He met her gaze. “You do realize that my brother lives a mile down the road, has his own house, his own pool, and just comes here to drive me crazy?” Xander loved the bastard, but he really didn’t understand personal space.

And Xander had no doubt that Dash had made it over here in time to see Sasha. Whether he behaved or not was anyone’s guess, but he’d better not cross a line. No matter Xander’s history with his ex, she wasn’t here so Dash could make her uncomfortable.

“As long as I know who’s allowed in and out, we’re fine,” Jared said. “I spoke to your publicity team, Ms. Keaton.”

“Sasha, please.”

He inclined his head. “They’re going to forward our tech guy the letters you received. In the meantime, given the fact that someone’s been close to you twice now, I’ll be switching off shifts with Tate Shaw. You’ll have someone on alert twenty-four seven.”

“Thank you,” she said, visibly relieved.

“Sasha, why don’t you go inside.” Xander handed her the keys. If Dash was here, the alarm was already unset. “I just want to talk to Jared for a few minutes.”

She nodded, grabbed the handle on her smaller bag, and rolled it toward the house.

As soon as she was out of earshot, Xander turned to Sasha’s new personal security. “My property already has cameras because, as you see, Dash comes and goes at random times,” he said of his famous brother. “But can your people do a thorough check and upgrade whatever you feel is necessary?”

Jared nodded. “Got it.”

“We’re only going to be out east for the weekend, and then we’ll be in Manhattan for filming, but we’ll be back on weekends.” Upgrading his security system was smart, regardless of how long Sasha would be here.

Jared nodded. “No problem. I’ll talk to Dan,” he said of the man in charge of the agency. “Where will you be staying in the city?”

“My apartment.” Not that Sasha was aware of his plans, but he figured he’d be able to talk her into it the same way he’d done today. “The building has a concierge at the front desk, and you can cover outside my door in case someone gets past them. And you’ll take us back and forth to the set.”

“Consider it done,” Jared said.

They discussed a few more details and shook hands before Xander headed inside.
