“No matter what shape your body is in, those feelings never fade,” I teased. “Will you give me an orgasm every time you give me a shower?”
“I’ll give you one right now if you keep talking like that,” he murmured, leaning down to lick my lips. A moan escaped me as his hand slipped under the sheet, igniting a fire I could hardly control.
Just then, the nurse interjected, “Am I interrupting you two?”
Lyon chuckled. “Yes, but we’ll set our feelings aside for now. We have plenty of time when we get home.”
I wanted to see if Niki wanted to try getting up and showering. I’ll wrap your arms so they don’t get wet. There is a chair for you to sit on, so you won’t have to stand for a long period.”
“I would love to shower if you wrap my arms. Lyon can help me shower.” The nurse chuckled as she walked out to get the wrap. I looked at Lyon. “I get to feel you touching me quicker than I thought. Do you think they heard us talking?”
He grinned. “I’m not sure, but I’m thankful if they did.”

My hands shookas I helped Niki walk to the shower, my touch gentle despite the tremor in my fingers. I carefully undressed her, then removed all my clothes except my boxers. I started the shower and guided her to the chair, making sure the water never touched her injured arms. “I’m going to wash your hair first,” I murmured softly.
As I worked, I felt a stirring desire mixed with the lingering tension of pain. When I nearly finished, I asked, “Can you stand?” Not realizing I had been kissing her neck and that she had already risen on her own—she must have stood by instinct.
I soaped her body slowly, and as my hands moved between her thighs, she moaned softly and pressed closer. My middle finger traced a delicate path through the heat of her skin while my thumb expertly caressed her clit, coaxing a cascade of pleasure. Her breath hitched, and she cried out, “That feels so good—don’t stop, I want more.”
I gently helped her settle into the chair before kneeling beside her. My tongue set to work, lavishing attention on her sensitive spot as my thumb continued its tender exploration.The intensity built until she climaxed repeatedly, her body trembling with each release.
Afterward, I carefully dried both of us and helped dress her, then changed myself—discarding my boxers without hesitation. All the while, Niki watched me intently. “When my mouth heals,” she whispered with a playful glint, “I’m going to return the favor and take you in my mouth, giving you as much pleasure as you’ve given me.”
I picked her up in my arms and carried her back to bed, planting gentle kisses along her skin as I laid her down. I settled in to read while she dozed, until her family eventually entered the room.
“Hello, I’m glad you’re here,” I greeted them. “I have to leave for a few days, but when Niki is discharged from the hospital, she’s coming home with me. I’ll take care of her. Now, does anyone have anything to say?”
Raeann responded quietly, “I don’t.” Then she turned to Nick: “Do you have anything to say, Nick?”
Nick added, “I’m sure Niki will be in good hands.” I heard Niki chuckle softly. I rose to leave and gently kissed her goodbye, but she stopped me. “How is Cyclone?” she asked, her voice tinged with worry.
“He’s still unconscious. The doctor said they’re not sure why he hasn’t woken up yet,” I replied. Niki whispered, “I pray he wakes up soon.”
I stepped closer and kissed her again. “I’ll be back in a few days,” I promised.
“Okay. Stay safe,” she murmured.
I paused at the door. Turning back, I heard her say, “Thank you for helping me shower.” I chuckled, returning to the bed. “You’re welcome,” I said, kissing her once more. As I neared the exit, I heard her soft whisper: “I love you.”
I stopped and noticed Nick and Raeann watching us. “Could you give us a moment, please?” I asked. They stepped away, and I returned to Niki. Helping her sit up, I saw a tear roll down her cheek. Gently, I cradled her face in my hands.
“Sweetheart, I love you more than anything in this world. I will never love another woman as long as I live. You are my life, and I promise to return to you,” I vowed, kissing away her tears. “Even if I’m late getting home, I’ll always return to you.”
Niki nodded, and I left. Outside, Raeann—wiping her eyes—whispered, “You are so lucky to have Niki’s love, and she’s lucky to have yours.” she replied softly.
“I know, and thank you. I’ll make sure someone stays with her. It’s better if she isn’t alone at night.” I said.
“We’ll stay with her,” Raeann promised.
This wasn’t an easy time to part. My lady had confessed her love, and I longed to ease all her pain. I smiled, marveling at how lucky I was to have her love. Two hours later, I was still smiling as I entered our local hospital.
“Why are you smiling?” River asked.
“Niki loves me, and I love her,” I replied.
