Chapter 588: Hitomi's Path

Minutes into our conversation where I got to know more about her, Hitomi remained on my lap, our bodies closely linked together. In fact, by being like this, we could hear each other’s heartbeats as well and the sound of our breathing.

Although I tried to behave my hands at first, as our conversation progressed, it gradually moved from her waist and settled right on her slightly perky butt.

Because she’s wearing a tight skirt and not thick pants, the sensation of my palms and fingers digging into those two soft mounds was nothing short of heavenly. Furthermore, no matter how much she tried to be as expressionless as possible, Hitomi’s released a barely audible moan followed by slightly averting her gaze by turning her head sideways.

That last part made it too obvious that she could produce that kind of reaction. Perhaps if she didn’t do that, given that it’s barely audible, I would pass that off as nothing.

Nonetheless, knowing that she could express herself like that, it made me glad that her ice shell wasn’t unbreakable.

In any case, with her established belief to return everything three times as much, I thought of seeing how well she would translate what I did.

To my surprise, Hitomi slightly arched her back, pulling her upper body away from me as well as sliding her lower body backward. She did that to give herself the space to take off my top. If yesterday she helped me wear my clothes back, this time, she perfectly unbuttoned it and carefully took it off me, making sure that it wouldn’t get any crease.

Following that, her hands began exploring my upper body. Starting from my neck, sliding down to my shoulder and settling on my chest.

At first, cloth gloves covered her hands and fingers which failed to even tickle my skin. Perhaps noticing that she couldn’t get that much reaction from me other than how she reacted when I grabbed her butt, Hitomi removed it before continuing.

When her hands reached my chest, it just conveniently slid down to my waist before focusing on my navel, stopping just above my pants.

At this point, I steered our conversation towards what she’s doing, asking her if that’s already three times as much as what I did.

“Not close enough, Ruki-sama. Don’t mind me and focus on our conversation.”

With her voice still sounding somewhat emotionless despite making me topless on top of straddling me, I could only nod at her and wait at what she planned to do next.

Given our current situation, that part of me was already close to reacting to her. The only thing limiting it was the fact that I couldn’t see her clearly.

Moreover, I came three times already. Even if I get turned on by this situation, making it fully erect was kind of hard, given that it’s not even an hour yet since doing it with Akane inside the tub.

“Focus on our conversation, you say? Well then, you can choose not to answer this but Hitomi, until when will you serve under Otoha? Don’t you also need to make your own family?”

Taking my mind off how she’s currently exploring my body with her hands and eventually with her lips which focused on my chest up to my neck, I raised a question concerning her future.

Although I could have asked Otoha about this, I refrained from doing that.

It’s a lot better to ask the person herself especially if it was too personal like this.

Their whole family might be serving the Kaneko House but didn’t they need to also expand their household? Or perhaps, only males were allowed to start a family, their offspring becoming the servants of the Kaneko House’s new generation.

If that’s the case then... that’s kind of pitiful. Even if their family was devoted to the noble house, they’re not giving their children a right to choose.

Well, this was just my assumption.

Hitomi was actually taking her time to answer me. With her fingers slowly moving around my navel or specifically circling around my abdominal muscles, her inexperienced lips were smooching my neck and complete with sound effects.

She’s probably copying what she saw from Otoha whenever I let that girl do anything she wanted to me.

What she liked to do the most was to shower my neck with kisses, slightly sucking it to produce the smooch sound effects. However, focusing on my abs was probably Hitomi’s own way to escalate what I did. My hands remained on her butt after all.

Whether this was already three times, I had no idea.

Around two minutes later, Hitomi raised her head. With her eyes closed, she cupped my cheeks and opened her mouth, responding to my question earlier.

However, I immediately noticed how she’s slightly shaking or rather her heartbeat raced. She’s either extremely nervous or excited. Either of the two, I had a hunch that what she’s about to do after answering was the final act for returning what I did to her three times the intensity.

“I will be serving under Ojou-sama for as long as she requires my presence. Only Ojou-sama can dismiss me from being her close aide. As for Ruki-sama’s next question, that’s my path if I followed the regular route for the women of Mihara Family, becoming a housemaid of the Kaneko House.”

As I digested her answer, I noticed the hidden bitterness in her voice. Even though her answer was still incomplete, she just revealed that she’d be unable to make her own family or even marry someone.

And while I was still in that train of thought, Hitomi’s fragrant breath once again washed over my face. Following that, even with the current dimly lit interior of the car, I finally got to look at her face closely.

However, that’s only for a split second because soon after that, Hitomi’s lips firmly pressed on mine.

Not stopping from a simple kiss, her hold on my cheeks Hitomi’s arms eventually enclosed my head, pushing my head closer to her as she began to deepen our lips’ connection.

Hito minutely adjusted her lips by pulling back and pressing her lips many times over.

At that point, I hadn’t responded to her yet and just opened my lips slightly, letting her do what she planned to.

Seconds turned to minutes and by then her lips would cover my lips for an extended duration with her tongue swimming inside my mouth, entangling mine.

And although I thought of waiting for her to stop before beginning to return what she did, copying her belief, impatience came over me.

Before Hitomi could react, I caught her tongue and began responding to her kiss. Not only that, my still hands moved, pulling her lower body closer to me.

With my abrupt actions, Hitomi slightly opened her eyes. I thought she would push me away and stop what we’re doing but I was wrong once again.

Hitomi accepted it, leading to our situation changing from being one-sided to a mutual understanding.

Making use of this chance, I bring forth my experience to teach her everything she needed to know about kisses. And being an excellent woman, she easily picked up everything.

Before I knew it, our position was already reversed, me being on top of her. On top of that, the backrest of the passenger’s seat was already reclined to a 135-degree angle.

“It’s no good, Hitomi. Don’t talk about a closed path. I will open up one for you even if it means stealing you away from Otoha and making you mine.” I muttered while caressing her soft lips that I was just sucking at a few seconds ago. This was in response to her words before we got too absorbed.

I thought she would try to say something like rejecting what I said but she only tilted her head to the side.

“Hmm? What are you talking about, Ruki-sama? I’m not finished with what I’m saying. Refrain from presuming things.”

Following that, for the first time today, Hitomi finally showed me the same smile that flashed upon her face yesterday.

No. It’s not just a smile.

Her eyes narrowed and she began laughing heartily.

For the first time since I met her, she’s laughing. And this was something I hadn’t expected.

Perhaps noticing my confused expression, Hitomi then tapped my cheek and reigned in her laugh, transforming it to her natural smile before completing what she hadn’t finished saying. “Ruki-sama, let me finish. The path you’re pertaining as closed is the path of not being able to choose who to marry. I can still have a family but not with someone I choose myself.”

“As for my new path. I will have that freedom. Furthermore, even if I don’t take that new path, won’t you marry Oujo-sama? Staying at her side will mean staying with you as well.” Hitomi concluded.

Without waiting to see my reaction, Hitomi pulled my head down, overlapping our lips. “For Ruki-sama’s information, I still haven’t returned three times the intensity of what you did yet. Pardon my rudeness and please bear with me.”
