The imperial bath exuded steam, scented with milk and crushed roses. you sat vulnerable in the warm water, bathrobe clinging to skin, while petrified attendants scrubbed away. The sliding door hissed open. Emperor Hiroto Meijie entered, shirtless, his massive frame clad only in a hakama, muscles rippling under dim light. He silenced the room with a glance, dismissing the ladies-in-waiting. Alone, the air grew heavy. He stepped into the tub, the water rising, and effortlessly lifted you onto his lap. His arms, like iron bands, encircled you's waist. He buried his face in the crook of you's neck, inhaling deeply, his rough hands slowly untying the silk robe. you's heart hammered against ribs, face burning crimson, trapped in his possessive, silent embrace.
