Forest lifts his right hand to my face, and placing a finger beneath my chin, he nudges me to look at him. “I love all of you. Take off your clothes, Aria.”

I swallow nervously but undress. When I kick my pants to the side, I reach into the shower and turn on the water. Highly aware that Forest is staring at me, I begin to ramble, “You should stand with your left side away from the spray. We can’t get your cast wet.”

When I take a step closer to the shower, Forest takes hold of my arm. “Look at me.”

I hesitate for a moment but swallowing my anxiety back, I glance up at him.

He shakes his head. “Look at what the sight of your body does to me.”

My gaze drops to his pelvis, and seeing that he’s hard makes the same intense sensation from when we made love ripple through my abdomen.

Forest steps closer to me until our bodies touch, and I can feel his cock pressing against my stomach. His eyes drift over my face, and I can see his love for me clearly shining in his eyes.

Lifting his right hand, he brushes his knuckles over the side of my breast. “You bring out every emotion in me. I want to tuck you inside my heart, where I can always keep you safe. I want to love you until there’s no doubt in your mind about my feelings for you.”

I jut out my bottom lip as I begin to swoon for this man in front of me.

He cups my cheek. “Aria…” he pauses for a moment, and it makes my name sound like an answered prayer, “I want to worship your body until you believe me when I say you’re the sexiest and most beautiful being in the universe.”

Pushing up on my toes, I press my mouth to Forest’s. His lips part for me, and I get to taste him again as my tongue brushes over his.

It feels like years have passed since I got to kiss him like this.

Chapter 26

FOREST

Aria pulls me into the shower, and I watch as she squirts some body wash on a loofah. She works it into a lather and then starts washing my right shoulder. There’s a look of wonder on her face as her hand moves over my body.

“I could get used to this,” I say, a grin on my face.

“Yeah?” She gives me a mischievous look. “At least, for the next six weeks, I’ll take good care of my man.”

“Yeah? Your man?” I lift an eyebrow and watch as surprise ripples over her face as she realizes what she just said.

Then she nods. “Yes.” Our eyes meet. “You’re mine.”

I lift my right hand to her face and brush my knuckles from her temple to her chin. “I’ve always been yours.”

With my body still in recovery mode, we can’t have sex, which is pretty frustrating right now. It doesn’t stop my cock from standing up and paying attention to the breathtaking sight of Aria’s breasts and pussy on full display. It’s the longest I’ve been able to look at her body.

“Fuck, my ribs better heal at the speed of light,” I grumble.

“They’ll be healed in six weeks,” Aria reminds me as she moves down my legs with the loofah.

“Yeah, but I’m not going to last six weeks without fucking you,” I complain.

Aria glances up at me and seeing her face so close to my cock, sure as fuck isn’t helping.

“We’ll figure something out once you’re better. Let’s just give your body a week to heal, at least,” Aria replies as she climbs back to her feet. “I can be on top, and you don’t have to move a muscle.” She scrunches her nose. “Well, maybe one muscle.”

“I really like the sound of that.” I lean back against the tiles and watch as she washes herself. There are bruises scattered over her skin, serving as a reminder of what we lived through.

The moment feels intimate, as if we’ve finally made the final part of our journey from friends to lovers.

When Aria turns off the water, she first pats me dry then wipes the drops from her body. She’s so attentive to my needs – it makes me feel loved in a way I’ve never experienced before. I can’t take my eyes away from her.

After we’re dressed, Aria pulls me to the bed and waits for me to lie down. “I’m going to get your pain meds and a cold compress.”

She darts out of the room and returns seconds later. I take the pain pills and swallow them down with some water, and then she presses the cold compress to my ribs. “Can you hold it for a moment? I want to turn off the lights.”

I place my hand over the ice pack until Aria crawls into bed on my right side, and she places her hand over mine. “I’ve got it.”
