Li Xueyue shrank into the corners of the pool, as Yu Zhen took off his clothes. Her eyes lingered on his body, hard as a stone, with ridges and contours that warmed her cheeks. She always knew he trained early in the mornings, but it was difficult for her to fathom his body. She had to look away, but found her eyes wandering back to him.
His skin was kissed by the sun, golden like flowing honey. When his blazing eyes met hers, she knew what was to come.
"The bath oil smells nice," she blurted out. "Perhaps we can do it afterwards?"
Yu Zhen settled into the water. His lips curled into a smile. She was on the other side of the pool. The steam from the hot water covered the curve of her hips, and the water covered her legs. Even so, his senses were heightened. He focused on her and nothing else.
"Sure, we can do it afterwards as well."
Her eyes widened, like a deer before an arrow. She licked her bottom lip, unsure of what to say.
