He took the soap happily from her, and with dedication and detail, he slowly began to clean his Domitor's body, his touch light and firm.  Once water had sent the soap away, she'd occasionally find him planting idle kisses here and there on her body. "There is. I know I've lost a bit of it over the past year, but I still have a lot of love to give." He noticeably did not blame her for the events that transpired to separate them, and which had shook the very core of his being. And, in time, he'd eventually get over his negative feelings towards Cass.<br/><br/>"I'll try to care for her, too. I can't love her as much as I love you, though. And I know you have space in your heart for her, too. I'm okay with that." Mostly okay, at any rate. That seed of jealousy, such a foreign thing to him, squirmed around in his mind. Most of him wanted to make this work, but there was a small part of him that desired Cass' removal from their lives, nearly as much as she desired to remove him.
