Chapter 55 Shower

Aiden's POV

Entering our room after that stressful event, I still feel somewhat in a daze, as I look down at myself and see I'm covered in blood.

I look at Thaddeus and he looks worse than me. He's covered in blood, and bits and pieces of only Goddess knows what.

I walk toward Thaddeus and kneel, so I can look him over and make sure he's okay. With just a pair of basketball shorts on, I'm able to see most of his body. I rub my hands over his torso, wiping the blood and junk away so I can see his skin. I can see most of the wounds are healed, or healing. I continue to run my hands along his body, pushing blood away to make sure he's okay. It's kind of hard to tell what's his, and what's not.

I was so focused, I didn't see his hands reaching for mine until they wrapped around my hands and stopped me.

"Hey, I'm okay."

I look at Thaddeus and let out a breath, then smile at him, giving his hand a squeeze as I stand.

"Let's take a shower," I said, and Thaddeus cocks an eyebrow at me.
