Esper Harem in the Apocalypse-Novel

Chapter 913 Balcony Flirter

Rias settled beside him, the two of them shared a comfortable silence, the sound of the wind and the distant hum of the city below providing a soothing backdrop. Rudy's bare skin felt a curious warmth where it was pressed against her, a contrast to the chilly breeze that continued to tousle their hair.

"You know," Rias began, her gaze fixed on the horizon, "there's something about the early morning that's truly enchanting. It's a moment suspended between night and day, where anything feels possible."

Rudy nodded in agreement, his gaze now fixed on the same horizon. "Yeah, it's like a fresh start, a blank canvas waiting to be painted with whatever we choose."

Rias turned her head to look at him, a soft smile gracing her lips. "You have a way with words, Rudy."

He met her gaze, his eyes holding a mix of sincerity and fondness. "I guess I've had plenty of time to think about things, especially with everything that's happened."

She nodded, her fingers brushing against his lightly. "You've brought so much change to our lives, Rudy. Sometimes, I can't help but wonder how different things would have been if we hadn't crossed paths."

Rudy's smile widened as he turned his body slightly to face her. "I believe that every encounter, every decision we make, shapes our journey in unique ways. And I wouldn't trade any of it for the world."

As the two of them stood on the balcony, taking in the view of the awakening city, Rudy's gaze wandered for a moment, briefly shifting from the scenery to Rias' naked body. His eyes naturally traced over her figure, catching the curves and contours.

Since he had mostly seen her clothed, seeing her naked was still a new sight for him. It was a glance, a fleeting moment of appreciation that might have gone unnoticed if not for Rias' keen observation.

Rias, with her perceptive nature, detected the shift in Rudy's gaze. Her lips curved into a playful smile, and she turned her head to meet his eyes. "You know, the view is even more beautiful if you look at the cityscape," she teased, her tone light.

Rudy's eyes met hers, a hint of a mischievous twinkle present in his gaze. "Well, I suppose the cityscape does have its charms," he responded, his voice equally light. "But if I had to choose between staring at the surroundings and staring at you, I think I'd pick the latter."

Rias raised an eyebrow, amusement dancing in her eyes. "Oh, really? And why is that?"

He chuckled softly, his smile warm and genuine. "Because no matter how breathtaking the view may be, it can't compare to the allure of your presence." He glanced back towards the cityscape briefly before returning his focus to her. "Besides, scenery doesn't captivate my attention like you do."

Rias' lips curled into a pleased smile, her playful demeanor softening into something more genuine. She met his gaze, a mixture of emotions reflected in her eyes. "Smooth talker," she teased gently.

Rudy shrugged casually, a lighthearted grin on his lips. "Just speaking the truth."

Rudy's playful words elicited a soft chuckle from Rias. As he pulled her closer, his arms enveloping her in a warm embrace, her heart quickened in response to his closeness. His words held a hint of mischief and a lot of truth, causing a blush to rise to her cheeks.

"And I can't kiss and do other things with the scenery like I can do with you," Rudy continued, his tone a mixture of teasing and sincerity.

Her laughter was soft, a delicate melody that seemed to dance between them. His words held a truth that was hard to deny, and Rias found herself captivated by his presence, by the way he could make her feel in such a simple moment.

Before she could react further, his lips met hers in a tender kiss. It was a kiss that spoke of familiarity and longing, a connection that had grown over time. Rias responded eagerly, her arms sliding around his neck as she pressed herself against him. The world around them seemed to fade away, leaving only the sensation of his lips on hers, the warmth of his touch, and the beating of their hearts in sync.

As the kiss deepened, Rudy's grip on her tightened, his fingers tracing patterns along her back. Their bodies pressed together, fitting perfectly in the intimate embrace. Rias could feel the beating of his heart against her own chest. The playful banter that had filled the air a moment ago now transformed into something more intimate, a shared understanding of the emotions that they had for each other.

When they finally pulled away, their breaths mingling in the air, Rias looked up at Rudy with a mixture of fondness and playfulness in her gaze. "You certainly have a way with words," she murmured, her fingers brushing lightly against his cheek.

Rudy's eyes twinkled as he grinned down at her. "Well, I've always believed in being straightforward," he quipped, his fingers tracing patterns on her back.

Rias chuckled, her fingers trailing along his collarbone. "I've noticed that," she replied, her tone affectionate. "But I suppose I can't complain."

His grin turned into a tender smile as he leaned down, his lips brushing against her forehead in a gentle kiss. "I'm glad to hear that," he murmured.

"You are supposed to kiss my lips."

Rudy pressed Rias against the ledge of the balcony and kissed her lips.

As their kisses grew more passionate and their bodies pressed against each other, Rias felt a rush of desire coursing through her veins. The heat of their connection intensified, enveloping them in a cocoon of shared longing.

Amidst the fervent exchange of kisses, her gaze naturally wandered, catching the sight of Rudy's thighs that were brushing against hers. The playful glint in her eyes matched the mischievous smile that curved her lips. Breaking the kiss for a moment, she gazed down at his thighs and then met his eyes, her voice laced with a teasing tone.

"Looks like someone wants to greet me," she whispered, her words a sultry invitation that carried a promise of more intimate moments to come.
