Bab 94: Rosella...

"Rather longer than you stayed in the river."

Hazel's head fully jotted upwards, not expecting anyone to come in at this time. Hazel folded her legs together, hiding her skin beneath the flowers grazing the warm water. "What...are you doing here?"

"I should be asking you that."

"As you can see, I...I am having a bath," Hazel said, still fazed that she was starkly naked before this man. Though they had had sex together, that was when she wasn't herself. Now she was, and she even felt more naked than the first people to figure out they are naked for the first time.

"A bath I made for you, even a thank you might suffix," he said, walking straight to Hazel whose heart kept beating the more he did. She wanted to just disappear into steam by being boiled by the water, however that was too unreal to even fantasize about.
