Stealing Spree

Chapter 2437  Start Over

On our return to her room, Hitomi was already standing by the door. She glanced at us with her usual unreadable expression before nodding slightly and stepping aside.

"Otoha-sama, Ruki-sama."

She tried to bow but Otoha and I were quick to our feet and stopped her from doing it.

"Please don't do that, Hitomi-nee," Otoha then looked at me, asking me to back her up.

"Mhm. She's being stubborn again. What do you think, Otoha? Shall we bring her in with us?" I playfully said as I grabbed Hitomi's hand, pulling her into a gentle hug with her mistress.

Otoha giggled, "But Ruki, she's not exactly... dressed for bed."

"So am I. We're both in suits."

Hitomi's cheeks gradually turned to a lighter shade of red as she tried to wriggle off my hold. She's really adorable when she's acting like this. Pretending she was not affected when her heart had already started racing in her chest

"Okay! Let's go in before someone else sees us here." Otoha moved to Hitomi's other side, taking her by the arm and pulling her into the room.

As the three of us entered, Otoha didn't waste a moment to drag Hitomi to her bed.

Looking at its state, it was still as disheveled as we left it earlier.

"Otoha-sama, this is..." Hitomi began to protest, but her voice trailed off as Otoha pushed her onto the bed.

She didn't resist, most likely as she was trying to keep up appearances. Her duty as Otoha's chauffeur and bodyguard was still prevailing.

Or is it?

Rather than look at Otoha, her gaze shifted towards me who stood by the side, watching them with a meaningful smile. I knew she was expecting me to smoothen things out or tell Otoha not to push too much but I remained silent, enjoying the spectacle unfolding before my eyes.

"Hitomi-nee... I can tell you and Ruki spent some quality time together before coming here. You left your unique smell on this," Otoha then spread open my coat that she had been carrying ever since we left the room earlier.

No wonder... I thought she was just feeling cold earlier when I was talking with her brother but she's actually smelling it, identifying the fragrance left on it like a bloodhound on a scent trail.

Hitomi's eyes grew wide and she turned to look at me, a silent plea for rescue. But I just winked at her, enjoying how the demure young lady was slowly breaking down her barriers.

"Otoha-sama, it's not what you think!" Hitomi stuttered, trying to explain herself as she sat up straight on the bed.

Seeing how she's acting, Otoha couldn't help but sweetly giggle. It was always difficult for her to make Hitomi break out of her role, after all. She's always sticking to her duty as her protector.

"You need not lie, Hitomi-nee. I'm not even mad. I just want you to be honest. Ruki will stay here tonight and sleep here with me. Don't you want to join us?" Otoha asked, her tone a blend of teasing and genuine curiosity.

Somehow, she's really pushing on this. I guess this was one of the rare moments where Otoha was acting unbridled. Hitomi, on the other hand, looked like a deer caught in the headlights.

Seeing that Hitomi might really break down if this continues, I decided to step in, hugging Otoha from behind. "Alright. Let's not push Hitomi if she's not comfortable with it. Won't it be awkward for both of you tomorrow?"

Otoha leaned back against me, pouting. "But Ruki, you also like to sleep here with her, right? I'm just... trying to make her more honest."

"Mhm... I do like the idea of that. Sleeping in the same bed as both of you. However, it should be something that Hitomi also decides for herself. Otherwise, it won't feel right." I whispered into Otoha's ear, giving her a gentle nudge.

The girl squirmed a bit, tickled by my breath.

As for Hitomi, she's averting her gaze, hiding the redness creeping up on her cheeks. Clearly, she's not that opposed to the idea but she was still being held by her role.

"Hitomi, if you're uncomfortable sleeping with us then... why not just stay with us for a while? It's not like we still have things we have to hide from each other. Of course, you can always refuse if it's uncomfortable."

"It's not uncomfortable for me, Ruki," Otoha interjected with a grin. It's her attempt to lighten the mood.

After what felt like an eternity of silence, Hitomi finally spoke, her voice soft and slightly trembling. "I... I will stay with you both. But I will leave later. It is inappropriate for me to sleep in the same bed as Otoha-sama in this mansion..."

"Alright. That's good enough. What do you think, Otoha?"

"Un. I don't mind. I also understand the underlying meaning of that last part, Ruki. If we sleep at your house next, Hitomi won't feel uncomfortable if the three of us sleep in the same bed."

"Mhm. Exactly. Let's plan for that next time... Tonight... Let's just enjoy our moment."

Hitomi identified her apprehension clearly. It's the fact that it's Otoha's room inside the Kaneko Mansion. It was a huge hurdle to leap over. We couldn't push it or it would probably feel so awkward for Hitomi.

Soon after that, I climbed up into the bed, pulling both Otoha and Hitomi.

The former happily snuggled on my right while the latter apprehensively clung to my left. My arms wrapped around them, holding them as close to me as possible.

Gradually, the mood earlier slowly crept back in, Otoha tugged at my tie, loosening it. Watching it from her side, Hitomi looked up at me, her hand moving down from my chest to my stomach before sliding it to my waist, hugging me.

I leaned down to answer Otoha's call for a kiss while Hitomi started kissing my neck.

"Are we picking up from where we left off earlier, Ruki?"

"No. We're starting over." I swiftly answered as I moved my hand from their back to the squishy pair. Both of them reacted the same way.

Hitomi instinctively bit the part of my neck she was kissing while Otoha sweetly giggled as she bit on my lips.

Following that, she whispered, "You're right. This isn't where we left off... We have to start over now that Hitomi-nee is with us."

"Mhm... I'll be at your mercy. Let's just hope no one interrupts us again."

"Don't jinx it, Ruki." Otoha pouted again as she finally took my tie off. Hitomi, who remained silent, pulled it off of me and then dropped it to the side.

The two women then stared at each other, a silent communication happening between them. And soon, the two of them make their move.

Hitomi focused on unbuttoning my shirt while Otoha's hand traveled down to my pants, unbuckling my belt and dropping it to the side as well without breaking our kiss.

Look at them, it hasn't been long since one of them was convincing the other to stay but before I knew it, they'd silently divided their role on how to deal with me.

What can I do though? I can't help but let them do what they want... I'll mount my counterattack later.
