Chapter 3

The next couple of days passed without event. I got the impression that as far as Jax was concerned, the sex between us was no big deal. I, on the other hand, tingled and thrummed every time I got within a couple of feet of him. This absolutely would not do.

His wounds were healing nicely, and he had, so far, obeyed my orders not to go back into the pool, and I changed the bandage over his surgical incision every evening. Still, I felt nervous and stimulated every time he was near. Damn him to smithereens!

Over the next few days, I slowly got into a routine at his house. Most of the time, he shut himself off either in his room or in his office, so it’s not like I was bumping into him every minute. I wondered about the threats made against his squadron, but nothing seemed to be happening. Michael hadn’t come by since that first day I was here, but I could tell that Jax was still on his guard. Every morning, and several times throughout the day, and then again before it grew dark, he paced the perimeter of the house, checking windows and making sure doors were locked.

One evening, passing by his office to get to my bedroom, I noticed him sitting at his desk, staring at his computer screen. I waved hello and he gestured me inside. I wasn’t sure I wanted a repeat performance behind his desk. Nevertheless, for a change, he was fully dressed, so I didn’t think that anything would happen. He looked at me and then pointed to his computer screen.

“Want to see?”

“Do I want to see what?” I asked, stepping closer to his desk and peering toward his monitor. I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised to see a surveillance system. His computer screen was now divided into four quadrants, each of which displayed a large portion of his property; the front and the back of the house, the driveway, and the side with the garage. I hadn’t realized he had cameras mounted outside. I had never seen any indication of surveillance equipment.

“Ultra-high-tech,” he commented. “They’re nearly invisible. Clear picture huh?”

I nodded. “You haven’t noticed anybody lurking around have you?” I asked, suddenly worried. Maybe I had been too quick to brush off the warning. I then glanced down at him. “You haven’t heard of any more… accidents or anything happening to other members of your squadron, have you?”

He shook his head. “Doesn’t hurt to be careful though.”

I agreed.

“I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow afternoon. After I’m finished, you want to go down to the beach, hang out for a little while? Get out of here and enjoy some fresh air and feel the wind in your hair?”

I thought about it a moment and then shrugged. Why not? “Sure,” I said. “Sounds fun. Should I pack a picnic basket or something? I can make up some fried chicken and potato salad tomorrow morning before we have to go to your doctor’s appointment.
