Alaric's question hangs in the air, thick with unspoken promises and shared desires. Cassandra's lips curve into a genuine smile this time, a soft, welcoming expression that melts away the last vestiges of tension in her shoulders.
"Yes, Alaric," she whispers, her voice now regaining its seductive huskiness. "I am ready for that bath." She takes a step towards him, her naked body moving with a newfound confidence, a subtle sway in her hips that makes Alaric's breath catch in his throat.
'She's really embracing this,' Alaric thinks, a surge of possessive pride swelling within him. 'My Auntie, my whore, finally mine in every way.' He watches, his ruby eyes burning with anticipation, as Cassandra reaches out, her hands gently resting on his tunic.
