Villain Ch 1813. Bathing Her
Allen turned back to the bath, adjusting the faucet. Steam began to curl in the air, mixing with the faint scent of cedar soap he’d uncapped and left by the tub. The sound of rushing water filled the silence, but his presence swallowed the room whole.
Azura sat perched on the counter, bare, legs pressed tight together, arms hugging herself—not that it hid anything from him.
“You’re staring,” he said without turning around, his voice cool but edged with amusement.
Azura startled, her lips parting. “I—I’m not!”
He glanced over his shoulder. Sharp eyes. The faintest smirk. “You are.”
Her face burned hotter. She clenched her fists in her lap, muttering, “You’re impossible…”
Allen turned the water off, testing the temperature with his hand before straightening. He didn’t rush. Didn’t hurry. Just walked toward her, steady and deliberate, as though every step had weight. He stopped right between her knees, his height forcing her to tilt her head back.
“You’re still tense,” he murmured. His hands reached up, not to grab, but to brush her hair back from her damp forehead. “Relax, Azura. You survived me.”
Her breath hitched. The way he said it—so casual, like she’d been tested and passed—made her thighs clench in spite of herself.
“I wasn’t… scared,” she muttered weakly.
“You were.” He didn’t sugarcoat it. His thumb traced her cheekbone, slow, grounding. “But you still let me in. That’s braver than most.”
Her chest fluttered. She wanted to argue, to say something snappy, but the words tangled in her throat. So she just nodded, lips pressed together, heat blooming in her chest.
Allen finally moved, scooping her up again without warning.
Azura yelped, arms flying around his neck. “Allen!”
He chuckled low in his throat, carrying her with effortless strength toward the tub. “I told you. You’re mine. You think I’d let you stumble around after what we just did?”
She buried her face against his shoulder, her blush spreading all the way to her ears. “Y-you’re ridiculous…”
“And you’re small,” he said simply, stepping into the steam-filled space. “Easy to carry. Convenient.”
She gasped, pulling her head back to glare at him. “Convenient?! Did you just call me—”
Allen smirked and lowered her into the warm water before she could finish.
Azura let out a startled moan as the heat lapped over her sensitive skin. It was almost too much, like the water was reminding her body of every place he’d touched, every stretch, every burn. She sank in, trembling, her body betraying her again.
Allen knelt beside the tub, sleeves rolled up now, dipping a cloth into the water. He wrung it out with efficient hands, then ran it gently over her shoulder.
Azura stared at him, stunned. “You’re… actually c me.”
“I said you needed a bath,” Allen replied coolly, dragging the cloth down her arm, “so I’m giving you one. What did you expect? That I’d let you wobble into the shower, half-dizzy, and collapse?”
Her lips parted. “…I didn’t think you’d do it yourself.”
His eyes flicked up to hers, unreadable. “Get used to it.”
Her chest fluttered again, her heart squeezing tight.
He moved slowly, deliberately, running the warm cloth over her chest, her stomach, down her thighs. He didn’t leer, didn’t rush, just… cleaned her. His composure was maddening.
“Allen…” Her voice cracked, her cheeks heating again.
“Mm?”
“You don’t have to—”
“Yes, I do.” He cut her off without hesitation. “You gave yourself to me. That means I take care of you.”
Her breath hitched again. Words failed her. She just sat there, biting her lip, letting him wash her like she was porcelain.
When he brushed lower, her thighs instinctively clamped shut. He didn’t push. Didn’t scold. Just looked at her calmly.
“Let me.”
Her face burned crimson. Slowly, shakily, she parted them.
The cloth was gentle. His hand steadied her hip as he cleaned her carefully, every motion precise, like he was defusing something fragile.
Azura trembled, her breath shallow, her heart pounding so hard she thought it might crack her ribs. The heat of the bath, the scent of soap, the weight of his presence—it was overwhelming.
She found herself whispering, almost without thinking, “You’re… too much.”
Allen’s smirk was faint, sharp. “You’ve only seen the surface.”
Her stomach flipped violently. She slapped a hand over her face. “Stop saying things like that!”
“Why?” He tilted his head, leaning closer. “You like it.”
She groaned into her hand. “You’re impossible…”
His fingers tilted her chin up again. His eyes were sharp. His mouth was closer.
And then she kissed him.
It wasn’t careful this time. It wasn’t timid. She leaned in, heart hammering, and pressed her lips to his, desperate, needy.
Allen froze only for a second before kissing her back, hard.
Her hands curled into his damp hair. She tugged, pulling him closer, closer—until her lips brushed his jaw, his throat. She left a quick bite, grinning against his skin when he hissed.
Her body moved on instinct, reckless, driven by the heat still lingering between her thighs. She grabbed his arm. “Come in.”
Allen raised a brow. “In?”
She tugged again, her blush betraying her boldness. “The tub. With me.”
His smirk returned, dark and knowing. “You’re sure?”
“Yes.”
That was all he needed.
He stepped into the bath. The water rippled, splashing lightly as his body slid in opposite hers.
Azura’s breath caught. He was close. Too close. Steam clung to his skin, droplets tracing the ridges of his chest, the muscles of his arms. She swallowed hard, her face burning.
And then—he pulled her onto his lap.
Azura squeaked, instinctively clinging to his shoulders. “Allen—!”
“You said together,” he murmured, calm as ever, his hands gripping her hips. “So together.”
Her blush deepened, her heart racing. She tried to glare at him, but her lips betrayed her, curving upward.
“You’re unbelievable,” she whispered.
Allen smirked, leaning closer. “And you’re mine.”
Her pulse jumped again, her lips trembling as she kissed him once more.
This time, she didn’t hesitate. She pulled him deeper into the water, into herself, into the moment.
