“You’re on the DA’s watch list. Stay here. Stay low. That’s my professional advice.” The lawyer is a no-nonsense man. In a sharp suit and with even sharper deep brown eyes, he’s laid out everything for Seth and me.

“I understand.” Seth’s response is professional even though he’s dressed in plaid flannel pants and a white t-shirt, both of which he slept in, and his lower right jaw is still bruised. The two of them are at complete odds in appearance, but one hundred percent in agreement on what happened.

I was meant to be leverage to get an in for the judge to take down the Cross brothers. They didn’t care about the cop. This wasn’t the first time the cop cut through red tape and was caught doing things he shouldn’t have been. They knew. They withheld information in order to charge me.

My mind has wandered most of the meeting. It’s late and I’m still tired. I don’t think I slept for very long in that room with Seth. I’ve never been one to be happily woken up from sleep but hearing Seth tell me softly that we could leave? My eyes jolted open at that and I got my ass moving, still half asleep, just to get out of there.

“Always a pleasure,” Seth says and the two men stand, the lawyer giving a polite laugh to the joke. They’re shaking hands by the time I stand up and I reach out my own. Mr. Grayson’s hair is swept back on the top and short on the sides. He has a look to him that’s nothing but clean cut. He even apologized to me when he used profanity.

I don’t know how he got involved with the Cross brothers and Seth, but I’m grateful for him and his insight. There’s no way the case will stay open. He’s sure of it.

Seth’s arm wraps around my lower back as he walks the lawyer to the door, smiling while the lawyer insists that I’ll be fine now that the investigation regarding the cop truly has no legs to stand on. It seems easy enough, case closed, but from the look in Seth’s eye, the way the smile on his face is only polite like the lawyer’s laugh, he’s hiding something. And the second the door closes, I turn in his embrace, take a step back and question him.

“Why is he saying it’s over and done, yet you’re acting like it’s not?”

Seth’s jaw is lined with a rough coat of stubble. It’s dark and combined with the bruise, his charming look is gone. He’s rough and deadly but even still, the smirk he gives me and the gentle peck he places on my lips make him nothing but the man I remember him to be.

I’m a hair’s breadth away from laying into him for not answering me, but he does. Honestly, and it makes a part of me wish he had lied. “Because it’s not over.”

“Legally—”

“Legally, we have nothing to worry about,” he agrees with me, cutting me off and using his other arm to pull me into him.
