Author's Note: Okay, wow, that was harsh. The next few chapters are going to be Sheamus getting to know more about Lynn, well Domina really and also them dealing with the aftermath of what happened.
Curled around herself Lynn let out a scream that was full of rage, pain and something she couldn't even begin to describe. Natalya backed away from the woman on the floor; never had she seen her friend so out of control. She knew that Lynn had given up Domina to be with Sheamus and she admired that kind of love and dedication. She was also glad that the room they were in was sound proof because had anyone else heard that scream the police probably would have been called. Unsure of what to do she grabbed a silk robe and gently set it around her shoulders. The minute she felt Natty's hands on her shoulders she collapsed into her friends arms.
"They tortured him Nat." she sobbed, "They beat him and took something I don't know if I can ever replace."
Natalya held her friend and let her cry. She knew Randy and Hunter would have Sheamus in the tub by now and he'd be soaking for a while; the door cracked open but Lynn didn't stir, but Natty looked up and Randy stood there.
"Is she okay?" he asked softly, crouching down beside the two women.
"No," Natty answered, "I think her heart is broken."
Sheamus soaked in large bathtub he loved in their penthouse suite. He was so glad to be home. Hunter told him that he'd been at that club for almost four days and he shuddered to think about what Lynn had gone through during those days without him. Hunter also told him that he had forbidden her, as her boss, to call the police. Sheamus understood and as he watched the older man watching him soaking in the warm, scented water he wondered what his relationship with Lynn was.
"Hunter, can I ask you something?" he asked, closing his eyes and breathing in the lavender and mint scented water, he'd seen the bundles floating the water earlier.
"You can, but you might not like the answer." Hunter said honestly, stopping and crouching near Sheamus. "It's about Domina isn't it?"
"Yeah." Sheamus nodded, feeling the heat seeping into his muscles. "Why do you call her Domina?"
"You had to go straight for it, huh?" Hunter sat down and looked at Sheamus, "Are you sure you want to know?"
Sheamus opened his eyes and stared into Hunter's hazel gaze, "Yeah, I'm sure."
Hunter sighed, "I went to Demon's Run one night, had no idea what I was getting into. I had a couple of women trying to seduce me and there she was. She walked up to them and told them that I was taken and for them leave me alone." Hunter shook his head. "Steph and I hadn't been a married long but I was a bit of a jerk. Domina took me to her table and told me she knew who I was and that if I did her favours from time to time she wouldn't tell Steph about me showing up to an S&M club."
"So you two were never…" Sheamus asked, not able to finish the question.
"No Sheamus, no one that serves her currently has ever had more than a friendship and deep respect for Lynn." Hunter told him, "She has always been a one lover woman, when she met you she was single and you showed her things that she'd never experienced as Domina, that's why she gave it up. Domina was so well known that it would have ruined her if it got out that she was the submissive in a relationship."
Sheamus nodded, "I understand." He said, "What she did tonight, why did she do that?"
"We tried to talk her out of it." Hunter sighed again, "She felt it was the only way to get you out of there safely."
"That poem she recited, is that why the bar is called Demon's Run?"
"Yeah, it's also the rule that if someone has been betrayed, they quote the poem and no one will interfere;" Hunter answered, "you were allowed to speak tonight because you are Domina's and she was avenging you."
"She's an incredible woman." Sheamus said.
"You have no idea." Hunter replied and left the room.
