Chapter 1349 Adorable Izumi

After hearing how much I missed her, the fake delinquent expressed her joy by clamping my lips and preventing me from continuing to be a cheeky junior who planned to tease her to no end. And right after that, she gently tapped my lap before lowering herself down on it, sitting like it was her throne.

I guess the previous times I had her on it already made a mark in her mind; that whenever we found ourselves alone like this, my lap was her rightful place.

She's not wrong. That's why I simply guided her down to it before using my arms to completely support her.

She liked that a lot. But then, not long after, she smugly clicked her tongue and affectionately whispered, "Hmm, I think I'm liking you better without being subjected to your glib tongue, shameless Ruki. Should we spend our time like this?"

I would've said yes right away if she was not holding my lips shut. Nevertheless, there's no hurt in agreeing to her wishes today.

We literally had nothing to talk about anymore when it comes to the Mentor Program. And even spiting Ogawa had started to feel bland. This girl had already moved on from her infatuation, after all. As for other things we could use as a topic such as the happenings around her or just about the whole delinquent scene that she's partly involved in, we were both not that keen on bringing those up.

She's already aware of my dealings with Uchiyama and his gang of delinquents who recently went under my command – even if I hadn't truly acknowledged them – as well as Enomoto's role in everything regarding this school's current underground hierarchy.

So, in a way, that would just become a boring topic for us. And with that, we're left with nothing but continuing to deepen our bond…

And with that, taking my silence as a yes, Izumi lowered her gaze from me and used my chest as her pillow. When she did that, her fingers clamping my lips gradually loosened up until she let go of it completely.

Sliding her hand to my cheek, the girl started caressing it filled with her affection for me.

When she raised her gaze to lock eyes with me, I put on the usual expression I only showed to my girls. Then I slid my hand to her waist, pulling her upper body upwards, just enough for her lips to be within my kissing range.

Perhaps expecting that kind of move from me, Izumi gulped down her saliva in anticipation.

I didn't disappoint her. After admiring her beauty as well as her lovely reactions, I captured her lips with mine, starting a long, intimate kiss.

Starting with a simple overlapping of our mouths, fitting them perfectly, our tongues eventually made their move, entangling each other.

Doing that for at least a few minutes, the two of us would pause at times to catch our breath. But with our focus fully invested in our intimate exchange, the pauses only consisted of several seconds of inhaling a fresh batch of air before becoming lost with each other again.

"Say, do you not want to hear me whisper sweet nothings to you?"

When I noticed that I was about to move to the next stage by using my hand to cop a feel of the pair of softness pressed against my chest, I regained some sense in my mind and used that question to stop me from startling her if she's not ready for that yet.

However, considering the girl was also paying attention to my every move, she probably noticed my intention. Nonetheless, she still answered the question honestly, "It's not that I don't want to hear it. Aren't I satisfied enough from hearing how much you missed me? Besides, I know that there's a better way to do that. For example, through action. Ruki, I appreciate it… you held back for my sake."

And there she goes… Instead of letting it slide, she put it out at the front.

"But holding back at this point? Ruki, I have no idea you can be this soft. Oh, I just realized. You're a softie… Didn't you take your time comforting me back then?

"Girl… It's not that I'm soft but I'm just making sure that you're not going to hate me."

But thinking about it, I might really be being very careful with her… I mean, looking back to our very first interaction, even with the layer of her fake delinquent mask, she's also someone who would not hesitate to grab on chances to make the guy she likes to look at her.

"I think this is a very cute side of you, Ruki. A naïve yet very shameless junior." With a playful laugh, Izumi pinched my nose. "After making me fall for you, don't you think you're disregarding how crazy I was when I planned to get Kazuo to fall for me after you stole Nanami from him?"

Cute side, huh? I don't know if that's cute but I guess it's one of my flaws… At this moment, she's trying to tell me that she's not a delicate girl that needs very careful handling.

True, she's always melting in my arms nowadays, but the Izumi that I got to know wasn't a cinnamon roll. She's the type who could also do everything for the guy she likes. And here, she's reminding me of her crazy acts when she's still infatuated with that coward…

I grabbed the hand pinching my nose and placed it on my shoulder. Following that, I stared into her eyes as a defeated smile rose from my lips, "Yeah, you're crazy. You even give your first kiss to him even if he's unwilling."

"Ugh. Don't remind me of that. Remember, he didn't accept it. In the end, you're the one who got my first genuine kiss in the end."

"Oh. Right… That's a wonderful kiss if only we didn't get interrupted. The way you worried over my safety made me confess right at that spot."

"Sheesh, now you're reminiscing. Stop that"

Well, how could I not reminisce? It's that coward who interrupted us. Although I didn't tell her about it for her sake, it's still another slap to that guy's face.

"Alright… Then, Izumi. I understand what you're trying to tell me… I'll loosen up a bit in how I treat you. I promised to take care of you so… I won't simply act like a beast who's out to ravage you.

"… That's fair. You're too stuck up in your promises. But maybe that's why I still got hooked on you. What you and Arisa did last week… I'm honestly not ready for it… but I admit that I sometimes dream about it." Upon saying that last part, Izumi tried to cover her face but with the red already occupying it ever since our kisses deepened, I could imagine the extreme blush on it. What she witnessed in that room was surely still fresh in her mind…

"Oh… Look who's the pervert now… Dreaming of it. Am I doing it with Arisa or you?"

"Don't ask me, you shameless idiot!" Reverting to her usual self, Izumi snapped at me before starting her assault on my lips, biting it with the intention to punish me.

"Now that's my Izumi…" I teasingly remarked before holding her head in place. In this way, she stopped biting my lips, and eventually, we resumed what we're doing earlier.

As our kiss deepened enough that all we had in mind was to feel each other up, the girl eventually fixed her sitting position and straddled me. On the other hand, my hands went from supporting her back and waist to slipping inside her uniform.

However, instead of going straight to the wonderful pair of softness, my thumbs lingered on her navel, giving it a sensual massage as my lips slid down to her neck, finding every sensitive spot on it.

To keep herself steady, Izumi wrapped her arms around the back of my head, pushing me deeper into her neck. However, her hips also started subtly moving, feeling up and rubbing herself on my growing bulge.

Just like this, the remaining time for the Mentor Program only put us in a more intimate situation than how we started. Making use of this exclusive time for ourselves, our relationship took another step forward.
