I'd made a promise to the Shadows—that I'd finally take their virginities after the battle. Fortunately, none of them had fallen, though it was no surprise that after a clash like that, we all needed rest. I'd told them to take their time recovering, and once we had, it was time for me to make good on my word.
I lounged in the vast bath, easily large enough to hold fifty more people without feeling cramped, and sank into the hot spring, letting its warmth seep into my bones. The heat relaxed every muscle, making me feel as if I could melt right into it.
Then, the door to the bath opened, and one by one, twelve women filed in, each wrapped in nothing but thin towels barely covering their curves. It was technically a mixed bath now, though I was the only one with the privilege of seeing these beauties bare before me.
