I nodded. “Bed”
He shifted me, holding me in place with one arm as he reached down to pull at the covers on the made bed. I held in a small smile at the predictability of Ethan’s habits as Seth gently put me down and brought the covers over me.
Before I could say anything. Seth left and I found myself wondering it had been make–up sex or just angry sex. The slapping sounds, the rough–almost animalistic–growds and grunts seemed to still echo in my head.
I didn’t want to fight anymore, but Seths haunted look and angry reaction battled me and I wanted to know that story. I had never been one for confrontation though, well at least the serious type of Confrontation, and they all knew it.
Nibbling on my lower lip, I stared blankly at the comforter covering the when the bedroom door opened and Seth walked back in with something in his hands. Whatever it was, it was wrapped in a clean washrag. When he sat next to me and pulled the blankets off my I almost whined, but he showed no response as he nudged my thighs apart.
“What are you doing?”
“It’s an ice pack. Keep it on your t

Like I hadn’t even spoken, he continued, and then take a hot bath with that bag of Epsom salt under the bathroom sink.”
“But why?”
He heaved a sigh. “It’ll help with the soreness,” he said, caressing my thigh. His finger lingered over a fingerprint shaped bruise that was starting and the frown, which had never left his face, deepened. I m sorry we were so rough with you.”

“Precautions? Like condoms? It’s fine. I told you. I’m still on birth control for at least another week.”
He licked his bottom lip, mostly to cover the smile tugging his mout upward, but I still saw it. “Not those types of precautions… safe word precautions.”
“It wasn’t that b

He stood from the bed and turned towards the bathroom, but I reached out, placing my hand on his forearm to stop him. “Hey, Seth, sorry about–well, with what happened tonight I mean. I know it was supposed to be our first date night. I didn’t expect to see them.”
I watched, my eyes moving back and forth over his face like I was reading a book, fearing the anger that could follow, but he’d shut his eyes too quickly for me to see much of anything. His jaw clenched and he kept them closed for about five seconds before making eve contact with me. I know, he whispered.
“And we do need to talk about it, you know? We talked about it a little that one night, but with it

I held my hands up in a peace offering. “I get it, not tonight, maybe not even tomorrow, but eventually.”
