“Mr. Kincaid, we can call you if we have further questions?” Sawyer faced the lead officer asking questions.
“Of course. Anything Jack and I can do to make sure he is behind bars for the rest of his life.”
“Then we’ll call you, sir.” He looked at Lily. “Miss Francini, can we take a few minutes to get a statement from you at the station?”
She nodded.
Sawyer stepped in front of her. “You can take her statement here. Thank you for responding so quickly, but I’m sure you can appreciate the ordeal Ms. Francini has been through tonight. I don’t think the station is necessary. Why don’t we step inside the suite?”
Sawyer walked with him inside. Lily was amazed by how easily he could sway the police officer to change his protocol.
“You up for this?” Jack asked, holding her hand.
“I’m fine. Really. If answering some questions, helps. Then, yes. I’m up for it.” They walked inside the room and she sat at the dining room table while the officer went through a series of questions.
Finally, he wrapped up with the last one and told Lily he felt confident he had all the information he needed on her uncle.
Sawyer walked him to the elevators and returned to the suite.
“Are you ok?” he looked at her.
She walked from Jack’s arms into his. She nodded. “Now I am.”

“Really, I’m fine. Stop fussing. Nothing happened, except some extortion.” Sawyer had refused to let her feet touch the floor since the police had left. “You can put me down.”
Jack was on the phone with the front desk.
“What’s going on?” she asked him.
“I want to get another room. There’s no way you’re staying here tonight.” He looked over the half-eaten room service trays with distain.
She nodded. “You’re right. I’m not. I want to go home.”
Sawyer squeezed her shoulders. “You’re in shock. Putting you on a plane is the last thing you need. We’ll take care of you tonight and we’ll leave in the morning.”
“I’m not in shock.” She looked at him defiantly. “I want to be in my bed with you and you.” She turned to catch Jack’s attention. “I’m not hurt. He was never going to physically harm me. He never has. I was scared I had ruined everything. And being with you two is the only way that’s going to feel any better.”
Jack put down his phone. “You haven’t ruined anything. Your uncle is an asshole who tried to sell you to us. He’s going to prison, Lily.”
Sawyer shook his head. “If this is anyone’s doing, it’s mine. I wanted to pay him off and if I had, this never would have happened.”
“You what?”
Sawyer’s voice stilled for a second. “Before the New York trip I had a conversation with Jack. I was worried something like this might happen, or could happen. I didn’t trust Gino not to use you again for his own business. I thought the only way to keep that from happening was to pay him off for good.”
She blinked. “You’re serious, Sawyer. I don’t know what to say.”
Sawyer groaned, “I know how it sounds. I wasn’t trying to buy you for us. I swear. I was trying to buy your safety. Secure your freedom. Make sure that we could always keep you safe.”
Lily smiled softly. They were all afraid of losing each other. Sawyer was just as scared as she was. “It’s ok. I know you wouldn’t hurt me.” She stepped into his arms again, tilting her lips toward his.
His mouth collided with hers. He kissed her as Jack’s hands wrapped around her waist and she spun into his embrace. She left Sawyer’s lips only to meet Jack’s soft lips with heated tenderness. Sawyer kissed her neck as his hands smoothed over her clothes. She pushed back into him and groaned when she felt the hardness of his cock through her skirt. Jack’s mouth fired with passion.
“I-I want you to take me,” she whimpered. “Please.”
