Chapter 2139: Closing the curtains

Minutes later, Fuyu is the first one among the four girls to fall asleep. No matter how high her stamina is, climaxing multiple times earlier can still hit her with fatigue. It's already amazing that she lasted this long without showing signs of it in her face.

As soon as she got her ideal position at my side, she snuggled to my side with my arm securing her.

Eri next to her looked on enviously but she didn't do anything crazy again. She just smiled at me and said goodnight before turning to face the other side. Not long after, my new 'girl best friend also fell asleep.

On my right, Akane was still biding her time and Futaba was lying on her back, staring straight at our ceiling. She was probably ruminating about the things that happened tonight.

I had no plans on disturbing her so I simply brought my focus back to my silly wife whose hand was already moving down to my lower body.

She's not going for what's in my pants yet. She still has at least a bit of proper decorum considering not everyone in the room is my girl. No matter how much I've gotten close to the other two thanks to the various events that happened tonight, they're still not my girl.

She still had this bit of possessiveness that she would only display to those not part of our complex relationship.

That's why I trust that she's not going to do anything while Futaba has yet to fall asleep.

Bringing up the possible scenario of the bed shaking in the middle of the night earlier is naturally just Akane playing around. We still have our common sense intact. Even if we end up doing it... we'll ensure not to disturb them from their sleep.

I mean, we can also decide not to do it tonight and wait for the morning instead. Or so I want to say that. But just being this close to each other already ignited our excitable and inexhaustible desire.

So yeah. Unless we fall asleep while waiting, we'll still do it later.

"Husband, how is this sleepover for you? Have you enjoyed this?"

After a while, Akane brought up those questions in a whisper. She's genuinely curious about what I think of this night.

Last night when we talked about this sleepover, I told them that it was fine to set me aside for tonight. This should be about their group, after all. Including me in it seemed inappropriate. Not to mention, I'm a guy.

But lo and behold. The result still turned out like this. I joined them as the fifth member of their sleepover party.

If someone's to blame for it... I guess I'll point at myself again. I could easily reject their proposal to bring me here with them but what did I choose? I accepted knowing the implications.

So, if anything, even if Akane had a hand in it, the final decision hinged on me.

After contemplating for a while, I answered while caressing her smooth golden hair and staring into her beautiful deep-red eyes.

"Mhm... I enjoyed it. But if you ask me to list what makes me think that... I can't help but notice that you're putting yourself on the sidelines. Apart from the kisses we shared during the game, it feels like you're letting them interact with me more. I could understand that you did it for Fuyu but... you also sent Eri to me."

That's not a complaint. I'm just telling her my observations. After getting her win against me, she immediately moved to the kitchen, leaving me behind to entertain the other girls. There's also Fuyu with us. But when the girl also joined Akane after our short moment in this room, I couldn't bring myself to excuse myself from the two.

I saw them as our guests, after all.

"Is that how it appears to you, husband? Hmm... Yes. It can be taken that way if I'm in your shoes," Akane pursed her lips in response. Judging from the way her eyes remained steady, she's not lying. She didn't intentionally set all that up. "Eri was troubled and I wanted to help her too. I knew the limits of my experience and ability. Knowing that I couldn't give her a proper answer about what's troubling her, I sent her to you."

For others that might sound like she's trying to make an excuse by giving that explanation.

But this is Akane we're talking about... Despite her own obsession with me and her push for Fuyu's affection for me to blow up, she wouldn't deliberately send her friends to me like a fish to the mouth of an alligator.

"Mhm. I understand. You may be quite devious but my wife isn't a malicious girl who'll do that to her friends. Just that, it resulted in Futaba also coming down to consult me." Right. Akane can still be a bit naive, after all. Most of her life is spent chasing after me. I became her number-one priority. It's not weird to think that there are times she'll still display this kind of side of her. I mean, I'm also guilty of it. No matter how much the adults around us call me mature, I'm still immature at times. There are too many examples of those instances. If I list them, it'll take a long time.

"Ah... It's because you've shown your amazing ability, husband."

Yeah. That's on me. If I didn't impress Eri so much, Futaba wouldn't come down to consult with me as well. But well, the tickle also made an impression on her so... I might be wrong about this one.

"But you're right. I unconsciously set myself aside... Husband, I also wanted you to enjoy this night. Did I do it excessively?" asked Akane.

Observing her current expression, that's truly a genuine question. She could really set aside everything else just for me, after all.

"Well, it won't be wrong to say yes but you're not the only one at fault here. Your shameless husband here cannot say no to them as well. So, I say we just drop this gloomy topic here and accept reality instead. Going back to your first question... I enjoyed this night... You and Fuyu made it special for me... Also, I guess I have to thank Eri and Futaba too... even if the former became a little too attached to me."

I put on a helpless smile that instantly infected my silly wife.

She drew silent giggles and squeezed my face.

"Yes... It's also enjoyable to me because of you, husband. In my opinion, you're the one who made this really special."

"Stop praising me. But I hope it's also the same for them. Tomorrow, let's prepare a feast for them before I send you all to school. Futaba needs more sugar."

"Bad husband. She's still awake. If she hears you, you're going to bicker with her again."

"No... She's already asleep."

That's right. Although I was focused on our conversation, I kept an eye out for the girl not far from us. I could already hear her silent snores.

Of course, she could've just faked that but what good would that do?

They're tired and it's already late in the night. For sure, this is already way past their bedtime. Once they get sent to their dreamland, it'll be hard to wake them up again. Unless they're light

sleepers.

Akane looked behind her and then silently laughed again. After that, my silly wife turned to face me again, her lips easily catching mine.

With her overflowing affection filling up my body I couldn't help but respond to her.

And there, we gradually get taken into our usual mood.

With the thick blanket covering us, our subtle movements would be undetected just like last night. Still, with Fuyu also sticking so close to me with her legs tightly wrapped around one of mine, we have to minimize our movements.

That's not going to stop our desire for each other though. If we managed to do it last night... nothing's going to stop us tonight.

Well, of course. We have to be a little considerate of them... We can just take it easy this time, we're not running out of chances anyway.

A minute or so later, Akane, who had more freedom to move once again disappeared inside our blanket before her head reappeared on my chest after she successfully returned to her rightful position on top of me.

If Eri sees this, she'll probably pout and say, "See that? Akane is going to sleep on top of you, Ruki. I should've chosen that side."
