He smiles.Thank God, he’s smiling.
“It takes more than that to crush me, Doctor.”
He opens his eyes and turns, making me slide to the side.He leans in, his breath warm on my lips as he kisses me, stealing my last, shaky breaths.
“Are you okay, Doctor?”
“Very well,” I answer with a smile.“And you?Are you feeling any better?”
His eyes blur for a second.Maybe I asked the wrong question.It slipped out before I could stop it, and now I can’t take it back.Panic surges through me.His silence feels suffocating; his dull gaze strips away the last of my hope.
Then his eyes clear, wide and bright, reflecting calm seas and endless skies.They don’t look the same anymore.Something in them has changed.
“I do now,” he says on a breath.“Can I stay the night?”
I tremble — at the sweetness of his voice, at the weight of his words, at how fiercely my heart swells in an instant.
“You can stay as long as you want.”

Iopen the cabin door, step inside, and let the water run over me.
“What the hell…?”The Doctor jumps up.
“Did I scare you?”
“Hell yes!”
“Who were you expecting?”
“No one!I don’t usually have company in the shower.”
“It didn’t bother you in your bed, though.”
“I didn’t say it bothers me.I just didn’t expect it.”
“I heard the water running and decided to take advantage.I need it too.”
“You could have waited your turn.”
“Why?Don’t you like having me in your shower?”
“It’s not that big, and you take up all the space.”
“If we squeeze in, we’ll both fit,” I say, pressing closer to him.
“Yes, if you want to suffocate me.”
“So dramatic.I can help, you know.”
He looks at me, one eyebrow raised as he steps back slightly.
“You’ve still got some foam here,” I say, threading my fingers through his hair as I guide him under the shower jet.Water slides over his face and body, his lips half-open, his cock already hard, stretched towards me.My hand immediately slides down.
“Fuck,” he says, pressing himself against the tiles.
