Stealing Spree

Chapter 2287: Taking a moment to fill our longing



Upon arriving home, Miwa-nee pointed me at Akane who was already asleep on the sofa. Her occasional stomach cramps from her period throughout the day were still taking a toll on her despite her earlier antics.

"I'll take her to our room. But Miwa-nee... wait for me. We have so much to catch up on." I whispered to Miwa-nee as I walked towards Akane, gently picking my silly wife up.

As always, her body was light and frail in my arms. Although she groaned in protest, she didn't wake up. Nonetheless, upon inhaling my scent, the girl immediately clung to my neck, snuggling closer into my embrace.

Of course, she already memorized it and no matter what happened, she'd always like clingy to me whether conscious or asleep.

Seeing that, Miwa-nee giggled before she could reply to my words.

"I know. I'm not going to disappear. Tuck her in the bed and come back here for me." She said with a pleasant smile, her longing for me still present in her eyes. Like me, she was also waiting for this opportunity.

After being away for more than two weeks, one night might not be enough for us to fill in the gap of our love. But, it was a good start. She wouldn't be going anywhere anymore. Moreover, she wasn't tied by her marriage anymore. She's now back here. Where she truly belongs. Right by my side.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

I carried Akane up to our room and laid her down gently on the bed. She didn't even bother to change out of her clothes as she was already out cold. I took off her shoes and covered her with the blanket. Her face was serene as she slept, it was like she was having a peaceful dream.

I kissed her forehead before quietly leaving the room. I checked on the room next door. The one that Miwa-nee and Minoru were going to use to check on the boy. And like Akane, he was already tucked in the bed by Miwa-nee.

As I went downstairs, I could hear the activity in the kitchen. Miwa-nee was preparing something. Probably the miraculous tea since Akane fell asleep before making it.

Right. I should let her drink a cup later so she wouldn't feel sluggish tomorrow. It's one thing to suffer from her cramps and it's another to not have a peaceful and refreshing sleep.

I walked into the kitchen and saw Miwa-nee standing by the stove, her apron tied tightly around her waist. She looked up and smiled at me, affection filling her eyes. The warmth from the stove washed over me as she stirred a pot of something that smelled heavenly.

Her lovely expression and the fragrance of the tea immediately drew me in. I moved behind her, wrapping my arms around her waist as my chin anchored on her shoulder.

"Bad Ruki. Can't you wait for me to finish here?" She lightly scolded but didn't shrug my embrace off. Instead, she leaned back into me, allowing me to feel the warmth of her body.

It's been a while for us to have this moment alone in the kitchen, and I felt a familiar sense of homecoming as I held her.

"I missed you, Miwa-nee." I sweetly murmured into her ear as I watched her cheeks flare up as she blushed.

Miwa-nee turned around, her apron getting in the way a little. She was flustered, but her eyes remained filled with her affection for me. "And I missed you too, Ruki. Now, sit down and wait. You needed this tea, right? I'll also make a snack so... wait a moment."

"Can't I help?"

"What kind of help will you offer?"

"You know... to be your assistant. Miwa-nee, your Ruki isn't always shameless, you know?" I grinned as I tightened my arm around her, slotting her further into my embrace.

"You say that but you do this instead. If that's not shameless, I don't know what is." Miwa- nee giggled as she playfully tapped my joined hands resting on her navel. Despite her feigned protest, she turned her head to me, our lips meeting for a swift kiss.

"But I've been waiting for you for so long," I murmured, not letting her go as my hands traveled down to her hips, caressing her soft skin. The kitchen was warm and cozy, and the scent of the tea filled the air, making the room feel more intimate.

"Aren't we going to talk first? Why does it feel like my Ruki cannot wait to push me down?" Miwa-nee said with a cheeky smile, her eyes twinkling with mischief. Just from that alone, I could already see the difference from before. The weight on her shoulder had already disappeared. She was now free and unbridled, allowing herself to fully express her undying affection for me.

"Well, I did miss you a lot, Miwa-nee. But okay, let's talk while we wait for the tea to be ready." I stole another kiss before taking a step back.

Although I said that, I couldn't help but feel the heat down there. What a pervert... Well, it's nothing new. Like I always said, they're simply irresistible to me.

Earlier, if not for us being in a position where we could be caught easily, I might've also done more than just kisses with Fuyu... And now, here we are, in a place where we could actually have our own private time without fear of repercussion.

"By the way, Ruki, I can see that you're still not resting properly. You have a lot on your plate and yet... you seem so inexhaustible. You're not pushing yourself, are you?" Miwa-nee looked at me with genuine concern as she set the tea kettle down. Like most of my girls, she clearly knew me better than myself, and she could easily tell when I was juggling too much.

"I swear, I'm not. Don't you see, Miwa-nee? I'm still full of stamina even at this time. If I'm pushing myself, won't I also be knocked out on the bed like Akane?" I teased her, trying to ease her concern with a laugh.

Miwa-nee narrowed her eyes as though trying to see if I was lying or not.

"Well, if that's the case, then I won't have to worry about exhausting you tonight." She said with a seductive grin. Her mature charm always hit the right notes within me.

"You're going to exhaust me, Miwa-nee?" I smirked back at her as my eyes roamed over her curvy figure. The apron added to her allure. "You know that had yet to happen, right? And with that tea, I doubt you'll have a chance."
