Cya and hope you enjoy this folks! And thx for the reviews… theres something naughty brewing in this chapter it will be the prelude for the next ;)


10.1 Bath Madness

The short man glanced at the three of us and shook his head disapprovingly.

"Ah I can see you guys aren't ready yet. Come now, a bath will work wonders." And so saying, he led us into a beautiful bathroom. "You have 30 minutes."

What the heck? Hey, this is not fair! I had just bathed less than 2 hours ago, didn't I? Alright maybe the other two really needed a bath but me? Before I could protest he had already exited the room and soon after we heard something clamp into place...

I tried to pry the door open. No luck. Looks like we were locked in; for better or worse... Inwardly I seethed with anger. This 'Publicity' thing was starting to get on my nerves! How dare they presume so much!

Shen and Duo Lon seemed to be of a different opinion however. While I was busy making a display of my anger and trying to uncover any possible exit(s), the pair had already disrobed and jumped into the bath.

Sighing resignedly, I turned around and very soon it occurred to me there was going to be a very Big Problem.

Because you see, I, the Ash Crimson am not used to bathing with others. I have and will always bathe alone. No doubts about that!

"Ummmm guys, maybe you could finish in 20 minutes and let me soak myself in it later for the remaining time? Please?"

"Hmmmnnnn..."

"Please, I need some privacy." I pouted prettily. Unfortunately it did not have the desired effect.

"Yo, what's the matter Ash? We are all men, there's nothing to be ashamed of. You have it, I have it, he has it." Shen could still see I wasn't convinced though.

"Ok, look. Even Duo Lon here has no issues about us bathing together." And as if to prove his point the presumably naked Shen hugged the presumably naked Duo Lon. Gulp! Now, that action made me all the more jittery...

"What's the matter dude? Oh man, don't tell me you have grown a pussy? Is that it?"

"Ummm, no. Of course not!"

"Well then what are you so afraid of? We are buddies and should have nothing to hide."

By now, even the usually aloof Duo Lon stared at me suspiciously. Damn, things were not looking good indeed. From the look in their eyes, I knew I had to react fast or risk being stripped and dragged in head-to-toe. And the thought itself was rather… humiliating.

I felt myself redden under their scrutiny.

"Ok then. But on one condition- I get to keep my briefs on."

"Haha, whoever said we weren't wearing ours? You really think we are naked? Hahaha."

I felt an even deeper red staining my cheeks this time round.

"Great job Ash. Brilliant! You have outdone yourself this time. Now they think you're dirty minded too." An inner voice chided me. Sad but true I know…

After I had stripped (minus the briefs of course) and entered the bath, Duo Lon held my hand as if to draw my attention.

"You could never be too careful. For all you know we could be filmed even now, that's why we always bathe with our briefs on in public places." He confided.

"Just some basic precautions." The other added with a wink.

Ahahaha… now that made perfect sense...
