I turned to show him the bottle. “Picking up my face scrub.”
His features relaxed, and he closed his eyes. “Turn back around, and do me a favor. Don’t bend over again.”
“Um, okay.” It took me until he’d rinsed the shampoo and rubbed in the conditioner to realize that he’d been turned on by my inadvertent move.
“I’ll leave you to rinse and wash other stuff.” He walked out before I could come up with a response.
I quickly finished showering and stepped out, finally feeling clean for the first time in days. In removing the plastic bags, I was satisfied I hadn’t gotten either cast too wet and then dressed in my short set pajamas. A knock on the bathroom door surprised me.
“You decent?” Colby asked.
“Yeah, you can come in.”
He did so, already having changed into dry clothes, too. “I’ll brush your hair for you.”
“You don’t have to. It’ll take me some more time, but I can do it left-handed.”
“It’s kind of intriguing, in a way, to comb a woman’s hair. Here, let’s do it on the bed, so you can get off your foot.” He picked up both the blow-dryer and my brush.
I took a seat with him positioned behind me, gently brushing out the knots. There were a lot of intimate scenarios I’d imagined myself in over the years with Colby, but this wasn’t one of them. If I had known having my hair in his hands would be such a damn turn-on, I wouldn’t have agreed. This was the most exquisite torture.
After working through the tangles, he took his time with the blow-dryer, drying sections along the back and sides, finally scooting around in front of me and drying the bangs last. Both of us remained quiet throughout. He broke the spell when he stood up and took the items with him into the bathroom.
I was still sitting on the bed when he returned to the room. “Thanks for that. I feel a lot better.”
He nodded, looking anywhere except in my eyes. “Sure, no problem. I’ll let you get ready for bed, then.”
