The cool water of the marble bath swirled around them, but the heat between Arthur and Seraphina was a world of its own, a private inferno fueled by their closeness. Her quiet moans still echoed in his ears, each one a testament to her reserved nature giving way to passion. Arthur's hands lingered on her thighs, his touch both reverent and bold, a perfect counterpoint to Seraphina's delicate intensity. Sensing the moment's crescendo, he tightened his grip on her waist, lifting her effortlessly as he moved toward the edge of the bath.
