Page 29 of Protecting Siena

Every day, Siena and I have talked and I know that today is the day that she is getting married to that bastard Tony. She hasn’t been left alone for more than twenty minutes at a time since I was over there, and it’s killing me to know that she is going to be married to him in less than an hour. She called me when they stuck her in the changing room, and she cried the whole time. Her hormones are all out of whack, but I know how much she doesn’t want to go through with this. She begged me to come get her.

She also told me that her brother actually attacked her the other day because he was mad about her being pregnant with my child. Her father and Gully had to pull him off of her. She sent me a picture of the bruise on her neck from where he grabbed her. I don’t really know the kid, but his temper seems to be getting worse every day.

I’ve tried to come up with every plan possible to get her out of there before the marriage, but nothing works. I scoped the place out a few minutes ago and there are guards everywhere. There is not one place that doesn’t have someone watching. The only person I know won’t turn me is in Gully, and he’s on the door to the room she’s in.

Sneaking through the back door as one of the guys went to take a piss, I make my way through the hallways until I find the room that she’s getting ready in. I see Gully, and he motions for me to come through the door. “She’s in there. If anyone sees you, you better get the fuck out of here. There are strict rules stating that if you’re seen, you are to be shot.” I nod and thank him before slipping into the room with Siena.

She doesn’t turn at first, but when I clear my throat, she gets up and runs over to me. “Oh my God, Sloane!” She slams into me and I keep us both upright.

“Hey Princess. I told you I’d come for you.” She wraps her arms around my neck and she gives me a big squeeze.

She’s in a white dress that looks like it’s from the eighties. It’s fucking ugly. “Baby, sorry to tell you, but that dress is fucking ugly.”

She wrinkles her nose and then smiles. “I think so, too. It was the dress my mother wore when she married daddy.”

Grabbing her hand, I lead her towards the door and Gully says the coast is clear. We both come out of the room and he looks me dead in the eye. “You need to make it look like I didn’t help you.” I know what he’s saying, but I hate to do this.

Releasing Siena’s hand, I cock my fist back and hit Gully as hard as I can. He falls to the ground and he’s out cold. Siena gasps, but I cover her mouth and pull her with me towards the way I came in. I can see the doors, but before we can get there, Xavier moves in front of them with a gun pointed right at me.

“Siena, get away from him.” Xavier demands. She tightens her grip on my hand and stands in front of me.

“No.” Her voice is defiant and I can see the rage as it crosses his features. He’s pissed, and I know that I’m the reason for it.

“Siena!” He demands. She doesn’t move and when he comes at her, I pull her behind me and hit his hand so hard that it breaks, knocking the gun to the floor. Siena grabs it and points it at her father.

He screams out in pain, but she never moves to help him. People start filling the halls, but no one comes closer to us. “I’m leaving with Sloane. I’m finally putting my foot down. I don’t want any of this life. I want to live a life without the guns and death that we have been surrounded with since I can remember. This baby deserves that.” She looks at her father and he goes to stand up, cupping his wrist with his good hand.

“You are a fucking disgrace to this family. You fucked the help and wound up pregnant. You can run away, but you’ll never be able to hide from me.” He sneers. Her finger looks like it’s about to pull the trigger. A million different scenarios are running through my head right now, but none of them end well.

“Sloane and I are leaving and you’re never going to find us.” She sounds determined, and I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure that’s true.

I watch as Xavier moves out of the way and motions for the guards to do the same. As we walk past him, he puts his fingers on his good hand into a gun shape and acts like he pulls the trigger at me. We walk quickly out of the building and I all but drag her to my car. Helping her in, I shut the door and then get in the driver’s side.

“Siena, we have to disappear. Are you sure this is what you want?” I start the car and we take off like the devil is chasing us. Last night I packed all my stuff and put it in the trunk just so we could get the fuck of town quickly.

She reaches across and grabs my hand. “Yes. I want you and this baby. I’ll do whatever it takes.”

“I know this is going to be hard, but you have to cut ties with everyone. It’s just going to be you and me. That’s it. New names, new identities, new everything.” She nods her head and rests her head against the headrest.

“Sloane?” She asks. When I look over at her, she asks her question. “Are you doubting everything? Is that why you’re asking?”

“Never baby, I just don’t want you to regret anything. You’re running away with a guy who wasn’t even wanted by his own parents, there isn’t much I can offer you, but I can love you both.”

She grins and pulls my hand up to her mouth. “Only if you promise to treat me the way you always have.” Shaking my head at her, I agree.

“That is definitely something I can do. You want an asshole with a dirty mouth, you can have him.” She grins at me and I feel like I’m making the right decision. Never in my life has anything ever felt as fucking right as being with her does. She’s going to want to fucking kill me ninety percent of the time, but I’m sure she wouldn’t have it any other way.

After driving for hours, I finally pull into some shitty ass hotel that looks like it won’t cost an arm and a leg. I’m trying to conserve as much money as I can until we can find somewhere to settle in. I told Siena to pick a place on the map and thats where we were going; she picked California. So, we’re heading to some small little town off the main drags and she is pretty damn excited.

Once I get the room squared away, I go back to the car and pick up Sleeping Beauty. Carrying her to the room, I open the door and close it behind me. Locking all the locks, I walk her over to the bed and gently set her down.

She’s beautiful, even when she’s asleep. Her eye lashes are fluttering almost like she dreaming and I can’t help but smile. She’s everything I could have wanted in a woman, and I’m glad that my life led me right to her. Sitting on the end of the bed, I pull my boots off, followed by my shirt. When I look back at her, her eyes have opened and she has a sleepy little grin on her lips.

“Where are we?” She yawns and sits up to stretch. I watch as the tee shirt I bought her earlier stretches across her chest. Her tits are starting to get a little bigger and I have to say I love her being pregnant.

“We are just outside of town. Tomorrow we need to find somewhere to stay.” Her face lights up and she crawls over to me and straddles my lap.

“So we are here? We are in our new hometown?” I nod and she slams her mouth onto mine and kisses me deeply.
