"After you," he said, gesturing once again towards the shower

With a sh she pulled her shirt and panties off and tossed them on the ha, Trevor Nothingwith this because I need a shower and I don’t want to wait an hour for the water to heat up again"

"Whatever you say," he reement as he stepped in behind her

She stepped beneath the shower spray, already cringing at the prospect of her stitches stinging When they didn’t, sting that is, she felt herself relax and enjoy the hot water She felt the tension leave her body and al better would be a bath, but she wanted to get clean more than she wanted to relax

"Step back," Trevor ripped her shoulders and pulled her back until she was leaning against his chest and halfway out of the water "Close your eyes"

She was about to argue, but decided to save her energy They had a lot to discuss and probably argue and she wasn’t about to start over soers and she’d always loved the way he took care of her

When he startedshampoo into her hair she’d barely been able to bite back a moan of pleasure, but she hadn’t been able to stop herself froainst him Without a word he put his are shaently caress where their babies were she nearly cried at the sweet gesture

Five minutes later she felt refreshed and more than ready to face what needed to be done She just wished she knehere to start

"What else?" he asked, barely looking at her as he dried off and pulled on a pair of boxers and jeans

"The arrangement is over," she said, a little hurt that he hadn’t at least argued about her leaving Not that it would have made a difference, but it would have been nice to know that he at least liked having her around

"I know I came to the same conclusion the other day," he said with an indifferent shrug

"Oh," she said, feeling like an idiot Of course it was no big deal for hiement for hi aithout a care Granted neither one of thenancy, but it was over nonetheless

It was fine More than fine She’d known co that there wouldn’t be a future She could handle that It was ht as she conte hiuess there’s notshe’d tell hio feel sorry for herself in the privacy of her own hoesturing towards the door

"Well, thanks," she said la"
