Chapter 28: Rika's Turn – The Storm That's Been Waiting to Explode

Rika never asked for permission.

She took.

And tonight, the rooftop belonged to her.

No warnings. No sweet notes.

Just a single message sent to Yuu's phone.

> "Come up. Now. I'm done waiting."

He felt it before he saw her.

The heat. The fire. The storm.

The Rooftop in Red

When he opened the rooftop door, the wind hit hard—but not as hard as Rika.

She stood at the center in a deep crimson camisole—thin as air, short as sin, straps slipping from her shoulders. Her hair whipped around her face like a lioness unchained.

And her eyes?

Burning.

"You made me wait long enough," she said, stepping toward him.

Yuu could barely get a word out before she slammed him back against the wall—fists gripping his shirt.

"Do you know what it's like to love someone so hard it hurts?" she demanded. "To watch him touch everyone else, kiss everyone else, while I burn alone?"

Yuu blinked, stunned. "Rika—"

Her lips silenced him.

Fierce. Wet. Angry. Needy.

The Girl Behind the Rage

When the kiss broke, her voice cracked.

Not with anger.

But with something more raw.

"I'm not strong, you know," she whispered. "Everyone thinks I am. But I'm not. I'm scared. Scared of not being enough."

Yuu's hands found her waist instinctively.

"You are."

"No," she snapped, her voice trembling. "Don't say that unless you mean it."

"I do. Every word."

And then—she broke.

Not down. Not apart.

But open.

Wild Love, Unleashed

The kiss that followed was mutual.

Desperate. Breathless.

She tugged off his jacket, then yanked off her camisole with one hand—completely bare to the moonlight. Her body was wild beauty—taut muscle, soft curves, skin like fire to the touch.

Yuu's breath caught.

But Rika didn't let him hesitate.

She pushed him down onto the soft rooftop mats she'd laid—rough blankets, no frills. This wasn't about fantasy.

This was real.

She straddled him, eyes locked on his, her hips grinding slowly, testing his limits.

"Touch me," she growled. "All of me. I'm not afraid anymore."

Yuu's hands obeyed—sliding up her thighs, gripping her hips, exploring the line of her waist, then up to her chest.

Her head tilted back, mouth open, a low moan escaping her throat.

"Harder," she begged. "I've been waiting."

Her Cries in the Wind

Rika wasn't soft like Kozue.

She wasn't playful like Yuzu.

She wasn't composed like Aya.

She was fire—biting her lip as their bodies clashed, gasping into his ear as he kissed down her stomach, trembling when his tongue found her most sensitive spots.

"You're driving me insane," she groaned, clutching his hair. "I want you so bad it hurts."

Yuu flipped her gently, pinning her down—mouth on hers, hands roaming everywhere, their bodies pressed tighter than ever before.

Their moans were loud.

Unapologetic.

And when she whispered, "I love you," it wasn't delicate.

It was feral.

Like it had clawed its way from her soul.

The Storm Settles

After, they lay side by side, her body still trembling, chest rising and falling fast.

Her voice was quiet now.

"You… you really saw me tonight," she whispered.

"I always did," Yuu replied, brushing the hair from her face.

"No, Yuu. Tonight you didn't just see me. You touched the part I hide from everyone. And you didn't run."

She curled into him, naked under the stars, skin flushed from heat and honesty.

"I don't care who else you hold," she said. "But just once, tell me you felt me tonight."

He pulled her closer.

"I felt all of you, Rika."

And for the first time in a long time…

The storm slept peacefully.
