained popularity, attracting an audience of over 50,000 followers.
Tumblr media
His boss discovered Gianni's growing online influence and recognized its potential. Impressed by his ability to engage with an audience, Gianni was promoted to a senior position within the company. His boss even suggested a plan for Gianni to collaborate with other influencers and showcase outfits before they hit the stores. This strategy greatly boosted the brand's sales and left everyone involved thrilled with the results.
Gianni's online presence caught the attention of travel brands, who saw a perfect opportunity to collaborate with him. Combining his passion for travel with his current job seemed like a dream come true. Eventually, Gianni was offered a different position that allowed him to travel the world as a brand ambassador and head of social media. This proved to be a tremendous success, as he earned money by partnering with other brands and posting about their products. His healthy lifestyle and fitness journey also made him a sought-after expert, leading to features in renowned publications like Vogue, Vanity Fair, and G.Q Gianni's popularity continued to rise, and he enjoyed the luxury of a lavish lifestyle, complete with a glamorous personal trainer, Francesco. Francesco drives a Porsche and loves fancy watches.
Tumblr media
For many years, Gianni thrived, giving Ted talks and attending exclusive parties, collaborating with numerous companies and earning substantial amounts of money. He even purchased a grand house in Tuscany and shared the renovation process online, engaging his followers with step-by-step updates and showcasing furniture brands.
Eventually, Gianni decided to leave his day job and focus solely on endorsement deals. He started offering online courses, recording podcasts from his home studio, and hosting, pay exclusive-per-view live Q&A sessions for his subscribers. While Gianni received many tempting offers of a sexual nature, he always declined. However, one evening, after consuming a few drinks, he engaged in a private, sexually explicit Q&A session with a follower named Franco89. This opened the door to more explicit conversations and eventually led Gianni to create a secret OnlyFans account. There, he redirected fans who desired sexually oriented content, including Franco89.
FitFrank, who Gianni initially didn't recognize, messaged him one day. Their conversations quickly evolved, and they eventually engaged in virtual intimate encounters. Although Gianni had his reservations, FitFrank eventually persuaded him to participate in paid jerk-off sessions, which they conducted weekly.
Amidst his immense success, Gianni received fan mail, flowers, and outfits from well-known brands. Due to his excellent physique, he could easily request any outfit he desired. One day, he found a box of cupcakes and received message a from FitFrank insinuating that he knew about the cupcakes. Initially Gianni dismissed, it, assuming it was a coincidence. However, after tasting and enjoying the cupcakes during one of his live sessions, FitFrank sent him a message, revealing that he was aware of Gianni’s indulgence. Intrigued, Gianni engaged in a conversation with FitFrank, who made an unusual offer: €100 for each cupcake Gianni ate during a live session. Although Gianni hesitated at first, FitFrank increased the offer to €1000 for two live eating sessions per month. Succumbing to the allure of the lucrative deal, Gianni agreed to indulge himself weekly.
Gianni's popularity continued to soar, and endorsement offers poured in, particularly for swimwear. Whenever he posted about a particular brand, it sold out immediately. His fit body, dedication to fitness, and healthy eating habits had transformed him into a lifestyle specialist, attracting media attention from magazines such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, and GQ.
Tumblr media
However, as Gianni's workload increased, he found less time for travel and decided to reduce his trips. Instead, he focused on providing online courses and hosting events exclusively in Italy. He also introduced paid subscriptions for his live Q&A sessions, further boosting his income.
Despite his success, Gianni couldn't help but notice his clothes becoming tighter. Concerned about his appearance, he decided to end his deal with FitFrank and ignored his messages. However, FitFrank responded by sending cupcakes every morning, tempting Gianni to continue their arrangement. Eventually, FitFrank offered even more money, €1000 per cake. Gianni decided to extend the deal for one more month.
Tumblr media
The cakes became larger and more challenging to consume, but Gianni managed to complete each one. FitFrank saw Gianni's dedication and increased the offer to €5000 per month after the last cake. Although the cakes grew in size, Gianni determination remained unwavering.
Despite his success, Gianni's lifestyle began to take a toll on his physique. Personal trainer Francesco expressed concern and suggested a diet to help Gianni lose weight. Francesco feared that having a visibly overweight ambassador would harm his own reputation. Gianni understood the need for change and revealed his to followers that he had gained weight during a renovation project. He created a weight loss program with Francesco for his fans, which received a positive response during the pre-sale phase.
Tumblr media
However, Gianni's weight gain continued, exacerbated by his ongoing indulgence in FitFrank's cakes and cupcakes. Francesco confronted Gianni during a live session, shocked by his additional weight gain. Promising to do better, Gianni continued his collaboration with Francesco, now paying for the fitness program.
After two weeks, Gianni realized that his efforts were futile, and he had only gained more weight. Francesco, furious with Gianni's lack of progress, demanded that he publicly announce the end of their collaboration or face legal consequences. Gianni reluctantly complied, confessing to his followers that he was too weak to continue the program. He stepped on the scale and broke down in tears at realization that he the had gained a significant amount of weight.
Tumblr media
Confused and desperate, Gianni questioned why he had continued the eating sessions despite having no financial need. Was it simply for attention? FitFrank, aware of Gianni's struggles, initiated a deep conversation that evening, forming a strong connection between them.
As Gianni's weight continued to increase due to FitFrank's challenges and his own overulindgence, he embarked on a four-week, all-inclusive trip to various resorts. The luxurious accommodations offered exquisite indulgences, leaving little time for exercise and fitness. He found himself in a predicament when thewear swim brands he had collaborated with realized his significant weight gain, causing them to distance themselves from him. Gianni grew about anxious his future and impact the his weight gain would have on his career.
Tumblr media
During this uncertain time, FitFrank remained a constant presence, sending messages and offering support. Feeling a sense of care and connection, Gianni appreciated FitFrank's attention. They grew closer, building a relationship that felt as though they had known each other for years.
 To salvage his career, Gianni had to lose weight, but the temptation of indulgent food and alcohol endorsements made it difficult to stick to his diet. In a desperate move, he accepted a deal with a champagne brand to become their brand ambassador for a year. This involved a week-long trip to a champagne mansion to sample the entire range and create content. The trip consisted of lavish tastings and extravagant meals, leaving Gianni hungover and on the brink of failure. He returned home feeling exhausted and defeated.
Gianni's weight became a source of worry, both for himself and the brands he had collaborated with. FitFrank continued to send him chocolates, and Gianni, feeling discouraged, started eating them. When FitFrank reached out, Gianni confessed his struggles, and their conversation became progressively intimate. However, during one chat, a technical glitch revealed FitFrank's identity, leaving Gianni enraged.
Confronting Francesco at the gym, Gianni discovered his personal trainer's secret life as a creator of weight gain content. Francesco had been secretly livestreaming and profiting from Gianni's weight gain journey, while driving an extravagant lifestyle. Francesco confessed to making over €450,000 from donations by viewers fascinated with Gianni's transformation.
 Feeling betrayed by Francesco, Gianni hatched a plan to regain control. He proposed a new arrangement to FitFrank, demanding a majority of the revenue, FitFrank's authentic appearance and FitFrank joins in on food challenges. If FitFrank refused, Gianni threatened to expose him to his clients. Relantly, Francesco agreed, realizing that he had little choice if he wanted to maintain his luxurious lifestyle.
Together, Gianni and FitFrank continued their indulgent food challenges, delighting their followers with their ever-expanding physiques. FitFrank's following and body grew, and their loyal fans paid top dollar for their content. The money poured in, but Gianni couldn't help but wonder if his obsession with food and attention had gone too far. And how far will he go?

All Clothes Are Handmade
As a sewist with access to a lot of fancy commercial-grade equipment, I think about this a lot. People have this idea that there's a lot of automation in making clothes, that robots do most of the work. They do not. Very low-wage humans do.
The machines can make fancy stitches, but they can't guide them. Cloth takes fine dexterity and constant adjustments to work with. Any sewist who's tried to sew a straight line but had their thoughts stray know how fast it goes tits up. The 2+ pieces need to be carefully pinned together (expert sewists can use very few pins, but still need some), and then carefully guided and managed so they stay exactly together as the same tension without wrinkles. And if there's any kind of curve, it takes great skill to do all of that while turning at precisely the right angle at the right time while keeping everything together. And then a human has to detect the end and change the stitch appropriately to secure the ends.
And then there's fabric management. A the front the fabric bunches in your lap and tries to fall down at weird angles. At the back in bunches up and tries to pull at weird angles. So you're constantly having to manage where all that fabric is going that you aren't currently sewing. And if you're sewing in the round (like putting on a sleeve), you have to manage bringing the back around to the front. All of this twists the entire garment, which has to be managed even when most of it is sitting next to you. In home sewing this is sometimes a 2-person job.
A machine cannot do any of that that. Automating clothing manufacturing is a holy grail people have been working on for a couple hundred years and are nowhere close to achieving. It takes the kind of very precise and constant adjustment with a sharp mind and keen eye that humans are very good at and machines are very bad at. Machines only sew in straight lines.
But people look at fast fashion prices and assume robots must be making their clothes. But they aren't. Highly skilled human beings in horrific work conditions at breakneck speed and brutal hours are being paid pennies to make even the cheapest and most low-quality garment. The entire commercial and consumer chain has simply dehumanized them into "must be robots."
This red swimsuit is selling for $10.99 from Walmart. It probably cost $2-$3 to produce.
Tumblr media
This striped swimsuit is selling for Beefcake Swimwear for $99. This is the fair price for a swimsuit made with ethical labor.
Tumblr media
Beefcake is a small Portland, Oregon company that uses local labor, local materials, and doesn't have a high markup. They cost $49 to manufacture (maybe more now with inflation). (With business expenses, trust me that margin is really slim.) Beefcake talks about "The real cost of American-made swimwear." Half the cost to produce is labor costs. I'd wager half the cost of the fabric is also labor costs. This is why clothing isn't typically made in the US, except using prison labor that's pretty literally slavery.
This is the true cost of a product that attempts to not exploit its workers. It's a luxury most people can't afford because the entire labor market exploits workers to the point of being unable to afford anything but exploitative goods and services. Fast fashion has convinced people they greatly benefit from supporting the worst of that exploitation.
These swimsuits were made on similar machines with similar materials by people with similar skill. The same degree of automation went into both of them. But the Walmart manufacturer sewists got paid less than a dollar to make that one and live in abject poverty, and the Beefcake sewists got paid $22, which is livable.
But robots didn't make either of these. human hands did. Human hands made every single piece of clothing in your closet. Think of how to cherish and care for their work.

MINA Harper's BAZAAR June 2024 issue
© Minami Myo Weibo
translation by MarisaTheCube
"Mina of TWICE poses against the shutters on a balcony offering a wide view of Paris, with a line of Hausmann-style buildings.
“I’ve wanted to try doing a fashion shoot for a magazine overseas. And the setting is Paris, which I love! The city’s buildings and the townscape are so beautiful, so it would make for a wonderful shoot, so I’ve been really looking forward to it.” When looking at a photo of herself dissolving into the Parisian scenery, a happy expression comes over her face. As the shoot continues, Mina changes into countless outfits and quickly captures their design, moving actively or standing still with a mature mood. Her movements are widely varied, just like a top model.
“Paris is known for its classic cityscape, but the people living there are also wonderful. There’s a calm atmosphere, and I admire the way people spend time at cafes, use chic fashion in their own ways, and dress up at night to enjoy the nightlife. When I first visited Paris, I was looking forward to sightseeing. I was able to go see the outside of the Louvre, but there wasn’t time to go inside, so I was looking forward to going there the next time. If I had an opportunity to stay longer, there are so many other plans I would want to do, like getting up in the morning and going to a café, going to the market if the weather was nice – spending time here as though I lived here,” she says with a sparkle in her eye.
In order to embody Mina’s dream plan, the shoot this time is themed as if Mina was studying abroad in Paris for a short time during the summer season. She wears Fendi’s summer collection in a bourgeois-chic apartment to express the feeling of spending time freely in the summer.
“The Fendi summer collection that I wore for the shoot this time has a fresh style of Western clothing and swimwear. When you think of swimwear, you often get the image that it’s only worn at places like the beach or the pool. But if you wear a jacket and skirt or denim pants over it, you can wear it around town, and it’s very new and cool. My personal favorite is the combination of a short jacket and striped skirt with swimwear.”
Mina travels around the world as a member of TWICE. In 2023, the group embarked on their fifth world tour, becoming the first girl group to perform at stadiums in Japan, and set records for days in a row, including setting the record for the first girl group to hold a sold-out performance at LA’s SoFi Stadium. The group’s tour is ongoing, and they are currently scheduled to hold a performance at Nissan Stadium, where they will be the first overseas female artists to perform. Mina is enthusiastic, saying, “It will be a challenge for us.”
Furthermore, last year, she began unit activities with MISAMO. “The three of us - Sana-chan, Momo-chan, and I – have been working as hard as we can to support each other. This year, we hope to go on tour for the album we released as MISAMO.”
Mina shows off her beautiful new faces one after another, both as a member of the world-famous girl group that captivates audiences with their amazing live performances, and as a model participating in fashion shoots as a brand muse. In January of this year, she attended Fendi’s couture collection as a guest, and made her show debut. She expressed that she was nervous about going to the show alone, but said, “Personally, I love Fendi, so I was even more excited for that. I bought my first knitwear a few years ago, and thought it was really cool and comfortable. After that, I bought a bag, and now I use it regularly. Personally, I like the “Peekaboo” collection. Fendi generally has very feminine collections, but they also debut some very imaginative items, so I’m always looking forward to surprises.”
As mentioned, this was Mina’s first time coming to Paris alone for a fashion shoot since her debut. She gave the impression of a female image that was simultaneously cute, intellectual, and elegant. What kind of expression will she show in her next fashion shoot? We can’t take our eyes off Mina as she continues to put forth effort and gain experience to update her form.
Mina is a member of the nine-member girl group TWICE, who are scheduled to perform at Nissan Stadium this year. Also, last year, she formed MISAMO with fellow Japanese members Sana and Momo and began unit activities."

Toji fushiguro x F!Reader
(Black female reader)
Context - Toji can't sleep and decides to ask if you wanna go to an indoor hot tub. However, the heat seems to be fogging all reasonable thoughts...
CW - heavy makeout, slight smut, fingering, marking, oral (f!receiving) - not proofread
ও part 3←→part 5
Toji was restless to say the least. For starters, he didn't like the way Geto was trying to advance on you. The way he held a shit eating grin whenever you laughed at a stupid joke he made.
Toji couldn't blame him though. He'd denied anything Gojo had spurred and obviously Geto thought you were on the market.
And before Toji knew it, he was walking out of the door to his hotel room and going down the hall, coming to a halt when he reached yours.
He only knew because he'd seen you entering when the group was coming up.
And before he could think things over, he knocked a few times, a bit surprised when he saw light come from the bottom.
And after a few shuffles, you opened the door, eyes slightly tired but relaxed as you stared up at him.
"Oh... Hey." You greeted, straightening up and opening the door a bit further, giving him a nice view of the white robe you wore, stopping mid thigh, the rest of your bare thighs feeding his hungry eyes.
You looked devourable.
"Toji.." you called out to him, giving him a small smile when his eyes met yours. "You sure you're ok? You were acting out of it when we were outside earlier."
Toji put on a faux smile.
"Sorry, still in work mode." Toji hummed, looking down the hall before meeting your eyes again. "Wanna do something?"
You seemed skeptical but Toji could tell you were interested in what he had to offer.
"Go on.."
"Did some looking around while you were on your clothing emergency... They got an indoor hot tub downstairs..." Toji brought up, looking basically anywhere but you.
"You want me to go with you?" You asked.
"If you're not too tired."
You bit your bottom lip, thinking for a bit before nodding.
"Sure. Just let me pack a swim bag and I'll be there."
Toji nodded, waiting until you closed the door before quickly bolting down the hall and going back to his own room, shoving in a swimsuit and some towels before quickly rushing around to your room, taking the few minutes he had before you came back to catch his breath.
You finally came back out, this time dressed in a three piece blush lounge set, your bag in hand.
Toji led you down to the lobby, the awkward aura between the both of you blocking any conversation starters.
You on the other hand, didn't know why it was this awkward and blamed it on what Gojo and Toji said - work. Following the small part of what Gojo told you, they were in the financial field of business and just from hearing about numbers, you could tell they'd get stressed a lot.
Once you both got to the indoor swimming area, you noticed frosted glass doors at the far end.
"It's really nice in here," you commented, filing the awkward silence while toji led you towards the glass doors at the end. "Maybe we could bring the group next time."
Toji's brow furrowed.
"Maybe."
You both got to one of the glass doors, Toji halting.
"Might wanna get changed before we go in." Toji pointed out.
You'd almost forgot about that. You and toji split up momentarily, going to the assigned areas to change into your swimwear before meeting him back outside the frosted glass doors.
Toji admired the swimsuit you wore. A tight white one piece swimsuit, the straps held behind your neck whilst the front was slightly exposed, the deep v cut ending at your waist. He took a deep breath before turning to the doors.
Toji pushed the doors open. "After you."
You looked around the room. It was like a mini hot tub room, the tub being built into marble floors with a control panel attached to the wall.
"Wow."
That was all you could even say, quickly crouching down and swirling a hand into the tub to check the temperature before letting your feet sink in, sitting in the corner whilst sighing, moving into the control panel whilst making 'ooh' and 'ah' sounds once you found out you could change the lights in the tub, choosing your favourite colour before sitting back against the rests.
"Are you gonna come in or just stand and watch?"
Toji hummed before slipping inside beside you, making sure he gave you a bit of space which wasn't as easy.
"Both would be alright for me." Toji sighed, resting in the warm water.
You felt your face warm but internally blamed it on the water.
"So. You and Geto have been getting along." Toji picked up.
He hated the way your eyes slightly lit up.
"Yea, he's really nice and... Funny." You smiled, hands playing with the water slightly.
Toji's eyes narrowed as he watched you.
"Plus, he gets on well with my friends which is even better-"
You paused when you felt Toji's arm move around your shoulder, his hand moving to your chin, making you look up at him.
"Toji-?"
He leaned in slowly, your heart racing as he did so.
"You're too relaxed around me.." was all Toji murmured against your lips before his met yours, your body freezing as his mouth moved against yours, hesitating before finally reciprocating, your arms moving to wrap around his neck whilst his went below the water, hugging your waist.
Your brows furrowed as you hummed against Toji, his teeth sinking into your bottom lip. Your lips parted and toji took it upon himself to push his tongue into your mouth, his muscle swirling with yours while your nails instinctively sunk into his shoulders, earning yourself a deep groan that made your blood run south.
Toji finally broke the kiss, allowing you to take in deep breaths of much needed oxygen. But he wasn't letting you go that easily. He wrapped his hands around you, pulling you onto his lap before attacking your neck, a gasp escaping your lips. Toji began biting deeply into your skin, sucking and kissing your smooth skin whilst his hands moved around to your ass, groping and touching as much as he could while enjoying your embarrassed whimpers.
He finally moved from your neck, pride washing over once he saw the love bites scattered across your neck and collar bone, knowing you'd have a hard time hiding or explaining them to your friends.
And even though he wanted them to see, (especially Geto) you weren't his....not yet.
You looked down at toji wearily, still trying to regulate your breathing after the intense making out session he'd just led you through.
"Toji.." you whispered against his lips, hands hesitating before moving your hands up his chest, stopping at his shoulders, nails grazing against his neck, admiring the tattoo ink that covered his skin.
All Toji could do was admire you. You looked even better on top of him than he had imagined. But he wanted more. More of you. This. He wanted it all.
Toji's lips met yours, enveloping you in another warm kiss, his hands squeezing any part he could get his hands on, making sure to engrave this memory in his mind.
Sadly, the universe wasn't on toji's side this time, a loud vibrating sound coming from your bag. You broke the kiss, turning to look at your bag before letting out a huff of air, moving off of toji's lap to make your way over to the small steps, sitting on the edge before reaching for your phone.
Toji watched you pout lightly at the caller ID before you answered.
"Jaydon? Everything alright?"
Toji's jaw clenched.
How many men did you know?
"I already told you!" You groaned. "The organic is for daily meals and the store brand isn't. Those are just for emergencies so if I see the store brands ran out then I'll cut off your dreads. D'you hear me?"
You didn't wait for a reply, instead hanging up and sighing before looking at Toji.
"Sorry about that..." You smiled sweetly, lightly kicking against the warm water.
"Don't worry bout it." Toji dismissed, moving over to you, his hands caging you between him and the edge of the tub.
His eyes scanned over your face before he moved over to your neck, adding more bites and sucking your flesh.
"Wait- Toji-!" You gasped, your body shivering once his hands moved to cup your breasts.
Toji hummed against your skin, still biting softly
"Don't want me to?" He questioned between kisses.
You did want him to. But it all felt so rushed.
Before you could answer, your phone began to vibrate again, this time Toji whispering profanities which almost made you giggle.
Toji moved away from you, this time sitting beside you.
You quickly answered, this time the caller ID being Diane.
"Hey, what's up?" You quickly asked. It was even later than before.
"Heyy, y/n. Sorry," she yawned. "I just forgot to tell you I had to put my vitamins in one of your bags and I was supposed to get them before. You still in bed?"
"Uhm-" you bit the inside of your cheek, looking over at toji who has his eyes closed, arms stretched whilst he lounged under the water. "Just...enjoying the hot tub?"
"Oo, sounds nice...but are you coming back up anytime soon?"
You got up hastily, reaching for your bag to grab your towel and slippers.
"Yeah, I'm making my way up right now."
"Alright, I'll just wait here-"
You ended the call, shoving your phone into your bag.
"Sorry, but I need to go, quick." You rambled, sliding into your slippers, wrapping a towel around your waist after. "Diane's, waiting for me...."
Toji barely had time to respond before you left the room, leaving toji in the hot tub.
"Fucking hell...."
⎯⎯☾⎯⎯
"Thank youu~" Diane hummed once you threw the pill bottle over to where she laid on your bed. "So, how was the hot tub?"
You shrugged, sucking In your lips before remembering what had happened between you and toji just minutes ago.
Diane's mouth formed a smug smile before she rolled over to the edge of the bed, resting on her stomach.
"You think I don't know?" She raised a brow. "I have a room right across from you."
You felt your face flush before looking away, moving to sit at one of the plush chairs near the vanity.
"Nothing happened."
Diane scoffed. "Your neck, y/n. You might wanna hide all those marks."
Your hand quickly moved to cover your neck, turning in your chair to look at the mirror, your mouth falling at the sight of all the dark marks toji had left on your neck.
"Shoot-" you mumbled, your face heating up more.
"Bustedd." Diane smirked.
"It's not what you think- we were just."
"Having a steamy quickie in a hot tub?" Diane interrupted.
"No- we just talked...and maybe kissed a bit?"
Diane made loud 'ooo' sounds before moving over to where you were sat.
"Sure it didn't go further?"
"Course not! Besides, you interrupted." You dismissed, getting up and moving to your bags, pulling out an oversized shirt. "Now get outta hear, I wanna get some rest for tomorrow."
Diane pouted before walking over to the door. "Fine, but tomorrow I want juicy details, not this vanilla crap-"
She left quickly before you could think about throwing anything at her. You let out a deep huff before changing into your shirt, finally retreating back to your bed.
Just before you could finally fall asleep, a thought dawned over you.
How would you be able to face him?
⎯⎯ ☾⎯⎯
"Here you go,"
"Ah, thanks." You thanked Geto, taking the ice-cream cone from his hand.
He sat beside you on a towel
"You ok? You look tense," he pointed out.
You avoided his gaze, focusing on the treat in front of you instead.
"I'm ok, just a rough..... Night"
You paused between your sentences when Geto leaned in, his hand moving a braid from your shoulder.
"Do you have ointment? You have some mosquito bites here... Large ones too."
You felt your face heat up, your hand moving to cover the area.
"Oh, no... I'll have to see if there's a place to get them around here.."
Geto hummed, obviously not convinced but still decided to leave you be.
"Hey, Geto," Diane called out to him as she jogged up to both of you. "Wanna join a game of volleyball with us? Y/n isn't really as fit as she looks."
Your mouth fell lightly whilst Geto chuckled.
"Sure," he finally agreed, getting up from the sand and walking off with Diane.
While they walked off, she turned around, her hand flicking from side to side whilst she winked before jogging to keep up with Geto's large steps.
You turned and saw Toji walking towards you, swimsuit trunks hugged a bit too low around his hips, showing off his delicious v line, a white unbuttoned shirt showing his well built chest. You quickly turned back, focusing on the volleyball game the rest of the group had started whilst you tried ignoring the saliva building in your mouth.
You hoped he hadn't seen you drooling over him.
Instead, you actually decided to watch the game, watching as Ada threw the volleyball up as the first serve, directing it over the net, Gojo's reflexes being able to knock it back over before it reached the sandy surface.
"Enjoying the game?"
You almost screamed when toji's hand touched your shoulder, making you look up at him immediately.
"Gosh Toji!" You sighed, nudging his hand away before joining in on Toji's light chuckles. "Don't scare me like that."
"Sorry, sweetheart.... Wanna go for a walk?"
You looked down at your almost finished come before meeting his green eyes again.
"Sure."
Toji helped you up and let his hand slide over your shoulder, bringing you in a lot closer which made your heart beat speed up.
Truth be told, Toji was going off tangent. At first, he didn't know what to say to you when he saw you sat with Geto In a pretty pink two piece swimsuit that Geto couldn't stop secretly ogling at. His blood was boiling but he felt small fingers prod at his side.
"Hi toji." It was Diane - your little friend from the maid café.
"Oh...hi."
They both stood in silence before Diane spoke up.
"You wanna talk to y/n, huh?" Diane hummed, a teasing smile on her face which made Toji's cheek tint a light pink.
"Of course not..."
"Sure. Anyways, I'll go get my volleyball partner."
Then he watched Diane walk over to you and Geto, talking to the pair of you before eventually getting Geto to come with her, giving toji a sideward glance before flicking her hand back and forth which got your attention, resulting in you looking back at Toji.
He still was hesitant in talking to you because of yesterday but he noticed some guys hanging around who were nodding towards you, two of them betting on how long it'd take to get your number...or more. That was the final straw for Toji, finally making his way over to ignite a conversation.
"So..." You broke the silence as you both continued walking further, the ambience from everyone enjoying the beach slowly dying down as you reached a small area down the side. "Did you just bring me here to kill me with silence?"
Toji smirked at your sarcasm.
"Well...we could do somethin' more interesting."
You felt your body warm at how his voice sent vibrations between your thighs.
"Something.... interesting like what?" You asked, your voice a bit shaky but still a lot more alluring than you wanted.
Toji suddenly stopped, making you stop with him as his arm was still wrapped around you.
"Seashells."
You were confused but looked down, noticing a variety of different coloured seashells in the sand.
"What?" Toji grinned when he saw your flustered face. "You wanna do somethin' else?"
Instead of answering you just shook your head, ducking down to pick up a turquoise coloured shell, instead focusing your attention on it to ignore how you were reacting to him.
"This one's pretty too..." You hummed, picking up a purple shell.
Toji however, couldn't give a damn about the shells you were looking at, his eyes focusing on the curve of your ass as you bent down, observing the way your hot pink swimsuit complimented your skin, toji knowing to finally look away when he felt his hand twitch against his side. He wanted to hold you again, memories of yesterday's events flooding his mind, his dick twitching against the confinements of his clothing.
"Hey, Toji,"
He quickly looked at your face, putting on his best poker face while he looked at the shells you held up to him when you finally stood straight.
"Like these?"
He scanned over the different varieties of colours before his eyes moved to your breasts.
"They're...really beautiful.." he commented.
You smiled lightly before looking over your shoulder.
"Hey, I think I see a small cave opening over there..."
And once again, you zoomed off in that direction, leaving Toji to trail after you. Not that he was complaining though. He liked what he could see from the back. But he wondered what your ass would look like as he bounced you on his-
"I was right. C'mere,"
Jeez he had to get a grip, his dick was twitching more.
Toji walked over to where you were stood, looking into the small space.
"Not really a cave, sweetheart. Just the rocks being uneven.."
You shrugged.
"Well, it's big enough for both of us." You observed, walking into the discreet area, shielding you from the sun. You sighed in relief, carefully placing the seashells on the sandy ground. "It's even cool here."
Toji bent slightly because of his height but could stand at full height once he fully entered, walking over to the stone wall to lean on it.
"It's pretty nice here," you commented. "Like a secret base."
"You're the only 20 year old I've heard say 'secret base' in a long time." Toji huffed, grateful to be out of the sun for a bit.
You were about to retort but the soft patter of water stopped you. You both looked out onto the beach, noticing light rain that slowly began to become heavier.
"Well..." You sighed.
Toji seemed unfazed though.
"You wanna run back?"
You shook your head.
"I got my braids not long ago and they still look fresh so no way!" You grimaced.
Toji looked away for a split second and then back at you, only to see you had your phone in hand. He was going to ask where you pulled that out but decided to stay curious after second thinking about it.
"Texting someone?"
"Yeahh, making sure Diane took my makeup bag in....can't get any service though..."
Toji nodded mindlessly before scanning the space you were both in, before his eyes finally landed back on your neck, noticing you'd hidden the marks he left.
"Hey,"
You let out a hm, letting Toji know you were listening before finally turning your phone off to look at him.
Toji pushed you up against the stone walls, catching you off guard, his hands cornering you in.
"Toji-"
"Tried covering them up, hm?" Toji pointed out, his hand moving to smudge the foundation you'd placed to reveal one of the large marks Toji had left the night prior. "Don't want Geto to see?"
His tone had a lot more possessiveness and a slight bit of passive aggressiveness laced but you didn't notice. that or you decided to ignore it.
"I- I don't want them getting the wrong idea..."
Toji's brow raised before moving to the crook of your neck, laying messy kisses there that had you gasping, your legs becoming weak as you held onto his shirt.
"What's the wrong idea, sweetheart?"
You tried finding the words but you couldn't, not with Toji distracting you. Regardless, you wouldn't be able to answer that either. Were you friends? More? Less? You didn't know. All you did know was that you liked how it felt being in toji's hold, liked having him touch you, mark you, kiss you.
You were brought from your thoughts when you felt Toji's teeth graze against the shell of your ear.
"What's running through your mind princess?" He asked, his hands moving to massage your sides before playing with the waistband of your swimsuit bottoms.
You were about to answer but Toji cut you off with a kiss, his mouth moving smoothly against yours. You eventually melted against him, your hands moving up his chest as a 'discreet' way to feel his nice build. You weren't disappointed to say the least, your hands venturing further until they were hooked around his neck.
You let out a surprised gasp when you felt Toji's hand move further down, cupping your clothed sex. You whimpered once toji's tongue slipped into your mouth, your body shaking when his thumb grazed over your clit.
Toji finally broke the kiss, letting you take in air whilst you looked up at him.
"Wanna see you.." toji mumbled.
You were a bit confused at what Toji meant before realisation slowly washed over you, your body warming even more before you slowly nodded, watching toji's hands move up, your breath hitching when his hands gazed over your breasts to get to the straps of your swimsuit top. He carefully slid them down your shoulders. You expected him to take the rest of the flowy material off but instead he left it there, his hands moving down south once more, pulling your swimsuit to the side before he slipped his middle finger into your heat, your nails digging into the nape of his neck after being caught by surprise, an airy gasp leaving your plump lips.
"Toji-"
"Shit, you're so wet down here, sweetheart," toji pointed out the obvious, eyes fixed on your wet sex sucking in his fingers hungrily. "Wanted my fingers that bad?"
You whimpered once he finally started thrusting his fingers in and out of you, clinging onto him harder while your teeth sunk into your bottom lip.
"Please Toj-" you whined loudly once he brushed against that plush spot.
Toji smirked before curling his fingers, the pads of his fingers pressing against the soft spot deep inside you that had you whimpering louder.
"Here, huh?"
You quickly nodded, your hips rocking back and forth, making toji chuckle at how needy you'd suddenly become.
His fingers focused on the new target, setting a fast and rough pace as he spared you no mercy, repeatedly hitting your soft spot, causing your knees to almost buckle at the immense feeling of your orgasm building up at a rapid pace, your head falling against his chest. You'd always struggled when you tried reaching those deep spots by yourself.
"You like it here?" Toji asks, pushing his fingers further, not stopping until he was knuckle deep, his fingers pressing firmly against that soft spot, making your eyes glass over, your orgasm threatening to tip over.
"Toji- Please- 'm gonna cum-" you whined, still rocking your hips as he scissored his fingers in and out of you.
"alright, sweetheart, cum on my fingers." Toji whispered against you before pushing you back up against the stone wall, his lips meeting yours once again.
After another thrust, you felt your walls spasm around toji's fingers, your body shaking as pleasure washed over your body. A loud whine emitted from your throat as more waves of pleasure rushed through you, your legs threatening to give way. Toji helped you ride out your high, slowly pushing his fingers in and out of you, only halting when your hands moved to stop him when you felt the overstimulation finally set in.
"You enjoy that, sweetheart?" Toji questioned, slowly pulling his fingers out of you before bringing them to his lips, making sure to savour your taste on his tongue.
You bit your lip, half your energy gone from the amazing orgasm toji had led you through.
You thought toji would give you some time to rest, but to your surprise, toji dropped to his knees, spreading your thighs apart.
"Toji-! What're you doing," you stammered when you felt his lips graze against the inside of your thighs.
"Sorry sweetheart...You're not leaving until you've finished on my face, ok? You can give me a few more can't you?"
You tried pushing him away but once his tongue lapped over your folds once, you knew it was inevitable. It felt amazing and truth be told, you'd never had a man go down on you. Your past relationships never brought up the idea and the few times you'd been brave enough to bring it up, you were immediately shut down.
But toji's tongue had you a moaning mess. His muscle skillfully moving between your folds before moving to your clit, sucking hard on your sensitive bud which made you groan, your hands travelling through his dark locks, wanting to push him away and pull him in at the same time.
"Fuckk- Toji." You gasped once his teeth lightly grazed over your clit.
"You can do it for me princess." Toji hummed, his breath tickling your clit before he went back to his meal, sucking and licking your wet heat, not bothering to give you a break.
You felt yourself clench around nothing at the tone of his voice. Eventually, you felt yourself grinding against his mouth, making Toji hum in approval, his hands moving up your thighs whilst he continued eating you out seemingly for his own pleasure.
"Fuck, you taste so good-" toji groaned between quick licks.
Before you knew it, that familiar build up of your impending orgasm, your hold on toji's hair tightening.
"Toji-" you moaned, the light flicks of his tongue against your clit cutting you off.
Toji moved away from you, making you whine while looking down at him. His mouth and chin were messily coated in your fluids, a lustful glint in his eyes. You moaned at the feeling of his fingers sinking into your entrance once more.
"Go on then, give it to me," Toji sighed, his mouth returning to suck on your clit hungrily.
You didn't waste another second, letting your high wash over once more, your legs shaking against Toji as your eyes threatened to roll back.
Toji took his time cleaning you up, licking over your quivering pussy before cleaning the inside of your thighs before pulling your swimsuit back to its original place, letting you finally sink to the floor whilst Toji stood up, licking his lips before finally using the back of his hand to wipe over his chin.
"hey, don't fall asleep on me now. Rains lightened up." Toji called out to you.
Toji took off his shirt, placing it over your head.
You looked up at Toji, still tired but slightly confused.
"didn't wanna get your hair wet right? Should work as a temporary umbrella... Now C'mon. Everyone's probably wondering where we are."
You lightly nodded, your head still foggy from what just happened, eventually letting Toji pull you up and lead you out of the cave, a smug smirk resting on his lips.
He'd make you his soon enough.
