Stealing Spree

Chapter 2435  Otoha's Room

"It's been a while since I stepped foot in here," I said as the door closed behind us. As always, Otoha's room was cozier due to the stuffed toys she collected over the years. More than half of it was gifted by me. Most were won from the crane games at the arcades that we visited but there were a few like a life-sized teddy bear that I got her during our festival visit. There are also a few that I bought from shops that I passed by before. I'd buy anything that would bring the tiniest sparkle of joy in her eyes.

Of course, I was oblivious to the effect of it on her back then. All I cared about was my desire to steal her from her ex-fiance.

"Yes... It didn't change a lot... Everything you gifted me is still here." She walked over to her bedside where the huge teddy bear was sitting proudly with a shinai hung around its hips, almost like a silent guardian of her personal sanctuary.

I walked towards it and playfully said, "Alright, Soldier, you're off duty tonight. It's my turn to protect her."

Otoha sweetly giggled as she said, "You're so silly, Ruki."

"Why is it silly? I'm jealous of this guy. He's always with you here."

"I imagine him as you, but fluffier," Otoha quipped, her giggle turning into a warm chuckle. "But, I'd rather have the real you here."

Upon saying that, she jumped towards and the two of us collapsed on the bed, the giant teddy bear swaying from where it was seated but it ultimately remained on its spot.

I pulled up Otoha, completely enclosing her in my arms before combing her hair with my fingers.

"Ruki... You said it. You're on duty to watch over me tonight. You're not allowed to go home."

With her face buried in my chest, Otoha's voice became so muffled that it came out a little incoherent. But knowing my girl, I could just correct it in my head.

"That's the plan. But what if your father or mother kicks me out?" I replied while I continued stroking her hair and giving her the comfort that I had been inadequately providing lately.

Otoha lifted her head to look at me with a determined gaze, "They won't. Not if I say you're staying."

"Then that settles it. But in the event they still kick me out regardless of your wish... just keep your door open. It'll be another opportunity to use that path and sneak into your room."

Just like what I said to Hitomi earlier, no one's going to stop us tonight.

Otoha's eyes twinkled with mischief as she nodded, her cheeks flushed a deeper shade of pink. "I'll also make sure to leave the window unlocked for you, just in case."

"Mhm. Now what are we going to do? Do we wait for Hitomi or..."

I trailed my voice there as I lifted her head, dropping a kiss on her forehead.

"More, Ruki." Otoha's eyes shone with anticipation as she leaned in, her soft voice a gentle demand. "I miss all this. It's like another dream come true to have you back in my room."

"What does my Otoha want then? Tell me. Tonight, I'm a genie who will grant all of your wishes." I kissed her nose this time but the girl caught my hand stroking her hair, bringing it to her cheek.

"I want a proper kiss."

"How proper do you want it to be?" I asked as I started caressing her cheek in lips while the two of us gradually moved further up her bed. My nose was already filled with her fragrance, both from her hair and the one she left behind on the bed.

"Proper... and a little bit naughty," Otoha whispered back, her eyes closing slightly as she let her tongue peek out, licking her lips and my thumb that was caressing them.

"Your wish is my command."

My arm hooked around her back, pulling her up further, aligning her lips with mine. As I did that, Otoha started sucking on my thumb.

She only let it go to give way to my lips.

Our 'proper' kiss started with her tongue getting caught by my lips. I sucked on it and It tasted like the chocolate mousse she baked as our dessert tonight.

Otoha's eyes fluttered shut as she let me continue with it, teasing her tongue with my own. Then, I rolled us over, so I was on top of her.

At this, the girl responded with her hand moving over to my head, locking us deeper in our 'proper' kiss.

Tongues entangled and lips pressed together in a passionate dance, I felt the tension of the evening melt away. The unpleasantness from her mother's attempt to embarrass me faded into oblivion.

At the moment, there's only Otoha in my head.

Gripping my shirt tightly, her body arched slightly as we settled into a more heated mood.

Her breath was sweet, and the soft moans escaping her were soothingly erotic. Once I noticed she was running out of breath to hold the kiss, I took the opportunity to explore her neck, planting kisses along her collarbone. Otoha's fingers traced my spine before she tugged at the coat of my suit, taking it off of me.

"Let me get you comfortable." Otoha sweetly whispered, her fingers sliding across my scalp as she guided me to her sensitive spots.

As I moved down from her collarbone, her light-orange dress became my next target. I carefully pulled on the strings, sliding it off of her shoulder before peeling it down to reveal her milky-white skin.

"Mhm. No matter how many times I see this, I'll always feel lovestruck with your body."

"Pfft. Lovestruck? You don't dare to say it back then. You kept those words safely locked in your head."

"Well, I was an idiot, after all. Can my Otoha forgive me?"

"I suppose so," Otoha replied with a coy smile, her voice a sweet melody that filled the room. "But I expect you to make it up to me, Ruki."

Upon saying that our lips met again but my hand began caressing her side and eventually cupping her exquisite mound.

However, just as we were about to give in further to our desire for each other, a gentle knock echoed from her door.

It wasn't Hitomi because that woman would probably call out instead of knocking, announcing her return.

Of course, we could've ignored it but Otoha and I looked at each other, our eyes meeting in understanding.

"It must be Hide-niisan, Ruki. I think you should talk to him first."

"Are you sure? I can pretend I'm already asleep next to you though."

"That would be a great idea. But it seems he wants to talk to you about something important. Maybe related to Grandpa or the Onoda Clan from that prefecture."

"I see. Too bad. Just as when I can finally taste my Otoha again."

"Pervert Ruki... Didn't you just taste me yesterday?"

"That was that. This is this." I impishly retorted before kissing her again and this time, I quickly helped pull the strings of her dress back, fixing it. "Alright, let me deal with your brother first."

I stood up from the bed but Otoha also followed suit, grabbing my coat that she took off.

"Let me go with you... He won't mind if I listen in. Besides, I have to keep my eye on you to prevent my mother from kicking you out sneakily."

"Alright, let's give him another reminder of how clingy his sister can be."

"Mou... I'm not clingy. I'm just... attentive," Otoha said, sticking her tongue out playfully as she hugged my arm. I couldn't help but chuckle at her adorable expression.

We walked towards the door together, Otoha's arm still looped in mine. She was a vision of grace, even in her slightly rumpled state. I, on the other hand, had to make sure my own desires weren't too apparent.

As the door creaked open, there indeed stood Hidekazu, looking as stoic as ever. His eyes flicked to Otoha, then back to me, and the slightest uptick of his eyebrow was the only indication that he'd noticed anything amiss.

"Sorry for the interruption, you two. May I talk to you now, Onoda?"

"Sure, Onii-san. Otoha will join us. Is it fine?"

"Looking at her, it's impossible to peel her off of you. It's not sensitive information so it's fine."

With that, the three of us walked away from the door and into the hallway, leaving the warm embrace of Otoha's room behind.

Hidekazu led us to a more private area of the mansion before turning to me and starting with, "This relates to your family, Onoda. As you may know already, I'm working on a deal with them. They gave me a condition. Convince you to return there to visit your grandparents."

Huh? That's a very specific condition. And why me and not my parents? And why are they asking someone like Hidekazu to convince me? Do they know about my connection to Otoha? There's a boatload of questions that suddenly popped with that and I couldn't even begin to imagine the answer to all of them.
