She didn’t care that she clung to Rowan, was beyond being embarrassed now. But the coldness which enveloped her seeped into her bones and the powerful warmth of Rowan’s body soothed her like nothing else.
Rowan dipped her into the tub and she was reluctant to release her arms from around his neck. But the coolness of the water felt heavenly against her still burning ass and she allowed herself to sink in.
Cameron moved in behind her and gathered up her hair, which he then braided, in a style of knots she had never seen before.
She hadn’t paid much attention to the skill with which he had bound her before, but now she recognized that he had treated her long hair like the ropes he had used to tie her up.
She allowed herself to be bathed, patted dry, fed, and then put in a warm bed.
When they closed the door of the bedroom, silent tears rolled over her nose and dripped into her hair.
The next time she woke up, the sun hadn’t even properly risen yet. She had never in all her life been awake this early.
Anxiety hit her like a ton of boulders. What had she done?
They had used unfair methods to extract information from her and she caved like a weakling and gave them what they wanted.
If one of them went after Loaded Slayer, the deal would be off. Although he had told her not to find him. She wouldn’t succeed. He was protected by his bosses who were very dangerous men. She had concluded the business of blackmailing wealthy people was a lucrative endeavor and the people running the whole show were crime lords and generally unpleasant.
She had to believe that even if the Carter brothers passed on the name of her blackmailer to her brothers, Loaded Slayer would be hard to find. She had to believe him when he said he was protected. It wasn’t as if he worked in an office that they could just bombard. Everything was online. He told her Loaded Slayer was a once-off name too, which increased the chances of no one finding him.
Which meant she still had time to get to him. She still had a few days.
She had told them everything, well enough to appease them and her brothers so there was no reason she had to stay. They would get off her back and she could deal with it all by herself.
She sprang out of the bed, then groaned at her naked body. Then her gaze fell onto a few pieces of luggage that looked shockingly familiar.
Kneeling on the floor, she opened the first bag, then the second, and the third.
Clothes.
Her clothes.
She couldn’t understand why seeing something as immaterial as her clothes gave her such a rush of emotion that saw her sobbing as she hugged some of the dresses. Maybe because it reminded her of a different time of her life when she thought she still had a hope of surviving.
She found a note and cried again when she saw it was from Anna, her housekeeper back at the Gallagher ranch.
I know you’re going through something tough right now, but I saw no reason why you couldn’t go through it in your own style. The Carter brothers approved this by the way.
Love Anna.
P.S. I only packed you three bags because I didn’t want to press my luck. I would have sent you ten bags, you know that.
Sienna wiped at her tears and smiled.
“Thank you, Anna,” she said.
She didn’t need that many items of clothes but it was the thought that counted the most and she loved Anna for doing this for her.
She picked out her favorite pair of jeans, a comfortable but designer-labeled pair that was rolled up at her ankles. She paired that with a gold belt and a white silk vest. A pair of red stilettos and she would be on her way.
She almost cried again when she found all her cosmetics and her favorite underwear and sleepwear. Anna had thought of everything.
She took a semi-luxurious shower, because she didn’t have much time, and only allowed herself a quick apricot sugar scrub and a quick coffee facial exfoliate. She then dried her freshly washed hair with her blow-dryer that Anna had also sent and pulled her hair into a ponytail.
She refused to acknowledge that unwrapping her hair from the braids Cameron had given her had been one of the most sensual things she had done. She had touched her hair where he had touched her hair and the thought had her squeezing her thighs shut.
After some light makeup, and a spritz of her favorite perfume, she was ready to take on the Carter brothers. By the end of their conversation, she would be released and on her way back home where her real problems awaited her.
