Vex's breath stutters slightly when his fingers brush her ear; her body rises and her head tips to the side when he pulls her hair aside as though offering her neck for a kiss.
There hadn't been much of a strategy inviting Percy here. Or, there had been, but it was no more complicated than it might seem at first blush. She set her sights on him. The fact he was still wearing prison grime was an obstacle. The fact that as a location to slip away to goes, a bathhouse also gave them the opportunity to undress with each other. Inspired (in her slightly inebriated opinion), but not exactly deeply thought out.
She hadn't, for example, considered just how intimate bathing is. Especially when she lets Percy return the favor.
He might be tempted to hold her there, but Vex makes the choice for him—catching his hand in hers and leaning back against him, back to chest, wet hair sticking to his throat. For rangy scrap of a lordling, he feels surprisingly solid behind her.

"You seem to be getting your nerve, darling."
