Chapter 99: Locked up

"You were worried?" Naoki asked as a subtle of smile appeared on his face, but it was not hard to go unnoticed given Haruka's fright to his earlier reaction.

She was too afraid to notice how calm his tone was and how relaxed his facial nerves were. Still, as her ear senses were still working, she heard his question.

"Yes..."

'Why is he staring at me like that?' She thought, having happened to notice that his gaze had remained fixed on her face since he started to take off his robe.

Despite hearing her thoughts, Naoki chose to ignore it as he started to take short steps toward her.

Feeling that danger was lurking around the corner, Haruka instinctively took few steps backward without tearing her gaze off him.

She didn't know what he planned on doing to her, making it possible for her brain to be clouded.

She was totally unaware that he was only teasing her.
