He pushed me through a door and moved through it himself but turned toward the wall.
Milly and Candy met us at the door. Milly let me away, and Candy took Ethan somewhere but everything happened so fast, I wasn't sure which way was up.
I wiped the tears again. "Listen, you guys have been great. I don't need a shower or a bath or whatever. Please just give me my things and let me go home."
"You heard her." I heard Mistress Vivienne’s fan snap against her hand before I saw her sweep into the room in one of her ball gowns. Milly disappeared and Mistress lifted my chin with the tip of her fan.
I sniffled. "Did you know he was my boss?"
Her composure broke for a fraction of a second before she forced her mask back on and pursed her lips. “I did not my child. I am so sorry. Milly will help you get dressed and the car is ready to take you home.” She pulled out a cotton handkerchief from the bodice of her dress and handed it to me. "I will have someone check on you soon"
I wanted to say no, but this wasn't her fault, so I just nodded. Five minutes later, I was in the back of the town car headed home with my world burning down around me.
I don't remember the drive, but the back door opening started me. I'd cried the whole way home. Never had I felt so betrayed.
A hand gripped mine and pulled me out of the car. I didn't fight it. There was no fight in me.
"Come here," Micah said, pulling me to him.
"What are you doing here?"
He tipped my chin so our gazes met. "I'm your everything-goes-south contact, remember."
My lip quivered, my body shook as I wrapped my arms around his neck and bawled. He picked me up in a bridal carry and took me to my apartment, into my bathroom. Noah sat on the edge of the tub lighting a few candles.
"I'll get out of your way. I'll make sure you have snacks set up." Noah kissed Micah on the cheek before leaving.
"I don't need this.” I wave around, sniffling.
He stepped up to me and took my face in his hands. "Some things about kink are non-negotiable and aftercare is one of them."
I shoved him.
"Did he call you?"
Micah raised his hands in surrender. "Mistress called. Said you had a bad session and you needed your friends. That's all the info I got."
Well, I felt stupid. I went to take my T-shirt off and my legs started to give way. Micah caught me before I hit the floor andset me on the edge of the tub before crouching down. "Can I help?"
I nodded.
"Mira, sweetheart, I need you to say the words." He brushed the hair out of my face.
"Yes."
He smiled and turned off the water before he helped me undress and get situated in the water.
I sniffled. "Which one of you gets the bath?"
He laughed as he grabbed my lotion and paid close attention to the marks on my wrists.
Chuckling, he massaged circles into my wrists. "Both"
I laid my head on the back of the tub and let my friend take care of me while I came to grips that the two men that had been pulling me in two different directions was not only the same man but he'd been playing me the whole time.
