Chapter 31 - Kitchen worktop (R-18)

When the heart receipt message appeared in front of my eyes, Asia was still in my arms.

I was confused for a second, just a second really, because I soon realized that Asia wasn't really angry with me. It was something else that bothered her and made her pull away.

So even after the message popped up for me, I didn't let go of Asia's hug. I felt her warmth as I held her.

"Please don't think I meant any disrespect." My mouth was very close to one of her ears, so I almost whispered.

I felt her breathing start to stabilize, and her fingers lightly touched my arms, which were still wrapped around her.

"I know, Leo. It's not your fault. I was... caught up in the moment, too. But..."

She slowly turned around in my arms to face me. Her eyes glistened with tears in the corners, and there was a mixture of confusion and uncertainty in them.

"But what?"

"But... I'm confused," she admitted. "Part of me feels guilty about this. I don't think I should..."

I frowned. "Guilty? But why should you be?"

Asia looked away, staring at a spot on the kitchen floor. "Because of Rias."

This revelation surprised me. I hadn't expected her to mention Rias in this context.

"Rias? What does she have to do with this?"

Asia let out a heavy sigh and turned back to me. "I see the way you look at her, the way you worry about her. And... I don't want to intrude. I don't want to seem like I'm trying to... steal you away from her. You knew each other before you and I met."

I was silent for a moment, trying to organize my thoughts. The situation was more complicated than I had thought. On the one hand, I had feelings for Rias. She was important to me, a strong, magnetic presence who had been with me throughout my adolescence and whom I literally knew like the back of my hand. On the other hand, the same was true for Asia. She was sweet, caring, and had a special place in my heart as well, and I didn't want to leave her out or neglect her.

"Yes, I respect Rias very much. But that doesn't mean that you and I can't be close. I'm... not dating Rias. She's amazing, but I respect her like a servant respects his master."

"Really?"

I nodded, keeping my eyes on hers. "Yes. Asia, you're important to me. I want you to know that. I don't want you to feel like you're doing something wrong by feeling a little desire for me."

She didn't say anything for a moment, just stared at me with those big, expressive eyes. Then, slowly, a shy smile formed on her lips.

"You're... really serious, aren't you?"

"Yes. And... I really enjoyed our kiss. It was special for me. Every time I wake up with you by my side, it's special."

Asia blushed intensely, and the smile on her face grew. "I liked it too, Leo. I really enjoyed it. It was so... Kyah!" She put her hands to her face to hide her embarrassment.

I looked at Asia, who was still covering her face with her hands, and I couldn't help but feel a wave of tenderness for her. Not wanting to get hard again seeing her so cute, I let her go.

"Asia, you're amazing, you know that? Don't forget that." I said as I left the stove area and returned to the table.

She slowly lowered her hands from her face, revealing an even deeper blush on her cheeks. Her eyes, now free of tears, sparkled as she heard me say this. Loving words were something Asia Argento, an orphan raised in a church environment, had never heard. Love was different from the kindness of the nuns she had as colleagues.

"Leo, I want to try again."

I stopped and looked at her. "Try what, exactly?" I asked, practically teasing her.

She clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and called out boldly:

"I want to try to kiss you again! This time without guilt..."

My heart warmed when I heard those words. The sincerity in her eyes, the vulnerability in her voice, everything about her. Asia attracted me in so many ways. I turned and approached her.

"If we're going to do this, let me do it my way this time."

"I promise I won't stop you no matter what you do." She said with a sweet smile at the corner of her mouth.

"It's a promise. You can't go back on it."

So I grabbed her by the waist and sat her down on the kitchen counter. It was the only way we could be the same height.

Asia didn't back down, even after my boldest move. She wrapped both arms around my neck and pulled me close to her.

This time I didn't have to ask her if she was sure. It was natural. Our lips touched first, and then our tongues began to intertwine. As we kissed, I felt more confident to try a little harder. Asia reciprocated and moved forward, her fingers sliding around the back of my neck and pulling me gently. She was daring for someone I was only kissing for the second time.

In the heat of the moment, a slight movement of her waist made her realize that something was touching her stomach. She broke the kiss and looked down in surprise.

"Leo, I know I promised not to interrupt, but..."

Her eyes were crossed, staring at my penis sticking out from under the light pajama pants I was wearing. She looked up at me, her face as red as a cherry.

I was a little embarrassed. I hadn't reached the level of romantic experience where kissing didn't make me hard as a rock.

"Asia, that..."

She interrupted, shaking her head. "It's okay, Leo. I just... wasn't expecting it." She laughed nervously. "Actually, I was hoping it would happen again. I really want to help you this time."

I was surprised, but there was something in her voice, like a newfound confidence, that made me believe her.

"Go ahead."

I stepped back and placed both hands on the bench behind me, clearing the way for her to do whatever she wanted.

Asia got off the bench she was sitting on and knelt in front of me, her hands grasping the waistband of my pants. She carefully pulled them down. My penis was so erect that it cast a shadow over her face.

Asia had a more serious expression on her face, as if she was concentrating. Then she grabbed my penis with her small, delicate hands and began moving it up and down, exploring every inch with an almost childlike curiosity.

I closed my eyes and savored the sensation. Her hands were soft, without any calluses, and she was much more ungentlemanly than Akeno. Her awkward movements were almost as if she was learning and experimenting at the same time.

"Asia..."

She paused for a moment, worried. "Am I doing it right?"

"You're doing very well. Is this really your first time?"

At that moment, Asia's cheeks puffed out, and she completely exposed my glans all at once, pulling down hard on all the skin. My only reaction was to scream in pain and apologize.

"Ouch! Ouch! I'm kidding. It was just a joke."

Asia then stopped squeezing and started moving her hand up and down again. "Of course you're my first, Leo... I was a nun before I was a devil. I never even considered the possibility of doing it with someone else before I met you. It was you who showed me the truth of the Church and protected me as if your life depended on it. A-now, if you come, please..."

"Arww! I'm sorry, Asia, but I'll be right there..."

My words turned into an involuntary moan, and my whole body went rigid.

Asia, with her green eyes fixed on me, was looking straight into my eyes when I couldn't control myself anymore and came, spraying jets of cum all over her. The cum landed on her breasts and near her mouth and she blinked, a little surprised but not angry. Instead, a smile of relief appeared on her lips as she watched the warm liquid run down the skin of her neck and fall between her breasts.

It was an incredible contrast: the innocence of her face with the situation.

"Are you all right?" she asked, as worried as if coming hurt.

I leaned against the bench and tried to catch my breath. "Yes, Asia. I'm more than okay. Thanks for your help."

[You obtained 1 heart with Asia Argento.]

Finally, I had reached 5 hearts with someone, and it wasn't really difficult, I just had to manage the situations well. This meant that I was halfway to officially making Asia part of my harem as a wife, and it also meant that the chance of finally having sex with her was closer.

"Asia, what do you think about us..." I was about to say when Asia's phone on the counter started to ring. It was a simple phone that Rias had given Asia so that she could communicate normally with all of us.

Asia saw the name of the contact and said:

"Sorry Leo, this is Rias, I have to take this..."

"It's okay..." I said, but I was actually thinking, 'Of course, the classic phone call cliché. It's okay, system, I understand what you're trying to show me.'
