“I know, but I should have never given that bastard the power to hurt me or make me believe the only way I could hold on to my sanity was to get as far away from him as I could. Please, you have to believe that I never wanted to leave you. Back then, I simply didn’t think I had any other option than to get as far away from Davis and the awful memories as I could.”
“I believe you, Mel, but please tell me you haven’t been beating yourself up all these years for moving away?”
My throat closed off with a sob as I nodded.
“Mellie, Mellie. My sweet Mellie,” Sanna choked through her tears as she wrapped her arms around me.
“Dammit, Sanna, I’m so sorry. If I could go back and change things, I’d do it in a heartbeat,” I cried. “I’m so sorry I never told you the truth.”
“Me too,” she whispered on a defeated sigh.
Clutching her tighter, I apologized over and over while mourning the precious time I’d selfishly stolen from the two of us. After several long, emotional minutes, Savannah pulled away and wiped her tears.
“Okay, I have a solution to this problem. While I hire a hit man to take out Master Asswipe, you sell your house in Phoenix and move here,” she announced with a watery smile.
I choked out a sobbing laugh and sniffed.
Smoothing back my hair, she looked into my eyes. “I understand now why you were always so tense at Genesis, and why you never wanted to scene with any of the real Dominants there.”
I nodded with a frown. “I’m sorry I never told you the truth, sis.”
“No. Don’t go there,” she warned, narrowing her red-rimmed eyes. “We’ll only start bawling again. Besides, I’ve already forgiven you. You’re my sister. I love you.”
“I love you, too. So, so much,” I sniffed.
She poured us each another glass of wine, then we leaned against the railing of the deck and stared out at the lake. “Do you miss it…submission, I mean?”
“Not until I come here and spend time with you three,” I softly confessed.
“Oh, Mel,” Savannah groaned. “I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be. You have no idea how happy I am that you found those two wonderfully Dominant men. And I’m even more ecstatic that you let them into your heart and your life.”
A slight blush rose on her cheeks.
“Do you know how proud I am that you’ve come out of hiding and have spread your wings? Or what a fucking gorgeous woman you’ve become?” I asked with a broad smile.
“Stop,” she giggled, shaking her head.
“No. I’m not going to stop. Since you found those two, you simply glow. You’re so full of life and so illuminating. Hell, you walk into the room and it’s blinding…you’re blindingly beautiful, baby. And you did that all on your own.”
“Not on my own,” she argued with a sappy smile. “I can say the exact same of you, and don’t you dare deny it. Honesty, last night Scotty was all but humping the damn table to get to you. Men are naturally drawn to you, like a lighthouse in pea green fog. So, if you’re going to blow smoke up my ass, you damn well better bend over, too.”
I couldn’t help but laugh. She’d always had a feisty side…like a little tornado. For years, she’d hidden it away, but it was back for the world to see. For a split second, I almost felt sorry for her two Doms. No, they knew exactly how to handle my spitfire sister, and they handled her with perfection.
As if sensing the coast was clear, Dylan and Nick joined us, announcing dinner was ready. Both men wrapped a protective arm around Sanna as we walked inside. Watching the special bond they shared, her question echoed in my brain: ‘Do you miss it…submission, I mean?’
Yes, Sanna I do, with every beat of my heart, but that’s one secret I’ll keep to myself.
Throughout the scrumptious dinner, I felt as if a great weight had been lifted off my shoulders. The food tasted richer, laughter sounded sweeter, and the outpouring of love between my sister and her Masters didn’t scrape my heart as deeply.
When the meal was done, Dylan turned to me, his expression bordering on concern.
“We’re going to take Savannah to the club for a bit this evening. You’re more than welcome to join us if you’d like.”
Darting a glance at my sister, I smiled as she nibbled her bottom lip.
“Thank you for the invitation, Dylan, but I think I’ll stay here and take care of some work I’ve been neglecting.”
