ACT 13

When Katarina finally arrived at the Du Couteau estate and had parked her Bentley in the garage, she guided Ashe into the estate, led her up the stairs and to her bedroom. She was actually surprised that she didn't run into Cassiopeia and Talon.

As soon as she closed her bedroom door, she led Ashe to the bathroom to give her a warm shower.

Katarina's heart pounded in her ribcage when she stripped Ashe of her damp clothing and gave her a shower. Ashe was like a sleepy child being given a bath by a mother, but of course, Katarina kept the bath brief.

She pulled Ashe out of the bathtub and wrapped a towel around her form. Katarina led Ashe back to her bedroom and had her sit on the foot of the bed before she took another towel and used it to dry Ashe's wet hair.

"Can you dress up on your own?" Katarina asked, glancing at the clothes she had laid out for Ashe on the bed.

Ashe soundlessly nodded.

"Alright, I'll be back, okay? I'm just going to take a shower."

Again, Ashe nodded without uttering a word.

Katarina was quick with her showering. She usually savours her time in the bath or the shower, but not today. Ashe is currently in her bedroom, and she has this need inside of her to take care of the depressed Avarosa.

After showering, she wrapped herself in a towel similar to Ashe's and stepped out of the bathroom, drying her hair with a smaller towel as she exited the bathroom.

Katarina was surprised when she saw the clothes she prepared for Ashe on the floor and the towel Ashe was previously wrapped in sloppily hanging from the side of her hamper. She turned her gaze to her bed and found Ashe snuggled under the blanket, leaving her head to be the only part visible from her body.

"Ashe, why didn't you put the clothes on?" Katarina asked, walking up to the pile of clothing.

"I just want to lay down." She heard Ashe murmur.

Katarina picked up the fallen clothes and placed them on a nearby chair before walking around the bed and standing at the direction Ashe was facing. Ashe's eyes opened, revealing a pair of sorrowful cerulean orbs.

Their eye contact was broken when Ashe suddenly shivered and her eyes reflexively closed. Katarina frowned.

"You're cold. You need to put some clothes on."

Ashe weakly shook her head. Much to her surprise, Ashe emerged from the covers and kneeled on the bed, moving towards Katarina using her knees. It took almost all of Katarina's self-control to not look down and practically drink the sight of Ashe's beautiful slim body.

Ashe stopped and Katarina had to hold her arms to keep her from falling, her warm skin causing a conrast with her cold ones.

"Lay with me."

The silence was deafening for Katarina, and she could feel Ashe's eyes piercing through her soul.

"Ashe, listen, you're tired and the fatigue must be setting in...-!"

"Please." Ashe whispered, forlornly gazing at her.

Katarina pursed her lips in a line before she slowly and stiffly nodded.

Unexpectedly, Ashe's hands moved forward and firmly grasped her towel. One of Katarina's hands shot up and gripped one of Ashe's own hands.

"Ashe..."
