Steam and Sin

The vampire mansion was massive, a gothic masterpiece stretching into the night—dark spires, towering windows, velvet-draped corridors filled with centuries of secrets.

And yet, somehow, it only had one shower.

The bathroom was a masterpiece of luxury—black marble walls, silver fixtures, and a walk-in shower big enough to drown a small army. Steam curled through the air, clinging to the cold stone, thickening with every passing second.

Kikidori stood under the scalding water, his eyes closed, his fingers running through his wet, raven-black hair. The heat seeped into his normally ice-cold skin, easing the tension in his muscles.

Finally, a moment of peace.

Then—

The door creaked open.

Kikidori's entire body tensed.

He cracked open one eye just in time to see Haruna step inside, completely unbothered, wrapped in nothing but a towel.

Kikidori blinked.

Haruna tilted her head, smirking. "Move over."

Kikidori immediately turned his back to her, clearing his throat. "W-What?"

Haruna sighed, stepping further in, steam curling around her as if even the air worshipped her presence. "Kiki, you know this mansion only has one shower."

Kikidori swallowed. Hard.

The sound of fabric hitting the floor sent a goddamn shockwave through his entire undead system.

Oh.

Oh fuck.

His ears burned as he felt her step closer, her bare skin brushing against his back as she slipped under the water.

Kikidori let out a slow, controlled breath, praying to whatever ancient vampire deities existed to grant him some level of restraint.

This was fine.

Totally normal.

Just showering with his wife.

His insanely gorgeous, tiny-waisted, absolute-goth-goddess of a wife.

Kill him. Immediately.

Haruna hummed as she ran her hands through her soaked black hair, her body far too relaxed while Kikidori was standing there like a frozen idiot.

Then—she pressed against him.

Kikidori short-circuited.

His entire body locked up, his mind screaming at itself.

Haruna, oblivious to his internal suffering, reached for the shampoo bottle. "Are you gonna wash my hair, or just stand there like a blushing virgin?"

Kikidori choked.

Haruna grinned. "You're so lucky, Kiki~"

Kikidori groaned into his hands, completely defeated.

The End of Chapter 20.
