RISEN: THE AMETHYST PRINCESS

Chapter 4 - Shower

Talia POV

“Why don't you help me?” He said in a sensual voice, melting my entire body. He was weak, right? I shouldn't be thinking about that… Am I a pervert? What is happening?

“I… Hum…” I stuttered and he held my hand in his…

“It is either you help me, or a nurse… I would rather have my mate with me…” He said in a soft voice, making it almost impossible to refuse…

I took a deep breath, this moment would be the most sensual moment of my entire life. And I had to control my urges, because he was not fit to engage in strenuous activities, less of all, making love.

“Alright… “ I said, extending my hand toward him. He laced his fingers between mine, and with a great effort he stood up. I helped him to bear his ground, and with slow steps we walked towards the bathroom.

He was wearing a flimsy hospital gown. I squeezed past him and turned the shower on. The water took a minute to warm up, and I didn't want him to freeze to death. I turned around and he was facing me… “Aren't you going to get wet?” He asked, and I shivered…

“I am helping you, of course, I will get wet… “ I said, and he ran his eyes up and down my body… “Adam…” I gasped and he sighed…

“I am weak… I am sure you deserve better than my currently weak efforts…” He cupped my face, and I leaned into his touch…

He leaned forward and softly kissed me. Unraveling a lot of emotions… lust, passion, anger about the lost time, and relief about having him here with me…

The room was completely foggy, and I moved around to mix the scorching hot water with some cold one, to warm it up… I turned around, my cheeks flushed “The water is ready…” I announced, and he nodded…

He turned around, “Would you help me?” He said and I gulped down… He was naked under that flimsy robe, and he was asking me to untie it.

I took a small step forward and untied the first not, then the second, and finally the third one… His back was perfect…despite being a lot less built, every single muscle was toned and perfect. He turned around and looked at me. I was certain I was furiously red.

“We don't want to get your clothes wet…” he said, and I chuckled. I knew what he was trying to do, and I was not against it… After all, he is my mate, and I belong to him, even if we can't mate or mark now.

“You are a sneaky dragon… “ I said, while he removed my shirt, leaving me only in my bra… I shivered under his gaze. I had to remind myself that he was weak, and he needed my help to shower… This was just a shower, right?

He lowered the toilet lid and sat on it, he lowered my pants, leaving me in my underwear… “Alright…” He slowly stood up, and I took his hand to help him stand.

We walked slowly towards the small shower, and before we stepped into it, he removed his robe, baring himself to me. I looked at him… He was perfect. Every muscle, crease and dip. He was strong and toned, a bit slim, due to his time in a coma, but he was just perfect. The way the water ran down his skin was sinful.

I got lost in him, then lowered my eyes. I had to take a peek, right? His d**k was semi-hard, his not so well groomed area was mesmerizing. His was the first d**k I have ever seen in my life, and I was completely in awe… I wanted to touch it, taste it, have it inside me.

He cleared his throat. I completely admired him, and I completely embarrassed myself. I looked away, knowing I must be beet red. “Sorry…” I mumbled, averting his eyes.

He lifted my chin and locked his beautiful green eyes into mine… “I am yours… you can look at me all you want…” He said, and kissed my neck, pulling me under the warm water with him.

My heart raced, and my breathing became labored. I took a small step back, and taking a body wash, I squirted the liquid into a loofa, and started lathering his back. From time to time, my hands touched him. Every time my skin contacted his, a shiver ran down his body…

I was glad to know that he was not the only one affected by this bond. He had accepted it, and he was as mine as I was his.

I rinsed his back, and placed a tender kiss on his shoulder… Then he turned around to face me… I took the loofa and lathered his front, noticing a dark scar on his side… I knelt in front of him, and kissed it…

“Dagda, the things I want to do to you…” He grunted, making me shiver…

“You are weak…” My voice came out labored and weak.

“I know…” He used his arms to support his weight against the wall…. “And I am sure, you are making this extra hard...” He said, looking down, and then I noticed his now very erect, hard and huge d**k…

I bit my lips, and quickly stood up. There was a shower seat inside the stall, and I helped him sit. He had been standing under the water for a while, and I was certain he needed a very deep hair wash. I squirted some shampoo into my hands and, stepping close to him, I stood between his legs, and started rubbing the shampoo over his hair… My fingertips massaged his scalp…

He closed his eyes, and wrapped his arms around my hips, resting his warm hands over my butt. Sneaky weak dragon, my ass… literally!

After making sure he was properly washed; shaved and clean… we stepped out of the shower. I wrapped his body in a bathrobe, and I wrapped mine in another…

The way he saw me, was something I yearned for my entire life. “That was amazing… from now on, I am only taking showers like this…” He said, wrapping his arms around me.

I chuckled… “I am sure of that…” I muttered, and he chuckled…

I helped him dry and dress… and now wearing comfortable pants and a cotton v-neck, he slowly walked out of the bathroom, leaving me space to dry and change myself. “Adam, be careful, you shouldn't be walking alone…” I yelled from inside the bathroom.

“He is not alone…” The familiar masculine voice made me falter… I quickly changed and stepped out of the bathroom…

“Daddy…” I said, not meeting his eyes, and I am certain turning a deep shade of red, almost purple of embarrassment.

“I heard he was up…” My father said, making himself comfortable in the small seating area inside his room.

“Yeah…” I mumbled and walked to the seating area as well, but midway Adam reached out to me, and pulled me towards him…

I gasped, and then melted under his touch… “Daddy, Adam… he…” I stuttered,

My dad gave me a knowing look, and sighed, “He is your mate, right?” He finished for me and we slowly nodded.

“How do you know?” I asked him. I was certain that the question was almost rhetorical, but I wanted him to answer this one…

“At first, I thought you were concerned because he was your friend, and he got injured during your rescue… but with the passing of days, it was more than evident that he was something else, something more… Especially when you almost moved in here to look after him…” My dad said and I gasped. I expected him to reveal some details, not fully blow my cover. I moved into my sleeping beauty's room.

“Dad!” I bit my lower lip, and Adam kissed my shoulder…

“Well, it was the best feeling waking up to see her… Thanks for letting her stay with me…” Adam said politely, and then he added, “Your Highness…” and bowed.

“Son, we are family now… no formalities… Alexander is just about right…” Dad said and Adam nodded. I was sure Adam would struggle with that one. He was a trained warrior under my dad's command. He was used to addressing him with authority and by his rank…

“It is good to have you back…” My dad stood up, and I jumped out of Adam's embrace…

“Thanks, Daddy…” I hugged him…

He wrapped his arms around me, and then mumbled into my ear, “You are not off of the hook, there are some pressing matters I need to discuss with you…” He said, and I slowly nodded.

“Take your time… and when you are ready, stop by…” He winked my way, and waved goodbye to Adam.

I turned around, and saw Adam's tender smile… “So, you moved in with me without even asking?” He lifted his eyebrows playfully. Damn it! I knew it! He was not going to let that one up soon…
