Vol 2 Chapter 29 – Love♡ Love♡ I love you sooo much♡【Vol 2: The Cat-Eared Girl, Eclair

“…hah, hah♡ Ah… hah♡”

Eclair collapsed limp onto the bed.

“E-Eclair…?”
“…ah, ngh…♡ Hah, hah, haah…♡”

Eclair lay there, breathing hard through her shoulders. With each rise and fall of her chest, her sweat-damp skin caught the light with a faint sheen.

I never imagined she’d finish just from her chest—

“A-are you… okay?”

I peered at her face, hesitant. But there was no answer.

Instead, her hazy eyes fixed on me, heavy-lidded and melting.

Ah…

A chill raced down my spine. Those eyes—that look.

—She’s in heat…!

The way she’s looked in heat flashed vividly through my mind. The way she lost herself and devoured me with kisses. The day she drained me until I blacked out.

I thought I was ready, and still my body tensed on its own.

“Theo…”

Flat on her back, Eclair looped her arms around my neck and called to me in a sweet, coaxing voice.

H-here it comes…!

My heart leaped. I held my breath and braced myself—and then—

“…I love you.”

…
……
………

“…Huh?”

It took a moment for the meaning to land, like time itself had frozen.

“I love you… I love you so much♡”

Tears shimmering in her damp eyes, Eclair gazed straight up at me.

“‘Love’… me?”

When I asked, she gave a tiny nod. Embarrassed, but unmistakable.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t be honest… The truth is, I was really happy. When you offered to shop for me at the market… when you looked for another way… when you said you couldn’t just leave me… when you saved me today… all of it…♡”

With every word, her cheeks flushed deeper, like she was finally setting free feelings she’d kept locked in her chest.

“I kept liking you more and more, but I was scared to admit it, so I lied to myself… I told myself someone like me could never be loved…”
“Eclair…”

Her voice trembled, but it rang quiet and clear, like a confession.

“But I’m done lying. …Hey, Theo—do you like me?”

At that direct question—those eyes—my heart thudded hard.

“Th-that’s…”

I faltered. I’d never thought about it that way. I just wanted to help her, so… romance…?

“…Do you… hate me?”

Her face was about to crumple into tears. The word pierced me sharp in the chest. My mouth moved before I could think.

“N-no way I hate you…”
“Really? …I’m so happy♡”
“W-whoa—”

Smiling like a flower in bloom, Eclair surged up and threw her arms around me. We ended up facing each other on the bed as she nuzzled my cheek like a cat. Soft warmth and sweet scent wrapped around me, and my head threatened to spin right off.

W-wait, hold on! How is she this cute all of a sudden!? Is this really the same girl who tried to tear me to pieces when we first met…?

“Love you♡ Love you♡ Love you♡ Theo, I love you♡ …Ah?”

Eclair shivered.

“A-ah, ahh♡ What is this, it’s amazing♡ Every time I say ‘I love you,’ my whole body gets all hot and tingly♡”

Her usually prickly face melted like honey. I could practically see pink heart marks floating in her dewy eyes.

“I’m so glad I was honest♡ It feels so good to tell the person I love that I love them♡”
“U… ah, ah…”

A sudden storm of “I love you”s left my feelings scrambling to keep up. But having a girl this ridiculously cute pour it all on me—there was no way it didn’t make me happy. My heart pounded, and I felt my cheeks heat of their own accord.

“Theo, I love you♡ I love youuu♡ I love you more than anyone in the world♡”
“E-Eclair… ah, m—!”

In the next instant, she pushed me back and pressed her lips to mine. Before I could resist, her tongue slid in. Heat and sweetness flooded my mouth.

“Nn♡ smooch♡ kissh♡ slurp♡ …Haaah♡ Kissing the person you love feels sooo good♡ Hey, let’s do more lovey kisses♡ Mm, moreee♡”
“Uah, w-wait, mm… this is… bad… nn!”

Saliva mingled; her heat spread from my mouth through my whole body. Reason melted, and my thoughts went hazy.

“Theo, Theo, Theooo♡ Ahn, it feels so good♡ If just kissing feels this good… what’ll happen if we have sex?”

Whispering in a wet, sweet voice, she pressed her hips into me. Even through fabric, the heat pressed against me and sparked in my lower body.

“I’m scared… but even scared, I want to know…♡ I’m scared, but I still want it…♡”

With heated breath she wound her arms around me, her legs around me, her tongue around mine. Every part of us pressed tight together, her soft body becoming all mine.

I—I’m not going to last…!

Unable to resist the rising heat, I wrapped my arms around her. In the moonlight, our bodies wound together like threads.

“Hey, Theo—do it♡ I don’t care what happens anymore♡ With all of you, teach me your love-love sex♡”
“E-Eclair…!”
“Theooo♡ Love you♡ Love you♡ I love you sooo much♡”

That night, we soared all the way to the moon.
