down near a living room end table, Jax turned around and waited while Frank closed and locked the front door. After reading all of the threats before leaving his house, he was glad that he decided to take the job too.
The pull he felt towards Sahara was something unexpected and he wanted to explore it more and he was positive this was the best way to do it. He’d been around other good-looking women before. There was just something about Sahara that made her different...and it had some kind of hold on him.
“After thinking about it some more, I decided it would be for the best if I moved in your place tonight and that’s why I’m here,” Jax said.
“I’m thrilled you accepted, but I can’t tell you if Sahara will be as happy as I am,” Frank admitted.
“No, I’m positive that she won’t share the same opinion,” Jax admitted.
Looking around the living room, Jax suddenly noticed that it was awfully quiet. He didn’t hear other noises going on inside of the house. Where was Sahara? Why did he get the feeling that she wasn’t at home? She should have been home from the mall hours ago. Damn it! He wouldn’t be able to guard Sahara if she truly didn’t believe her life wasn’t in serious harm.
“Where’s Sahara? After I get unpacked I need to talk to her about her schedule and how some things might have to change. She needs to understand that with all of these threats hanging over her head she can’t go wandering around all over town by herself.” Jax could already tell he was going to have a battle of his hands with Sahara.
“Sahara is a very stubborn young woman when she sets her mind to do something. It’s very difficult to change it,” Frank told him as he moved away from the door. “How about I show you to your room and then you can take a better look around the property until she gets back home from her shopping trip?”
“That’s fine with me,” Jax answered as he turned and followed Frank up the staircase. He had to figure out the layout of the house so he would be able to protect Sahara more effectively. She would go by his rules and learn to like them because disobeying them might cost her life.
Jax continued to walk closely behind Frank until his friend stopped at a door at the end of the hallway.
“Here’s your room,” Frank said, pointing to the door behind his back. “I had the housekeeper change the sheets and add fresh towels to the room before she left. If you need anything else just let me know and I’ll get it for you.”
Jax glanced at where his room was located to the end of the hallway figuring out the distance. He needed to be on guard at all times while he was doing his job.
“Where’s Sahara’s room?” he asked. Jax didn’t think that her stalker would be bold enough to break in the house, but he wasn’t going to take any changes. “How far is it from mine?”
“It’s right across from yours,” Frank said. “I thought it might work better if the two of you were close together. I want Sahara to get the best possible protection from you.”
Wonderful ! To have someone who was actually on the same page as him for a change was a good feeling. Now if he could get the person who needed to be to see things his way.
“Good,” Jax stated. “Now, let me get everything put away in my room and then you can show me around. I want to see how the property looks at night and then I’ll take another look in the morning. I want an image of both ways in my head.”
Frank nodded at him. “Get yourself settled in and I’ll go out and pick us up something to eat. Do you have anything special you’d like?”
Jax had been so caught up in getting ready for this new assignment that he just realized that he hadn’t eaten since breakfast. “Is that chicken place still open called ‘Twelve in a Bucket’? I haven’t eaten from there in months.”
“Yeah it is. It doesn’t close until nine on Friday nights. Let me go and pick something up. I’ll get something
