Sienna Asma

Can't Be Erased

Theodore

I watch Sienna walk in with a smile small. Her eyes meet mine before they flit away. A thrill shoots through me for the first time in forever. No one, and I mean no one, has been timid around me. The guys treat me like a doll and Gina steps all over me. Lisa has always treated me like a baby so that doesn't feel different.

Sienna watching me like I'm a lion ready to pounce feels good. It reminds me of my old self and I find myself smiling happily at her.

"What's up, babygirl?" I open my arms and she walks into them.

She clings to me like a lifeline that has me wondering about what happened last night. I know she went to Cole's room and we all left them alone. We've been through hell and back. Only one-on-one time with Sienna can heal us fully.

"Hey, don't cry," I pull back and grab her face. "It's okay. We're all together now." I give her a bigger smile and she frowns.

"I can see the sadness in your eyes Theo. Just because I'm alive doesn't mean the past year of pain for you didn't happen," my smart and sweet girlfriend points out. My face relaxes into its pained state with the knowledge of me not having to hide from Sienna.

Tears form and I make no move to wipe them. She doesn't either. Her eyes water and we stare at each other with sad smiles.

"I missed you so much, Sienna," I croak out.

Her soft hands rub my cheek but she doesn't say anything.

"I begged for you Sienna. I tried to keep you alive. But... I'm weak. I'm so weak and I can't do anything. I couldn't stop you from dying and I couldn't stop our men from falling apart. I couldn't stop myself from falling apart. I am so sorry." Sobs fall from my mouth and Sienna wraps her arms around me. Her arms are small, but strong. She squeezes tight as though she'd be able to keep me together.

"Theo I-I am so sorry. You're not weak. If you didn't cry and didn't feel pain, then you'd be weak. Because feeling pain and moving through it makes you strong. Okay, Theo? You're strong. You're one of the strongest people I know and I thank you so much for trying to save me. You lowered yourself to begging for me and I'm so grateful for it. It takes a strong person to beg." She pulls back with a wet face and puffy eyes. "I love you, Master," she mumbles against my lips. "I love you."

"I love you too, Sienna. So, so much." My hands frame her face and she grins at me. I can see mischief in her eyes that has me getting excited. I won't act on it yet though. "Tell me you have no more Masters. Tell me you have no more enemies."

I need to know that our future is safe and probable. I need to know that no one will come for Sienna and we'll live happily ever after. I need a happy ending.

"No enemies that I know of," she smiles big as she says this. My heart relaxes at knowing we're safe. "And you're the only Master I have."

My heart picks up speed and I flip us around so she's laying under me and I'm covering my body with hers.

My lips connect with her and she kisses back passionately, meeting each stroke of my tongue. "I'm a bit out of shape," I say against her lips.

"So am I." Her eyes sparkle and I chuckle against her.

"Say you won't leave me," I demand as my lips move to her neck. I've missed the soft skin so much.

"I won't leave you," she moans.

"Stay, forever," I demand again.

"Forever," she gasps when my hands graze her bare stomach.

"Forever and always," I look her deep in the eyes when I say this.
