Chapter Six

Sara fought against the bindings, screaming for both men to stop.

“Sara, it’s all right. Everything’s all right.” Ethan pressed his chest against her back, no doubt trying to make her feel safe, but it only added to the cloying desperation and fear choking her.

“Master!” The word dragged out in a mournful wail as she called after the only man who’d been willing to face her pain.

Ethan released one wrist and she clawed at the other binding. Confusion blinded her. She fought desperately against the sexual haze of endorphins and adrenaline, trying to figure out how everything had gone so horribly wrong.

“Sara, you’re safe. He can’t hurt you. There’s no need to fight.”

“Let me go!” As soon as the binding relaxed, she ripped her hand free and pushed away from the mirror, trying to get away from Ethan. “He needs me.”

“No.” He twisted her to face him. Even if his fingers hadn’t been digging into her shoulders, Ethan’s commanding voice alone would have stopped her cold. “You don’t owe him anything.” The ebony eyes raking her face glistened with pain. “Thank God I got here when I did.” He looked down her body, both of them seeing the blood that coated her legs. “Jesus, I thought he knew better. I’m sorry, Sara. So very sorry. I didn’t mean for it to happen again.”

“No, the blood…it was an accident—”

“This kind of behavior is no accident, Sara. I heard your cries from the beach for chrissake.”

Ethan had misunderstood her pleas—but not Derek.

Derek had known what she needed and been brave enough to push at the final anchor holding her in the past. He’d seen her reaction to being called beautiful—Marc’s public command of absolute obedience—and had insisted she face it, to feel safe when she said it. Both of them understood that. Sara just hadn’t been ready to believe Derek was strong enough to hold back the wash of memories that would come when she pulled down that last barrier. She saw that now.

But she’d been wrong.

As clearly as the sound of the retreating Jet Ski carrying Derek away, Sara knew he’d delivered her safely through hell’s fires unscathed. She felt the truth of it kiss her unchained heart. Even as the burden of her past lifted, leaving her feeling lightheaded and free, she suffered the hollow emptiness of her Master’s abandonment. Her shoulders sagged with the loss.

“Sara?”

“Derek did it,” she said quietly, forcing her gaze to meet Ethan’s concerned expression. “He pushed and refused to take ‘no’ for an answer.”

Ethan pulled her into a fierce hug. “I know. I’m sorry. He’s too green. I shouldn’t have sent him here.”

A hoarse laugh escaped over the absurdity of the situation and the giddy happiness of realizing with Derek’s help, she’d purged herself of Marc’s ghost. “I do love you, Ethan, but sometimes even you are a blind ass.”

He set her away from him, gauging her sanity, and she laughed again.

“Trust me when I say, you sent the perfect Dom for the job.” She pushed out of his arms and spun so Ethan could examine all of her.
