“Theo,” she warns.
I look up at her, and my heart skips a beat when I find her looking down at me.“You’d do exactly the same for me and you know it,” I tell her, confident that I’m right.
Something familiar twinkles in her eyes and her lips part as if she’s going to shoot back some witty remark about not giving a shit about me, but just before it rolls off her tongue, she bites it back.
“Just you wait until I have a rough match. I’ll be cashing in all these favours for you to patch me up. Lean on me,” I say as I wait for her to lift her leg. “That’s it, babe.”
The second I shed my own underwear, I pull Raine into my arms and walk us into the shower. Keeping her out of the spray, I turn it on and get blasted by cold water. It’s not until it’s warm and I switch our positions and let her stand under the torrent.
A filthy moan rips from her lips as the powerful stream hits her shoulders and despite my desire to keep this about her and her healing, my cock jerks at the sound.
“Good?” I ask, needing to focus on her.
“Yeah,” she whispers.
Reaching for a bottle of shower gel, I squeeze a generous blob onto my sponge and get to work.With every gentle swipe of the bubbles, I lean forward and press a kiss to the darkened skin.
I have no idea how to make her understand that the past she’s so ashamed of doesn’t bother me. But this has to be a step in the right direction.
Once her top half is thoroughly clean, I return to my position on my knees in front of her and continue working.She stares down at me with wide, tear-filled eyes. But at no point does she let them fall.
By the time I stand again, I’m fully hard and ready for action. Not that I have any intention of getting any. But I can’t help myself. My girl is standing before me naked and wet. My self-control is only so good.
And she doesn’t miss it—not that she could. Her eyes lock on my dick and she stumbles back a little.
“Turn around,” I instruct, not wanting her to think I’m expecting anything.
I trade the sponge for shampoo, and I get about washing her hair.My cock brushes against her arse, and every time she moans as I massage her hair, it jerks in excitement, but I never take it any further.
The next time we mess around it’s going to be becausesheinitiates it. I just have to be patient while she works through all this shit in her head.
She’ll get there, I know she will.
I just wish I knew how long it’ll take. I want my girl back.
By the time we’re done, she’s obviously flagging.Turning the shower off, I grab a big fluffy towel, wrap it gently around her body and sweep her off her feet.
“Theo,” she shrieks, wrapping her arms around my neck and holding tight.
I sit her on the edge of the bed and step back.“Don’t move,” I say before rushing back to get a towel for myself and pulling open the bottom drawer of my dresser to reveal Raine’s hairdryer and a brush.
“How?” she questions as I plug it in next to the bed and move closer.
“Told you, babe. This is home now. Everything you need is here.”
Climbing onto the bed behind her, I gently brush her hair before turning the dryer on and blowing it straight.
By the time I’m done, she’s almost asleep sitting up, but I think I’ve done a pretty good job.Replacing her towel with another of my t-shirts, I encourage her back into bed and lie beside her.
“Thank you,” she whispers, her eyes closed, her body exhausted.
“Anything, sunshine. We’re going to get through this together, okay?”
She murmurs something inaudible, but I tell myself it was a whispered, ‘okay’.

The next two days continue much the same. I might get the odd glimpse of my Raine, but as soon as it emerges, she shuts it down as if she’s scared of herself.
