Stealing Spree-Novel

'Halfway' yet this woman was already monopolizing my lap as if it's her rightful throne.

When I pointed that out, she simply stuck her tongue and continued enjoying being this close to me. No. She edged even closer that the remaining position she had yet to do was straddling me.

Yep. This girl was definitely something else. Not that I hated it. As a self-aware pervert, the sensation brought about by her seemingly delicate yet well-built body and her round, squishy buttocks were enough to tickle my continuously growing desire for her.

Furthermore, upon closer look, even if the sense of embarrassment surfaced in her mind, she'd just push it down and continue with this. She won't stop her face from turning red and instead, flaunt it for me to see.

Unlike most girls who'd be almost out of commission from the slightest touch of someone they like, she'd rather face it all and be upfront about it.

Let's call that bravery but at the same time, transparency. Because she probably thought that she was already late in the race, she wouldn't hide everything from me and hit me with her raw feelings right in the gut or in my face.

Yet, she seemed so defenseless this time. But thinking about it, this was probably how much she trusted my character. We might've been a little out of control in our first meeting but this time, we had this consensus that put both of us to focus more on deepening our understanding of one another.

That's why saying I'm already halfway to making her fall in love was just like a checkpoint yet it's a lot closer to the goal than anything else. Perhaps, if I ask her out this time, she won't reject me. However, that will probably take away the excitement that she's deriving from our current situation.

One thing I am certain of is… Mutsumi really hopes to experience something as romantic as being courted. This is her maiden heart talking.

Upon realizing all that, my desire for her was nagging me to just spoil her and forget about other things at this moment. We only have limited time, after all. I have to go back to the classroom and she has to leave soon. As for when we can meet again, that's still up in the air.

Back to the present, Mutsumi-senpai soon reacted to my declaration. It took her half a minute to do so but it was because she couldn't contain her grin as well as the crimson hue that quickly occupied her face and neck. Her body shook in happiness from hearing my words that she was probably tempted to just say those three magical words.

She held it in though. And while she threw her arms around me even tighter than before, she murmured sweetly directly to my ears.

"Ruki, you're not good for my heart... What would you do if I collapsed from being too excited by what you said? Huuhh…"

"Let's see. Maybe I'll perform CPR to revive you." Taking her words literally, I playfully answered her while letting my hand run from her back to hold her head. With my fingers slipping behind her ear, I gradually lifted her face to stare at me directly. Then, with my thumb caressing her cheek, I watched the girl parting her lips slightly as if she were ready to receive the treatment.

"Do you even know that procedure, Ruki?" With a sweet giggle which further emphasized her current cuteness, Mutsumi-senpai replied.

"Somewhat. I read about it on the internet when I was filling my head with handy skills during the time my desire ran rampant. I hinged it on the possibility that I might need those skills to impress my target, no? Unfortunately, I have zero practice in performing CPR."

Uh. Yeah. I remembered doing all that before. I considered every possibility so… I also picked up some survival skills like lighting a fire from scratch or tying proper knots on ropes. Although I had actually never used those skills when dealing with my previous targets, the skills remained stored in my head.The sourcᴇ of this content is NoᴠelFɪre.net

Upon hearing that, Mutsumi-senpai's giggles transformed into a peal of laughter, "Pffthaha. What the hell was that? No. I should say… Just what I should expect from you. You didn't leave a stone unturned. You're the embodiment of preparation. I love it, Ruki. I love to hear more about you…"

Embodiment of preparation? I doubt that's the case. I also missed or neglected a lot of things, after all. For example, my common sense. Thankfully, I now have Chii and the other girls educating me about it.

For the next few minutes, the clubroom became filled with our laughter. Naturally, having been taught by Izumi-senpai how important it is to enjoy things together, I already assimilated it into my personality.

While I could still fall on acting considerate to see them happy and content with our situation, I wouldn't miss the opportunity to live in the moment with them.

"It's really a great choice to come running here right away. Otherwise, I will regret not being able to bond with you, Mutsumi-senpai."

"No. I should've done this earlier. I can't believe I waited for a week before deciding to appear before you again… Haru-chan told me that I'm wasting my chances and… she was right. But I know you're not someone with a lot of free time so…"

"Well, I won't deny that. But you know, senpai. If it's you, I doubt I will pass up on every opportunity. I'm thankful for the consideration you and the other girls are showing to me but for someone as greedy as I am, I will surely not run away even if all of you come down to me all at once."

"Gee. Think before you talk, Ruki. I believe everyone's consideration is weighed for everyone's convenience as well. No matter how dedicated you make yourself to be, it will just overwhelm you if all of your girls – including me – stopped pulling any breaks. No. It will also overwhelm us. It will just be pure chaos. Remember, everyone wants a piece of you but to continue maintaining the harmony of your complex relationship, there needs to be an unwritten consensus. Everyone understands that, including you."

Yep. She's not wrong on that… That's also why Hana cannot simply admit defeat, after all.

"Mhm. I have been enlightened. But…"

"You're still not done with that?"

"Of course… What am I if not stubborn? Anyway, what I'm trying to say is… If senpai wants to see me or if it's the other way around, we should stop walking on eggshells. It's fine to be straightforward about it. Even if we can't make it on a certain day, there's an infinite tomorrow waiting for us. Look at us. It's even possible for us to be here today despite the short notice."

"Infinite, you say? Are we immortal now? But I understand what you're trying to say… You're really… Uhm. How should I say this? Extraordinary."

"I know. I heard that a lot."

"Oh really? Good for you."

Mutsumi-senpai laughed once again and this time, her affection for me became more pronounced. As though she removed the limiter that she placed on herself, the girl held my head between her palms, locking my gaze with hers.

Without the use of words, our eyes communicated conveying the raw emotion we have for each other.

A moment later, our eyes closed and the distance between our faces disappeared. Her soft lips overlapped with mine and our heartbeats that seemingly screamed for each other melded into one rhythmic melody.

While this kiss was softer and tamer than the first one that we shared last week, our mutual affection and accompanying emotion was properly conveyed this time. The excitement was just a part of it. There's also the longing and the satisfaction.

Her longing answered the uncertainty in her mind whether I was just as interested in her and the satisfaction washed away whatever worry she had left for taking this path that the other girls had already trodden on.

After savoring that one kiss… Mutsumi-senpai and I laughed and teased each other. Pouring in what I held back earlier, she naturally lost to it.

But to make up for it, I initiated the second one… and this time, it's no different than last week.

Before I knew it, I was already carrying her again to the other room and Mutsumi-senpai wrapped her legs around me, not wanting to break the deep and intimate connection of our lips and tongues.

I still have the gate key to give to her but I guess… that can wait until later.
