“What’s going on with you?” Finn whispered, leaning over to Jack so the others in the meeting couldn’t hear. “Is kara causing trouble again?” Jack shook his head. “Not kara.” “Okay, so what’s going on? You haven’t been this cranky for weeks.” “Nothing,” Jack replied. “Just wish Carter would shut up so I can do some actual work.” “You know what meeting days are like,” Finn replied, not letting the matter drop. “Something else is definitely going on.” “Do you have something you’d like to share with the class?” Carter asked, looking at Jack. Jack opened his mouth to hurl an insult at Carter and then closed it again when he saw the rest of the team watching him. He couldn’t get into this here with Carter. Not in front of all these people. He might be pissed off with Dianna, but he would never air her dirty laundry in front of everyone. Jack waved his hand at Carter to go on and turned away from Finn so his friend couldn’t draw him into another conversation and draw Carter’s

“This final article for Paper It’s shit. I am not going to put it up on the site.” “What are you talking about?” “Jack, this article reads like someone else wrote it. It doesn’t match up with any of the other posts and it doesn’t mention Dianna by name at all.” “I wrote nothing bad about the game or Black “No, but it is not exactly the glowing endorsement all the others are. Did you piss Dianna off again? Did the two of you get into a fight?” “Not a fight, no,” Jack said slowly. “But I found something out about her I thought you should have already known. In fact, if your background check into her was so thorough, then you never would have let her move into the building.” Carter frowned at Jack. “What the hell are you talking about? Dianna is squeaky clean. We couldn’t ask for a better tenant.” Jack snorted. “Yeah, if you think an addict is a good tenant.” “An addict?” Carter looked at Jack like he just sprouted a second head. “What the fuck are

Jack barely slept. He kept replaying conversations he’d had with Kei Ren—Dianna. How did he not know? He should have known, shouldn’t he? All the times she complained about her neighbor—which he now knew was him—should have tipped him off. They had been playing online together since before Dianna moved into the building, but he still felt he should have known that his gaming partner lived right across the hall. It was almost— almost —another betrayal, but she didn’t know he was JJ from JJ and the Kid. She would never have been so open with him if she had known, especially not when they still hated each other IRL. And then there was the conversation they’d had recently when she told him she had an illness and how it had caused her last partner to leave. He’d encouraged her to be truthful with her new partner, assuring her that if he loved her, he wouldn’t run away. But Jack had run away. He’d done exactly what she was afraid he’d do. Jack had taken one look at her on the floor and im

“You bastard,” Jack said with a shake of his head. “Was that some sort of test?” “I wanted to make sure you were really in love with her and this wasn’t your rescuer complex coming out.” “I don’t have a rescuer complex,” Jack snorted. “Oh, you absolutely do, but I can see that this isn’t that. You really have fallen in love with Dianna.” “That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you,” Jack said with an exasperated huff. “So how do I fix this?” “Talk to her,” Finn said. “Talk to her?” “Maybe take chocolate.” “So she can throw it at me?” Finn grinned. “Maybe make sure they’re all soft centers.”They started coming as soon as she got to work, and then every fifteen minutes after that. Dianna had thought the tart debacle had been bad enough, but this was getting ridiculous. It wasn’t as if she could turn them away. They were Ashby Chocolates after all. No one sent back an Ashby Chocolates gift, especially not the soft-centered ones. Besides, each one was a different letter

“Jack,” Dianna said cautiously. His eyes ate her up greedily. She looked better than she had the last time he saw her and a hell of a lot better than when he found her on her bathroom floor. She looked better, but not There were still dark smudges under her eyes and she stood stiffly as if she were bracing herself. But that could be because he was in the office and he was the last person she wanted to see. “Take a seat, Dianna,” Mason said. Jack had forgotten Mason was even in the room, and by the little jolt that went through Dianna, she hadn’t seen him either. Dianna crossed the office and took a seat. Jack waited for her before he also took a seat. Mason knew why Jack was there. He knew Jack was trying to make up for his epic failure with Dianna. This was Mason’s way of trying to help Jack, although getting called into his office was terrifying. Jack couldn’t exactly pinpoint what made Mason so scary; there was just an air about him that let you know he was the alpha in the

He reached out and gripped her hand. He did it unconsciously, but he needed to touch her. He didn’t know what disorder she was talking about, but he already knew it had no cure. It scared him, the unknown. “Tell me,” Jack said. “I want to know.” Dianna looked at him for a long moment before she exhaled slowly. “I have fibromyalgia,” she finally said. “Fibromyalgia?” Dianna nodded. “Have you heard of it? Do you know anything about it?” “I’ve heard the word, but I don’t really know what it is.” Dianna took another deep breath. “I don’t know how to say this without sounding like a Wikipedia page,” she said. “Hit me with it,” Jack replied. “I’m all for a Wikipedia page explanation.” “Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder that causes widespread pain, general fatigue, brain fog, and a whole host of other things that pretty much make life difficult. In the most simplistic terms, my brain doesn’t interpret pain the same way other people’s brains do. There are also a myriad of oth

Jack took Dianna home. She probably should have stayed at work but…Jack was giving her his dragon-eyes and she’d missed him so much and, and, and…and she just wanted to be with him. They made it to her apartment before he started kissing her. They didn’t quite make it into the apartment. Instead, he pushed her up against the door and devoured her mouth. Dianna wasn’t complaining…although a less public place and fewer clothes would be better. “Bedroom,” she managed to breathe between kisses. “Naked,” he agreed, giving her enough space to unlock the door but not breaking their contact entirely. How they got to the bedroom, she didn’t really know. One minute they were in the hall and the next minute they were in her room and the front door was slamming shut. He must have used some sort of dragon magic on her…or maybe he just picked her up and carried her. Yeah, it was probably the second one, but he could have shape-shifted into a dragon and Dianna wouldn’t have cared

Dianna ran her hands down the skirt of her dress to smooth it…not to smooth it, but to wipe her sweaty hands. Who was she kidding? She was trying to be cool. She was not cool. A warm arm circled her waist and pulled her back against an equally warm chest. She breathed in Jack’s familiar scent and closed her eyes for a moment. “You okay?” he whispered into her ear before kissing her neck just below. “Nope,” she whispered back. “I’m freaking out.” He wrapped his other arm around her and tugged her closer. She let herself lean on him, stealing his strength, or if not exactly stealing it, borrowing it. “I’m here for whatever you need,” he replied. Dianna clutched his arms and reveled in the feel of them and his solid, steady body behind her. He was calm, his breathing deep and even. She slowed her own breathing to match his and let his steadfast calmness wash into her. Felicity walked into the small back room where they were waiting and Dianna’s eyes fle
