Adrien's Bodyguard Novels & Stories

A husky, manly tone booms from behind me, making me glance over my shoulders. It's the tall guy from the rooftop. He ignores me completely, shaking hands with my father like they just struck a business deal. But last I checked, dad’s more of a politician than a business man so this gesture has me curious. “Adrian, this is Kade Mercer. Your bodyguard,” Dad announces and I almost burst out with laughter. “I'm sorry, what? Since when do I need a bodyguard?” I ask, frowning at the development. “Since now. I’ve been receiving threat messages and I'm not about to take any chances. He will follow you everywhere from now on. Got it?” Dad growls, glaring at me in a way that silences me even if I have

Another guard added, “He’s gone now. No trace. Like he was never there.” I felt frustration build in my chest. Someone had wanted this man silenced before he could tell us more. They had planned it perfectly. I clenched my fists and walked back inside. The sniper had disappeared without leaving a single clue behind. Lucien had the bleeding under control. The man sat up a little, his face pale but his eyes clear. He looked at Betty first, then at the rest of us. “My name is Adrian,” he said, his voice weak but steady. “I was one of Betty’s mother’s most trusted protectors before the Crown Bloodline was destroyed.”

“Bro, we should stop,” Lilian said nervously. But Adrian didn’t stop. As Adrian got closer, Jeremy and Lucas recognized him. “It is the big little entrepreneur Adrian Claimer,” Jeremy said. “Move aside.” The bodyguards moved away. Adrian came over and stood before them. They did not shake hands or exchange smiles. The tension was tangible. Lilian was sweating even though the weather was still cool out here. “What brought you here, young lion?” Lucas asked with a smile.

I immediately moved my hand away, my chest heaving with the exertion and the thrill of being in here, alone with him, away from all the titles and ranks that divided us. "I knew you would stop," he whispered, his voice low. It was the voice he used whenever he was alone with me, and hell, it confused me and gave me hope at the same time. He took a step forward. "Preparing for the ball?" I swallowed hard. "I am a bodyguard. The Alpha’s bodyguard. I am not to be concerned with finding romance." His eyes met mine. "I saw your eyes earlier. It twitched a little once my mate was mentioned. Would it be too much work to protect two people?"

Liam’s two bodyguards were already moving aggressively toward Navia. Joanna stood protectively in front of Navia. “The person behind Miss Harrison is—” “It’s me!” A voice suddenly rang out. Everyone froze. Turning around, they saw Adrian striding toward them with several men behind him. Without hesitation, Adrian waved his hand. “You two—pin those bodyguards down.” “Yes, sir.” The men moved instantly. Before Liam’s bodyguards could react, they were already restrained and forced backward. Adrian barely spared them a glance before hurrying toward Navia.

Jolene was drawn to his handsomeness. "Leon! Leon!" I called and saw him standing with my family, why was he standing with them?. "Who are you, young man?" he asked, before Leon could answer he felt a little hand drag him back and a tiny body stood in front of him, it was like she was trying to protect him from her family. "He is my bodyguard." She said. "What! He’s the guy that beat up my men, mom." Jolene protested. "Nice to meet you all, I'm Leon." he bowed.

Leah didn't argue, but she rolled her eyes in annoyance. ***** "Are you home yet?" said Adrian when Leah entered the room. Leah walked over to Adrian and pinched Adrian's cheek in exasperation. "Your escorts are truly amazing!" said Leah half annoyed. Adrian was surprised, "What's wrong? Everything is going well right?" Adrian asked, looking at Leah in confusion. Leah put her bag on the table and then lay down next to Adrian. "Yes, very smooth! But your bodyguard is annoying! I mean, he even forbade me to shake hands with people!" rambled Leah could not understand.

Adrian announced as she peeked out of his back for all the time she was hiding behind him, clutching on to his shirt as a Koala. "Open the gate," Adrian ordered a guard who was guarding the cell gate of Vincent, he was looking so lethal with a large scar on his eye. He was almost an inch taller than Adrian but bulkiest than him, which was making him scarier. That guard gazed at Adrian then Elysian and she hurriedly looked away. "Hurry up, we don't have much time." Adrian remained him and cover Elysian by his body, for he too noticed that the guard was looking at her with suspicion.

she replied, straightening up. Lucas entered the room, a serious expression on his face. "We need to talk," he said, taking a seat beside her on the bed. Adrianne's heart started racing. "What is it?" she asked, her voice trembling. Lucas took a deep breath. "Your father is sending a bodyguard to keep you safe," he said, watching her closely for her reaction. Adrianne's eyes widened in shock. "What? Why?" she demanded. Lucas explained the situation, and despite her protests, Adrianne knew there was no way around it. "I understand," she said, trying to keep her voice steady. "But I don't like the idea of having someone following me around all day."

A good shower and heavy breakfast is all I need. Patrick is already gone when I return from the bathroom. No surprise here; coming and going like the wind is his style lately. I change and head straight downstairs, hoping that Butler Lucas has had the cook prepare something decent to cure this damn hangover. Reaching the kitchen door, I suddenly hold my steps at the sight of my bodyguard standing near the fridge, uncapping the bottle of drinking water after a seemingly intense workout he's just finished. The sweat smears his skin, his curly hair drenched, the muscles of his strong biceps rippling tensely, and that sexy Adam's apple tips as the water slides in his throat. My breath quickens.
