going to survive this.” He shook his head. “This shit with Ennis is at the worst fucking time.”
    “Will do,” Liam said and walked out to his Jeep.
    “See you in the morning,” Conor said and climbed into his black BMW.
    Finn closed the door and wondered how they could be so different and yet similar at the same time. His men worked hard, and he just wanted to make sure that their hard work would pay off in the future. If he wasn’t pulling in good money, he wouldn’t be able to pay them what they deserved and what they expected.
    Some might not understand it at that moment, but in the long run, maybe they would. He wasn’t making any guarantees, but at the rate they had been going, money was going to get tight, and the chances to recover would become very slim.
    He groaned and made his way to the kitchen to pick up something to eat. Things happened at such a rapid pace he hadn’t even had the chance to offer something to Alyssa. It’d help if his house staff were around, but he’d kept their presence at his home minimal in recent weeks, despite still paying them their full wages. Sure, he needed them to keep up his home and they came to occasionally handle some basic tasks, but he didn’t want some innocent housekeeper or gardener getting shot by a Russian.
    Finn piled his plate with a couple of large sandwiches and thought about the day. He really couldn’t figure out what Boris was trying to get at by going after Alyssa. He’d hadn’t really given anyone any indication they were together.
    He cursed. The other night. He’d stayed at her place. They must have been watching.
    Finn grabbed a couple sodas, a bag of chips and the plate of sandwiches then made his way into the living room.
    Alyssa was on the couch sleeping when he walked in. Finn sank into the leather chair across from her and picked up one of the sandwiches. It didn’t take long for him to quickly devour it.
    The TV buzzed quietly in the background, but he chose to stare at her. He couldn’t really explain what it was about this woman. Maybe it was that every time he looked at her, he expected her to sprout wings and buzz around him.
    Finn nearly choked on the last bites of his sandwich with that thought. If she knew he was comparing her to a certain popular fairy, she’d likely rip his dick off and feed it to him for breakfast.
    She sighed softly in her sleep, and he smiled. She looked good sleeping so peacefully. He had checked on her before the left in the morning, and she looked just as serene. Everything in him wished he could sleep like that. Much like Alyssa, his nightmares never seemed to end.
    The only time his sleeping mind was at peace was when he slept in her room at the hospital. It had taken nearly a week for her to even let him in the room. Once in, he wasn’t about to leave so she could ban him again. So, he stayed there with her, guarded her at night and made sure that no one else came to harm her.
    His efforts might have seemed extreme to some, but her injury was his fault. It was all his fault. Maybe if he hadn’t been so busy accusing her, he might have had half a mind to keep an eye on Dale.
    Finn sighed and gathered up the rest of the food. He wasn’t about to wake her after the day she had. If she was hungry, he had no doubt that she’d find something in the kitchen.
    He carried the plate, chips and soda to the kitchen. He wrapped the sandwich and placed a note on top with her name before placing the soda next to the plate.
    When he shut the door, Finn shook his head. It wasn’t really in his nature to be this domestic, but she really couldn’t afford to miss many meals.
    He made his way to the closet off of the living room and pulled out a blanket. He covered her and smiled when she snuggled into the warmth. The steady buzz of the TV went quiet when he hit the button. He flicked off the light.
    The light from the moon filtered in as he made his way back to the chair. It would be better if he just slept there
