His Naughty Lessons-Chapter 274: The Couple’s Way

** Harper **

It took Harper an embarrassingly long moment to realize why Eli had frozen, and another embarrassingly long moment to realize what she had just done.

She wasn’t trying to seduce him ... She really wasn’t! Under the calming spell of the bath, all she was thinking was how to make things more comfortable for the both of them. In a completely innocent way. But now that her brain had finally been reminded of the not-innocent direction of thought ... She noticed belatedly how precariously close she was lying to his groin, and how palpably the muscles in his lower body had tightened beneath her stomach.

Then it took her yet another embarrassingly long moment to figure out what she was supposed to do next.

"... Oops. Am I too heavy for lying on top of you like this? Should I move?" She smiled sheepishly, though she didn’t move off of him. Her hand slid down from the tub rim into the water, resting casually over his thigh.

The truth was, they hadn’t had the chance to spend much intimate time together this whole past week. Toasted to a crisp from work, Harper had been too tired almost every minute she was awake, and it was hard to feel like anything physical even if the mental cravings kept crossing her mind. Meanwhile, Eli kept proving to be the thoughtful guy he always was, obviously noticing it though never saying a word, and she could tell he had tuned down his own usual teasings as well to avoid tickling that itch.

But in the end, both of them still had their normal needs. Skipping their daily exercises came with a toll, which was obvious from the way his pupils visibly dilated and darkened, watching her with a dangerous intensity.

"I thought we were supposed to be calm here," Eli reminded her. "I can see whatever idea that’s popping up in your pretty head right now isn’t calm at all."

Harper chuckled. "Oh, I’m pretty sure the hostess mentioned something about rebalancing and reenergizing ... Guess that part simply came after the calming."

As she stressed the word "reenergizing", her hand started gliding, tracing over his hip to his inner thigh and slowly inching up.

She felt his groin tightening further, the plane of corded muscles pressed against her belly turning almost as hard as the bathtub itself. Not wanting to poke herself, she shifted a little higher, just enough for her lips to reach his. freewebnøvel.com

"... Plus, I haven’t finished the massages yet," Eli reminded her again, the words tickling the corner of her mouth. "It’s going to be much harder ... in this position."

"Mmm. I like it that way." Harper grinned at the unintentional pun. "And it’s alright, I can take over the hard massaging job from here on."

With that promise, she wrapped her fingers over the length that was almost lifting its head out of the water, and she crushed her lips onto his in a hot kiss.

A low groan hissed out of him. He twitched against her palm the moment she touched him, and there wasn’t a missed beat before his tongue was in her mouth, passionately meeting her advances with his own. His hands darted up with a splash of water, clutching her waist from both sides.

"Just don’t back out on my massage by the time you remember where we are, my little seductress," he warned her in between kisses. "Someone might see us, you know. More likely than the last time at the arcade."

He had probably meant that as a serious reminder in case she had a change of mind. But precisely thanks to their last daring adventure, Harper wasn’t scared of it anymore today. "I’m sure they pay attention to privacy here, if they care about generous guests like you coming back at all. Besides, I kind of like it when you smell and taste like roses and honeybush."

She kissed him deeper and inhaled sharply, letting herself soak in that special brand of fragrance. Who knew that his usual scent of crisp citrus combined with sexy musk would go so well with the flower bath, turning out so heady and ... arousing?

"And, doubly besides," she added with a smirk as she stroked him, eliciting another sigh into her mouth, "I would actually be a bit surprised if they haven’t ever seen a scene like this. It’s a couple’s bath, after all."

At that, a matching smirk appeared over the handsome face that was only a hair’s length away from her own.

"Fair enough," he agreed. "Might as well enjoy the full package that we signed up for."

The next moment, his hands were roaming over her body, gripping both of her breasts and squeezing them hard.

It was Harper’s turn then to let out a muffled moan. Maybe it was the warm soak for the past hour making her skin more sensitive, or maybe it was simply the fact that they had taken a break for almost a week, leaving her too hungry ... Either way, the sensation of his caress somehow seemed so much stronger than usual, immediately sending sparks shooting throughout her body. The bathwater suddenly felt hotter than before, and the humid air in the glass-roofed courtyard became almost palpably sultry.

All the more so when he flicked his fingers over her nipples, making her shudder and subconsciously tighten her grip on his shaft, drawing a hard groan from him in return.

"Damn, Harper. You are convincing me more by the minute that we should make better use of our tub at home," Eli mumbled into her mouth. "It’s a couple’s size too, you know."

"Hmm, good reminder." Harper hummed an agreement. "Then perhaps we should do a trial run right now of how to use one the couple’s way, shall we?"

She paused the ministration of her underwater hand, earning a small groan of protest when she pulled herself away from their kiss. Then she flipped around and pushed herself out of the cover of flowers before sitting back down, straddling his hips.
