Tanner

“Okay. Spill. What’s bothering you?” Her mood was so up and down I was having a hard time keeping up. I supposed it was my fault she was like this, but it was still as frustrating as hell. She looked down at our hands, fingers still laced together as we remained seated in the gazebo.

She chewed at her lower lip and looked up to meet my gaze, uncertainty in her eyes. “I’m just… I’m worried about Victoria.”

I bit back a string of curses. Fuck, I’d finally gotten rid of her and she was still haunting us. Fuck and double fuck. I forced myself to keep my temper in check. “What do you mean by worried?”

She shrugged. “Are they going to hurt her?”

With a sigh, I gave her hand a reassuring squeeze. I’d told her this was her night. If she wanted to waste it focusing on Victoria, well, whatever. Let her waste it. “I didn’t sell Victoria to the highest bidder.”

Cocking her head to the side, she eyed me, her gaze displaying her confusion. “Why not?”

“I didn’t sell her to the highest bidder for you. I know the reputations of the men who were at auction, most of whom have been my business associates for many years. The highest bidder has a tendency to be hard on his slaves, some would say sadistic. I chose who I’d sell her to. It was actually the fourth highest bidder, who I might had add paid a significantly lower amount then the highest, but I sold her to him because he treats his girls well. I assure you, Victoria is going to have a decent life with him. Much better then she had before I took her, I can promise you that. She won’t be free, but she’ll be cared for.”

She stared at me for a moment, but finally, thankfully, she smiled. She didn’t wait for my response. Leaning in to me she placed a soft, delicate kiss on my cheek. “Thank you, Tanner.”

It wasn’t often I received tenderness like I’d just encountered from her. If I were to be completely honest with myself, it was the first time since my parents had passed. I wasn’t sure what to think. Her gesture wasn’t that of a mindless drone that I’d created, but of her free will, despite knowing what I was and what I’d done to her. I really wasn’t sure what to make of it.

She stood. “Can we go see the dogs now?”

“Yeah.”
