At night, while everyone else was asleep, Tenraku sneaked out of his room. He found it a bit amusing to be sneaking around in his own house, but it was a request from President-Sama, so Tenraku had to comply.
Earlier, during their time in the Underworld, Sona had mentioned thanking him and had asked him to come to her room at night. Could it be that Sona had something in mind for him?
A certain someone's heart raced with excitement and anticipation...
"Sona," Tenraku gently knocked on the door.
"Come in," Sona's voice came from inside the room as if she had been expecting Tenraku.
Entering the room, Tenraku closed the door behind him. As he glanced around the room, he quickly spotted Sona standing by the dressing table.
She wasn't wearing her usual Kuoh Academy uniform; instead, Sona was dressed in a rare blue pleated dress. Sensing Tenraku's presence, she stood up and turned to face him.
However, the moment Tenraku laid eyes on Sona's face, his heart skipped a beat.
"What's wrong? Don't recognize me?" Sona's lips curved into a playful smile, radiating charm.
"Of course, I do. It's just that you look so beautiful all of a sudden, it took me by surprise," Tenraku replied while scratching his head.
Indeed, Sona looked stunning. In fact, one could even say she looked breathtaking. It seemed like every inch of her had been meticulously adorned. The last time Tenraku had seen Sona like this was during their engagement ceremony.
"Am I not beautiful usually?" Sona teased, seemingly enjoying Tenraku's discomfort.
"You know what I mean, Sona. I didn't mean it like that," Tenraku chuckled. This wasn't like the usual Sona at all.
Normally, while Sona did take care of her appearance, it was in a more conservative manner that didn't draw too much attention. This was also true for Shinra Tsubaki, who was Sona's Queen. It seemed to be related to their usual personalities.
At Kuoh Academy, Rias and Akeno dominated as the top two idols in terms of popularity. Sona and Shinra Tsubaki could only settle for third and fourth place. In truth, in terms of beauty and demeanor, Sona and Shinra Tsubaki were not inferior to Rias and Akeno. The main reason for this outcome was their approach to dressing up.
Rias and Akeno spared no expense when it came to dressing up. They wore various beautiful and luxurious clothes and jewelry, and even their lipsticks were high-end products from limited collections.
Just one of their lipsticks could cost several months' worth of living expenses for an ordinary person. Even Tenraku couldn't help but secretly admire these two spendthrifts from time to time.
Of course, Tenraku fully supported Rias and Akeno's "extravagance". Both the Phenex and Gremory families were not short of money. What was the point of not spending it? Besides, ultimately, Tenraku was the one who benefited the most from their purchases.
The texture of their clothes and the feeling when tearing them apart were excellent. Even the sound they made was pleasing to the ears. Even the scent of those lipsticks was quite memorable...
Tenraku realized he was getting carried away. He felt a bit embarrassed, but luckily, it seemed like Sona had no intention of continuing to tease him. She walked a few steps closer to Tenraku.
"Kiss me," A faint blush appeared on her beautiful face as Sona spoke softly.
Once again, Tenraku was taken aback. Today's Sona was indeed acting unusually!
Although the two of them had done intimate things many times before given their current relationship, it was usually Tenraku who initiated, and then Sona responded and cooperated.
Before, Tenraku didn't pay much attention to it, attributing it to the girl's modesty, especially since Sona herself tended to be more conservative in this regard.
As far as Tenraku could remember, this was the first time Sona had been so proactive. Surprised as he was, now was not the time to dwell on such thoughts. If Sona suddenly changed her mind, he would be in big trouble...
"At your command, my princess," A smile spread across his face, and Tenraku obediently lowered his head to capture Sona's lips.
In the gem-like eyes, a hint of intoxication surfaced as the two intertwined, constantly stealing each other's sweetness. It wasn't until a long while later that they finally separated, a silver thread connecting their lips.
"Hold me and take me to the bedroom," Sona, as supple as boneless, nestled in Tenraku's embrace once again.
Though the girl's voice sounded like music to Tenraku's ears, this time he didn't move.
"Sona, if you just wanted to thank me for protecting your school, what happened earlier would have been enough," He said, stroking the girl's hair.
"Weren't you already lusting after my body? I thought you would be more surprised and eager," She raised her head to look at him, her eyes showing a hint of surprise and faint resentment.
Having set aside all her reservations and taken such initiative, she was surprised that he suddenly hesitated.
"I have long desired your body, Sona, and I am indeed very surprised and happy," he said. "But—"
Meeting Sona's gaze, Tenraku emphasized his words, "Sona, I like you, truly like you! I want all of you, but I don't want you to do this out of gratitude. I want to wait until the day you're truly ready to accept me, even if it takes forever."
There was no trace of falsehood in Tenraku's words; they came straight from his sincere heart.
At times domineering, at times gentle, at times wicked, yet always sincere, Tenraku felt like a contradictory and complex individual to himself. But contradictions or complexity aside, he was who he was— he was Kamiya Tenraku!
Neither Sona nor Tenraku spoke another word; they simply gazed quietly at each other.
At first, Sona's eyes held a hint of resentment, but gradually, it melted away, replaced by an unprecedented tenderness.
"Fool, do you think I'm the kind of woman who would give herself out of gratitude?" She said softly. "At this point, I've already prepared myself, and this was just a convenient excuse."
"Now, do I need to say anything else?"
Sona's voice was light, but her words indicated that she, too, had made up her mind and let go of all her reservations.
Slightly taken aback, Tenraku then smiled with relief:
"No, there's no need..."
Without any more hesitation, Tenraku lifted Sona and carried her into her bedroom.
As they kissed each other, Tenraku gently laid the girl on the soft bedding, then slowly removed Sona's clothes with the utmost tenderness.
Looking at the flawless body before him, Tenraku took a deep breath, trying to suppress the turmoil in his heart.
Though he was destined to defile this perfect being, he couldn't be reckless; he had to be gentle.
Bowing down, Tenraku savored every inch, every drop.
With her eyes closed, Sona let Tenraku have his way, occasionally emitting a few melodious moans.
Until a long while later, seeing that Sona was fully aroused and ready, and having endured his own limits of patience, Tenraku no longer hesitated. He entered Sona's body, and they became one completely...
