CHAPTER 19

Grayson

Sunlight peeks through the sheer curtains as I slowly open my eyes. Glancing down next to me, I find Liv sleeping soundly. She looks every bit of the angel she is, with her head buried in the crook of my shoulder and an arm draped over my stomach. Heat invades my blood as I remember last night. Jesus, the way she felt beneath me and how she fell apart from the lightest touch of my fingers… It has me dying to know what she’ll be like when I take all of her.

I had no intention of doing any of that when I brought her to bed. I only wanted her to feel safe so she could sleep but when she begged me to touch her—I was fucking done for. After last night I realize it’s time to take this to the next level. With everything that’s happened I’ve been taking things slow, not wanting to rush or scare her. Last night proved she’s as ready as I am, which is why I’ve made the decision to take her to the cabin for a few days—if she’ll come.

I want to get her away from all this bullshit before the trial starts. Hell, I want to get away from it. After what I witnessed yesterday, I know shit is only going to get worse before it gets better, and I need to decide how the hell I’m going to handle Prichard. No way am I going to let him get away with what he pulled. He can’t be trusted and shouldn’t be on the force. I just need to figure out how to tell Dixon that.

While sitting at Clover Hill for hours yesterday, trying to clear my head, I thought about what my father would do, how he would handle this. His last words continued to echo in my mind…

Seek the truth and you will find justice.

It’s exactly what I’m going to do, not only regarding Prichard but Liv’s case, too. I will find out who else was there, and I’ll find the evidence needed to put West away along with everyone else.

With or without the badge, I will find justice.

I shake myself from the thought and ease out of bed, careful not to wake Liv. Leaning down, I drop a light kiss to her forehead before quietly leaving the room.

I walk into the kitchen, hoping Walt might still be in bed, but skid to a halt when I see him sitting at the table with a cup of coffee in one hand and a newspaper in the other.

Shit!

“Mornin’,” he greets.

I’m having a hard time gauging his mood by the indifferent expression on his face. For all I know I’ll soon meet the barrel of his shotgun after walking out of his granddaughter’s room.

“Morning, Walt.” I tug the back of my neck, feeling awkward as hell and a little guilty. I’m well aware that Liv and I are adults, but this is Walt’s house and the last thing I want to do is disrespect him.
