Elisa didn't hesitate to change out of her dress. She loved the dress, it was beautiful, but she was just glad to get out of it. She wasn't a fan of heels either. She was more of a flats or boots type of girl. She knew she would need help with changing because of her injured leg. But she didn't want to bother Ben or anyone else. They had already done enough for her.
But as if he could read her mind, he had knocked on her door, opening it when she said it was okay to come in. He walked in, his gaze landing on her and he smiled fondly. She had already taken off the top part of her dress and was struggling with getting the bottom part off. Ben couldn't help but chuckle. "Need help?" He asked, walking over to her. She rolled her eyes, pouting as she looked up at him.
"Maybe." She grumbled.
He couldn't help but laugh again and he pressed a gentle kiss to her cheek, making her cheeks flush. He carefully helped her take the dress off, taking his time and careful not to hurt her. He unzipped the zipper and slowly slid the dress down, allowing her to step out of it. Once the dress was off, she was left in a simple, comfortable slip. Elisa sighed in relief, her shoulders relaxing as she finally felt free from the constricting fabric. Ben noticed the change in her demeanor and smiled, pleased to see her more at ease.
"Better?" He asked softly, his eyes filled with affection as he looked down at her.
Elisa nods, her smile growing as she met his gaze. "Much better. Thank you, Ben." She reaches up, cupping his cheek gently. "I don't know what I'd do without you."
Ben leans into her touch, his heart swelling with love. "You'll never have to find out," He reassures her, pressing a tender kiss to her palm. "I'm here for you, always."
Elisa felt her heart flutter at his words, her love for him deepening even more. She wraps her arms around his neck, pulling him into a warm embrace. "I love you so much, Ben."
"I love you too, Elisa," Ben murmurs against her hair, holding her close. "Now, let's get you comfortable so you can rest, okay?"
She nods and steps back to grab her pjs she had left in his room before. He stepped into his closet to give her privacy and to change into his pjs too. When he came back out, she wasn't there which confused her. But he noticed the door to the bathroom was open so he checked there, noticing her sitting on the edge of the tub and checking her injured leg. His heart skipped a beat at seeing her wearing one of his old shirts that was big enough on her to reach just above her knees. He loved the sight of her wearing his clothes. It made him feel a rush of possessiveness, but also a deep warmth and love. She glanced up when she heard him walk in, her cheeks flushing pink as she smiled shyly.
"I-uh, I was just checking my leg." She explains, gesturing to the bandaged leg. He nods, smiling softly. "I have to redo the bandage."
He nods and walks over to her. "Do you need help?" He asked, his voice gentle and caring. He knew she would be stubborn and try to do it herself, but he also knew that with her injured leg, it would be difficult and painful.
