Stealing Spree

Chapter 2152: Reassuring Marika

As always, the moment we found our place and settled down, we threw caution to the wind and capitalized on another opportunity to be all over each other. With kisses as the minimum, we spent the first ten minutes of our ride conveying our ever-growing affection to each other.

Unlike yesterday, the bus quickly filled up. Those running to catch the bus and reach their school or workplace on time climbed up from each bus stop.

With passengers around us, the risk of being caught doing something indecent was higher. But even then, that didn’t really stop both Marika and me from doting on each other. We just had to be extra careful to avoid being caught.

With Marika seated in the window seat again, she was pretty much covered by my body while she was snuggled from my side.

Taking the obscured angle as her opportunity, Marika put on an impish smile as her hand sneakily traveled down from my chest to the top of my pants and eventually found her way in by opening my zipper.

Well, I could’ve stopped her at the first sign but I didn’t. I became complicit because like her my hand that was originally wrapped around her waist found itself creeping inside her uniform, feeling up her flawless, smooth skin.

To somehow hide our decency from those who could possibly catch us, I swiftly put my school bag on my lap, covering her naughty hand and blocking the view from those seated on the other side and other passengers walking down the aisle.

My golden ringlet girl firmly grabbed and stroked my length until it became fully erect, looking like it was about to burst out of my pants.

On the other hand, I settled myself just caressing her smooth navel as I loved hearing her soft giggles from being tickled by my touch.

Quite the contrast but it was also within my limit anyway. I had no plans of showing Marika’s vulnerable side to other people – especially on a crowded bus like this.

And I also exhibited the same stance during the other cases with my girls.

I always ensured that if we were ever going to do something more intimate in this space, it’d be when it’s almost guaranteed that we wouldn’t be caught.

In any case, Marika also understood it. That’s why even though she was extremely tempted to pull it out of my pants, the golden ringlet girl settled to just feeling it up from within its confines.

We compensated each other by sharing more kisses and continuing to whisper our affection and desire for each other.

“Ruki-kun, do you think I’m becoming… indecent?” Marika asked, her voice carrying a hint of playful curiosity.

She brought up the question a few minutes after we decided to put a stop to our little risky endeavor on this crowded bus.

My hand returned to resting intimately on her waist, and Marika cuddled closer, enjoying the warmth of my embrace.

Her question clearly came from a moment of introspection. She was aware of the changes in herself, especially the daring things she did whenever she was with me.

“A little. However, I don’t see it as a bad thing. Do you?”

I didn’t mince words with my response.

She didn’t need to be told that it’s fine or she’s not indecent. She needed honesty. And knowing how I always do that for them, she knew she wasn’t going to be disappointed by my response.

Marika raised her head to meet my gaze and smiled brightly. “No, I don’t think so. I’m like this because you’re always so composed, Ruki-kun. Besides, I adore watching you blush and frown when I do these things with you.”

“You know you can still make me blush and frown without all of this, right?”

“I’m well aware. But why should I hold back when this is the quickest way? Besides, I do enjoy feeling your body’s reaction to my touch. Ruki-kun, perhaps your Marika is a bit of a naughty girl.”

“Oh? So, you’re admitting it now? But don’t worry. Even if you’re a naughty girl, I still love my Marika.” I reassured her with a gentle smile. “Don’t feel burdened by this change. Half of it is my fault, after all. So, I’ll take responsibility for turning you into a bad girl.”

“Hehe, you’re teasing me, Ruki-kun. If anything, you’ve always reminded me whenever I’m about to do something different from before. Your influence has nothing to do with my choices. I have fallen for you of my own accord, and I’ve chosen to engage with you more intimately because it brings me joy… None of this is your responsibility.” Marika rebutted with a soft giggle, playfully poking my cheek to emphasize her point.

Well, she’s not wrong on that so it was my turn to be tongue-tied.

In the end, I could only respond to her with another kiss that we shamelessly shared even if another passenger who had just climbed up from the recent bus stop walked past us.

After this, we talked about other things, such as the news I heard from that bodyguard. The member of the Kujou Family who would be sent to deal with the deteriorating situation regarding her engagement to Ichihara Jun.

“I have yet to be informed, Ruki-kun. However, it has to be someone in favor of sending me here.” Marika answered my question of whether she was aware of that family member’s identity.

A frown formed on her face which lessened her earlier brightness. Naturally, I was quick to try and remedy it by caressing her cheek and tracing her wet lips that I was just sucking.

She’s still beautiful even with a frown but I didn’t want to put more burden in her mind. She’s already being pressured for their unavoidable intervention, after all.

“Someone in favor, huh? Should we expect them to try and force you to be with Ichihara Jun again?” I asked, a hint of concern in my voice.

“Yes… That may be their intention,” Marika replied with a determined smile. “But do not worry, Ruki-kun. I will not allow them to stop me from seeing you. You’ve taught me to value my choices, and I will honor that lesson. Even if it means standing against my own family, I

shall not falter.”

“How can I not worry, you silly girl? We need to think of some countermeasures, alright? We’re in this together, remember? I won’t let them dictate your life or decide who you should be with.”

Marika’s eyes softened as she looked at me with a gentle, affectionate gaze. “Yes, you’re right. My Ruki-kun is always by my side. Fufu… It gives me such strength. I promise to inform you the moment I learn anything more about their plans. But Ruki-kun, if for some reason I cannot reach out to you after they arrive, do not panic, alright? Your Marika has become quite resilient.”

“I understand. I promise I won’t panic,” I said with a reassuring nod. “However, that doesn’t mean I’ll just sit around and do nothing. If I sense something is wrong, I will do whatever it takes to understand your situation.”

Marika giggled softly, a melodious sound that brightened the atmosphere. “Hehe… I feel so cherished. This fluffy feeling warming my heart… It makes me wish I had met you sooner, Ruki-kun. I was too foolish to chase after Jun-kun.”

“It’s fine. Don’t put yourself down to it. You know I’m also not a good person before and at this present. I might have hurt you if we met before my change.”

Of course, despite saying that, Marika refused to believe that it would be the case. Her trust in

me has already fully formed that no matter how dark I perceived my past was, she’s only going to base it on the Ruki she got to know.

Just like this, although we continued on our topic, the bus gradually approached our

destination.
