Lahat ng Kabanata ng Tempting Her Bodyguard : Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

RORYMy heart hasn't stopped it's racing pace by the time I step out of the elevator into one of the floors the company uses—the floor my boss' office is on. The walk to her office is done on auto-pilot, and when I get there, I knock on the door once and wait, trying my hardest not to shift from foot to foot like a nervous teenager. I feel like I'm about to be given detention. Her "come in" is loud and toneless. Just like the song my thoughts are creating right now. "Rory," she says in that same neutral tone when I enter the office. "Please have a seat."That's when I realise that she's not alone.There are two chairs in front of the huge mahogany table opposite her chair and one of them is occupied by a beautiful woman that works on the same floor as me. Right next to me, actually.Her blonde hair is tied pack in a ponytail that swishes as she turns to look at me, her eyes following my movements. I can't qu

CARTER “You’re wearing two different shoes. You know that right?”Rory frowns, looks down in confusion, then her eyes grow wide. “Oh, shit. I can’t believe I went out like that. I was so distracted, I literally just shoved my feet into the nearest things I could find.” Her head falls back on a groan. “God. People must have thought I was crazy.”So, she hadn’t known. It just makes me all the more curious as to what had happened that had caused her to leave in such a hurry. I lean back against the counter and fold my hands across my chest, watching her as she hops onto the counter on the other side of the big kitchen. It takes her a few tries before she finally manages to park her ass on it.My eyes fall to her swaying legs dangling over the edge and it almost brings a smile to my lips. She’s so small.I’d deliberately stuck to this side of the kitchen, wanting to put as much space as possible between us. The more space there was

RORY“Oh, you’ve seen Tiago already.” Dad finally breaks the ice. He’s oblivious to what’s happening between me and Carter as he walks round the table to where Elaine, who I’m just now noticing, stands.Deliberately not meeting Carter’s eyes, I pull back from Tiago and say, “Yeah, I didn’t know he was in town.”“Just came in,” Tiago tells me, giving me a pat on my head. Now, that action is the furthest thing from sensual—no one wants a guy they’re attracted to to pat them on the head like that—but of course it’s not going to come off that way to Carter. He’ll only see what he wants to see, the power of jealousy. Plus, literally everything Tiago does is sensual. Even the ordinary act of putting food in one’s mouth is ten times sexier when he does it. I know because I’ve watched him do it several times, and no, it does absolutely nothing for me. Sadly. “He’s the reason we had to delay thirty minutes,” Elaine supplies and I nod,

RORY To say that Carter has avoided me ever since dinner at my father’s would be a huge fucking understatement. Of course he’s been escorting me to work everyday, looming over me like a dark presence, but he only comes out of his room when he needs to grab something something from the kitchen, when he wants to go for a run, or when he goes out—which is extremely rare. I don’t see him at all and it’s starting to make me crazy. Why it eats at me so much, I’m not sure, but there are a lot of possible reasons for that. It may be because he’s the first man I’ve ever met that can resist me so thoroughly, I’d almost lost my confidence completely. It may also be because he’s such an asshole to me. It could also be because he’d made me horny as all fucks in that dark closet then all but tossed me aside like I’m a toy or object easily at his disposal. To use when he wants. Technically, he hadn’t used me. Neither of us had gotten off that day, but he’d put my hands on him, giving m

CARTER “What the fuck is wrong with you?” 

“You!” She screams, stomping her foot like a teenager that’s not being allowed to have her way. “You’re my goddamn problem.” Her outburst draws the eyes of a few people that have left the club in hopes of finding a more discreet location to make out and they stare, curious. The glare I aim at them have them looking away immediately. “I gave you an order, Rory.” I seethe, closing the distance between us in long, measured strides. “Just one fucking order and all you had to do was follow it.” She lifts her chin in defiance but backs up until her back is plastered to the side of my car. I don’t stop until there is not a silver of space between us. Until her tightened nipples are grazing my chest through my shirt with every ragged breath she takes. Lust clouds my vision so thoroughly, I can barely make out the outline of her face through the haze. “I don’t have to follow your orders because I do not answer to you.” Her words come out
