Stealing Spree

Hearing those words from her surely put another smile on my face. Simple words but they carried most of what she’s feeling for me. Edel lived most of her life scared of men. It’s hard to imagine how she’s living before meeting Haruko and after her grandmother passed away.

Yet, despite the difficulty, she remained in this country instead of returning to her mother. Just from that alone, it projected how strong she was as a person. She might appear like a scaredy-cat during our initial interactions but that’s mostly because of her trauma. And even though she turned into an adorable koala after warming up to me, she’s apparently a little different when she’s only in their company.

From what I heard from Haruko, Himeko and Mina, without any presence of men, Edel was like a headstrong leader and a kind older sister. As a third-year, she’s the oldest among them, even older by a few months than the other third-year, Minori-senpai.

She would scold anyone, even Haruko if needed be and she would help them with studies, as long as it’s not a Japanese subject.

And when they’re out in public, she’s attracting the most attention. Despite her fears, she would intentionally put herself out so that the other four could escape those prying eyes.

Well, her foreign descent and aloof front also played a part in that.

Nonetheless, that’s how Serizawa Edelweiss is outside my perspective.

That’s also the reason why Himeko and Mina were a little shaken or surprised upon seeing her clinging to me after that moment where I decided to take care of her and listened to her past and the origin of her trauma.

At the moment, Edel wholeheartedly and affectionately accepted our relationship.

Perhaps, the only thing preventing her from saying those three magic words was the thought of Haruko. She did declare that she's number 1 for her but, even Haruko could admit that I had long overtaken her place, if not reached the same level in Edel’s heart.

Either way, that's fine for me. I would never see Haruko as another rival or anything. She’s also one of my girls and a special one at that.

Furthermore, I couldn’t simply erase everything she did for Edel and the other two.

In fact, rather than simply giving them as presents for my desire, having me fall in love with them and letting me work for their affection was the best option.

Anyway, even without saying ‘I love you too’, Edel's feelings were already laid bare to me.

When the girl woke up twenty minutes later, a refreshing smile bloomed on her lips right away. Her sleep was short enough that it could only be called a short rest or a nap.

Well. That’s fine too. I was thinking of wiping off her body and putting her clothes back on before carrying her back to the other room. Now, I could carry her to the bathroom for us to take a bath instead.

I already dipped inside with Akane earlier but after sweating from having sex, joining Edel inside was in order. Moreover, the girl remained clinging to me as though afraid that I would leave her behind.

That’s why there’s no other way but to join her. We washed each other and dipped in the bathtub together.

Obviously, we did more than just bathing together. Edel tried relieving me using her hands and mouth upon seeing my erection. On the other hand, I gave her a whole-body massage but it eventually focused on that part of hers, soothing the soreness even just a bit.

And inside the tub, instead of leaning her back against me, the girl straddled me once more. Furthermore, feeling my erection still standing up proudly, Edel sat down on it, letting me penetrate her for the second time tonight.

At first, she made a lousy excuse that she was just trying to familiarize herself with the sensation more. Given how pleasurable that was, it didn’t take long for the bathwater to create waves as the two of us began moving our hips.

… In this way, our night got extended once more.

"Ruki... I'm happy. I’m happy to become one with you."

We’ve finished our bath and we’re now back in our bedroom with Akane and Haruko still sleeping on our sides.

Still living the koala dream, the girl who got spent for the second time remained settled on top of me. It’s like she already claimed the inside of my embrace as hers. For tonight.

"I’m glad to hear that, Edel. And honestly, I’m also glad to be favored by you. Let me continue taking care of you."

"Of course, Ruki. Please do so… Even when my fear and trauma get resolved in the future, please continue taking care of me… Uhm… Ruki will always be special to me."

Although Edel was still beet red from the residual heat of the bath as well as our current situation, it's still noticeable how she flared up while saying all that...

A moment later, the girl continued, "Y-you know, you're always making my heart race on top of being the most comfortable place to be at… That’s why I decided, Ruki. I will not just let you take care of me. I will also begin doing the same for you. Remember, I'm still supposed to be the older one, let this big sister show it in the following days."

This girl… Big sister, huh? Was she clueless or she just didn’t understand it?

Every word she just said was more or less a confession of her love for me…

Well, it’s better this way. At least she’s now more vocal with her thoughts rather than just being a silent koala. And honestly, I love her more this way.

“Mhm… I’ll look forward to that, Edel. Let’s take care of each other from now on.” I put on my best smile and she returned it with her most beautiful one.

Ending it with another kiss, Edel then fell asleep not long after.

It’s a long night but with everything that happened, it’s more than just satisfying…

“What do you girls think?”

I intentionally voiced that question. With Edel already snoring peacefully, it’s directed to the two girls faking their sleep.

“Husband, you know it’s bad manners to do that.”

“What is?”

“Waking us up after you finished exchanging sweet words with another woman. Moreover, she’s still there on top of you.” Although she said that, Akane inched closer to me and stretched my arm to use as a pillow.

“No, it’s not that, Akane. He acted like he didn’t notice us awake and let us hear him being intimate with another woman. Normally, a guy will be beheaded by just talking to another woman. Do we have to prepare a guillotine now?”

Likewise, Haruko copied Akane and used my other arm as her pillow.

With the two having playful smiles on their lips, they already guessed what exactly happened.

Although I could swear that they were truly asleep when we left this room, they probably woke up sometime after that.

“Alright. Don’t try to scare me with that… You know I’m always at your mercy. But Edel… she’s just too lovely that –”

“Husband, are you going to brag about your new woman? Do you want to be hanged?” Akane was only acting. It’s too obvious because she’s laughing even at this moment.

“Akane, you can’t do that. You love Ruki too much. And I for sure won’t be able to behead him… We’re as hopeless as he is.” And there’s no need to argue, Haruko was the same. “Hubby, thank you. Take care of Edel as you said… Though that’s probably useless to say again since we know you’re going to do that. You already proved it to everyone, after all.”

“No. I should be the one thanking you, Haruko. And you too, Akane. For staying with me. For accepting me. For everything…”

Hearing all that, the two girls caressed my cheeks before tapping them lightly.

“There you go being emotional again. Just kiss us goodnight husband.”

“I say, he’s cuter like this, Akane… Anyway, kiss us and let’s sleep. We can talk more tomorrow.”

“He’s always handsome in my eyes though?” Akane answered in a matter-of-factly way.

“Right. You’re like that. No one will be more handsome than Ruki to you.”

“Yes! Aren’t you the same?”

“Nope. I saw him as a bold junior at first. Who would’ve thought, right?” Haruko shrugged and leered at me.

“Yet, you got done in by a junior. Some Student Council President you are.” Akane smirked triumphantly.

“Oh, really? You can say the same to Shizu. We both got done in by a junior. A naughty junior.”

The two then laughed in concert. Their eyes clearly showed how amused they were. They successfully stopped me from being emotional but their topic was turning in a different direction…
