“ With how intense you are looking at me, I assume you are surprised?” He came just close enough where I sat that his knee brushed my own.

     “ Surprised? More like confused. Why… are you here? Let alone in a bath with me?!”

He must have not liked my tone because he scowled and spun his finger above me.

     “ Turn that way,” he said with a sneer, pointing away from the door. I spun still not objecting. My head was spinning as his scent began to take over the area once again. What was this he was doing? Was this just a display of his dominance or did it mean something else? I should have paid more attention about lycans when I had the chance. They are just such a rare encounter I never bothered. He touched my shoulders to settle me down on the underwater seats. I felt my skin prickle from the chill of his fingertips.

      “ So tell me why you declined all those lovely women who offered to keep you entertained?” he said as he dribbled a thick liquid atop my head.

I turned to look at him, his silver hair was clinging to his cheeks and forehead. Being so close to him now I noticed he had small freckles on his cheeks and nose. His purple eyes were flickering as if he were taking in every inch of me as well.

     “ Have you been watching me?” I felt myself smile teasingly.

His dark eyebrows raised in a surprise.

     “ Of course not. I just know the kind of women in this town to a new, handsome villager. And seeing you in here all alone… I just put two and two together. “ he looked away at the last part. A hint of embarrassment on his cheeks.

I felt myself smile again and turn away from him.

     "Handsome huh?" I let out a laugh.

     “ Well, truth be told. “ I closed my eyes in relaxation as his fingers gently began to currest my scalp. His nails felt soft and scratched just perfect spots.

     “ They are not my type” I felt him pause then continue to motion his fingers through my hair.

‘ Really what am I thinking? Flirting with this Lycan. It's pretty clear he is into me for some reason. I feel like I just can't help it. He is really fucking hot and goodlord has it been a long time.’ I think aggressively.

      “ Is that so? I’m as curious about your types as I am about all these wonderful scars.” the lycans fingers moved down my neck, tracing his finger along one of my deepest scars that ran down my right shoulder blade. I felt him lean into my ear and made a soft rumble as he dug his fingers into my muscles. I felt a groan escape my chest at the wave of pleasure.
