Stealing Spree

Chapter 156: Make her Fall Tonight

When I arrived home, Shio was the one waiting for me at the door. As if a wife waiting for her husband, Shio kissed me and took my bag from me before leading me to the living room where Minoru and Miwa-nee are.

Missing that familiar figure, I couldn't help but blurt out a question.

"Where is Akane?"

It's rare not to see her in the house. No. Not just rare, she's always here whenever I'm home.

Not seeing her this time led me to instantly long for her figure.

"I'm here, husband."

Her soothing voice along with a hug from my back answered me.

"You had me worried for a second. Where did you go?"

I turned around to see her giving off her enchanting smile as always.

"I'm happy you instantly look for me. I'm just in the bathroom. My pee came at the wrong timing."

Err… To think it was that simple of a reason.

"I see. I'm really a worrywart, eh?"

I wryly smiled before I slipped my arms around her waist to pick her up. My sudden worry and longing for her made me want to put her as close to me as possible.

"I love you."

Akane whispered it in my ears before she pulled her head back to align our face to each other. From there, our lips naturally met and we started sharing a passionate kiss between us.

"Me too, Ruru."

Shio's envious voice sounded right after I kissed Akane. Turning my head to face her, Shio's lips overlapped mine even with Akane in my arms. The soft feeling of her lips which I slowly get used to, pressed on mine.

"You three, do that somewhere Minoru can't see, okay?"

Miwa-nee who was watching us commented.

"Miwa-nee, you too."

Instead of heeding her. I called out to this beautiful aunt of mine. It's been some time since I got my focus on her.

"Really. You've become this spoiled, Ruki."

Though she says that, Miwa-nee stood up and took me from Shio's embrace. Like the other two, our lips immediately locked together and from how aggressive she kissed me, I could feel Miwa-nee also longed for this.

And if that's not enough, I switched between the three, turning that scene into something taken from a paradise.

Only when we're all satisfied did we stop..

"It's only kisses but…"

Shio's soft voice was in doubt.

"...why can't we stop?"

Miwa-nee finished her question.

"It's because husband always never wanted to lose to us."

And Akane answered their doubts.

"How can I resist you three? Showing our affection like that, it's a nice feeling."

Taking them all in my arms, I guess no one could always experience this.

"Then don't do anything now. You should rest right there and wait for our dinner."

Shio's commanding voice surprisingly surfaced at this moment.

"Right. You keep on moving these past few days so just relax there.

Miwa-nee seconded her.

"I'll brush your hair to help you relax, husband."

And Akane is taking her duties as my wife.

Ah. Even these three. They're all urging me to take a rest and relax. I guess a nap should be fine. Then I'll take them up on their offer.

With the sounds of Shio and Miwa-nee working at the kitchen and Akane gently brushing my hair with her fingers while letting me use her lap as a pillow, I closed my eyes and let my mind relax as I drifted off to sleep.

I might've really been so tired that I immediately fell asleep when I put myself in this relaxed situation.

This lifestyle of ours is centered around me. I have to be strong for them. Showing myself as fatigued as that will affect them as well. I'm their foundation, if I disappeared, everything would crumble down.

When I woke up after that short nap, I was still in Akane's lap. Seeing her face each time I opened my eyes from sleep was already the norm for me. With a smile on her face, Akane's lips parted.

"Have you rested enough?"

"I guess so. Did I look really tired earlier?"

Akane nodded with a hint of worry in her face.

"I must've worried you all."

I reached my hand on her face and caressed it with my fingers, taking in this smooth and soft face, remembering its shape.

"Take regular rest like this starting today. Even a short nap can reduce the fatigue that was building up."

Akane put her hand over it as she held onto it tightly.

"Un. I will."

When she heard my answer, a beautiful and relieved smile bloomed from Akane's lips.

After that, I was led by her to the dining room. Shio and Miwa-nee have just finished preparing our dinner.

Since there's Minoru, we didn't talk about the current problem Shio was facing instead, we had a harmonious dinner. Seeing their smiling faces like this, I wanted to paint that and frame it near the front door. To remind me to protect those smiles from anything.

What I left at Shio's husband's car was something like a declaration of war but I'm already prepared to deal with him. Now I'm just waiting on how he will respond. Without resolving this, we wouldn't be able to move forward.

There's also the issue with Miwa-nee's husband. If my guess was correct, he started to notice Minoru that doesn't resemble him at all that's why they had a fight.

And Miwa-nee, owning up to her fault, doesn't want to involve me.

However, when she called my mom, she was guided to go here. Is she expecting me to notice it as well?

Haa. I have to call and ask mom after this issue with Shio.

After our dinner, Miwa-nee took Minoru upstairs while Shio tended to the dishes.

Akane sat next to me in the living room to pass the time while watching something on TV.

During it, she told me that her father will arrive tomorrow. It's already more than a week since Akane moved here with me.

During that time when we had that talk, her father agreed since he will soon go home to accompany Aunt Akemi. I wonder. Should I greet them?

"Let's eat dinner with them tomorrow?"

I asked her which instantly put a smile on her face.

"Yes! Uhm. That's what I'm about to ask but you beat me to it."

"They're my in-laws, of course, I want to show them that even if I'm like this, I'm properly taking care of you."

"I'm really happy to be like this with you again."

"Me too."

The night went on after that. During our bath, Akane told me to go to Shio's room. I told her what I did earlier so after processing it in her mind, she told me to take Shio today. To ease her mind on what's about to come after we resolved the issue with her husband.

After sending Akane to our room, I assured her that I'll be back to her side. She just nodded and kissed me before pushing me out of our room. For her to suggest and to concede this time for Shio. Akane's doing her best to help me again.

"May I come in?"

After knocking three times, I called out from outside of the room. Earlier, I came in without knocking so I took it to mind this time.

When I didn't hear any answer from her, I opened the door and walked to her bedside.

Shio is already peacefully asleep. However, when she felt my fingers brushing on her face, her eyes fluttered and slowly opened.

"It's already late in the night, why are you here?"

"To see my Shio, of course. Can I?"

I answered her and asked for her permission if I can get inside the bed with her.

"Un. Come in."

Shio moved back for a bit to give me space. Seeing that, I climbed on the bed and lay myself next to her.

"Will you sleep with me tonight?"

Shio asked when I'm finished settling myself inside the blanket.

"Do you want me to?"

I turned my body to face her and so did she. Even in this dimly lit room, Shio's eyes shined with a hint of her loneliness. Of course, it's still about her husband.

"Yes, Ruru. Steal me from him tonight."

With conviction in her voice, Shio told me what she wanted me to do.

"Aren't you already mine?"

The day I set my sights on her, I already considered her as mine…

"We haven't done it yet, so…"

The volume of her voice lowered as if she's embarrassed to say it.

"Doing and not doing it isn't the real factor whether you're mine, right? What do you feel about me, Shio?"

If before I used that as a demarcation of who's completely mine or not. Not anymore. My first time with them will just be our memory that we could recall in times that we're in doubt. That's why I wanted to make it special for Shio, Aya, Nao and Nami.

"I like you… Even if you're my student, I'm the one being taught by you. You kept on opening my eyes on the things I couldn't notice before."

Did I do any of that?

"I don't recall doing any of that."

"Idiot. You did, you just won't take the credit for it."

Ah. Maybe I really did.

"Because it's still made with your own effort."

I slipped my hand to hold her head from below her ear. It's always their own effort. Not mine.

"Will you be fine in the future?"

Future again, eh? It's uncertain but…

"I will. I'll make sure of it."

Hearing my answer, Shio nodded and smiled.

"I spent the day without thinking of the problem like you asked. And I cleared my mind."

"I'm glad it works."

I'm more than glad that she listened to me.

"But Ruki. I'm sorry but I still can't decide on what to do."

With a trace of regret and sorrow, Shio asked for my forgiveness.

"Why are you saying sorry? That's normal. Only fools will make a hasty decision concerning their futures. Ah. I am one of those fools, and I already dragged some of them with me."

I expected that it wouldn't be enough. That's why I'm here to make the final push.

"Right. You're a fool. A fool who knows what he's doing. Compared to me. I deluded myself that he's just as happy as me when we married."

Her self-pity was oozing out with every word that she said.

"That's also normal. Everyone has their own fantasies. You got taken in by him and that led you to marry him."

But I vowed to shatter it. It's not her fault to be taken in. It's all on that pedophile.

"I am also a fool to even consider that he will change. I haven't told you but before me, someone else was his lover."

Revealing more information about him, I guess I already expected that when I saw Nao's state in which she got that ribbon and hairstyle which Shio has when she's still his student. Maybe the previous girl was also like that.

"I see. So he's actually already dating a student before you."

"Un. Now that I got a clear head and the time to think about it, he's only getting a new girlfriend after the girl he's dating graduated. He probably thought of cutting me off as well after I graduated to get himself a new girl to play with."

Most likely. Ah no. That's a certainty already.

"But you broke it when you dragged him to meet your parents."

The other girls before her probably couldn't do what she did.

"Yes. Maybe even before our wedding, when I was busy studying in college, he already got someone new without my knowledge. His transfer was probably because of that as well, he wouldn't be able to get someone new if I worked at the same school as him."

Considering she's busy studying away from him. There's no doubt that he got someone new. Even if he couldn't run away from their wedding, that didn't stop him to continue what he's doing.

"I see, that's why Nao became his new girl. But surprisingly, he didn't take her first time."

"Her resistance must be high that's why he kept bringing her home to lower her guard down."

I see. He's trying to rile the two of them up by letting them meet each other, but before his plan came to fruition, I stepped in.

"Is that what he did to you?"

"I willingly gave it to him. I was a fool in love."

Right. Nao is… waiting for me? That sounded arrogant but it's a possibility that's why she put up that condition to him.

"I see. You're no fool Shio. You just fell in love."

There's nothing wrong if someone fell in love. Even if it's with the wrong person. What's wrong is not cherishing someone like that.

"Help me, Ruru."

Shio drew her face and her whole body near me, with a few centimetres of the distance between our bodies, I could already feel her warmth.

"Isn't that why I'm here?"

I slipped my hand on her waist to pull her closer to me. This is the closest we could ever get. More than that will be when our clothes are cast off.

"Un. Make me fall for you."

Shio nodded. I could see my own reflection in her eyes. Right now, I'm the only one she's seeing.

"I'm already set at doing that even without you asking me."

Touching our foreheads together, I smiled and declared to Shio.

"Then do it."

Shio slipped her arm around my neck and pulled herself up. Her breasts were now fully pressed to me, she's not wearing any bra this time as I could feel it clearly even through our clothes.

"Alright. I hope you're prepared."

After saying that, I didn't wait for long anymore. Our lips naturally met each other.? With the desire to completely make her fall for me, Shio also has this desire to completely be taken in by me. I will do it. After tonight, she will stop being his wife.
