Seth tried really hard not to listen in on their conversation, but it was hard not to in this small space. He was thankful when his walkie went off.

"Rollins, we need to stop. Aleister is up ahead and apparently the ramp is closed.", Dean said.

"What? No. I have no mention of them closing it today. Make a call to Opal and see what's up. We need to get through", Seth said.

Seth sighed and looked at the driver.

"Stop at the gas station", Seth said.

The driver nodded and Dean's car was already parked. He noticed Aleister and Ricochet drive up and park.

"Stretch your legs, use the restroom, we'll be a minute", Seth said.

"Okay", JoJo replied, getting off.

Liam kept eye contact with Seth, which was a bad idea. Feelings he had buried were surfacing. Seth got off and watched as Aleister smirked, crossing his arms over his chest.

He and Seth slept together a few times before Liam. Aleister had also asked Seth out several times, but he's declined each time. He turned to see Liam and JoJo kissing while getting some snacks inside the small store.

There was no point in declining anymore. The guards all got together.

"Opal was keeping their road open for us. What happened?", Seth said.

"I called them, Trish and Lita don't know why its closed. They didn't approve.", Ricochet said.

"Rico and I drove past the sign. Back and forth. Nothing wrong with the road, no one repairing anything. Someone doesn't want us to take this road", Aleister said.

"Should we?", Dean asked.

"I say we go for it. We've got weapons, there's guards with Miss Murphy's family. We can handle it.", Ricochet said.

"We can call for backup before driving through, or I can call Trish and Lita again and ask them to send guards to meet us half way", Aleister said.

Seth shook his head no.

"We don't want to draw too much attention to ourselves. We will drive through, keep your eyes open", Seth said.

The men nodded. They each went to their cars and waited for Leslie, JoJo, and Liam to finish up. Aleister took Seth's hand, stopping him.

"Have I told you how good you look in that uniform", he said.

Seth smiled and laughed softly. Their hands locked. He licked his lips.

"Not lately", Seth said.

Aleister placed his free hand against Seth's cheek. He leaned in. He waited to see if Seth would stop him. He didn't. He pressed his lips against Seth's, his tongue swiping his bottom lip. Seth allowing him in.

Liam stopped when he saw Seth making out with another guard. Leslie stopped beside him.

"You didn't expect him to sit around, did you", his sister said.

"He broke it off with me. Now I see why.", Liam said.

Leslie rubbed her brother's back gently.

"I'm sorry", she whispered.

He shrugged and continued to the car. Seth pulled back and forced a smile.

"Hey, Black, lets go. You'll see him when we get home", Ricochet laughed.

"I'll see you back in Ruby region", Aleister said.

Seth nodded and released Aleister's hand before making his way back to the waiting car. Seth stopped when he saw Liam leaning against the car.

"Where's JoJo?", Seth asked.

"In the car", he replied.

Seth met Liam's eyes.

"You have no right to be mad. You're the one who's engaged.", Seth whispered.

"I have every right to be mad. Just admit it Seth, he was the reason you and I broke up", Liam whispered.

"No. Liam, I didn't", Liam lifted his hand, stopping Seth.

"Doesn't matter anymore. We've both clearly moved on", Liam whispered.

"If you've moved on, why are you jealous?", Seth asked.

They had to keep their voices down so JoJo wouldn't hear. Seth slid his hand into Liam's. Before Seth could say anything else, Dean pulled up.

"Lets get moving bitches", Dean said.

Liam pulled away from Seth and got into the car. Slamming the door. Dean looked at his friend.

"Seth, focus", Dean said.

Seth nodded and got into the car.

Hunter noticed how nervous Lynn looked. They were waiting to hear from someone in Ruby region. Having enough, Hunter asked for permission to go to Ruby region. Roman granting it.

"Where are we going? I've got work to do", Lynn said.

She actually had a meeting with Trish and Lita. She was told if she wanted to visit she had to wait for permission. They had cleared her visit, thanks to Roman.

"Then pack it up and lets go. I have somewhere I need to take you", Hunter said.

She sighed. Packing up her notes and files on the investigation.

"So, say I wanted to visit Opal region", Hunter spun on his heels and cut her off.

"No. I won't let you", he said.

"But", he lifted his hand.

"Its too dangerous. Someone clearly knows what's going on here. What's going to stop them from hurting you", he said.

"I can cut through Ruby region. I've got Jimmy and Jey, I'm sure if I ask Roman, he'll grant me more guards", Lynn said.

"Lynn", Hunter sighed.

She placed her hands against his cheeks.

"I can take care of myself, I've been doing it my whole life. You want to figure out who killed your family, I have to go", she said.

He nodded. She kissed him, he was getting braver, his hands explored her body. She pulled away a bit.

"I'm going to go get my laptop", she said, before quickly walking away.

In the car ride, she worked on her book some more.

The young man had taken the beautiful woman to a frozen lake, the moon was out and full, no clouds in the night sky. Stopping in the middle of the lake, he pulled her in and kissed her. An earth shattering kiss, that was a feeling she had never felt.

"When can I read it?", she jumped when Hunter brought her out of writing mode.

Shutting the laptop quickly. She blushed.

"What?", he asked.

"Its just not finished yet. Mostly notes for each chapter I'm writing out", she lied.

He nodded.

"I want to be the first one to read it", he said.

"And you will be", she said.

He smiled and set his hand on her thigh. She smiled.

"Oh and just to warn you, Sasha doesn't like me much", Lynn said.

"Because of your past with Roman?", he asked.

She nodded.

"Just don't let her get to you, remember she is still queen. One wrong move from you and she'll want punishment. Don't give her anything", Hunter said.

She nodded.

"Act like a queen", Lynn said jokingly.

"You are a queen", he mumbled.

She met his eyes.

"You haven't answered me on that", he said.

She brushed her hair behind her ear.

"Does it scare you?", he asked.

"A little. I mean, being a queen is a big deal. Then there's the whole keeping the marriage together and happy. Add kids to that, things will just get more hectic and just thinking about it is all too much", she said.

"Well, if you asked me. I think you would do a wonderful job", he said.

"And my writing. I would never have time for that", she said.

He squeezed her thigh and she took a deep breath.

"Trust me, Lynn. If you say yes, I promise to make sure that you will have time for writing, our marriage, and kids.", he said.

Our marriage? Kids? He just didn't understand how that scared her.

"Were you ever scared to be king?", she asked.

"Truth?", he asked.

She nodded.

"Yes. I mean, I grew up knowing I was taking over for my dad when the time came. It still scared me though. I kept telling myself I was never going to be half the king my father was.", he said.

He met her eyes.

"What if I couldn't make the right decisions. Decisions that effected not just me, but everyone in Emerald region.", he said.

"You've done well so far", she said.

"Apparently not. I did something that pissed someone off so much that they killed my family.", he said.

He looked at her.

"Is that what scares you about possibly becoming my queen?", he asked.

"No. I have my own issues with that.", she said.

"Issues I can solve for you?", he asked.

She giggled.

"Just give me time", she said softly.

He nodded and leaned over, kissing her cheek.
