Chapter 38

She was still shaking. I swear if what Tyler did sends her back into the traumatized state that we found her in I really will kill him. "Dena," Jason said softly from the door. "Can I come in?"

I hesitated and looked at Trina. "Tree, sweetie, Jason is going to come in and he is going to carry you up to my room so we can take care of you. Is that okay?" I said everything softly and slowly so I didn't overwhelm her. After a long minute she nodded against my shoulder. "Come in Jase."

He approached us carefully so he didn't startled Trina. "Tree," he whispered, "I'm going to pick you up now, and I need you to put your arms around my shoulders." He slipped his arms around her and I helped place her arms. She whimpered when he lifted her up and I suppressed a growl. I am going to make Tyler suffer for this.

"Up to my room," I directed him leading the way after grabbing the kit he'd set down at the doorway.
