My heart had stopped beating for a moment when I saw one of the assailants point his gun towards Jake and I didn't think twice before jumping in front of him to shield him. At first, I didn't feel anything other than relief when I heard his voice which confirmed he was okay until later when we were on our way back did I start to feel a growing stab of pain at my side, I guess the adrenaline from the near-death mission had worn off. I looked down to see a spreading wet patch ad I almost passed out from the pain. I gave out a low groan not wanting to attract attention to myself, I was going to make sure everyone got back safe, and to ensure that, I need everyone to be alert including me in case of any surprises which means I couldn't make anyone panic or anymore stressed. I placed my hand on the wound carefully and applied pressure to slow down the bleeding, you would have thought that after getti

Jake Three days later, Elena still hadn't woken up. The operation had been successful but she had to be put in a medically induced coma because she had lost a lot of blood and was still in the red zone. if they had brought her in any later, it would have been too late to save her thankfully the bullet didn't hit any vital spot and she had been sagacious enough to put pressure on the wound which helped a lot. Jake hadn't left her side since she was brought into the private room he got for her, he had only left to take bathroom breaks when necessary and had ignored mike's plea for him to go home for a few hours at least instead he had made the guy bring clean shirts for him. He had been sleeping on a makeshift bed which wasn't comfortable but he didn't complain, he couldn't. he was supposed to be on that bed or worse in the morgue and this was the only way he shed a little bit of his guilt, he was going to watch over her and make sure she was okay.

Jake Mike had gone to call the doctor after Elena woke up. They did some tests and informed her that she had to stay for a day for supervision then she was freed to go home and take a rest for a week or two before she could resume work and she nodded in affirmation but I had a feeling she was going to do as she was told and was complying because she didn't want to stay an extra day in the hospital. A nurse helped her raise her bed so she was now in a sitting position and they left afterward and we were finally alone as Mike had excused himself saying he had some work to do and left. " So, is he truly going to work this time or going to investigate something else behind me again?" She asked raising an eyebrow at me. I winced at what she said, it was a low blow even if she was right and it was long due.

AshleyI reined in all the desire I had to harm the Master for the first time I'm my life because I knew it would only end in complete and utter failure. I knew the moment I tried anything, I would be put down by the hidden men in the room so I composed myself and nodded my head slightly. " I understand sir but I would like permission to continue my mission. " He frowned and looked deep in thought but as someone who knew him well, I knew he was only putting up a show before he said what he already had in mind. " Fine, you can continue on your mission but there's a catch to it. " I knew it. He rubbed his beard as if whatever he had in mind isn't going to make this harder for me. " What is it?" &

JakeHe had finished up later than he had wanted to but was still in time for Elena's check out of the hospital. He took the lift to her floor flanked by two guards nodding at the nurses in greeting before entering her room.He found her sitting in a wheel cheer now dressed in normal clothes which was surprising because he had never seen her in anything other than her work outfits.A nurse was helping her with her shoes and they both looked up as he entered the room, the guards standing outside the door. He quickly strode towards them with a panicked expression fixed on his face. The doctor in charge of her had told him there was no need for a wheelchair if the wound wasn't stressed. " What's going on? Why are you in a wheelchair?" He asked looking from the nurse to Elena demanding answers. " Good day to you too Jake. " Elena answered back with sarcasm. Jake ignored her turn

Ashley He wheeled me inside the house and towards one of the guest rooms I was familiar with. The room was surprisingly decorated in a feminine style. The window drapes were in lavender color matching the purple bedspread covering the queen-sized bed.There was another door in the room which would likely be the bathroom. I would check that out later when I have settled in. I would have thought he had a female relative who had stayed there for a while if I didn't know almost everything about him which means the room had been used by one of his lady friends. I quickly clamped down the thought, not wanting anything to dampen the mood again. " The room is very beautiful. The previous owner must have liked it a lot." "The previous owner? " " Yea

ASHLEY My eyes flicked open to see Jake looming over me with a frantic look on his face. Someone was screaming near and I looked around but didn't find anyone. " Elena, calm down. It's okay now, it was just a nightmare." He sat on the bed next to me and held me, making sure he didn't come in contact with my injured side. The screams finally stopped and my breath was coming out in short and harsh. I realized then that it was me who was screaming from the throbbing in my throat. I had taken something close to a bath earlier as most of my weight had to be placed on my right foot and I had to be careful not to get my left injured side wet. It was an awkward moment that left me frustrated as I had to spend twice the time I normally spent in the shower and I could only get myself half clean.I had half limped, half dragged myself back to the room before I finally set

Ashley She turned off the shower as it had gone cold for a while and took the wet towel from the sink. She gently rubbed down the left side of her body that wasn't in the shower. She finished up and limped back to my room not minding the chill going through her, She needed anything to take her mind off certain things that had kept her awake all night for a while. The shower had helped but she could feel the headache that had dragged her out of bed setting in again. She looked for the luggage bag she brought in yesterday as she hadn't unpacked but couldn't find it so she decided to look inside the closet. Ashley opened the closet and was shocked at what she found inside. It was filled to the brim with clothes that she didn't recognize as hers and she couldn't find the bag anywhere. She took in a sharp breath and checked the clothes in

JAKE I knew she was going to block me out again but I had to try and use the opportunity. I knew I failed when she abruptly stood up and walked towards the doorway as if she hadn't heard me. she stopped at the exit and turned to me without making eye contact. " I'll pay you back as soon as I can." She said in a slightly shaky voice and left. I might have been ignored but there was something I found out, she really had a nightmare, and judging by the look of panic on her face when I asked her to tell, it was haunting her. I was going to find whatever it was out and make it go away. I felt my chest tighten as I gulped down the remaining water in the bottle. I was going to do everything to protect what was mine. I left the kitchen and went to the living room hoping Mike would be there but he was

Jake He had wanted to get Elena some food to apologize for his actions the previous night and to his surprise, he had met her in the kitchen with her head stuck inside the fridge. Never in his dreams would he have thought he was going to end up in this position, with her between his arms and at his mercy. He had been shocked when she had bent to pick her water and had flashed him her bright red panties. All sane thoughts had fled his brain at the sight. He couldn't control himself as he stalked toward her. He needed to touch her before he combust from how turned on he was. Jake watched as her pupils dilated evidently affected by their proximity as much as he was. He was going to make sure she accepted the chemistry between them as real. " J - Jake please.." she stammered, her breathing becoming uneven. He groaned at that and took the items in her hand placing them on the island beside them without taking his eyes off her. Ashley's hands fell to his chest and she quickly re

AshleyHer brain froze for a moment and she stilled, trying to process what had just happened.Jake was kissing her! Her heart was beating so fast she believed he could hear it too. She closed her eyes taking in the new sensation, as she had never had any experience of a real kiss.During some of her missions, she had to act like a slut to get to her target but she had made sure never to sleep with any of them. When she kissed any of her targets, she never thought of it as anything but work.Jake wasn't moving much but she could feel everything in her system. It was exhilarating. She had started moving her lips against his before she knew what she was doing and she couldn't bring herself to stop.The kiss deepened as his tongue invaded her mouth, clashing with hers and she let out a moan which thankfully jolted her awake.

AshleyShe had been avoiding Jake for a week and succeeded but not without sacrifices.She hadn't been able to ask him to take her back to her apartment so she could get some things she needed and sometimes she even went without food because she was scared he would show up while she was eating.During those times she always found food in her room whenever she wasn't there and she suspected Jake had left it there, so she had taken the opportunity to be scarce from her room when she was hungry.She had always stayed cooped up in her room whenever he was around and wandered the house when he left, using the opportunity to search his room and study for clues of his plan. She had asked the master the reason they needed evidence that Jake was after them when it was so clear but he refused to tell her anything so she continued her search.&n
