HAEDEN

Jo-see looks up at me with big, wary eyes. “If…if I say stop, we’ll stop, right?”

I nod, because I do not trust my own voice. To think, she is going to let me bathe her — it feels like the greatest gift I have ever been given. “Always.”

She nods. “I would like to be clean,” she says in a faint voice, but the bright color on her cheeks tells me it is not the only thing she likes. I can smell her arousal, and her khui is humming in time with mine.

I feel a surge of triumph. She is yielding to me. Bit by bit, Jo-see is seeing that I can be a good mate to her. I want to shout my pleasure at the thought, but I force myself to only give a brief nod. Everything will be as she asks. I will push for no more than she will give me.

“Do you have extra soapberries?” she prompts, pulling me from my racing thoughts.

I nod and touch her cheek one more time, then move to the fire. I stoke it high. I want the water to be warm and pleasant for my mate. I quickly fill my stew pouch with fresh snow and add a few soapberries to it. “It will take some time for the water to heat.” Perhaps during that time my lust will cool long enough that my cock will not ache as I touch her. The idea is…not likely, though.

“Okay,” she says in a soft voice, and then moves to the opposite side of the fire.

We’re silent as we wait on the water. She hums a small song under her breath, as she so often does, but I am quiet. My thoughts are focused entirely on the concept of bathing her. I have bathed others in my tribe, washed the backs of many, scrubbed a friend that was injured. It should mean nothing. Instead, I cannot stop thinking about it. It is just a bath, but this is Jo-see.

My Jo-see.

And I worry I will come in my breechcloth again.

A breeze rips through the shelter, bringing with it fresh snow and cold air. The fire flickers and Jo-see lifts her hands as if to rub her arms, and then stops. Her gaze meets mine and she flushes again, her cheeks wonderfully pink. And for some reason, I feel like smiling.

I get to my feet, ignoring my erection. I cannot hide it, just like I cannot hide the song my khui hums. I dip my fingers in the water. It is warm enough. “Come,” I tell her. “Let us take your clothing off.”

And my groin tightens in anticipation.

She makes a little squeak of nervous sound but gets to her feet. Her eyes are wide as she moves slowly toward me.

I get to my feet and when she comes to stand before me, it takes everything I have not to crush her against my chest. I want to hold her, to feel her warm skin against mine. I want to protect her from the world.
