"You really think I'm out here giving this dick to anybody else, beautiful?" She swallowed, watching my hands go to my zipper. I smirked, leaning down, dragging my fingers up her thigh, over her soaked panties. "Look at yourself in the mirror, Jade."

I cupped her face, planting a soft kiss on her beautiful lips. "Don't ever run from me, baby," I said softly, letting my thumb trace her jaw. "I love the chase." Her jaw tightened, her hands coming up to try and move mine. "Stop calling me baby, Ezra," she snapped, eyes flashing. I couldn't help but grin, dropping my voice to something low and dark. "Ohhh, now my baby has a problem with me calling her baby?" She shot me a glare, but I just tucked her hair behind her ear, pressing another kiss to her lips-gentler this time, lingering. "You don't get to tell me what to call you, baby." I leaned in closer, brushing my nose against hers. "You're whatever the fuck I call you."

And she's a painful experience. When the girl sets her eyes onto something she wants she doesn't stop until she gets it. No matter who she has to bribe, manipulate, or seduce. She wanted her body guard who was way too old for her. Even if that meant she had to risk putting him in danger, she didn't think she'd want him long anyway. Everett Leon Hayes. The ex Navy seal now renounced bodyguard. Usually he was brooding, self-controlled, and nonchalant; however, a certain girl sparks a change.

But she's just too sinful to resist. ୨ৎ ୨ৎ ୨ৎ "How about we negotiate a deal?" Tiana lifted her chin up high and held her chest out confidently. I let my scared right eyebrow raise up.

Reminding her along the way of the promise he had made to her father and himself. Everett doesn't do monogamy. Or does he just do her? He was Navy.
