Chapter 19 : Early Afternoon
"Hm, hm, hm..." hummed Anton as he tapped at the surface of the bathwater and magically warmed it up to the point that thin lines of steam began to rise from it "...Perfect!"
Stepping over the sidewall, he slowly eased in one foot and then the other.
"Oooo, oh, oh yeah, just right..." he mumbled to himself as he lowered himself into the steaming water and laid back against the sidewall "...Oh yeah, I needed this!"
Anton had filled the tub up high enough that when he entered it and sat down, the water would rise up to just below his neckline. With his back leaning against the side, he was able to lay his head down on the edge of the tub and sink down a little further into the water as he relaxed and stretched out his limbs and body.
"Been pretty busy these last few days..." he mumbled as he shut his eyes and took in a deep breath of the warm, steam filled air "And this is just what the doctor ordered..."
Cracking open a single eye, Anton peeked over at Kianna and couldn't help but to grin at the sight of her.
The dark elf had a completely blank look on her face as she stood still and unmoving next to the counter-top. Her ears had pointed themselves straight upwards, which had given her a very surprised look, and she had unconsciously covered herself by wrapping one arm over her breasts and dropping the other down to hide her slit with her hand.
"Feel free to jump in whenever you want!" chuckled Anton as he closed his eye and went back to his dozing "The water is just perfect..."
Kianna never actually said a word or even made a single sound herself, but after several minutes of waiting, Anton heard the water being lightly disturbed on the opposite side of the tub from where he sat and he grinned as he felt the water level rise up to his neck.
Deciding to play it dumb, he forced the grin from his face and let himself go slack as he focused on enjoying his own relaxation. After another few minutes of soaking he had nearly fallen asleep when he began to feel faint ripples in the water roll in against him. Cracking both of his eyes this time, he glanced over to his right and found that the dark elf had moved in close to his side.
Kianna's ears were still pointed straight upwards, and her large eyes were open to their fullest as they slowly roved over and did the best they could to examine Anton's body while it was being obscured by the steaming bathwater. She was currently on her hands and knees and had an air of caution about her that Anton couldn't help but to find adorable. The water level in the tub was high enough that her shoulders were almost fully submerged and as Anton's eyes moved further down her length he couldn't help but to be delighted with the view of her very round little bubble butt.
Kianna's heart-shaped bottom was being held at just the right height and angle so as to be only partially submerged in the water, and each of the rounded globes that were her butt cheeks, crested the surface in such a way that they appeared as two smooth, glistening little islands that seemed to be floating along behind her. Preoccupied as she was, she clearly didn't realize that she was lightly bobbing her bottom up and down in what appeared to Anton as an almost mischievous manner.
As Anton shifted his gaze back and forth between Kianna's face and bottom, the dark elf continued her slow and methodical exploration of his body. Though she couldn't see him quite as clearly as she would have liked, she was still determined not to waste the chance to sneak in and view him while he wasn't looking. Her eyes crept along at an even pace as she let them travel down his torso and stop at his groin. There she lingered for several moments as she struggled to discern as much detail as she could through the thin layer of steam that billowed along the surface of the water. Frustrated that she just couldn't see him as clearly as she wanted too, she moved on to his legs before reversing the trip and making her way back upwards.
Anton kept his eyes on Kianna's as he noticed that her gaze was slowly moving back towards him and it would only be a moment before she was fully facing him. He let a thin smile form on his face as her eyes suddenly darted to his.
Kianna completely froze as she realized that she had been caught in her peeking. Smiling sheepishly, she hunched down and laid her ears back submissively before jumping in surprise as the tips of her ears dipped into the warm water.
Anton couldn't help but to chuckle uncontrollably as the startled dark elf's ears began to throw tiny droplets of water into the air as they twitched wildly up and down.
"Did you just scare yourself!?" he teased as he smiled at the now flustered dark elf "Aw! You poor little thing!"
"Shut up!" whined Kianna as a warm blush spread across her cheeks "It's not funny!"
The blushing dark elf flattened her ears again and sat back on her folded legs as she covered her face with her hands in an effort to hide from her shame.
"Oh! Are you embarrassed now!?" continued Anton as he reached out and lightly poked the side of her head "Don't try to hide!"
"Quit it!" whined Kianna as she cringed away from his touch "You're being mean again!"
Anton chuckled again as he settled back against the sidewall and watched the squirming dark elf.
"Well that's what you get for trying to be sneaky!" he teased as she again hunched in on herself "My curious little dark elf!"
After a few moments Kianna turned away from him and dropped her arms down into the water before folding them around her torso.
"I'm sorry I was sneaking!" she mumbled as her ears tightened themselves together behind her head "...I just wanted to look at you for a second!"
"Hm, well I don't mind if you want to look at me. You don't have to try to be sneaky for that." said Anton as he let his head tilt to the side "Have you, ever been with a human before? And by that I mean, intimately?"
"Wha? No!" chirped Kianna as her eyes immediately darted back to his groin "...Not, with a human, no."
"Hm, have you ever even seen one before?" asked Anton as his grin widened a bit "As in, all of one?"
Kianna was quiet for a moment as she bit her lower lip and squinted her eyes as she continued to stare at his crotch.
"...Yeah. Well, just online." she mumbled "Not in real life..."
"Hm, I see." nodded Anton "So none of the guys that followed you around in college were humans then?"
"No." said Kianna as she shook her head "One was an incubus and the other was a kaftar. Well, there were 2 kaftars, I guess, but I never actually did anything with Samar, only Josh."
"...Remind me again what a kaftar is?" mumbled Anton as he creased his brow and looked up at the ceiling "Because I want to say they're the one's that are like hyenas, right?"
