Master, I Swear I Didn’t Mean To! - Chapter 80

Eki sneaked a glance at Cassius and lifted one leg out of the bathtub. The water ran off her leg in streams, splattering softly as she stepped onto the floor. At the sound of the water dripping and her wet feet hitting the tiles, Cassius’s shoulders twitched immediately.

“What are you doing. Why did you come out?”

“I’m trying to reach the shelf.”

He closed his mouth without further comment. But each time she took a step, he flinched first and backed away as if startled.

The chain pulled taut. Eki stretched her arm as far as she could to reach the edge of the shelf, but because Cassius kept retreating she couldn’t grab the container.

“Master, you can’t keep moving away. Come here.”

“What? W-Why should I?”

“Because my hand can’t reach the shelf!”

Did he think she was going to eat him or something.

Whether it was the hot water or the sudden realization that she was stark naked in the same space as Cassius, Eki’s face grew a vivid peach color.

While she grumbled, Cassius squeezed his eyes shut and stepped backward toward her.

But trying to step backward while looking at the floor was already difficult, and blocking his own vision made it inevitable that he would slip on the wet tiles.

“Ah, Master!”

Eki rushed forward on instinct. Thankfully, she caught his back before he fell. But in the process, his arms flailed and his hand landed squarely on Eki’s chest.

Yes. Her chest.

“……”

The two of them jerked like they had been struck by lightning, then froze solid.

Eki’s breathing grew heavier. She slowly lowered her head with a creak. Cassius’s hand was cupping one side of her b****t.

It’s the luck potion.

What were the chances that a man who nearly fell backward would end up grabbing the chest of the person helping him? This was the luck potion’s work. And the exact kind of ‘luck’ that would leave Eki the most flustered.

When she inhaled, she felt the heat of his palm even more clearly. He was unexpectedly warm. Warmer and damper than she was after climbing out of the bath.

Is he sweating?

Was he so tense he broke into a sweat?

Eki squeezed her eyes shut. He wasn’t even gripping tightly. His hand was barely touching her, yet her areola tingled painfully. She could feel her n****e stiffening.

After standing frozen for a long while, she grabbed the back of Cassius’s hand.

“M-Master. Please let go.”

Only then, as if released from a petrification spell, Cassius jerked away from her. Not stopping there, he muttered something that might have been an apology or might not, then scrambled toward the door to leave the bathroom.

Naturally, Eki was dragged along by the chain.

“Ah! Master! Wait!”

Still flailing naked, Eki stumbled forward. Too late remembering the chain, Cassius spun back around and caught her.

Yes. He caught her again in the flooded bathroom when she almost fell. And this time they were facing each other.

Cassius’s round pupils stretched long and vertical like those of a reptile. His gaze dropped as if pulled by some irresistible invisible force. Like water droplets sliding down her shoulders, his eyes traveled down her body. Eki jolted in panic and pushed him away.

“Eek! Don’t look!”

“S-Sorry. Wait, don’t thrash around!”

“Pervert! You said you wouldn’t look!”

“Eki, stop!”

Their unstable posture made them wobble, and they ultimately fell. But Cassius twisted his body at the last moment, wrapped around her, and rolled across the marble floor, so Eki avoided injury despite being completely naked. But the important point was that she was completely naked.

“C-Close your eyes!”

Eki threw both hands up and covered Cassius’s eyes. At the same time her full b*****s pressed against his collarbone. Water dripped from Eki’s body. Her soaked clothes clung to her. Through the thin layers Cassius could feel her warmth. And her soft skin scent drifted over him. His eyes flew open under her palms.

“Gasp.”

Eki breathed in sharply. But not because Cassius grabbed her wrist. It was because beneath Eki’s plump thigh, an aroused and fully e***t c**k twitched urgently.

“…Y-You’re hard?”

Cassius didn’t answer. Instead he clenched his teeth so hard it made a grinding sound. A deep blush spread from his neck all the way to his forehead.
