I sat on the couch, checking the time every few minutes while I waited for Kirk to get back. I turned on the TV trying to drown out my own brain, but after Gabe’s threat I didn’t dare step in the shower where I wouldn’t be able to hear if anyone came in.

Gabe was upstairs with the rest of them, so I reasoned he wouldn’t be coming down to get me.

But, reason doesn’t always win in a completely unreasonable situation.

Around one in the morning, I heard the deadbolt snap, and I shot up from the couch, looking for something to grab.

“Easy, Silver.” Kirk slid in and locked the door behind him. “I thought you’d be asleep.”

“Oh, sure after today, I’m going to sleep like a baby. Besides, I thought I’d have to let you in.”

“I told you to go to bed. I picked up a spare key from security. You haven’t even showered.”

I looked down at my clothes. It was lucky only he knew that I hadn’t listened.

“Did Gabe do anything?”

I shook my head. “Do, no. He said he’d have me though.”

“What?”

“Don’t worry,” I mocked Gabe’s voice, “I’ll have you yet, Princess.”

“Princess?”

I rolled my eyes.

“Time for a shower.” Kirk wrapped an arm around my back and lifted me off the floor. He winced with the motion but didn’t let me go until we reached the shower.

“You going to wash my hair?” I teased as we stripped, waiting for the water to warm.

“Don’t press your luck,” he said, picking me up again and dropping me in the still cool stream.

I squealed and moved to the back of the tub. “If you didn’t look like an invalid….”

“You’re really asking for it tonight, aren’t you?” He stepped in the front of the shower and I charted the injuries, the largest bruise was on his left side, paired with a smaller one near the bottom of his ribs on the right. There was another just above his left hip, the outside of his right thigh.

I was afraid he’d turn around and I’d see even more.

“I’m still walking and breathing, Silver. I haven’t left you to the wolves yet.”

I leaned against the wall, sleep threatening to claim me right there in the shower. Apparently now that he was back, my body no longer felt the need to stay on high alert. Kirk pulled me against him and lathered up my back.

“Why do you care what happens to me?” I whispered into his chest.

He didn’t stop his movements, and I wondered if he even heard me. I pulled away, even though my body felt weary and no longer willing to stand under its own volition.

“Why?” I asked again. “Why did you save me? Why do you hold me when I’m freaking out or hurting? Why do you let me get away with running my mouth to you?”

“Because I want you.”

“As a slave.”

“Yes,” he pressed me into the wall but didn’t take his motions any further. “As my slave. The other girls aren’t like you, Silver. If they fight, it’s for a very different reason.
