Cian sprints across the lawn, and I look up to see the girls clutching her hands. Harper’s knees buckle, and she falls to the ground, which has us all racing over to her. Once I reach them, the girls jump into my arms, and I pull them to my chest.

“I think she is dead,” Sadie cries.

“She was bleeding a lot,” Eloise sobs out.

“I’m fine,” Harper croaks. “I was a little dizzy.”

Van picks Harper up in his arms and runs with her toward the ambulance, which has pulled up beside the fire truck. I walk across the grass, taking the girls to the same place.

“Check the girls first,” Harper says.

“Miss, but you’re bleeding,” the younger paramedic says.

“Then you better check them fast before I drop dead.”

Cian chuckles at Harper. “You scared the life out of me, Sweetheart.”

She smiles at him. “Just a little payback.”

Something catches Harper’s attention, and she gets to her feet. Van tries to grab her arm, but she shrugs him off even though she staggers minutely, and I watch what she is doing as the girls get checked out by the paramedics. She confidently strides up to Celia—whose back is to Harper—and when she turns around, Harper cocks her arm back and slams her fist hard into Celia’s nose, causing blood to spurt everywhere.

“You fucking whore!” Celia shouts.

The cops jump into action and grab Harper.

“That cunt is responsible for all of this. And her friend is still inside.”

Celia’s eyes go wide. She looks at Cian, but he shakes his head. “You have no proof,” Celia shouts as the cops put her in cuffs.

“We don’t need any,” Ronan says. “I’m sure we will get justice.”

Harper tells the firefighters the upstairs emergency door was left open, and one of them asks Ronan how to override the house’s lockdown system. I leave them to deal with it, as I don’t give a fuck if the house burns to the ground now that everyone I care about is out. My girls and woman are okay, and that’s all that matters.

To be safe, we are told the girls and Harper need to go to the hospital to be monitored. So they are loaded up into the ambulance, and I join them. No one tells me to get out, not that I would, and I think they know it. Harper gets into a second ambulance that arrives, and Van jumps in with her, while Cian and Ronan deal with the shitshow.

Harper refuses to let the girls be taken out of her sight, so the doctor stitches up her arm while she sits on the end of Sadie’s bed. Eloise didn’t want to watch, but Sadie was almost in Harper’s lap, entranced. Harper refused any further treatment, so the doctor told us to monitor her.

Van sits in the armchair in the corner of the room, and Harper sits on my lap. I’m not normally a PDA kind of guy, but she saved my daughters’ lives, so I owe her.

“You know you’re a badass,” I whisper in her ear. “But you risked your life—maybe you need to be punished.”

She shivers. “Yes, please.”

“You two are not doing that,” Van says. While he can’t hear exactly what we’re saying, the guy knows me well. “The house was on fire when we left, so I highly doubt we are staying there again soon.”

Harper slumps in my arms. “Don’t worry,” I whisper. “We own more properties than just that one.”

Van gives me a death glare, and I try not to smirk at him. Harper will get a spanking, at the very least. My cock gets hard, and Harper laughs just as Ronan and Cian walk into the room, followed by a nurse.

“You are all free to go. The girls’ tests came back all clear. Miss Daniels, I would highly recommend that you get the same tests done as well.”

“I’m completely fine,” Harper says, pushing up off my lap, knowing damn well my cock is hard as fuck.

“Okay, well, here is some information on things to watch for. If either you or the twins show any of these signs, please come straight back in.”

“Thank you, Rachel, we appreciate it,” Harper says. She then turns to Ronan, who throws his arms around her and pulls her into his body.

“You’re squishing me,” Harper says with a laugh.
