Lyra gasped.
Just now when he changed his clothes, he left a underpants at least.
In this case, she'll feel hot to watch.
The bubble bath meant that he was going to be naked!
She didn't guarantee that she can hold this.
So she was trying to find an excuse to refuse when Malcolm quickly said, "It's just a bath, Rara. If I don't get this, I'll be so sick and I'll have angina!"
He said this and his eyes looked melancholy, with his hand gripping his heart and his leaning in her arms.
Lyra sighed helplessly. Since Malcolm's illness can't be hidden anymore, he was getting better and better at using it.
She was sometimes convinced by it.
"Don't pretend. I'll prepare water for you."
He smiled quietly.
Lyra got up and went to the bathroom. Then she turned up the temperature of the bathroom heater, helped him fill the tub, squeezed the shower gel and stirred the bubbles in the water.
When the bathroom was warm, Lyra called out to him, "It's ready. Come on in."
Malcolm stepped into the bathroom, wearing a new cotton nightgown bought by Lyra.
Lyra tried the water temperature again and it was just right.
Turning her head, he was still standing frozen in place, like a piece of wood.
"Why don't you take off your clothes yet?"
Malcolm half lifted his arm, with fingers hanging and his dark eyes staring at her, "No strength in my hands ..."
"Bullshit!"
Lyra lowered her face and quickly stripped him naked, gritting her teeth, "While you're sick now, I'll spoil you. When you get well, just wait and see!"
Malcolm heard what she said. His whole body was powerless and fell on her, with his chin resting on her shoulder, "You scold me. I am afraid I can't recover..."
"Nonsense!"
Lyra stared at him, sulking. And she pinched him hard on his elastic and bare buttocks behind him.
He hissed lightly in pain, buried his face into her shoulder, and quietly restrained all the bitter emotions.
Lyra straightened his body and lifted his face with both hands. She looked serious and said emphatically, "Malcolm, I'm here! At no time will you give up hope of living!"
She will, for sure, keep him healthy and alive!
Whatever, at what cost!
Malcolm felt bitter.
To comfort Lyra, he smiled and nodded. Then he changed the subject by grabbing her small hand and putting it between his legs.
He smiled evilly, "Do you like it?"
Lyra gently squeezed it, felt it carefully and nodded, "Well, soft and cute."
Momentarily, Malcolm wrinkled his brows, was demoralized once again.
Cute?
For men, this word was to describe girls who were petite!
It was not cute. It was fierce!
Lyra felt his sad emotion and lightly sipped his thin lips, "It's just cute at this moment. I know you're great. When you're better, then prove it to me?"
He didn't say anything, and his heart barely felt better.
From now on, he wanted seven times a night! Ten days and ten nights!
Lyra helped him sit in the bubble-filled tub, wetting his shoulders and neck, covering his honey-colored and sensual skin with the snowy bubbles.
"Soak for 15 minutes, and I'll come in later to rub your back."
She took a clean towel to wipe her hands clean and turned to go out, but her wrist was suddenly clutched by the man in the bathtub and brought with force in his direction.
"You have to soak together to get warm!"
Lyra was unprepared and couldn't handle his sudden force, so she fell backwards, caught off guard and fell into the bathtub.
Malcolm was prepared, and with his other palm he steadied her little bottom, easing the force of her fall.
With his palm cushioned, Lyra's body didn't make a particularly big splash when it was submerged in the tub.
But the original water level line that was put in place, because of the two people, instantly diffused out with the sound of clattering.
Lyra looked down, glanced at her soaked silk robe and gritted her teeth as she glared at him.
"Malcolm! What the hell?"
He slumped back, leaning lazily with his arms resting on the edges of the tub on either side.
It was as if he was saying "I'll wait for you to fix me!"
