Stealing Spree-Novel

Half an hour of overflowing passion later where the two of us satisfied each other in more ways than one, I carried the still-recovering Ririka on my back as we went down to join Akane and Yae downstairs.

My neck kinda stings because of her usual bite mark that would be left behind whenever I would be able to make her climax. There were at least three this time but they were all in the same spot.

It's not a problem anyway. The two girls wouldn't mind it and Ririka brought the skin-colored band-aids she always used to cover her bite marks on me. I could use that tomorrow.

As for why I am carrying her down instead of letting her rest, she insisted on it. Or she asked me to do so.

The girl believed that she might fall asleep from exhaustion and she didn't want to miss me putting on the costume she painstakingly and wholeheartedly sewed and designed for me.

Ah. There's another point she raised. She wanted to experience the wonderful feeling of leaning on my back once again. Upon hearing that, I instantly got convinced. Furthermore, she's still maximizing our time together. As her boyfriend, I'm more than ready to serve my girl. I'm the biggest simp, after all.

That aside, it has really been a while since I carried her on my back.

In the past, I often did this for her whenever I was going to pick her up from an event or her part-time job in that maid café. Her feet were always strained from standing and moving back and forth. Most of the time, she'd fall asleep while still relishing the feeling of my back and being carried by me.

Whenever I sensed that, I would pick a nearby park or somewhere with minimal noise to not disturb her much-needed rest. Instead of carrying her to the station where it was loud and chaotic, I would wait for her to wake up. That way, she'd feel refreshed before going home.

Uh… Now that I remembered that, I was really acting like a boyfriend there, huh? And yet, I never even considered that at all. What a broken idiot.

As I was about to take the first step down our stairs, the girl on my back sweetly giggled once again as she climbed up, anchoring her chin on my shoulder.

Then, with a meaningful smile on her lips, she reminiscently pointed, "Hmm? Is that what I think it is, Ruki? I sensed that you're recalling those previous times you carried me on your back…"

Yep. She once again unleashed her ability to know what I'm thinking. It's not just me being obvious anymore.

Maybe this was the result of the resonance of our feelings. No matter how cringe or unscientific it was, I could only fall on that to explain why my girls were seemingly reading my thoughts or even the subtle surges of my emotions.

Akane's radar might also even fall on that, right?

Well, exaggeration or not, she's still correct in her guess.

"Ririka, since when did you develop your psychic powers?" I jokingly answered which earned me a poke on my cheek as I resumed going down the stairs, "But yes, I remember those times. The first time was when that guy didn't show up right? You're not only physically tired but also emotionally too."

Yeah. That's the first instance. I was during the time when I had already expressed my desire to steal her. The time when I would go to their clubroom and spend time hugging her while she worked on her cosplay ideas.

Ririka nodded and recalled that event up to its minute details. "Un. He said he was going to visit me at my part-time job but at the last minute, he said he had something to do. And you're also a psychic back then, appearing right when I needed someone… You let me jump on your back and let me get some rest in that park. When I woke up, you handed me a plastic bag from the convenience store containing a drink and an onigiri, saying I should energize myself."

I remembered that when I entered the convenience store with the girl on my back, I asked the clerk to turn off the loud music. She was suspicious of me at first but when I told her that Ririka was just exhausted from her part-time job, she assisted me in getting what the girl needed.

The other customers also followed along, not daring to make a sound for fear that the girl would wake up.

It's actually a miracle that they easily accepted my explanation back then.

Was it her comfortable expression? I had no idea. Thinking about it now, it's really a mystery.

"Well, I only did what I had to do for the girl I wanted to steal."

"Yeah, right. No one would put that much effort into someone you just wanted to steal. You held all my weaknesses yet you never used them to threaten me into giving in to you. Even if you ask someone else, your way was nothing short of making me fall in love with you." Ririka poked my cheek again. Her breathing had started to be regulated as if reminiscing about that small event in our past was enough to refill her spent stamina in bed. "I remembered that he called me that night but I never answered. Instead, I thought of you instead… I had never gotten the chance to tell you about that."

Something like that happened, huh? But I know, even if she told me about it, I'd probably not put importance on it. That's how much of a dense idiot I was.

"Really? Now I want to hear all your thoughts that particular night. That must be the day you started falling for me."

Yeah. I might be wrong to think that she started falling for me during that night in their clubroom where we almost did it.

"Maybe? We're already close that time. I was just clinging to that guy since he was my first boyfriend and someone who shared the same hobby, hoping that he would make me feel important again. But it's you who eventually made me feel like that. Unfortunately, you never realized it back then."

"Well, an idiot will always be an idiot. That's why I'll continue making up for everything that I missed."

Soon enough, we reached the last step of the stairs. The two of us shared a kiss as I made my way to the living room.

Since the distance wasn't really that significant, I already heard the girls' voices, conversing with each other.

In the kitchen, I noticed that the tea Akane made was still on the electric heater, keeping it warm there. As for the costume, Yae already neatly laid the different pieces out on one single sofa, just waiting for me to put it on.

The TV was also on. However, rather than focusing on the program being shown in it, they're really engaged in their lively conversation. Their topic? It's obvious, it's about me or things related to me.

And before Akane's radar worked to see us approaching, they were just finishing up with the topic of the present she gave me earlier as well as the challenge that we agreed upon.

Yae, who's also a little knowledgeable and experienced in that sport, then expressed her desire to join the match and beat me in the same game. But because she had no tennis racket of her own, she asked Akane to also accompany her tomorrow to buy one.

Looks like it might turn into a Me against Everyone as the girl on my back also suddenly got funneled with enthusiasm as she perked her ears and stared at me with bright, encouraging eyes.New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net

In any case, just with what I heard and the way they reacted to it, even I wouldn't be able to refute how much they love me. Even if I'm not around, they're not running out of topics. And as long as it's about me, they won't hesitate to join in.

Perhaps tomorrow, I'd also hear Nami, Satsuki, and the others talking about it. It would definitely not be a secret to their group chat, right?

"Husband, you're here." Like I expected, Akane's head soon turned to me, welcoming us back to the living room. As for Yae, the girl quickly ran up to me, dragging me with them.

And with this, our wonderful night continues…
