Tempting Her Bodyguard 54
RORYThe heat of Carter’s eyes are like a brand on my skin from where he stares at me, on the other side of the kitchen island. He hasn’t taken his eyes off me since the blowjob and while there’s definitely the unmistakable look of awe on his face, there’s also something else. He almost looks unhappy, probably because when we got out of the shower, he’d been so hell-bent on eating me out, to which I’d refused, taken a proper shower and ordered us takeout instead. He looks at me like I’ve taken his favorite thing away. It’s so unexpected, it brings a small smile to my face. His scowl deepens and that does nothing but make my smile widen. Sometimes, I think about the Carter of before and struggle to match him with the man sitting in front of me now. We’ve come a really long way, from not being able to pull a word out of him to him giving them to me freely. From him avoiding me like I was the plague itself to him now being in a foul mood because I refused to partake in an activity that

CARTER“Rory…” Her name is a hoarse sound on my lips, my vision so clouded with lust and hazy around the edges that I can barely make out anything save for her face.“Yeah?”She seems just as distracted as I am. I don’t even think it’s possible she heard what I said with the way her eyes stay glued to my lips. Her lashes are wet and spiky, a droplet of water running down the side of her face and stopping at her upper lip. All I can think about is closing the distance between our faces and licking it off. Her skin has never looked better than it does at the moment. “What are you doing?” Actually, the question I should be asking is ‘what the fuck is wrong with me?’ because how on earth do I have a naked Rory pressed up to me and the only thing I can think to do is ask her what she is doing. Maybe the blood loss had affected my brain after all, because I sure as hell am not thinking right. “I-I…” Rory blinks as she struggles to find her words, her hands dropping to rest on my uninjur

CARTERShe looks around, seemingly at a loss. “Um…”“Need me to refresh your memory?” I’m having way too much fun with this than I should. “If I remember correctly, your words were ‘I want to assist you in taking a shower’. Or are you retracting them?”“Of course not,” Rory huffs, rolling her eyes as she seems to get her bearing back. “Why would I? I said I’ll help you take a shower and I will.”One of my brow quirks up as I appraise her. “Okay, so why am I standing in here and you’re all the way over there?”My mood has significantly improved compared to when I slid out of bed this morning with my arm radiating so much pain, I’d wanted nothing more than to cut the limb off and be done with it. After staggering to the bedside table, pain ringing a fucking anthem in my head, I’d found my prescription, popped two pills in my mouth and washed it down with water before stumbling into the bathroom to take a piss. The fact that I’d woken up to find Rory sleeping next to me yet hadn’t ling

RORY I’m jolted awake by the sound of something crashing to the ground. Frowning, I sit up on the bed, glancing around warily as I tried to make sense of my surroundings. This room looks familiar but it’s not mine. I frown, glancing down at the sheets pooled on my laps. Where the hell am I? That’s when I remember. The lights going off as the room plunged into darkness. Several gunshots ringing out in rapid successions. My head slamming against the ground. Carter getting hit by a bullet. A familiar masculine voice muttering a string of profanities has me hurrying out of the bed and running to the en suite bathroom. In my panic, I don’t remember to knock. I simply twist the door-knob and freeze when I see Carter standing in front of the bathroom mirror, gripping the sink with his one good hand. His head lifts at the sound of the door creaking open and his eyes meet mine in the mirror. He looks like he’

RORYThe doctor clears Carter to leave. He says there are no signs of complications, no excessive bleeding, no signs of an infection or nerve damage and that his vitals are perfectly normal. The amount of relief I feel when he gives us the news is astronomical, like lead weights have been lifted off my shoulder. I’m waiting in the car my dad has called for us while him and Carter talk. It’s the same car from earlier with the same driver who may or may not have heard—or seen—Carter and I having sex. My cheeks burn with embarrassment as I think of it. I couldn’t look at him just now when he’d opened the door for me, for fear that I’d take one look at him and see the confirmation that he had seen us all over his face. A text message pops into my phone and I glance down at it as the screen lights up, staring at Avery’s name. She’d called less than a second after I told her we were at the hospital and she’d lost her shit when I told her I got shot at again and that Carter had shoved me

RORYThe room has erupted into chaos all around me and my eyes are still struggling to adjust to the sudden light again. Worse? I can’t move because there are literal bodies on top of me. All I can see are people’s blurry shoes. Shoes, shoes and shoes. And there’s blood soaking through my gown, people locking me to the ground, and my head hurts like a fucking bitch. Someone grunts and the weight sealing me to the ground reduces. I still can’t move though because there’s still a body on top of mine. It isn’t until my eyes finally blink into focus that I see that the extra weight that had been pinning me to the floor—the one that just left—is Carter and he extends a hand to the person lying diagonally on top of me.My father. I frown, still lying there on the floor as I struggle to piece this scene together because something about it does not add up. For one, I’d not been standing next to my dad when the lights went out. I’d taken a considerable number of steps away from him, actual
