investigation and you have the hot’s for the target who apparently to everyone’s surprise also has the hot’s for you. Right now you, to whoever is behind this are nothing more than a publicity stunt. If that is your woman when she goes to bed tonight, go with her. Get fully into character,” Trent advised.
“If I get fully into character, I am going to be compromised. I like her, really like her, and I am compromised enough as is,” Ethan responded.
“My father always says, “That a man shows his love for his woman, not only by saying, he loves her but by showing her. For a woman you love, you are willing to protect and provide for,” Trent said.
Trent noticed that Ethan was still hesitating to go in full throttle. He asked, “Do you want her to dump you for Trujillo?” Not waiting for an answer, “Trujillo could you handle the assignment?” Trent asked.
“I got it,” Ethan growled.
“Dude, get out of your head. You guys are feeling each other. Maybe something will develop from it, maybe not. If this develops into something more, then awesome, if not then you can save face by saying it was just the job?” Townsend said.
Trent continued, “Ethan I need Luke on my sister, she is the one that always has the inside track on State Representative Jasmine Anderson, she could become a target.”
“I just assigned Trujillo to her this morning. She is fascinated with the long hair, Native American tales and culture. She can interview him for days and not even realize that she is being tailed,” Ethan explained.
“Claire is very smart,” Trent said. “She picked her own tail and let you believe you assigned it,” Trent said.
“Trujillo,” Trent bellowed his name.
“Trent I have no intentions of touching your sister,” Trujillo responded before Trent could go any further.
“My man,” Trent responded.
They were turning into the Blake-Moore Estates when Trent said to Ethan, “You got to start putting your foot down with Jasmine if you really want this to work.”
“Yeah, you can’t let her run all over you man,” Trujillo echoed. She is used to having to help run a State.”
Townsend let out a breath before saying, “Ethan, they are setting you up.”
“I already know,” Ethan responded.
They all enjoyed a chuckle before getting out of the car.
Chapter 20
Ethan checked in with the rest of them team, who were all at Jasmine’s villa.
Marisol spoke for the group and advised him that Jasmine had completed her first day of physical therapy, and even learned a few self-defense moves. She was still stiff and sore, but she was still in the game. She was currently in a meeting with Ms. Jeffcoat and Katrina planning her big Memorial Day fundraising event. Later her girlfriends were coming over for dinner.
Ethan responded, “I am going to go check in on her and make her aware of some changes with our setup and then I will be out to meet with everyone at our headquarters.”
He walked back to Jasmine’s study where her team was assembled taking notes. He tapped on the door lightly. Jasmine looked up and threw a smile over her shoulder. She went over to her desk and picked up her schedule for the next two days along with a copy of the Sunday Newspaper. They were on the cover kissing, holding hands as they walked through the memorial and the last one was of him helping her into the car. Her approval ratings were up due to the public sympathy and her becoming more human to the voters.
He passed the newspaper back to her, and then asked her to come speak with him out in the hallway, or even better, excuse the ladies for just a moment. Jasmine opted to excuse the ladies for a few moments to give them more privacy. When the door was closed, Jasmine sat on the edge of her desk and said asked, “What is going on?”
“I am moving in tonight and sharing your bedroom with you,” Ethan responded simply.
“Why?” Jasmine asked and crossed her arms in front of herself waiting for a
