Chapter One

It was another rough day for the team. Jaimie had been made point on an undercover assignment. Nick Salusti had heard on the street that Jaimie was married to a major drug dealer name Dean Salinger. She had been hired by Nick to work as a his personal assistant involving numerous business dealings; after she told him she was seeking work because she was separating from her husband & he cut her off.

Flashback:

Carter & Ty had prepped Jaimie & Dean's cover. Dean was an arrogant business man. His business came before his personal life that inclues his wife. Business first, family second. aimie was the wife of a multi-millionaire. They had been together since they were both in their early twenties. Jaimie was 20 when she met Dean. Dean was 24. Dean got involved with the wrong people & he worked his way up the ranks & became successful in the underworld. Jaimie couldn't take it anymore. Dean was working all the time and Jaimie never saw him. She began to feel neglected and soon she told Dean she was leaving him. He told her that if she leaves she's on her own & that he would not support her. Jaimie knew until she seeked an attorney she wouldn't get anything. She knew she had to get a job to support herself. This is how she found Nick Salusti. She knew he had just lost his righthand man and went and asked him for a job.

Present:

Nick was intrigued with Jaimie the moment she walked through his door. He had looked into her story and found that she checked out. He liked that fact that he didn't have to explain things to her. She could figure out how to do things on her own. She set up meetings for him, took inventory & was taking care of his personal matters.

Jaimie had been undercover for four weeks now. Nick had taken an interest in her; he liked what he saw. He decided he wanted to keep her all to himself. Jaimie was taking stock of his inventory when Nick came looking for her. "Hey Jaimie. How are things going?" She looked up at him. "Good." She smiled. I was wondering how things are between you and your husband?" She stood up and started to walk away. "Jaimie? I know you are separated….but I was wondering if you are on speaking terms?"

She turned around and looked right in Nick eyes "Ummm well, we didn't separate on the best of terms. I hurt him when I walked out the door." He grabbed Jaimie's left hand. He started playing with her wedding rings. "Are you going to try & make amends? Is that why you still wear your wedding ring?" Jaimie pulled her hand away. She looked down… "I don't know. I love him. I know that. I just don't want to be second choice anymore. I want to be his number one priority, and right now I am not." Nick reached out & touched her face. "If you were my wife, you would come first." He then leaned in and kissed her. She pulled away. "I can't" She said. "I have to go." He grabbed her by the back of the head. "Just give me a try?' He said roughly as he pushed her up against the wall. She tried to push him off of her. "Nick…what are you doing? I'm married. Get off of me!" He tried to put his hand up her dress. "Come on Jaimie. You know you want it. I promise you'll like it." Jaimie struggled somewhat, she finally pushed him off of her. "Nick….please I am not ready for this. Please not yet." He stood up straight. He smiled "I'm sorry. I…you just don't know what you do to me.

You are so beautiful. I will wait. I am sorry. Will I see you tomorrow? Jaimie smoothed her dress & fixed her hair. She smiled nervously. "Yes. You will see me tomorrow." and with that she left.

Jaimie left the building in quite a hurry. She didn't realize Dean was across the street. Dean noticed she seemed troubled. Something's wrong he thought.

Jaimie got out of her car and went to home to her apartment. She knew she was safe there because she was supposed to have been separated from her husband; so she would have had to either live in their house or have her own place. She left Dean so she had her own place.

She went to get ready to take a shower when she thought she heard someone at the door. She walked into the living and there stood Dean. She walked past him and went to close her blinds and he came up behind her and reached above her & closed them himself. "What are you doing here?" She asked tiredly. He grabbed her hand and pulled her over to sit down on the bed. Looking her straight in the eye "What happened with Salusti?" She put her head down. "Nothing. He just….he just kissed me that's all." Dean raised his eyebrows to her. "That's not all. When you left the building you were a little shaken up. I could tell." "What? You were following me?" She asked hesitantly. "Carter wants me to keep an eye on you. What's better than the bitter husband spying on his wife." "Look I can't help you if you don't tell me what happened." She stood up and started to pace. "He just got a little rough with me that's all. I'm gonna go take a shower." As she started to walk towards the shower Dean stood up and grabbed her by the waist. "Wait a minute! What do you mean he got a little rough with you? What the hell did he do Jaimie? Did he hurt you?" Dean was starting to get angry. "NO!!! He didn't hurt me!" She yelled. "He just…." Dean lifted her chin so she could look at him. "He just…I wasn't prepared. He took me by surprise. When I pushed him away he shoved me up against the wall and I couldn't get him off of me. After I told him I wasn't ready; he let go of me." Dean pulled her close to him. "I'm sorry about that. I gonna have a chat with Salusti tomorrow." She hugged him tight and sighed. "There's something about him that makes me feel very vulnerable."

Dean had told Jaimie to go take a shower and get settled while he filled Carter in on what was going on. "What do you mean he got a little rough with her? Is she okay?" Carter asked. Ty walked over and listened to their discussion. "Tomorrow you go over there and act like the jealous husband." Tell Salusti you are interested in doing business with him but only if he stays away from your "wife". Ty and I will come into play tomorrow night. Let's nail this son of bitch."

Jaimie came out in her pajamas and went into the kitchen and pour herself a glass of wine. Looking over her shoulder she called to Dean "Want some?" He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned his head over her shoulder and looked at her "You sure you want that?" "Yeah. I need to relax." "I can help you do that." He said as he began kissing her shoulder. "Will you just hold me tonight?" "Yeah. Yeah I can do that? Let's get settled and go to bed." He said.

Jaimie had two glasses of wine and she climbed into bed. Dean went and made sure that all the windows and doors were locked and then he climbed into bed behind her and pulled her close to him where they both closed their eyes and fell asleep.
