Theadora kneeled at my feet. “Hey, what’s happened?”
Tears spewed out uncontrollably.
“I’ve got myself into a fucking predicament.”
Her brow pinched, and she pulled up a chair and took hold of my hand. “What’s happened?”
“I’ve just asked Ethan and Declan to meet me outside, only I’m ashamed to tell them what’s happened to me.” My voice trembled as I stifled a sob.
“If it would make things better, you can tell me. It won’t leave this room.”
Her understanding and gentle tone helped me calm down. Theadora had become a role model. That sister I’d never had. And someone I’d grown to love and respect.
“There’s this sex tape.” I knitted my fingers to stop them from shaking.
“Are you being blackmailed?”
I nodded. “It’s what’s on the tape that’s freaking me out. It’s so humiliating.”
“Why don’t you just pay him off?” She rose. “Come on, let’s fix your face. And look, I’m sure Declan and Ethan won’t force you to share all the details, but they will know what to do.”
I sighed heavily and nodded. “I just hope they don’t ask what’s on the tape.”
I had to tell someone, or I’d burst.
“Does it show footage of you having sex?” she asked delicately.
I tissued the mascara off my cheeks and fixed my eye makeup with my finger.
“I was at a party that had descended into an orgy of sorts. We’d all taken E’s.” I swallowed tightly. “I ended up in a bedroom with Bram, who seemed to take delight in watching me…” I stammered. Theadora was family and not Jacinta or Sienna, who loved talking about sex in all its shades of wantonness.
“So, with more than one man?”
Her delicate tone encouraged me. “Two men and a woman. She went down on me, while I blew one guy, and the other jerked off.” I released the breath trapped in my chest. “No fucking detail spared.”
Theadora looked justifiably shocked. “Who shot it?”
“Bram.”
Her jaw dropped. “Ew.”
I nodded. “He’s pretty fucking sick.”
“There’s absolutely nothing that Declan can’t solve,” she said, leading me out by the hand.
“He’s the family hero, all right. Ethan’s pretty good too.” I gulped back another lump.
We stepped out into the crowded room to find Bram yelling at the croupier. His father had to drag him outside.
“Oh, shit,” I muttered.
Theadora returned a sad smile. “Hey, why don’t we go through the back? That way, you don’t have to interact with him.”
“I’m so glad you’re here, Thea.” A smile quivered on my lips.
I followed her through the back, where a security guard opened the door for us to pass.
When I removed my shoes because of the hill before us, Theadora followed suit. I raised her train so that it wouldn’t soil, and she grasped onto it.
