The Ex and Her Riches

She took deep breaths before summoning her courage to speak. “Mr. Kieran, can you help me find a towel?”

Kieran sounded surprised. “There aren’t any towels in the bathroom?”

“No.”

Okay, then Speechless, Kieran rose to his feet and made his way to the closet by the bed.

He opened the closet to see hangers, disposable slippers, towels, bathrobes, and shower caps inside it.

“I found them. Do you want a towel or a bathrobe?” he asked.

Inez thought about it and responded, “I want both! I’m freezing.”

“Okay. Do I bring them to you now?”

“No!” she exclaimed instinctively.

But if he doesn’t bring them to me, how can I step out of the bathroom?

A brief struggle later, she tried to reason with Kieran. “Mr. Kieran, can you come over with your back to me? Don’t peek, and hand the towel and bathrobe to me from a distance.”

“Okay.”

Kieran obediently grabbed a towel and a bathrobe before walking in reverse to the bathroom.

However, he’d occasionally peek to confirm he was going in the right direction.

To his utter shock, the bathroom’s walls were transparent, although partially obscured by the mist from the water vapor.

Through the hazy veil, he caught a glimpse of Inez’s curvaceous yet slender body and her fair skin.

The blurry but sexy scene made his imagination run wild.

The tips of his ears turned red, and Kieran could feel the heat rising in his cheeks. He found himself swallowing nervously, unable to hide his anxiety,

Inez was also nervous. She stood unmoving in the bathroom.

She certainly did not anticipate their first date to be this eventful. It turned out to be an unforgettable experience, etching itself in her memory.

As Kieran’s hands reached through the gap of the door, offering her the towel and bathrobe, Inez swiftly grabbed them from him. She quickly wrapped the towel around herself and put on the bathrobe, ensuring she was fully covered.

This was their first date, and she didn’t want Kieran to assume she was a loose woman
