I started to run it down her arms, and she caught it up, as well as the razor.
Using the shelf that I made for her, she shaved her underarms, legs, bikini line, and then gestured at me. “Turn around.”
I did, and she cleaned up the spot at the back of my neck where my hair grew outside of my haircut.
I laughed when she said, “You need a haircut.”
“I’ve been busy trying to keep you fed and alive the last four weeks,” I admitted. “A haircut is the last thing that’s been on my mind.”
She hummed, then reached for the showerhead herself and started to clean off the back of my neck.
She hung the showerhead back up, then washed my hair, gesturing for me to bend down in order for her to do it.
“Not that I don’t love your hair,” she murmured quietly. “I love that it’s longer. It makes you look less like a stick in the mud.”
I snorted, then bent forward to rinse my hair out.
When I next opened my eyes, she was staring at me with a look of hunger on her face.
I responded in kind.

I felt like I could breathe.
I hadn’t realized that I needed his touch—and his complete honesty—and his understanding until now.
He’d let me wallow in self-pity over the last month.
He’d let me heal.
He’d held me when I was down.
He’d done everything I would’ve wanted him to do.
Then he’d had enough of it.
He’d given that to me, and I’d greedily taken it.
I’d tested him.
Though, I hadn’t realized I was testing him at the time.
I was just trying to get through the day. “You don’t blame me?” I asked for confirmation.
I just needed him to say it one more time. I needed to hear it.
“No, baby,” he promised, tucking a lock of wet hair behind my ear. “I would never, ever blame you for something like that. And I’m offended that you thought I would.”
I looked down at his chest, allowing my fingers to play through the chest hair he had between his pectorals.
“I never thought you would,” I admitted. “I just… I guess I blame myself.”
