28 Chapter 28- Separation?

Maria had no record of how many times she had climaxed throughout the night.

On the bed, lying on the floor, pushed to the wall, or inside the bathroom, Ryouya fucked her senseless throughout the small apartment room like a wild beast in heat.

She was moaning and yelling in his arms all night long while begging for more and more every time he painted her inside with his semen. She was intoxicated and addicted to his thing and the peculiar warmth she felt upon being held by Ryouya.

It was nearly four in the morning when Ryouya for the final time took a bath and helped Maria wash up as well before he carried her back to the bed. He already has removed the bed sheet which was nearly drenched.

He has to apologize to Ryuuji for making a mess but that's for later.

"Are you alright? You looked extremely exhausted some minutes ago?" Despite knowing the reason already, Ryouya couldn't help asking in slight surprise.

It was too perplexing how someone on the verge of fainting could now smile so enthusiastically like she had a refreshing massage or sort.

"For some reason...I feel a lot more alive than before." Even Maria was surprised to find how her mind and body felt rejuvenated. Her skin seemed to be glowing and her body and mind had never been so unrestrained.

She felt like running a marathon wouldn't be a challenge for her at all....or maybe she was a little exaggerating here. But overall, this feeling was entirely new and unexpected after the longest duration of intercourse she was engaged in.

"Hmm...well this was only one time thing so enjoy it as much as you can." Ryouya's words dampened her mood drawing a frown on her brows.

"Why did you say something like that?" While she knew this indeed was a one-night stand and nothing more than that, she couldn't help but feel a heavy sensation weighing her heart.

Neither of them was serious about it, Maria had considered it since the time she decided to kiss him. However, now...she felt incredibly uncomfortable just by the prospect of not seeing him again.

Ryouya raised his brows and straightened his back followed by Maria. Since she was leaning on his chest, Maria had to turn herself to look at him directly.

"Maria...you are engaged and your partner is no one else but Norihito Minoru, the renowned movie star. Even your dad is such a big industrialist...being near you would not be beneficial for both of us." Ryouya had a feeling that he had seen the woman somewhere and after a lot of contemplation, he finally remembered where.

After researching he found out she was engaged to a movie star and a long-time idol. And also Maria's background wasn't a typical one either. Ryouya would end up in a sticky trap where his future might end up in peril if he doesn't end their relationship right here and now.

Maria kept her head hung low, hearing his words and then thinking about it. Not too long after she took a long sigh and got up from the bed, revealing her exquisite and charming bare body.

However, in his current situation, Ryouya didn't check her out but rather waited for her to say something. But Maria remained silent and wore her dress.

Ryouya wanted to stop her but he held back. His life was already going through a lot of troubles and stopping her here would only elevate his problems.

....truth be told, Maria wanted to be stopped by Ryouya...to be embraced by him and never let go. But she also knew it was nothing but just her greedy self, wishing such a thing to happen.

In the end, none of them said anything before Maria left the room.

It all started with a passion and ended with a sad note.

Ryouya felt bad but there wasn't anything he could do other than get up and leave.

He had already texted Kasumi but didn't receive anything in return, which was natural, considering the time of the day. His clothes were left in a shopping bag at the entrance of the room where he spent the whole night.

"Must be Ryuuji-san." Taking the bag, Ryouya changed his clothes and folded the bartender's uniform before sliding it inside the shopping bag and placing it inside the room.

Taking the elevator down to the ground floor, Ryouya found the familiar redhead walking toward the elevator,

"Ah, Ryouya-kun. You could have stayed in bed a little longer you know " Although the man's posture and voice were consistent with Ryouya's memory from the previous evening, he could discern the man's exhaustion. The redness in his eyes and the evident fatigue in his demeanor were clear indicators.

"No, I am well rested, thank you. Rather, I suggest you have some sleep."

"Oh, yeah, I would also like that....and your duty days are alternative so let's meet tomorrow."

Waving to him, Ryuuji walked inside the elevator before leaning toward the wall and closing his eyes to provide them some rest. He really needed some hours' worth of sleep

Ryouya already knew the frequency of his job and it helped him to maintain his student life as well so he didn't say anything and began walking out of the bar.

All the guests had already left and so did the staff members except for the cleaning staff who were wiping the marks of alcohol and whatnot.

Exiting the place, he saw a middle-aged man with a cap on his head standing in front of a car he was familiar with.

"Did my aunt send you?" The driver nodded before he pulled the backseat door for Ryouya.

Ryouya let out a sigh before ascending onto the chair and settling comfortably into its plush embrace.

Soon the car drove off and before Ryouya knew he drifted into a short nap while on the way back to his home.

Driving to the other side of Tokyo, Maria made her way back to her apartment.

She often comes to this place because they serve some of the really good drinks but other than that, she rarely goes out of her house these days.

Her life has always been simple and uneventful. After completing her graduation from an administration college, she began helping her father in his company.

At the age of twenty-two, she got to know that she was arranged into a marriage with a popular superstar, and the person with whom Maria had a close relationship.

She assumed that this was her life and this was how she was supposed to move forward.

Getting married, supporting her husband, bearing his children, nurturing the family, and eventually passing away in her twilight years.

She never complained about it but she found such a life boring. However, her upbringing had been done in such an environment which made her think that this was the best route of life one could walk on.

However, last night, she felt different. She felt she wasn't just a decoration or a person bound with the thread of her fate. She felt independent...

Maria have never felt this wanted and desired by someone before. In his arm, she was free and for the first time, felt she was not just the daughter of a prominent industrialist or fiancé of a star.

She was herself.

However, "Whatever I think of our meeting...there is nothing going to happen again."

In her mind, their paths have already drifted apart, but only fate knows how soon Ryouya and Maria are going to meet once again.
