Chapter 33: The Slow Collapse ( 33 )
Kyouko felt it,that slow, wandering touch. Haruki's hand had started to drift, fingers brushing closer to her breast.
She let out a soft, breathy laugh and gave his hand a gentle, playful slap.
"No, no~" she whispered with a teasing smile, her eyes glinting. "Even a kiss is more than enough... for now."
But Haruki wasn't done. He leaned in again, and this time, there was no hesitation.
Their lips met,warm and familiar now, yet still thrilling. The kiss was slower, more romantic. Lingering. His lips molded perfectly against hers, and Kyouko responded, melting into the moment. Her fingers instinctively curled into the fabric of his shirt, pulling him just a little closer.
Her heart raced again.
When they finally parted, Haruki chuckled, his eyes half-lidded with satisfaction.
"Is that kiss your breakfast?" Kyouko asked, trying to keep the mood light, her tone teasing even as her lips still tingled from the kiss.
He grinned. "Best breakfast I've ever had."
Kyouko turned away quickly, forcing herself to focus on the plates.
"Now, eat properly." Her voice was firm, but her cheeks were still flushed.
