Rise of the Rejected Luna - Chapter 186

Chapter 186: _ Bathing My Husband
I followed her down a staircase to an underground room where a large, steaming body of water covered most of the floor.

There were several young ladies standing in the room, waiting for me to get into the water.

I wasn’t used to having so many people with me in the bathroom, but then again, this wasn’t a bathroom.

I took off my robe and stepped into the steaming water. Contrary to my expectations, the water didn’t scald my skin. It was mildly hot and soothing.

Two maids stepped into the water with me, and started by washing each arm. Within minutes, they were done with the bath, and I was escorted out of the water.

As I stepped onto the dry floor, my eyes traveled to a familiar pair of eyes staring hotly at my naked body with barely concealed passion.

My body responded immediately. My breath caught in my throat, and I swallowed audibly. Although I’d just had a bath, I felt a sudden wave of heat hit me.

An almost painful throbbing started between my thighs as I stared back into his eyes.

The maids wrapped my robe around me, and tied a knot around my waist, but even then, we didn’t break our gaze.

Oh, but by the Goddess, I had missed the man. I’d missed our nights of endless passion. I’d missed having him ram his dick into my pussy while I held on for dear life, and screamed his name.

I’d missed having him fondle my breasts with urgency. I’d missed the feel of his tongue stroking my pussy while I writhed beneath him.

As if he knew exactly what I was thinking, his gaze grew hotter. Swear broke out on his forehead and I smiled inwardly at the knowledge that I was having the same effect on him that he was having on me.

One of the maids coughed meaningfully, snapping us both out of our lustful thoughts.

“Come in, sir. It’s your turn.” She said, pointing towards the water.

I headed in the direction of the door, but the meaning of her words suddenly hit me. It was his turn? Did that mean that these women were also going to bathe Kaene?

What. The. Fuck? What was this, like some low budget whorehouse? What would they do after bathing him? Stroke his dick?

With a determined look, I turned back to them. “You can’t bathe him.”

The girl who had spoken earlier shot me a confused look, but remained quiet, waiting for me to clarify.

“You can’t bathe him.” I said again, and she finally spoke.

“Why not?”

“Because he’s my mate!”

Finally understanding, she sighed. “Luna, there is no such thing as mate here. Here, he is simply a man, and you, simply a woman.”

I grit my teeth at her explanation. There it was again, this silly talk. What did they mean there was no mate here?

The moon goddess herself had chosen us for each other. Of course, we were more than man and woman. We were soulmates.

“You can’t bathe him.” I repeated stubbornly.

“But he must have the cleansing bath, ma’am.”

“Then I will bathe him!” I declared

Wait, what? Where did that even come from? I really need to start thinking before speaking.

All the maids gasped in surprise. It didn’t look like this was something that happened very often. I didn’t care. I had said it, I would see it through to the end.

“Is there any rule that says that you have to be the one to bathe him?” I asked, and could see the apparent confusion on their faces.

“Well?” I pressed further.

“Erm, no, but…”

“Okay, then. I’ll do it.” I said, walking briskly back towards them.

Their mouths hung open, but I didn’t care. No one was going to be bathing my mate while I stood there. After all, it’s the water that ensured cleansing, not the person who gave the bath.

I caught a smirk on Kaene’s face and rolled my eyes at him. Of course, he was enjoying this moment. I was making a fool of myself over him, and he was having fun at my expense.

I glared at him, signaling for him to step into the water. Throwing off my robe, I got into the water with him, as the maids looked on in awkward silence. Good, let them look. I didn’t care.

I lathered the sponge with enough soap, and started with his right hand. I ran the sponge down his arm, and down to his chest.

When I ran the sponge over his nipples, I heard his breath catch in his throat. Oh, his buttons were so easy to push, I thought with an inward smile.

Turning him to his back, I let the sponge glide over him. When I reached his buttocks, he tensed. I let my other hand run over his thighs.

Going down on my knees, I washed one leg first, and then the other. As I bathed him, I let my right hand brush his dick and chuckled lightly when I heard his breath catch again. Oh, I was having so much fun!

Just as I was about to continue, I heard a loud gasp and a shout. It was Iona.

“What the hell is going on here?” She yelled.

Ignoring her apparent annoyance, I ran the sponge over Kaene one last time, and threw the sponge down.

At that, I stepped out of the water and picked my robe off the floor, throwing it back on.

At the door, Iona’s hand shot out and stopped me.

“I’m speaking to you, Phoebe.”

“It’s Luna Phoebe to you.” I said, matching her gaze.

“What just happened here?”

“I bathed my husband, Iona, as you clearly saw.”

I saw her eyes steam in anger, but ignored it. She couldn’t do anything. I hadn’t done anything wrong.

Throwing a final glance at Kaene and seeing him struggle to hide his smile, I bit the inside of my cheeks to hide a smile of my own, and walked out of the room.
