Most of his body was already dry but when I gently eased his swimming costume down he was still wet underneath.Most of his body was already dry but when I gently eased his swimming costume down he was still wet underneath. I pulled the towel from my shoulders and gently dabbed at his bruised genitals. The boy's sex organs had shrivelled until his scrotum had all but vanished. His little penis had contracted and pulled into him so that not more than an inch was showing. The cold water had definitely helped to reduce the boy's pain. As I dried him off he winced once and then it was only in discomfort. I dried off his sides and buttocks and then worked the towel into his crack. "You need to go to the toilet?" I asked. Rafael shook his head tiredly. I smiled, "If you wait here I'll get your toothbrush." He nodded sleepily and sat down on his bed looking for his overlarge 'tee-shirt' pajamas. By the time I came back he'd managed to get it over his head but he was struggling to get his arms into the sleeves. I suppressed a laugh and knelt down on the floor before him to help. The boy's strength was fading fast as he yawned and blinked his dark eyes. He was almost asleep. While he was still sitting up I brushed his teeth for him. I don't think he could have done it by himself. It was amusing to think that only five minutes earlier Rafael was doing his best to seduce me in the pool and now he was too tired to move. I guided him back down into the bed and straightened his arms and legs. He smiled slowly as his eyes half closed and he turned onto his side and curled up like a tired little puppy. I lifted the sheet up so that it was over legs and abdomen and sat down next to him. I lovingly stroked his side for the few seconds that it took for him to fall asleep. He was so tired that I expected him to sleep right through the night. I stayed next to him for a long while, still stroking his back lightly and caressing the wet strands of his hair until it was dry. When I finally stood up it was several hours after. Rafael had slept soundly the entire time and it didn't seem likely that he would wake up. |
