All Chapters of The Bodyguard's Obsession: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

ADRIANA~~~We arrive at the hospital half an hour later. The veterinary hospital is on the east side of LA, just a few distances from the main highway. I step out from the car, then lean down with a frown when Nick remains seated. "Aren't you coming with me?" I inquire. "I have a few errands to run."My suspicion arose a second time that afternoon. "What errands?" I prod. Nick's expression doesn't change, even as I watch it closely. His voice is casual as he answers. "I have a life, cupcake. I told you I work for Don Romero. I run errands for him.""I know. I just want to know what kind of errands." I insist. "Your dad is a mafia don, isn't he?" Nick asks, sidestepping my initial question. I nod. "Yes, he is." "And you know the kind of business he deals in, don't you?"I nod again. "That should give you an idea of the errands I run for Romero.""Is it a messy job?"Nick shrugs. "It's messy sometimes." Then he smiles at me. "I won't be gone long. If you're done, give me a c

ADRIANA ~~~ For a moment, I try to convince myself that I'm imagining things. There's no way my stalker followed me all the way from Australia to Los Angeles. There's no way he knows I came to LA. Maybe this is just some random stranger with a resemblance to the man who has been secretly stalking me for several months. I almost believe it, until he takes a step towards me. I take one back instinctively. Then I see it. Concealed perfectly in his hand is a knife. Even from a distance, the blade gleams. I don't stop to wonder how he found me here. I whirl around and break into a run, heading towards the large open area behind the hospital. He follows me. I can hear the heavy pounding of his footsteps, the soft whoosh of his breath as he gains on me. For some strange reason, the hospital's packing lot is totally empty. There's no one around. I try to scream, but that familiar ball of fear has settled in my throat, cutting off my air. The only sound I can let out is a hoarse, whe

ADRIANA~~~Pablo looks like a drug addict, the kind who snorts cocaine for a living. The few minutes I spend sitting beside him and listening to him tells me that he's an arrogant bastard with a massive ego. He mocked most of the guests, laughing at how rich they looked when they were poor, miserable paupers. Fortunately, he works in a different vet hospital and I'm so relieved. I don't think I can stand working beside him for an hour. I look away from him, my eyes instantly falling on Nick who is sitting across from us. Nick's gaze is on me, but each time Pablo strokes my knee, his eyes darken just a little bit more until his handsome face is twisted into a deadly scowl. "Who is he to you? Your boyfriend?" Pablo asks suddenly. I tear my gaze away from Nick and frown at him. "That's my bodyguard.""That explains why he keeps shooting death stares at me." Pablo laughs. "Tell him to get a grip. I'm not trying to kidnap you, or something.""He's just being protective." "So you're

ADRIANA~~~Every coherent thought disappears from my brain the moment I feel Nick's lips down there. I shove the heel of my palm between my teeth and bite hard on it, stifling the loud cries threatening to slip out. Nick is merciless. He doesn't just taste. He devours. His tongue swirls like a murder weapon along my core, dragging me so close to my orgasm before releasing me.He holds my trembling thighs apart, grips the hem of my gown bunching around my hips. In a swift movement, he jerks me forward, right into his face. I let out a yelp. I grab a fistful of his hair and start to grind against his mouth, but he stops me. He lifts his head, slowly licking his lips. "Why'd you stop?" I whimper. "I'm in control here, cupcake. Not you. You came here to be ruined, didn't you?" I gulp and slowly nod. "Use your voice.""Yes."He stands and pulls me up. The cold air slices into my skin, making me shiver. But I hardly notice. My full attention is on Nick as he stands above me, his fin

ADRIANA ~~~ Nick notices my shocked expression as I hang up. "What's wrong?" I whip my head towards him, my eyes wide with panic. "Get dressed! My dad is coming up here." I jump to my feet and grab my gown, pulling it over my head quickly. My bra follows next as I slip it on. To my horror, Nick just leans back against the chair and shuts his eyes. "Nick!" I shriek. He laughs and finally gets up, fluidly pulling on his clothes. In a matter of seconds, he's fully dressed, while I’m still struggling with the straps of my gown. "Come here." He pulls me close, hands tight around my waist. "Let me help you." Tingles erupt on my skin at his touch. I shut my eyes tightly, trying to ignore it as he helps me fix the straps and zips up the gown. Then he leans down and drops a kiss on my shoulder. I step away instantly, my skin burning from his lips. "Calm down, cupcake." He laughs. "You're worried for nothing." "My dad could step through that elevator at any given moment. I
