“She will be fine. I imagine the scare was worse than the injury. They are all superficial punctures and scrapes that should heal in a few days. Hot bath and a pain reliever with a sleep aid and she’ll feel much better in the morning.”

“Thank you, Doctor. There is a security guard just outside the door. He’ll escort you out.”

Forcing myself to smile, I said teasingly, “Well, you heard the doctor. Hot bath. Sex. Bed.”

“That is not what he said.”

I shook my head. “You’re tired and overwrought. You weren’t listening carefully.”

Giving her a kiss on the top of her head, I sternly admonished her to stay put until I had fixed a bath.

A few minutes later I carried her into the bathroom. The air was thick with steam and the scent of eucalyptus. Carefully removing my robe from her shoulders, I had to keep my fists from clenching at the sight of her beautiful skin marred by a hundred tiny pricks. Because they had hidden the pins within the seams of the bodice, the small wounds actually formed a macabre pattern of delicate swirls and loops, almost like a tribal tattoo.

“Do they hurt?” I whispered as my hand hovered over the top curve of her right breast, wanting but worried about touching her.

Elizabeth grasped my hand and put it over her breast. “No. Like the doctor said, it was more the fear of what was happening. Once I wash the blood away, you won’t even see most of them.”

Once I wash the blood away… a phrase I never wanted to hear my baby utter ever again.

Holding her by the forearm, I helped her step into the circular marble tub, which was now filled with silky bubbles and hot water.

Looking over her shoulder, she said, “You’re joining me, right?”

Already loosening my tie, I winked and replied, “Try to stop me.”

After pulling my unbuttoned shirt off my shoulders, I paused and watched her worriedly. Waiting for the moment the soapy water hit her skin. Praying it didn’t sting. When she leaned back with a throaty moan of contentment, I released the breath I didn’t realize I was holding and finished getting undressed.

Heading over to the double sinks, I opened one of the mahogany drawers in between and pulled out a few toys just in case my girl needed a distraction.

Setting them on the edge of the tub, I stepped in and took my place behind her, stretching out my long legs on either side of her slim hips. Pushing her damp curls aside, I kissed the top of her shoulder, then her neck, then her ear before whispering, “If I start up the Jacuzzi jets, do you promise to be a naughty girl and let them tease your cute pussy?”

She rubbed her hips against my already hard cock as I watched her nipples pebble. “Yes,” she moaned. “Please, make me forget today.”

Her innocent words sent a stab of pain through my chest.

Never again.

Never again would I let someone get near my baby.

No matter what it took.

Wrapping my arms around her, I cupped her breasts, giving her nipples a light pinch.

“I’ll be gentle, my love.”

Elizabeth groaned as she reached one soapy arm behind her to hook it around my neck. The movement crushed her breast against my palm. “Richard, the last thing I want from you right now is to be gentle.”

Damn, I loved this woman!

Reaching to the right, I pressed the button that started the Jacuzzi jets. Hooking my feet under her ankles, I spread her legs wide and shifted my hips, knowing it would position her cunt right in front of one of the jets.

“Oh! Oh! Oh, my!” exclaimed Elizabeth as her hips shimmied against my cock.

“Lift up your ass,” I growled.

Placing her hands on either side of my hips, she lifted her bottom.

Fisting my cock, I gave it a few pumps before positioning myself at her pussy entrance.
