I followed her down a staircase to an underground room where a large, steaming body of water covered most of the floor.
There were several young ladies standing in the room, waiting for me to get into the water.
I wasn't used to having so many people with me in the bathroom, but then again, this wasn't a bathroom.
I took off my robe and stepped into the steaming water. Contrary to my expectations, the water didn't scald my skin. It was mildly hot and soothing.
Two maids stepped into the water with me, and started by washing each arm. Within minutes, they were done with the bath, and I was escorted out of the water.
As I stepped onto the dry floor, my eyes traveled to a familiar pair of eyes staring hotly at my naked body with barely concealed passion.
My body responded immediately. My breath caught in my throat, and I swallowed audibly. Although I'd just had a bath, I felt a sudden wave of heat hit me.
