"Why'd you stop?" Maki appeared confused as he stopped before the building's gate.
"I mean… that's a love hotel." Adam barely completed the sentence. Did they allow a person to sleep alone?
"You know…" Maki turned around from the flashing sign of the hotel and looked at Adam. "You are the first debt collector who doesn't want his payment."
"It's not like that…" Adam understood that his actions weren't like those of any other normal guy in his position. But he wasn't planning on being like that. "I just want you to give yourself some time to calm down."
Maki understood where he was coming from. Even now, she felt like shit, and her mind was in absolute chaos because of all that leftover rage mixing with the alcohol. And he saw through that, she was thankful for that.
Still, she didn't want to have time to think about it, because it wouldn't amount to anything.
"Like it or not, it is up to the debtor to repay the debt when they want to." Maki turned around with a dry chuckle and pushed the glass door open. "So, you are stuck with me either way."
"I suppose so." With a shrug, Adam followed after her.
They booked an expensive room and were given the key by the middle-aged receptionist. The room had a luxury hotel vibe, with a big bed and silk sheets; it also had two bathrooms and, apparently, a special walk-in closet.
'I'd better stay away from that thing.' Maki felt prickly just by looking at the wooden sliding door; gods knew what that thing held to give her these goosebumps.
"I'll take a shower, just wait here." She decided to turn to the bathroom. But before she entered, Adam gave her a bottle of soap.
Although it did appear weird, Adam said this would help with her wounds.
'He's a real weirdo…' Maki took off her clothes, not caring about the fabric scraping away at the burns on her body.
"Not like I am any different, rushing things like an idiot when it suits me. He must think I am a weirdo, too." When she looked at the burns and wounds all over her body in the shower door's reflection and the deep, dark circles under her eyes, she couldn't help but shake her head.
'Well, I've made a decision, so I'll stick with it.' As the cold water ran down her face, the prickly sensation broke out all over her wounds. It was like someone was scrubbing her with a steel wool, but there was not much she could do.
Thinking about it a bit, she decided to use the soap Adam had given her. It wasn't like he meant harm. From all that she had seen, he was a decent guy at least. Awkward, but decent.
And even if he did want to harm her with the soap, what was the worst that could happen?
'Smells like roses.' Even if she had only pumped out some, it gave a soothing feeling to her palms.
With little effort, the lather started to cover her skin. Unlike her expectations, thanks to the previous bath she had taken, a cooling sensation covered her body.
There wasn't any burning sensation or stings, just a cool wave that washed away the caked-up blood and grim off her. Although it was a body soap, even her hair seemed silkier for some reason. As for why she used body soap to wash her hair, well, it wasn't that big of an issue.
The only drawback was that now she smelled like roses from head to toe. When she came out of the bathroom, tying the bathrobe around her, Adam had also just stepped out of the other bathroom. As she stepped closer to him, it was the first time she noticed the height difference between them.
'He smells like sandalwood. Why didn't he give me that one?' Maki stopped her twitching brow and sighed.
"Thanks for the soap." Although still prickly, she had to admit that she felt at ease now that the constant irritation had vanished.
"As long as it helps," Adam said as she opened a bottle of water.
"Ok." Maki drank the one-litre bottle in one chug and plopped down on the bed. "Then, what are you waiting for?"
Although it felt weird to be this inviting, Maki felt she had to do at least this much now. Any other guy would be jumping for joy by now, or maybe not.
'Am I not attractive enough for him?' That was a bit of a wound to her self-esteem. But when she glanced at her burned hand, she shook her head and undid her robe.
As for whether Adam found her attractive or not, of course, he did. Unlike her assumption, the scars didn't bother Adam. Maki was more than just a pretty face. She had solid thighs, a thin waist, and a sexy midriff. On top of that, he could see each bead of water sliding down her top-class figure. Just the way that bathrobe clung to her curves was enough to get anyone going.
On top of that, Adam was filled with energy because of what Grayfia had done before. Since he didn't get the chance to cool off then, he wanted to take some time and calm down. That's why he had hoped Maki would come later.
But she left no way out, so here he was in a love hotel, standing in front of her in a bathrobe.
"You should have more experience, so I'll leave things to you, ok?" Maki's back landed on the soft bed, and her breasts jiggled under the robe, with her right nipple peeking out at the end.
