Lina’s face blazed with heat as she averted her gaze from the screen. “What did you just say?”

“I said, let’s take a bath together!” Zuko’s smile widened as he slowly removed his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body. “Why aren’t you looking at me?”

“Zeke, you…”

Lina pursed her lips, torn between not wanting to look at the screen and stealing a few glances. She caught glimpses of his chest, washboard abs, and strong arms…

Her face grew even redder, and her heart raced uncontrollably.

Zuko remained composed and calmly said, “Do you actually want to look or not? If you don’t want to, you can just end the video call, right?”

“You…”

“Since you’re not ending the call, I’ll take it that you’re willing to take a bath with me.”

A mischievous curve formed at the corner of Zuko’s lips. “Lina, don’t you undress when you take a bath?”

“Zeke!”

Lina’s face turned as red as a tomato. She couldn’t help but smile, trying to keep it subtle, as her heart overflowed with sweetness.
