Reincarnated As The Villainess's Son

Chapter 346  [Hot Springs] [4]

Siersha now stood naked.

Her back was to me.

My heart skipped a beat.

Steam curled around her bare skin, droplets tracing the curve of her spine, slipping over her hips, down—

Don't look. Don't look. Don't—

I looked.

Shit. Even though I could only see her back, it was still too much.

Siersha had an amazing figure—I'd never deny that.

She quickly crossed her arms, covering herself as she turned slightly.

"Close your eyes," she mouthed, barely moving her lips.

I forced them shut, but the heat crawling up my neck betrayed me.

'Inna!' [<How did you get into this situation?>]

'I will tell you later, first can you please mask my presence?' [<Hm. Why?>]

'Just do it.' [<Okay.>]

The sound of her shifting echoed in my ears.

"You're being weirdly quiet," Zenith called over the rush of water.

Siersha turned on her shower, and the cold spray hit me first.

I clenched my jaw, barely holding back a curse as the icy water soaked my hair.

"Just tired," Siersha replied, her voice steady, even as her fingers dug into my shoulder for support.

Zenith hummed. "You should sleep after this. Might help."

"I will."

With my eyes closed, my other senses sharpened—too much.

The warmth of her body.

Her ragged breath.

Her soft touch.

All of it made it worse.

"Zenith."

Siersha called her.

I cracked my eyes open slightly.

Her arm was still across her chest and private part that was—right in front of my face.

"..."

Why am I disappointed? "Hm? Yeah?" Zenith replied, while I closed my eyes.

"Do you like Himmel?"

Siersha asked, making my lips twitch.

Zenith choked on air. "W-what kind of question is that!?"

Siersha hummed, shifting slightly.

Her thigh brushed against mine, bare and warm.

"I was just curious," she said casually, as if she wasn't pressed up against me in a space far too damn small.

"I don't like him," Zenith muttered. "Maybe."

That should've been the end of it.

But Siersha wasn't done.

Her fingers twitched against my shoulder. "I think he likes you, you know."

Silence.

For a long moment, Zenith said nothing.
