Zane peeled off the rest of Tara’s clothing – her black clothing – and at her nod, dumped them in the kitchen trash. He near-gasped at the sight of her rail-thin body, every rib showing, every bruise on her white skin increasing his concern at her frailty.

He shed his own clothing right into the washing machine. Naked, he picked up Tara and carried her into the master bath. He stood with her in the shower, supporting her weight against his body as the hot water cascaded down. He was careful not to let the spray hit her face, especially the ridged, rippled scar that marred her former rodeo-queen-perfect beauty.

He soaped up a sea sponge and washed her body as she leaned into him, astounded at the visible knobs of her spine and her sharp collarbones and shoulder blades. He shampooed and conditioned her tangled long blonde hair and took inventory of her cuts and bruises, her purple, twisted ankle. When they were both clean, he carried her from the shower to the heart-shaped red tub and gently laid her in the rising water.

“Too hot?” he asked.

“No, it’s perfect. I was really cold when you found me. Despite the dogs. By the way, where are Ty and Fly?”

“In the barn in the remodeled tack room. I’ve got a heater going and they have a doggie door if they want to go out.”

“Wow, you thought of everything.” She smiled as he opened the bathroom cabinet and pawed through an array of Bath and Body Works products.

“Where did you get all this?”

“Internet. We have an air card now. It’s a whole new world for me…I like bubble baths in this tub. Don’t spread that around.”

She giggled and sank down further into the tub. He squeezed some bubble bath into the tub but didn’t get in himself. He wrapped a robe around himself and made to leave the bathroom.

“Don’t go,” she said. “Come in with me.”

He chuckled. “You sure are in a hurry to get me inside of you.”

Tara blushed.

“Patience, darlin’. I’m going to fix some supper. And then I’m gonna make love to you until the sun comes up. I’m going to kiss every soft place, every one. So you just take your time in there in the tub and rest a bit. Enjoy the moments.”

As he stepped away, she said, “I missed you so much, Zane.”

“Likewise, princess.”

He left the bathroom.

Tara almost dozed in the tub as she heard expert chopping in the kitchen and then something crackling. Then she smelled toast and bacon and coffee and was suddenly ravenous and wide awake.
