Patrick seemed casual. “He’s a machine fanatic.” Emerald didn’t answer Patrick but turned to Malcolm. “Where did the robots come from?” Malcolm shook his head. “The senior mercenary said that there was a robot civilization several hundred years ago, but nobody saw them. I’m surprised that Patrick saw them.” “Why did all of them have to be destroyed?” Emerald questioned further. Malcolm smiled. The stubborn seniors…. always stubborn, but always have their reasons.” The next day Emerald felt at ease because Patrick and Malcolm were staying in the factory all day to study the plane and had no time to care about her. Malcolm sent a female mercenary to take Emerald downtown for a tour, which was relaxing and refreshing. Ilona, the young sergeant, was around 18 or 19 years old. She was comely and soft. Emerald was delighted with her company. Downtown, they had visited almost all the sceneries but were still lingering around when Ilona suddenly had an idea. She took Emerald to a famous spa downtown. Compared to the almost empty town, the spa was crowded with customers. Nearly all mercenaries who were not on active duty gathered here at night. When the two military, female officers walked into the spa, the mercenary all paid attention to them. Emerald had gotten used to the mercenary’s rascal approach and didn’t care about them, but walking into the hot spring area with just a bath towel, she was astonished by the sight in front of her. Men and women were bathing together. Although it is common in several cities on earth, as a college student, Emerald had never come to such places, not to mention it was crowded with so many male mercenaries, and the atmosphere was somehow awkward for the women here. Fortunately, Ilona knew their limits and took Emerald directly to a separate room at the end. The spring inside was clean, and they had it all to themselves. “Lieutenant, you can stay here. It’s too crowded outside.” Ilona smiled. “What about you?” “I will stay outside because some of my friends are calling me. Lieutenant, you can sleep for a while. The medical spring is good for your health. I will call you in an hour.” Emerald knew what the “friend” meant. Although they couldn’t do anything in public, there was some secret flirting under the water, given that men and women were taking a bath in the same hot spring. She hadn’t expected llona to be so wild under that calm appearance. She stepped into the spring in a swimsuit. The room had an open ceiling, exposing the cold starry light from the sky over her head. The warm air spread through her body with warmth. After her injuries, Emerald still felt weak most of the time and easily fell asleep in such a comfortable environment. She rested her head on the stone stairs beside her. Hearing footsteps, she half-opened her eyes and saw a figure under the light. Emerald covered her eyes with her hand and asked. “Is it time to go now?” The person crouched beside the pool and looked at Emerald. Emerald felt a familiar male touch. She opened her eyes immediately and saw Patrick’s handsome face and strong body next to her. Surprised, she saw Patrick’s eyes moving from her surprised face down to her shoulder and the rest of her body. She was only wearing her two-piece swimsuit in the water. He was silent. After he had finished his discussion with Malcolm, he had been informed by Malcolm that his “sister-in-law didn’t come back.” He thought she was wandering outside and hadn’t paid much attention, but a while later, Malcolm surprised him. “Shit, I forgot to tell you that they went to the spa.” What kind of spa? Although it was not uncommon for men and women to share a bath at the resort naked, Patrick knew that Malcolm was simple on the outside but crafty at heart, which is why he had told Emerald to stay away from him. Now he probably had taken Emerald to enrage him. Patrick was outraged at the simple thought that Emerald’s white and beautiful body was exposed to those rascal soldiers. However, he didn’t regard it as jealousy but that he had taken Emerald as his private belonging, and he didn’t like others to lay their attention on his belongings. Uttering a frustrated “stop doing things like this,” he rushed to the spa in Malcolm’s joking sight. Fortunately, Malcolm hadn’t dared to go too far, and Emerald knew to protect herself. She was in a separate room by herself. When Patrick saw her in the hot spring, he didn’t wake her up immediately but stood beside the pool for over half an hour, waiting for her to wake up. Seeing her sleeping alone was different from when she was sleeping in his arms. Her long hair fixed behind her head made her ivory-white face, which was slightly blushed, look gentler. Her dark eyebrows were conspicuous, and under the light of the steam, her red lips made him suddenly recollect its special taste, irresistible to kiss. This was the first time Patrick was amazed by Emerald, overwhelmed with indescribable feelings. He lowered his head, looking quietly at her until her long moist eyelashes trembled and her bright eyes opened. He looked at her for a while before he started to strip off his clothes without hesitation. At the sight of his acts, Emerald felt intricate. There was no doubt that such a handsome man appearing in the spa during a cold winter night made her irresistible and lost. She saw his strong body gradually being exposed in front of her and couldn’t help recollecting their intense sexual passion over the last few weeks. Although he was the only man she’d been with and couldn’t compare, he satisfied her entirely as their sex life was extraordinary. She had put aside her issues with him and the robot princess, and the awkwardness between them now was only related to their status and honesty between them. Despite her resistance, she felt herself gradually getting more and more addicted to him. She had no time to think about it any further right now. Patrick’s body emerged into the water, pressing her powerfully onto the pool edge as he kissed her.
