Alex got home with two bags full of groceries to make dinner for James and herself. She wanted James to forget about how she was feeling towards the earlier event. This became clear to James when she took her pants off in front of him before going to the kitchen to make dinner.

James wanted to talk to her about it but he didn't want to force her into saying anything. He took a while but eventually went to the kitchen to talk to her. Alex thought he only wanted something from the fridge so she let her guard down. But all of a sudden she felt hands come from behind her waist.

"You okay?"

"Of course I'm okay haha. *turned around and kisses James* Why wouldn't I be?"

"Well, to me it doesn't look like you're okay... I love you... I don't want to force you to talk about things you don't want to. If you do want to talk about it, I can talk any time. If not, I can just listen, or we could go do something normal couples do... I could get us a laptop and we could just watch netflix all day or something... If you want to hug it out or cry it out, I can be there... I want to be there for you... And I always will... But it'll be a hell of a lot easier if you let me..."

Alex's forced smile faded and she hugged James tight.

"I'm scared James... What I saw yesterday... I don't want to get in your way when something like that happens... I don't want you to get hurt because of... Me..."

"... I won't leave you... There's nothing in this world that can take me away from you... You can learn along the way... Not to kill, I don't ever want that for you... But at least to defend yourself. *kisses Alex's forehead* Go get some rest, I'll call you when dinner's ready."

"Wait.. You cook?"

"Umm... Yeah."

Alex smiled and wiped a tear from face then went to their room. Some thirty minutes later, James called her saying dinner was ready. Alex thought James had made tacos but he explained that it just tapioca, a typical brazilian dish.

The same way Alex went into the room, she came out, without any pants. At this point in their relationship, just the thought of Alex got James hard and she was beginning to notice that.

During dinner Alex started making small "faces" to tease James and it was working. When she saw that he was having difficulty staying in one position on his chair, she stretched her leg out under the table and caressed his crotch with her foot. Alex blushed a little and smiled when she felt that he was completely hard, she got ready to climb over the table and start another session of fun but was interrupted by their door being smashed open.

It was the same hired killer from the night before, ready to claim her prize. But she was at a disadvantage this time. This time, James was ready for her. While Alex went to see Crissy, James was investigating the mercenary that attacked him and now knew everything he needed to know about her to get rid of her.

She began with the same attack as the first time, throwing a knife which James caught with ease and threw back at her. James signaled Alex to go to the panic room then charged at the woman, dodging everything she threw at him in the short distance it took for him to get to her.

Alex made her way down the hall, into the room on the right and opened the closet she found in there. It was an escape plan in a way. Alex found one pistol in the closet which she took to defend herself should she need it... Not that she knew how to use it. From down the hall, she heard James shout out,

"Lex, get packing! I'll be back in a minute or so!"

Alex grabbed a small gun and went to the bedroom to get started. Meanwhile, James was dealing with their intruder, blocking hits, taking the occasional stab, until he grabbed the woman by the wrist and crushed the device she used last time to get away. They were outside the apartment, three blocks from where they got out, James wanted to keep the fight away from Alex. While constantly dodging attacks, James began talking to the woman.
