Stealing Spree
chapter-1955

The kiss wasn't done on impulse. It was within the range of what I prepared for Otsuka-senpai in this situation. Since the least that could happen regarding her curiosity was her touching me or vice versa, a kiss was nothing.

My girls do put more romantic importance on kisses. They get jealous if I kiss someone else. For example, back during Hina’s birthday. Everything else that we did was fine for her but she expressed her jealousy when I started kissing Kazuha-nee.

As much as possible, I would prevent that from happening but personally, a kiss is just at the same level as hugging them or holding their hands. Maybe my values became skewed because I’m confident about being able to kiss someone without getting through a mental dilemma.

Unfortunately, it’s not easy for me to change that. Although not quite at the same level of difficulty as capping my desire, it was difficult nonetheless.

In any case, it’s not like I would just go and kiss anyone. I even held back with Mio and Marika. Moreover, I reminded Misaki what it means to kiss someone.

This time, I believe Otsuka-senpai doesn’t mind having all of her firsts eventually get taken by me.

But even if that’s the case, I also hadn't expected her to accept it without questioning whether it was the right thing or not.

At this moment, that connection between our lips had yet to end. The kiss that should’ve ended with only a few seconds of lips-to-lips contact escalated to a more intimate one.

How did that happen?

Because Otsuka-senpai herself prevented me from pulling my head back. Even if she lacked the experience, the girl didn’t care about it. All that was in her head was her eagerness to prolong what we’d started. She eagerly followed my movements regardless of what I did. When my tongue became involved, she opened her mouth voluntarily, inviting me in. And from there, Otsuka-senpai entwined her tongue with mine, savoring each other’s taste. At one point, she tried to reverse it by licking my lips and sticking her tongue in my mouth, giving me the opportunity to suck on her instead.

Admittedly, I also got taken in by the moment. I brought her to my lap and enclosed her in my embrace. And in response to that Otsuka-senpai rested her elbows on my shoulders before wrapping my head within her slender arms.

Minutes have already passed and we only made short pauses to catch our breath and check on each other’s state. Each time, I’d see her eyes brimming with delight. It’s indicative of her pleasure as though her curiosity was continuously getting answered.

Somehow, her initial innocence had long been cast off. As a result, her curiosity flooded in to try everything she could with me when it came to the topic of kisses.

I don't know what's going on in her head right now but it's probably not that different from me. It contained nothing else but to satisfy her.

Will we be able to stop? Of course, but the question is when…

I probably won't stop unless she tells me to do so. But at the same time, I also won't do more than this unless she wishes for more.

Yep. I'm simply as drunk as her in this situation. However, in my defense, I feel like this is necessary before we can move forward.

I still have the clarity of mind, after all.

Nevertheless, this made me understand something… It's plain and simple. I'm drawn to this girl the same way she is drawn to me.

"Hnn... Is it over?"

Finally, after what felt like an eternity of internal struggle with my mind, I took the moment we paused to catch our breath to pull back just enough for her to figure out that we were stopping here.

Her dreamy eyes focused on me while her expression still looked a bit unsatisfied.

I shook my head inwardly, knowing it was half my fault that she turned like this. The overly curious girl being drunk on kisses wasn’t something I expected but here we are…

"Mhm. You did great. It was amazing, Karen." I nodded and patted her head. I ought to flick her forehead to wake her up but I couldn’t bring myself to do so. “That should do it for now. It should be enough to fool them.”

“Really?”

“Yes. What? Do you think it’s not enough? My judgment is based on how we got too into it. I only planned to give you a swift kiss but you didn’t let me pull away. If you can be that bold already, there should be no problem for us to act like a real couple in front of them.”

“I see… I understand.” Otsuka-senpai meekly nodded but looking at her expression that says a lot, she’s probably ruminating on whether all of it was merely an act or not.

Just as well, I still have her on my lap so… I once again cupped her cheek to get her to look at me directly.

While caressing her moistened lips, I put on a genuine smile to ease her mind, “Karen, tell me. Is it enough for you? I still have my promise to satisfy your curiosity, right?”

Upon hearing that, Otsuka-senpai regained the brilliance of her purple eyes. Appearing as though an idea popped up in her head, she grinned delightfully.

“Oh! You’re right… R-ruki, won’t you show me more?”

Upon saying that, her hands moved back to my shoulder before slowly sliding down to my chest. Just like the last time, she’s becoming restless with anticipation.

Really, I’d say she’s too vulnerable when it comes to her overflowing curiosity. If she hadn’t been involved with me, someone could take advantage of that trait.

But then again, am I not doing that as well? At the end of the day, I also exploited that trait of hers and now, I got her this eager to do all those things with me.

I don’t regret it but I can certainly feel guilty about it.

And with how my mindset is slowly changing because of girls, a part of me wishes to do this girl right… Learn to love her and make her fall in love with me.

Even if she declared she was not going to see me that way, it’s more than likely that she’s just setting her interest aside in favor of her boundless curiosity.

But if I stripped her off of that, maybe I’d be able to understand her better. The problem… I made a promise… As much as possible, I don’t want to just break that one – because when a precedent becomes set, I may break more promises in the future. I don’t want that to happen.

“Mhm. I can show you more. What do you want to see?” I eventually replied as I looked down at where her hands were going.

She’s already trying to feel up my chest, pressing on it as if she’s figuring out how sturdy it is.

And upon hearing my question, she grabbed my collar.

“.. This. Take this off, R-ruki. Let me take a look at your body.”

“Is that all? Didn’t you see it already?”

“I did but that’s when you’re with Kana-chan-senpai…Also, Ruki, you said I should slow down with my curiosity. We already had that promise to do it after the festival… The kiss and this are enough for today.”

Ah. This girl… And here I thought she wouldn’t even try to listen to my advice but she’s surprisingly holding up our agreement to wait for that time.

In the end, I was the one who kept on overthinking again… Ugh. That’s nothing new, right?

“Alright… Then, let me just…” As my voice trailed there, I grabbed her hands and moved them to the hem of my shirt. Rather than take it off myself, I’m giving her the chance to do it.

Understanding that, it brought her no small amount of delight. She even unconsciously kissed me before slowly but surely taking my shirt off.

For the next ten minutes or so, the curious girl went on an expedition to explore every part of my upper body but like most of my girls, she got stuck admiring my chest and abdomen.

“R-ruki… you’re sexy.”
