You’re trying to sneak attack! You can’t afford it!

It truly deserved to be called a proper bathroom—so many times better than the cave.

In the changing area, there was a leather stool and a rack for clothes beside it.

Lily sat timidly on the leather stool, ears perked up as she listened for sounds outside.

Letia didn’t seem to have any intention of breaking down the door, and Lily let out a small sigh of relief.

Not that it would matter even if Letia came in—after all, it wasn’t as though she hadn’t seen her before.

Lily unbuttoned her clothes, her pale skin exposed to the air.

It felt as if her whole body still carried Letia’s scent, which made Lily’s face flush red with embarrassment and at the same time filled her with disgust.

She held a towel in front of herself and, hesitating a little, opened the door to the shower stall.

A humid breath of warmth washed over her.

The bathroom had a white theme—its wall and floor tiles polished to a smooth shine.

Sunlight filtered in through the frosted glass window, making the room feel especially warm and inviting.

Inside, there were two showers and a spacious bathtub—easily big enough for two to bathe together.

But Lily had no intention of sharing a bath with Letia.

Why should she let her take advantage again—hadn’t she done that enough already?

Her whole body had already been treated as Letia’s possession, every part of her had been handled without restraint.

Lily felt as if she had no privacy left, as if she had become Letia’s “beloved s*ave.”

“I will never surrender—I won’t ever yield to you!”

Lily puffed out her cheeks and declared bravely, then turned on the shower.

Warm water cascaded down onto her, making her feel especially comfortable.

In the cave, Lily had been able to bathe as well, but there had been no shower gel.

She hadn’t wanted to ask Letia to buy any for her—doing so would have felt too humiliating.

Here it was different.

Various kinds of shower gel hung on the wall.

The moment she opened a bottle, waves of fragrance wafted out.

Some of the scents were hard to describe—Lily disliked overly strong fragrances.

She preferred lighter, more elegant ones.

After much picking and choosing, Lily settled on a grapefruit-scented shower gel.

Its faint, refreshing fragrance gave off a gentle, sunlit feeling.

She squeezed some shower gel onto a towel and gently rubbed her delicate skin.

The gel spread smoothly across her body, creating a thick foam that covered her, hiding the shy parts.

Although nothing inappropriate was showing, there was still an oddly risqué feeling to it.

Her fingers accidentally brushed against her chest, making her heart flutter uncontrollably.

Lily quickly shut her eyes, trying her best not to look at her rosy, fair skin.

She gently rubbed her hair, the silver strands picking up the fragrance of the shampoo.

With her eyes still closed, she reached out and found the hot-water valve.

The rich foam rinsed away, leaving her skin smooth, soft, and glowing.

A faint grapefruit scent lingered on her body, completely erasing the traces of Letia’s presence.

Feeling especially delighted, Lily’s face broke into a happy smile.

She stepped carefully into the bathtub, the warm water washing over her calves.

Slowly, she eased herself down into the tub, letting the water rise up to her shoulders.

She closed her eyes in comfort, feeling as though she were floating in the sea—or perhaps resting in Letia’s arms.

Her cheeks suddenly turned bright red.

Why on earth was she thinking about Letia’s face?

She slapped her own cheeks to calm herself down.

Just then, the sound of the door lock clicking open reached her ears.

“Lily, how’s the water temperature?”

Lily’s face went pale with shock.

She instinctively looked toward the frosted glass sliding door of the shower stall.

Letia’s silhouette was clearly visible—she seemed to be undressing.

“I locked the door! How did you get in?!”

“Magic. It’s easy to unlock a door with magic.”

“You cheated—sneaking in like that! You’re playing dirty!”

“I’ve noticed your insults are getting cuter and cuter.”

With a sudden motion, Letia slid the shower door open.

She stood there, completely unclothed, her natural form making Lily blush furiously.

Her eyes couldn’t help but flicker toward Letia’s full curves before quickly looking away again.

Not that it mattered—Letia would soon do as she pleased anyway, and Lily had already steeled herself for it.

Fine then—come if you must!

She had grown used to it.

No matter how much Letia tried to tame her, she would never submit and would still glare at her defiantly!

But Letia made no move to pounce.

She simply stepped under the showerhead and turned on the water.

The hot spray streamed down her body, tracing the curves of her figure.

Lily covered her chest with her arms and stole a glance at her.

Droplets of water clung to Letia’s fair skin, making her look particularly beautiful.

But why wasn’t she coming over to tease her?

Was she planning to tempt her by bathing first?

Hmph—don’t flatter yourself!

I hate you far too much to fall for you.

On the contrary, I’ll seduce you instead—make you lose control and show your beastly side!

And when you finally can’t hold back, I’ll laugh right in your face!

“Lily… could it be that you’re feeling a little unsatisfied?”

“W-what?” Lily yelped in surprise. “W-what nonsense are you talking about?!”

“You only resist on the surface, but deep down you enjoy my training, don’t you?”

Warm water streamed down Letia’s dark hair as she opened one eye, glaring at Lily with a sharp, certain look.

“I’ve trained you so many times.

Sure, you fought back hard at the time, but afterward you always looked so satisfied.

Don’t tell me you’ve been using me as a tool to fulfill your own desires?”

“Stop talking nonsense!” Lily shouted, her face bright red as she slapped at the water’s surface.

“How could I possibly enjoy your training? I can’t stand you!”

“Then how about we conduct an experiment?”

“W-what experiment…?” Lily asked, her voice unsteady.

“You don’t need to know the details.

All you have to do is lie willingly in my arms and accept my training.”

“Who—who would do that! Go away, you big bully!”

Lily grabbed her towel, scrunched it into a ball, and hurled it at Letia.

Letia didn’t dodge.

The towel smacked her in the face, splashing water everywhere, but she only looked delighted, picking up the towel to wipe her face.

“Not bad… the towel even smells like Lily.”

“Ahhh! Shameless! Absolutely shameless!”

Lily fumbled around for something hard to throw at Letia’s face.

But there was nothing within reach by the bathtub—only air.

Just as Lily prepared to resist further, Letia slowly moved closer.

Lily blushed, covering her chest nervously as she swallowed hard.

“A-are you coming again?” she asked, her face red as a cherry.

“Fine—come if you must. I’m ready.

It’s not as if there’s any part of me you haven’t already explored!”

Letia said nothing, merely smiling as she stepped into the bathtub.

The water level rose, spilling over the rim in waves.

“So… it’s going to be a lovers’ bath this time?” Lily sneered.

“Heh.

You think being in the water will make me afraid of you?

I’ve already figured it out—you’re just going to use the buoyancy to make me feel all lightheaded, aren’t you?”

Letia still didn’t reply.

She simply sat across from Lily with a pleasant smile.

Lily stared at Letia sitting so close and suddenly didn’t know what to do.

“W-why aren’t you attacking me?” she asked nervously.

“See?

And you claim you’re not unsatisfied.” Letia teased with a playful grin.

“I haven’t even touched you yet, and you’re already excited, aren’t you?”

“W-who’s excited?! Not me!” Lily protested furiously.

“If you really have the guts, then don’t touch me at all.

I’d be absolutely thrilled!”
