Chapter 27 (Sienna)


    I take out my jacket first andy it on the sand, bending down I remove my riding boots.


    My pants and t-shirt go next and I thank my fuckingmon sense that I wore an actual bra, and it is

    white and padded.


    I pull my panty right and I look at him, to find him staring at me. He studies me as he slips his shirt off


    and oh, fuck, all that is holy.


    Damn, he has a fantastic body. His tattoos are colorful and take up his entire torso.


    His body ispletely ripped and lean. He slips off his pants.


    “Don’t look at me like that, Sin,” He says and a rush of embarrassment turns my face crimson. I rush


    into theke.


    The water is clean as it sshes with my entry.


    I see the fish as I go deep and take a dip not thinking of the predator who is about to join me in deep


    waters.


    Killer enters as I turn to face him. He’s wearing a sleep shorts. I always took him as a Jockey’s man but


    then who really knows Kevin Stone. Sometimes I wonder if he even knew himself.


    “Let’s swim to the other side, I wanna show you something,” He gestures, and takes a deep dive into


    theke.


    I follow him as he swims ahead of me; trying not to notice his wet hair and the fact that we are


    swimming in ake. The two of us, alone.


    Could it be possible that Killer likes me? Surely not, he is the one who kicked me out of my hometown.


    Well, I did almost kill Diamonds dad and knock my cousin out, which thetter was a mistake.


    We swim for a while and my arms tire out. I worry about my breast milk. Surely this won’t affect my


    breast milk.


    I consider this until we stop and there is a line of sand and rocks preventing us from going to the other


    side. Guess theke ends here.


    Killer walks up to the side, and I follow him. He takes my hand and pulls me so I can follow him. His


    fingers are rough, he always had gigantic hands even as a boy.


    I let it slide and not think too much on it. We walk a bit and stop at the beginning of the river. He points


    to the other side and I follow his finger and I can’t help but startughing.


    “Can they see us?” I ask and start yelling and jumping. Killerughs, and it sounds foreign but


    weed in a way that my body gets flustered as I realize my boobs and ass are probably bouncing all


    over the show. But I am done caring about things like that. I had a kid and frankly my body still looked


    great.


    “They can’t see you, but good try.”


    “This ce is fantastic. A hidden gem,” I say.


    “It’s truly something. I’ll bring you one evening and we can make a fire and watch the nightlifee


    alive.” I hear him, but say nothing. All I can do is smile and enjoy the moment.


    He drops my hand and turns his back to me. I frown, because I have no idea what’s he looking at. I


    follow his gaze, but there is nothing but trees.


    He turns around, his face is closed off, which is a norm with Killer. But I get the sense something isn’t


    right.


    “I went to see Gabriel,” He says and I frown. Why he is telling me this. I didn’t want to hear about


    Gabriel, he left us so he can be a Mafia boss..


    “He spoke to his dad, and he called me today. His family is dead set on revenge. Aliyana’s hands are


    tied since your death doesn’t affect the good of the world.”


    “I already knew that,” And I did.


    “So you lied to me, why? Sienna, if they find you, it isn’t just you who is going to suffer, that boy, you


    love, he will never make it to see kinder garden.”


    “So what do you suppose I do? I fucked up, alright, but they were going to kill my sister. Do you think I


    don’t know she’s staying with your brother Michael? Do you honestly think they don’t know?”


    He pulls me close to him, and he considers me with harsh intent. He touches my scar on my stomach,


    the one Diamond left 10 years ago.


    “Do you remember what she did to you? Yet you still risk your fucking neck for her, why? I don’t get it


    Taylor.”


    I scream, “No.” And push him, he wisely lets me go.


    “Don’t fucking call me that, I love her alright. She’s my fucking sister. What more must I say? And I


    don’t give a fuck if we share blood or not,” I yell and I know I am scowling and throwing my hands


    everywhere. But he makes me so mad.


    “Say you’ll put that boy first from now. Tell me you will protect him and do what’s needed to keep him


    safe. Tell me, and fucking mean it,” Killer’s words hit me and I burst into tears.


    He pulls me close, holding me to his chest. He smells like dirt and sand, which reminds me of home,


    when things were simpler, and everyone just yed their part.


    I cry harder with how safe I feel being embraced by a lethal man, this one. Even if it is just for a


    moment.


    Sad thing is, I can’t remember thest time I was held in a man’s arms. Thest time was Gabriel’s,


    and I didn’t know it then, but it was thest hug I would ever get from him.


    Not sure my knowing would have made it sweeter, because his choices left a bitterness to every sweet


    moment we shared.


    Truth is, this moment with my tears falling down my face, in the arms of a killer, doesn’t bring any


    sweetness either. Killer is right, my kid needs me more than my sister and now is the time to finally let


    her go. I’m not sure if I can, but I am certain I'' can keep a promise to put my boys’ safety above all else.


    I nod my head, making a vow that from now I will keep my boy safe and put him first. Diamond needed


    to learn to keep herself safe from now. If she ever needed me, I’ll be there but not at the expense of


    Kaleb’s safety. Whether or not I want it, I am a mother now. And truth is, I want it.


    As much as I tried to protect the ones I loved, the price always cost me something. And with Diamond,


    the price was always high.
