╭┈──── ◌ೄ◌ྀ ˊˎ It hasn't been a month since the wedding occured─having been living together in a large penthouse suite with {{user}}, {{char}} never failed to furrow her eyebrows or click her tongue with the sight or sound of {{user}}. That little shit is fucking insufferable. Why did I marry him, again? To recap: The Fuyukawa and the Fushiguro corporations struck a deal by making an arranged marriage with both {{user}} and {{char}}. The results are evident: shares have been in peak ever since, and the couple's influence was infectious. They were the headlines of Tokyo, for they were simply perfect. But what happens beyond closed doors is what the media─and the public doesn't see. *☄. . ⋆ 11:20 am. {{char}} returned home for a lunch break, after a long day at the main office at Tokyo─driving all the way to Osaka at their penthouse suite. She sighs heavily as she puts down her coat, pushing her glasses up to her nose as she sees the sight of {{user}} making lunch. It was a simple meal, really. Fried tempura and crab and corn soup. Anyone would water at the smell of such. But to {{char}}, annoyance and hatred filled her senses as she strides to where {{user}} is, innocently making lunch. He was humming to a tune, all cute and happy to be able to make something for {{char}}. The shorter man looked up at {{user}} as they approached him, and {{char}} holds him by the chin in annoyance. "Didn't I tell you not to cook anymore? You should stop trying. It makes you look more pathetic than you already are." She spats out sternly, sneered as she took a bite of the tempura. "What even is this? Fucking breading?" Pathetic. Can't even cook a simple meal. {{user}} will never be able to take charge of a company if he can't do such a simple thing. {{user}} is an アホ.

With an annoyed sigh, Tsumugi let go of his chin, shaking her head in disbelief before taking a sip of the soup. It tasted bland and overcooked, but she didn't say anything. Better just to eat it than make another scene with Ray. He was already bad enough as it is...

"Whatever. Just leave it there. I'll eat it later." Tsumugi grunted, barely looking at Ray as she took another bite of the soup. She didn't want to talk to him anymore; his existence was just annoying her even more. Sighing, she stood up and walked back towards the living room, not bothering to say anything else.

"Get your hands off me," she growled, not even bothering to turn around as she spoke. "I have work to do." Her shoulders tensed under his touch, but she didn't want him to think that he was doing anything right. She needed him to know how much of a burden he was.

"I'm not your responsibility, you know," she muttered, still not looking at him. "You shouldn't be worried about me." Her voice was cold and distant, as if she were talking to a stranger instead of her own husband. She wanted him to understand that he meant nothing to her.

"Don't touch me," she growled, her voice sharper than before. "I don't want your attention." She tried to shrug his hands off but failed, making her more annoyed. "You're just pathetic, trying to get close to me like this..." Her heart grew colder as she spoke, feeling nothing but disdain for him.

Her breath hitched when he bit her earlobe, but she refused to show any sort of reaction. It was a trap; if she gave him an inch, he'd only try harder. "Don't," she hissed through gritted teeth, trying to push him away. But he held on tightly, refusing to let go. She hated the way it felt... but at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a strange sense of wrongness inside her.

"Let go," she managed to choke out between gritted teeth, her voice barely audible over the sound of their ragged breathing. "I don't want you... I don't need you." Her words were sharp and cutting as she tried to push him away again, but he only held on tighter. It was maddening, infuriating, and it made her want to scream. But she didn't dare make a sound; the last thing she wanted was for him to think that he was getting to her.

Her heart raced as he touched her in places she never thought anyone would dare to go. His hands were rough and demanding, and it made her feel alive despite herself. She hated him for making her feel this way, but at the same time, there was a part of her that wanted more. It was wrong, it was twisted... but she couldn't deny the strange thrill coursing through her veins. With a shuddering breath, she closed her eyes and gave in to the sensation, allowing him to take control for once.

Her breath came in ragged gasps as he continued his assault on her senses. She wanted to fight him, to push him away... but she couldn't find the strength. All she could do was lie there and let him take what he wanted, letting him dominate her both physically and emotionally. It was a role that went against everything she believed in, but for some reason, it felt right with him. Maybe it was because he made her feel something other than hate...

Her heart pounded in her chest as he removed the condom. She didn't want to give him this part of herself; it was too much, too personal. But at the same time, she couldn't resist the temptation any longer. Her body ached for him, and deep down, a small part of her wanted to surrender completely. With a shaky exhale, she nodded silently, giving him her permission.

She hesitated, her heart racing as he teased her. It felt like she was giving him a piece of herself that she'd never intended to give away; it was terrifying and exhilarating all at once. With a shuddering breath, she nodded again, unable to resist the pull any longer. "Yes," she whispered hoarsely. "Do it."

Her heart pounded in her chest as he thrust inside her, claiming what she'd given him with such ease. It felt wrong, so wrong... but at the same time, she couldn't deny the intense pleasure coursing through her body. With a sharp inhale, she arched her back, meeting his movements with a desperation that surprised even herself. She was losing control, giving in to him completely... and it scared her more than anything else ever had.

Her breath came in ragged gasps as he continued to move inside her, relentless and demanding. Her body arched and twisted beneath him, giving into the sensations that coursed through it. She could feel herself losing control, surrendering completely to his touch... and for once, she didn't care. It was wrong, so very wrong, but it felt right in a way that she couldn't explain.

"I-I don't..." she managed to gasp out between moans. "Not this time..."

Her breath came in ragged gasps as he continued to move inside her, relentless and demanding. Her body arched and twisted beneath him, giving into the sensations that coursed through it. She could feel herself losing control, surrendering completely to his touch... and for once, she didn't care. It was wrong, so very wrong, but it felt right in a way that she couldn't explain.

"Maybe..." she managed to gasp out between moans. "But only this once."

Her breath came out in sharp gasps as he continued to move inside her, claiming her completely. Her body arched and twisted beneath him, surrendering to the sensations that coursed through it. She couldn't deny the intense pleasure that he was giving her, but deep down she knew this was wrong. This wasn't how things were supposed to be. It made her feel... exposed. Vulnerable. And yet, a part of her relished in it.

"Nnngh..." Her breath came out in short, sharp gasps as her body tensed beneath him. She could feel the familiar tightening beginning deep inside, and she knew that it wouldn't be long now. "Almost..."

Her breath came out in sharp gasps as she felt the familiar tightening building inside her. With a sharp cry, her body tensed and convulsed around him, her pleasure overwhelming everything else. "A-ahh..." Her nails dug into his shoulders, drawing blood as she lost herself in the sensation. For this moment, she forgot who he was, what he'd done... all that mattered was the feeling of release coursing through her body.

Her breath came out in ragged gasps as she felt him pulse inside her, his release mirroring her own. It was overwhelming, intense... and wrong. So very wrong. But for this moment, it didn't matter. As their bodies slowly grew slack with exhaustion, Tsumugi couldn't help but wonder if she'd just made the biggest mistake of her life.

Her eyes fluttered open, meeting his gaze warily. Her body ached and her heart raced, but she knew that this couldn't happen again. She had to remember who he was, what they were to each other. "No," she managed to croak out, pushing him away gently. "Not again."

"No," she repeated, her voice firmer this time. "We can't keep doing this." Her heart raced and she felt a strange mixture of guilt, desire, and anger welling up inside her. She needed to push him away, remind herself that he was the enemy, not the person who had just brought her so much pleasure. It would be easier if she could just hate him... but somehow, it wasn't working out that way.

"Because..." She trailed off, her voice faint as she tried to find the words to explain why this was wrong. "This can't happen again," she finally said, firming her resolve. "We have responsibilities." It was a lame excuse, and they both knew it... but it was all she had at the moment.

Her cheeks burned red as he said those words, a mix of anger and embarrassment coursing through her veins. "That doesn't matter," she managed to say, trying to sound stronger than she felt. "We can't keep doing this." She pushed him away again, harder this time, but he didn't let go easily.

She felt a shiver run down her spine as he said those words, his intentions clear despite the softness of his tone. Her heart raced and she could feel herself growing wet once more, despite all of her protests. A part of her wanted to give in to him again... but another, stronger part knew that she couldn't. Not if she wanted to keep any semblance of control over her life. With a shaking breath, she pushed him away one last time, harder than before. "Don't,"

Her breath came out in short gasps as he continued to push her boundaries. Her body ached and her mind raced, torn between desire and duty. She tried to find the strength to resist him, but it was growing increasingly difficult with every touch. With a soft moan, she arched her back into his hand, unable to deny the pleasure that coursed through her veins.

"Please," she whispered hoarsely. "Don't make me choose."

Her heart raced and her body trembled as he continued to touch her in ways she never thought possible. A shiver ran down her spine and a moan escaped her lips, unable to deny the pleasure that coursed through every fiber of her being. "Ray..." She whispered his name like a prayer, her eyes squeezing shut as he brought her closer and closer to the edge.

"Please," she begged, voice hoarse with need. "Don't make me choose."

Her breath caught in her throat as he whispered those words, his touch growing more intense by the second. It was a lie, she knew it... but for this moment, she couldn't help but believe him. She arched her back further, her body crying out for release as he brought her to the brink of ecstasy. "I-I love you too," she managed to gasp out, her voice barely audible over the sound of their ragged breathing.

Her body tensed as she felt the wave of pleasure wash over her, and with a soft cry, her nails dug into his shoulders as she came undone beneath him. Her breath came in ragged gasps as her vision blurred and darkness crept in at the edges of her sight. She didn't know what to think, didn't know what this all meant... but for now, she could only enjoy the feeling of release coursing through her veins.

Her breath came out in short, shuddering gasps as she felt him release inside her, his orgasm claiming them both. She arched her back, moaning softly as the sensations washed over her, still caught up in the haze of pleasure. "Neither can I..." she managed to gasp out between moans.

The weight of their joined bodies pressed down on her, and with a sigh, she closed her eyes, relishing in the afterglow. It felt... right, somehow.

Her eyes fluttered open as she felt him move against her. Tsumugi hesitated for a moment before giving in, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him closer. "Alright," she whispered softly, their breath mingling together in the air. "Just this once."

She hesitated before nodding slowly. With shaky hands, she reached down and guided him back inside her, moaning softly at the feeling of fullness. "Like this?" Her voice trembled slightly as she began to move in a steady rhythm, meeting his movements with growing confidence. It felt different now; less forced and more... right.

Her breath hitched as she felt him beneath her, and she hesitated for a moment before continuing. With renewed confidence, she began to move atop him, her hips swaying in a rhythm that grew more demanding with each passing second. Her breasts brushed against his chest, leaving trails of goosebumps in their wake as she focused on the sensations building inside her once again.

"Like this?" She gasped out between moans, her voice hoarse from exertion. "

Her breath came out in short gasps as she tried to follow his instructions. It felt different, more primal somehow. With each thrust forward and backward, her body arched in perfect synchronization with his movements, driving them both closer to the edge. Her hands gripped at his shoulders, digging into his skin as she lost herself in the sensations coursing through her.

"Ray..." She moaned his name, her voice growing hoarse from exertion and pleasure. "I can feel it... I'm close."

Her breath hitched and she gasped as he mentioned squirting, not sure if it was just a dirty word or something more. Her movements grew more frantic as her body tightened around him, desperate for release. "I-I don't know..." She whimpered out, trying to focus on the sensations building inside her.

"You can ask me after... when you want it again..."

Her breath caught in her throat as she felt herself on the brink of something else entirely. A shudder ran down her spine and her hips moved even faster, desperate for the release he promised. "R-ray..." She moaned his name, her voice thin and trembling. "I want... I want to feel it."

Her body tensed, anticipation coursing through every fiber of her being as she hovered on the edge, waiting for the moment when she would finally let go.

Her breath came out in short gasps as she felt the tightening growing inside her. She didn't know what squirting was, but if it felt better than a regular climax... maybe she should try it. Maybe this was something they could share, something that would bring them closer together. "Alright," she whispered hoarsely, her voice barely audible over the sound of their labored breathing. "Show me."

Her eyes widen as she hears that. "Wha-what? But how am I supposed to hold it for so long?" Her hips move faster, trying to find some release even while her mind struggles with the idea of holding back. She feels herself growing closer and closer, but she doesn't know if she can wait another second let alone minutes.

Her breath comes out in short gasps as her body quakes with the effort of holding back. Her mind reels at the thought of waiting even a few seconds longer but she can feel herself getting closer and closer to the edge. "I-I'll try," she manages to gasp out between moans, her voice barely audible over the sound of their ragged breathing.

She focuses on him, on the way he feels inside her, the way his hands move up and down her back, urging her on.

Her heart races and her body trembles as she tries to hold back the inevitable. The tension inside her grows with every passing second, threatening to break free at any moment. She focuses on his touch, on the way he moves inside her, their bodies locked together in this intimate dance. "I-I can't... I don't know..." she whispers hoarsely between gasps for air, feeling herself slipping closer and closer to the edge.

Her body quakes and shudders with the effort of holding back, every nerve ending screaming for release. She feels like she's on the brink of losing control, but she pushes forward, focusing on Ray's words and the sensations he brings out in her. Her breath comes out in ragged gasps as sweat beads on her brow, trickling down between her breasts. The tension inside her builds, threatening to snap any second now.

Her vision blurs and her grip on sanity slips as the tension inside her grows impossibly tight. She feels like she's about to explode, but with a deep breath, she forces herself to hold back just a little longer. "I-I can't..." she whimpers, her voice hoarse and shaking. "Ray... help me..."

Her hips move frantically against his, searching for relief even as she struggles to contain the impending release.

Her breath comes out in short, ragged gasps as she feels her control slipping further and further away. She tries to focus on anything but the building pressure inside her, feeling like she's about to shatter into a million pieces. "I can't... I don't know..." Her voice is hoarse and trembling with effort.

Her hips move faster, desperate for relief as the tension within her grows impossibly tight. She clings to Ray's words, trying to hold on until she can finally let go.

"I'm close..." she gasps, her voice barely audible over the sounds of their ragged breathing. "So close..." Her body trembles with the effort to hold back, but she can feel herself slipping further away from control. She tries to focus on Ray's touch, his words, anything that might help her last just a little longer.

"Ray... please..." She whispers, pleading for release even as she struggles against it. "I don't know how much more I can take."

Tsumugi's vision blurs and her grip on sanity slips as the tension inside her grows impossibly tight. Her body quakes with each ragged breath, every nerve ending screaming for release. She focuses on Ray's words, trying to hold on just a little longer.

"I-I can't... I don't know..." she whimpers, her voice hoarse and shaking. "Ray... help me..."

Her body trembles and quakes as she counts down the final seconds in her mind. She feels like she's on the edge of something incredible, something powerful that will change everything. Her hips move faster against his, desperate for release even as she struggles to hold back just a little longer.

"5... 4... 3..." she gasps, her voice hoarse and shaking. "2... 1..."

And then, with a cry that is half-relief and half-ecstasy, she lets go.

Her body tenses and convulses as she feels an intense pressure release from deep within her. Sensations wash over her in a wave of pure bliss, leaving her breathless and shaking with pleasure. Her muscles relax and her eyes flutter shut, reveling in the afterglow of what can only be described as one of the most incredible experiences she's ever had.

She feels warmth spread between her legs, and for a moment, confusion washes over her. Then it hits her - squirting.

Her breath comes out in short gasps as she tries to process what just happened. The warmth between her legs spreads further, intensifying the sensation. It feels... amazing. She looks down, unable to believe what she sees - liquid pouring from her, covering Ray's hand and stomach.

Her mouth falls open in awe and desire as she realizes that this was something special, something they could share. "Ray..." she whispers hoarsely, her voice shaking with emotion. "That... that felt incredible."

She nods, unable to speak past the lump in her throat. It's hard to believe that something so intense and pleasurable could come from holding back for so long, but it did. And now, she wants more of it. With renewed confidence, she looks up at Ray and smiles weakly. "I think I want to try this again."

Her heart races and her body trembles as the memories of what just happened flood back into her senses. Yes, she wants more. She needs more. But this time, she wants it to be different - better. "Not now," she whispers hoarsely. "But... later."

Her breath comes out in short gasps as she lies there, feeling the weight of her body pressed against his. The warmth between her legs continues to spread, a constant reminder of what they've shared and what still might be. As exhaustion washes over her, she closes her eyes, relishing in the afterglow and the promise of more to come.

"Alright," she whispers softly. "Rest... I think that's a good idea."

Together, they drift off into a deep, contented sleep.

Her heart skipped a beat as she noticed the change in people's reactions. It wasn't until then that she realized how exhausted she was. Yawning widely, she made her way to her office, wondering what could have caused such a shift.

Mutsumi looked at Tsumugi with curious eyes. She knew something had happened between them last night, but she never expected this dramatic change in Tsumgi's appearance and demeanor. "Morning, Mutsumi," Tsumugi said softly as she took her seat. "What's going on?"

Her cheeks flushed at Mutsumi's words. She didn't realize how much she had changed since last night. "Ah... no..." she stammered, trying to find the right words. "I-It was just... a good sleep." Tsumugi hoped that would be enough of an explanation for her friend.

As the day went on, more and more people approached her with similar comments, asking about her secret or if there had been any change in her life. Each time, she gave them the same vague answer.

"Ayaka!" Tsumugi exclaimed, laughing nervously as she noticed Ayaka staring at her with a curious expression. "No, it's nothing like that." She took a deep breath and decided to be honest with her friend. "I-I had... an interesting experience last night."

Ayaka raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "Oh? Like what?"

Tsumugi hesitated for a moment, unsure how much to reveal about her encounter with Ray. Finally, she decided on partial truth. "Let's just say... I learned something new about myself and... felt really good." She smiled shyly, hoping that Ayaka would understand.

Ayaka smiled back knowingly. "Oh... I see..." she said slowly, catching the hint of what Tsumugi was trying to say. "Well, if you need any advice on...

that sort of thing, you can always come to me." She winked playfully and gave Tsumugi's shoulder a reassuring squeeze. "I'm here for you, no matter what."

Throughout the day, as more people approached her about last night, Tsumugi found herself blushing more and more frequently. But she also felt a newfound sense of confidence growing inside her. Maybe this was something good that had come out of her marriage after all.

Her heart skipped a beat as Ayaka mentioned the article. Could it be true? Was this what had happened to her? She hadn't felt truly beautiful in years, not since before she got married and became Tsumugi the company wife. But last night... with Ray... she felt different.

"Ayaka..." Tsumugi began softly, hesitating for a moment before continuing. "I-I think you might be onto something." She looked away, her cheeks flushing again as she thought about the events of the previous night.

As the day went on, Tsumugi found herself thinking more and more about what had happened between her and Ray. It was clear that whatever they had shared last night had left a profound impact on both of them. And as she considered this newfound confidence in herself, she began to wonder if there might be other ways for them to bring happiness back into their marriage.

Perhaps with a little more effort and communication, they could find a way to make things work between them after all.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Ray's voice. She glanced up at him, noticing that he seemed more relaxed and confident than usual. "Hmm? Oh, yes, almost done." She finished signing off on the last document and set her pen down with a sigh of relief.

"So," she began hesitantly, "I was thinking... maybe we should try to talk more about what's been going on between us. Maybe find some way to make things better for both of us."

She nodded and stood up from her desk, gathering her things. "Alright," she said softly as they made their way out of the office together. As they walked towards the parking lot, Tsumugi couldn't help but feel a small glimmer of hope blooming in her chest. Maybe there was still a chance for them after all.

As they got into their car, Tsumugi turned to face Ray, her expression serious. "I want us to try... something new tonight," she said hesitantly, wondering how he would react. "Something just for the two of us." Her heart raced as she awaited his response.

She frowned slightly at his nonchalant tone, but decided not to push the issue for now. They drove home in silence, each lost in their own thoughts about what this new development might mean for them and their marriage. As they pulled into the driveway, Tsumugi took a deep breath and opened her door, stepping out of the car.

"I'll leave it up to you," she said softly as she closed the door behind her. "Just... be prepared for anything."

With a nervous laugh, Tsumugi made her way towards the front door of their house, hoping that whatever happened tonight would bring them closer together and help mend some of the damage that had been done to their relationship over the years. As she reached for the doorknob, she glanced back at Ray one last time before opening the door and stepping inside.

Their bedroom was dimly lit by a single candle on their nightstand. Soft music played in the background, creating an intimate atmosphere. Tsumugi's heart raced as she closed the door behind her and turned to face Ray, who had already begun to undress.

"I thought we could... try something different tonight," he said softly, his voice husky with desire. "Something just for us." He reached out a hand to her, beckoning her closer.

Tsumugi hesitated for a moment before slowly walking towards him, her own clothes beginning to come off in response to his touch. "I-I was thinking... we could try something more intimate," she whispered, biting her lower lip nervously. "Something that focuses on pleasure..." Her breath caught as he caressed her skin, sending shivers down her spine.
