"Why did you reveal so much to him? I'm sure it wasn't just his technical skill that led you to offer so much."
After a while, after David and Melissa had retreated to a suite within the bunker to carefully consider their response, Keiko couldn't help but ask as she looked at Kai with curiosity. Kai ate a couple of fries before replying in a calm tone.
"His technical skill is indeed impressive, and with so much work I've had lately, I need help with the hero suit department and support gear development. But in the end, you're right, there's something more. He was able to develop something that 'they' want so badly they've caused all this uproar over it. And besides, who would want the research without the researcher?"
"Do you think they'll come after him?" Yumiko asked in a soft, somewhat distant voice, staring at Kai, almost mesmerized. Keiko brought a hand to her chin and commented thoughtfully.
"It's possible they already have. David Shield is a highly recognized scientist with decades of success behind him, so having forbidden and archived research must have happened to him more than once. Still, the moment he thought about it, he only mentioned one, a recent and very specific one, which is a bit suspicious."
"I thought the exact same thing, but there's also the possibility that he had it on his mind precisely because it was recent. So, while suspicious, it's not enough to conclude anything." Kai nodded and commented while looking at Keiko, who quickly replied with seriousness.
"Even so, it's more than enough to stay alert. It'd be best if he accepted the proposal so we can keep him close. If they want him, we can't make it easy for them."
"Exactly, that's why I made the offer. David Shield is now worth much more than just his technical skill."
Kai commented with a smile as he popped a fry into his mouth, which made Keiko laugh with a knowing complicity. The beautiful mother soon rested her head against Kai's shoulder and asked in a playful voice.
"Besides, you need to keep him close in case you need help with what you stole, don't you?"
"Hehe, I can't hide anything from you."
Kai laughed, feeling strangely at peace, as if he were in the best place, the one where he fit perfectly. This led him to look at Keiko with eyes full of warmth. Seeing Kai's gaze, Keiko felt her heart fill with a love so pure and sincere that she took his hand in both of hers and gave him a tender kiss on the lips before closing her eyes.
For some reason, though she felt she loved her Kai more than anything in the world, just now, her lust seemed to have vanished. Her heart felt so full of love, happiness, and peace that there was no room for anything else at that moment, to the point where she felt she could burst at any second. It was such a magical and special feeling, one she had never experienced in her life.
(So this is true love… It's wonderful…)
At that moment, Keiko realized something she had ignored her entire life, which brought an incredibly beautiful smile to her face and made her melt against her beloved. Now she could see it; she hadn't truly known what love was. What she had thought was love in her youth was nothing more than a misunderstanding, a strange mix of lust, habit, and a thirst for validation.
But this was different. What she felt for Kai went beyond all that, something infinitely more intimate than sex; it was spiritual. That simple look full of love and warmth from her beloved meant more to her heart than all other intimacy combined.
Just being by the side of the love of her life made her heart completely satisfied; his embrace was her home and her happy place. That was true love, something beyond reasons and the true meaning of life.
Feeling almost enlightened, Keiko opened her eyes to look at her beloved Kai with infinite tenderness and happiness, to which he responded with the same gaze, making her smile joyfully.
But at that instant, Keiko noticed Kai raising an eyebrow in surprise and lowering his gaze, which led her to do the same. To her astonishment, she saw Yumiko, with clouded eyes and flushed cheeks, softly touching Kai's crotch, almost hypnotized.
…
As she gently caressed her beloved's crotch, Yumiko couldn't tear her eyes away from his face, feeling her entire body almost boiling with an animalistic lust. She had tried to hold it back, but she couldn't. Every second she spent by his side, feeling his warmth, her mind replayed over and over the images of her Kai with his sword in hand, walking firmly and calmly through chaos, until her mind finally gave in.
Though she had seen Kai train and fight, even watched his video desperately fighting on the Spiders' Island, it was only now, seeing it in person, that she could truly 'feel' his 'power.' She was finally able to grasp just how incredibly terrifying and dangerous the result of his years of relentless training was.
Her Kai was like a sword, incredibly attractive and elegant, capable of stealing glances wherever he went, but at the same time sharp and dangerously lethal. So dangerous that, if he wanted to, he could kill her with a single thought, and she wouldn't even notice. It wouldn't be much different from all those Nomus who died on the road like trash in the blink of an eye.
But for some reason, realizing this and feeling the danger Kai represented in every fiber of her being didn't scare her. Quite the opposite, it made her feel euphoric, a mix of adrenaline and lust coursing through her body like an unstoppable electric current. She, a divorced middle-aged woman, felt proud of her man and superior to others for the first time in her life.
That same man who terrified others spoke to her tenderly, spoiled her, fulfilled her whims, and protected her against anything. He was her rock, her temple, and her guardian, while others could only watch from afar with envy and fear. That terrifying 'sword' was firmly in her hands, and no one could take it from her. Kai was hers, and she was his, forever and always.
This feeling caused her body to react in a way she hadn't expected, a sensation unfamiliar even to a mother like her. From the deepest part of her being, she desired this dangerous man, desired him inside her, and desired him filling every part of her. She wanted him so badly that, for the first time in her life, she felt her stomach burn and her womb ache with need. She desired, more than ever, to be his woman and the mother of his children.
…
With an intoxicated expression, Yumiko caressed Kai's crotch until she felt it awaken, at which point she unzipped his pants and freed it, then bent down and stuck out her tongue. Meanwhile, Keiko, seeing Yumiko lick with such dedication, felt her dormant lust awaken with force, its intensity soaring through the roof.
With no concern whatsoever for the time or place, Keiko tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear and bent down to start licking slowly while gazing into Yumiko's blue eyes. Yumiko looked back at Keiko and, seeing her reflection in her eyes, couldn't help but smile with lust and excitement.
For some strange reason, this situation, which might even be considered humiliating, felt incredibly hot and thrilling to her. Against all logic, 'serving' her Kai alongside Keiko felt like the final piece of the puzzle falling perfectly into place. Only her Kai, her wonderful man, was worthy of something like this, and the idea of pleasing him and fulfilling all his fantasies heated her up like an oven.
(…So I was never angry with Haruto for cheating… I was just hurt because that trash, even after I lowered myself to be with him, dared to seek another woman when I was already too much for him… That trash wasn't worthy; only my Kai is…)
As their actions intensified, Yumiko came to a personal realization that made her feel liberated, as if a heavy burden had fallen from her shoulders. For a long time, the fact that Haruto's infidelity had hurt her so much, while sharing her Kai with others didn't bother her at all, had filled her with confusion and a bit of guilt.
But now, understanding the core of it all, she finally felt at peace and completely free to lose herself in her love without hesitation, leaving behind many of her previous inhibitions and fears. So much so that she quickly stripped off her clothes, leaving herself in only sexy underwear, and commented in a voice full of lust.
"Let's go to the bedroom…"
…
…
…
"What do you think of the proposal, Melissa?"
In the living room of a suite within the bunker, David poured himself a glass of whiskey while asking his beloved daughter, who was lost in reflective silence. Snapping out of her reverie, Melissa looked at her father and asked back with a slightly worried voice.
"Dad… Do you think Kai-san and Keiko-san intended to recruit you and investigated us…? I don't remember mentioning that I didn't have a quirk…"
David took his glass of whiskey and walked toward the table where his daughter sat, slowly swirling it, making the ice clink against the glass, creating a rhythmic sound. After sitting across from his daughter, David took a sip, then set the glass on the table and explained in a serious tone.
"It's very likely, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Many have intended to recruit me over the years and have done worse things. Even I-Island did something similar to recruit me back in the day; it's more or less how this works. So that's not the important part. What's important is what you think of the proposal."
"It's tempting… But in the end, it's just a promise. Leaving I-Island won't be easy for you, so it's better to stay unless we have no other choice…"
Melissa commented in a serious tone as she took off her glasses to clean them. David took another sip of whiskey with a slightly bitter smile, focusing on the corners of his daughter's mouth, which were slightly tightened—a gesture she'd made since she was a little girl when she wanted to hide her emotions.
But he could understand it. Being born without a quirk in a society where most people have one is 'heavy.' Being different isn't easy anywhere or at any time, especially when you can see people flying through the air or shooting fire everywhere while you'll never be able to do it. That's a blow too hard to take, especially for a beautiful, intelligent, and kind girl like Melissa.
Letting out a heavy sigh, David waited for his daughter to put her glasses back on before speaking in a serious tone, looking directly into her eyes.
"…While it's certainly not easy to leave here, it's not like I'm a slave to I-Island either. It's still possible, just expensive, but the Yaoyorozu group can afford it. Besides, while cats having quirks doesn't guarantee anything, Saito Kai was still able to heal All Might with no noticeable side effects so far. It's very possible he can keep his word, and All Might praised him several times for having an impeccable work ethic."
"Do you want to leave, Dad…?" Melissa asked with a hint of shyness, which made David smile and take the last sip of whiskey before looking at the sky and speaking in a thoughtful tone.
"The truth is, I don't care… My life boils down to waking up every day, going to the lab, and trying to build something that can help heroes create a better world. That's all I need in life to be happy, so it doesn't matter where I am—America, I-Island, or Japan—that won't change…" David lowered his head and continued, looking at his daughter with infinite paternal affection.
"Therefore, what's important is you. I don't know what will happen with the blockade I'm currently facing, but I fear it might be serious, and that would end up affecting you… If I end up in jail, I won't be able to take care of you, and you'll probably end up alone in America. So honestly, I want to accept."
"That's not going to happen, Dad! You didn't do anything, and Uncle Might would never let them put you in jail unjustly!" Melissa shouted back with tears in her eyes and jumped into her father's arms, who hugged her and commented with a subtle smile.
"Yes, All Might wouldn't allow it, but he can't stay and live in I-Island; his home is Japan. If it's true that 'that' research was stolen, things will get dangerous, and it's better to be close to him so he can protect us… So getting a quirk for you and a good job for me seems like a good deal, don't you think?"
Hearing her father, Melissa couldn't help but look at him in surprise, then buried her face in his chest and started crying like a little girl. With a warm, paternal smile, David began to gently stroke his beloved daughter's hair while looking into the distance with contemplative eyes.
