Right?

Right.

“I want a shower.”

“And I want you to stop using your voice. You’re hurting your throat worse.”

He wasn’t wrong. Every time she spoke it felt like sandpaper across her throat. But now that she’d thought about how gross she felt . . . she felt even worse.

“I need to. I feel disgusting. I can’t stay like this.”

She really, really needed to get clean.

“I don’t think the doctor told you I wasn’t allowed to shower.”

“You could get dizzy, fall, and hit your head.” He shook his head. “No. Not happening.”

“So I just have to stay stinky and dirty?”

Awesome. She’d just told him that she was stinky. Although if he stuck around, he’d soon find that out for himself.

“The only way you’re showering is if I’m showering with you.”

Oh yeah, she could imagine that . . . he’d strip her off and press her against the wall as he fucked her nice and hard. Or perhaps he’d order her onto her knees . . .

Down, girl.

He didn’t mean it like that.

Stay cool. Do not let him see how he affects you.

“Yeah, well, obviously, that’s not happening,” she said.

“Obviously.”

Did he sound regretful? Or was she just searching for what she wanted to hear?

“But I suppose I could run you a bath.”

All right. That would be acceptable. She nodded. “Thank you.”

Regent stareddown at the bath as it filled.

He picked up a bottle that was sitting on the lip. Strawberry cream body wash.

Did he pour this in? What if she didn’t want any?

He decided to let her put it in herself.

For fuck’s sake.

He’d never been this indecisive in his life. This girl.

She had him tied up in knots. Sometimes, he thought that she wanted him. The way she stared at him . . . with lust and need.

She was definitely attracted to him.

And it was making it hard for him to fight his own attraction to her.
