    154 Shower Together


    A long file suddenly appeared on her screen—encrypted logs, financial trails, digital breadcrumbs scattered across the data. Her eyes flicked rapidly over the endless strings of information, scanning for something significant. Then, one particr line stopped her cold.


    [Dark Operation: Knight Group internal surveince target — Axel Knight.]


    Her grip on the phone tightened involuntarily, and the air in the room seemed to constrict around her. The weight of the discovery pressed down on her chest.


    Someone within the Knight Group was monitoring Axel, tracking his every move from the inside.


    Why would Maxime be so intent on following Axel’s movements? What secrets were buried in his family’s past that warranted such scrutiny?


    Her gaze returned to the file, reading the words again and again, trying to make sense of it all. Suddenly, the soft creak of the bathroom door opening behind her broke her concentration.


    “Eve…?” Axel’s voice drifted through the doorway, casual and warm, as if unaware of the tension in the room. “Could you grab me a towel? Looks like there isn’t one here.”


    Evelyn blinked, her thoughts scattering. She quickly locked her phone, setting it down on the bedside table with practiced nonchnce. Smoothing her expression into calm serenity, she turned to face him.


    “Top drawer, right side,” she said evenly, offering a small smile.


    But as Axel stepped forward, bare-chested and damp from the shower, her smile faltered. Her throat tightened as she swallowed hard, watching him with a mixture of admiration and something moreplicated. The way the water droplets clung to his skin, the effortless way he carried himself—it was impossible not to be drawn in.


    He stood framed by the slightly ajar bathroom door, his strong torso exposed, muscles gleaming faintly in the soft bathroom light. If he opened the door just a little more, she’d see everything.


    Her heartbeat quickened, breath catching in her throat. Should she cross the room and throw herself into his arms? Or stay frozen, rooted in ce like a fool caught off guard?


    Before she could decide, his low, teasingugh shattered the moment.


    “Nope. No towels here,” he said, shaking his head with a yful grin.


    Evelyn narrowed her eyes, unconvinced. “Really?” she challenged, stepping toward the bathroom. She remembered seeing several neatly folded towels just the night before.


    As if anticipating her move, Axel suddenly pushed the door wide open, revealing his naked form in full.


    Her feet came to an abrupt halt.


    Water droplets shimmered on his skin, tracing the contours of his sculpted body with a tantalizing sheen. Steam curled around him, soft and inviting, like a whispered promise of something forbidden.


    Evelyn stood frozen, pulse pounding wildly through her veins. Her cheeks flushed, a delicious shiver trailing down her spine.


    Axel’s smile deepened. “Alright,e here.”


    Before she could react, his hand found hers, tugging her gently but firmly forward.


    “W-What?” she stammered, voice trembling slightly. “Axel—”


    “We should shower together,” he said simply, his tone serious yet casual, “to save time and water, Eve.”


    Her mouth opened to protest, but his steady grip guided her inside the shower room before she could say another word.


    The moment she stepped under the falling water, the cool droplets kissed her skin, eliciting a soft gasp. Axel’s body was so close she could feel his warmth even through the cascade of water.


    He loomed above her, one hand braced against the wall beside her, blocking the water spray from her face with effortless ease.


    Evelyn’s heart pounded in her chest, her entire body now soaked and glistening. The steam wrapped around them like a silken veil, their skin slick and shining in the muted light.


    Then Axel tilted his head slightly, his eyes sparkling with amusement—and something deeper, something that sent a fresh rush of heat through her.


    “You’re staring,” he murmured, voice low and yful.


    She tried to maintain herposure. “You’re the one standing naked in front of me,” she retorted, though her voice came out softer than intended.


    He chuckled, a deep, rich sound that vibrated in the air. “You make it sound like you don’t like it.”


    Her lips parted, ready to deny, but no words emerged.


    His smile widened, triumphant. “That’s what I thought.”


    Leaning in, he closed the distance between them, and for a brief moment, time seemed to pause.


    The warmth of the water, the heat radiating from his body, and the closeness between them blurred every rational thought she held onto.


    Her pulse quickened when his fingers brushed gently against her cheek, sweeping a wet strand of hair away from her face.


    His touch was tender but charged with an intensity that made her knees weaken, turning to jelly beneath him.


    “A-Axel… didn’t you say you were in a hurry?” she whispered, voice shaky but unable to look away from his burning gaze. “Something about pancakes? Oliver—”


    Before she could finish, his lips imed hers in a fierce, desperate kiss.


    The intensity of his mouth pressed against hers stole her breath, and she found herself unable to resist. Her hands rose instinctively, wrapping around his neck as his lips coaxed her stiff tongue into softness.


    A soft moan escaped her lips, only encouraging him to deepen the kiss further.


    Her heart thundered wildly, hands clutching at his shoulders as the cool water cascaded over their entwined bodies, contrasting sharply with the heat radiating between them.


    When Axel pressed closer, she gasped softly, and he seized the moment, pulling her even nearer until no space remained between them.


    Her thoughts scatteredpletely, reced by the overwhelming sensation of him—his warmth, his strength, the rough rhythm of his breath mingling with hers.


    Every inch of her skin burned beneath his touch, igniting a reckless desire she knew she shouldn’t indulge, yet couldn’t resist.


    When the need for air finally forced her to pull back, she ced a trembling hand against his chest.


    “Axel,” she breathed, struggling to steady her ragged breath.


    He looked down at her with a slow, devastating smile. “Yes, Mrs. Knight?”


    Despite the pounding in her chest, her lips curved in response.


    Axel leaned in, his lips brushing softly against her ear.


    “I can tell you like it. Want to keep going?” he whispered, his hand moving to unbutton her soaked silk pajamas, revealing the smooth skin beneath, the graceful curve of her breasts.


    Evelyn’s heart fluttered wildly again—annoying and uncontroble. She didn’t answer, instead reaching for the shower controls to turn off the water.


    But before she could, Axel caught her wrist.


    “Not done yet,” he said firmly.


    “Axel…” she warned, though her voicecked its usual strength.


    He only smiled, confident and knowing.


    “Rx. I’ll make it quick.”


    “That’s what you saidst time,” she muttered under her breath, “and we ended up doing it a few times.”


    His grin grew wider, wicked and full of promise. “Exactly.”


    And just like that, her fragile attempt to stayposed crumbledpletely.


    The sound of running water filled the room again, blending softly with her quiet moans as his hand roamed freely, unrestrained by any fabric.


    The night stretched on, wrapped in warmth and whispered touches, their bodies entwined beneath the cascading water.Conclusion
