Chapter 74 - Vulnerable

I feel the moment when Ramses takes me to the shower, my feet on the cold wet tiles, he moves to my chest, his slim digits, taking me out of my gown which reeks of blood, I didn't even know where the blood was from, I only knew that the scent of sharp copper filled my lungs, Ramses laid me down inside the Jacuzzi, the warm water soothing my skin, the scent of sandalwood replacing the blood, I opened my eyes, the light of the bathroom slapped my face with blinding force, I shut my eyes back instantly, my hand gathering the soapy suds floating on the water to me like a child in a bath, Ramses bends down towards me and I can feel his breath ghosting on my nape, he places his hand on my head and massages it in a circling motion, the flowery scent of the same shampoo I perceived on Aquasteine penetrating my nostrils.
