Getting ready (2/4)

Lillith opened the door, peeked out, and locked eyes with both of them. "William, leave her alone. I've teased her enough for a while. And Rika, do you actually mean what you said, because..."

Lillith's expression shifted to one of concern, tears glistening in her eyes. "No, I didn't mean it that way, so there's no need to worry. We've been together for so long; why would a small thing like that come between us?" Lillith let out a sigh. "Okay, but please spare my brother from unnecessary distress, especially if it involves thoughts of us parting ways. I get worried easily." Rika noticed a tear forming in Lillith's eye. "I promise, I won't," Rika responded softly, her voice laced with sincerity. "I'm sorry for causing you worry, Lillith. I'll be more careful with my words from now on."

Lillith managed a weak smile, appreciating Rika's understanding. She reached out and gently wiped away the tear that had escaped her eye. "Thank you, Rika. I know you didn't mean any harm, but my anxiety sometimes gets the best of me," she admitted, her voice wavering. Rika nodded, feeling a heavy weight of guilt. She never wanted to be the cause of Lillith's distress, especially considering the depth of their relationship. "Honestly, Lillith, we've been together so long that imagining life without you is almost impossible, let alone considering being with someone else." Lillith smiled and motioned for Rika to step inside. As Rika entered, she was enveloped in the familiar warmth and comfort that Lillith's presence always brought. It was a reminder of the unbreakable bond they shared, assuring her that they would always stand by each other's side, no matter the circumstances.

Lillith then turned her attention to William, who was attempting to act nonchalant. "William, go watch TV or something; it's going to take us a while to pack and get ready. So, go find something to do that won't annoy my Rika or involve eavesdropping!" Rika cast a sympathetic glance at William as he awkwardly shuffled away. She understood that Lillith's protective nature could sometimes come across as harsh, but it was another testament to the fierce loyalty they had for one another. "Hey, Lil... I'm already packed; I just need to change clothes."

"Likewise, I just didn't want you two fighting. You guys are the only people I care about, and I want you to get along... Also, I wanted to do something with you." Lillith started to fidget, her fingers pressing together nervously. Rika's face began to redden. "Right now? But your brother is in the other room." Lillith nodded, her eyes darting towards the closed door. "I know, but he won't mind. Besides, he interrupted us earlier before we could do it, and we'll be done before he even notices." Rika hesitated for a moment before finally giving in to Lillith's eager expression. "Alright, let's do it then. But we have to be finished quickly."

Lillith smiled, relieved that Rika had agreed. "Don't worry, I've already set everything up. It'll be over before you know it." Rika took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves. "Okay, let's make it quick and discreet." Lillith took hold of Rika's hand and led her towards their bed. "Wait, Lil, shouldn't we get undressed so we can, you know...?" Lillith looked at Rika for a few moments, considering "Yeah, sure, it would be more comfortable."

Rika nodded, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. As they undressed, Lillith whispered reassurances, reminding Rika that they were in this together. With their clothes off, they climbed into bed, ready to embark on their intimate adventure. The room was charged with anticipation as they lay side by side, their bodies just inches apart. Lillith reached out and gently brushed her fingers against Rika's cheek, sending a shiver of delight through her. Lillith leaned in and passionately kissed Rika, exchanging her emotions for desire and lust.

After Lillith ended the kiss that Rika didn't want to end, she wrapped her arms around Rika, pressing their naked bodies together. Due to their height difference, Lillith's face ended up nestled between Rika's breasts, a position neither of them seemed to mind. Lillith's eyes peeked out from their cozy spot, and she muffled, "I love you, Rika." She held Rika closer, causing a soft whimper to escape Rika. Rika sighed before meeting Lillith's gaze. "I love you too, but your brother is waiting. You said we'd be quick, but we haven't even started yet." Lillith looked at Rika with a puzzled expression before gently lifting her body so they were face-to-face.

"What do you mean by 'We haven't even started yet'? We already did... Oh, you thought..." Lillith's realization made her giggle. "So that's what you thought. You thought I wanted to have sex? No, I just wanted to cuddle like we usually do afterwards. I was genuinely upset that he interrupted us, but I was even more upset that we weren't able to have our after-care cuddles, something I always look forward to." Rika's expression softened as she realized her misunderstanding. She brushed Lillith's hair away from her face and whispered, "Oh... My bad, I didn't realize you enjoyed our cuddle sessions. Let's make sure nothing interrupts us next time, alright?"

"Yeah. Now, no more talking, more cuddling, and more 'caring'." Lillith leaned in to softly kiss Rika's lips before trailing kisses down to her neck. Lillith began to open her mouth as if to nibble Rika's neck, but then paused and looked up at her. "I'm always taking care of you afterward; when will you take care of me?" Without hesitation, Rika blurted out her answer. "Tonight." Rika's swift response caused Lillith's cheeks to flush. "Oh, okay, I'll look forward to it." Rika smiled and gently caressed Lillith's cheek. "I promise, tonight will be all about you. I want to show you just how much I care." Rika's gentle smile transformed into a mischievous grin. She pulled Lillith closer, wrapped her arms around her, and whispered, "I promise to make it unforgettable." Lillith's blush deepened as she pulled away.

"I th-think we should finish getting ready now." Just as Lillith slipped out of Rika's embrace, she hurried towards the bathroom. Rika's lips curled into a smirk as she chuckled at Lillith's reaction. "And here, I thought you only got shy in public. It turns out that the shy personality you had when we were younger and the one you've shown in public are still there. I just have to press the right buttons to bring it out. Noted." Rika leaned against the headboard of the bed, her eyes sparkling mischievously. "But don't worry, I won't push those buttons too often," she said playfully. Lillith's cheeks flushed even deeper as she closed the bathroom door behind her, secretly grateful for Rika's understanding.
