“Come in,” I called out.

Cyrus peeked his head into the room. “Are we interrupting?”

“No.” I tightened my hold on Piper. “Not at all.”

“Good.” Cyrus came into the room followed by Sammy.

“I’m glad you’re awake and well,” Cyrus told me, pulling up a chair beside the bed.

“Me too. Have you heard anything about Price?” I asked, not wanting to dwell but needing to make sure my girls were safe.

“Not at the moment. I have Rowan looking into it in the meantime,” Cyrus told me.

I nodded, noticing how Sammy stood back. “What’s up with you?”

He shoved his hands in his pockets, his dark eyes locking with mine.

My stomach fluttered. I knew that look. He was plotting. “You leave that shit alone,” I ordered.

Sammy grunted. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

Piper stirred, sitting up and rubbing her eyes. “You know you can’t tell him what to do.”

“Maybe not but I am your vice president,” I reminded him.

“I’m glad you’re well, Jaron.” Sammy pulled a pack of smokes from the inner pocket of his cut. “You also have nothing to worry about. Take care of each other.”

I frowned. “Sammy.”

Instead of listening, he left the room.

“Don’t worry about him.” Cyrus stood, giving my arm a squeeze. “He’s upset that you almost died, that Brynlee was taken in the first place, and that Piper was in the middle of this shit.” He shook his head. “He needs time.”

“He better not do anything stupid, Cyrus,” I warned.

“Take care of yourselves,” he said, ignoring my comment. “We’ll stop by tomorrow.” And with that, Cyrus left the room.

“Sammy said he’s going to go after Price,” Piper told me, placing her hand on my thigh.

“I figured.” I pinched the bridge of my nose, closing my eyes.

“I’ll let you get some rest.”

My eyes popped open when she went to pull away from me. “Don’t you even think about fucking leaving.”

“But you need rest, Jaron. You need to heal and get better so I can bring you home and take care of you.”

Before she could leave the bed, my hand was wrapped around her throat.

A little gasp left her, making my dick twitch.

Pulling her forward, I stared directly into her eyes. “The only thing I need right now, is for you to lay down beside me.” I licked along her bottom lip. “I don’t give a shit that I just got out of surgery either. If you don’t listen to me, I will leave this bed and do what I do best.”

“What’s that?” she breathed.

“Fuck my girl.” I kissed her hard.

A husky laugh escaped her. “You’re not strong enough.”
