“Two towels?” she asks as she flushes, then she moves to the sink to wash her hands. There's dried blood on her thigh and a fresh trail running down her legs. “Fuck,” she mutters, and takes her top off, tossing it at the hamper before heading towards me to get into the shower.

“One for me and one for you,” I explain. “Now, get in so I can wash you clean.”

“I didn’t know you could be so bossy,” she grumbles, stepping inside the stall. She reaches for the loofah, but I grab it from her.

“You know you love it,” I tease, kissing her bare, wet shoulder. She sighs, tilting her head to the side, giving me access to her neck as she leans into me. “Let me clean you,” I murmur against the back of her ear before sucking on the skin behind it. Her whole body shivers as a moan slips from her sexy lips, and she nods her head.

I guide her to the built-in shower bench and sit her down on it. We don’t talk as I get on my knees, grabbing the body wash and squirting some onto the loofah. I rub it in until it starts to foam, then part her legs. I start to wash the blood off her thighs, the soap turning a pinkish color. Glancing up at her, our eyes lock, and I see so much pain along with other emotions in her eyes.

“What’s wrong?” I ask, my hands gripping her thighs.

“It’s nothing,” she whispers, wiping at her eyes.

“Harlow, I know you don’t like to talk about things, but we love you, we’re always here for you. I don’t like to see you in pain.”

She lets out a laugh that's part sob. “I’m a fucking baby, I’m weak.”

“You're anything but weak,” I growl, hating that she thinks this of herself.

“Yeah? Then why does you doing this for me make me think of when Triver washed my dirty, dying body before he laid me on the table to tie me up and rape me?” she cries, growing more angry at herself as the tears fall.

My blood boils, fury filling my veins. It’s taking everything in me to keep Beast from losing his shit. But she doesn’t need him right now, she needs me. This is the first time she’s talked about what happened to her when she was taken, and I won’t do something that would cause her to close in on herself again.

I say nothing, allowing her to continue. “He wanted me clean, just for him. I was too weak to do anything, to even lift my arms. He treated me like a fucking doll, cleaning me, touching me in places he had no right to.” When she looks up at me, her eyes are bloodshot and red. My heart shatters, and I vow to myself that I will fucking obliterate anyone who even thinks of harming my girl. “I promised myself, Neo, I promised myself that I would never let someone touch me unless I allowed it. But I had no power in that moment, and I fucking hated it.”

She launches herself at me, sobbing into my chest, and I hold her tightly to me. I let her cry in my arms as I rub her back, telling her how much I love her, how no one will ever hurt her again, and how fucking strong shereallyis. When in reality, I want to watch the fucking world burn. I want to bring that cocksucker back to life and rip strips of his flesh from his bones with a fucking blow torch. I want to let Beast loose on the world because what I’m feeling, it's new, it's raw. Now, is the time Beast would take over to protect me from those feelings, but not this time. I need to suck it the fuck up and be here for my girl. If she has to feel, then so do I.

I’m so fucking proud of her for letting me in, for talking to me.

“Take it away, Neo. Please,” she begs, lifting her face from my chest. “I can’t handle this, but I don’t want Queenie to take over right now. I need to deal with this myself, but fuck, I can’t.”

I cup her face, my eyes locking with hers so she can see how much I mean these next words. “You will never have to deal with anything alone. We are always here for you. Your pain is ours. We're in this together, no matter what. Do you understand me?”

She nods her head, her tears mixing with the water. I’ve never seen her broken, so human. Her black hair clings to her body in messy strands. I brush some from her cheek before smashing my lips to hers. Our kiss is painful, raw, and messy. My fingers tangle in her hair as my free hand grips her ass, pushing her body as close to mine as I can get her. Her arms lock around my neck, nails digging into my flesh. I groan as she breaks the skin, and I know it’s enough to make me bleed.

Our teeth clash in a battle of dominance and power. I push her against the shower wall, grabbing her thighs, and lifting her up. She locks her legs around me, and I waste no time lining my cock up with her entrance and thrusting up into her in one savage movement. She cries out, breaking the kiss, her head tossing back against the wall. My mouth latches onto her neck, and I kiss and suck at her flesh as I pump my hips, driving my cock into her over and over again. She screams my name, her cries of pleasure encouraging me to go harder, to make her cum, to bring her pleasure to replace the pain.

My lips trail down her chest, leaving my mark as I go. I latch my mouth around her nipple, sucking hard before biting down on the tight, little bud. She cries out again, my name never sounding so sweet coming from her lips.

Beast is giving me full control right now, so this is all me. The need to care for her, to take away any bad feelings she has, consumes me. I want the only thing on her mind after this to be how my cock stretched her perfect pussy, or how I made her cum so hard she passed out in my arms.

Needing to touch her, to bring her pleasure in other ways, I set her down on her feet and pull out. She cries out at the loss, but it’s not for long because I spin her around, grip her hips and thrust back into her.

“Neo!” she screams as I crush her body between me and the wall. Her face turned to the side, cheek pressed against the tile.

“Think of me,” I growl, the slapping of our skin filling the bathroom. “Think ofmycock sliding in and out of you. How my mouth feels on your breasts. Think of my fingers playing with your clit, bringing you to the edge,” I tell her, slipping my hand down to her pussy.

“He doesn’t exist, only us. Only me. Only you. It’s me who's touching you.” I start to rub at her clit, circling my fingers around it, and adding just enough pressure.

“Only you,” she moans. “Only us.”

“Good girl,” I say, biting down on her shoulder as I fuck her into oblivion.

“Neo!” she moans. “Fuck, Neo.”

“I know, baby girl.” I pant, pulling her away from the wall so that she’s flush to my front. She leans her head back against my shoulder as she brings her arms up around my neck, grabbing the hair at the back of my head. She pulls just hard enough to make my scalp tingle, making me moan. “Give it all to me, baby. Give me your pleasure and your pain.” I pluck at her nipple while still playing with her clit.

Her legs are shaking, and I know she's close. Wanting us to both cum together, I pick up the pace.
