Chapter 712: Games in a bath.
"Susu, should i draw you a bath?"
He asked the question again because she had gone still when he asked the first time. He didn’t stop at the question but put his hands on her shoulders.
She sighed deeply and closed her eyes when the warmth of his body engulfed her. He had even gone ahead to call her Susu as he said he would in his texts. It felt nice being like this, somewhat like the old times.
He leaned his head down and took a whiff of her hair. She was using lilac shampoo now, from the flowers he had sent her. It thrilled him to know that she had not wasted them.
"Just a bath, nothing more." he whispered.
She nodded.
He let go of her shoulders and stepped away from her. He had to go in person and draw that bath now. She liked warm water with bath bombs, some scented oil and a few toys to keep her company.
While he went off to do that for her, she stayed behind, a nervous wreck. Scarlet squatted down and sighed loudly. She had made a resolution to start their relationship from the beginning.
They had to start from dating and then progress to this point. She beat her heart which was too excited. "Be still, be still...." she mumbled.
Severus walked by her, rolled his hound eyes, walked to the pantry and returned with snacks only to find her still in the same position he had left her.
"She has lost it." the hound mumbled. What was so scary about her husband that she was acting as if he was a monster which was going to swallow her at any moment.
The hound parked it’s butt in the living room and concentrated on the task of enjoying it’s soap operas and snacks. The affairs between husband and wife were not his business.
When Esong returned to the kitchen, he found her in the same position Severus had left her. He didn’t say a word but carried her up and took her to the bathroom which smelled so intoxicating. It was because he had thrown petals of the golden flowers in the water.
"Mmm." Scarlet wondered.
Lanta had told her that it was one of the most precious flower the goddess Flora grew. It was rather doubtful that she could give out so many for them to be used this carelessly.
Scarlet had asked the representative of the flower fairies on the inter-realm game council to request for special flowers for the opening ceremony and she got a resounding no.
Why did it seem easy for him to get them?
She was lost in the thoughts that she hardly noticed when he snapped his fingers and her clothes just vanished.
"Oy.." she said in shock when she noticed and dove into the bath immediately.
The man had powers and he was using them shamelessly now. She was very sure that this would neither be the first nor last time he was undressing her like this.
She heard a splash and knew that he had joined her in the bath.
"Esong Wu, where did you learn such tricks of undressing someone with the snap of your fingers from?" she turned around and asked.
The bath was large so she was on one end and he another. He didn’t like the distance so he teleported to her.
He had a grin on his face when he arrived. "I love having powers. I don’t know how i lived my whole life without them. I have been learning a lot from Nyx and i must say that humans are really clueless. Mental strength is nothing in comparison to this."
She sort of sneered at the man that had been human up until half a year or so ago and he was so easily calling the others humans now. He had certainly assimilated faster than she did.
He tried to hug her from the front but she teleported away and laughed loudly. She put her hand in the water and used her powers to splash some onto his face from where she was.
Esong put his hands on his waist and he smirked. "So you want to play, huh?"
She wiggled her brows and dove down, disappearing and then reappearing at another end of the bath. He on the hand appeared where she had been but he was a few seconds late.
"Ha-ha, missed me." she cackled and repeated the actions of diving down.
The two engaged in a game of cat and mouse, enjoying themselves and having a good time. She did not stop laughing for single second during the game which she started. It was easy and simple, thought free and relaxing, a good time of no consequence, just silliness. When she tired of it, she stopped escaping and allowed herself to be caught.
Esong was quick to wrap his hands around her waist and look at her with a suggestion in his eyes.
"Now that i have caught you, i should be rewarded for my efforts, right?"
"No, you promised that this is just a bath." she replied.
Like a slippery eel, she somehow escaped his hold but didn’t teleport away this time. Instead, she floated on top of the water. She didn’t even need to use her powers to float. Thanks to the pearl she won in the small world games, she had developed some abilities of sea creatures, like floating and breathing underwater.
Esong joined her, floating beside her. They both looked at the ceiling of the bathroom which Tridon had covered in his images, paintings of waves, mermaids on rocks and waterfalls.
"Exactly how much time does the god of the sea spend in our house?" he asked.
She giggled and replied, "More than you could guess. This is practically his home away from home."
"It is amazing that none of them followed us back." he said.
He thought one of the underground deities would have followed them surely.
"We are not that interesting anymore so they have gone to search for drama elsewhere. i noticed a long time ago that they show up when something is going one. The rest of the time, they are nowhere to be seen." she answered. She turned her head to face him and asked, "Does the goddess of flowers favor you in some way? Why can you get flowers from her when the rest of us can’t?"
"She owes Nyx." he replied.
He turned his head to her and said seriously, "Are you ready to talk to him? I know that there are things which he wants to apologize for and things you want to say to him. The two of us come as one package now, it wouldn’t be fair or right for one of us to be on good terms with you when the other is not."
He stopped floating and righted his body, but that didn’t seem to be comfortable so he sat with his legs crossed and continued to float.
She did the same and faced him, her mind completely absent of the fact that they were both naked. If he had not introduced such a heavy subject, she would be embarrassed otherwise.
He reached for her hands and held them both in his. "If you are not in the mood to speak to him then we can always do it another time. I just think that if we all want a clean slate then we should get rid of everything bad from our past and move on with nothing but good vibes."
