She hadn’t realized he’d already started the water until she saw the steam billow out of the open shower door.
He picked her up and carried her in, setting her down on her feet with her back to the water and her front pressed against his.
She felt herself start to tremble with an emotion she’d never experienced before. Her nipples grew hard and started to hurt, and the place between her legs throbbed.
“Let’s get the panties off, baby.”
She clutched his shoulder with one hand while she kept her injured arm over her breasts.
“I’m going to wash your hair first. I don’t have conditioner, but the shampoo has some. I’ll get you some tomorrow.”
He poured a glob into his palm and started working it into her hair. Her eyes slid closed, and a moan slipped from her mouth as his fingers caressed her scalp.
The arm she’d used to cover her tits went around his waist to hold herself steady.
One of his arms wrapped around her. “Easy, honey. I’ve got you. I’ll try to be quick.”
Although she wanted this to last forever, she murmured, “Okay.”

Devon gritted his teeth when he lifted her. She hardly weighed anything. Yes, she was a small person, maybe five-feet-two or three, but he knew she didn’t weigh over a hundred pounds.
There were cuts, bruises, and scrapes all over her. Her skin was pale and cold, and it concerned him. When he had her down to her panties, he saw that even though she was thin, she still had a good handful of breasts that she tried to hide behind her arm, and her hips had a nice curve to them.
She had a bandage wrapped around her forearm, but blood had seeped through. He wasn’t going to attempt to get it off, hoping the warm water would loosen it so it didn't stick to her injury.
“Let’s get you into the shower.”
He held her steady as he pulled her panties off and dumped them into the corner of the shower. The fact she didn’t flinch or even gasp told him she was about at her limit, and he needed to get her into bed. He quickly washed her hair and then her body before reaching for a towel and wrapping her in it.
After he sat her on the counter, he grabbed one for himself and wrapped it around his hips. Another towel was used to squeeze the moisture out of her hair.
“Do you think you can sit here for a second while I get you a shirt?”
“Yes.”
He raced into his closet, dropped the towel and his sopping boxers, grabbed gym shorts, and pulled them on. Within seconds, he rushed back with one of his shirts.
“Let’s get you into this.” He rolled the sleeves up and over the injury so he could take care of the wet bandage once he got her situated in the bed.
“Okay, pet, I think you’re about ready to drop, so I’m going to put you into my bed while I take care of everything.”
Something in his chest tightened when she nodded, then leaned forward, and set her head on his chest.
Jesus. She was so damn sweet, and he was determined to do anything and everything necessary to get her healthy and happy.
