Anne felt a light tremor course through her whole body at the way he was looking at her with a keen hunger in his eyes and an amused upwards tilt of his lips.
She lightly pushed herself down the vanity table where he had placed her to sit earlier, feeling hesitant to take off the robe, but then she was the one to dip her toe experimentally in boiling water, she might as well get fully burned. Anne thought as she slowly moved her hand up to her waist where the robe she was wearing was currently tied.
Her fingers shook slightly but she loosened the string and the lightweight robe fell like a pool down by her feet.
Anne closed her eyes, breathing heavily. She couldn't bring herself to look up at his reaction because she knew how much more redder her face would get and she would feel so shy that she would want the ground to open up so she could hide.
