Tell me your story
After revealing everything in her mind, Ayu gently closed her eyes and pulled me down to her side. Using my arms as her pillow, she asked me to hold her tightly, enough for the entirety of her body to be wrapped inside my arms.
Unlike the previous times when she was either influenced by her fever or tempted by me, this one was more on the side of wholesomeness. Ayu spoke about how she always wanted to feel this secure in the arms of the man she would fall in love with. At the same time, this was also her way to calm her burning emotions down.
In fact, just from her expression, Ayu was holding herself back from pouncing at me. We still have other plans, after all. We could pick up on that later.
I could’ve responded to what she just revealed. However, Ayu prevented me from doing so by gently shaking her head. Even without words, I understood her intention.
