She lifts her arms, and I remove her clothing in one smooth motion while being mindful of her wound. The bandage is white, similar to the lace panties she’s wearing.
Delilah bites her bottom lip, her teeth digging into the plump flesh when I hook my fingers in the waistband of her underwear. “Stop that,” I say with a nod at her mouth. “You’re hurting yourself.”
“But it’s okay foryouto stab me?”
I repress the laughter that builds in my chest at her snark. “That’s different. Besides, the doctor said you shouldn’t do anything strenuous.”
“I don’t think removing my panties falls under that category,” she mumbles.
“Don’t fight me, little raptor.” I can’t stop the grin that appears. “It’s not like we’re going to have sex. The only thing I’m going to do is take care of you.”
“Is it because I’m your bride? Your property?”
“No. It’s because you’re the only person in the world who matters to me.”
Like a pierced balloon, the fight rushes from her, every muscle in her body softening. She doesn’t move, but her resistance is nearly gone.
I tug on her underwear, and she lifts her hips. The scrap of material slips easily over her rounded ass, revealing her pussy. My cock twitches, the sight of her cunt making me ever harder than before.
Once I remove the lacy material from around her ankles, I stand and offer her my hand. Delilah watches me with wide eyes, her chest rising and falling rapidly. Her nipples are pebbled, and she’s so wet I can smell her arousal.
She’s going to obliterate my self-control.
I scoop her up and head into the bathroom. Delilah buries her face against my chest, her grumbling muffled. I set her onthe counter, and she shivers from the cold marble. As soon as the water is warm enough, I strip and carry her into the shower.
“This is embarrassing,” she mutters.
I squint at her. “Why? You’re beautiful.”
“But you’ll see me.”
“I’ve already seen you. Remember?”
“It was dark then.”
“You might as well get used to it.” I set Delilah on her feet and keep an arm around her waist while I reach back to close the shower door. “I plan on seeing you naked often. Every. Inch. Of. You. And I’ll be the only one.”
She purses her lips. “What about doctors?”
“I wanted to kill him, but the surgery was necessary in saving your life.”
“You’re fucking nuts.”
I grin. “Agreed. You drive me insane.” I reach for the shampoo and squirt some into my palm. “Wet your hair.”
After rolling her eyes, she does what I ask. I work the soap into her hair, massaging her scalp and temples. She groans softly. The sound vibrates along her skin and through my fingertips. My cock juts forward, resting against her lower back.
“You might as well get used tothat,” she mumbles, wiggling her ass against my dick. “No strenuous activity.”
I refrain from spanking her and repeat the process with the conditioner. Her shoulders droop, her body no longer rigid. I wash it thoroughly while cursing myself the entire time for thinking I could get through this ordeal without losing my shit.
As quick as I can, I rinse her off and wrap her in a towel. Hiding her naked skin is the best I can do, but it doesn’t stop me from wanting her.
I’m going to fuck myself tonight for sure.
