Stealing Spree
chapter-1868

I don’t know how long we stayed in that position but neither of us uttered a word for a while. I was guilty for making her feel jealous but simple words wouldn't be enough to comfort her, right? And that's why I opted to adopt a wait-and-see approach and act according to it.

Unfortunately, I still have the trait of not being able to stand seeing my girls feeling down.

I threw that initial approach into the bin and just acted how I always am. Utterly shameless.

Lifting my arms and enclosing them around her, I reciprocated Eguchi-sensei's embrace. Then, holding her just as close to me where distance was virtually nonexistent between us anymore.

Feeling the warmth and comfort spreading through our bodies, I gradually moved us from that position to the middle of the room.

Eventually, we approached the long couch similar to the one inside Sara’s cabin. Dropping my ass down there, I pulled her down with me and placed her on my lap.

With my head still partly buried in her chest, Eguchi-sensei’s embrace tightened around me as she didn’t resist that pull. Following that, as her weight transferred on me along with the soft feeling of her behind, she lifted her legs, wrapping them around me.

In a way, we went from a simple affectionate embrace to a very intimate one. Nevertheless, my perverted thoughts were fully suppressed at the moment.

“Ryouko-san.” With my arms supporting her back, I started.

I know. My voice probably sounded like shit. I wanted to apologize for making her jealous but at the same time, I feel like saying those words might just pull our mood lower than it already is.

While it's kind of fun to tease her for reaction, I was late to realize how shitty it must have been for her.

She dragged me here to convey that but what I got in instead was her warm embrace

Isn't she wonderful? Do I really deserve to be loved by her?

Ugh. Alright. I should stop self-deprecating. I started this mess. It's my responsibility to straighten it up, right?

I lifted my head off of her pleasant softness. I haven't seen her face ever since we entered this cabin. I expected her to look upset but what welcomed my eyes was her gentle smile and while she was looking at me filled with her overflowing affection.

“Do you think I will be upset? As expected of you, Onoda-kun.” As though she had read my mind, Eguchi-sensei teasingly said. “I did feel jealous but that's all. I won't change my mood completely just because you talked to another girl.”

Moving her hand from the back of my head to my cheek, she cupped it within her palm before lowering her head to kiss me.

It was our first kiss of the day and honestly, it tasted so sweet I asked for seconds which she willingly gave me.

For her to initiate it, she truly slipped into being my Ryouko-san. Ignoring whatever was happening outside, she removed the constraints of being a teacher that held herself back.

“Looks like I got read perfectly by you, Ryouko-san. What should I do? I still feel bad for letting it happen.”

“Onoda-kun, stop acting this adorable, okay? I won't be able to hold back. I also acted impulsively there. We won't be here at all if that's not the case.”

Eguchi-sensei sweetly chuckled which ended with a rather guilty smile. She's probably thinking about Shio who we left behind. It's quite clear that she was supposed to bring me somewhere else but instead, we ended up here.

And now, she has me all to herself.

“Then… is it our fault?”

Eguchi-sensei curled her brows and tilted her head a little in a swift response, “Why does it have to be a fault, Onoda-kun?”

Ah. She's right. Why am I fixated on taking responsibility when she's here basically drilling into me so that I shouldn't trouble myself with it? Jealous or not, she hadn't been upset with me at all. It dissipated right away when she put me in her embrace right after entering this cabin.

Is it my stubbornness? Perhaps.

Ugh. Sometimes, I couldn't help but want to punch myself for acting idiotically like this. Do I really have to be reminded by them before I set my mind straight?

But then again, I did tell them how slow I was at times and asked them to straighten me up.

This was the same case…

Instead of feeling remorseful, I'm now grateful for this lovely woman…

“Say something, Onoda-kun. Or kiss me if you want to. Don't just stare at me like you're looking at someone you owe a debt of gratitude. Shouldn't I be the one to feel that way?”

Perhaps finding it awkward that I became silent while heatedly staring at her, Eguchi-sensei tapped my shoulder and squeezed my face between her palms.

Like this, she's acting more and more like my doting girlfriend, reprimanding her silly boyfriend.

And with our current situation where there's practically no distance between us, I couldn't help but feel so loved by her.

“Now, you're grinning. Should I use my womanly charms to you again to bring your head back to the present?” Eguchi-sensei pouted at me. Her hands then moved to the back of my head, grasping a part of my hair. While holding my face upright, she slowly straightened her back, putting her bountiful chest just beneath my chin.

Seeing as I was still grinning at her, she buried my face in her pleasant softness again.

Like everyone else, she's not wearing a tight skirt or a buttoned-up office shirt as her outfit. She's in her usual track pants and a t-shirt, loose enough not to constrict her pair or mountains. Additionally, given that I failed to sense roughness beneath her shirt, she's wearing a sports bra for ease of movement. Due to that, the experience of being buried in her chest was more heavenly than normal. It's only second to being buried in it directly.

And well, that pleasant sensation successfully brought my head back to the present.

I got pulled out of my overthinking, making my whole body react in place.

In response to this, my arms moved from her back to her waist, grasping her curved figure, and caressing her gently.

“Sorry, Ryouko-san. I fell into overthinking there for a moment.”

I lifted my head momentarily to reply to her before plunging back to her softness.

Inhaling her fragrance and enjoying the warmth of her body, I continued with a muffled voice, “You’re right. We accepted it and moved on. No one was at fault.”

Eguchi-sensei’s amused laughter rang out before resuming ruffling my hair and doting on me.

“Un. I’m also fond of this side of you, Onoda-kun. Not the super reliable boy who changed my world but a simple guy who can also appear a little vulnerable. How I wish I could have you all to myself today…”

“Should I visit you later?”

“No. You shouldn't take that risk. One excuse is fine but if it gets repeated, it'll become suspicious. Our only option is this moment… Onoda-kun. Before Kinoshita-sensei looked for us here, can we…?”

Even without her words, the intention behind it was already implied and I understood it completely.

She thought it was more risky if I sneak in here to visit her without reason. Furthermore, making an excuse would also not hold up if someone pried into it. It would just put us in unnecessary trouble if they started suspecting something.

And that's why Eguchi-sensei stopped looking ahead and focused solely on the present.

What do I think of it?

Obviously, even though I could argue about my ability to sneak in, I'm in favor of her reasoning. It's still uncertain, after all. I could be caught without even reaching her and that would be a wasted attempt.

But now… nothing is holding us back.
