He adjusted the water, then very slowly soaped up her sponge and cleaned her, starting at her legs.

He kissed her knee, as he glided the sponge up her calves and in between her thighs.

The tenderness and the care, the light teasing, made her melt even more.

“Thank you, Master.”

“You’re welcome.I have to look after my slave,” Zee brought the sponge up, under breasts, lifting them and then kissing her nipples gently, his soft teases making her shimmer with need but he drew the sponge along every part of her, her thoughts slowed down, drifted as the warmth of the water and his careful attentions lulled her almost to a meditative state.

After what felt like an eternity Zee brushed his lips along her jawline.

“Are you very clean, yet?”He arched an eyebrow, a smirk curving his lips.

“You made me better, and clean thank you.”

“That’s my job.We didn’t even get the sling wet.How is your pain?”

Her shoulder ached and exhaustion washed over her, making her yawn.

“It’s time for another pain killer.”

“I thought so, time to get out,” he helped her up off the bench, then outside of the shower, he held a towel for her.

“Oh!”And stupidly tears leaked down her cheeks.

Usually, she was the one doing this for him but she stepped into the towel and Zee slowly dried her off.

“There.I’ll get one of your strapless dresses to throw on while we talk to the girls,” Zee hung up the towel and held the bathroom door open for her.

“The shower helped but I’m so exhausted,” Ella followed Zee to their closet.

“We’ll the call quick.”

“I need to tell you something about Madison.”

“Here this should work,” Zee pulled a strapless sundress off the rack.

“Thank you.”

Zee gently slid the dress over her head, carefully smoothing it down and helping her to position her injured arm before he threw on a pair of shorts and an old t-shirt.

“Painkillers and I’ll make us tea,” he placed a palm on the small of her back, guiding he out of the closet.

“That’s my job.”

Zee wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

“Your job is to look after my property now that you went and broke it.”He smiled wryly and she couldn’t help but match his grin.

“Sorry, Sir.I was only trying to fix the light.”

“I’m giving James a piece of my mind.”

“It’s not his fault, he did call the electrician.”

“No but expect me to take it out on everyone over the next week.Your daily routines and protocols are suspended until you are one hundred percent better.”

“But Master!”Ella swallowed, but the seriousness in his gaze told her that she had no choice about this and his mind was made up.
