"Remember this the next time you eventhinkabout putting your hands on a woman."
I spit on his crumpled body before walking back to my car, casually climbing inside, and driving back to Sienna.
I walked through the door to her apartment and jumped as I spotted her sitting there in the dimly lit living room, her arms crossed with a disapproving look on her face as if I was a teenager trying to sneak in after curfew and she was the dutiful parent waiting to strike the moment I got home.
"Where were you?" she said in quiet anger.
"None of your damn business."
"Alex," her eyes widened.
She jumped up from the couch and ran to me. I wasn't sure what she was doing until she grabbed my cut and bruised hands in hers.
She turned my hands over and back again as she studied them before looking up at me with wide-eyed horror. "What did you do?"
"I'm a man of my word, Sienna. When I say I'm going to do something, I do it."
Her eyes widened to the size of saucers as she gasped, releasing my hands, and stepping back from me.
"Please, tell me you didn't. Tell me you didn't..." her voice trailed off as if she couldn't even put her fears into words.
"He's still breathing," I grumbled with little enthusiasm for the fact but glad that I was able to assuage her fears.
Sienna's shoulders slouched as she blew out a rush of air.
"So, you didn't..."
"Oh, he'll probably wish that he was dead in the morning after the beating I gave him. But no, he'll live. And more importantly, he'll think twice before putting his hands on a woman again."
Her fears calmed, Sienna scoffed and shook her head at me, but her face was lighter.
"Come on. Let’s get you cleaned up."
She led me to the bathroom and had me sit on the toilet lid while she pulled out an extensive first aid kit.
She had gauze, disinfectant, ointments, bandages, and even suture kits.
She wet a washcloth and lowered herself onto her knees in front of me. Anddamnif it wasn't one of the sexiest things I'd ever seen, looking at her on her knees looking up at me with those beautiful big brown eyes. It made my mind run wild with possibilities.
I fought the arousal starting to grow, trying to focus instead on the burn of my hands as she began gently cleaning the blood and dirt from my cuts. I winced at a particularly tender spot, and she looked up at me so sweetly that it was everything I could do not to lean forward and kiss her.
"Sorry. I'm trying to be gentle."
"It's fine, doc. I've had a lot worse." My voice sounded gruff, and I cleared my throat.
"I can imagine." She went back to cleaning the cuts on my hands. "So, you really found my ex and beat him up?"
"Yeah. Carbone won't be hurting another woman anytime soon."
She stopped and looked up at me with wide eyes, her jaw slacked. "Carbone? My ex's name was Gallo."
"Fuck." The blood drained from my face.Had I really beaten up the wrong man?
I looked up at her in shock. Suddenly, her eyes twinkled, and the corner of her plump, sexy lips twitched. Just as my suspicions grew, her lips turned up into a full grin.
"You little liar. Oh, you really had me going." I let out a chuckle and shook my head.
Sienna went into a full-on laughing fit, nearly falling over from her spot on the floor.
