Kole steadied her while he tugged a sleeve down her arm. Coat removed, he dropped it to the ground. He started in on her shirt buttons. “You need to soak to sterilize your wounds. Afterward, I’ll cauterize them.”
Skyler half-heartedly slapped at his hands. “What do you think you’re doing?”
“You can’t wear clothes into the pond.”
Skyler pushed away from Kole’s grasp, wobbling but righting herself. Her chin popped up. “Let me. Turn around.” She dropped her shirt on the ground.
“Don’t be childish. I’ve already seen what you’ve got. Besides, you can hardly stand, let alone undress yourself.”
“Close your eyes.”
“No.”
Skyler’s vision blurred. When she tumbled sideways, Kole swept her into his arms.
He rested her against a boulder, removing her boots and socks. “Everything, Frisca.”
When Skyler fumbled with the snap on her pants, Kole finished the job, sliding them and her panties down her legs. “Lean forward a bit.” He reached behind her, unclasping her bra, slipping it off her shoulders.
Snagging onto the shirt, she covered her breasts and sex. “Turn around while I get in.”
“Not happening.”
Damn him.
While Kole removed his chest harness loaded with weapons, his axe, his long blade, laying them on a rock within reach of the pond, Skyler struggled to get up off the ground. She failed.
After he pulled his tee over his head, his fingers went for his pants. “Stop! What are you doing? You can’t get in there naked with me.”
“Frisca, I have to keep you from drowning in this muck while I check out your wounds. Make sure the mud’s doing its job. The clothes are coming off.”
She groaned.
Kole unzipped his pants. “Besides, you’ve already ogled my ass and other parts.”
“Don’t keep bringing that up. I told you it was an accident. You have nothing I want to see again. Nothing.”
Lie. He has everything I want to see.
To prove it, she gawked, lips parted, as Kole stepped out of his pants.
His head angled down, he stared at his sizable erection, an annoying satisfaction brightening his eyes. “Well, not nothing as you can clearly see.” He spread his legs further apart. “I guess my dick likes you better than I do.”
Skyler’s mouth fell open. She swallowed hard at the sight of Kole with an erection. He was long. Thick. And so aroused.
“Close your mouth. You can’t have it.”
“You’re a vulgar, dirty, brutish animal.”
“Me? Vulgar? I wasn’t the one with my mouth guppied and my eyes glued to my cock. Here. Grab me around the neck.” He winked when he reached down to lift her.
“Do. Not. Touch. Me.” Skyler knocked his hands aside.
He bent, scooping her into his arms. “Even with a fever and infection, you are stubborn, female.” Kole climbed into the Healing Pond with Skyler hanging on so tight her nails bit into his skin.
Once he settled on a flat boulder beneath the surface, he positioned her on his lap. She felt the nudge of his large, very firm penis. “Put me down. I insist.”
“Hell. Go on. Drown.” Grabbing her under the arms, he plopped her beside him. “Slide deeper into the water. Cover as much of your body as possible in the muck.”
