A Luxury We Cannot Afford

(From Demetrius's Perspective)

I had no idea why she was flirting with me when she said she did not want to do anything other than take a bath. Did she not realize she was flirting?

"Dem…"

"Yea?"

"Let's use the big one. The water is hot there. I mean, we can just reduce the temperature, so it's just warm water, not too hot," she said. Her eyes were twinkling with anticipation. I had to give in right away. 

"Well, if you want to…"

I sat on the bed shirtless while she excitedly told the maids to prepare the other bath for us right away. 

"Can you do it immediately?" she asked. 

"It won't take more than fifteen minutes," a maid replied. 

"And the temperature of the water should not be more than ninety-eight degrees Fahrenheit."

"Yes, Your Highness. We will make sure of that."

"Thank you," Blue said and turned to me. "Do you want to do something in the meantime?"
