“Fuck,” I breathe with a rasp.
“Aren’t you kind of old to be missing the bowl?” she teases.
“I’m going to kill Bishop.”
“For what?”
My shoulders and back burn from coughing. When I bend to clean up the toilet, I give a small hiss. I think my ego is bruised as much as my insides.
“Leave that. I’ll take care of it. Come here,” she says softly.
I look behind me to find a gentle look on her face. I normally wouldn’t want anyone cleaning up my piss, but my head feels so fucking heavy, I think I might fall over. I stumble to the tub like I’ve been drinking all night and climb in.
The warm water is soothing to my aching body. I sink in and put my head back. This feels so damn good.
“Keep your eyes closed,” she says, seconds later. She turns the water on and off again, then she places a hot rag over my face.
With her small fingers, she massages my pressure points and it’s like a bubble pops in my head. “Come on, blow,” she says as she peels the rag back and holds it to my nose.
Opening my eyes, I look into her browns. I feel like a toddler, but I’m too weak to do anything more than follow her request. I start to cough again.
Rem gets another rag. She heats it with warm water and places it over my chest and throat. It feels amazing. I close my eyes again and fall back against the tub. I don’t realize I’ve drifted off until the smell of pine bursts through my senses.
I open my eyes to find Rem in one of my T-shirts and a pair of my boxers.
She’s on her hands and knees cleaning the bathroom floor. Her ass is in the air sending my clouded head in the wrong direction. Shutting that down quickly, I groan. I sit up in the tub.
“Babe, please don’t do that,” I say and my voice breaks. I clear my throat. “I’ll clean up.”
“Knight, you can barely keep your eyes open. I warmed that water twice already. I’ve got this,” she says.
I blow out a breath and frown. Damn, I need to brush my teeth. Right as I have the thought, I spot my toothbrush, toothpaste, and a cup of water on the edge of the tub.
Reaching for the supplies, I get my mouth freshened up before she finishes putting the supplies away. Rem comes to collect the cup and my toothbrush. When she returns, she sits on the edge of the tub and fills a washrag with soap.
“Sit up,” she commands.
I lift a brow at her, causing her to give me that look she used to get in the courtroom. I sit up with a grin on my lips, allowing her to wash my back before she decides to kick my ass. The warmth on my back and the soothing circles she’s making releases more of the tension in my body, almost lulling me to sleep again.
I’m in heaven when she starts to wash my hair. The way her nails massage my scalp feels so damn good. If this is what it feels like to have your woman pamper you, I want Rem even more.
I wish I had the strength to tug her down into this bath with me. I’d fuck her until she forgets all her little reasons why we shouldn’t be together. My cock twitches from the thought of it.
“Hey, I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I’m here to get you cleaned up and fed,” she says close to my ear as she reaches down to wash my growing erection.
“Doing that you’re going to get more than you bargained for. I promise you that,” I say in a gravelly voice.
“Down boy,” she teases while giving my shaft a gentle squeeze.
“You love playing with me,” I say against her ear.
“Pull back with those germs.”
I chuckle and move back. She finishes getting the soap off my body and goes for two of the large towels. I savor the feel of her drying my hair with the warm towel before wrapping it around my head. Opening the other one, she steps back and holds it up for me.
“Come on, big boy. Time to get you out of there.”
I snort but lift to my full height and step out of the tub. Towering over her, I lock my gaze on hers. So many unspoken words linger between us. She’s the first to break the trance as she wraps the towel around me and dries my body off.
“There are sweats on your bed. The sheets are fresh. I’ll make you some soup and a hot toddy,” she says breathlessly.
“Thank you,” I say, cupping her cheek.
I want to kiss her, but I truly don’t want to pass whatever this is to her. Releasing her, I stroll into the bedroom to find it cleaned with fresh sheets and clothes laid out for me. I smile, liking the thought of Rem taking care of me more than I thought I would.
