The lowly sung tune caught by his ears stirred his attention as he strolled along the corridor in determined steps. He was checking the mail in one hand while the other clamped his briefcase casually. He didn't mean to stop on his way to the study but he turned nonetheless, entering the bedroom.

There, no one could be seen. But he didn't miss the humming sounds that were coming from out of the bathroom. Seto put down his briefcase and threw the mail as well as his jacket onto the fluffy covers of the double bed. A tiny smile tucked at one corner of his lips as he stepped closer the bathroom's door that wasn't closed properly. He pulled at his tie, losing the silky strap around his neck as he peered inside the other room.

There she sat in the bathtub, still humming a tune he didn't recognize. He carefully pushed to door further open and leant against the doorframe, soon a smug look upon his face. He wondered how one person could still look that cute just washing their feet. He nearly chuckled as she wriggled her small toes.

"Are you having fun there, Seto?"

"Quite."

"It's not nice to sneak on someone, especially when they're bathing," she teased, her voice holding a familiar giggle as she suddenly threw a sponge at him, which he caught easily.

"You should have locked the door," he spoke lazily and cocked his head to the side. "I could have been someone else."

Serenity laughed at this. "And who would be able to get inside this house and have the desire to peer on me besides you, Seto?"

He shrugged and pushed himself off the doorframe. "I don't know. What if my brother would bring some friends and…one might get lost and find you here."

"Your brother only brings girls," she scoffed while he sat down at the edge of the bathtub.

"I've heard of girls who sneak upon other women," he retorted with a serious expression, even though he had a hard time not to grin at the idea. Instead he took the sponge and dived it into the water before he started to gently run it along Serenity's shoulder.

"What Mokuba tells you doesn't have to be necessarily true," she matched his serious expression but her eyes already laughed.

"Doesn't it?" He brushed along her collarbone to the other shoulder, squeezing the sponge. The droplets of water vanished into the bubbles of foam that had built around the woman and Seto almost emitted a disappointed sigh. He would have liked to see the drop further running down her skin.

"It doesn't." She smiled amused and pulled her long auburn hair across her shoulder to the front. "You're home early. Any special occasion?"

"No," he moved to wash her little smooth back. "Just some things I can do here better than at the company."

Giggling she raised her brows. "As like?"

Things he had saved at home in folders, files, computers and his mind. But he knew better than to ruin the moment of Serenity's flirty mood. "Like washing my wife's back. Duty, duty…"

"Aw, c'mon. You don't have to do it." She pouted and crossed her arms underneath her breasts, giving Seto more than just a clue of what was hidden by all these bubbles of foam.

"I know but the payback's worth it."

"Smart ass."

"You're sexy when you insult me." He leant down closer to her and lifted her chin with his hand.

"One-track minded bastard. How about that?" She grinned smugly.

"A good one but didn't I teach you better than just that?" He laid a hand upon her knee, slowly running down her thigh until his hand disappeared underneath the water.

His lips were so very close to hers and she grinned, mumbling: "Sex-driven jerk."

"Oh yes."

He could be in the mood playing games for a while but enough was enough. He covered her lips with his and kissed Serenity hungrily, her mouth immediately giving him all access he needed.

She moaned and pulled at his shoulders, wanting—no, needing him closer to her own body. She didn't consider his balance on the border of the bathtub and suddenly their both pairs of eyes shot open as Seto fell on top of her with a loud splashing noise. A big wave of water left the bathtub and covered now the tiles around it.

Dripping wet in his suit Seto looked pissed but then he smirked. Opportunities made thieves, right? Seto definitely had his naked wife underneath him and the suit was ruined anyway. A certain look crept upon his features. Serenity's eyes widened but she grinned before she simply grabbed for his collar and kissed him hard on his lips.

"You're a hypocrite, Seto."

"Why?"

"You make people think that you're a genius who works 24/7 to gain money to spend into Duel Monsters but in truth you're just a primitive male who's driven by sexual desire," she shrugged and added, "for me."

"Well, image is everything."
