Chapter 4

Josh spun around when he heard what Heather said. Ignoring her scantily clad body for the moment, he knelt down to look at the area in question.

"Oh crap!" he exclaimed. "Quick, do you have any hydrogen peroxide or iodine in the house?"

"Yeah, I should have some in the medicine cabinet in the bathroom." She said, looking worried.

"Show me."

Heather grabbed his hand, and led him to the bathroom down the hall. As he walked, he couldn't help but notice the flexing of her ass with every step she took. He felt a bit of pressure in his groin area, right before a spike of pain as he was reminded of the injury he took earlier. Letting loose a small groan, he looked elsewhere, not being able to enjoy the sight presented before him.

As she led him into the bathroom, she opened the medicine cabinet and pulled out a bottle of 3% solution hydrogen peroxide, and a bottle of iodine. Taking them from her, he set it down on the counter, before directing her to sit on the side of the bath tub, with her feet in the tub.

Noticing she had one of those detachable shower heads, he pulled it down, and adjusted it to a warm temperature. Gently rinsing off her ankle, he used some body soap to wash away the area that she was bitten.

Looking closer, he noticed that it was mostly indentations in her ankle, with the skin only broken in a couple of areas. He hoped that it wasn't enough to transmit the virus, but he didn't want to take any chances.

After rinsing off all the soap, he poured some hydrogen peroxide over the wounds, apologizing to Heather as he heard her draw in a quick hiss from the sting. After a few moments, he blotted the area dry, then doused it again with some more hydrogen peroxide. Once he wiped it dry again, he took the iodine tincture, and applied it liberally to the wound.

"Ok, well, I cleaned and disinfected the wound. I want to let it breathe a bit before covering it up," Josh said, looking upwards at Heather.

From his vantage point, what he saw took his breath away. Having taken in bits and pieces of her before, seeing the whole package now almost caused him to stop breathing again. Her skin was a lovely pale color, which complemented her shiny blonde hair. The swells of her breasts stood out against the tundra of her flat abdomen, broken up only by the lines that signify the "six-pack" that made his mouth water. As his vision progressed downward, he could see the hints of her pubes, almost invisible against her skin, though the gossamer layers of her silk thong.

Turning bright red, he looked back down towards the ground, feeling pain again in his groin from his "gallant reaction". Even her feet looked perfect. Finally, he closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. Letting it go, he stood up, looked her in the eyes a moment, before reaching behind her to snag a towel behind her.

"Here," he said, wrapping the towel around her. "I need to go outside for a second, so just wait in the house, ok?"

Immediately, her face showed worry. "Why? I want to go with you!"

"Well, I just wanted to double check the fox to make sure that it did have the signs of rabies. I didn't check him over that carefully, so I want to make sure." Josh said. "Plus, if you did get bit, I don't want you moving around too much. I'm not sure how it works, so I don't know if the virus would act faster if you're moving around and getting your heart pumping." Josh said as he led her back to the living room.

"Oh, well, ok, I guess." She said. Josh could tell she was depressed when she turned and her shoulders were slumped a bit.

"Hey," Josh said, walking over to her. She stopped, but didn't turn around. Josh had to pull her shoulder to get her to turn around.

"I'm not looking to leave you, ok? You're the first human I've seen in months, and probably the most beautiful I've seen in years, so I'm definitely not going to leave unless you tell me to! I just want to do my best to make sure you'll be ok, and to do that, I need to go check out that fox. I promise I'll be back in 15 minutes, so please don't worry. I've been too lonely for too long to leave you, and now that I found you, I want to make sure you're going to be around for a long time. Got it?"

Heather looked up at him, and searched his eyes with hers. Satisfied with what she saw, she gave him a small smile, before nodding her head.

"Ok. I'll be right back, ok?"

"Okay," She responded in a little girl's voice. The sound of it sent shivers down Josh's back. Impulsively, he kissed her on the nose, before turning and going out the front door.
