After finishing her conversation with her brother, they walked out of his room and back downstairs. They hated when he shut down, feeling bad that they couldn't help him.
"Where's Roman?", Lynn asked.
"Outside, he took Rain out. Something about keeping an eye on Creed", Jimmy said.
Lynn nodded and made her way out. Seeing Roman sitting on the beach and watching the waves crash. Rain wouldn't get to far from him and Lynn noticed she was keeping an eye on Creed too.
"Hey handsome, this seat taken?", she asked as she got close.
"Its all yours", he replied.
She sat and Rain hopped into her lap.
"It wasn't you he was angry at.", she said.
"I know. Its Seth", he replied.
Lynn nodded.
"And our parents. Don't ask, we don't know the whole story. He won't tell us. I think he's more mad at himself that he can't seem to tell Seth no and resist him", Lynn said.
"He loves Seth, trust me I understand. I'd let you back into my life in a heartbeat. No matter how bad you hurt me", Roman said.
She smiled and rested her head against his shoulder.
"Do you still want everything I want?", Roman suddenly asked.
She lifted her head and met his eyes.
"Yes", she replied.
"You can't say you want to be with me and then last minute change your mind. I can't do that again, Lynn.", he said softly.
She cupped his face in her hands. She knew she had hurt him the first time and she wasn't planning on letting him go again.
"I am not going anywhere. I promise. I want to be your queen, I want to carry your children.", she said.
He nodded. He closed the space and kissed her, pulling her onto his lap.
"Roman", she said softly.
"Yeah?", he asked.
"What happens if I can't give you children?", she asked, almost afraid of what he was going to say.
"We adopt. I'm sure there are kids out there who need parents. Who better than us", he said with a smile.
She returned it.
"And if you don't want kids, that's okay too. I just want you happy, Lynn", he replied.
"You need an heir. We could always do a surrogate for that", she said.
He nodded.
"Like I said, whatever you want to do as long as you're happy", he said.
She kissed him again. He pulled away and placed something in her hand.
"Roman?", she gasped.
A beautiful white gold band with a 1/4 carat ruby in the center, surrounded by four white sapphires on each side.
"I never gave up hope. I saw that and I thought of you. So I bought it", he said.
He grabbed it and slipped it onto her left ring finger.
"Roselynn Monica Murphy, will you make me the happiest man alive and say yes to me, for good this time?", he asked.
Her cheeks hurt from smiling so big.
"Yes", she replied.
He kissed her and lifted Rain onto her lap.
"Lets get inside", he replied.
Lynn held Rain close as they made their way inside and to their room.
JoJo had gone to the gym with Naomi and Ember. The twins were on their side of the house napping. AJ and Leslie had gone back with Hunter and Bayley. Seth had just finished his shower when he spotted Liam on the couch with a beer.
He smirked and removed his towel from around his waist. Liam looked up before looking away.
"We have a few minutes", Seth said, straddling Liam.
Liam looked up at the man he loved.
"What's wrong Li?", Seth asked.
Liam rubbed his face with his hands.
"I was wrong, I can't do this with you. I'm hurting JoJo and she doesn't deserve this. I'm engaged, Seth. I want to start a family with her. I'm sorry, but I can't do this anymore", Liam said.
"No, please. I need you, I can't live without you again", Seth said, tears welling up in his eyes.
Liam touched his cheek gently, tears filling his eyes too.
"I'm sorry, I love you too, but I made a promise to her and I don't want to break it", Liam replied.
"Li", Seth whispered.
Liam gently removed Seth from on top of him and got up. Seth took his wrist.
"Don't make this harder than it has to be, let me go", Liam said softly.
Seth did with a shaky hand. He watched Liam disappear upstairs before going to his room and breaking down.
AJ and Leslie were on the couch making out. She would try to get him to move his hands under her shirt or into her shorts to touch her, but he wouldn't. She rubbed her bottom half against his, needing that delicious friction her body craved badly.
He pulled away.
"We should stop", he panted.
She grabbed his shirt and pulled him back down onto her.
"No, please. I need it, if you won't have sex with me at least let me get what I can", her breathing growing heavier as she continued the motion.
He nodded.
"I can give you that", he replied, pressing himself closer.
She moaned loudly. He wasn't going to deny that it did feel good. Better than using his hand again.
"Oh fuck", she moaned before resting back against the couch.
He licked his lips.
"I love you", he said.
She giggled and he smiled.
"I should go shower", she replied.
"Yeah, I need to change", he chuckled.
She kissed him again.
"Why can't we have actual sex yet?", she asked.
"I want to get to know you better. You also haven't agreed to be my queen.", he said.
"Sapphire region, we are having sex. No excuses", she said, standing and making her way to her room.
AJ sighed and brushed his hair back.
"Whatever you say", he mumbled.
Hunter didn't know how they ended up in bed again. He removed the used condom and tossed it into the trash, kissing down Bayley's back gently.
She moaned as he did.
"I should get back to my room", she whispered.
He shook his head no.
"Enjoy being with me while we can. Not having to hide, because once we get home, it will be harder to see each other", Hunter said.
Bayley smiled.
"You think Lynn's plan will work? About making me her second to get Emerald region to accept me", Bayley said.
He touched her cheek.
"It is. She's a smart woman, if anyone can do it, its Lynn", he replied.
Bayley nodded.
"You're going to make a wonderful queen, Bay", he said.
She blushed.
"Everyone will try to compare you to Steph, but don't listen to them. They don't know what they are talking about.", he said.
She nodded.
"Do you want more kids?", she asked, biting her lip.
"I do", he nodded.
She leaned down and kissed him.
JoJo was in the shower stall after her workout when the curtain opened and Bray walked in. He looked her over.
"What are you doing? If one of the girls sees you", he kissed her.
She wrapped her arms around him and he lifted her. He covered her mouth with his hand to muffle her sounds of pleasure. He grunted into her ear.
"JoJo?", Naomi called out.
Bray stopped and JoJo caught her breath before answering.
"Yeah?", she asked.
"Almost done in there girly?", Naomi asked.
Bray started thrusting again.
"Yes", JoJo replied, needing to cry out.
Naomi shook her head before walking back into the locker room. Bray set JoJo down.
"Have you been having sex with him?", Bray asked.
JoJo shook her head no. He nodded.
"Good. Don't.", he replied.
"I can't say no. He'll notice something is up", she whispered.
"Let him. Your job is almost done", Bray said, before disappearing through a set of doors opposite the locker room.
After making love in their room, Lynn woke up to find Roman standing at a table on their balcony and a map set out. He was drinking a cup of coffee shirtless and his hair in a messy bun. Finding his shirt, she put it on and walked towards the balcony.
"Hey, no work", she said softly.
He smiled.
"I'm sorry, I know. I just wanted to get a head start", he said.
Sighing, he rubbed his eyes and she gently squeezed his shoulders.
"If you don't mind me working on my book, I'll let this slide", she whispered.
He smirked.
"Do you girl", he replied.
She kissed his cheek and he quickly grabbed a handful of her butt and she gasped. He laughed before going back to the map. She opened her laptop and a chapter flowed out of her. Hitting save, she opened the file she had for Hunter.
Looking up Bray again and finding out what kind of vehicle he had. The one he had registered was not the car Brie had seen that day. Looking up Bray's brother Bo. The car didn't match either. She was about to give up when she decided to look into stolen cars.
Hacking into the police records. In fact the car was stolen, it went missing the day before the accident. She wrote it down. Along with the man's name. She made a side note to talk to him.
"Babe", she looked up when she heard Roman call to her.
He smiled.
"Dinner time", he said.
She saved the information and shut down her laptop before setting it away.
"Getting any work done?", he asked.
"Oh yeah", she said.
"I can't wait to read this new book", he said, following her down.
