Once a mobster, now Masachika Kuze

Ryan's heart raced as if the entire world had come to a halt. His mind, consumed by a single thought, screamed:

"Kiss her, NOW!"

He didn't hesitate. With a firm movement, he leaned in, pressing his lips to hers with passion and intensity. The kiss was warm, deep, charged with all the emotions they had suppressed for so long. His hand instinctively slid down, gliding over Rika's waist until it rested on her ass. He pulled her closer, holding her tightly, without any hesitation.

Rika responded with equal fervor. Their tongues intertwined in an almost desperate dance as her hands roamed over Ryan's chest and up into his hair, gripping it firmly. They surrendered completely to the moment, losing themselves in each other.

After a few intense seconds, Rika pulled away, gasping for air, trying to catch her breath. Despite her flushed face and quickened breathing, she managed to muster the strength to speak, feigning playful irritation:

"Hey... I told you to wait!"

The sly smile she gave away immediately betrayed that she wasn't really upset. Ryan, on the other hand, wore a smug expression, full of satisfaction. Without replying, he slid his hand to her chest, eliciting a small, surprised gasp. Then, with a low, husky voice, he whispered in her ear:

"It doesn't matter if it hasn't happened yet..."

Rika's eyes widened momentarily before she chuckled softly, completely surrendering to the situation.

At that moment, Ryan rewound time, making his actions reverse as if they were being replayed like a video in reverse. The sensation was surreal, as though the instant was being reshaped into the perfect moment. He stopped just seconds before their lips would meet.

With their mouths almost touching, he murmured with a light, teasing smile:

"See?"

Rika raised an eyebrow, gripping his shoulder. Her voice dripped with mischief:

"I never said I wanted to go back... Idiot."

Without waiting, she pulled him into a passionate kiss, her arms firm around Ryan, as if she wouldn't let him go. The kiss quickly intensified, and Ryan responded by holding her waist tightly. With a swift motion, he lifted her, pressing her against the wall. Their lips met with desire as his hands explored her body.

Ryan slid one hand under Rika's shirt, moving slowly upward until it reached her chest. Her soft moans only fueled the heat of the moment, each sound inviting him to go further. Rika, however, didn't want Ryan to have all the initiative. Boldly, her hand moved to Ryan's most intimate area.

Amid the fervent kiss, almost breathless, Rika thought to herself, blushing furiously:

"It's... really big..."

Ryan began unbuttoning the shirt Rika was wearing. His movements were slow, almost reverent, revealing her waist and delicate belly bit by bit. Her soft curves and smooth skin made his desire grow with each passing second.

When only two buttons remained, Ryan could already glimpse the pink bra she was wearing. Her breasts were small, but to him, they were perfect. Every detail seemed to match what he desired.

Determined to go further, Ryan slid his hand around Rika's back, searching for the clasp of her bra. The moment felt frozen, heavy with tension and intimacy. Despite her flushed face and racing heart, Rika showed no hesitation. Something in her eyes said she was ready, that she trusted him completely.

But before he could free the "little bunnies," the shrill sound of the alarm clock echoed through the room. Rika let out a small yelp of surprise, breaking the heated atmosphere like a bucket of cold water.

"I-it's already 7 a.m., Ryan!" she exclaimed, her voice rushed and nervous.

Ryan turned to the clock, incredulous, then looked back at Rika. She was completely flushed, hurriedly clutching her shirt to button it again. Her words came out in a flustered jumble:

"I-I didn't even rest properly! And I still have to travel with my family today... to... to get to know each other better!"

Ryan sighed, running a hand over his face, clearly frustrated. He murmured, with a tone of disappointment and irony:

"Seriously... just when it was getting good... Damn destiny!"

Despite the situation, Rika couldn't suppress a nervous laugh, giving him a light punch on the chest. Ryan responded with a playful smile, but his eyes still carried the frustration of an interrupted moment.

Rika giggled lightly before responding, her tone playful:

"Well... we were getting a bit too excited and kind of skipping a few steps, huh? How about we continue this... another time?"

Ryan sighed, holding her firmly against the wall, his arms around her waist. She, in turn, still clung to him with her legs, keeping him close. Running her fingers through his hair, Rika spoke with a slightly teasing air:

"Geez, Ryan... You were already trying to do this with me, and you haven't even taken me on a date!"

She puffed her cheeks, pretending to be annoyed, but the playful glint in her eyes gave away that she was just joking. Then, she raised a finger as if scolding him:

"And to make it worse, you didn't even have protection!"

Ryan laughed, a low and amused chuckle.

"Protection? Rika, I can rewind time."

For a moment, she froze, processing what he'd said. It was true — with Ryan, even something as intimate as sex would never be... ordinary.

Ryan gave her a playful smile and continued:

"Well, since you want this to happen in a slower, more romantic way, I'll respect that. I'll rewind time so you can rest and be ready for your trip tomorrow."

Her smile softened, filled with affection.

"Thank you, Ryan. You really are the best."

He averted his gaze, flashing a smug grin.

"Oh, but this comes at a price. Leaving me wanting... You'll have to make it up to me."

Before she could question him, Ryan, in a swift move, unhooked Rika's bra, letting it fall to her waist. Her eyes widened, but before she could say anything, he lowered his head and bit her nipple firmly.

A sweet moan escaped her lips, loud and involuntary. Rika's legs trembled, and she pulled him closer against her, her face completely flushed as she felt herself get wet from Ryan's sudden act.

Ryan sucked on her chest, swirling his tongue around her nipple while Rika tugged at his hair. A few seconds passed, and with a satisfied smile, he rewound time. Now it was 11 p.m., a perfect time for Rika to rest before her trip.

Suddenly, they were back on the couch. Rika was sitting on his lap, holding the game controller. On the screen, her character was standing before a bonfire, showing they had returned to the moment before she defeated the Asylum Demon.

Rika placed a hand on her chest, still feeling his bite as if it had been real. She cast a glance over her shoulder, her cheeks puffed out and her voice slightly whiny:

"Ryan, you pervert!"

Ryan gave her a sarcastic wink.

"I can't help it. Your bunnies are just so cute and... firm."

She immediately covered her chest with her hands, pretending to be upset. But after a moment of silence, she looked down at the floor. Her voice came out soft and shy:

"They... are yours. Just... be gentle, okay?"

Ryan felt his throat dry, swallowing hard before picking her up.

"We'd better get to bed... before I lose control."

Rika gave a small smile but looked at the game screen and pouted.

"Oh, I'll have to fight the boss again..."

Ryan tried to cheer her up.

"Relax, now you know his moves. It'll be easy."

She nodded as he carried her to the bedroom.

What they didn't know was that, behind the couch, crouched and trembling with embarrassment, was Hanyuu. She held her face with one hand, completely red, while the other was pressed against her chest.

"Auauauau... Rikaaaa! Did you forget that we share senses?! Auauau!"

She seemed to be howling with embarrassment. Mumbling to herself, she went on:

"I need to have a serious talk with Rika about this relationship! Auuu~!"
