3rd Person

“I should,” Ethan grumbled. “I should make you go back.” He stared down at Jane, with her wide eyes and vulnerable expression, then sighed. “But my wolf didn’t want to let you out of our sight in the first place, and now I realize he was right.” Ethan offered Jane a wolfish smirk, “You, my naughty little mate, are much better off where I can keep an eye on you.

Jane’s nose crinkled and a shiver ran down her spine at the sound of his heated tone. “I don’t think I like the sound of that.”

Ethan chuckled, “And that’s exactly why I’m going to do just that.” He leaned down and brushed his l!ps over her brow, “now tell me what I can do to help you feel better.”

A little while earlier, Jane had only wanted physical affection. However the IV fluids were gradually returning her to her usual self, and she realized just how much damage two days lying on the floor of cramped staff quarters had done to her hygiene. She felt sweaty and dirty, there was a sour taste in her mouth and she was worried she was beginning to smell. The idea of getting into Ethan’s clean sheets in this state was unthinkable. “I want a bath.” She decided firmly, though her voice came out hoarse.

Ethan studied the curve of her elbow, covered in tubes and medical tape. I think that can be arranged, but we’ll have to keep your arm out of the water.

Jane nodded, “Okay.”

Five minutes later, Jane was floating in Ethan’s huge whirlpool bath while its powerful jets massaged her aching muscles. It felt incredible, but the tub’s basin was so deep she couldn’t actually rest against the porcelain frame- it was clearly made for a shifter the Alpha’s size, and not a diminutive omega. Jane huffed in frustration, looking over at Ethan hopefully. He was sitting beside the bath, keeping an eye on the IV and taking the opportunity to ogle his beautiful mate under the guise of helping” her bathe.

When Ethan dragged his eyes away from her long legs and luscious bre*asts, instead zeroing in on her lovely face, he smirked. Something you want to ask me, Janey?”

Jane flushed scarlet, “It’s too deep.”

Ethan surveyed the huge bath, nodding in agreement but giving no indications he intended to help. “I think you’re right.”

Jane’s eyes narrowed to slits, Well?”
