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…

“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!”
