Outside, small hot spring pools dotted both sides of the path, shielded by thick shrubbery.
In the center of the courtyard was a huge swimming pool, flanked by two medium-sized hot spring pools. By now, quite a few people were already soaking inside.
Erica glanced around, then pulled him down a small path to find a more secluded, smaller hot spring pool.
These small pools were tiny, only big enough for about four people at once. They were basically designed for couples.
Since they were already here, he couldn't be too fussy. Besides, he'd much rather choose a secluded little pool like this than soak with a bunch of strangers in a large one.
Just as he was wondering where to put his bathrobe, Erica had already slipped hers off. She casually tossed it onto a nearby branch and turned to face him without a shred of self-consciousness.
'A b-bikini?!'
The classic, solid black bikini she wore made her already fair skin seem even more radiant.
