He quickly pushed the door open to see what had happened. Inside, he found Ariana standing naked under the shower, surrounded by fallen bath products. She looked up and turned on the water heater. The warm water cascaded down her body.

Watching the steamy scene unfold, Holden couldn't help but gulp. He asked, “Are you alright?"

Ariana shook her head slightly and slurred, "I need to shower; I smell like booze."

Holden exhaled deeply, concern lacing his voice. "Do you think you can shower on your own?"

Hearing that, Ariana turned to look at Holden. She paused for a moment, then gestured to Holden with a beckoning finger. "You! Come and help me."

Holden paused, unsure if he could keep his composure.

But Ariana had already stepped into the bathtub and closed her eyes, ready to relax.

Holden let out a sigh and crouched by the tub to adjust the water for her.

Then, Ariana nodded toward the bath products on the floor and requested, "I want bubbles."

Holden searched the floor, found the shower gel, poured some into the bath, and began to create bubbles with a bath sponge.

He took bathing Ariana very seriously, trying to keep his focus and control his natural reactions.

But just when he was changing the water, Ariana reached out and touched his crotch unexpectedly.

Holden was caught off guard. The next second, Ariana's voice broke the silence. “Honey, you have an erection."

The bathroom was filled with warm steam, enveloping the couple in a cozy embrace.

The sudden surge of desire took hold of Holden. He could feel the heat rising, and his pulse quickened with each passing second.

With a gentle splash, Ariana emerged from the depths of the bathtub, her eyes sparkling with affection as she wrapped her arms around Holden's neck.

Holden found himself mesmerized by the sight of Ariana, his gaze lingering on her collarbone. Unconsciously, he tightened his grip around her waist.

Ariana leaned closer slowly as if to kiss him, but then, she playfully nipped at Holden's nose, her voice sweet as she said, "I'm famished. I need something to eat."

Holden was left speechless, realizing Ariana was quite intoxicated and unaware of her actions.

Flushed with embarrassment, Holden closed his eyes, struggling to regain composure. Gently pulling Ariana away, he sought to quell his rising desire, guiding her back into the bathtub.
