203 Chapter 203: Teasing (1/2)
Ahri did not bother responding to Caesar's curt response, and they soon both drifted off to sleep contemplating about two entirely different matters. Ahri was worried that Caesar didn't care about Elizabeth anymore; he seemed to distance himself more and more as of late.
The young girl tried her hardest to impress him. However, he merely congratulated her with a nod of his head. Even if Caesars didn't realize that Elizabeth was working so hard for him, Ahri surely did. It pierced her heart to see that Caesar didn't care for Elizabeth's improvements, though, she did understand why he was like that.
As a man who impressed her time and time again with his intelligence, his expectations were probably much higher than most regular people. He would not congratulate his kin for accomplishing such fundamental achievements. Instead, he wants them to strive for betterment.
With these disturbing thoughts in mind, they both drifted off to sleep, descending the room into utter silence. The howling wind outside the window was abnormally ferocious on this restless night. However, Caesar wasn't awake to admire it.
…
The next morning, Ahri surprisingly awoke before Caesar. She gazed at his peacefully sleeping figure and couldn't help but poke one of his pale cheeks. In response, his eyes fluttered ever so slightly, irradiating a red shimmer.
A small groan escaped from his thin lips as he captured Ahri's extended hand, pulling her under his body. He pinned her below him and put his knee between her legs, making it impossible for her to retreat. Ahri's eyes dilated in shock as she attempted to resist, a small blush forming on her cheeks.
Caesar's eyes were squinted as he stared down at Ahri provocatively, moving his mouth closer to hers. ”It's quite rare for you to be up so early, did you not sleep well?” he whispered in his deep, raspy voice. His voice tickled the tips Ahri's ears, and she couldn't help but squirm under his muscular body.
”I-I couldn't sleep very well, so I figured a warm bath would calm me down…” she replied, quietly. The embarrassment in her voice was evident, and the loud thumping in her chest rang in Caesar's ears, causing a playful smile to form on his lips.
”What a coincidence, I was planning on taking a bath myself,” Caesar said, ”unfortunately, there is only one batch of warm water… what are we to do?”
The hidden meaning in his words caused Ahri to blush even harder while she rolled her eyes. She was trying to keep a straight face, but the corner of lips kept twitching. Caesar's near-nude body that loomed over her was more provocation than she could handle.
”We can bathe together… I guess,” she finally relented after a few moments, pushing Caesar's body away and escaping to the bathroom. She usually wasn't this abashed. However, Caesar was rather sly today.
Once she entered the bathroom, Caesar couldn't help but release a chuckle as he stripped his clothes and joined right after. The atmosphere was slightly awkward and steamy as they both sat in the somewhat small tub.
The water rose to the very brim of the tub and Ahri was practically sitting in between Caesar's legs. Scenes from the last time they had indulged in each other kept flashing in her head, causing her to glance in Caesar's direction constantly.
Although she was trying to act like a fully matured mother as of late, she was still a rather young girl. Her experience wasn't even close to that of Caesar's; as such, the stimulation was too much for her to bear.
