I narrow my eyes, but on the inside I m less irritated, understanding that he s worried about me. Okay, one day, I say against his lips.He nods and then dips the washcloth into the bathtub of water. Now, lean back. I glance at the soaked washcloth in his hand. Why? Because, he leans in and brushes his lips across mine. I m going to wash off all those cutsthat damn Faerie put all over you, he says in a low voice.I do what he says and lean back, resting my head against the back of the tub, the water flowingover my body.I m completely naked except for my locket and my muscles feel like I ve just ran amarathon.Yet, with each touch of his hand, I start to feel better as he moves the washcloth over mybody, wiping away the dried blood and mud as he cleans off the cuts.I swear it feels like he swashing away the icky feelings I ve been experiencing and the memories of what I did to Nicholas.Ifeel cleaner, more relaxed, more in tune with him.He s touching me everywhere, even when he s not,the magnetic bond syncing our bodies together.I shut my eyes as he works the cloth over my neck, down my chest, over my breasts.I groan,curving upward, but I don t open my eyes, even when his hand moves to the inside of my thighs.Justwhen I think I can t take it anymore, his hand and the cloth leave my body.Seconds later, he combshis fingers through my hair and begins washing it as he tenderly tugs at the roots.When he finishes I open my eyes and look up at him.
