It hadn’t been a unanimous decision, but the majority of the board had sided with him, with the caveat that his job was on line if things went sideways.
He’d decided to keep that information to himself. It felt like revealing that she had the ability to ruin his career would shift their power dynamic.
Liam ran his hand down her back, dripping warm water along her spine as he did.
“I’m sorry. I just know that the courts are expecting results, and I don’t want to see anything happen that would send you to prison.”
She shrugged like she wasn’t concerned.
“I’m confident I’ll have results before the end of the week. There was more than one open backdoor. I’m surprised you haven’t been breached before.”
“Fuck. Really?”
Her mouth turned down like she was sympathizing with him. “Really.”
“But you can fix it?”
“I can fix it, and make sure you’re protected from future attacks. For the next four months anyway.”
Four months.
He knew it was going to go by too quickly.
She wrapped her arms around his neck. “So, anything I need to know? Who should I avoid?”
“There’s a nurse, Addison Hall, who loves stirring up trouble. Mostly with male doctors, but I don’t think anyone is immune, so be careful. Although, since Steven Ericson’s wife, Whitney, caught Addison talking about her when she was a patient in the ER—and Steven’s wife is a lawyer and threatened legal action—Addison’s kind of been laying low.”
“Avoid Nurse Hall. Got it. That shouldn’t be too hard; I can’t imagine there would be many occasions our paths would cross.”

Utah wiggled her ass around in his lap. “Speaking of hard…”
Chapter Thirty-Two
Utah
She glanced at the clock on his nightstand when she felt him get out of bed. It read 4:58.
Who in their right mind got up before five in the morning when they didn’t have to leave until eight?
Not Utah, that was for sure.
Then she remembered Liam mentioned that he worked out in the mornings before going to the hospital. Being a big fan of the man’s physique, she had a new appreciation for his early rising.
He’d been courteous, like always, and had been quiet after he came out of the bathroom. Utah double-checked the alarm on her wrist, then promptly fell back asleep for another seventy-five minutes.
Then snoozed the alarm—twice—when it went off.
She wasn’t used to getting up this early, and they’d stayed up a little past eleven the night before, but that wasn’t why she was so tired.
They’d had a super-sexy make-out session in the spa, but the wine and hot water had made her sleepy. Liam noticed her yawn when they got out, and promptly took her to bed.
Except, she’d been too horny to fall asleep and asked him to hold her, hoping her naked body against his would lead to something more.
It had.
