Ethan Lu wasn't as aggressive unlike when they were inside the car. He was more gentle this time as if to wash away whatever trauma she had that she never had in the first place. Still, he wanted to make her feel secure and loved— whoever touched her, he would not let them off easily.

His usually sneaky hand didn't heedlessly wander just like it used to as it remained to cup her cheek while his other hand caressed her arm and then intertwined with her soft hands. This time, lust wasn't the emotion he gave off but overflowing love and care he had for her.

To him, she was the most precious, strong yet conquerable person he has in his heart. Although Ethan Lu trusted and was well-versed that Lexi was capable enough to protect herself, he still wanted to be her shield. Whether she was in the wrong or right, he would stand on her side.

Biased, he may admit but, that's just him— that's his love for her. After all, Lexi was a reasonable person and wouldn't go to the extreme in her deeds without a reason. Therefore, Ethan Lu would never judge her without hearing her side of the story.

After a good three minute kiss, Ethan Lu reluctantly parted from her soft lips. Her lipstick was slightly smudged on the side but, it only made her extra enticing as if asking him to clean it up for her.

"Love, you can always rely on me, hmm?" His eyes were loving, it sparkled faintly as a sudden dejection came across them.

"Thank you…" Gently smiling, her long curled lashes unhurriedly fluttered before Lexi took a slow step forward and left a peck on his thin lips. "Thank you for being there for me," With that said note, Lexi pressed her lips against his and then she leaned back.

"Thank you for supporting me," Again, Lexi placed another feather-like peck on his lips— repeating the cycle.

"Thank you for understanding me, for choosing me, for accepting who I am without asking too much in return…" Lexi did the kiss, part then utter her thanks again and again that made his heart fill with an overwhelming tide called love.

"Lastly, thank you for showering me with love— I am beyond grateful to meet and have someone like you." With those last remarks, Lexi leaned forward again, and this time, her kiss never left his lips and settled there.

She moved her lips and guided him to welcome her just like what he usually does. Her hand that was on his hand slowly let go as they slowly wrapped around his neck. As soon as her hand successfully snaked around him, her upper body leaned closer— lessening the tiny space between them.

Odd, she was telling these words while they were inside the bathroom and were both wearing formal party attire. Nevertheless, it wasn't less moving even if they were in a more romantic place.

Ethan Lu's hand swaddled around her waist as he returned her loving kiss and his tongue danced with hers. He then pulled her even closer by her waist while his other hand searched for the zipper of her dress in the back. As soon as he found it, Ethan Lu slowly unzipped it— revealing her smooth, heated bareback.

The dress slowly slid down and only her undergarments were left. Meanwhile, Lexi helped him remove his navy blue blazer suit and then unbuttoned his same hued vest and then his white suit shirt without breaking the kiss.

"Tsk, there are too many buttons." Slightly annoyed, Lexi grumbled as she unbuttoned the last button. Her complaint made him chuckle and tenderly bit her lower lip.

"Impatient, my not so innocent baby." Using the apex of his nose, Ethan Lu caressed her neckline and got a whiffed of her one of a kind scent. "I like it…" With that said note, Ethan Lu licked her collarbone that instantly sent shivers throughout her every nerve— igniting a much deeper desire inside her.

Instinctively, Lexi tilted her head back as she felt him while biting her lower lip. "Mhmm…" A soft moan escaped her mouth as his tongue tickled her neck that was pleasurable at the same time. By the next second, Lexi felt his hand stroked her slim waist and then massaged her back before it reached her bra.

Without further ado, she felt him undo her bra— freeing her firm breasts. Ethan Lu didn't fully remove it immediately as he only slid his left hand inside and cupped her right, round boob. Slowly, he fondled it as his thumb played with her aroused nipple.

"Wait…" Touching his broad shoulders, Lexi halted him from going further as they needed to shower first. She was reminded that she still had been sweating earlier and Ethan Lu had started to suck on her neck with his tongue. Alas, as usual, Ethan Lu would never consider an interruption as his mind was already in cloud nine.

"Ethan," Reluctantly, Lexi used a little force to push him away. The moment Ethan Lu was disrupted, he frowned as he raised his gaze to meet hers. Regardless, his hand never parted from her breast even though it stopped from its activity.

"Shower!" Her face was flushed by their heated kiss and from Ethan Lu's arousing touches. However, PRIORITIES! She just told herself to prepare her body for an intense night with him, hence, it would be better to be worry-free.

"Booo," Booing her with unsmiling lips and puppy eyes, Ethan Lu unenergetically complained. Yet, no matter how thirsty he was for her or how against he was with the interruption, Ethan Lu still complied as he undressed his clothes— walking topless before he set the tub to fill.

****

When the tub was half-filled, Lexi was already wearing a bathrobe while Ethan Lu impatiently watched it to be filled and check its temperature to be sure if it was correct. He then poured in some musk bubble soap that instantly lingered across every corner of the enormous bathroom.

"I bought one for myself at home." Nodding in satisfaction, Lexi uttered as she watched Ethan Lu soak his hand in the tub before he turned to her direction.

"Come here," In a low tone, Ethan Lu still felt his groin throbbed as it had been asking to be unleashed. However, Ethan Lu didn't listen to his junior's pleas, afraid that if he did, he wouldn't be able to verify the water temperature. Furthermore, as he did so, a great idea hovered in his mind— a steamy bath with her.

Lexi slyly bit her lip with her eyes smiling before she went ahead and adhered to his request— going to him. When she was in front of him, Ethan Lu hugged her waist. "Love, don't interrupt me this time, please."

"Well… we'll know." In a teasing tone, Lexi responded. Just as she replied, Ethan Lu was already pulling the strap of her bathrobe before it was completely untangled. Without a word, his hand gently brushed her leg upward to her squishy butt.

"Hehe, let me rephrase— I can't let you, sorry." Unlike his lethargic persona moments ago, Ethan Lu raised his gaze and a mischievous grin was plastered across his lips. As he bit his lower lip, at the same time, he squeezed her butt that made her slightly jolt.

"Ethan… that's unfair," Lexi gazed down at him with a raised brows, "Let's make use of that tub." Slightly tilting her head towards the bathtub, Lexi winked as she neither felt shy nor resisting. After all, Ethan Lu had already touched and kissed every part of her, hence, she didn't find any reason to be shy about anything— even if she walked naked around him.

Soon, both of them were in the tub and Lexi kept the displeased beast opposite her. Her foot was fixed on his perfectly muscular chest while she was leisurely leaning on the tub with a playful grin.

"Love, you're the one who's unfair!" Protesting, Ethan Lu decided to reach for the foot that was on his chest and massaged her forefoot. Just when he was about to kiss her when he joined her in the tub, Lexi stopped his lips by her finger and then her foot pushed him on the other side— opposite her.

"Me?" Her brows arched and slowly, the foot on his chest teasingly slid down to his abs and then to his thigh— avoiding the hard shaft that poked her earlier.

Lexi then retracted her foot and then slowly crawled towards him with a seductive grin. "Am I really unfair?"
