“Oh.” I’d forgotten about my nudity, so I glanced toward my lap and realized all my bubbles were gone and I was basically on display. But I didn’t feel self-conscious at all. I felt safe. “No, it’s okay. If you want to stay, I’d like that.”
He glanced around the bathroom and noticed a plastic cup on my sink and reached for it. “Maybe I can help then?”
“Sure.” I sat still, waiting for his direction.
Aaron kneeled down on the mat and filled the cup with warm water. “Lean forward and I’ll wash your hair.”
Too choked up by the gesture to speak, I sat forward.
“Good boy.” His strong hand slid across my sternum as he held me steady. “Now look up and close your eyes.”
I did as he asked and then purred like a kitten when the warm water spread across my hairline without a single drop escaping down my face. I might have hummed in contented joy a time or two as he lathered up my hair and carefully rinsed it.
“Have you washed everything else?” He rubbed down my back. “The water is cooling off, so you should get out soon.”
“Not yet. I just sank into the water and closed my eyes.”
Aaron took that as an invitation to further help and took a clean washcloth off the stack in my cabinet. After soaking it in water, he poured some coconut body wash on the cloth and proceeded to scrub my back and over my cheeks. The warm cloth then slid under my arm so he could reach my chest and..front.
Without slowing down, he carefully and respectfully washed all the way down my hips, over my crotch, and along my legs, ending with my toes. My cock stiffened, but I didn’t get overly aroused. That was primarily because I was so enamored by his gentle affection.
I wanted more of that kind of love and touch…in every kind of way.
“You ready to get out now, sweetheart?” His hand rubbed a circle on my back. “You look like you’re ready to pass out, but you need to eat.”
“Okay.” Words never seemed to come to me when I was with Aaron. Or maybe they just weren’t necessary. As long as I agreed, he continued to take care of me.
And I knew he always would.

AARON
I thought it would take an act of tremendous self-control not to gawk at the beautifully wet and naked boy in the tub, but it was easier than I expected. As soon as he invited me to stay with him, my interest became purely…pure.
Brody trusted me to care for him and not take advantage of the vulnerable situation he was in. And I treasured that trust. Which made a switch flip inside me that turned off the sexual tension I usually felt around him and pushed me straight into Daddy mode.
A mode that I’d never fully embraced until I met Brody.
When he was done, he stood straight up without any inhibitions about being naked in front of me. I pulled a big towel from his cabinet and wrapped it fully around his body. Once it was secured around his body, I grabbed a smaller towel and dried off his hair.
“What do you want to wear tonight?” I didn’t want to assume that his standard t-shirt and basketball shorts would be appropriate tonight. But I also didn’t want to push him toward something he wasn’t ready for.
His eyes locked with mine as he considered his options. “Maybe my footie pajamas tonight. It’s a little chilly.”
“I think that’s a good idea.” I pulled him against my chest. “I’m proud of all the good choices you’ve been making.”
“Thank you.” He pressed his face into my neck and sucked in a deep breath. “You make it easy to be good.”
I felt like I was ten feet tall as we walked back into his bedroom. “Can I help you?”
Brody nodded and pointed to the dresser. “Bottom drawer.”
I retrieved his pajamas, and when I turned back to him, the towel was pooled around his feet and he was standing in front of me, fully naked.
Fuck. I wanted to explore his whole body. The brief glimpses and even briefer touches I’d been able to endure in a chaste way were now cranking up my libido to a crazy level. I forced myself to keep my eyes on his face instead of letting them roam where they wanted to go. “Do you need boxers under these?”
“Not tonight.” He lifted his arms up and held them out so I could help him get into his PJs. “I don’t want anything else on me but the cozy parts.”
