Zeph liked her answer and was probably the best one that she could have given him. Was it the right one, that was up to them to decide.
As they got out of the bath and dried off while occasionally kissing the two of them both knew that it wasn't completely fair to make her second time with him or anyone for that matter a test that had the odds stacked against her.
But what in life was far, and she was the one who wanted to be tested.
Yes, she could have had him in the tub and all to herself for a little while, but in not doing so, and only enjoying each other's company and touch it showed them both that even in what was at least for the time being a purely physical relationship romance could be found.
Perhaps it was because his first time was something that he shared with both Sonya and Laxana, even if it was two separate acts at first, Zeph could not help but feel that it wasn't a completely unfair situation for her.
