“Really nice.”

Would feel even better if she were pressed up against me.

Sitting on the ledge, she dips the washcloth into the water and adds a generous amount of soap to it.

“Be honest, how bad is the pain?” she asks, softly rubbing over my arm.

“On a scale of one to ten, probably a five.”

She nods, intently focusing on washing across my chest and other arm.

“My ribs are tender and my muscles are stiff, but nothin’ a good night’s rest can’t cure.”

“Any news on Lilith?”

I tell her the latest update and she frowns.

“I hope she makes it.”

“She will,” I say confidently, resting an arm on the other ledge. “She’s strong and spunky, like you.”

“Not sure if that’s a compliment or not.”

“It is.” My eyes track her every movement and when her hand lowers down my stomach, underneath the water, I inhale a sharp breath.

She pauses. “That hurt?”

“No.” She hasn’t touched me like this in so long, my heart’s threatening to explode at how desperate I am for more of it. “You can keep goin’.”

She continues washing me, adding more soap as she does. Shifting closer, she reaches around me to get my neck and shoulders.

“Mm…” I unintentionally moan as she digs into my muscles. “Fuck, that feels good.”

My eyes fall closed as every inch of my body melts into her touch.

“If you wanna move forward a little, I can get your lower back,” she says softly.

I bend my knees and slide away from her to give her better access. The cool air hitting my skin causes me to shiver.

“One second…” Her voice is distant, so I assume she’s grabbing something else from the shower, but then the water ripples and bare legs come into view around my waist.

Is she…

“Finally decided to join me, huh?” Looking over my shoulder, she’s plastered to my back.

“No peekin’…” The washcloth finds my skin again as she continues scrubbing.

“You seriously expect me to sit here while you’re naked behind me and not look?”

“Yes…you’re supposed to be takin’ it easy.”

“That’s…impossible.” My hands grab her calves on each side ofme and I playfully squeeze. If she’s touching me, I need to be touching her.

“You’re the one who said your mobility was limited, so don’t be gettin’ any ideas.”

Her taunting voice has my dick growing hard.

“I’m long past that, darlin’. Your nipples are etched into my skin at this point.”
