He let out another huff of laughter. “You saved me. Then tonight, you saved Vin and Bianca. Hell, even Dom. You’re really with us, aren’t you?” He lifted his head and fixed his blue eyes on me.
I nodded. “I am.”
“Well, maybe I’ll let you suck my dick after all.”
I let out a loud laugh. “You fucking wish, you German dick ass.”
He shot me a grin in his drunken state. “Not as much as you do, you Russian fuck waffle.”

The first thing I did when I woke was rush to Dom and Bianca’s room. As if sensing me, Dom pulled the door open and crossed his arms.
“I’m not going to ask again,” I said. “I want to see Bianca.”
His green eyes swept over me before he stepped aside. Bianca lay in their bed, her blonde waves tangled around her as she slept.
“She woke up and went down to check on Vin around five this morning. She fell asleep at his side, and I brought her back up. She needs to rest.”
“Dominic—”
He let out a sigh. “Fine. Go to her. I have some things I need to take care of this morning. Take care of her while I’m working.”
“Thank you,” I said, moving past him. I was still in my gray sweatpants. I slid into bed beside her.
“That’s my spot,” Dominic growled.
“Looks like it’s mine now,” I said, straightening the covers over us. I raised my eyebrows at him, waiting for him to bitch some more. When he didn’t, I smiled, which only made him scowl before leaving the room.
“Mm, Fallon?” Bianca called out in a groggy voice.
“Hey,” I said, hauling her against me. “How’s my princess?”
“Good. Did you check on Vinny?”
“Not really. Levin was in with him. Doc Alan is downstairs. I came straight to you instead.”
“But he’s OK?”
“Last I heard,” I said, placing a kiss on her head.
She rolled over and faced me, cradling my face. “I was scared I was never going to see you again,” her voice cracked.
“Oh, baby. I’m here. We wouldn’t have let that happen.”
“I was so scared for Vinny. For Dominic. For you and Levin.” She sniffled and buried her face in my chest. “I’m so glad everyone is OK.”
“Me too,” I murmured, raking my fingers through her hair. “I was so sick when I heard you were gone. I thought I was going to go insane.”
“I’m sorry. Cole put something in my drink and had a shot girl tell me it was from Dominic. Then Enzo took me when I went with Aubrey to the bathroom.”
“I know,” I said, kissing her forehead and giving her a gentle squeeze. “It’s over now though, OK? You’re here. Vincent is safe. Dominic is alive. Everyone is OK.”
“But for how long?” she asked, pulling away from me. “How long until the next thing happens? Until someone dies?”
“No one is going to die, OK? We look out for one another. We won’t let it happen. Dominic is really smart. I underestimated just how smart and how incredibly insane he is. I feel pretty confident he won’t let anything happen to you or any of us. OK? Believe me?”
She nodded against me, her fingers twisting in my shirt.
