"Is that how you ask for favors?" Jose leaned in a bit closer to Avie.
For some reason, her look of fear mixed with feigned ferocity just made him want to tease her.
Of course, if something really did happen between them, it would be playing right into Victoria's hands.
Jose was certainly not about to fall into that trap.
So, right at the edge of the trap, he'd tease her all the same, but not a bit less.
But he would never step foot into the trap himself.
Avie had been backed up to the edge of the bathtub by him.
The bathtub had a constant temperature feature, so she wouldn't feel cold, but Avie was still shivering.
Not long ago in the woods, they couldn't see each other clearly, and the darkness served as a cover, so she felt less ashamed.
But now, the light in the bathroom was so bright.
Bright enough for her to see the droplets of water on his shoulders.
But she only dared to let her gaze rest on his shoulders, nowhere else she dared to look.
