Stealing Spree

Chapter 2235: Spoiled Shio



The sun was already up high up in the sky when Akane and I stepped out of the house. We had a different destination, but I could still spare the time to escort her and see Fuyu and the others nearby before returning to meet up with Eimi and Shio.

My weekend supermarket date with Eimi was tomorrow but I could just stop by and see her in her house. I mean, after not meeting her last week, I already missed the girl.

Anzu-nee wasn't around when I showed up at their house, but Eimi told me she was also waiting for me until her friend called her up. I promised that girl to be the one she could rely on while she didn't have someone special yet. However, I haven't done anything to her ever since that day other than greet her during mornings and nights.

As for Shio, she was cleaning the apartment when I showed up with a newly baked bread from the nearby bakery.

As I expected, she hadn't eaten breakfast yet and her plan for lunch was to order a takeout.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

And so, I did my duty as her husband to cook lunch for her even if she protested that she should do it.

I've seen a new shelf and bookcase set up in the other room next to the bedroom. While she still couldn't get a collection at the other house, she's amassing more items from her hobby- - mostly light novels -- so she had to get those to store them.

"When do I help you get your things from that house, Shio? He's not coming back anymore, right? That house could be handed to you." I asked while I was cooking for her.

Shio paused her cleaning and answered with a complicated expression, "He is still on the run from authority. He has yet to truly be convicted. Our divorce is already approved but there's still some dispute on who gets the house. Without him, it will remain our joint asset. And honestly, Ruru, I don't want to return there yet. And neither should Nao."

Ah. I see. Although she told me about returning there recently, she probably still had second thoughts.

I nodded in understanding, "That's good to hear. But you know, Shio. I can do it for you. I can come there and haul your things. If I ask my parents, they'll surely provide me with help on transporting it."

"Ruru, I love you, but we'll deal with that together soon. No one's going to raid the house. My collection can stay there. Also, you saw how filled it was. I doubt they'd fit in that room." Shio looked at me with her face showing her surprise but also relief.

She then walked over to me, dropping the vacuum to hug me from behind. Good thing she did that when I finished shaking the pan

"... Well, I can get the cosplays." I silently murmured, which immediately earned me a poke on my cheek.

"Pervert Ruru. Now I get it. You wanna see me in them..." Shio said with a giggle as she turned my face towards her with her hand. "Should I make a new one? Ririka-chan can help me design and sew."

"I wouldn't say no to that... Should I bring her next time?"

"Look at you, your true colors are showing, Ruru." Shio let out a pleasant laughter as she hugged me tighter.

"Well, it's not like it's a secret anymore. Your Ruru is a pervert." I replied with a shrug, making her giggle even more. After that, she clung to me until I finished cooking.

And when I was about to serve it on her table, Shio acted spoiled, very much unlike her usual countenance in school. "Ruru, don't go yet, I need more of you."

This woman. I couldn't help but shake my head watching her act like this. But not in a negative context.

It feels pleasant.

She's always acting this adorable whenever we're in a private setting like this. Of course, I know all too well the reason for it. In school, we have to hide our relationship. She is holding back more than I do to let it spill especially when her divorce is still fresh in everyone's mind.

Spoiling me as her Student Assistant is already the limit when we're in a public space. Just like with Ryouko-san.

"I won't go anywhere. I have to make sure you're eating properly." I assured her the girl but in a playful tone.

And sure enough, Shio rode the tune as she tightened her arm around me and she acted innocently. "You sound like my mom, Ruru."

"My lovely Shio is acting spoiled. Isn't just normal to chide you? Or do you want me to feed you?" I winked at her, causing her to grin from ear to ear.

Then, her arms wrapped around my neck tightened and she pushed herself up before sensually whispering to my ear, "Yes. Feed me, Ruru~ Spoil me more. Here at the table and in bed..."

Hearing those words awakened something within me. My inexhaustible desire for her.

I couldn't help but lean in to give her a peck on the cheek before gently swatting her backside, "You're insatiable, Shio. But I can't refuse my wife, can I? Especially when you're acting so adorable."

"Yes, husband." Shio mischievously bit my lips - her way to get back at my slap. She then continued biting as if savoring the feeling of my lips even though we still regularly kiss at school.

Eventually, she took her seat at the other side of the dining table, watching me patiently and lovingly as I plated her meal with an extra serving of meat. I also opened a can of beer for her which I knew she regularly drinks when she's not working. It's kind of a refreshment for her just like how lemonade does it for Satsuki. Adult refreshments.

Teasingly, she asked me if I wanted to give it a taste but I naturally declined. But even though I did that, as soon as our kisses started, I still tasted the alcohol. It was intoxicating but rather than losing my reason, my desire for her just got amplified.

It's rare to have this moment like this with her so... I planned to savor this moment with her. As soon as she finished the meal, I wasted no second carrying her in my arms as we retreated into our bedroom, spoiling her as much as I could and vice versa.

It was also a long week for her so Shio deserved this and more... As her man, that's all on me.
