Chapter Five

Jensen spent the weekend with her, and it felt completely natural to have him there. He soothed away any remaining fear, but it wasn’t simply a security measure to have him present. She liked having him nearby, his arms never more than a few feet away from her if she needed a hug or just wanted to cuddle on the couch to watch television. It was a comfortable, relaxed weekend, other than the hours they spend in bed. There was nothing relaxing about that, but it was invigorating and amazing.

By the time Monday rolled around, she was sad to see him go, but she didn’t suggest he return to the apartment after work. It was what she wanted, but it felt too soon. Last time she’d rushed into something like that, it ended badly. She didn’t expect Jensen to reveal himself to be a controlling psychopathic stalker, but common sense and experience had taught her to proceed more slowly. That didn’t keep her from accepting his invitation to dinner that night, and if he happened to come back to her place, or she went to his, she wouldn’t worry too much about it.

When she arrived at the office, driving a rental car Jensen had surprised her with that morning, she let herself in and found Bethany and the intern Lindsay going over some paperwork. She caught Bethany’s eye, and her friend nodded, seeming to read that she needed to talk. With a brisk word of parting, she sent Lindsay on her way to the copy machine, and Olivia went on through to her office.

By the time Bethany joined her a few minutes later, with two mugs of coffee straight from the Keurig, she was seated behind her desk, purse stowed away in her drawer, and ready for the day—except for the continuous mental distraction from thoughts of Jensen.

Bethany placed a cup of coffee in front of her before sitting in the chair across her desk. “What’s up? You look…actually, I’m not sure how you look. You look somewhere between exhausted and exhilarated…and perhaps a little fearful?”

“You’re always so astute, Bethany.” As she waited for her coffee to reach room temperature, she recounted the events of the weekend for her friend, leaving nothing out, though she didn’t go into explicit detail about the sex with Jensen, because that would be a bit too personal to share. Plus, she was certain Bethany would tease her mercilessly about ending her dry spell, or at least she would have if her friend hadn’t been concerned about the vandalism incident and Blake Michaels’ behavior.

“I’m glad Jensen was there to protect you.”

She should probably find offense at those words and remind her friend she didn’t need anyone to protect her, but instead she just nodded. She could take care of herself, and she had with Gary, but it had been nice to have someone else to lean on for a little while and to let Jensen handle the hard parts. She wouldn’t want to lean
