Chapter 140 - Like some kind of spell

The heavy scent of his cologne, his warm body, and yet cold fingertips. His strong gaze, his sweet and low voice. His voice calling her name over and over like some kind of spell. "Setsura."

She isn't proud of it at all. But before Akito, she didn't do it with anybody else. Sure she experienced kisses, bugging, and holding hands. But that's as far as she got. So when it came down to doing it, she didn't have the faintest idea what to do. Setsura noted that he was getting awfully close, but she didn't notice when he removed her clothes. Was it when they were hugging, did he already started to remove the zipper? Either way that didn't matter now.

Surprisingly, even an inexperienced person would know what to do during these situations. Her body just reacted naturally.

"Does it feel that good?"

Setsura rolled her eyes at his comment, "You already know it does, quit asking."

"I like hearing you say it."

What's with that, 'I like comment?' it's completely unneeded. Akito brushed his forehead against hers. This is so ridiculous, so idiotic. If it were the previous her, she wouldn't have done these things. She would have waited till marriage. Setsura wondered if all guys were like Akito and that person. Are they all good kissers? Even then, Akito kisses differently than that person.

It feels like she can really get used to it.

"Does it hurt? Your crying."

"I'm not."

Akito laughed, "Your so stubborn, my love. But I find that cute."

Why does he look at her with such a loving look in his eyes? Setsura closed her eyes and allowed her instincts to take over. Akito also stopped talking and focused on her body. It's already too late; she's already used to this. Whatever feeling this is. Even if he doesn't really love her, even if his feelings aren't as strong, none of those mattered right now.

If she put these feelings into words right now and conveyed it to him, would Akito get angry at her? Or would he...be pleased? Setsura wasn't sure. So until then, this is fine.

"Are you comfortable?"

"Yes, it's good."

His smile is tender, and he stopped teasing her. Akito places gentle kisses down her neck, and Setsura ran her hands through his black locks. Why does this feel so good? It doesn't make sense. Whenever she saw such scenes from movies before, she would turn away from those scenes.

Setsura always thought she could never see herself doing something like this. But look at her current situation now, tangled and bare body pressed against another person. Just like those scenes from movies. No, this is different. It feels special.

"You know when you said you wanted to do something? Do you want to try now?"

"Nngh," Setsura nodded. "But I don't know what to do."

"Then, just follow my lead, okay?" he gently kissed her lips.

.....

The following morning, Setsura pondered on the memories of yesterday. Each time they do it, it feels different. She wondered why that was. It's not like anything actually changes. It is the same as usual, waking up sweaty and dirty. But, somehow it differs from what she thought. Those movies and the things she hears from the other girls, put her off from it. That guy was not fussed about it either, though they attempted it a few times.

"And then you two melted into passion for the rest of the night."

The person who said that with a nonchalant face is none other than Lyra. She was on her way to the Li household when Setsura saw Lyra at a tea shop. Feeling hungry too, Setsura decided to accompany her for a bit.

Natasha's eyes sparkled, her cheeks red. "M--melted into passion?"

And this is the daughter of the current mafia head. Coincidentally Natasha was running some errands for her group. Once she overheard the topic, the girl ended up staying too.

'Such a naive and innocent girl.' Then again, it's hard to believe Natasha is younger than her.

Lyra nodded, "I've heard that Akito doesn't let his prey escape once he sets his eyes on them."

What's with that brutish way of describing him? Then again, she supposes Akito does give that impression.

"But you know, where do those rumors come from? Akito has never laid his hands on any other female before Setsura came along. He didn't touch his wife, and he didn't play around before he met his wife. He was always serious and hardworking."

Serious and hardworking? Well, even though he is a fool at times. She is familiar with that side of him. It's because he's worked hard this entire time, that he got his position as chief. Though, Akito did say something about his background being involved. The main reason is his hard work. To lose it all after that incidence was such a waste.

Setsura picked up her drink and stirred the contents. "That's obviously a lie. Rumors don't come out of nowhere; he's definitely seen other women before," she commented. While Setsura wanted to trust him, the truth is she hardly knows anything about him. It won't do her any harm being careful right.

"So, you came to bad mouth me? Nor get a check-up?" a voice whispered in her ear.

Setsura almost dropped the drink, but Akito reached out and picked it up.

"Your bad habit of eavesdropping doesn't change," Lyra casually commented.

Natasha nodded, "Right, it's really bad of him. He doesn't know what the word privacy means."

Akito rolled his eyes and brushed his hand on her forehead. "You're very feverish. Hey Lyra, I sent her over so..."

Lyra nodded and stood up. She walked over and moved Akito's hand away. "Setsura-chan, what have you been eating since then?"

What she ate.. Setsura recalled the food at the festival, and breakfast in the morning. Uh, she averted her gaze and tried to describe a meal vaguely. But Lyra immediately understood.

"Akito, you took her out to the festival?" Lyra was talking normally. But her tone was judging.

Akito nodded, "Well, she needed some fresh air."

"It's that nonchalant attitude that got your wife sick all the time. You need to be considerate of girls' health. Girls' bodies are different than males, you know? They are strong, yes, but not as strong as males. You need to stop dragging her off to your pointless adventures... She doesn't have the stamina for it, even before she was drugged."

Her sweat fell when she heard Lyra's lecturing tone. Originally Setsura intended to lecture Akito herself, but it appears like there is no need to do that. Akito walked over and scooped her in his arm, "Setsura?"

"I'm just a bit tired."

A bit is an understatement. Maybe she should have waited for Akito instead of walking to town by herself. However, it really felt like he would take forever. He was too busy reorganizing the household. After the recent incidence, apparently, Akito wanted to be more careful. So that's why he supervised the new arrangements himself.

One of the main reasons was finding out where to assign that woman. Setsura wondered how he dealt with it in the end.
