Blaze was about to use the attached bathroom in Daire’s room when I grabbed his arm and pulled him into the main bathroom with me. He quirked a brow as I stripped off the rest of my clothes. My hoodie had taken the worst of the splatter.

“Are you sure you want to share? I’m a bit of a shower hog.” His teasing grin sent a warm tingle through me.

“I’ll wrestle you for it.” Giving him a playful push, I turned on the water, adjusting it to a comfortable temperature.

Blaze grabbed me from behind, pressing his naked body to mine. “Sounds good to me.”

I glanced down at his hands where they curved over my stomach. Picking up the one with the missing finger, I kissed the scar left behind. He hugged me a bit tighter then.

We got into the shower, and I watched as the blood on my face and hair ran down the drain. Pieces of Derek now long gone. It had been so easy for Daire to end him. So fast.

The sudden need to wash myself clean of him struck. Grabbing the shampoo bottle, I squeezed out a thick dollop and massaged it into my hair, creating a thick lather. I stepped out of the water stream, letting Blaze have it.

He studied me as he got himself wet. “Are you okay, Clover? You’ve got this haunted look in your eyes.”

“Yeah, I’m fine.” Gnawing my bottom lip, I opted for the truth instead. “Fuck it. I’m not fine at all. I’m not sure if I ever will be. It’s just hard right now.”

“I know. I’m sorry. I wish there was something I could do.” Blaze traded me places, letting me rinse out my shampoo.

“You’re doing enough by being here. By caring.” Once the suds were rinsed away, I worked in some conditioner. “It’s going to take some time I guess. To heal. To move on.”

“Did tonight help at all?” He quirked his head to one side like an adorable puppy.

I piled my conditioner coated hair on top of my head to let it soak in really well and reached for the bodywash. “Actually, it did. It’s like some of the load I’ve been carrying has lightened.”

Blaze plucked the wash puff from my hand and began to rub it over my body, starting with my breasts. “You need Brady dead to feel free though. Am I right?”

His gentle touch felt amazing. There hadn’t been much intimacy with any of the guys since I’d been back. They seemed wary of pushing me too soon. Not that they’d ever cared before. They’d shown me another side to themselves, one I’d have never believed existed when they’d first claimed me. They truly cared.

“Yeah, you’re right.” I nodded, sucking in a breath when he slid a soapy hand over my hip. “I keep expecting to feel like a bad person but I don’t. Then I feel bad about that.”

A soft smile lit up Blaze’s face. “You’re not even close to being a bad person, babe. Wanting vengeance doesn’t change who you are inside. You have every right to take back your powerin whatever way feels best to you. Brady has taken enough from you.”

That kind of made sense. Feeling bad would only give Brady more power over me. I was done with that crap.

“Do you think we’ll find him?” Taking the bath buff from Blaze, I got my hand good and soapy before sliding it over his semi-hard length. Within seconds it was undeniably hard and ready.

Blaze let his head fall back against the shower wall as he moaned softly. “Fuck yeah, we will. That asshole is not getting away. We’ll find him, Rainbow, and you’ll kill him.”

Me? Kill Brady? Would I be able to do that?

Hell yeah, I would. Part of me desperately wanted to watch him beg and bleed before finishing him off.

Needing to feel powerful and in control, I fisted Blaze’s cock, pumping up and down. He moaned and reached for me, pulling me in for a kiss. His mouth was all over mine, hungrily nibbling my lips and tongue. I placed a hand on his chest, holding him against the shower wall.

He seemed to know that I needed the control right now. Surprisingly, he was happy to give it up. I worked his cock, my hand moving faster. Grabbing a handful of my conditioner covered hair, Blaze forced my head back, licking and biting my neck.

The sound of his moans and sighs drove me. I needed to make him come. I hungered for it. Only when he came in rivulets that covered my hand did I ease off. Satisfying as hell.

After rinsing off my hand, I stepped under the spray and rinsed my hair and body. Blaze watched me with heavy lidded amber eyes. Without a word, he dropped to his knees before me. Ignoring the spray of water that cascaded down upon him, he buried his face between my thighs.

I let out a little squeak as he tongued my clit. Holding tight to my hips, Blaze vigorously ate my pussy. The sudden onslaught of sensation made me crazy. In a good way.

My hand slapped against the shower wall in an effort to hold myself up. His demanding touch made my knees weak. His tongue thrust inside me, delving deep. My hips bucked as I sought more of him.

Sucking my clit into his mouth, Blaze slapped my wet ass, making my body jerk. I moaned, fisting his wet hair. He glanced up at me with a knowing grin before finishing what he started.

My orgasm hit fast and hard, like every piece of me ached for that release. My cry echoed in the bathroom, bouncing off the walls. The steamy air made it hard to breathe, but I didn’t care. I’d needed that. I needed more.
