Chapter 17 A Private Soak
Finished
Ava glanced at him and quickly looked away. The man looked pretty good, but ever since she came to Capitol Planet, she had met too many good–looking people. Whether it was her brothers from the Morren family or Jane’s three husbands, all of them stood out in looks. With her current standards, even this movie star didn’t seem that impressive.
Of course, she didn’t point that out in front of her starstruck friend. She smiled and said, “Now that you got to take a picture with your childhood idol, I guess your dream finally came true.”
Lianne carefully put the photo into her bag and pulled Ava toward the hot spring.
After changing into the robes provided by the spa, Ava looked around curiously. It was her first time coming to a place like this. They booked a small private pool so no one else would disturb them.
The milky water was covered in a thin layer of mist. Through the steam, the curves of their bodies looked faint and soft.
Lianne took off her robe and slipped into the pool like a mermaid.
Ava quickly turned away, surprised by how bold she was.
“Ava, what are you doing just standing there? Hurry up and get undressed,” Lianne said.
Ava hesitated for a moment and then took off her robe. Luckily, she had already brought a swimsuit in her space ring.
Lianne tilted her head and smiled when she saw it. “There are no men here. You don’t have to be shy. Whatever you have, I have too.”
She even puffed out her chest a little. Ava saw how unbothered she was and felt a bit awkward.
Lianne had a petite frame but was perfectly shaped in all the right places. Even Ava wondered how she managed to breathe with that figure.
Ava joked, “If I took everything off, I’d probably feel insecure standing next to you.”
Lianne laughed. “You don’t have to be insecure. You look great the way you are. Having too much is annoying anyway. Clothes don’t even fit right.”
Ava sat down and closed her eyes to relax.
Lianne soon wrapped a towel around her chest and sat down beside her, copying her
movements.

Chapter 1: A Prale Soak

After soaking for a while, Ava felt completely relaxed. She stood up, ready to get out, when Lianne suddenly pounced and hugged her waist.
“Ava, your waist is so tiny. You even have abs! Let me touch them.‘ Lianne said as her hands moved over.
Ava looked helpless. “Are you done? It tickles.”
Lianne stared at her like a fangirl. “Your skin is so smooth, and your muscles are perfect. I’m jealous of the man who gets to have you. Honestly, what’s so great about men anyway? Gender roles shouldn’t be this strict.”
Ava froze in shock. She didn’t judge same–sex relationships, but she was straight. She quickly said, “I’m into men. I’m not interested in women.”
Lianne covered her mouth and laughed. “You’re so serious. I was just kidding. If we really got together, it’d be illegal.”
Lianne pinched the soft flesh on her stomach. “Compared to you, I feel insecure.”
Ava said, “I’m sucking my stomach in right now. If I relax, I’ll have a belly too. I’m not a fitness model. Don’t stress about it. If you like muscles, just work out more.”
Lianne shook her head. “Forget it. I’d never last.”
After bathing, they went to get an aromatherapy massage.
With soothing music playing, Ava felt drowsy. Behind the curtain, Lianne, who had been chatting nonstop earlier, had already fallen asleep.
Ava declined all the body treatments and focused only on her hair care.
The male massage therapist attending to her felt a bit disappointed. He had been in this line of work for almost ten years. Even though he was an artificial human, he looked decent and had great technique. Because of that, he often received attention from clients, and sometimes they would even meet him privately. People like him were never chosen for marriage. He only sought brief pleasure in moments like these.
Ava was beautiful, and her skin was flawless. She was different from his usual clients. She was quiet and sensitive. She only allowed him to massage her shoulders, back, and legs. She barely spoke at all.
Her hair was thick and soft. After finishing the treatment, she changed into her clothes and waited outside for Lianne.
Half an hour later, Lianne came out looking half–asleep. Ava looked at her with mixed feelings. By the standards of this era, Lianne was still underage.

“Are all the staff here men?” Ava asked.
Lianne yawned. “Technically, they’re all artificial humans doing this kind of job. No natural- born person would take it. Why are you asking?”
“Nothing. Just curious,” Ava said.
Lianne suddenly remembered something. “Why did you come out so early? Was the therapist bad? If you didn’t like him, you should’ve told me. We could’ve switched.”
