Chapter 0175

When the doctor tellsshe wants to hookback up, I’m afraid I’m going to have another panic attack. | don’t want to be tethered anywhere. I’m surprised but thankful when Liam asks if there is another way. I'll do just about anything to not be tied up again. I’ve had enough of that in the last seven years.

When the doctor leaves, | relax until Liam asks abouttaking a bath. If I’m honest, nothing sounds better right now than a long soak in a tub with hot water. Showers in the coven were cold because the vampires don’t feel the cold. So, | would get in and get out as fast as | could. | haven’t had a warm bath or shower since my family and | left the pack so many years ago.

| look at him weighing my desire to take a bath with the possibility that this is a trick or there is srequirement that | have to meet if | accept.

He sighs heavily. “I don’t want anything from you. | can just tell that you were running in the woods for a while before you got to my pack and before that you were in a coven for seven years. You don’t have to, and there is a shower in there as well, | just thought a bath would feel better, and I’m honestly not sure you're strong enough to stand long enough to take a shower, so the bath is probably safer.”

| look to where he pointed. | really, really want a bath. “Okay.” | say.

He smiles atas if | just gave him the best gift in the world, and my breath catches. The man is attractive, but when he smiles? Wow! He should definitely smile more often.

“Do you needto help you to the bath?” He asks me. Nope, sure don’t. “I think | can manage on my own, thank you.”

He nods and moves into the bathroom. In a moment, | hear the water start to run. | sit up and scoot to the edge of the bed. | pull the sheet until | can wrap it around myself then slide off the bed until my feet touch. When | try to stand, my legs won't hold my weight. | start to go down, my hands reaching out to catch me. Before | hit the floor, strong arms wrap aroundand I’m lifted into Liam's

arms. +15 BONOS

He looks at me, aggravation clear on his face. He carriesbridal style to the bathroom. “Are you determined to undo everything I've done to help you heal? You could have landed on your face, broken your nose and all the healing powers of licking won't fix that. Not to mention, your blood levels are still low and an injury like that could set your recovery back who knows. how long.”

I've tucked myself against his body because when he pickedup, the sheet did not cwith us. I’m naked in his arms, so I've curled up as best | can to maintain smodesty. He shiftsin his arms, holdingwith one arm while he reaches in and tests the water. Seriously? How strong is he? He’s holding my entire body with one arm like I’m a child who weighs nothing.

When he’s satisfied, he gently setsdown in the water. | can’t help the moan that leaves my lips. It feels so good. The heat makes my newer punctures feel sensitive, but it immediately starts working on my sore muscles.

When he setsdown, | pull my knees to my chest, again trying to hide myself from him. However, when | look at him, he isn’t even looking at me. He’s gone to the shower and is searching through the bottles on the shelf. When he turns around, | see his eyes are glazed over. | remember that as the look of the mind link. He sets the bottles beside the tub and walks to the door.

| thought he was leaving, but he pushed the door closed, leaving it cracked a bit. He comes back, turning the water off and coming to sit behind me. “Lean back.”

| turn to look at him over my shoulder. “What?”

“I'm going to wash your hair, it’s a mess, lean back.”

| turn away from him, not sure what to do. | hear him sigh loudly before | feel his hands on my shoulders. | flinch at the touch, but he leans in toand quietly says, “I will not hurt you. You are under my protection now and | take that very seriously. Relax.“
