Chapter 40: Unspoken Fears
Sienna's gaze was still on me, her uncertainty hanging in the air like a tightrope. I noticed thanks to my skills that her fingers were gently grasping the edge of the blanket we shared and that she biting the inside of her cheek before she eventually spoke.
"Do you..." she trailed off, then took a breath. "Do you plan on getting other women?"
I blinked. That... was not what I expected.
A beat of silence passed before I sighed. "Is this about Camille and her teasing?"
She hesitated, then gave a small nod. "Yeah."
While I was thinking about my reply, I started reclining on the couch. Camille had always been devious with her words. The remark she made were always vague enough to cause a little bit of chaos. However, I didn't think that Sienna would ever take them to heart.
"Do you want me to tell her to stop?" I asked.
"No!" she replied, perhaps a bit too hastily. Then, as if acknowledging her own urgency, she coughed and turned her gaze. "I guess... it's okay. I'm not particularly bothered."
Something about the way she said it made my brows furrow.
"You don't mind?" I echoed.
She glanced at me, then shrugged. "Not really. I don't mind sharing you."
