“Okay. You’re waterproof but you’re never getting undressed like this. First, how’s your pain level? Do you have medicine you’re supposed to take?”
“No oral antibiotic until they finish the IV treatment. I’m supposed to take anti-inflammatory pills when my hand hurts,” she answered.
“Have you taken any today?”
“No.”
“How’s the pain?”
“Bad. I should have taken some earlier,” CC admitted.
“Meds first.” He walked with her into the bathroom. When she waved her wrapped hand at the medicine cabinet, he opened it and found the right container. Seconds later, he popped two tablets into her mouth and held a glass of water to her lips.
“Now for the shower.” He turned on the water to warm and returned to her side. “Let’s get these clothes off.”
When he reached for the button on her jeans, CC danced backward. He couldn’t see her naked.
“I’m not going to promise to keep my eyes shut, CC. I will promise you that I’m here to help you tonight and nothing else. Daddies know everything about their Littles. If you decide that I am yours, there will be nothing off limits to my eyes and my touch,” Hunter informed her before pressing his mouth to hers softly and then stepping back.
Concentrating on his handsome face, CC allowed him to lower her jeans and panties. When he squatted at her feet to take off her shoes and the clothing around her ankles, she watched his nose flare as he inhaled her intimate scent. Desire flamed inside her.
He stood and kissed her lips once again. “Damn, Little girl. I can’t wait until you’re healthy enough to enjoy making love. Soon, you’ll feel better.”
“You promise?”
“You’ll feel better, and we will be intimate, Little girl. I can’t wait to kiss every inch of your soft skin,” he promised her as he stroked over her ribcage and around her back to unfasten her bra.
“Get in the shower, sweetheart. Take your time.”
Turning, she walked the short distance to the beckoning sound of water. CC peeked over her shoulder and discovered his gaze was fixed on her bottom. His expression was pure masculine hunger. She hurried into the shower, feeling the corners of her lips quirk up with feminine satisfaction. Judging from the tenting at the zipper of his pants, Hunter liked what he saw.
Her zing of energy evaporated quickly as she used her good hand to wash herself. CC tried to ignore the slickness between her legs that betrayed her physical reaction to him touching her. Could he be my Daddy? She stood in the shower for a few extra seconds, basking in the feel of the water on her skin before crossing her fingers for good luck. Please, let me be that lucky to find a Daddy again.
When she stepped from the shower, he quickly dried her before removing the towel from around her head. He dropped the nightshirt she usually hid under her pillow over her head and settled it into place. CC allowed him to steer her to the sink where she brushed her teeth after he loaded toothpaste on her brush. She watched him pick up her wide-tooth comb. With efficient strokes, he untangled her hair while she rinsed the foam from her mouth.
“Can you sleep on wet hair?” he asked.
“Definitely.”
“Time for bed then.”
Within seconds, he had her tucked under the covers. Tangerine meowed his approval of the visitor as he took his usual spot propping his head on her foot. His purrs of happiness and the familiar feel of her own bed after being gone made the last of CC’s energy disappear. She allowed her heavy eyelids to cover her eyes, and she was asleep in moments.
When CC woke up the next morning, Tangerine had abandoned her to lay draped over the handsome man lying on the covers next to her. She stared at him, wanting to be mad that he’d stayed here without asking but so comforted that Hunter had been near if she needed him. It would have been difficult for CC to take care of herself alone last night if she’d had a problem.
Quiet beeps came from his phone, and Hunter blinked his eyes open, instantly alert. “Hey, you’re awake. I guessed you’d need to get up about the same time as me. How do you feel?”
“Much better after sleeping in my own bed,” she assured him. “The clean hair was enough to raise my wellness level. Thank you for washing it.”
“Anytime,” he offered as he practiced his scalp massage on Tangerine’s relaxed body.
They both laughed as the cat wiggled over so Hunter was rubbing his rounded belly. The feline was completely won over by his talented fingers as well.
CC squeezed her legs together as the erotic thought of having his amazing fingers playing intimately between her thighs burst into her mind. Between his knowledge of anatomy and sense of touch, Hunter would surely be an incredible lover. She felt her face heat as she pictured him touching her.
