Capítulo 4: The Regret- 4

"Can you at least tell me where we are going, Gatou-kun?"

Inside a taxi, both Emi and Ryuuma sat in the backseat. After he had returned home from the publishing company, Ryuuma didn't share how the meeting went.

Instead, he asked Emi to dress nicely for a date. Surprised but thrilled, Emi eagerly agreed, as it had been years since their last outing.

Ryuuma wore a white dress shirt, dark blue jeans, and a black blazer, with neatly combed hair and black leather shoes.

Emi chose a light blue floral summer dress, white sandals, and a silver necklace, with her hair in loose waves.

After changing into fresh clothes, the duo went out and booked a taxi.

"It's a surprise, Emi-chan. You'll find out soon enough," Ryuuma said with a chuckle, causing her to pout.

"You didn't tell me how the meeting went with the publishing company," Emi asked, her nervousness apparent.

Though she could tell the meeting had gone well from his good mood, she wanted the exact details.

"It went well," Ryuuma replied with a smile. "You'll find out the details soon."

"If you say so…" Realizing she wouldn't get more out of him, Emi changed the subject and started asking about the publishing company.

After almost half an hour, the taxi reached Fushimi Ward and stopped in front of a market. The couple got out, paying the fare before Ryuuma grabbed her hand and led her toward their destination, guided by Google Maps.

Emi curiously observed the shops, chatting about them as it was her first time there.

After a ten-minute walk, they arrived at a BMW car showroom.

"Gatou-kun… Why did we stop in front of a BMW car showroom?" Emi asked, confused, but then a bold idea emerged in her mind.

"We're here for what you're thinking right now, Emi-chan," Ryuuma said, amused by her shocked expression.

"Are you serious?" Emi's eyes widened in disbelief.

Ryuuma nodded. "I'm serious. The meeting went better than expected. I wanted to surprise you."

"But how? We didn't have enough money for this," Emi said, her voice filled with awe and confusion.

Ryuuma grinned, taking out his phone and showing her the bank app with their new balance. "I got an advance payment from the publishing company. We have more than enough now."

Tears welled up in Emi's eyes as she hugged him tightly. "I can't believe this! I'm so proud of you!"

He hugged her back. "Thank you, Emi-chan. Let's go inside and pick out our new car."

Together, they entered the showroom, greeted by a salesperson who eagerly showed them the latest models.

Emi's excitement grew with each car they saw, and after a while, they settled on a sleek, black BMW X5 model that both of them loved.

As they finalized the purchase, the couple sat inside the car, inspecting it from every angle with excitement on their faces.

"I still can't believe this..." Emi mumbled with a small smile. "I feel so happy to be with you, right now, Gatou-kun."

"This is just the beginning, Emi-chan. I plan to change our life completely." Ryuuma replied with a smile causing her to giggle.

Driving out of the showroom in their new car, Ryuuma glanced at Emi, who couldn't stop smiling. "Where to next, my lady?" he asked playfully.

"Anywhere, as long as I'm with you," Emi replied, her voice filled with love and joy.

"Then let's go and buy some clothes for you," Ryuuma said with a smile.

"More shopping? You are spoiling me too much, Gatou-kun." Even though she said those words her excited smile said otherwise.

"I should be spoiling my lovely wife non-stop. This is just the beginning." Ryuuma said with a smile and drove the car to a super mall that he had heard about a lot.

They drove for another twenty minutes before reaching a large, upscale supermall. The sleek exterior and the bustling crowd hinted at the luxurious brands inside. Parking the car, they entered the mall, hand in hand.

Ryuuma led Emi to a high-end clothing store. The interior was modern and stylish, filled with the latest fashion trends.

"Let's start from here," Ryuuma said as they began to look through the shelves.

Emi looked through the racks for some time. However, when she saw the price tags, a look of hesitation appeared on her face, which didn't go unnoticed by Ryuuma.

"Let me choose dresses for you, and in return, you can choose clothes for me, okay?" Ryuuma suggested with a smile. Emi immediately nodded, relieved and excited by the idea.

Ryuuma began to search through the shop and finally picked up five different dresses he wanted to see her in.

"Here," he said, handing her the dresses.

Emi nodded and then disappeared into the changing room, leaving Ryuuma waiting outside with eager anticipation. After a few moments, she emerged, each time donning a different dress. With each new ensemble, Ryuuma's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but shower her with compliments.

"Wow, Emi-chan, that blue dress brings out the sparkle in your eyes," he remarked as she twirled in front of the mirror.

"You look stunning in red," he gushed as she emerged in the vibrant cocktail dress, her confidence radiating.

"That black gown makes you look like royalty," he exclaimed, admiring the elegance of the lace detailing against her skin.

"Emi, you're like a vision in pink, so playful and charming," he praised as she modeled the ruffled midi dress with a smile.

"And in white, you're simply ethereal," he whispered as she emerged in the romantic lace maxi dress, his admiration evident in his eyes.

Emi's heart swelled with happiness at his words, feeling beautiful and cherished in each outfit.

"Let's go and buy clothes for you as well." Emi grabbed his hand and led him to the other side of the shop, which was filled with men's clothes.

After careful thinking, she chose two T-shirts for him, one black and one pink, and then picked out three shirts: a plain black, a light yellow, and a white one. She then selected two pairs of grey pants, one black, one blue, and the last one in light blue.

As Ryuuma stepped out of the changing room, Emi's eyes lit up with genuine admiration.

"Gatou-kun, you look so handsome in that black T-shirt," She said with a bright smile. "It fits you perfectly and shows off your shoulders."

Hearing her enthusiastic praise, Ryuuma couldn't help but smile back at her. He turned slightly to catch a glimpse of himself in the mirror, pleased with how the T-shirt looked.

Next, he emerged in the pink T-shirt, which made Emi's smile grow even wider. "The pink one is amazing too! It brings out the warmth in your skin tone and looks so fresh and vibrant on you."

Ryuuma chuckled. "You think so?" he asked.

"Absolutely!" Emi nodded vigorously. "It's perfect for a casual day out."

When Ryuuma came out wearing the black shirt, Emi's eyes sparkled with appreciation. "Wow, this shirt makes you look so dashing. It's so classy and elegant. Perfect for a dinner date."

She reached out to adjust the collar, her fingers lingering for a moment as she admired the sharp lines of the shirt. The sincerity in her voice and the way she looked at him made Ryuuma feel very happy.

In the light yellow shirt, Emi beamed at him. "This one makes you look so bright and cheerful. It's such a refreshing colour for you. You'll stand out in a crowd!"

Finally, he stepped out in the white shirt, and Emi's breath caught for a moment. "Gatou-kun, you look so refined and handsome in this. It's perfect for any occasion. You could wear this anywhere and look amazing."

As Ryuuma tried on the pants, Emi continued her stream of compliments. "The grey pants fit you so well. They show off your legs," she remarked, making him grin. "And the blue ones are fantastic too. They're such a nice contrast to the shirts. You look so stylish!"

Throughout this exchange, other male customers in the store couldn't help but notice the doting way Emi praised Ryuuma. They watched with envy as she admired her husband, wishing they could receive the same kind of attention from their partners.

One man, who was browsing nearby, muttered to his friend, "Man, I wish my girlfriend would look at me like that."

Another guy, trying on a suit, sighed as he observed Emi's unabashed admiration for Ryuuma. "She's something, isn't she? Makes you want to step up your game."

Even the store attendants noticed the scene, exchanging knowing smiles. One of them whispered to a colleague, "That guy's lucky. His wife is smitten with him."

Ryuuma, aware of the attention they were drawing, felt a mix of pride and happiness. Emi's genuine praise and the obvious affection in her eyes made him feel special.

As they finished their shopping and headed to the checkout, he leaned in and whispered, "Thank you, Emi-chan. Your words mean the world to me."

Emi blushed, squeezing his hand. "I just wanted you to know how amazing you look. You make me so happy, Gatou-kun."

With their new clothes packed and paid for, the couple left the store, both feeling very happy.

After they finished shopping for clothes, Ryuuma and Emi decided to put their bags in the trunk of their car before heading to the other part of the mall.

"How about we watch a movie?" Emi suggested, her eyes lighting up with excitement.

"Sounds perfect," Ryuuma agreed, taking her hand as they walked back into the mall.

They made their way to the cinema, bought two cokes and a large bucket of popcorn, and found their seats.

The movie was a sweet love story, and they enjoyed the lighthearted moments and emotional scenes, holding hands and occasionally sharing smiles and whispered comments.

After the movie, their stomachs reminded them it was time for dinner. Ryuuma chose a high-end restaurant, wanting to have a romantic candlelight dinner with Emi.

Over delicious steaks and gourmet dishes, they laughed and talked, enjoying each other's company. Emi couldn't help but marvel at how thoughtful and romantic Ryuuma had been all day.

As they walked back to their car, their attention was caught by certain shops. Both had different ideas in mind to surprise their partner.

"I need to check something quickly. Can you wait for me here?" Emi asked with a mischievous smile.

"Sure, I'll be back soon too," Ryuuma replied, matching her smile.

Emi headed to an exotic clothing store for women. She browsed through the lingerie section, picking out a few seductive items. She also selected some micro bikinis and role-play costumes.

She felt a bit ashamed seeing them but decided to purchase them, thinking about Ryuuma's excited expression.

Meanwhile, Ryuuma found his way to a BDSM store. He was curious to explore ways to add a bit of kink to their sex life. After looking around, he picked out a few toys and accessories that he thought they both might enjoy.

They both finished their shopping, eager to keep their purchases a secret. They met back at the parking space, both carrying discreet bags.

"So, what did you get?" Emi asked, trying to peek into Ryuuma's bag.

"It's a surprise," Ryuuma said with a grin. "What about you?"

"Also a surprise," Emi replied, her eyes twinkling with excitement.

They put their secret purchases in the trunk and climbed into the car. The drive home was filled with light chatter and the occasional knowing glance.

Both were excited about the surprises they had in store for each other, making the end of their date night even more thrilling.

As they reached the house, Ryuuma parked the new car in the garage and then took out the bags from the trunk. Respecting Emi's surprise, he refrained from peeking into her bag.

The couple then walked into the house and headed straight to their bedroom. Ryuuma sat on the bed while Emi walked into the bathroom with the bag in her hands.

The mysterious and exciting smile on her lips intrigued him, heightening his anticipation for the surprise she had in store.

While she was gone, Ryuuma took the opportunity to prepare his own surprise. He took out a collar, a leash, and the butt tail plug from his bag.

All three items had a common theme: they were adorned with a cute cat print. He placed them neatly on the bedside table, making sure they were ready for when Emi returned.

As he arranged the items, his mind wandered to what Emi might have chosen.

Ryuuma's heart raced as he heard the bathroom door open. Emi stepped out, wearing a seductive micro bikini that accentuated her curves and showcased her beauty.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, but the confident smile on her face showed she was as eager as he was.

"What do you think?" Emi asked, striking a playful pose.

"You look absolutely stunning, Emi-chan," Ryuuma replied, his voice thick with desire and admiration.

Emi's smile widened at his praise. She then noticed the items he had laid out and walked over to inspect them, her curiosity piqued.

When she saw the collar and leash, she giggled softly, clearly intrigued. However, when her eyes fell on the butt tail plug, her expression changed. She was taken aback, her cheeks flushing a deeper shade of red.

"Ryuuma-kun, I've never... we've never touched that area before," she said hesitantly, glancing up at him with wide eyes.

Ryuuma gently took her hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "I know, Emi-chan. I thought it might be something new and exciting for us to try. But only if you're comfortable with it."

Emi looked back at the butt plug, her initial shock slowly giving way to a mix of curiosity and excitement. The idea of exploring something new with Ryuuma, of pushing their boundaries together, intrigued her.

"Okay," she said softly, a shy smile forming on her lips. "I trust you, Ryuuma-kun. Let's try it."

Ryuuma's eyes lit up with affection and anticipation. He pulled her into a gentle embrace, kissing her forehead. "Thank you, Emi-chan. We'll go slow and make sure it's enjoyable for both of us."

Emi nodded, feeling reassured by his words and his touch. The excitement of the unknown, combined with the deep trust and love she had for her husband, made her heart race with anticipation for the night ahead.

They both stared into each other eyes for a moment and then leaned in to capture the lips in a deep passionate kiss that was filled with lust and desire.
