When Newt glanced back over and saw me sitting there still half-clothed, he immediately guessed the problem.

“Stand up. I’ll do it.”

Taking hold of my crutch, I hoisted myself back onto my feet. “I get it. This whole thing is just a ploy to see me naked.” I flashed him a grin.

With surprisingly deft fingers, Newt undid my pants. They fell to the floor along with my boxers, leaving my body on full display. I wasn’t normally self-conscious. I worked out a lot and it showed. However, no amount of muscle could compensate for the battered state the car crash had left me in. Large dark bruises marred my skin, and angry wounds were stitched together with black thread.

I expected Newt to pull back. Surely, even a nurse would find such a sight ugly. Yet surprisingly, his blue eyes sparkled with heat when he looked up at me through long lashes.

“It’s been a hard week. I deserve to get something fun out of all this.”

Yes, I was definitely liking this bossy side of Newt, and despite my injuries, my cock twitched with interest.

However, Newt seemed to have reached the end of his confidence. He looked away, blushing deeply, as if even he couldn’t believe what he’d just said.

“Let’s, um... let’s get you in the tub.”

I gripped the edge of the tub, preparing for the struggle of climbing in, when an idea occurred to me. Smirking, I looked over my shoulder at Newt.

“You know, trying to take a bath with my leg propped up on the edge is going to be difficult. It would be easier if you joined me.”

Just in case my intention wasn’t clear, I let my gaze drag up and down Newt’s body. The other man wasn’t the only one who deserved a reward after such a disastrous week.

Newt’s hands clutched the front of his shirt and his blush burned so brightly I feared his face would catch fire.

“You mean, get in the bath with you?”

Rather than reply with words, I merely raised an eyebrow and nodded at the tub.

Steam gathered in the bathroom as Newt considered what to do, biting his lip as if chewing his thoughts. Then, nodding to himself, he quickly pulled off his shirt and let it fall to the floor.

Just as I’d imagined, his blush did travel over his chest. It turned his pale skin a rosy pink all the way from his collarbone to his nipples. To my even greater delight, more freckles decorated his shoulders just like they did his cheeks. I wanted to count them with my lips, kissing each one until I’d cataloged every spot.

Newt stood in the middle of the bathroom with his arms wrapped around his stomach. He was obviously self-conscious, and that couldn’t be allowed to continue.

I pulled him into my arms, keeping one hand braced against the wall to avoid leaning all my weight on him, and buried my face in his hair.

“Almost makes crashing off a bridge worth it if this is my reward.”

One of Newt’s hands slapped against my chest, barely making contact, before he wrapped both arms around my waist. “Don’t joke about that.”

I slid my hand down his back, inching it toward the waistband of his pants.

“Fine. No jokes. We can just focus on this instead.”

At the word “this” I slipped my hand inside his pants and squeezed his ass.

Newt squealed and jumped, nearly knocking us both over.

I grabbed onto the sink for balance and luckily managed to stay upright.

“Are you trying to give me a heart attack,” he yelled, slapping me again. This time he almost hit me for real.

Unconcerned, I tugged at the front of his pants. “No, I’m trying to get you naked. You got to see all of me. It’s only polite to return the favor.”

His arms crossed over his chest, hiding his cute pink nipples from my sight. “You’re ridiculous.”

I tugged at his pants again. “I’m also insistent. Come on.”
