"Just as you suggested, Ethan, weâll need to measure everything again from the beginning. Now, hurry and take off your clothes."
Ethan couldnât hide his momentary shock at Lilithâs unexpected demand, made so suddenly in the middle of the day.
While he didnât particularly mind undressing in front of herâsince she was now, for all intents and purposes, his wifeâthere was still a time and place for these things.
Not only was the timing odd, but her insistence that he strip right here, in the dormitory space where both Eris and Isabel were also present, left him unsure of how to respond. As he was still processing her request, Lilith turned to Eris.
"Eris~. How about you go take a bath with Isabel for a little while?"
"Okay!"
"Iâll take Eris for her bath now, Lilith. Weâll be gone for a good three hours, so take your time~."
With a natural ease, Isabel took Eris and disappeared into her waiting room, as if this had been planned.
â¦Anyone would think the two of them were entirely in sync.
Ethan noted Isabelâs swift departure. As Lilithâs oldest friend, Isabel seemed to intuitively understand Lilithâs desires and quickly made herself scarce. With no one left around, Ethanâs excuses to escape had also vanished. Not that heâd particularly wanted to run in the first place.@@novelbin@@
"Alright, Lilith. If you really want this that muchâ¦"
Lilithâs odd behavior was something he was used to, and her openly showing her personal desires in this way was nothing new. He was fairly certain she had some other excuse in mind and was planning to use this as an opportunity to do something intimate with him. Although she often looked innocent on the outside, she was, after all, a rather lascivious maid who often harbored such thoughts.
And, as Ethan had no particular objections to her behavior, he quietly removed his shirt and waited for her touch.
