Chapter 6

The next few days were blissful on many levels. Jenna indulged herself in him – and he in her – both of them realizing that they wouldn't be together for very much longer.

Jenna had to assume that he still felt much as he did when he was with Simone, and although she wasn't necessarily looking for marriage or babies, she rather got the vibe that he wasn't one to settle down; that he was married to his job.

So, in order to have as much as possible to look back on, she took to watching him when she thought he wouldn't notice. Even when she protested that he was exhausting himself and might be setting himself back rather that helping himself recover, he was using everything he could around the house to regain his strength as fast as he could. He was not really allowing himself time to recover as much as pushing himself to heal and get back to a hundred percent as soon as possible.

She didn't like to think about exactly why he was doing that. They never spoke about it, but it was the same reason he carried her phone with him at all times, checking it frequently for a dial tone, and why he had gone around shutting all her windows and checking and improving as best he could the security of all her doors.

It wasn't as if she had weight lifting equipment around – or any exercise equipment whatsoever, frankly – but still, it was strange to have a man in her living room, doing repeated sets of lifting jugs of emergency water she kept in the closet, wearing nothing but the sweats she had bought him, which he had promptly cut off into shorts.

She was in her favorite easy chair, watching him as surreptitiously as she could manage, trying to keep the drool off her laptop. Who needed Netflix or Hulu – which she couldn't get anyway, even when the phone lines were working – when she had this amazing gun show to watch? She could see the muscles rippling in his back, beneath his tanned skin, and could remember the feeling of them beneath her palms as he surged powerfully within her.

Damn, when did it get so hot in here?

He attempted sit ups and was only able to do a few at first – all while groaning in pain – and the same went for pushups, and she had whimpered quietly as he did so, hating to see him in pain – especially the self-inflicted kind. But she understood his purpose and did her best to keep quiet, not wanting to disturb him.

Jenna knew that her life, but more importantly to her, his, would largely depend on how fit he was able to get himself, in what she sensed was a very short time, before he disappeared from her life.

She swallowed hard, resolutely putting that thought out of her mind, which was easier to do since the choppers no longer flew above their heads day and night.
