“Thanks, Simon.”

“I should be thanking you.” He hugged me.

CHAPTER 31

Morgan

I sat in the ER room with Roman when his brothers ran in.

“Bro, what the fuck.” Julian and Parker ran over to his bed.

“I’m fine,” Roman said.

“He has a concussion. They’re going to keep him overnight for observation,” I told them.

“Our moms are on their way,” Julian said.

“And I called Dad. He’s on his way too,” Parker spoke.

“Great.” Roman sighed. “The four of them in the same room together is never good. You two know that.”

Dr. Grayson Kind walked in. “Roman, your room is ready. They’ll take you up now.”

“Do I really have to stay the night?”

“Yeah. I’m afraid you do. You have a concussion, and you’re pretty bruised up. It’s just a precaution.”

After Roman was situated in his room and his brothers and parents left, I held his hand.

“You look exhausted. Go home and get some sleep,” Roman said.

“I’m not going anywhere. I’m staying with you.” I brought my other hand and placed it on his cheek. “By the way. I’m accepting your job offer.” I smiled.

“Good, but you didn’t have a choice anyway.”

“What do you mean?” I lightly laughed.

“There was no way I was letting you leave Los Angeles.”

“Is that so?” The corners of my mouth curved upward.

“Yes. Even if I had to tie you to the bed and keep you as my prisoner.”

“You still can.” I grinned.

“Now is not the time to be talking like that.” He tried to chuckle, but it hurt. “I love you, Morgan Ashley.”

“I love you too, Roman Hamilton.” I leaned over and brushed my lips against his.

The following day, he was discharged, and Ollie drove us home, but not before stopping at the Marriott so I could check out and collect my things. There was a knock at the door. Opening it, Simon stood there.

“Hey, Simon. Come on in.”

“Thanks. Roman, how are you, my man?”

“Sore, but I’m okay.”

“I wanted to let you know, Morgan, that Agent Weathers is going away for life. We got the ballistics report back, and the bullets that killed your father matched his gun. Also, he threw his ex-partner under the bus.”
