Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 997 I've Wanted This for a Long Time

Raymond's grip on Selena's hand loosened, and he started massaging her scalp.

Selena was worried about the foam getting in her eyes, so she kept them shut tight.

Raymond noticed and pulled her back against him, tilting her head up to keep the foam out of her eyes. Feeling safer, Selena opened her eyes.

Raymond was standing while she sat there, completely naked. When she looked up, their eyes locked. The moment felt charged.

They thought one of them would look away, but neither did. They just kept staring.

Finally, Raymond broke the gaze to grab the showerhead and rinse off the foam.

It wasn't until the hot water hit her head that Selena blushed.

Raymond finished washing her hair, then lathered up a bath sponge and carefully cleaned her whole body. After rolling around by the river for so long, she smelled pretty bad. But now, she smelled like body wash. After a good half hour, Raymond grabbed a towel, wrapped her in it, and carried her to the sofa outside.

"I'm gonna take a shower. I'll put some Arnica on you when I'm done," Raymond said.

Selena clutched the towel and nodded slowly.

Raymond's pants were dirty and soaked. He grabbed some pajamas and headed to the bathroom.

Twenty minutes later, he came out, drying his hair, and went downstairs to find the Arnica. He moved her hair away from her shoulder. "This might hurt a bit," he said.
