Master, I Swear I Didn’t Mean To! - Chapter 92

Had he not seen Eki’s naked body just last night? And when they fell, her soft warm skin had pressed against his whole body.

‘Damn it…’

Even now, if he closed his eyes, Eki’s naked body came vividly to mind. Just the sound of water made his aroused body return to that moment. Cassius crossed his arms with his back toward Eki and shook one leg. His appearance seemed anxious enough that Venta, who had followed him into the bathroom, spoke up.

【 Cassius, aren’t you going to wash? 】

“…I’m fine.”

【 Why? Eki washes every single day. 】

“I’m not like humans.”

【 Dragons stay clean even without washing? Do you use special magic? 】

“Yes.”

【 Magic is enough? 】

“Be quiet. You fairies don’t wash either.”

【 Fairies are the purest lifeforms! Dust doesn’t stick to us! 】

Sure you are. Cassius answered half-heartedly and closed his eyes again. Then Venta perched on top of his head and hummed at Eki.

【 Cassius is a dragon, so he doesn’t wash, he doesn’t wash. 】

“You!”

【 Don’t call me ‘you’. I’m Venta! 】

“Master, why are you so noisy?”

Eki suddenly asked. He heard the splash of water, which meant she had just lifted her body after being submerged.

She had said she liked how spacious the tub was, and she was using it very thoroughly. Did her own bathroom not have a tub this big? Should he install one…

“Huh? Venta?”

【 Hi, Eki! 】

“…But do you even have a gender?”

【 Nope. Even when I look at your body, I don’t feel anything in particular, so you don’t have to be embarrassed! 】

Eki let out a long sigh. She seemed too drained to scold anymore. Instead, she stirred the surface of the water with her hand and invited the fairy.

“Then do you want to come into the water too? It’s warm and feels nice.”

【 Huh? Really? Can I? 】

Venta hopped off Cassius’s head. The fairy darted to Eki.

【 I was actually curious about what a bath is like. 】

“Sure, sure. You don’t have anything to take off anyway, so just come in.”

【 Okay! Ah… Cassius, can’t you come in too? 】

“What?”

Eki’s eyes widened and Cassius’s back jolted. Before Eki could answer, he spoke first.

“Baths are meant to be taken alone.”

【 But Eki asked me to come in too. 】

“You’re like a pet, so it doesn’t matter.”

【 That’s mean! You’re not human either since you’re a dragon, so it should be fine. You be a pet too! 】

“I am not a pet!”

Maybe it was the steam, or maybe it was simply that Eki was behind him, naked in the bath. Either way, Cassius’s head grew hotter. He reacted far more sharply than usual, raising his voice.

“This bath is taking too long. Instead of washing quickly and getting out, why did you drag the fairy in?”

“I just got in not long ago, okay? And washing with Venta won’t make it take any longer.”

“Be quiet.”

“You asked first though…”

Muttering, Eki began to make bubbles.

The sound of bubbles popping. The soft friction of skin brushing skin. Those faint, ticklish noises made Cassius unconsciously focus. He naturally imagined which part of herself Eki was lathering and rinsing.

First her arms, then her neck, then slowly down her upper body. She would rub her round smooth chest, then move past her concave stomach…

‘Insane.’

Cassius jolted and shook his head violently. There were limits to being improper. How could he let his mind wander over his disciple’s bath sounds?

Below, he was already standing painfully hard. Even a teenage boy discovering lust for the first time would be better off than him. Cassius cursed silently as he pressed his thighs together.

At that moment, Eki asked.

“Master, do you want to come in too?”

What?

From his lower back to his nape, flame erupted in an instant. He clenched his arms tighter and ground his teeth.

“Say something reasonable. I said I’m not going in.”

“Why not? You can just get in the water.”

“You told me not to look at your body.”

“Well, ahem, ahem.”

Eki cleared her throat and shyly said,

“Actually, I poured a lot of bubbles into the tub just now. Even if you come in… you won’t see anything.”

…Damn it.

Cassius took a deep breath. Eki probably didn’t know how violent a temptation her words were.

Even though she knew a single kiss made him lose his composure, she was provoking him this cutely?

Cassius shut his eyes tightly and rubbed his forehead with a rough palm. But unfortunately, the moment his sight was blocked, the water sounds grew louder. So did her temptation.
