Poor Chloe. For all her usual fierceness, she had not managed to grab the white towel in time, and Marcus had already settled himself beside the tub. Her flawless body was completely exposed to him, leaving her with nowhere to hide.
"Marcus, you pervert! Get out!"
Overwhelmed by embarrassment, Chloe curled herself tightly into the water, desperately trying to cover herself as she shouted at him. Yet with Marcus sitting so close, his tall, powerful frame practically filling the entire space, she had lost whatever courage she might have had to make a naked dash for the door. She could only squeeze her eyes shut, too mortified to even look at him.
For once, she had completely forgotten to fight back.
Not that it would have made much difference. Her lightning attacks had been powerful enough to shake even other experts, yet against Marcus they could barely make him flinch, much less force him back.
