He cracked a smile. “Don’t worry. I won’t look at anything I’ve already seen, licked, or fucked.”

“Rev!”

His soft laughter vibrated his chest as he helped me from bed, carefully moving us across the floor since his shoulder was bandaged and he only had one good arm to maneuver us. “There. Got you to the toilet. I’ll turn my back.”

I dropped my underwear since someone had left me in only a shirt and panties. Once I was ready, I stood on shaky legs and held onto the counter. “Uh, Rev.”

He spun around, his rugged features showing concern. “Yeah?”

I had to focus on breathing because this was too much. My body didn’t like moving around. “Room is spinning.”

“Aw, baby, I got you.” He carefully pulled my underwear up and then wrapped an arm around my waist, holding me close as we made our way back to the bed.

If not for the sweat on his brow, I would have thought it didn’t affect him. Then I noticed the fresh blood soaking into his shirt. “You’re bleeding.”

“Yeah. That’s been happening since I got shot,” he joked.

“Not funny.”

“It’s a little funny,” he contradicted. “Come on. Let’s get those feet up, and you tucked in.”

Once I was settled, he returned to the chair, tugging it closer.

Rev sat and lifted his feet, propping them up beside my legs. “Wanna watch a movie?”

Why not? There wasn’t much else any of us could do right now. “Action adventure?”

“That’s my girl.”

I fell asleep somewhere during the third Iron Man movie.

“YOU NEED A SHOWER,Blackbird. You’re all bloody.”

I turned off the TV and turned to Void. “That’s not very nice.”

“No, it’s not,” he agreed, “but it’s the truth. Want some help?”

“Well, I don’t think I can do much on my own.”

“How about I take the shower with you? I don’t have to get naked. Neither do you. This is just to get the blood and grime off.”

“Okay.” I agreed, because it really didn’t matter. He’d seen me naked and exposed the night I slept with Rev and Diesel. I was sure he saw me getting dressed and nude while I stepped in and out of the shower. Hell, he probably caught me playing with myself in bed multiple times using both my vibrator and my fingers.

Oh, damn. That was kind of hot.

“I’m wobbly,” I warned as he helped me to my feet.

“I know. I’ve got you.”

I heard all three of the guys say that exact phrase since we arrived at the safe house. Was it their way of calming me? Smoothing things over? Or just letting me know they were here, in case I needed them?

Maybe it was just a complicated mix of all of it.

After all that had happened, I wasn’t worried about being naked around Void or stepping into the shower with him. We wouldn’t be having sex, and I didn’t think that was his focus.

I slowly stripped off my clothes, leaning against the wall as he turned on the water and adjusted the temperature. Once it was hot and steam began to fill the room, he turned to me, watchingas I pulled off my bra. Left in only my underwear, I held out my hand.

Void took it, moving closer, but remaining far enough apart that we didn’t touch skin to skin. His mouth lowered, and he kissed the top before releasing it. Without hesitation, he stripped, then threaded our fingers before leading me into the shower. “You okay to remain on your feet?”
