Lily placed her hand on Ethan's shoulder and smiled playfully. “If he had actually agreed to marry me. | would

have called my incredibly handsome, possessive, and ridiculously jealous husband to teach Ryan a lesson he

wouldn't forget.”

Her words caught Ethan off guard, and he fought hard to keep from grinning like a lovestruck fool. Instead, he

tilted her chin up gently with his hand, his dark eyes gleaming with mischief as a devilish smirk spread across his

face.

“Alright,” he said, his tone teasing but firm. “I'll let you off the hook this time. But...” He paused tically,

...you still need to be punished for another crime”

“Crime?” Lily blinked in confusion. Her head tilted slightly as she searched his face. “What crime?”

“The unforgivable crime,” he replied with mock seriousness, locking his gaze with hers. “You abandoned your

husband in bed this morning and didn’t even wake him up. You know the first thing | want to see when | open my

eyes is my wife's beautiful face.”

Lily couldn’t help but laugh softly at his exaggerated tone. “Is that really a crime, my dear husband?” she asked,

her voice brimming with amusement.

Ethan nodded solemnly. “It absolutely is. A husband as handsashas certain rights, you know. And one of

them is seeing his wife's face first thing in the morning. So now, Mrs. Ethan, I'm afraid | have to punish you.”

Her lips curved into a sly smile as she leaned closer. “Oh? And what punishment does Mr. Ethan have in mind for

his wife?*

Ethan's smirk widened as he leaned toward her ear and whispered, his voice low and teasing. “You'll have to

take a bath with me.”

For a moment, Lily froze, her cheeks flushing a deep shade of pink as his words sank in. But to his utter surprise,

she nodded, her voice soft but unwavering. “Alright... I'll do it”

Ethan blinked, utterly stunned. Had he heard her correctly? She agreed? He had made the suggestion playfully,

never expecting her to take it seriously. Watching her with wide eyes, he took a step back in disbelief, trying to

process what had just happened.

Taking advantage of his momentary daze, Lily laughed mischievously and dashed into the bathroom.

It took Ethan a few seconds to snap out of his reverie. The sound of her voice calling his nfrom the

bathroom jolted him back to reality.

“Ethan!” she called out.

Panic immediately gripped him. “Lily, are you okay?” he asked, rushing into the bathroom without

hesitation.

What he saw next made his breath hitch and his heart pound in his chest. Standing under the warm spray of the

shower, Lily was clad only in her delicate undergarments. Her skin glistened under the water, and she turned to

look at him with wide, innocent eyes that belied the mischievous grin tugging at her lips.

For a moment, Ethan felt like his soul had left his body. His mind raced, trying to process the sight before

him.

“Lily...” he managed to whisper, his voice hoarse and his thoughts utterly scattered.

Lily giggled, clearly enjoying his reaction. “What happened, Mr. Ethan? Didn't you suggest we take a bath

together?” she teased, her tone light and playful.

Ethan swallowed hard, unable to tear his eyes away from her. One thing was certain-his punishment had taken

an unexpected turn, and he wasn’t sure whether to curse his earlier teasing or thank his lucky stars.

The warm water from the shower cascaded over Lily’s smooth, glowing skin, accentuating her soft curves. Her

wet, jet-black hair clung to her shoulders and back, framing her face like a delicate halo. Her flushed cheeks and

shimmering eyes gave her an innocent yet irresistible allure. She looked ethereal, almost like a water goddess

brought to life.

Ethan stood rooted in place, utterly captivated. His gaze lingered on her with an intensity that blended

admiration and reverence. It was as though he feared blinking would shatter the vision before him. Lily glanced

at her husband, noticing how he seemed frozen in awe. The way his eyes followed her every move sent warmth

coursing through her, a mix of shyness and exhilaration.

After a moment, she tilted her head and called out playfully, her voice a sultry drawl. “What's the matter, hubby?

Not going to join me?”

Her words seemed to snap Ethan out of his trance. When their eyes met, Lily felt a jolt of surprise at the raw

desire shimmering in his gaze. It was powerful and unfiltered, yet underpinned by restraint. Ethan took a deep

breath and tore his eyes away, muttering under his breath, “Lily... | was just joking. You don’t have to

do this.”

Her eyes widened in disbelief. Was this man for real? Here she was, standing before him, barely dressed, and yet

he held himself back? His restraint was palpable, though the tension in his body made it clear just how hard he

was trying. Then it hit her-she remembered his promise from their wedding night. He had vowed not to touch

her until she freely confessed her love for him. A soft sigh escaped her lips as she looked at her remarkable

husband.

“... I think I should go. Ethan stammered, turning away.

Her lips curled into a teasing smile. “What if | don’t want you to go? What if | want you to join me, hubby?” she

purred, her voice dripping with temptation.

Ethan froze mid-step, his body taut with tension. It was taking every ounce of self-control not to turn around.

The evidence of his struggle was unmistakable, yet he stood firm. The woman he adored was standing mere

steps away, beckoning him, but his promise loomed large in his mind.

“No!” he managed to reply firmly, though his voice betrayed the turmoil inside.

Before he could take another step, he felt her slender arms wrap around his waist from behind. Her body pressed

softly against his back, and her breath tickled his ear as she whispered, “Con, Ethan. It’s just a shower...

nothing more.”

A shiver ran down his spine. His breathing grew uneven as he felt her warmth against him. How had he not

known his sweet wife could be so irresistibly seductive?

“Are you sure?” he rasped, his voice dropping to a husky growl.

Lily nodded, her chin brushing against his shoulder. That simple gesture was all it took for Ethan's resolve to

crumble. Without another word, he turned, scooping her into his arms effortlessly.

Stepping under the shower, he set her down gently, his eyes never leaving hers. With swift precision, he

discarded his clothes, revealing a physique that made her heart race. Lily’s gaze wandered over him, her cheeks

heating as her eyes inadvertently lingered on certain areas.

Ethan smirked, catching her wide-eyed expression. Before she could react, he pressed her back against the cool

tiles, his lips claiming hers in a kiss that was both fiery and tender.

Their movements were unhurried but charged with emotion. His hands explored her curves, tracing every inch of

her with reverence. Lost in the moment, Lily didn’t even notice when her remaining garments slipped away.

The steady stream of water cascaded over them, creating a rhythm that matched the beating of their hearts.

Finally, Ethan pulled back, his forehead resting against hers as he fought to regain control. He knew he had to

stop before things went further than he intended.

Lily, still catching her breath, glanced down shyly. Her lips parted slightly as she hesitated before nervously

asking. “E-Ethan... do you need help with that? Should I... um......"”
