I shoved it into my own pant pocket and headed for the window.
It didn’t take much to shove the screen out roughly and climb onto the ledge. The roof sloped beneath my feet, and I found a purchase before slipping the window closed again and sliding downward.
When I reached the gutters, I turned and allowed myself to ease down the roof before dropping to the ground and rolling onto my feet with all the agility of my years of training.
Now all I needed to do was test how quickly his team’s response time was.
Because if there was anything that was going to happen after I finally killed Dante, it wasn’t getting caught by his damn lapdogs and dragged off to some chamber where I’d be tortured to death.
No, I needed to figure out just how proficient they were at tracking someone down when they were least expecting to.

Dante
I took my time in the shower.
I’d seen her through the cracked door, staring as if she’d see something more interesting than my bare back.
I washed every inch of my blood-splattered body, watching it cloud the water and pull down the drain. My mind reeled around Sienna and all the mixed signals she’d given. The more I thought I understood her, the more she proved me wrong.
She hadn’t noticed the blood.
I didn’t understand how.
I didn’t understand anything about the woman waiting for me, but I would. I’d need to understand her before deciding what to do. Until I could be sure she wasn’t a threat, she wasn’t going anywhere.
It took only a few moments more to finish washing. I tied the towel loosely around my waist and turned to the door with a smirk.
I hoped to see her cheeks reddening from the sight of me bare-chested and damp.
I pushed through the door and froze.
Sienna didn’t stand where I left her. She wasn’t on the bed, and I rushed to the closet, finding it empty, too. There was no way she’d make it out of the house when all the guards were aware of her situation, but my heart pounded faster as I opened my bedroom door and stepped outside.
At the top of the stairwell, right where I’d posted him, stood one of the dozen guards.
“Did she come out here?” I asked.
“The girl?”
From the confusion in his eyes, I knew the answer. I stepped back into my room and slammed the door. There was no way out. It was the reason I’d chosen a room on the second floor rather than the first. She’d have to get by a half dozen guards just to leave the house, and then she’d have to get by the rest of them outside. The only possible way out was…
No fucking way.
I strode toward the window and slammed it open, peering outside.
The screen had been shoved off the window and lay haphazardly on the roof.
Sienna was nowhere in sight.
“You’re fucking kidding me,” I shouted.
I called Justin, my most proficient tech guy, and put the phone on speaker as I rushed to my closet and grabbed the first shirt in sight.
To no surprise, Justin answered within the first three rings. “Dante, what can I do for you?”
“Put all the other work aside and get on this shit now,” I demanded, slipping the soft cotton tee over my head. “I need you to track a girl for me. She just left my house, and I don’t know where she’s going.”
