Blair waved down a taxi, settling into the back as quickly as she could, intent on getting out of here as fast as possible. She felt like getting drunk. But if she went to a bar alone during the day, that would be inviting trouble. She could feel the tears as they slid unchecked down her face. She had held herself together while she had confronted Dan and Laura.

“Where to?” Asked the driver.

Where to? That was a good question. Both her sisters Sutton and Keira would be working. For now, she needed to get away from here so she could think about her next move. She gave the taxi driver the address of her office. She would go there, clean up her face and then work out what to do. Maybe ring Sutton or Keira. The taxi pulled away from the kerb. The driver looked at her in the rearview mirror.

“There are tissues in the center compartment if you need them, hon,” was all he said before turning his attention back to the road.

Blair opened the compartment, pulling out the tissues. “Thank you.” She said before cleaning her face as best she could. It wasn’t like she wore a lot of makeup. So she might as well clean her face.

As her phone began to ring, Blair instantly knew who the caller was before glancing at the screen. It would be Dan. Despite her certainty, she still retrieved her phone from her bag to confirm. Once she saw that it was indeed Dan, Blair promptly switched her phone to silent mode. Then continued to clean her face.

But by the time the taxi pulled up outside the office, Blair didn’t believe there would be any makeup left.

“Do I look ok?” she asked the Taxi driver as she handed him some money.

He looked around at her. “Your eyes are a little red, honey, but it’s hardly noticeable. Will you be Ok?”

Blair looked at him silently for a moment before saying. “I will be. This has just been a little bump on the road. Better to find out now before I married him.” She wasn’t sure who she was trying to convince the taxi driver or herself. Blair opened the door and slid out. “Thank you.” She said before shutting the back door. The driver waved at her, then checked traffic before merging onto the road. Blair checked her phone screen to see Dan had called her six times and left six messages on her voicemail. Uninterested in what he had to say for himself, she slid the phone away in her handbag.

Blair turned to look up at the glass and metal office building of Kingston industries. Roman had bought the building five years before. Kingston used the top eight levels, with the bottom three levels were being rented out to smaller businesses in the area. Blair wouldn’t be surprised with the way Kingston had been growing, that they would one day take over the entire building. Taking a deep breath, Blair picked up her things and headed inside.

“Miss Warner, Can I help you?” Blair looked around. One of the staff, Maggie, stationed behind the reception desk on ground level, came around the desk. Taking the case from her. In the same hand, she was still holding the bat. Maggie took that from her as well. Not asking why she was carrying a baseball bat.

Blair had completely forgotten that she was even holding it in her hand. She was relieved. It was something she wouldn’t need to retrieve. Blair planned to ask Sutton and Keira to assist her in organizing getting her stuff from the apartment. Although she didn’t want to put too much pressure on her older sister, Sutton. She was six months pregnant, and it hadn’t been an easy pregnancy.

Men. Why were they assholes? First, her boss for being so arrogant and intimidating and sometimes rude. Then Dan, who had been cheating on her with her cousin… for months. How low was that? Then there was the father of Sutton’s baby. Who had left her high and dry and pregnant?

“Thanks Maggie. Can I leave everything with reception? While I go freshen up.” Blair asked, surprised her voice sounded so… normal.

“Sure, Miss Warner.” Maggie said, looking at the baseball bat again.

“Blair please. How many times to I have to tell you?” Roman preferred first names, but some of the staff struggled with that, mostly with Roman more than with her.

Maggie smiled. Taking the suitcase and briefcase and bat. Blair kept her handbag as she headed across the foyer.

Blair quickly made her way to the bathroom. Once inside, she went straight to the mirrors. The cab driver wasn’t just being kind, she didn’t look so bad. Taking her makeup case out of her handbag, she got out a wipe and cleaned off what little makeup was left.

Before applying some powder and lip gloss and a little eyeliner. Blair pinched her cheeks because she didn’t have any blush in this bag. She wasn’t sure why people pinched their cheeks to add color, because she couldn’t see any difference.

She was pale. Her blue eyes were still a little red. Pulling out a brush, she pulled her long wavy blonde hair out of its confining bun and redid it. Once it was neat and pinned back in to place, she was ready.

She was going to go up to her office and work out what she was going to do next. Blair left the bathroom, picked up her stuff after thanking Maggie for her help, and headed to the lifts. She pushed the button.

As she waited for the lift, Blair wondered what she was going to tell Roman about her returning to the office. She tried to remember his schedule for this afternoon. Did he have any meetings? For the life of her, she couldn’t remember. Not surprising really that her brain was a little fried. “Walking in on your fiance shagging your cousin would do that to anyone,” Blair said in a whisper.

The thought made her frown. How often had they been doing this during office hours? Dan had been at home during a workday. Blair was away with her boss from time to time, but not all that often. That meant if their affair had been going on for months, then they had been meeting up in office hours.

The lift arrived and a woman she didn’t know joined her on the lift. She forced one of the little smiles most people gave to strangers and was glad to see the other woman was going to level two. Blair leaned back against the back wall and looked up. Not really paying any attention as the door slid open at level two and the woman got off. It wasn’t long before the carriage was on the move up.

Did she tell Roman about Dan? It seemed a little like sour grapes, because he was cheating. But he was also ripping the company off. There was no way he could get home, have sex with Laura, and get back to work in his lunch hour.

The doors of the lift opened on her floor. Taking a deep breath in case Roman was about, she walked off the lift and into the office area that held another reception desk for the executive floor.

Kara looked up as the lift doors opened. Seeing Blair, she smiled. “Hi Blair, I didn’t think you would be coming in today.”

Blair smiled. “No, I hadn’t planned on it, but I thought I’d get a jump on the meeting notes for Roman. Is he in, do you know?” Roman had a private lift in his office that only he used. It took him up to his penthouse apartment on the top floor or down to the garage, where he kept his luxury cars. There was no need for Roman to walk through the office if he didn’t want to.

Kara shook her head. “No, he left a little while ago. Called through to let me know to hold his calls.”

Blair almost sagged with relief. She wouldn’t have to face him just yet. “Thanks Kara.”

Blair headed to her office, shutting the door behind her. Then put her things behind her desk and dropped into her chair.

Blair rested her head on the desk for a moment. Shit, she felt like a wrecking ball had just split her world in two. How could he? But even worse than that, how could Laura?

The childish problems they had all had as kids, Blair had thought, they had grown out of that. Laura had always been a spoiled brat. Taking what wasn’t hers.

The problem was her parents, Blair’s aunt and uncle, doted on her and gave her everything she wanted. But when they had moved to the city two years ago, Laura hadn’t been that bad or by now Blair would have moved in with her sisters. She hadn’t when Sutton had come back from Europe because her sister Keira had just finished university. Keira had moved in with Sutton. She would have felt guilty leaving Laura on her own to move in with her sisters. What was the point, anyway? She and Dan had planned on getting a place of their own once they were married.

Lifting her head, Blair looked down at the ring on her finger. The engagement ring Dan had given her. It wasn’t big. She hadn’t wanted big. She would make sure he got it back. He could sell it. Because she was sure Laura would want a big flashy ring. She had made fun of Blair’s ring.

Taking it off, Blair was about to throw it across the room. No, just in case it went missing. Opening the top drawer of her desk, Blair dropped it in, slamming it shut. She needed a drink. Standing, Blair went into Roman’s office, where she knew he kept a bottle of scotch. She wasn’t much of a spirit drinker, but anything would do.

Roman office was a statement of the man himself. Everything was big, strong, and masculine. “Don’t forget intimidating.” Blair said to the empty room. Going to his desk, she opened the bottom drawer and pulled out the bottle of scotch that Roman kept there. Taking it, she sat down on his Chestfield lounge near the window. She opened the bottle and took a drink. Almost coughing it back up. “Holy shit, this shit burns.” Blair knew it was an expensive bottle Roman only liked the best.

The problem was, it was straight. Why did he like this shit straight? This time, when she put the bottle to her mouth, Blair made sure to sip it this time. Nope, that didn’t help. But it wasn’t as bad as the first drink. So she had another. Laying her head back against the lounge. She had come here to think. What was her next move?

Lifting her hand so she could see the dial on her watch, Blair saw it was 3:15pm. She couldn’t call Sutton or Keira. Not yet. Let them get home from work. Then she would see about crashing at their place until she could find somewhere. Their place wasn’t big enough for three adults and a baby. When it arrived. But it would be great to spend some time with her sisters. Eat ice cream and talk shit about men.

Although Sutton didn’t even talk about the man that had gotten her pregnant. It was a topic she refused to discuss. Even when their aunt Viv and uncle Peter had demanded answers. Blair lifted the bottle again to her mouth.

The phone started ringing on Roman’s desk. Blair tried to ignore it, but as soon as it stop ringing it started again. Blair shifted to the edge of the lounge, rising to her feet. The room seemed to tilt ever so slightly, prompting a quick “Oops.” to escape her lips.

After regaining her balance, she made her way over to the phone and lifted the receiver.

“Hello?” she greeted into the handset. Not very professional, she thought.

“Roman please.” Blair knew the voice. It was Claire Robertson. Roman’s little piece of fluff. It was the best way to describe Claire. She had this stupid girly voice that set Blair’s teeth on edge.

“Roman isn’t here.” Blair put a hand on Roman’s desk to help stop the swaying of the room.

“Where is he?” Claire asked.

“How the hell should I know?” Blaire was surprised by her answer. Shit, where had that come from?

“You are his secretary.” Blair could hear the anger in the other woman’s voice.

“Yes, but I’m not his keeper and I sure as hell don’t own a crystal ball. Call or message his mobile.” Blair was over this conversation.

“He isn’t answering his mobile hasn’t for days.” Claire whined.

Blair’s eyes widened. That told her that Roman was getting ready to move on. “Look Claire, Let’s be honest. He isn’t marriage material. Find yourself someone new.” Blaire didn’t wait for her reply, just hung up. Blair went back to the Chesterfield. Sat down and took another drink. The scotch wasn’t so bad now. Maybe she was getting used to it.

Once she had settled back onto the lounge, her own problems resurfaced to haunt her. How was she so blind? How did she not pick up on the signs? She wasn’t an idiot. Dan was a salesman. He had sold her the dream of happily ever after. She had just been blind to the cracks in their relationship.

Not only that, it looked like she had been missing something in her sex life. If what she had witnessed between Dan and Laura was any indication of how the act should be. She enjoyed it well enough, but it wasn’t something that made her cry out like Laura had been doing. Was that to stroke his ego? Should she have been doing that? The thing was, she didn’t know. Dan had been her only lover. It was his job to teach her.

Blair lifted her head to take another drink from the bottle to see two tall men standing in front of her. Two very out-of-focus men.

Blair waved. “Hi.” She tried to sit up, to put the bottle to her mouth. But before it reached her lips, it was taken out of her hand. “Hey, that’s mine. Iff, yo want any goo find you own.” Looking around, Blair tried to refocus her eyes.

It was then she realized that there was only one man standing in front of her. Holding the bottle. “Roman?”

“Blair. What have you done to yourself?” Roman asked.

“Well, I thought that was prettty o…obvious, As yo can seee me is getting shit… faced. Now hand me tha bottle. So I… I can finishh tha job.” Blair took a swing for the bottle, but Roman moved away to put it on his desk.

“I think you have had enough.” Roman said.

Blair frowned at him. “Yo know some.. times yo cann be an asshole… No, not sometimes, but mosst of the.. time.”

“I do believe you are going to regret this tomorrow.” Came Roman reply as he sat down beside her.

    “Yo are not just an asshole but a shithead tooo.

I want a man that isn’t a cheatin rat.” Blair looked at Roman. He really was very attractive. “Did yo ever cheat on your ex wife?” Blair had met Roman’s ex wife Jessica once. The experience hadn’t been pleasant. “Not all men cheat, Blair.” Roman said softly.“W… why did she leave yo then?” Blair was interested.“There are many reasons why a marriage breaks down Blair, not all of them have to do with cheating on the man’s part.” Blair watched as Roman whipped a hand across his face. It took her a moment to register what he had just said. Her mouth fell open. “She cheated on yo… was shee an idiot.” Her boss was gorgeous, with thick dark hair, the most intense gray eyes she had ever seen. A chiseled face with high cheekbones.

    Her heart pounded in her chest. Just by his kiss was enough to tell her there had been something wrong with her relationship. Dan had been the problem all along. She didn’t even love Roman. Found him to be all too arrogant. But what she was feeling from just his kiss was more than she had felt with heavy petting when Dan touched her. Blair pulled back to stare at him. Her boss raised an eyebrow. His expression... Blair was trying to put a word to it. “Blair, is everything alright?” His voice was calm, but there was a flicker of something else in his eyes… something that made her stomach twist. Was it amusement? Hunger? She wasn’t sure, but she didn’t care. Not right now. Her mind was whirling with her own emotions. She could feel the heat between her legs and how wet she had become from one kiss. Blair wasn’t sure if she should be ashamed. She had been with Dan and only Dan. Now she was getting all hot and heavy with her boss.She leaned in closer. She still held his tie, her grip o

    Blair blinked at him, her surprise clear. She had never been the one to undress Dan when she had been with him; he had always taken the lead in their sex life. Their sexual encounters were usually prearranged, occurring once or twice a week when they were already in bed. Furthermore, she had never experienced being on top. “Blair, do as I say now.” There was a note to Roman’s voice she hadn’t heard before. She had to bite her lip to stop herself from moaning.Blair took a deep breath before straightening up on her knees and reaching for his belt buckle. Her hands trembled as she carefully threaded the belt through the buckle. Roman laid his hands over hers. Blair lifted her eyes to his face, lips slightly parted as her breath came out labored. “Blair, this is your last chance to change your mind. Because once you unbuckle that belt, there will be no putting the horse back in the barn.” Roman removed his hands from hers, sliding both of his arms along the back of the lounge. “So, thi

    At his words, the breath left Blair’s lungs. Just by the little she had already experienced with Roman. She knew he meant every word. She looked at his cock. She did not know what to do. Dan had never wanted her to do it. But from the shouting she had heard between Dan and Laura. He hadn’t minded Laura sucking his cock. Would Roman expect her to be skilled in this? She didn’t want to tell him she had never done it. Roman ran a hand over her head. “Take me in your mouth. I want to put your smart mouth to work.” Roman’s voice was low, commanding, and it sent a shiver down her spine. She blinked rapidly, trying to center herself. The smell of him was potent, making her mouth water. She just didn’t want to make a fool of herself. He leaned back on the chesterfield, holding his massive cock in his other hand. It was hard, throbbing, and glistening with pre-cum at the tip. Blair swallowed hard, her heart pounding in her chest. She looked up into his face. The light coming in from the win

    Blair opened her eyes to the sunlight filtering through the curtains. She blinked slowly, her mind fuzzy with sleep, and for a moment, she was disoriented.Then, memory flooded back… the office, getting drunk and having sex with her boss, the way Roman had taken control of her body and left her trembling in his arms. Her cheeks flushed at the thought, but beneath the embarrassment lingered a deep, aching satisfaction. Holy shit. What the hell has she got herself into?She shifted ever so slightly, prompting Roman’s arm, which was draped over her waist, to tighten on her. He was lying behind her, his breath steady against the nape of her neck, sending shivers down her arms and filling her body with a rush of excitement.Blair felt his length pressing against her ass, already semi-hard and twitching with awareness. Her heart skipped a beat as she realized he wasn’t fully asleep. He was awake, just waiting for her to wake up.“Morning,” he murmured, his voice gravelly, roughened with sle

    Blair turned to face him. Lifting her body up on the bed and leaning back against the bedhead, making sure the sheet stayed in place to cover her breast. Blair was a little surprised she only had a slight headache after drinking what she had last night. Roman tilted his head as he studied her. Sighing, he sat up on the bed to face her. “What is it?” He was totally unconcerned about his nakedness. Why would he? Not only was his body impressive, but his equipment was nothing to sneeze at, he also knew how to use it. Blair never realized what she was missing while involved with Dan. Blair looked down at her hands resting on her lap. Needing to look away from the heat in his eyes for a moment. He had always had a very intense gaze, and she squirmed a little because it was zeroed in on her now, after everything they had done. She felt the need to reach out and touch his chest and right now; they had to talk. Not have sex again. She didn’t think she could, anyway. She was just a little

    Blair’s stood in front of the bathroom mirror watching Roman shave. She knew by that afternoon he would have a noticeable 3 o’clock shadow. She had loved the feel of his stubbled chin as he had kissed her breasts. Her breasts bore a delicate trace of a faint beard burn. Surprisingly, it didn’t cause her any pain. When she first noticed the marks on her body, a wave of pleasurable memories rushed through her, causing her cheeks to blush. Even now, heat flooded her body.As if sensing her over heated state, Roman looked at her in the mirror. Pulling the razor away from his face. “Are you ok?”“Huh… Yeah.” Looking away. “I was thinking, I need to head home to collect my things.” She gave a laugh and pointed to his bathrobe she was currently wearing. “Unless, of course, you don’t mind me coming to the office in your robe.”Roman turned towards her and rested his hip on the vanity. Watching her for a moment before saying. “Are we talking no underwear?”And with that one comment went the hea

    Twenty minutes later, Peters arrived to collect Blair.“You know this isn’t necessary. I could just call down and make sure Dan is working today. Once I know the coast is clear, make a run for the apartment and clear everything out.” Blair felt uncomfortable standing in the living area of Roman’s apartment, in yesterday’s clothes and no underwear under the watchful eyes of Roman’s head of security. There was no way she would wear dirty underwear, and she definitely wouldn’t wear wet underwear if she washed them. Roman pulled on his suit jacket. “I’m not having you go there alone, Blair. End of discussion.”Arrogant ass. But it gave her a secret little thrill that he cared about it, Blair thought before saying aloud. “Dan has never hurt me, well physically, at least. I’m perfectly safe.” Roman finished with his jacket and walked over to her. He obviously didn’t care that Peters was watching because he leaned down and took her mouth in a hungry demand. Shocking Blair by the intense ki

    Blair exhaled in relief as she stepped outside the hospital doors, the cool breeze brushing against her skin. Roman was beside her, his hand resting possessively on the small of her back, guiding her toward the waiting car. She was exhausted, her body still sore, but at least she was going home. It amazed her really that she was so tired. She had slept, but she was still tired. But during the time it had taken the nurses to come around with the paperwork for her to sign, all she had done was think. About why someone would want to kill her? And who had so much hatred toward her that they would go to such extremes?Ethan opened the back door of the sleek black SUV, nodding to Roman before stepping back into position. Roman helped her inside, making sure she was settled before joining her. As soon as the door shut, sealing them inside the quiet comfort of the car, she leaned her head back against the seat with a sigh.“God, I hate the smell of hospitals,” she murmured.Roman smirked, re

    Seeing Sutton standing here waiting for him hadn’t surprised him. If it had been his sister Rose, he would be demanding answers as well. He had expected this conversation. He exhaled slowly, bracing himself.“What is it?” he asked, keeping his voice even.Sutton studied him for a moment before speaking. “I need to know something, and I need you to be honest with me, Roman. Is there any reason, any at all, that Blair would be in danger because of you?”Roman’s jaw tightened. “No. Well... I’m not one hundred percent sure, but it wouldn’t be business. Everything I do within business is legitimate. I have my men on it. They will not leave one stone unturned, and neither will I, Sutton. You have my word.”Sutton didn’t back down. “Are you sure you didn’t make an enemy in business? Someone with a grudge? Someone that lost out in a deal? Something from your past? Because I swear to God, if you have knowingly put her in danger—”Roman cut her off, his voice firm but calm. “I would never put B

    Roman stood by Blair’s bedside, watching as she spoke quietly with her sisters. She was still pale, exhaustion clear in the soft lines of her face, but there was a fire in her eyes that reassured him. She was strong, but even the strongest needed protection. And he would make damn sure she had it.He needed to make some calls, so with one last glance at her, he squeezed her hand and murmured, “I’ll be back soon. I just need to make a few calls. Try to get some rest.”Blair gave him a small smile. “You don’t have to hover, you know. My sisters are here to do enough of that for you.”Keira smirked from her chair. “Oh, don’t worry. We’ll keep her entertained. You go do your brooding billionaire thing.”Roman rolled his eyes but smirked. He actually liked Blair’s sisters, even Keira, who had a sharp tongue and a wicked sense of humor. She was the kind of woman who would be a handful for any man. Sutton, on the other hand, had a quiet intensity that reminded him of himself. She took respon

    Blair stirred as she slowly became aware of the steady beeping of a heart monitor and the faint murmur of voices around her. The antiseptic scent of the hospital filled her nose, and the stiffness in her body reminded her that she was definitely not in her own bed. Her head ached, a dull, persistent throb, and her ankle was elevated, wrapped tightly.Before she could fully open her eyes, she felt the warm, firm grip of a familiar hand holding hers.“Blair,” Roman’s voice was quiet but filled with intensity. “Are you awake?”She forced her eyes open, blinking against the brightness of the room. Roman was seated beside her, his expression unreadable but the tension in his posture evident. His other hand rested on her thigh over the hospital blanket, his grip grounding her. He looked… well, rumpled. Not his normal self.“Hey,” she murmured, her voice raspy. “You look like hell.”Roman let out a breath, something between a laugh and a scoff. “You’re the one in the hospital bed, sweetheart

    Ethan barely had time to move Blair into a sitting position before the sound of screeching tires tore through the air. She almost flinched after what had happened yesterday. But it was Roman’s car that came to a halt so fast it nearly skidded, the driver-side door flinging open before the vehicle had fully stopped. Roman was out in an instant, his eyes locking on Blair where she sat on the pavement with Ethan crouched beside her. She could see that Peters was with him.His face was thunderous as he strode toward them, looking around at the broken concrete shattered around the ground. “What the fuck happened?”Ethan straightened. “That,” he pointed to the pieces of concrete, “fell from the building. Miss Warner was almost hit. I pushed them both out of the way. Unfortunately, they both hit the sidewalk and the side of the building pretty hard.”But at least she hadn’t got her head crashed in by a fulling building. There was no way of surviving that.Roman’s jaw clenched, his gaze flick

    Blair spent most of the morning at her desk, Roman locked away in back-to-back meetings. Her body still ached from yesterday, but the heat from the shower had helped, along with Roman’s skilled hands. She glanced at her phone, debating whether she should call her sisters now or wait until lunch.She decided to wait until lunch and sent them both a message in their group chat:Blair: Can you both talk during lunch? Something happened yesterday. I want to tell you myself before you hear it elsewhere.Keira responded first.Keira: You can’t just say that and expect me to wait. I already feel a stroke coming on.Sutton: Is it Roman? Because if he’s being a dick, I’ll come down there myself.Blair rolled her eyes, a smile tugging at her lips.Blair: It’s not Roman. I’ll call you at lunch. Is noon okay?Sutton replied with a simple: Fine. That meant she wasn’t happy about waiting, but she would tolerate it… barely.Keira: Okay, but my brain has gone into overdrive.The day moved slowly, ten

    Blair stirred, her body heavy with sleep, warmth cocooning her from all sides. She stretched slightly, only to pause when she felt eyes on her. Slowly, she blinked her way awake, turning her head to find Roman watching her from his place beside her.“You’re staring,” she murmured, her voice husky from sleep.Roman’s lips curved slightly. “You’re beautiful when you sleep.”Blair felt a flush creep up her neck as she buried her face into the pillow. “That’s unfair. I probably look a mess.” Thinking her long hair would be all over the place.“You look like mine,” he said simply, reaching out to brush his fingers over her cheek.She exhaled softly, leaning into his touch. “I am yours. Sir…”His eyes darkened at her words, and for a moment, she thought he might roll over and claim her all over again. He leaned in, brushing his lips against hers in a slow, lazy kiss that sent warmth spiraling through her.Then he groaned, pressing his forehead against hers. “Fuck. I have a meeting at nine.

    The fear of nearly losing her had wrapped around him like a vice, choking him. But now, with the danger momentarily at bay, something darker, deeper clawed its way to the surface, a need so raw it made his fingers flex involuntarily at his sides.Blair looked up at him, her eyes wide, searching his face. “Roman… Sir-”He was on her before she could finish, his mouth crushing hers, swallowing whatever words she had been about to say. His kiss was not gentle. It was desperate, punishing, a silent claim that bordered on possession. She gasped against his lips, her fingers clenching in his shirt as he backed her against the wall.“Tell me you’re okay,” he demanded, his breath hot against her skin as he trailed his lips down her jaw, nipping at the delicate flesh of her throat. “Tell me you can take this.”Blair’s pulse hammered, but it wasn’t fear. It was anticipation. The raw hunger in his voice, the way his hands gripped her hips like he was barely restraining himself, sent liquid heat

    Roman helped Blair up, his powerful arms steadying her as she wobbled slightly. The adrenaline was wearing off, leaving her legs weak and her hands trembling. Without hesitation, he scooped her up, ignoring her protests, and carried her to his car. Ethan opened the door, ensuring a smooth transition as Roman settled her inside. Roman shut her door. She watched as he thanked Ethan before moving around the car.She sat in silence as Roman drove, her mind replaying the near accident. If it had even been an accident? It played over and over again in her mind. What if she had stepped off the curb? Would Ethan have been there in time? Would she be laying in the hospital or the morgue? The thought was frightening.Her pulse was still erratic, her body unable to shake the lingering fear. Roman’s grip on the steering wheel was tight, his jaw clenched, his entire body radiating controlled fury. Blair could see he was thinking of what had happened, or nearly happened. She was lucky, except for s
