Sara"Well, what?" Jaxon asked with an amused smirk on his face.I rolled my eyes before shooting him a dirty look. I hadn't pushed too hard when he had single-handedly decided to take the call in the hall because I was feeling pretty tired, but I needed to know everything."Ha, ha," I said dryly. "What did Antonio say?" Jaxon shot me a dark look and I rolled my eyes again before rewording my question, "What did Marino say?"Jaxon gave me an approving look before walking further into the room and reclaiming the seat next to my bed. I watched him with a slight frown on my face; he was clearly in pain, wincing as he moved around. Maybe I wasn't the only one who should have been in a hospital bed, but I knew it would be hard to convince Jaxon to do any more than wear that boot.Jaxon sighed tiredly as he settled into his seat, his eyes closing for a few moments as he finally relaxed a little bit. "He says that he didn't do it."I smiled at Jaxon, feeling incredibly smug

Sara When I woke up the next morning, for a moment I completely forgot that we had been in an accident. All I felt was pure contentment from the comfort of Jaxon's strong arms around me. And all seemed right with the world. "Good morning, baby," my husband whispered, and kissed my temple gently, "How are you feeling? I hope I didn’t hurt you last night. I tried so hard to be gentle, given what you’ve been through, but you’re so damn gorgeous I might have gotten carried away!" Then it all came flooding back. The hospital, Jaxon’s injuries, the looming negotiation. But there was also the perfection of last night with my husband. The overwhelming pleasure he gave to me. The safety I felt when I was in his arms."Last night was perfect," I assured him, and I gave him a soft kiss on the cheek. "Absolutely NOTHING about last night hurt me! In fact, quite the opposite, as you may have noticed by my reaction." Jaxon gave me that small smile that he reserved just for me, and pu

Sara I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Marino wanted a truce? He was offering to just leave us alone? Could it be true? And what would Jaxon say? I wanted to trust that the offer was real; I just had no idea what to believe anymore. "So, just to be clear, you’re saying that we stop fighting with each other, we each keep our own businesses, and we’re good," Jaxon said, and he sounded as shocked as I felt. "You really want a truce?" "Not just a truce, more of a collaboration," Marino responded. "I think that you and I could work well together. I’m not saying that we could trust each other overnight. It might not even work out in the end. But I think that if we tried, we might be able to work well together. I have a lot of enemies, I think you are aware of that. Maybe you and I could be friends. Or if not friends, at least we could bury the hatchet and move forward. What do you say?" I hoped that Jaxon would say yes, but I had no idea what he was thinking. My husband h

SaraI sat comfortably at my new desk and opened up my current projects. It felt like it had been months since I last looked at my work. It had certainly been a while since I came into the office. I was beyond grateful that Jaxon moved me up to a better location in the office, away from the gossiping chatter of the bullpen. I had gotten quite a few apologies since I moved, but I still didn’t wish to associate with them any longer. I was happy when Jaxon agreed that I shouldn’t have to. I nursed my coffee while I organized all the work on my computer. I had missed a few deadlines, and I knew I had to keep focused in order to make up for lost time. It felt good to return to work and focus on something real. I started to feel safe and normal again, finally. I woke up in bed next to my husband, we drove to work together–a legal and traditional job–and I loved writing. Everything felt as it should be, and it felt a bit easier to keep all the mess with the crime world and Marino behi

Sara"I can hear you out there," Jaxon's amused voice called out from inside his home office, freezing me mid-step. I'd been pacing in front of his door for close to fifteen minutes now, and I still hadn't worked up the courage to actually go into the office and talk to him. I hadn't felt this nervous in a while, but it was a welcome change.It had been a few weeks since we made our truce with Marino and everything had been quiet. I finally started being able to relax, and I stopped looking over my shoulder all the time–everything was finally okay.I was enjoying my relationship with my husband and rebuilding my relationship with my mother. I was also discovering how much responsibility caring for another living thing was, even if it was just a small dog like King. He was more high maintenance than I'd expected, and I wanted him to always have the best of everything."Are you really not going to come in?" Jaxon called out again, his tone incredulous.I giggled as I opened
