Chapter 165. A Show (VS)
"She frowned, "You are not joining me?" She asked when he just sat by the edge of the bed after tucking her in.
"Need to wash first," he said nonchalantly and proceeded to take off his shirt.
Mauve felt all the blood rush to her head as she tried to keep her composure. It didn’t help that he made constant eye contact with her as he took his shirt off.
She looked away from him and said, "Yeah, I-I forgot about that." Mauve’s eyes turned to slit as she spoke. Why was she stuttering?
She could feel his gaze on her and from the corner of her eyes, she could see him lean closer. Her skin tingled. A loud knock echoed in the room and Mauve nearly jumped out of her skin.
She looked to see Jael smiling. She glared at him and he stood up from the bed but didn’t go to the door. He just loudly gave an order, "Come in."
The door opened immediately and two servants walked in heads bowed as they held the tub and water. Mauve poked from under the sheets watching them as they walked to the corner of the room.
They placed them on the floor, bowed, and fled out of the room. As soon as the door closed, Jael proceeded to take off the rest of his clothes. Mauve reddened and slipped under the sheets as she came face to face with his rear, as he had chosen to take off his clothes right next to the bed.
He walked away from her bare as the day he was born and stepped into the tub. Mauve did her very best not to stare but failed miserably. As he made to sit in the tub, their eyes met and he smirked at her. She knew immediately that he knew just exactly what he was doing.
