The ambulance arrived in four minutes.

Archer rode with Roman.

Nobody stopped him. Nobody asked if he had the right to be in the vehicle because the specific quality of his presence beside Roman on that floor had answered the question before it could be asked.

Lennon and Damien followed in the car.

The drive was silent.

At the hospital they were directed to the surgical waiting area, which Lennon knew too well now, the specific configuration of the chairs and the lighting and the desk with the s

  • Professor Grayson's Favorite sin   Chapter 273: Absolutely Perfect

    The letter arrived on a Tuesday morning.Damien found it in the mailbox in the lobby. A plain white envelope with no return address and a postmark from a town in Oregon. He carried it upstairs and put it on the kitCaleb counter and stared at it for a long time before he opened it.Lennon came out of the nursery with Luca on his hip. "What's that?""A letter. I don't know who it's from.""Open it."Damien opened it. The handwriting was familiar and it took him a moment to place it. And then he did and his chest got tight.Dear Damien and Lennon,I've been following your story in the news. I know everything that happened with Kessler and the trial and the shooting. I know you've been through things I can't even imagine. I wanted to reach out sooner but I didn't know if you would want to hear from me.I'm doing well. I moved to Oregon after everything happened and I have a job at a bookstore and a small apartment near the coast. I'm happy. I've moved on with my life.But I think about L

  • Professor Grayson's Favorite sin   Chapter 273: He'll Grow Into It

    After Damien was discharged, we decided to seek therapy. The therapist's office was on the fourth floor of a building downtown. The windows looked out over the river and the chairs were comfortable and the woman who sat across from them had a kind face and a calm voice. She had a way of asking questions that made Damien want to answer them honestly.They had been coming here for three months. Every Tuesday at two o'clock. Damien had resisted at first. He had said he didn't need therapy and he could handle his own problems and talking to a stranger about his feelings wasn't going to change anything. But Lennon had insisted and eventually Damien had agreed because Lennon had asked and because he was trying to be better about letting people help him.The therapist's name was Dr Caleb. She specialized in trauma recovery, family counseling and she had worked with people who had been through things that made Damien's life look ordinary. She never seemed shocked by anything they told her.

  • Professor Grayson's Favorite sin   Chapter 272: I'm Not Leaving

    Damien was moved out of the ICU on the fourth day.The doctors said his vitals were strong and the surgical site was healing well and there were no signs of infection. They moved him to a private room on the third floor with a window that looked out over the city and a chair that pulled out into a bed for Lennon.Lennon had barely left the hospital. He went home once to shower and change clothes and hold Luca for more than a few minutes. Evelyn had been staying at the penthouse with the baby and Scarlett had been handling the fallout from the shooting and Roman had been dealing with the police.There were statements to give and reports to file and the man who shot Damien was in custody. But Lennon didn't care about any of that. He cared about the color coming back into Damien's face and the way his voice was getting stronger every day and the fact that he was alive."You need to sleep in an actual bed," Damien said on the fifth day.Lennon was sitting in the chair with his feet prop

  • Professor Grayson's Favorite sin   Chapter 271: This Is My Fault

    The waiting room smelled like antiseptic and old coffee. Lennon had been staring at the same spot on the floor for the past hour without really seeing it.Roman sat three chairs down with his head in his hands. His shirt still had Damien's blood on it. Dark stains that had dried stiff and brown against the white fabric. He hadn't moved to change and no one had asked him to.Archer sat beside him. Not touching him but close enough that their shoulders were almost brushing. His eyes kept moving to the doors that led to the surgical wing and then back to Roman and then back to the doors again.Evelyn held Luca in her lap. The baby was asleep now after crying for the first two hours. He didn't understand what was happening. He just knew his father wasn't there, his other father was shaking and pale. Scarlett had taken him for a while, then Evelyn had taken him back, and now she sat with her grandson pressed against her chest and her eyes fixed on nothing.The clock on the wall ticked.

  • Professor Grayson's Favorite sin   Chapter 270: Webb

    The car ride back to the penthouse took twelve minutes.Damien ran three red lights and took a corner so fast the tires screamed against the asphalt. Lennon was on the phone with Scarlett the whole time and his voice was steady but his hands were shaking and he kept asking the same question everytime."Is Luca okay? Is he okay?""He's fine," Scarlett said. "Evelyn has him in the panic room. The door is locked and I'm watching the cameras.""Where is he? Where's Webb?""He's on the fifteenth floor. He got in through the service elevator. He's just standing in the hallway outside your door."Damien took another corner. "Is he armed?""I can't tell from the cameras. But his jacket is bulky, he could be carrying something."Roman was in the car behind them with two other security men. Archer was still at the museum coordinating with the police. Everyone was scattered and everyone was trying to get to the same place at the same time."He's not getting into the panic room," Scarlett said. "

  • Professor Grayson's Favorite sin   Chapter 269: What's The Plan?

    Roman called back ten minutes later. He had a name."Marcus Webb. He was one of Kessler's lieutenants. Low-level but connected. He disappeared about six months before Kessler was arrested and we assumed he went into hiding when things started falling apart.""What's his connection to us?""He blames you for Kessler's downfall. He blames all of us, he's been posting on forums and message boards for months. Conspiracy theories and threats and rants about how we destroyed the network and ruined his life. The FBI had him on a watch list but he slipped through.""And now he's here.""It looks that way."The next morning Damien gathered everyone in the living room. Roman, Archer, Scarlett and Evelyn. Lennon sat on the couch with Luca in his lap and Damien stood by the window with the curtains still drawn."We're not running," Damien said. "We're not hiding. We've done too much of that already.""What's the plan?" Archer asked."We find him before he finds us. Roman has a name and a histor

  • Professor Grayson's Favorite sin   Chapter 44: Sexy

    DAMIEN Damien had to admit it—he liked this new version of Lennon.The pissy moods suited him. The way his lower lip would jut out just a fraction when something grated on him, the way his dark lashes would lower like storm clouds rolling in, the sudden spark of fire behind those usually soft, wa

    LENNON It was dark when Lennon's eyes cracked open.His bedroom lights were never off.Had he been–His brain finally registered the scent that enveloped him, then he realized where he was. And the reason he had come there.The penthouse bedroom was hushed except for the distant constant hum of tr

  • Professor Grayson's Favorite sin   Chapter 41: Not A Love Language

    Damien's POVDamien paced the hallway outside his bedroom like a caged animal.The corridor was too narrow for the energy boiling under his skin; each turn felt clipped, boots scuffing the dark oak with sharp, frustrated sounds. The door stayed shut. Locked from the inside. Lennon had slammed it ha

    Chapter 39Saturday morning arrived just like every other—with excitement.There was no stupid alarm to wake Lennon up. No lecture to rush to.He finally cracked his eyes open when his phone buzzed against the nightstand wood: gentle but insistent, like someone tapping on a window.He rolled over
