By the time we made it back to the cabin, it had turned dark. All of us were tired and in need of nourishment. Thankfully, we had arrived just in time for dinner. Once again, the meal that Agnes had prepared for us was amazing. My stomach had never had been so full and when she offered dessert, there was no way that I could have eaten another bite.
I volunteered to help with the dishes while the men went to the sitting room for an after-dinner drink. Aiko wasn’t feeling well and went on to bed. She hadn’t eaten much for dinner and I could tell that it may have been the company that caused her lack of appetite. Ever since Xavier got out of the hospital, she had been very distant. Drying the last dish, it was time for a nice long shower. I felt sticky and cruddy with all the work I had done at the warehouse. The men were still in the sitting room as I passed it in order to get to the stairs.
Stopping at the doorway, I looked at both of them and said, “I’m beat. I’m going to take a shower and head on to bed.”
Placing his tumbler on the coffee table, Xavier walked over to me and kissed me lightly on the forehead and whispered, “I’ll be there to wash your back.”
I couldn’t help but smile. My shower would have to be extended so he could do just that. As I headed up the stairs, I decided to check on Aiko to see if she needed anything before I took my shower. Knocking lightly on her door, I waited for her to say, “Come in,” but there was only silence. Thinking that she might have already fallen asleep, I headed down the hall to my room.
Once inside, I began removing my clothes, making sure to drop them down the laundry chute to be washed. Already I was feeling better having the dirty clothes off my body. Reaching inside the shower, I turned the handle and waited for the water to get hot. As I waited, I knew that this was going to be a night of all nights and wanted to put on something special for Xavier after my shower. Picking a white nightgown with a plunging back, I took it to the bathroom and laid it on the vanity before entering the shower.
Standing under the spray of water, I was beginning to feel like myself. Placing a small amount of shampoo in my hand, I began lathering it in my hair when I heard the shower door open. Clasping his hands over mine, Xavier took control and began washing my hair. This had been a first for me, but as of right now it would not be the last. The way he worked in the shampoo made my head feel amazing. Even though my eyes were closed, I managed to find his lips when I turned to face him. Letting the water wash away the suds from my hair, our connection deepened. The kiss had been a long time coming and I took in every ounce of him.
It didn’t take long before we were at each other like two people addicted to one another. Pressing my body against the hard tile, not even the shock of its coldness could keep me away from him. Every inch of my body was heated and all I wanted was to feel him. Keeping his mouth to mine, he gently cupped my breasts, one in each hand, and gently caressed them between his fingers. I could feel my body come alive as the tips of my nipples began to harden. Tweaking and pinching them between his fingers, he lowered his mouth down my neck, placing wet, tender kisses along the curve of my throat. My head fell back against the tile, wanting nothing more than to open myself to him.
With ease, he lifted me from the floor and held my body securely against the tile. Keeping one hand on my butt and the other against the wall, I could feel the strength of his cock push against my sex. All I wanted was to feel him deep inside me, taking me to the one place that only he could.
Balancing my body by placing my hands on his shoulders, I brought my body higher on his hips, giving him the access that he needed. Circling my hands around his neck, I lowered my head and whispered eagerly, “Take me, Xavier.”
I didn’t have to ask twice. The power of his erection pushed inside me, making my breath hitch from the welcoming pressure that filled my channel. Xavier’s movement stopped, and his eyes met mine, “Did I hurt you?”
Turning my head back and forth, I let him know without words that he was free to continue. Beginning where he had left off, he slowed his movements, teasing only the entrance to my channel. Trying as best I could, I lowered my hips, hoping that he would easily slide inside. My attempt was stopped as he held me in place and whispered, “Let me do this. I want complete control of your body.”
Forcing myself to stop moving, I allowed him to take control. With each painfully slow move that he was making against my entrance, gliding his shaft between my folds to the tip of my clit, my body was yelling for more. Even though I had learned long ago how to control my desires, this was the one time my willpower had failed.
Before he could make his way back deep inside me, the gates opened, and my juices spilled. There was so much wetness between us that when he offered himself, he was able to move easily inside me, thrust to thrust, deeper and deeper to the heart of my essence. As he quickened his movements, once again, my willpower failed, and my release exploded, sending my body down with an earth-shattering orgasm.
When his body began to jerk, I knew that his willpower also gave out. Lowering his hand from the tile wall, he held me close with both hands as he said, “I guess you’re ready for your back to be washed.” Little did I know what he actually meant.

It was the most gorgeous morning ever and all I wanted to do was spend it here next to Xavier. It didn’t matter that it had been raining like crazy. Nothing could have put a damper on this beautiful morning, not even the rain, at least, that was, until my head began spinning and I could feel the onset of something beyond this world take residence in my stomach. Rushing to the bathroom, I barely had enough time to lower my body to the floor before spilling all of the contents of food I ingested into the toilet. I couldn’t remember the last time I had felt so shitty. After spilling everything I had left in my stomach, I managed to make it to the sink to splash some water on my face. As I looked in the mirror, I realized maybe Aiko not feeling well was more than what I thought. There had to have been a flu bug going around and we were the lucky ones who caught it.
When Xavier appeared in the doorway, he knew that something was up. I looked like death warmed over and felt just as bad as I looked. Stepping behind me, he placed his arms around my waist and said, “You don’t look so well.”
“That’s an understatement,” I responded. “I feel like shit.”
Falling back into bed, all I wanted to do was curl up in a ball and will myself to feel better as Xavier pulled the covers over me. As much as I wanted him to stay next to me, I didn’t want him to get sick too. Blowing me a kiss, he headed downstairs to see if Agnes knew of any remedies that would fight off the flu quickly.
When Xavier came back to the room, he brought with him a tray that had soda crackers and what appeared to be ginger ale. I really didn’t feel like eating, but if it would make me feel better I was willing to try anything. Pushing myself to a sitting position, I fluffed my pillow and placed it behind my back. Keeping my eye on Xavier, he had a sad look on his face which told me he felt bad about how I felt.
Placing the tray across my lap, he poured some of the ginger ale in a glass and handed it to me. Directing me to take slow, even sips, he said, “Agnes said that this should help.”
Smiling back at him, I replied, “Leave it to Agnes to know.”
I had to admit that the ginger ale and the crackers were making me feel much better. Not good enough to eat a 6-ounce steak, but well enough to get out of bed and to the shower. Even though it was still raining, I really didn’t want to spend the whole day in bed.
It was amazing how much a hot shower made me feel better. My stomach wasn’t churning, and I was actually beginning to have somewhat of an appetite. Xavier had stayed by my side, even though my father had requested that he ride along to the warehouse with him. I think it was much more than just staying with me. I was pretty sure that he didn’t want to leave me alone knowing that Mr. Colin and Mr. Sakai were still free. I really couldn’t blame him, and I may have been a little selfish, but only because I didn’t want him to leave.
