He gives a bashful grin and then slowly makes his way to the bathroom connected to his room. As soon as he’s gone, I pat Seb’s arm.

“Thanks, buddy.”

He shrugs and rolls his eyes. “Don’t worry about it. I wasn’t lying when I said this place stinks. Dunno how you think you’re going to take him out for a date or whatever when he can barely get to the bathroom.”

“I’m not taking him on adate,”I exclaim. I’ve literally never been on a date in my life, and the idea of going on one fills me with pure panic. “I just thought it would be a good idea to get him out of this place for a bit, that’s all.”

That causes Seb to roll his eyes at me again. Poor kid’s going to sprain them if he’s not careful. “Yeah, well. Felix and our father don’t want people to see the mighty Fabian Nightshade stumbling around like he can barely stay upright.”

I freeze.“That’sthe reason he’s not left the building in weeks?”

“One of them. You’ve met Felix, right? The guy’s a real asshole, only cares about how things look. Fabian’s his scariest weapon, so he can’t have him looking weak. Ever.” Seb rubs his forehead in a gesture that’s far too old for his age. “I remember when I was a kid, and he got the flu, all they cared about was that no one knew. Like him getting sick was too much of a weakness.”

A sudden surge of anger burns through my veins, settling in my gut. I’ve known for a long time what kind of guy Felix Hawkshead is to outsiders. But I thought he might at least have some loyalty to his own people. I mean, part of the reason I’m here at all is because that fuck threatened to out my secrets. I thought he at least gave a single fuck about Fabian’s wellbeing, but apparently, I was mistaken.

I’m about to ask more when there’s a clattering sound from the bathroom, followed by a heavy thud. I’m on my feet and opening the door before my brain can catch up with what my body is doing.

The room is full of steam, so it takes me a moment to get my bearings and to spot Fabian, hunched over slightly as the water cascades over his bare skin.

Yeah, he’s naked.

Obviously. He’s in the damn shower.

He’s also clinging to the damn wall like it’s the only thing holding him upright at this moment. I spring forward, kicking off my shoes and socks until I’m inside the shower. I grab his elbow, getting pelted with shower water in the process until I’m soaked.

“Silver? What are you... what—”

“Shush,” I tell him. “I’m not going to ogle you.” Not on purpose, anyway. “Just... let me take care of you for two minutes, okay?”

My mind instantly goes tootherways I could take care of him, with me down on my knees in this shower. But I bat those wayward thoughts away. I might find Fabian hot as hell and would love nothing more than to show him exactly how much, but now is really not the time.

All my protective, caretaking instincts are taking over, and I want nothing more right now than to make him feel good.

“Please, Fabian?”

“Fuck.” He tilts his head up to the ceiling, like my presence is paining him. “I don’t think I could ever say no to you when you ask so damn nicely.”

I give him a dirty grin. “Good to know. Right, now sit down and let me wash your hair.”

There’s a seat jutting out from the shower wall. I guess for this exact purpose, considering it’s a med bay bathroom. With Fabian sitting down, I begin to slowly and methodically shampoo and rinse his hair, massaging his scalp with firm movements. I wash it twice thoroughly before moving on to conditioning, ignoring the little groans of pleasure he lets out every so often. I also have to ignore the pulse in my pussy and the wet heat, that’s got nothing to do with the shower and a lot to do with Fabian giving himself over to me entirely. Especially when he keeps moaning my name, like I’m massaging his cock instead of his scalp.

“Shit, Silver. Your hands are magical.”

I really, really hope Seb has gone back to his own room. Otherwise, he’s going to be thinking we’re up to a lot more than we are in reality.

“Are you okay to stand, big guy?” I ask softly. “I’ll help you wash up the rest of you now.”

He stands slowly and opens his eyes, staring down at me with such intensity it makes my breath catch. I must look an absolute state. My clothes are sticking to me like a second skin and my hair is plastered all over my face.

But Fabian’s looking at me like I’m something marvelous.

“Silver,” he whispers my name, and I can’t help the shiver that runs through me from head to toe. “I... I need to taste you, Silver. Can I kiss you?”

I almost put my neck out with the speed of my nod. “Yes—”

Fabian’s just as eager as I am. Before I’ve even finished the word, his mouth is on mine. It’s a hot, devouring, almost desperate kiss. He kisses me with fervor and sucks my bottom lip into his mouth, letting out the most delicious groan that has my pussy clenching on nothing. His tongue then licks at the seam of my mouth and I open for him. He deepens the kiss, his tongue twining with mine, filling my mouth with the taste of him as he practically fucks my mouth.

It’s my turn to let out a helpless moan, growing breathless with the sheer level of sensation as I feel his hard cock pressing up against my upper belly. He’s so hard it must be painful.
