"Explaining to do"

Ridge POV

"What was the site called?" I questioned a forming thought in my mind,

She scrolled through her phone before finding it, "RequiresYourAttentionBook.com/query=Him+Help=Us"

She looked back up at me, "Why?"

I beamed, my eyes twinkling and looking back at Jinx before attempting to stand, his hand about to slip from mine when his grip tightened again and I sighed, smiling faintly at him, & sitting back on the floor. "His grip is too tight. I don't think he wants me to go, can you go our bag from the car, please? I'll explain when you get back."

She nodded, "Sure, sure of course. I'll leave the bags outside the door; you need to clean him soon. He might get infected."

"Yes, ma'am"

"Ew, no. I'm Kys. Just Kys" She laughed before it died out- our situation, again adding a density to the air. "I'll be back, towels are in the closet."

"Thanks... "

She stood before glancing back at Jinx and then me before walking out, closing the door behind her.

The air stood sticky and humid in the room now my muscles tensing. "Okay, great. How are we gonna do this..."

I kicked off my shoes slowly than my socks to the small pile forming, before taking off my shirt as well, the now matted dirt and stench on my clothes mixed with the blood all becoming too much as I stripped eventually only leaving myself in my jeans.

I sighed looking over at the pale-skinned man and I couldn't help but feel slightly bad about having to wash him.

I didn't want to violate his privacy but he has to heal.

I lifted his body from the tub holding him against me - his body leaning on my chest and slightly over my shoulder whilst I held him up by his thighs with my right arm, getting permission from Kys; to ensure I wouldn't interfere with his mental state. I drained the murky brown water from it, prior to starting to running a hot new bath for him occasionally looking down at his head leaning on my chest, his skin sending sparks across mine at contact while I watched his slowly breathing frame.

"Please don't be mad when you wake."

I slowly lifted his shirt with my free hand after stopping the water, raising it over his head, revealing deep cuts and claw marks that littered his skin; dried blood smeared across his soft skin that made my blood boil as I looked him over.

I grabbed the gauze, medicine, stitches, and syringes from beside me, seeing what I'd grabbed and crowned myself pretty satisfied. I'd gotten enough stitch to cover the big cuts and enough packing and cotton gauze so that they wouldn't come undone and infect his wounds for a while.

I bit my lip in conflict before slowly crouching and getting on my knees holding J bridal style as I kneeled at the tub's entrance and cautiously dipped his body in before fully letting him sit in the water.

I ran a warm rag under the water and slowly wiped his skin off of the old blood so that the water wouldn't quickly become dirty and so I could stitch him up.

My fingers slid across his soft skin, his slightly defined torso cold & his chest, warm. I wet the rag again and wiped down his chest as my thumb slipped off the cloth and brushed across hardened nipple causing me to bulge my eyes and instantly freeze, stopping to take a deep breath.
