“Kim’s place is wired, and her doormen are vigilant, Jax. We’ve got guys on her when you’re not with her. Harmony’s covered.”
“I wish that made me feel better.”
“I get it, brother.”
“Yeah, I know you do.”
Brock had met his wife Bailey when she was in our protection. He’d fallen for her the second he’d met her, but because she was a ‘job,’ had tried to force down his feelings.
He’d failed.
“I just wish she’d stay with me,” I admitted.
“I hear ya.”
“Jax?” Harmony called.
“I need to go, brother,” I said.
“Okay,” Brock said. “If I hear anything, I’ll let you know, but just try to relax for the moment.”
“Easier said than done.”
“No doubt,” Brock agreed. “I’ll talk to you later.”
I hung up and headed back to the bathroom to help Harmony get out of the tub.

Harmony
Four weeks later...
“Your ankle looks great,” Doctor Stone said, pulling up the new set of X-rays. “As long as you go slow and don’t run any marathons for a few weeks, you can just wear the brace for another week, then you’re good to go.”
Doctor Stone was the older brother of Dallas Stone, one of Jaxon’s partners in the FBI, and he was gorgeous. I mean, it made sense...Dallas was gorgeous, so of course, Alec would be, plus the doctor factor ratcheted it up a notch.
“So, no more crutches?”
He smiled. “No more crutches.”
I beamed at Jaxon. “We can go shopping now.”
“Yippee,” he deadpanned, and Alec laughed.
I clapped my hands. “Let’s go. Mama needs new plates.”
“Jesus,” Jaxon hissed, and I grinned taking his hand.
“Stop playing coy. I know you’re just as excited as me.”
“Oh, yeah. Hold me back.”
“Well, you two have fun. Call me if you have any questions.”
“Thanks Doc,” Jaxon said.
I shook Alec’s hand. “Yes, thank you.”
