The kimono sat a little loose around her shoulders. From where Noah rested, the soft, huge curve of her breasts made it hard to see her face clearly. He didn't mind. Not at all.
He turned his head slightly and rubbed his cheek against her thigh. The firm warmth of her legs felt grounding and comforting at the same time.
"I wanted this for a while," he admitted quietly. "I just never had the courage. But we've grown closer… so I thought, why not?"
Akari gave a small, amused breath. "You're acting like a kid. Does something so simple from an old woman like me really make you that happy?"
Noah immediately opened one eye and looked up at her.
"What are you talking about? Being treated this kindly by someone as breathtakingly beautiful as you is something most men could only dream about."
She chuckled under her breath, the sound low and warm. "There you go again with the compliments. Always trying to flatter me."
"I'm only saying what's true."
