This Time, I'm the One Who Caught You~♥
"So you can't stop now. Not after we've come this far.♥"
Ryuah said it, and then her lips were on mine again.
Hot breath tangled between us, and the hands that had locked us together slid lower, searching, unhurried. Every time my fingers caught a fold of her clothes and peeled another layer away, whatever distance still lingered between us went with it.
A moment came when neither of us could even remember who had started it.

When I came back to myself, there was nothing left but clothes flung any which way across the floor, and the two of us standing naked, face to face.
We only looked. Quietly, at each other. At every inch of that small body that had protected me—the faint flush, the slender shoulders, the tiny hands, the trembling legs.
Lovely. I wanted to pull her into my arms that very second. I wanted to feel her warmth against mine. But the slightest movement felt as if it would be the trigger that snapped whatever reason I had left.
—thump♡ thump♡ thump♡
Ryuah's heartbeat seemed to pound right against my ear, and my breathing grew rougher still. There had been no words, and no touch at all, and yet I knew exactly what was about to happen. Strung tight between what I felt for her and what I wanted from her, a single thread of reason trembled, ready to break.
My lower half, swollen stiff. Ryuah's slick, tracing down her thighs. Neither of us hiding how long we had waited.
—snap!
The thread that had held finally gave. Complicated thought vanished, and only the instinct that wanted the other remained.
I wanted to take her. To tangle together. To become one.
—chuup♡ mm♡ mm♡
Tongues tangled first in a sticky kiss, and like starving animals we greedily learned the taste of each other. Bare skin met bare skin and clung, as if we had already fused and could not come apart. Hands with nowhere left to go would start to push away, then haul the other back in. Pleasure kept coming, and Ryuah's fingertips dug into my back.
"Ah♥ A-ah...♥"
With the moan her body jerked, and she scored scratches down my back. In the instant the pain bloomed into pleasure, even a Ryuah like that was lovely.
My lips left hers for the line of her jaw, and from her jaw they traveled down the slender column of her neck. I set my mouth there and sucked, leaving a mark as if to say she was mine, and Ryuah's head tipped back. Pleasure past the threshold—and still my lips didn't stop. They climbed a little higher until they reached her ear. The breath that whispered love brushed her ear and tapped at every nerve, as if to tickle them awake.
"Heh... haaah.... hah....♥ Inkyu... my body's feeling strange..♥"
Her words said one thing. Her arms said another, tightening around me all the harder.
—peck.
The moment I carefully met the lips coming toward me, the strength ran out of Ryuah's whole body, as if someone had cut the power.
"Ryuah..?"
No answer.
I caught her around the waist in time, so she didn't fall. But the flushed face from a moment ago was gone, and her unfocused eyes wandered the empty air. Inside a body hot as a live coal, her heart was racing fast enough to frighten me.
No matter how I looked at her, the Ryuah collapsed in my arms was Male Over-Contact Syndrome.
The one thing I didn't want was to watch someone who had just been in my arms go wrong, so I sent Teacher Noh a message.
"Think. I have to think... the things Teacher Noh said..."
First I laid her carefully on the bed.
"The body heats up, but it cools fast, she said. Keep her warm..."
I drew the blanket over Ryuah's naked body, and still afraid she might be cold, I slipped in beside her and held her tight.
"Wake up, Ms. Ryuah..."
She was certainly breathing, but cold was the right word—chilly—and I pressed my own warmth into that body. Color crept back into her face little by little, and when she began to twitch, relief washed through me.
"Are you coming around?"
But I hadn't thought it through. Teacher Noh had told me to keep her warm. She had never once told me to pull her in skin to skin.
Ryuah, held against my chest, slowly lifted her head and met my eyes. Then she wrapped her arms around my back and whispered something.
"Got you...♥"
A voice that barely made it out.
"Ms. Ryuah, are you with me? Are you really all right?"
"Yes. I'm fine. I remember every bit of it♥"
As she answered, the light in Ryuah's eyes slowly changed.
Ryuah rose and bit my neck. Deeper than a kiss mark. She carved a brand that left no room for doubt.
The sudden move startled me, but on the outside it was unmistakably her. Only the eyes watching me were nothing like the Ryuah I had known until now. The patience she had swallowed as my protection officer was gone. So was the desire she had held down for fear of frightening me.
"I want to feel more of you, Inkyu♥"
Then she shoved me down and climbed onto my stomach. My body heated in an instant, and the slick that had been running down her thighs smeared wet and messy over me.
"Nn...♥ Mmh...♥"
She rocked back and forth for nothing but pleasure, grinding her bud against me. Maybe it was her scent, thickening by the second—my lower half swelled like mad, and the reason that had briefly come back couldn't last even one second before it started to go.
"I waited, you know♥"
A voice stripped down to nothing but sex, and my whole body seemed to answer it.
"Hurry~♥ Or should I just do it myself?♥"
Looking down at me, she reached between her own legs and seized me there.
"Then~♥ that means you're the one who asked me to, Inkyu~♥"
—press.
She lifted her hips just a little and fitted the head of my cock into her pussy.
"All right then. Do your best to hold out~♥"

Short strokes, up and down, teasing only the head, and the pleasure made my hips jerk.
"How is it?♥ How is it?♥"
Irritating, and cute, and I had no room left to indulge her.
—grab.
"Nn..♥ Honey?"
Of course this Ryuah was cute too. Lovable, even. But that mean little intent—the one calculated to drive me out of my mind—I decided I would match her all the way.
Just the way Ryuah wanted. A little sadistic, at that.
—thrust.
"Hhk... ngh..♥"
I caught the little devil's waist, the one rocking on top of me, and slammed her straight down. I raked through every slick fold without mercy and made her take all of me.
Ryuah, filled completely. Maybe she had taken in too much stimulation at once; her whole twitching body went into small spasms. She pushed at me with her hands, trying to climb off the man beneath her, but even lifting herself seemed beyond her, and she couldn't get free. She thrashed a few more times. In the end her upper body gave out and collapsed onto me, and through the tangle of her hair a face soaked in pleasure lay completely bare.
"S-stooop♥ I'm sowwy...♥ I was baaad..♥"
But I didn't let go. I held her tighter.
Whenever Ryuah wrung out what strength she had left and tried to lift her hips free, I rose with her. When pleasure made her bite me, I took it. A stubborn wooing that followed even when she pushed me away—and little by little, Ryuah let the tension go and accepted my rhythm.
—lick, lick.
The mouth that had been biting my shoulder slowly stilled, and she licked the wound she herself had left. The woman who had been like an unbroken beast. Tenderly, now.
"...I'm sorry.. That wasn't like me.."
I smiled as if to say she was cute, and gave her no answer. Still joined, we looked at each other, and I confirmed that the Ryuah I knew had come back.
And so I laid Ryuah, sitting astride me, down on the bed. I set a pillow beneath the small of her back, and this time I was the one who spoke.
"Then it's my turn again, isn't it?"
—gulp♡
At those words Ryuah swallowed, as if she already knew what was coming.
I dragged slowly back out, scraping the tight flesh of her pussy, and a small moan slipped from her.
"Nnah..♥"
Exactly as far as the little devil had tormented me. Only that length, drawn out. I gave the woman watching me a gentle smile, as if to tell her it was all right, set both hands on her narrow waist, and pushed back in slowly, as if to weigh along her walls.
"Hhk..♥ Hh..♥"
I checked her reaction, then slowly drew out again.
—squelch♡ squelch♡ squelch♡ squelch♡
I repeated it. Until she was satisfied.
"Ah♥ Ah♥ Aht♥ Ah♥ Nn..♥ Kiss... kiss meee♥ Pleaaase..♥"
Even shaping the words seemed to cost her. Her tongue had melted.
"Don't wanna... be alooone..♥"
I listened to her, and I didn't stop moving.
"Were you lonely? My Ryuah~?"
"Yeesss..♥"
—chuup.
Even lying down she lifted her head and offered her tongue to me. Completely spoiled. It wasn't a proper kiss, tongues fully tangled, but joined above and below I could feel that she didn't want to come away from me.
"S'good♥ S'good...♥ I love you♥ Mmh..♥"
Even as I kept driving into her she seemed to want this and that besides. She spread both arms, and I held her again. Deeper. I held her hard enough to bear down on the mouth of her womb, and rocked my hips once more.
"Haah..♥ Eh...♥ Come inside.. come inside meee...♥ Ohh..♥"
A small wave that started in her womb seemed to spread through her whole body. I felt Ryuah clench in sequence. The fingertips wrapped around my back curled tight, and the legs she had lifted wound hard around my waist, as if we both wanted to reach the end where we felt good together. At the sight of her holding on with everything she had, I drove faster.
"Ehh... hah...♥ S'good....♥ S'good...♥ Mmh... s'good...♥"
The peak.
Whether she had felt the twitch kicking up from my core, we went over together, matched to it. Trembling thighs. Bucking hips. The fluids of the two of us, both shivering, mixed and seeped into her.
—pop♡
Ryuah's pussy didn't seem to want to let me go either. It held my cock to the very end, and I had to put a little force into pulling free.
"Ahh♥"
Still sunk in the afterglow, she twitched once more.
I lay down beside her, drew her in, and pressed a light kiss to her forehead.
How long had we lain there, holding each other?
Ryuah had the blanket pulled up over her face, and I spoke first.
"Was it good?"
"Yes.. too good..♥"
"If my Ryuah-honey liked it, then I like it too~"
"Don't tease me.. I'm a little embarrassed.."
"Why? You're nothing but cute."
"I just feel like I wasn't very ladylike.."
Not ladylike. For a second my head went blank.
So, by the common sense I knew... that was what it felt like for a man to be led by a woman. And I liked that kind of thing, didn't I...?
"Thank you for telling me honestly, Ryuah-honey."
"......"
"But I like that Ryuah, too."
We made small talk, and I breathed in the scent of Ryuah, who had turned her back and curled into my arms.
—sniff.
"There's something I'm curious about."
"What are you about to say while smelling my sweat."
"You do wear perfume, right?"
"No? Do I smell?"
Afraid she might, Ryuah lifted one arm and checked her armpit. The sight was, how should I put it... a little obscene. Strength gathered in the part of me resting against her backside.
"W-wait.. Inkyu, please calm down."
She must have felt it. Ryuah's voice went urgent.
"Should we go one more time?"
I stated the objective outright and didn't give her a second of room.
"I like you so much, Inkyu.. But twice might be too much, stamina-wise.. And it feels strange, like I'm not quite myself.."
"....I think that might hurt my feelings.. Ryuah-honey.."
At her words I put on a deliberately sad face. Seeing me like that, Ryuah didn't know what to do with herself, and I loosened the arm around her, making as if to leave.
"I'm sorry! It's not that I don't want to, today is just really too much.."
"I'm kidding~"
—chomp.
A little miffed, she bit the arm that had been holding her.
"Guess I'll have to wear long sleeves.."
I was going to anyway, what with the kiss marks stamped all over me and the scratches she'd raked here and there. Unlike me, Ryuah had maybe a kiss mark on her neck. A man's scars are as good as medals, after all.
"Um, Inkyu.."
"When it's just the two of us, call me honey, 'kay~"
"Honey.."
Ryuah held up the phone in her hand and showed me the KakaoTalk window. Messages from Teacher Noh.
"Ah.. oh no..."
When she'd collapsed from Male Over-Contact Syndrome, I'd fired off a quick message... and forgotten all about it. My own chat was the bigger problem.
"Uh.. they said they recorded it... I think we'd better grab breakfast and head to the center.."
Ryuah let out a long, flat sigh. The air went cool, and for a second I thought I could see the little devil from earlier.
"Take it off."
"...What?"
"No. Get it up. I'm annoyed."
So I was the one she'd decided to take it out on.
"Ryuah... be gentle with me.."
She was smiling at my words, for the moment. But pinned beneath her, with nothing to do but whimper and whine♥, I had already been reduced to a single male dog.
