Haruto knocked on Akiko's door, heart heavy. When she opened it, she pulled him into a warm embrace.
"Oh, I knew you'd come find me," she teased, her playful smile easing his guilt. Her arms felt like home, and for the first time in days, he breathed easy. The door closed softly behind them.
Haruto's hands gently cupped Akiko's face, his gaze an intense, searching question. Akiko's eyes fluttered shut, unable to meet the burning intensity of his stare, and in that fragile moment, Haruto leaned in, his lips finding hers with a tender urgency.
A wave of searing warmth enveloped Akiko as their mouths met, a soft, involuntary moan escaping her lips as her legs threatened to buckle beneath her.
Haruto pulled her closer still, deepening the kiss into a consuming inferno. She felt herself dissolve into the sensation, utterly lost in the embrace. His tongue, a playful serpent, expertly parted her lips and teeth, teasing hers with an exquisite dance.
