Chapter 2203: You love me like this
Seconds later, I collapsed on top of her, our bodies slippery with sweat and our breaths trying to catch up to each other.
I could feel her heart racing against mine, our bodies still joined together. I looked down at her, a soft smile playing on my lips.
Seconds later, our lips joined once again for another kiss. This time gentle and filled with affection. Then, I pulled out and slipped down to her side. I lie down next to her and held her in my arms.
After a minute of rest, Orimura-sensei looked up at me, her eyes filled with a mix of pleasure and conflict.
"This... this wasn't supposed to happen,"
"But it is happening, sensei. And you couldn't deny that you wanted this just as much as I did." I countered.
She bit her lip and pouted. She was probably twisting her mind to come up with another reason. But in the end, she let out a sigh, giving up.
"I... I do want it. But I'm supposed to be teaching you restraint, not... not this."
I cupped her cheeks and pressed her lips with my thumb, "You can teach me restraint later, sensei. Right now, I just want to hold you and enjoy this moment with you."
She averted her gaze and pushed her head on my neck before her muffled voice came answering, Her breath was hot against my neck as she whispered, "You... you already made me feel good, shameless brat. Too good."
Hearing that, I couldn't help but feel a little proud. But I knew where I stood. This still wasn't enough to make her fully admit. She would continue to insist on correcting my path even if it always led to this situation.
I didn't say anything else and simply held her and caressed her to give her comfort.
We might still be half-naked but after doing all that, cuddling like this already felt normal.
After a while, she looked up again as she voiced out her thoughts while her cheeks remained flushed.
"I lost control... But I won't fault you for it... I admit it's all on me. I did everything and you're just responding to me."
I'm glad to hear that she's admitting that but I can also sense how she's about to fall into self-blame.
Not to report what we did, of course. But to prepare for the PE Class. Looks like Orimura- sensei was going to help again but in a limited capacity.
Thinking back to the activity Ryouko-san presented yesterday, it was indeed better for another PE teacher to be around.
Will I be able to join in the activity though?
Unfortunately, no.
I'd be her complete assistant for today. I'd do the stretching and warming up but after that, I'd be helping them supervise the two classes.
There would be no chance for me to show off.
As we stepped out into the hallway, the intense heat coming from the room and the scent of what had transpired still lingered on us. However, it was buried under the professional front, Orimura-sensei wore.
She walked beside me, her usual confident stride restored. Nonetheless, I could notice the occasional sidelong glance she threw my way. Despite everything, the tension between us hadn't dissipated entirely-it hung in the air like an unspoken secret.
"So, sensei, I'm curious about your class. Are you also the only one handling the 2nd year classes," I asked casually, breaking the silence and acting like we just went on a normal meeting despite our lips a little swollen from the amount of kisses we shared.
Orimura-sensei gave me a sharp look, her lips pressing into a thin line. "No. There's another PE teacher. There are six 2nd year classes in the school. I cannot handle them all."
"I see. We only have four classes in our year level. But Ryouko-san was alone."
She shot me another look, this one colder, though I caught the briefest flicker of something else. I guess that was her trait of being too protective of Ryouko-san, "She's an amazing woman, shameless brat. I cannot really compare to her even if I'm supposed to be her senior. You snotty brats can be handled by her easily. It's just that..."
Her voice trailed at the end, hinting at the problem that Ryouko-san was facing.
Her harshness toward the male students as well as her tendency to issue collective punishment and instill discipline.
I may have helped her patch the underlying issue about her difficulty in handling the male
students, however, she was still far from recovering from it. The trauma was still there. I had only done patchwork on it. It would take time for Ryouko-san to completely forget that
experience.
