I fastened my robe around myself, glancing at Riri with a small smile.

"Riri, are you ready?" I asked, trying to steady my nerves.

Riri was practically bouncing on her toes, her excitement palpable. "I'm all set! Let's go!"

As we headed out, she couldn't help but chatter non-stop. "Can you believe there's a hot spring here? I heard it's fed by a natural volcano! The water is supposed to be amazing—I can't wait to soak in it! This vacation house is so awesome!"

"Wait up!" I called out, but she was already racing ahead, disappearing around the corner.

"Race you to the hot spring!" she shouted back, her laughter echoing down the hallway.

I hurried after her but when I turned the corner, I was met with an empty hall.

"Damn it," I muttered under my breath, feeling a bit lost. The rain outside was pouring heavily, and I could feel the chilly draft even here.

The mansion was enormous, and it felt like I'd been wandering in circles for ages.

Just as I was about to give up, I spotted a servant passing by.

"Excuse me," I asked. "Where's the hot spring?"

She offered a polite nod and gestured down the hall. "Continue straight and take the first left at the intersection. You'll see a sign leading to the hot spring."

I flushed, realizing my mistake. My voice came out a little too high-pitched. "This isn't an Onsen! Cover yourself!"

His eyes gleamed with amusement as he tilted his head, a small, teasing smile playing on his lips. "Are you bothered by what you see?"

"Anyone would be bothered!" I snapped, trying to keep my voice down. I could hear Sophie and the others chatting just on the other side of the wooden fence that divided the men's and women's sections.

Cole's smirk softened slightly, and he leaned in closer, his breath hot against my ear. "If you wanted a private show, all you had to do was ask."

I shoved him back, my heart racing. "Get off me, you jerk!"

But as he pulled away, he didn't break eye contact. The air between us felt charged, thick with tension I couldn't quite place. It was like the steam rising around us, hazy and intoxicating, making it hard to think clearly.

Cole finally stood up, grabbing another towel and loosely wrapping it around his waist. He looked back at me, his eyes dark and unreadable.

"Be careful, Eve," he murmured, his voice a low, dangerous growl. "You've already tested my self-control to its limits numerous times. Next time this happens, I won't hold back."

And with that, he turned and walked away, leaving me there, my heart pounding so hard I could barely hear my own thoughts.

"W-what . . . just happened?" I stammered, my brain short-circuiting as I tried to process what I had just witnessed.

My mind was a fuzzy mess, replaying Cole's manhood on an endless loop I couldn't escape from. That was all my mind could think of.

The image of Cole, completely naked and

very

well-endowed, popped back into my head, and before I knew it, another wave of blood rushed to my nose.

"Damn it!" I muttered, pinching my nose to stop the bleed.

Big. That was the only word I could think of.

Very

big. I wanted to scream at myself for even thinking about it.

"Get a grip, Eve!" I whispered fiercely, shaking my head. But no matter how hard I tried, the picture of Cole standing there in all his glory kept playing in my mind like a flashy commercial you couldn't skip.

"Why is this stuck on repeat like a bad pop song?!" I groaned, feeling my face burn hotter than the hot spring itself.

Damn it!
