Her jaw dropped, and Emmett knew he’d pushed too hard and way too soon. A Dom knew when and when not to check limits in a woman, and this was definitely not the time to push. “Amber, keeping you safe is my only goal. When I found you on the road, I wasn’t sure if you were dead or alive. Hell, even if we could get you to the hospital, they would be just as careful. Right?”

Amber lowered her eyes. “I’m sorry, Emmett. I’m not trying to be difficult. This is all so strange. I’ll be sure to lean on you when you put me down. Will that work for you?”

Again, his cock and balls applauded her submissive nature that was showing itself so deliciously with every tremble, every word, every sigh. “That will please me very much.”

He lowered her to the floor, and she did as promised, leaning into him. He bent down and sent his hand into the water. It was just the right temperature.

“Nice job, guys,” he said.

Cody snorted. “Glad it meets with your approval. Now, let’s hear how the only one that matters feels about the bath. Amber, what do you think?”

Keeping one arm around her breasts, Amber placed the hand of the other arm in the water next to Emmett’s hand. How he wanted to interlock his fingers with hers, but of course he didn’t. Removing his hand from the bath, he watched as her slender fingers disturbed the water and imagined what it would feel like to have her clawing his back with them.

Amber turned and gave his brother a little smile. “It’s perfect, Cody. Thank you. You guys are so sweet to do this for me. A stranger. I’m so grateful.”

Emmett wanted to press his lips to hers, to taste her mouth, to send his tongue into her. But he didn’t. His cock hated him for it, but it was the right thing to do. Amber might be attached. She might even be married. The boy she mentioned remembering might be her son from some lucky man.

The possessive streak that had grown inside him since finding her was now a lumbering, angry giant. He couldn’t imagine ever allowing any man, husband or not, to touch her. But that wasn’t sane or even part of his makeup. He and his brothers had found a home, a way of being, a lifestyle that made sense of the world, at Phase Four, Destiny’s local BDSM club. If another had a claim on Amber, he must honor it even if it meant his whole being would be ripped into shreds. It was the right thing to do. But if she was free, she wouldn’t be for long. He’d see to that. Until they knew, there would be no touches, no kisses, and definitely no fucking.

“Your clothes will have to go, Amber.”

Her cheeks turned red, and she blinked several times.

He wasn’t taking any chances. “I’ll stay with you to make sure you don’t fall.”

Amber’s face flushed. “I’m good enough to get in the tub myself, Emmett.”

“Even a little dizzy is too much. I’m staying. I won’t look at your body while you undress. Just your eyes.” He wanted her to trust him. Despite his cock’s sudden throbbing, he was a man of his word. “Once in the tub, I will turn around to give you some privacy, but I will remain in the room. Until we’re certain your condition is stable, that’s how things will have to be.”

“That’s not much privacy, cowboy, if you ask me,” she said meekly.

God, he could listen to her sweet voice day in and day out and never tire of it. “You’re safe with me. Understand?”

Her stare tangled with his, causing more heat to move down into his jeans.

“I believe you,” Amber whispered.

“We don’t want you to sue us if you trip and bust your head, sweetheart,” Cody joked.

She smirked. “Fine.”

* * * *

Amber knew she wouldn’t get anywhere arguing to be left alone.

Emmett was staying. Emmett, her savior. Emmett, the cowboy. Emmett, the stranger.

Was she being silly about being so modest? He could’ve stripped her of her clothes while she’d been out but hadn’t. She couldn’t know for sure, but he seemed a perfect gentleman.

She turned to Bryant and Cody. “What about you two?”

“Until you’re safe and sound in the bath, I’m staying,” Cody informed her.

“Same here, Amber. But once you’re in, we’ll leave.” Bryant seemed as if he could

read her mind.

Amber seemed to accept her fate. “Will you guys close your eyes while Emmett helps me in? I know it sounds silly, but would you, please?”
