Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Rudy, on the other hand, was thinking of Rebecca\'s well-being. He was selfless when it came to Rebecca, as she was the most important person to him in all the world. He already knew that Rebecca wouldn\'t oppose the idea of being in an intimate relationship with him.

Still, Rudy wanted Rebecca to decide that for herself and not because Rudy wanted to. He was ready for both positive and negative answers to Rebecca\'s choice.

However, before that, he wanted to show his love to Rebecca. Thus, he asked for a grace period of five minutes and began kissing Rebecca like a lover would.

He was going to stop after one kiss and spend the rest of the five minutes talking and cuddling with Rebecca, but that didn\'t happen.

Rebecca kissed him back after the first kiss, so he decided to continue kissing her. They kissed and kissed as time passed. Seconds turned into a minute, but they still didn\'t stop.

They weren\'t kissing like animals, but their kisses lasted long, as though they both were savoring each other\'s taste and exchanging their love via their mouths.

The mood was heating up, and Rudy was no longer sure if he would be able to stop after five minutes. Moreover, he was afraid that he would end up doing more than just a kiss if they continued for any long.

Still, neither of them stopped.

They wanted to forget everything for a moment and think they were the only ones in the world. As if time had stopped for them so they could share that moment.

But as they say, time waits for none, and it didn\'t wait for them either.

When five minutes passed, they stopped kissing and looked into each other\'s eyes, seemingly contemplating if they should continue or not. Neither of them spoke a word as though they were talking through their eyes.

As their gazes stayed locked and their bodies embraced, they moved their faces together to become one.

Their lips touched once and never separated again. Their tongues mixed and began to fight within their mouths. It seemed that the battle would never stop, but everything must come to an end.

CLICK~!

As soon as they heard the sound of the front door unlocking, Rudy jumped and retreated far back on the couch while Rebecca got up and ran into her room with the diary in her hands.

A few seconds later, Lucy walked into the living room with a juice can in her hand. She looked at Rudy on the couch and scanned the living room with her eyes.

"Oh, you are home?" Rudy asked, playing dumb.

"Nothing. I just found it weird that you are sitting in the living room on your own, doing nothing. It\'s creepy, actually," she said with a judging look on her face.

"Oh, well. I just got out of the bathroom and was thinking of watching some TV until you return."

"In other words, you were waiting for me?"

"Not really, I was just feeling a little hungry."

Lucy squinted her eyes and said, "So I am your maid now, huh?"

"Why did you come so late today?" Rudy asked, even though he knew she was with her friends.

"I was with my friends."

"Oh? An after-school date with your boyfriend?" Rudy teased her with a grin.

"I was with my school friends, and they all were girls— you know, I go to an all-girls school. Please don\'t joke like that again," she said in an angry tone.

\'That\'s strange. Whenever I teased her like this in my past life, she would tease me back and give me a haughty reply. I was just trying to ease up the mood, but…\'

"If I knew you would be coming late, I would have already started the preparation of lunch," Rudy said calmly without looking at Lucy, as he didn\'t want to see the furious look on her face.

"I will do that next time. Today was just on an… impulse…? We decided on a whim, and it had been a while since I hung out with them, so it felt weird to turn them down for no reason. And I didn\'t know it would take so long, or I definitely would have informed your mother.

But then again, she is sleeping at this time, so calling her would be ruining her sleep. And you are always out of the house, so calling you would have been useless. Why are you here anyway?

"Wow. Now I am being questioned about my presence in my own house. And hey, calling me or informing me about your status wouldn\'t be useless. I am your brother, and I care about you. I would be at ease if I am assured that you are safe," he asserted in a solemn voice with complete honesty.

"Step!" Lucy placed her fists on the sides of her stomach and leaned forward at Rudy as he was sitting on the couch.

"..."

She squinted her eyes a little and said, "I am your step-sister."

"Yeah, yeah." Rudy turned his face to the side as he wanted to avoid accidentally glancing at her cleavage. His super libido was triggered after kissing Rebecca so much, and he had to hide his boner from her.

She tapped the juice can on Rudy\'s cheek and said, "Here. You like mango juice, right?"

"I do. But I doubt you brought it for me," he chuckled.

"Here, take it."

Rudy took the can from Lucy, thinking it was empty and she was simply pulling a trick on him, but it was actually half-filled.

"You don\'t want to drink it?" he asked.

"I drank on my way, and now I am going to take a bath, so I don\'t really want to drink."

"I see."

"Oh, yeah! And one more thing. I will come to your room later tonight, so help me with my math homework!"

After saying that, she rushed into Rebecca\'s room.

\'Is it \'that\' event already?\' Rudy thought to himself.
