Chapter 73: I love you...(R-18)

"You're quite cute," he remarked playfully, causing seraphina to blush even deeper.

Unable to bear his teasing any longer, she nipped at his shoulder. "Don't tease me further, or..."

Attempting to appear fierce, she resembled more of a kitten than a lioness a moment ago, a fact that amused raven. "Alright, I won't tease you anymore," he relented with a chuckle.

Seraphina huffed inwardly, still trying to assert herself. "Fine, put me down and leave me be," she said, her voice tinged with shyness.

"Why? You sure?" Raven feigned innocence.

Growing impatient, seraphina blurted out, "I need to bathe, so go!"

"Oh? Can't we bathe together? It's not like we haven't seen each other naked before, right?" Raven teased further, enjoying her flustered response.

"That was a something different ," she insisted, cheeks burning.
