Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires

The moment Asher turned around, he saw Scarlet peeking with only her head out of the booth.

It was obvious she was watching him and Cecil from the very beginning, and she wore an amused smile on her face as a result.

Seeing Scarlet there made Asher laugh before walking over and asking with a smirk. "I see you have been enjoying the show, Scarlet."

"Yes, it was quite interesting to watch, as you made Cecil's heart skip a beat." She nodded with a giggle. "Your shamelessness knows no bounds, Asher. Not to mention the way you touched her. You sure were having fun, weren't you?"

"Oh? Did it seem like that?" he asked with a chuckle, pretending innocence.

"Come on, don't act like an innocent lamb," she scoffed, rolling her eyes as she continued. "I know you well enough that when it comes to women, you never stop."

Upon hearing that comment, a chuckle escaped him. He gave her a knowing wink as he leaned forward while saying. "You have no idea just how bold I really am, Scarlet."

The tone of his voice was low, as if it were dripping in sensual honey, and he made his intentions very clear to Scarlet.

This caused her to blush in surprise as she stared into those deep blue eyes staring straight through her soul and right into her heart with their intense gaze that seemed capable of piercing through anything.

"Oh? Is that so?." She smirked, not backing down. "Well then, you are welcome to prove it whenever you want, Asher."

This time, however, there was no reply from Asher; he just gave her one of his charming smiles as he moved closer with confidence radiating from him.

Seeing him move forward like that sent an electric thrill up and down the length of Scarlet's spine while she took a step back on reflex, which ended up with her disappearing behind the curtains of the booth.

Scarlet's heart began to race as her breathing grew rapidly and her eyes remained fixated on the curtain separating them, waiting in anticipation for what would happen next while she bit her lip in nervous excitement.

She wasn't sure why she felt nervous all of a sudden, as she had already shared many baths with Asher while naked where they touched each other's bodies, so it shouldn't be any different now. Still, something about the current situation felt different to her, though she wasn't certain what it could be.

As she waited for him to enter the changing booth, her mind raced with possibilities about what might occur between the two of them. Would he simply tease her or do something more daring than usual? The thought alone made her feel like she was about to burst from anticipation.

However, when she noticed that nothing was happening, Scarlet's expression turned into confusion as she wondered what Asher had planned instead. She tried listening for any sign of movement from outside the booth, but all she could hear was silence.

"Hmm, what is he doing?" Scarlet murmured as she peered through the gap between the curtain and the wall to find out if he was standing right next to her or not.

However, she was disappointed to discover that he wasn't there.

Instead, she saw that Asher had sat down on the couch again and was reading through the fashion catalogs scattered all over the coffee table.

Seeing him like that left her feeling baffled, but that confusion soon faded away and was replaced by a feeling of irritation after realizing what he was trying to do.

'Argh...that stupid guy! He was just teasing me and making me wait here like this for no reason!' She huffed in annoyance before stepping out of the changing booth, dressed in the revealing outfit she had been hiding behind the curtain.

She stomped up to where Asher was sitting, crossing her arms beneath her chest in annoyance. "Hey! How dare you ignore me like this, you jerk?"

A few moments before...

While Scarlet was in a flurry of emotions inside the changing room, Asher had stopped just short of the curtain with a grin on his face as he thought about how cute she had been earlier. He had seen her blush before retreating into the room, and that made him want to tease her a bit more.

So without further ado, he took a step back and walked away from the changing booth, heading towards the couch on which he had been sitting earlier.

He knew she was probably expecting him to barge in after her, but he preferred not to give her the satisfaction of acting according to her expectations and decided to play with her instead.

This would be fun!

Upon hearing her angry voice, Asher glanced up from the magazine with a mischievous smile on his face before raising an eyebrow and saying in a surprised tone. "Oh, what do you mean? I'm just relaxing here, waiting for you two to finish, of course."

Hearing his answer, Scarlet's glare intensified as she shouted in exasperation, "What?! Don't pretend you didn't try to enter the booth just now! I was waiting for you, yet you decided to leave me hanging here."

When she finished speaking, her face turned red from embarrassment as she realized what she had just blurted out. She averted her gaze away from Asher after noticing that his expression changed after hearing those words, and now he wore a devilish grin that sent chills up her spine.

She opened her mouth to say something, but the words got caught in her throat when he grabbed her wrist and pulled her onto his lap with one swift motion.

Scarlet felt her heart leap from her chest when their bodies made contact with each other. Her pulse raced at his touch, sending tingles throughout every inch of her being.

The very next moment, Asher leaned in closer until his lips hovered near her ear before whispering in a soft voice, "So... you were waiting for me, huh? What exactly did you think was going to happen after that?"
