Stealing Spree

"Wait, Onoda-kun. We shouldn't do this…"

That's all Eguchi-sensei could say as soon as I let go of her lips. The first kiss was just a normal one. Nonetheless, since it came from me, it's also not that ordinary. I locked her lips for more than a few seconds, making her head go blank for a while her mind experienced a delay.

And at the moment, she's blocking my lips, preventing me from kissing her again.

"Sensei, I said I'm going to help you. This is… a part of the process." While it's not technically a lie, telling it with a straight face was definitely the worst. It was too scummy even for me.

Eguchi-sensei was aware of my relationship with Satsuki and even with how close we were with every moment we spent together as well as her unconscious dropping of hints, deep in her mind, she's still respecting that.

That's why after crossing the boundary of just simply embracing each other and stepping into the realm of kisses; the benchmark of a couple's intimacy, she couldn't come to terms with it immediately.

Add to that, her utter lack of experience.

"Part of the process…" Eguchi-sensei repeated my words before looking up, her eyes focusing on my lips.

And at this point, my method was really effective. The kiss overwhelmed her mind that she already forgot how I'm currently holding her intimately. The shaking of her body stopped and took its place was a mix of different emotions.

I was just getting started. There's no way I would stop after that one, right?

With that in mind, I pushed in again and took her lips for the second time. And as soon as I locked her into a kiss, I let go of my hold on her chin and once again enclosed her with both of my arms.

"Sensei, no, Ryouko-san. To make this easy for both of us, let's forget about who we are outside of this house. For now, we're only a couple, spending our time together. My only intent is to help you conquer the memory that continues to haunt you to this day."

In between my assault on her lips that remained still, I sincerely whispered, hoping to create a situation where she'd be able to forget everything to savor this moment.

For sure, she's not just worrying about Satsuki but also the ironic situation where we have to inspect the other schools for forbidden relationships or just perverts preying on their students after this. Rather than complicate things that could prevent progress, it's in our best interest to strip ourselves of what we are and simply face each other as a couple.

I know it's kinda funny when I just said earlier that I should go over this slowly… But the reveal of her trauma somehow pushed me to do this. Thinking about it, this very situation was similar to the day Edel told me about her past. I quickly jumped into it by donning my shiny armor and declaring how I wanted to protect her.

"Can I really do that? Onoda-kun…"

"Yes, you can." Even if she's still doubting this, I already decided not to back down unless she shows remorse or straight-up rejection. And those were currently non-existent. She's hesitating, that's for sure. And perhaps, there's also the fear that we might not be able to hold back anymore even after we leave later.

But we could work on that later…

"O-okay. Take care of me, Onoda-kun."

"Un. Focus on me, Ryouko-san. Remember the sensation I will bring you." As shameless as that sounded, there's no other way to say it.

And sure enough, it instantly made her giddy to the point that she started squirming.

Paying no heed to it, I resumed what I was doing. As my lips captured hers once more, my hands slipped inside her clothes, touching her directly.

She has smooth skin yet a very well-toned body. Even though my hands slipped on them easily, her navel wasn't that squishy. Her muscles made it a little stiff and I could really trace her abs from there. Although not as emphasized as Ayu's, it's within the level of a physically fit person.

Little by little, my hands made their way up, dragging her clothes along them which gave my eyes access to see her bare skin.

Eguchi-sensei naturally reacted to that and tried to pull her shirt down. In response to that, I went ahead and started unbuttoning her shirt instead.

She issued a subdued yelp and lowered her gaze to see it. Following that, she threw me a questioning gaze that clearly demanded an answer.

I guess I'm really pushing it by not explaining my intent with it.

"It's so I can touch you directly, Ryouko-san. But if it's uncomfortable for you, I will stop." I said as I paused undoing the third button, the last button before the one confining her chest.

Eguchi-sensei alternately looked at my hands and my face that currently had a sincere expression before saying, "… It's not that I'm uncomfortable, I just… feel like you're about to cross a forbidden line, Onoda-kun. You said you're going to help me create new memories to replace those from my past… You were already successful with it when you kissed me. Anything more than that is…"

She lightly shook her head and bit her glistening lips.

I admit it was already more than necessary to touch her directly when the kiss alone was enough to take her mind away from the horrendous memories of her past. But then again, that didn't mean I already swept away those memories.

"Like I said, Ryouko-san. At the moment, I'm not your student. I don't mind crossing some lines because as soon as we step outside your door, this moment will just become a fleeting memory for us."

"That sounds terrible."

"It is terrible and I'm ready to be hated by you if it means I can help you overcome that trauma. Rather than hate on every male out there, you can simply focus it on me."

"No. Onoda-kun, I won't hate you… ever. Maybe I'll hate myself…"

"Uh. If that happens, it will mean my attempt to help you backfire terribly." I sighed and that affected Eguchi-sensei, who also released a rather depressing sigh.

I still had this temptation to kiss her and silence whatever was in our minds. However, with the mood going from great to terrible. I racked my brain to come up with something.

Unfortunately, nothing turned up. My options came down to two possible paths, push through with what I initially planned or stop at this point.

Looking at our situation, it feels like we're both being indecisive here. I didn't want to push her off the edge while Eguchi-sensei was torn between going with the flow and anchoring herself to what is morally acceptable in her book.

We both have to decide what we want here.

Seconds quickly passed. Using that time, I soon came to a decision.

First, I embraced her one more time and kissed her more intimately than earlier to get her full attention.

Once that's done, I opened my mouth, "Ryouko-san. This is me being completely honest with you… My plan to help you doesn't stop at kissing and replacing that terrible experience. I'm also going to do this…"

Halfway through that, I already lowered my head to her neck and began kissing it. And that's not all, my hands slipped inside her clothes again and found their way to her bountiful bosom, taking each side in my palms. With only her bra preventing me from touching them directly, I firmly grabbed them both with my thumbs accurately finding the bulge of her nipples, and pressed on them.

As the situation sank into Eguchi-sensei's mind, she looked at me with a very conflicted expression. But a second later, she started breathing heavily and her body quickly warmed up.

While biting a finger to prevent herself from issuing a moan, Eguchi-sensei replied, "… If… If I also have to be honest, I'm hoping for you to do this. I know how wrong it is but I've been longing for this ever since I found myself growing closer to you."

With that kind of confession that surely broke past the bubble of the situation and touched upon her deepest thoughts about me, I found myself turning that into a boost in my eagerness to deliver.

And so, as I started fondling her heavenly bosom, I returned to take her lips, locking her in a deeper kiss. My tongue also went to work on teaching her how to properly respond to it.

Not only that, but with our heads already in a mutual agreement about what we both wanted, I gradually laid her down on the sofa and positioned myself on top of her.

"Onoda-kun…" Eguchi-sensei affectionately whispered as her arms and legs locked me in her embrace.
