Chapter 2335: Still won't admit
"Shameless brat, what are you still doing here? Don't you have a class to go to?"
That was Orimura-sensei's first words upon seeing me standing by her door. With crossed arms and her usual stern expression, she looked every bit of an authoritative figure. But by now, I could read the subtle softness in her tone, a sign that she wasn't entirely displeased by my presence.
Like Ryouko-san, she's in her tracksuit as she probably just finished a swimming class for a few of the second-year classes.
"I do, Orimura-sensei," I replied with a polite bow as I shamelessly stepped into her office, gently closing the door behind me.
"I thought I'd check in to see if you missed me or something. You know... We can't let a day pass without seeing each other, no?"
She raised an eyebrow, clearly skeptical of my intentions. "Missed you? Stop daydreaming, you brat. I'm surrounded by enough trouble in this school without you adding to it."
Despite the teasing edge to her voice, I could see the smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
"A shame. And here I was getting excited to say how much I missed you too." I feigned a pout making her look more exasperated.
"Stop being shameless and don't waste your time here. I get it. You missed me but that won't be enough to make me fall for you, understand?" She said, trying to maintain her stern exterior.
Her words were sharp, but I could see the faintest blush creeping up her cheeks. Despite all her attempts to remain aloof and untouchable, Orimura-sensei was far too human when it came to me.
"Got it, Sensei. But you know, I could just keep trying until it works." I grinned, stepping closer to her desk with deliberate slowness, testing the waters as usual.
Given the nature of our bet where either she's going to correct my path or I would make her fall for me, I should also start my offensive, not just during our intimate moment. After all, wasn't it my specialty to make a girl fall in love with me unknowingly?
"On a serious note, sensei. How did it go with Yuika-senpai? Did you find a solution to her problem?" I asked, my expression shifting from playful to genuinely concerned.
Although Yuika-senpai was there with us during lunch, I heard she had yet to talk to Orimura- sensei about her request to be exempted from the swimming classes. This was also one of the reasons why I wanted to visit Orimura-sensei regardless of the time constraint.
Orimura-sensei exhaled softly, her stern demeanor softening just a bit as she spoke about Yuika-senpai. “She hasn't approached me directly, but I didn't forget about what you asked yesterday. I'll make sure to address them before her class tomorrow. If she's that anxious to be seen, it's better to handle it discreetly and professionally. Leave it to me."
"Mhm. I knew I could count on you, sensei. And I know she'll appreciate it. She's kind of an introvert to ask you herself, especially since you're, well... you."
Orimura-sensei raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed by my wording. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing bad, of course," I chuckled as I raised both of my hands, "It's just that you have this aura about you. Although not as aloof as how Ryouko-san used to be, your presence was overwhelming to some. People tend to think twice before speaking up. But it's not a bad thing -it shows your authority. And, to be honest, I kind of like it."
I heard her clicking her tongue but at the same time, she failed to hide the small smirk
tugging at her lips despite her effort to maintain a composed expression.
"Flattery won't get you anywhere, Onoda. You're still the same shameless brat."
"I'd argue it's working a little," I playfully said as I pointed at her. "You're smiling."
With that, Orimura-sensei's cheeks became tinged in pink which she quickly masked by clearing her throat.
"Enough of this nonsense. Don't you have a class to get to? How long are you going to stay here? Are you waiting for me to kiss you?"
"Well, that's not within my plan but I'll take it if you're going to give it to me, sensei" I retorted cheekily as I pretended to take a step closer to her.
"Y-you brat. Stop being so shameless!" She stuttered as she looked like she was retreating one step at a time.
I didn't miss the way her eyes flickered down to my lips and it was enough for my boldness to crank up a notch.
Before she could react, I zeroed out our distance. But Orimura-sensei continued retreating until she couldn't anymore.
With her back against the wall, I placed my hands on either side, caging her in.
"Orimura-sensei, I know you're a strong and independent woman but even you can't deny the connection we have. And didn't I tell you before? I will also give it my all to make you mine." I whispered as one of my arms hooked around her hips.
With that, I didn't wait for her to respond and leaned in for a kiss. To my surprise, she didn't pull away. Instead, she closed her eyes and parted her lips slightly, giving me the invitation I needed.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, before our lips pressed against each other, she silently muttered, "... I also said I'll make you mine, brat."
Her sudden boldness took me aback for a second before she leaned in and captured my lips in a fiery kiss, her tongue invading my mouth with an intensity that sent shivers down my spine. Her hands reached up to wrap around my neck, locking my head to prevent me from pulling away.
This lasted for at least a minute before her lock loosened slightly, allowing me to pull away for a moment.
A string of saliva connected us briefly before breaking as we tucked our tongues back in our mouths.
"Sensei, are you still not going to admit how you're developing feelings for me?"
"Never. This... This is all for the sake of correcting your debauched ways, Onoda," Orimura- sensei replied, her voice low and slightly breathless. She was doing her best to maintain her professional facade. However, the flush on her cheeks and the pleasant glint in her eyes
betrayed her.
That answer from her prompted me to take her lips again, this time more aggressively. She didn't resist. Instead, she responded with a passion that was more intense than the previous one. Our tongues hungrily tugged at each other as we took turns sucking. At the same time, our grip on each other tightened.
Just like this, another few minutes passed, only stopping when we ran out of breath. With the time already counting down on me, we concluded our meeting with one last kiss before Orimura-sensei kicked me out of her office. She pushed on my back, hiding the crimson state of her face.
