“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?”

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…
