Chapter 30: Descent into Need ( 30 )
Kyouko knew. Sooner or later, if she kept letting Haruki hold her like this, if she kept giving him space this close to her heart and body, they would cross that line.
And once they did, there would be no going back.
She wasn't naïve. This wasn't just harmless comfort anymore. Haruki's hands weren't just seeking warmth, they were filled with want and desire. And her body... was responding. Worse, her heart was starting to crave it too.
What am I doing? she thought, yet she didn't move away.
You're being stupid, Kyouko. Letting another man hold you like this. Letting him kiss your neck, hug you, and touch the places another man shouldn't touch. Letting him see this side of you.
A married woman. A mother-in-law.
But still, she stayed in his arms. Because deep down, she already knew Haruki wouldn't stop.
Not after this.
And the most dangerous part?
She didn't want him to.
Kyouko turned with a smile, slowly leaning in as if inviting a kiss but stopping just before their lips touched.
