The screaming didn't stop.Carla was already around the desk, her hands hovering, not knowing where to touch her. "Audrey... oh my god, Audrey, talk to me–""Something's wrong." Audrey's voice came out cracked and thin. She looked down and the world stopped when she saw it. Blood. Dark red blood soaking through the black fabric of her dress, running down the inside of her leg amd she felt her stomach drop straight to the floor. "C...Carla. Carla, I'm bleeding, I'm....oh god, oh god– I can't bleed, Carla. I'm pregnant. Oh god... oh god–""Okay. Okay, don't move." Carla's hands were shaking as she grabbed her phone, nearly dropping it twice. "I'm calling an ambulance right now, just breathe, just – Audrey, look at me, breathe–"Audrey couldn't breathe. Every time the pain rolled through her it stole the air straight out of her lungs. She grabbed the edge of the desk so hard her knuckles went white, and all she could think, over and over, was 'not the baby, please, not the baby, please n

The kiss was fierce and hungry, his mouth claiming hers desperately. Audrey’s cup hit the counter with a soft clink. Her hands came up, gripped the front of his shirt, then slid higher until her fingers were locked around the back of his neck. Roman pressed her back against the cool marble, his body covering hers as he let one thigh slide between her legs. The counter edge dug into her lower back but she didn’t care.His mouth opened over hers, his tongue sweeping in, tasting her like he had been starving for it. Audrey let out a soft moan and kissed him harder, rising onto her toes. His hands slid down, one settling at the side of her neck, the other grabbing her waist, pulling her tighter against him. She could feel how hard he was, the thick line of his manhood pressed against her stomach through the fabric of his pants. Heat settled low in her belly and she instinctively grinded against him.Roman broke the kiss only long enough to drag his mouth along her jaw, leaving open kisses

Then he leaned in, close enough that only she and Audrey could hear him, his voice dropping to a low register. "Cedar Grove Assisted Living. Room 114. Third floor, west wing, corner room with the window that faces the garden." He tilted his head slightly. "Your grandmother has been there eleven months now, hasn't she? Nurses say she likes it when someone reads to her in the afternoons, since she can't really speak anymore."Regina's face went as pale as a ghost. "I know where everyone you care about sleeps at night," Roman went on calmly, like he was discussing the weather. "I know their routines, their doctors, their schedules. And I promise you, the kind of people I could send wouldn't leave a single trace behind, no note, no struggle, nothing for the police to work with."He let that settle, watching her throat work as she tried to swallow."So," he said softly, "you're going to shut your mouth for the rest of the night. And if I ever hear you speak to her like that again, anywhe

Derek Lockwood woke up feeling annoyed, because he woke up to the smell of his own cologne turning sour on unwashed sheets and a soft body against his back that wasn't supposed to be there.Regina.She was still asleep, mascara smudged under her eyes from crying about the ankle monitor the judge had strapped on her before releasing her on bail. Derek stared at the ceiling and asked himself, not for the first time, how the hell his life had ended up here – disgraced, almost lost all his father's favour that he spent years chasing, half broke and sharing a bed with the woman half of Seattle now knew as a criminal."You're staring again," Regina mumbled without opening her eyes. "It's creepy.""Go back to sleep.""Can't. Court date's Thursday." She rolled over, draped an arm across his chest like she had any right to comfort him. "Diana Sinclair told me through her lawyer that the embezzlement charge might be withdrawn if I cooperate.""Cooperate with what?"Regina's eyes opened then, th
