“We’l work something out, honey. It’s going to be okay.”
    She nodded, and he wanted to say more, but the door opened, and the doctor came into the room. Wade was ushered into the hal where Cherry and Dante waited.
    He went straight to Cherry and wrapped his arms around her. “It’s going to be okay.”
    “She’s agreed to come stay with you?”
    “I wish, but no. I am, however, going to be her bodyguard until we can figure out who this guy is and catch him.”
    “Thank you, Wade.” Cherry pul ed out of his arms and stepped back. Dante placed his hands on her shoulders from behind. Their relationship was so different than the one she’d had with Brody. There hadn’t been much support or comfort in that. Brody had always been too self-absorbed to give a damn about his wife’s needs. It did his heart good to see Cherry so wel loved by Dante.
    Thinking about Cherry’s ex reminded Wade that he’d forgotten to tel Cherry about Brody’s phone cal the other day. “Uh, Cherry, I hate to mention this now and risk adding more stress to your day, but Brody cal ed me.”
    Cherry nodded. “Yeah, I know. Unfortunately the idiot cal ed me, too.”
    “I had a word with him,” Dante muttered.
    “A word, huh?” Wade knew better. Dante was protective as hel of Cherry. “You put the fear of God into him, didn’t you?”
    Cherry smiled. “I’m pretty sure we’ve heard the last of Brody, Wade.”
    “Good,” Wade replied. “That’s one problem solved, at least.”
    “I need to ask you something about Gracie,” Cherry said, her eyes fil ed with concern. “Please don’t take it the wrong way.”
    He didn’t like the sound of that. “Shoot.”
    “What are your intentions toward her?”
    He quirked a brow. “My intentions? What are you, her mom?”
    Cherry rol ed her eyes. “Of course not, but I am a friend. I don’t want to see her hurt.” She visibly cringed. “No more than she already is, I mean.”
    Wade snorted. “I don’t think I’ve made a big secret out of the fact that I want her, Cherry. I have since she started working for you. But I’m not going to push myself down her throat either.”
    “She’s vulnerable right now. She needs a friend more than she needs a lover. I know you can see that, Wade.”
    “What I see is a woman in need of my help. I’m going to give it to her. If she ends up in my bed it’l be because she wants to be there and not because she was coerced.”
    Cherry dragged her slim fingers through her hair, as if frustrated with him. He wasn’t used to her prying into his personal life and he wasn’t sure he liked it one damn bit. Especial y where Gracie was concerned. He was stil trying to figure that one out himself.
    “I’ve never seen you like this. What is it about her that makes you so persistent? Is she a chal enge, is that it?”
    Wade’s emotions were too close to the surface on this, and he snapped. “You need to back off, Cherry.”
    “Watch it, Harrison,” Dante said, interjecting for the first time. He wrapped an arm around Cherry’s middle, pul ing her back against him.
    Dante sent him a look of warning over Cherry’s head, and Wade got the message loud and clear.
    “Damn it, I’m sorry. I’m pissed that she’s hurt. Pissed I wasn’t there to stop it. Pissed that she didn’t confide in me sooner. She’s been dealing with this prick for two months, and al this time she never said a word.”
    Cherry placed her palm against his cheek. He instantly relaxed. “She’s opening up to you now, and that’s al that matters. Just be careful with her. I don’t think she knows how to handle al your . . . attention. She’s a bit innocent when it comes to men, I think.”
    He’d noticed that as wel . The first time he’d asked her out to dinner, she’d stammered and blushed like a teenager being asked to go to prom. He’d wondered then just how experienced she was and why someone hadn’t snatched her up already. When she’d turned him down, he’d
