They didn’t say another word until they reached the car. Not a single one.

The second the doors closed and the tinted glass sealed them inside, Blair finally exhaled, slumping back in her seat like the tension had been the only thing holding her upright the entire time.

Roman slid in beside her and didn’t speak right away. He just looked at her, his expression unreadable. Half awe. Half… something else. Something darker, heavier, and far more dangerous.

“That was...” he finally said, voice low, “...unexpectedly savage.”

Blair let out a breathy laugh, rubbing a hand over her face. “I think I blacked out somewhere between the unicorns and the dick size.”

Keira, from the back seat, hooted. “You murdered him. Like, socially. He might never get hard again. Blair, I feel like kneeling at your feet. It took everything in me not to start cheering.”

“I’m proud of you,” Sutton added. “Also slightly afraid.”

“I don’t even know what came over me,” Blair muttered. Normally, it would’ve been Keira

  • In Bed With Her Shithead Boss   Chapter One Hundred-Forty-Two

    Luca didn’t move for a full hour after Sutton drifted back to sleep. She had gone to sleep soon after coming back from meeting the press. He really should go and see his father. He had been getting regular updates from his brother and had gone to see his father last night, but he had been asleep.Her hand was still curled loosely in his, her breathing soft and even, and it was the only sound he wanted to hear for the rest of his life.He sat on the side of her bed and just watched her.Her lashes fluttered once, but she didn’t wake. Her mouth was slightly parted, and her hand would occasionally shift on the blanket, twitching. In sleep, she looked like herself again, only she was no longer pregnant.And for the hundredth time, Luca felt it like a punch to the ribs: He could’ve lost her and their son Miles.He hated to think what could have happened if the messenger had pushed her into traffic instead of just onto the footpath. He was still pissed that the police were unable to charge

    Her sisters and Roman had left before the fireworks. Sutton was glad Keira had been fuming mad. It was late morning by the time the hospital chief of staff left the room.Or rather, backed out with a pale face and a panicked promise to “get to the bottom of this.” Luca hadn’t raised his voice; he hadn’t needed to. His tone had been low and cold and lethal, making sure every word landed.“If I find out that even one person… nurse, administrator, janitor sold Sutton’s information to the press, not only will we sue for every fucking dollar of damages, I will make sure they never speak to anyone ever again,” he told them.Then, when the man fumbled some excuse about patient access and systems vulnerabilities, Luca simply said “You'd better find out who leaked her story before I do. Because it’s your hospital, the cost won’t just be financial. I’ll make sure you can’t even get a job washing toilets. Do I make myself clear?”And that was it. The door clicked shut. The chief shuffled away.S

    It was barely 7 a.m. when Sutton’s phone buzzed on the tray beside her hospital bed.She hadn’t slept the whole night. Even though she was on pain meds, every time she shifted in her sleep, the pain woke her.Luca was asleep in the chair beside her, long legs stretched out, head tilted toward her but not quite resting. He’d refused to leave, and sometime after midnight, one of the overnight nurses had pulled in a cot, only for him to ignore it in favor of staying closer.The phone buzzed again. Then again. Wishing now they hadn’t charged it last night, but it could be one of her sisters. Though she didn’t think they would call at this time in the morning.Sutton rubbed her face with one hand and grabbed it with the other, careful not to wake him. Her fingers were stiff, but she managed to swipe the screen open.UNKNOWN CALLERShe hesitated for a moment but answered.“Hello?”There was a pause. Then a voice, ever so eager.“Sutton Warner, or should I say Audrey? This is Lilly Day from

  • In Bed With Her Shithead Boss   Chapter One Hundred-Thirty-Nine

    Sutton hadn’t stood on her own yet, but with Luca’s arm tucked under hers and a nurse steadying her opposite side, she made the slow, careful walk down the short hallway toward the NICU, that was after a very necessary trip to the bathroom.It was humbling how broken her body felt. Every shift of weight ached. Her hip radiated something sharp if she turned even a degree too far, and the stitches pulled at her stomach.She wasn’t thinking about her injuries. She was thinking about him. The tiny baby who had come twelve weeks too early. Their son.Luca hadn’t said much during the walk. His hand never left hers, letting her pace herself.The NICU doors opened with a soft click, controlled and climate-sealed. Monitors beeped at intervals throughout the room. Every crib was spaced out intentionally, and tiny lives lived between glass and plastic domes.They moved to the second incubator near the end of the row.Inside, beneath a tangle of tubes and wires thin as threads, a baby smaller tha

    He sat in a hard plastic chair beside her bed, elbow resting on the edge of the mattress, his fingers wrapped around her wrist as if it were made of delicate glass. It was morning, and he hadn’t slept at all. Roman had dropped clothes off, and the nurses had let him use the shower in Sutton’s private room they had moved her to around eleven last night.Luca hadn’t left her for more than a few minutes; he couldn’t. He was so worried that if he turned his back on her for even one second, she might disappear. He could not lose her again. Even though he hadn’t realized he was in love with her the first time, he had still felt the loss of her when she had left. It was only then that he started to understand what she had truly meant to him. It hadn’t been a lightbulb moment at first; he had told himself it was the baby. But he had only been fooling himself.Sutton stirred; at first, it was just a twitch of her fingers. Then, there was a deep indrawn breath.Luca leaned closer. He watched as

    It felt like time had stopped and doubled in on itself. Luca sat with his elbows on his knees, head in his hands. His knuckles were white. His breathing was shallow. The walls were starting to get to him, but he hadn’t moved in over an hour.Neither had Roman, posted at the door like a guard. Keira was in a chair beside him, hands clasped so tightly that her knuckles cracked every time she shifted. Blair sat quietly nearby, staring at the tiled floor, her expression unreadable. Antonio and Bella sat together talking softly.Someone coughed down the hall. Footsteps.Then the door opened.A doctor in a white coat stepped gently into the room, her ID badge tucked against her chest.“Mr. De Santis?”They all looked up at once.Luca stood abruptly, his body jerking to attention, and so did Antonio.“I’m Dr. Smith,” the woman said. “Cardiology.” She said to them both.Everyone in the room held his or her breath.“Your father pulled through.”Luca exhaled. Hard. Shoulders slumped for the firs
