Chapter 125: What If I Am Already Here? - 1
The sound of trickling water echoed through the bathroom. It was like the gentle flow of a river, calm and soothing. The sweet floral scent of the jasmine-scented candles filled the air, enveloping everything in a soft glow.
The large bathroom had a white marble tile floor, with a gorgeous gold-edged mirror above the sink, and a luxurious bathtub in the middle. It was large enough to fit several people comfortably.
As Aria entered the bathroom, she stripped off her clothes slowly, feeling the softness of the silk robe against her skin. She loved that material and often wore it around the house when she wasn't working. Her hair fell down her back in thick waves, a deep purple-black color that matched her eyes and made her look even more mysterious.
She could feel herself relaxing already. Her muscles were aching from all the training she had been doing lately, and the relaxing bath would be just what she needed.
As she slipped her clothes off, revealing her beautiful body with an ample bosom and wide hips in her sexy lace underwear, she looked at herself in the mirror and smiled at what she saw.
She had always been proud of how good-looking she was, but after going through the Mystic Body Refinement Formation, her features became even more refined, making her an attractive woman that could make any man or woman drop on their knees and worship the ground she walked on.
Her skin glowed, smooth, and radiant, and her long legs were toned yet curvy. Her waistline was small and firm, giving her curves that any woman would die for. Her breasts were large and round, sitting high on her chest and creating shadows under each swell due to how perky they were.
"Perfect." She thought to herself as she admired her reflection in the mirror, reaching up to push some of her hair away from her face so that everyone could see all of her beautiful features clearly. Her purple eyes flashed under the light, sparkling with life and passion.
With a smile on her lips, Aria slid off her lacy panties before unhooking her matching bra and letting it fall to the floor.
Now completely naked in front of the mirror, Aria ran her hands over her stomach and down between her thighs, feeling how soft her skin was there. Her fingers trailed lower until they reached their destination, brushing lightly against her clit and sending a shiver up her spine.
Aria sighed contentedly and closed her eyes as she touched herself, feeling her wetness pooling between her legs as she imagined how good it felt when Asher had touched her there, his rough fingertips rubbing against her soft folds until she was squirming against him, moaning out loud in pleasure.
That memory alone caused another surge of heat to rise inside her belly, making her ache with desire again, so without any further delay, she took the few steps forward and stepped into the shower, turning on the cold water and letting it cascade down her body.
The cold water did little to quell the fire burning within her, but at least it kept her focused instead of getting lost in memories of the past.
"I'm not sure how much I can control myself around Asher once he comes back." She mused, feeling the coolness of the stream wash over her heated skin, rinsing away all traces of her previous arousal from her body.
The droplets of water fell down her back as she stood there under the steady stream of liquid coming from above, enjoying how refreshing it felt against her burning skin.
"Why am I thinking such things at this time?" She chuckled to herself as she shook her head, reaching up with both hands to squeeze some shampoo into one palm before lathering it into a foamy mess all over her scalp, massaging the substance into each strand with careful motions until all of her thick hair was coated in a layer of white suds.
After that was done, she moved on to washing her body with soap and started with her feet before working upwards along her calves, then her thick thighs, where she lingered longer than necessary.
Then came her round buttocks, as she traced every contour with gentle pressure until she finally reached her slender waist and full breasts, where she gave special attention to those particular parts because they deserved it after all.
When Aria finished soaping herself, she leaned forward and allowed the icy spray from above to cleanse her body while also cooling down her flaming core. She enjoyed these moments where she could have some alone time and just let go of everything that burdened her mind and soul.
"It feels great, but nothing beats my son's touch." She thought, smiling at her own naughty thoughts as she remembered how good it felt when his hands explored every inch of her skin, sending shivers down her spine with each stroke of his fingers.
"I love him so much that sometimes it hurts whenever we are apart from each other for even just a short period of time, but no matter how far away he is right now or when he'll return back home, I know deep down inside that he loves me just as much too, if not more than I do."
"Ahh, why does my mind wander so easily toward my beloved child?" She chastised herself as she rinsed off all the remaining suds on her body, feeling refreshed after washing up despite the coldness that lingered on her skin.
The scent of jasmine from the candles permeated the room and mingled with the fresh, clean smell of the soap Aria used, filling the air with a soothing fragrance. It calmed her nerves as well as eased her troubled heart while making her feel relaxed and calm again.
Once she was done showering, she used her powers to dry off, removing all the moisture from her body and hair with a single gesture.
In seconds, she went from wet and slippery to warm and dry, ready to wear something comfortable after that amazing bath.
