Chapter 931 My Beautiful Monster Part 32

AKANE

Toh nodded. "-and how he continues to hurt her even now."

So, it's exactly like what she thought after all.

"If she hasn't forgiven him, then why-" Akane paused. She didn't know how to phrase this without insulting Ibuki.

Toh chuckled as he continued to trace her lips with his thumb. Just this brief contact made her body heat up.

"That is between them. Why don't we start talking about more interesting topics?"

"More interesting?" Akane repeated. Her entire body felt like it would burn up. His hands had left her lips, and he was carefully tracing her neck, and then her breasts.

"Should we-" Toh seemed to struggle to ask her and she found that sweet. How can he struggle when he is openly seducing her like this?

Akane leaned forward and kissed his cheek. "If it's a casual thing, I don't mind. That felt good."

Toh chuckled.? "I'm glad. But what made you change your mind?"

'I can't tell him how I've been observing him since that time.'

It was almost like he understood, since he traced her lips. "Come see me tonight?"

Akane shuddered. She knew this was one promise that she would keep no matter what. When Mashima pinned her against the wall and kissed her. Finally, the unease she felt the past few days vanished.

This is wrong, but this also feels right.

________________________________

At Mashima's apartment.

RING. RING.

Akane wakes up to the sound of something ringing. She groggily opened her eyes and blinked. For a moment she didn't understand where she was. Her gaze fell on the pair of arms wrapped securely around her waist. It belonged to Mashima. Her face was buried in his chest. She didn't want to let go. How did they end up falling asleep like this? Her memory after arriving at Mashima's place was rather blurry.

She arrived, he was ready for her. They did a lot of kissing, at some point her clothes went off and she certainly remembers taking off his. Maybe she shouldn't have drunk so much before coming here. But, she felt nervous.

He has long eyelashes, when he sleeps like this, he looks childish. Akane's gaze softened when she realized his arms around her tightened. She giggled. So, he has a cute side.

She wants to learn more about this side of him. Now that they are casually seeing each other. Maybe she can see more sides of him now that they are casually seeing each other.

RING. RING. RING.

It didn't take long for her to realize that the sound came from her phone. Akane clicked the answer button.

"Mmm hello?"

"Akane!" A familiar voice squealed into the phone. "It's me! I've finally recovered. Oh I'm so excited. I can finally become a proper member of the company."

Despite her dazed state Akane immediately knew who was on the other end of the phone.

"Kanade?" Akane mumbled.

Kanade laughed. "Yes, it's me silly. Where are you? I thought you'd be at home but you're not. Oh, are you in the middle of a job? You're so lucky."

So loud, so noisy. Where does this enthusiasm come from when it's so early? Before she could reply. Toh reached over and took her phone from her.

"Put that away. It's still early. Let's continue sleeping."

Akane could only stare at his face. She felt her body heat up sensing his passionate gaze on her. It takes her a moment to realize that the blanket she had around her body had slipped. Mashima was examining the marks on her body, the marks from their intense love making last night.

"Nagawa Akane, are you with a guy?"

Akane sighed. "Why does that surprise you?"

She may find her sister annoying, but they are quite close. Kanade is one of the few who knew about her many one night stands. Akane was about to tell her that she was busy when Mashima buried his face between her legs. Oh gosh-

She ended the call quickly.

"Mashima, I-I need to leave." Akane stammered.

"It's early." Toh moved his lips to her inner thigh. "Besides, do you really want to stop this?"

Did she really want to stop this? Of course not. Akane managed to shake her head and Toh gave a low dark sensual chuckle.

"I have to say, last night went better than I thought."

She rolled her eyes. "Did you think I was all talk?"

"Perhaps. You keep your conquests quiet after all."

Akane shuddered when he licked her thigh. What's with that tongue of his? How does he make her body feel like burning up with simple touches and caresses?

She felt so embarrassed that she found herself rambling about stupid things over and over again. 'I feel like I am eighteen all over again.' But, even back during her first time she didn't feel this way.

'I've always subconsciously put a wall between myself and other guys. I sleep with them but I never let them go too far. I've never let a guy, enjoy my body the way Mashima is currently doing.'

Subconsciously, she must have been protecting herself. Mashima drew back and traced his lips, still coated in her-

"Akane."

Akane blinked hearing him use her first name. Before she knew it, she felt tears fall from her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Toh asked softly. She couldn't speak, instead more tears fell from her eyes. He leaned forward and licked her tears. "Akane, focus on me. It will be okay."

Words anybody could say and yet, she believes him. Even though she shouldn't.

___________________________

Akane doesn't know how long she? fell asleep. But, even when she woke up she felt light headed. 'I really have gone crazy, sleeping with Mashima Toh of all people. Last night aside, I should have just quietly left this morning. But now it's far too late.'

Her thoughts break off when she felt someone press a bottle against her cheek. "Are you okay with green tea?"

Akane nodded. "That'll do." She summoned enough strength to rise.

"Is your body in pain?"

"A little." Akane admitted. "I must admit I am impressed. Your better than I thought."

Toh laughed. "Want me to give you a massage later?"

"That sounds good." Akane said.

She feels sore all over. It's odd, she has had plenty of casual sexual relationships. But she has never woken up as sore as this.

"Who was on the phone earlier?" Toh asked.

Akane blinked, sensing the shift in his tone. Does he think it was a guy? Would that bother him? More importantly, does she want it to bother him?
