Milf Hunter: Seducing And Taming Beauties

Chapter 1018: Warmth Under the Kotatsu

We all sat down on the cushioned floor around the warm kotatsu table, folding our legs comfortably under the heated blanket. Tomiko sat right next to me on my right, while Haruna and Yuko sat on my left side. Kasumi sat directly opposite me.

Because of how closely we were seated under the shared blanket, my knee and toes occasionally brushed against Tomiko’s. Our thighs pressed lightly together in the cozy, intimate space, creating a quiet sense of closeness and family bond.

Haruna and Yuko took their first sips of the hot soup and let out satisfied sounds.

"It’s... delicious!" Haruna exclaimed, eyes widening with genuine delight. "Jack, this is really amazing."

Yuko nodded, her voice softer but sincere. "It really is. The broth has such a deep, comforting flavor."

I cautioned them gently, my tone protective. "Drink slowly, otherwise you might burn your tongue. It’s still very hot."

Haruna pouted cutely. "I know..."

Yuko chuckled lightly and teased, "Jack... we’re not children anymore. We can take care of ourselves."

I smiled softly, looking at them with affection. "I know. I was just worried about you two. I want everyone to enjoy the meal without any discomfort."

Tomiko kept serving more food onto my plate with motherly insistence, her movements careful and full of care. "Jack... you’re not eating enough. Here, have some more dumplings. You worked so hard today."

I tried to protest lightly, laughing a little. "I already ate a lot. I really can’t eat anymore, Oba-san."

But Tomiko wouldn’t hear it. Her eyes were warm and determined. "No, no... how can you eat so little? You poured your heart into this meal for all of us. You have to eat more so you stay strong." With that, she piled several dumplings, stir-fried vegetables, and tender slices of meat onto my plate.

To my surprise, Yuko also began adding food to my plate — a quiet but meaningful gesture. Both Kasumi and Tomiko looked momentarily surprised by Yuko’s sudden attentiveness, exchanging a quick glance, but they didn’t comment, letting the moment unfold naturally.

Yuko spoke softly, her voice carrying genuine gratitude as she sensed the emotions swirling around the table. "Jack... thank you. I know you’re busy with your own life, but thank you for coming with us and being here. It means more than you know."

I looked at her kindly, my voice steady and sincere. "Sister Yuko... we are family now. Do we really need to thank each other just for being together with our own family members? I’m happy to be here with all of you."

Yuko seemed taken aback for a second, then a genuine, soft smile spread across her face as she nodded. "Yeah... you’re right. We are family."

At that moment, as the warmth of the kotatsu enveloped us, Tomiko suddenly reached under the blanket and gently took my hand in hers. She squeezed it tightly, her fingers trembling slightly with emotion.

Leaning closer so only I could hear, she whispered with a voice full of deep thankfulness, "Jack... thank you from the bottom of my heart. You’ve brought light back into this house. I don’t know how to repay you for everything you’re doing for my sister... for all of us. You’re a blessing to this family."

Her eyes glistened with unshed tears as she held my hand a moment longer, her thumb gently stroking the back of my hand in a silent, heartfelt gesture of gratitude before slowly letting go.

Kasumi’s thoughts rang clearly in my mind through telepathy at that exact moment: [By their reactions, it seems Yuko also approves of Jack... Their relationship is good. After that night when I confronted her... after what happened with her master... ]

[I knew Yuko had started hating men. She was almost raped, and as her mother, I couldn’t even protect her properly... Now, seeing her like this with Jack, I feel she has changed. I don’t know if her aversion to men is completely gone... or if it’s only for Jack. Either way... Jack is healing us all.]

I nodded slightly at Tomiko, acknowledging her heartfelt words and the gentle squeeze of her hand under the blanket. A small, grateful smile touched her lips in return.

We finished the rest of the dinner in a warm, comfortable atmosphere, the kotatsu keeping us cozy as laughter and light conversation flowed around the table. Once everyone was done, the maids quietly cleared the dishes, their movements efficient and respectful, leaving the room feeling peaceful once again.

Haruna’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she turned to me. "Jack... come, I’ll take you for a walk. There’s a beautiful garden at the back. The flowers look especially pretty at night."

With that, she stood up and took my hand gently but firmly, her fingers intertwining with mine.

I let her lead me outside through the sliding doors into the traditional Japanese garden. The night air was cool and refreshing, carrying the faint scent of blooming jasmine and fresh grass. Moonlight filtered through the trees, casting soft silver shadows on the stone path.

As soon as we were a little deeper into the garden, away from the house lights, Haruna stopped, turned to me, and pulled me close.

She rose on her tiptoes and kissed me deeply on the lips — a passionate, grateful kiss full of emotion. Her lips were soft and warm, pressing against mine with surprising intensity.

When she finally pulled back just enough to speak, her voice was breathless and sincere. "Thank you, Jack... Without you, I know Sister Yuko would have never even thought of coming back home. You’ve brought us all together again. I’m so happy... happier than I’ve been in a very long time."

She kissed me again, harder this time, her arms wrapping around my neck as if she wanted to pour all her gratitude and love into that single moment. Her body pressed against mine, and the kiss grew more fervent, filled with relief and joy.

Using my telekinesis, I gently extended my senses and felt Tomiko’s presence nearby. She was standing quietly at the edge of the garden, partially hidden by the sliding door, silently observing us with a soft, complicated expression — a mix of warmth, approval, and a hint of melancholy.

I smiled against Haruna’s lips and whispered teasingly when we parted for air, "So... how do you want to reward me for being such a good future son-in-law?"

Haruna’s face flushed a deep crimson in the moonlight. She buried her face in my chest, her voice shy but playful. "Jack... you’re so mean for teasing me like that right now." She peeked up at me, still blushing furiously, and added softly, "But... I’ll think of something special. Just for you."

I chuckled softly, pulling her closer for one more gentle kiss on her forehead. "I’ll hold you to that."

It was getting late, the night sky now fully dark with stars beginning to twinkle above. Hand in hand, we walked back inside the house, the cool air giving way to the warm, inviting glow of the interior lights.

Inside, we saw that Yuko had already made plans to sleep close to her mother. Haruna, seeing this, immediately expressed her desire too. "I want to sleep together with everyone tonight as well. It feels like we’re finally a real family again."
