Although their dinner had been rather awkward for Jeff and Jess—especially with Jess's mother telling everyone what she thought the two were doing—the two managed to endure not only their embarrassment but also their pent-up lust, and finish their meals.
Back in Jeff's room, after taking a shower to cool down their lustful heat and calm themselves, Jess and Jeff were now assembling Jess's gaming PC.
"So, what did you do this afternoon, Jess?" he asked, trying to make conversation and show that he was interested in her day. Of course, it wasn't just an act—Jeff was genuinely concerned about Jess.
Without looking at him as she kept herself busy connecting each cable to her computer, Jess gave a recap of what she had done after Jeff left for his part-time job.
After he left, Jess helped Jeff's mother with household chores.
Jeff's mother had wanted Jess to just relax at home, but with the chance to bond with Jess—whom she already treated as her own daughter—she couldn't have been happier doing chores together with her.
After that, and some tea and snacks with her aunt, Jess spent the rest of the afternoon lying down on Jeff's bed, fantasizing about all the things she wanted to do now that Jeff had stopped ignoring her and returned to her side. Of course, that included lewd and intimate things.
At some point, Jess even started touching herself while hugging Jeff's pillow. However, now that she had already experienced doing it with Jeff and knew how good it felt, touching herself wasn't enough to make her climax anymore.
With that realization, Jess went to sleep feeling a bit frustrated that she couldn't release her pent-up lust.
But it's not like she was going to tell Jeff about that part.
"So you just slept after helping Mom with chores?"
"Of course. What else do you think I would do?"
"You didn't leave the house, Jess?" Jeff asked, a little worried.
His worries came from the fact that Jeff knew that the shit bastard Trud was looking for Jess—and for him as well. At least, that's what he knew from checking Trud's Archive Update, which he had received as a reward for completing the 9th quest of the Returner Fantasy System.
Although Jess's mother hadn't told anyone from their previous apartment where they had moved, Trud could still find Jess if he used his father's connections as mayor to check with the moving company.
If that shit bastard is smart enough to think about it, Jeff thought.
Regardless of his worries, the only thing Jeff could do for now was make preparations for when Trud made his move—and at the same time, convince Jess not to go out of the house, even if it seemed like he was restraining her freedom.
"That should be all of it," Jess said, pressing the power button on the motherboard to boot her computer.
Her sudden remark snapped Jeff out of his thoughts about dealing with Trud.
Pushing the shit bastard out of his mind, Jeff moved his chair next to Jess's, focusing on her—or rather, on what they were doing: booting up her computer.
Since Jess's gaming PC was already a few years out of date, it took some time to start up. But when the monitor finally loaded the screen, Jess immediately moved her hands to cover her desktop wallpaper.
Realizing that her hands weren't enough to hide it, she quickly covered Jeff's eyes instead. However—
"I already saw it, Jess."
Grabbing her wrists, Jeff gently pulled her hands away from his eyes and saw Jess blushing, her face and ears bright red.
Her reaction to him seeing her wallpaper made Jeff feel overjoyed. After all, her desktop wallpaper was simply a picture of the two of them at their middle school graduation.
Seeing that picture proved she had been in love with him since then, but it also reminded him of how much of an idiot he had been—not noticing Jess's feelings for him, and even worse, ignoring both her and his own feelings because of the guilt he felt over being such a pervert when it came to her.
With that realization, Jeff pulled Jess into an embrace, wrapping his arms around her waist and burying his face in her breasts while still sitting in his chair.
"I'm sorry I'm such a pervert, Jess," Jeff said, his voice muffled against her chest.
Though still flustered by the picture and surprised by the sudden, intimate embrace, Jess understood what Jeff was feeling.
Returning the hug, she patted his head and consoled him warmly.
"You really are such a crybaby, Jeff."
After a while, Jeff finally calmed down from his emotional outburst thanks to Jess consoling him—both emotionally and physically.
"You're really a pervert, aren't you?" Jess grumbled, feeling Jeff's erect, throbbing rod pressing against her back.
"Well, you agreed to this, Jess," Jeff replied, tightening his embrace on her waist and burying his face in her nape while inhaling her alluring scent.
As for their current position—Jeff was sitting on his study chair while Jess sat on his lap, wrapped in his arms.
While they enjoyed the situation, a sudden idea came to Jeff.
"Isn't that picture a little out of date? How about we take some new pictures together—maybe on a date?"
Jess, of course, was delighted at the thought of Jeff inviting her on a date, excited at how it might end up like their first one during their vacation trip, where a simple night stroll on the beach had ended with lewd and naughty things.
But that was for a date. If they only needed new pictures for her wallpaper, they could take some right here, right now.
"Isn't that right, Jeff?"
The way she called his name, the look in her eyes as she turned to stare directly at him, and the sweetly seductive tone of her voice told Jeff one thing:
Jess's perverted side was in control again.
Jess grabbed her smartphone, set it on the table in timed photo mode, then she turned her head toward Jeff and leaned in for a kiss.
Jeff realized what she wanted and went along with her.
As the shutter sound echoed in the room, their kisses grew more passionate and their intimacy more intense.
Jeff moved his right hand to fondle Jess's breast through her clothes while his left slid down, caressing her thigh.
Jess didn't resist—she surrendered, or rather, offered herself to him. She grabbed his arm as if to tell him not to stop and spread her legs, inviting him to touch her further.
When they broke their kiss to catch their breath, Jess turned fully around, trapping Jeff in his chair and aggressively pulling off his shirt.
But then, the thing they had completely forgotten happened.
The door to Jeff's room opened again.
"Are you sleeping with Jeff tonight, Jess…?"
Jess's mother entered just as Jess was pulling off Jeff's shirt, making it look like Jess was assaulting him.
"At least knock before you enter someone's room, Mom!"
"At least lock the door before you start assaulting your boyfriend, my naughty daughter!"
