Cleaning off

A literal blood bath

That was what Cane had just experienced, within the small hospital bathroom, the wall and floor were nearly painted a new color due to the sheer volume of blood that had caked the two girls. It was as if they had swum In the Nile River after Moses turned it into blood

Choosing to wash Alice first, as she was already naked, he had turned on the shower before walking out to grab a hospital robe and tie a bandage around his eyes to give her some modicum of privacy, leaving him only able to see shadows and shapes before returning to find her already laying under the flowing water, giggling like a baby. That led to an interesting discovery

By the looks of it, when Alice had taken that wolf form it had caused a near-perfect synchronization between her two personalities, and so it stood to reason that when she exited that form it left her with some, hopefully, temporary mental issues… well more than the usual amount

It was hard enough to scrub the girl blindfolded, but it only got much harder when she couldn't sit still, trying to hug him and just acting like a general child, by the time he had finished he was completely soaked and she had once more past out, meaning he had to carry her to one of the medical beds, now squeaky clean or at least as much as he could tell with the bandages obscuring his vision

Now he finally made his way back to the bathroom to wash off Jasmin, simply walking in and picking the woman up by the armpits he stood her up gently before gingerly taking off her clothes and underwear, avoiding his eyes in a rare case of embarrassment. Eventually, after that he slowly dragged her to the shower and sat her down on a chair, he had placed there when he had gotten sick of Alice flopping on the ground like a salmon

Then he began the slippery process of gently sponging her down before scrubbing with a brush to get out the congealed blood, when you live in the mafia you learn pretty quickly how to clean off blood, going from her legs to her arms and other spots that her clothes hadn't protected, such as her face and a line along her stomach and hips that seemed like a demonic version of sunburn

As he washed off her face and began to brush her short hair, he felt her begin to move and knew she had woken up, and as if to prove his point he felt a hand brush his cheek under the bandage before hearing a teasing voice

"You know you can look right?" she teased, taking an inviting tone, which acted as if he didn't hear "you'll probably see it at one point or another"

That made him pause for a second as the words registered in his head "…. *Ahem* please stop moving, I can't wash you If you keep shifting" he said, deciding to act as if she hadn't said that "Alice already provided enough trouble"

Thankfully she took her hand off his cheek and began to sit still for him before he heard her ask "you washed Alice?"

Hearing her soft tone, he couldn't help feeling sweat gather on his forehead, even though he didn't know why, when he didn't reply she must have gotten annoyed, and he felt his blindfold get yanked away before to hands held his head

"Excuse me I asked a question," she said, acting as if he were the one being rude, even though she was both naked and smiling he saw how cold her eyes were

"Yes, I did" he answered in a neutral tone, stopping to see the emotions disappear from her dead eyes before continuing "I wore a blindfold just like I did with you, but it was difficult because her overusing her powers appears to have rendered her into a childish state," he said quickly feeling surprisingly nervus

Women are scary even to the mafia

When he heard his answer her grip on his head loosened and she looked more gently at him "a childish state?" she repeated his words, seemingly curious

"yes" he replied nodding "it appears turning into a giant wolf comes with some drawbacks"

Having got her answer she Looked at him closely for a few seconds with a gaze that seemed to stare through him, before turning back around and gesturing with her head for him to continue cleaning

However, when he reached for the bandage to recover her eyes she tossed out a nearby window giving a noncommittal "oops" covering her expression with a hand, attempting to hide her grin. While he was tempted to just walk out on her and leave her to clean herself, he decided against it as he felt a little bad for the state she had been in when she arrived at his window so he just gritted his teeth and continued scrubbing

The next five minutes had to be one of the tensest moments of Cane's life, every time he went to wipe her he had to keep his gaze from shifting across her body and it didn't help that Jasmin seemed to delight in taunting him when he wiped down her back she took careful consideration to lean back, nearly showing Cane her "front" before he could look away and let out a sensual giggle at his embarrassment

Having been homeschooled in a secure location for most of his life to avoid assignation attempts and other mob-related dangers, Cane had only really met women his age that wasn't part of the syndicate during his 4 years at university, and even then, he had mostly kept to himself, dating only a few women here and there

So as he finished washing her up, and carried her back to his hospital room, and she snuggled up to his chest breathing heavily he couldn't help but feel some amount of defeat
