Chapter 167: The Bathing N@kedness

Rosina couldn’t utter a single word as Draco gazed into her eyes. They looked at one another with silent words full of questions, but no one dared to speak.

Draco’s revelation shook Rosina’s core. That she didn’t know how to react or how to handle the situation, and it was the first time she felt that way.

"Why?" Rosina whispered. That word contained all the questions in her mind that she couldn’t speak out.

Draco smiled and sniffed Rosina’s hair, which smelled of blood and sweat.

"I’ll be honest, Rosina. Every time we touched, I could feel the sparks burning in my skin. I feel attached to you, but I stayed away since I don’t want you to leave if I pushed myself into you," Draco whispered softly. His eyes turned hazy as he poured out his emotions.

"What?" Rosina was surprised when Draco stated that he felt the sparks for her, but she couldn’t tell him she was feeling the same.

"That’s why I offered you a contractual marriage to see if we are mates. I was using the time to figure out the bond between us since I couldn’t smell the mating scent from you, but until now, you’re like a blank canvas," Draco stated with his eyebrow furrowed together. He took another sniff, but Rosina smelled nothing.

Rosina pursed her lips. She felt like she had been played all along by Draco, but she was amused by his skills, especially since she knew Draco was good at observing tiny details.

"My fault. I underestimated you," Rosina replied with a chuckle while shaking her head. She looked Draco in the eye intently. "But I know you don’t know all the dirt I’m doing."

"That’s true," Draco agreed with a shrug. "I don’t care about that since I don’t want to choke you with control. I’m expressing that I know your sexual history when you were in my residence, and it hurts me a bit."

Draco pouted and grabbed his chest, acting as if he was in pain.

Rosina closed her eyes to prevent herself from laughing at Draco’s facial expression. The atmosphere in the room lightened up, and the awkwardness vanished away.

"Alright, I apologise for hurting you unconsciously," Rosina shook her head. She couldn’t believe she would say those words, but it made her understand Draco’s side.

Draco’s lips formed into a huge smile before hugging Rosina rightly. "Thank you, but it doesn’t really matter to me. I just want you to be happy and sexually satisfied," he sighed with relief.

"Okay," Rosina’s body froze from the sudden physical touch, but she lowered her guard since the spark between them made her comfortable.

When Draco realised that Rosina didn’t push him away, he tightened the hug to see if it was okay with her. His smile grew wider when Rosina didn’t fight back.

"How about you? What are you feeling?" Draco asked and held Rosina’s shoulders, pushing her softly to look into her eyes. He wanted to know what Rosina felt for him so they could discuss their relationship.

Rosina opened her mouth to speak but didn’t know what to say. She was fine being Draco’s contracted wife for a year but making it official shook her core and h, er dark memories were knocking in her mind, begging to be let out.

Draco saw Rosina’s eyes shaking with fear. He remembered what Ambra had stated earlier, that Rosina had it worst, and he didn’t want to trigger her past by pushing his emotions instantly.

"Don’t answer if you’re unsure," Draco kissed Rosina’s forehead to calm her down. "There’s no rush."

"Thank you," Rosina leaned closer since the kiss pushed the painful memories back inside. She breathed with comfort and rested her head on Draco’s chest.

Draco hummed, patting Rosina’s head and feeling the softness of her hair even though several strands were tangled together. He felt good since it was the first time Rosina let herself be taken care of while conscious.

"This feels nice," Rosina whispered, inhaling Draco’s pine scent.

"What do I smell?" Draco asked since he got curious about what he smelled like.

"Hmm, it’s the time of the year when the outdoors smells sharp, sweet and refreshing. Like the pines," Rosina described and took another sniff of Draco’s scent. She clutched into Draco’s clothes which had a blood stain on them.

"You know my mating scent," Draco whispered and couldn’t help but hug Rosina tighter.

"What?" Rosina pushed back and looked at Draco in surprise. "What do you mean? That has been your scent the moment I met you."

Draco chuckled in amusement. "So you smelled the scent but didn’t think you’re the only one who knows about it?"

"What do you mean?" Rosina asked and became even more confused. She had smelled every wolf scent and determined what kind of scent it was similar to.

"My regular bodily scent is different, Rosina, and you’re the only one who smelled my true mate’s scent," Draco whispered and caressed Rosina’s cheeks, and the sparks between them ignited like fire.

Rosina’s eyes bulged open. She opened her mouth to speak and deny everything, but no words came out. She questioned everything, but it only led to one answer.

She was Draco’s mate.

"I know you don’t want a mate, Rosina. I don’t forget what you said before but think about it for a while. I don’t want to force you into the bond since we might strain it further. I will wait for you patiently until you accept me with all your heart," Draco whispered and kissed Rosina’s forehead again. He felt pain in his chest that Rosina didn’t want him, and his wolf was howling in despair, but he needed to accept it since he didn’t want Rosina to run away from him.

Rosina closed her eyes and felt the softness of Draco’s lips. The feeling overwhelmed her that she didn’t know what to do. Her body yearned for Draco’s touch, and she didn’t want him to leave her sight.

Draco stood up from the bed to give Rosina space to think, but before he could leave. Rosina grabbed his shirt and pulled him back.

"Do... Do you want to shower together?" Rosina asked softly and couldn’t look into Draco’s eyes. It was the first time she felt shy about asking a man to be with her.

Draco tilted his head. He wasn’t thinking about doing sexual stuff with Rosina, but he was more concerned about her well-being. He remembered that Rosina had been unconscious earlier and might need assistance while taking a bath.

"I will prepare warm water for you," Draco replied and patted Rosina’s head before walking out of the door to search for a servant.

Rosina grabbed the pillow and screamed in embarrassment. She wanted to pull her hair for saying those words, but she couldn’t take it back since her pride was preventing her.

"Well, he’s gone. I think he will ask a servant instead!" Rosina convinced herself while nodding. She sighed in relief and pulled the blanket away from her body since she wanted to take a bath. She was wearing a night gown that Vanda had given earlier.

Rosina sat on the bed and looked at her feet. She had several unhealed bruises since her wolf was still trying to help heal her wounds. She tried to stand up but buckled on the floor, and extreme pain in her ankle shot up to her leg.

"Ugh!" Rosina groaned and massaged her ankle when the door opened, and Draco came inside with the warm water for her bath.

"Rosina!" Draco exclaimed and hurriedly went to her side. He looked at the servants and gestured for them to prepare the bath.

"I’m fine. My wolf will heal this," Rosina stated and sat up, but Draco kept her close and lifted her body in bridal style.

"Wh-what are you doing!? Put me down!" Rosina screamed and tried to escape, but Draco held her body tighter.

"You asked me if we can bathe together, right?" Draco smirked and went to the bathroom, where the tub was already prepared.

The servants hurriedly left the room since they didn’t want to disturb Rosina with her husband.

"I can bath myself," Rosina muttered when Draco sat her on the stool and helped her get undressed.

"Okay," Draco stepped back and started unbuttoning his clothes since he would take a bath too.

"What are you doing?" Rosina asked with wide eyes.

"Bathing with you," Draco replied and saw the pink blush creeping on Rosina’s cheeks. That made him chuckle, and he wanted to tease her even more. "Don’t think too much. Besides, you already seen my body before."

"Hah!" Rosina gasped and looked away. Images of Draco’s body flashed into her mind, and that made her more embarrassed remembering the memory of him f^cking another she-wolf while she watched.

Rosina went inside the tub with her nightgown to calm her nerves. Then she heard a flash; she looked in front of her and saw Draco in total nakedness, sitting before her inside the tub.
