Chapter 14

“Mom! Hold on! Dad! I’m coming! I’m coming!”

Nerina woke with a scream on her lips and a warm hand against her belly holding her in place. She thrashed against her would be attacker. But the hand holding her down spanned her entire stomach and gripped her with brutal strength.

“Calm Caterpillar, no one here is going to harm you.” The deep voice soothed. Nerina’s eyes peeled open and in the dark she could see the club owner Blue. He was staring down at her with intense eyes.

“How long have I been out?”

“Couple of hours.” The accent in his voice was more pronounced as he spoke slowly to her.

“My throat’s dry, I need some water.” Residual effects of her nightmare. She either woke up in her own sweat, or parched as of if her throat was burned. Her host produced a tall glass of water from the bedside stand. The room she was currently in was fit for a queen, or even mistress of the universe it was so immaculate. Accepting the water, Nerina emptied the glass.

“Quite the dream Caterpillar.”

“Yeah, well, my dreams are my own big guy. Mind giving me some privacy.” It wasn’t a question.

Blue’s blonde hair moved with his nod as he stood and backed away from the bed. The pressure from his hand on her stomach easing, reminding her of just how strong he was. The bedroom door closed with a decisive click. Throwing back the covers, Nerina jumped out of bed and quickly ran to the restroom where she could empty the contents of her stomach.

At least the plumbing is inside. Well, there was that. The water was a welcomed wake-up as she splashed her face and rinsed her mouth. Shower. That’s what you need is a shower. Yes! A Shower. She’d seen the robe lying across a chaise lounge, and decided now was the perfect time to detox via hot spray. There were times when she couldn’t stand to be near anything hot. There were also times when she needed the heat to be reminded of all she’d lost. Mother. Father. All in one night. She didn’t even get to say goodbye.

Damn. Suck it up girl.

Pulling in a deep breath she stripped, hit the knob all the way to the right and waited for the spray to heat before stepping in. The water was a balm to her skin, but a knife to her soul. It was a horrid kind of therapy but it worked. Muscles sore, Nerina washed from head to toe, wishing she could scrub the images and sounds out of her mind of that horrid event. Everything was vivid, raw. If she closed her eyes she could smell her burnt flesh as it peeled from her body in strips exposing muscle and nerve. Instinctively she touched her lower back. Smooth skin greeted her fingertips as suds sluiced down her body. Gone. The scars were gone. No sign that she was ever burned at all. Nothing to physically remind her of all she lost.
