Teasing her

"What.. What are you talking about?" She held her clothes tightly in her hands with such force that it was difficult to decide whether she was trying to tear them away or holding them preciously.

"Why? What are you afraid of? That you will fall in love with me if we get any closer?" he asked in a mocking voice while his hands went to his coat that he took off and threw it on the side.

"Diana, she is my cousin. She is like family to me. Yet you are trying to show our relationship to her. If I did not know any better, I would have thought that you are jealous of her!" she was! But she would never admit it.

"I was only trying to show off my authority over you to her." she lied as she looked away. The hot water made her cheeks burnt.

The heat rising on her skin made her look redder and more enticing.

"Did it make any difference?" a soft chucked could be heard in the silent room as his hands started to work on his buttons.
