Chapter Twenty-Two
Draven walked to the couch, smoothed down Sienna’s skirt, and then pulled the blanket over her.
She grabbed his arm when he went to stand. “Draven, I’m sorry for yelling at you.”
He sat on the low table in front of the couch and smiled. “I don’t like the fact you were hurting, but I enjoy it when you give me hell. Not many people are brave enough to do that. It doesn’t mean I’m not going to punish you, though.” He grinned.
She rolled her eyes and giggled. “I figured.”
“How’s she doing?”
Draven looked at the doorway. “Good. Her spunk is coming back already.”
Kane chuckled. “It doesn’t take long. Can you wait to give her your punishment?”
Draven looked down at her and grinned evilly. “Oh, yeah, it will give her time to wonder what I’m going to do.”
“You’re mean,” she whined.
He smoothed her hair and laughed. Then he stood and walked to the door.
“If there’s nothing else, I need to get to work, and I can tell you it’s going to be uncomfortable for what’s left of the day.”
He could tell Kane got what he meant, but Sienna looked confused until he pointed down to his groin. He laughed at the bright tide of red that covered her face when she saw his cock. It hadn’t been that hard in a long time, and it was going to take a bit to go away. Hell, if it was still hard by the time he got off work, he’d head out and grab a woman for the night. It had been a long time.
“Night, guys.”
Kane waved. “Thanks, man.”
“Always.” Draven made his way back to his office. He adjusted himself after he sat down. Damn, it was going to be a long-ass afternoon. He sighed and got back to work.

Kane pulled Sienna to his side as they made their way back up to their apartment.
He tried to be mad at her but couldn’t. He was the only person she truly trusted, but sometimes something happened that shook her up, and it made her want to run.
He pressed his lips to her temple. “You’ve got to promise me you won’t try to run again.”
She lifted her head, and he saw tears spilling down her face.
“Oh, baby. Everything’s going to be okay.” He hugged her tightly to his chest until the elevator doors opened. “Let’s go. I want a bath, and then I want to make love. How does that sound?”
“Perfect.”
Later that night, Kane held Sienna as she slept. In a short amount of time, this little bitty woman had become his world, and he couldn’t fathom a life without her. The thought of being without her made him sick, and he would do anything to prevent it from happening.
He shushed her when she whimpered in her sleep.
“Everything’s okay, love.” And it was. She was in his arms, and that was all he needed.
Kane pressed a kiss to her forehead and smiled as he slid into sleep. “You’ll always be mine. Always.”
