Yet the moment his hand made contact, Scarlett's eyes fluttered open. Her gaze was hazy and drowsy as she looked up at Damian, her voice hoarse. "Is the water ready?"
Damian stared down at her, a mischievous glint in his eyes and a faint smirk playing on his lips. "It's all set. Waiting just for you."
There was a knowing look in his tone, and Scarlett sensed he had something playful in mind. She could vaguely guess what would happen next, but she did not turn him away. Instead, she looped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder.
Feeling no resistance from her, Damian quickened his pace. He carried her into the bathroom and gently lowered her into the bathtub before crouching beside it. "Darling, may I join you for a bath?"
Scarlett knew exactly what he intended. Steam filled the room, bathed in warm orange lighting that made Damian's features look exceptionally handsome. Her heart fluttered softly.
Before she could make up her mind, the word slipped out. "Yes."
Delighted, Damian quickly stripped off his clothes and stepped into the tub. Water sloshed over the rim the moment he settled down. He reached out to touch her leg. "You've been worn out these past few days. Let me rub them for you."
His fingers barely brushed her skin when Scarlett tensed and squirmed away. It was not that she disliked his touch, but she was extremely sensitive, and her reaction was instinctive.
Damian pulled his hand back, grinning. "What's wrong?"
Warm steam swirled around her face. "I'm... sensitive."
Damian laughed softly. "There isn't a single part of you I haven't touched. Why get shy now?"
"I'm not shy," she mumbled, stubborn to admit her embarrassment.
Seeing her flustered state, he grew bolder and teased her further. "Then how about I rub somewhere else?"
His eyes drifted toward her inner thighs.
Scarlett shot him a sharp glance. "You..."
"I mean it," Damian said earnestly, meeting her eyes.
