I dragged my nails lightly over his chest, slow, my eyes locked on his. "You told me I was in control, remember?" My voice dipped lower, sultry, daring. I leaned close enough that my lips brushed his ear. "Then say it, baby. Say you're my bitch." A dark laugh rumbled from his lips, low and sinful, the kind that made my stomach flip. His eyes didn't waver, didn't blink. "I'm your bitch," he said...calm, but hot as fuck. The words rolled off his tongue like he'd been waiting to say them, and God, the way he said it almost made me melt right there.

When Emery Starr witnesses a brutal crime, her life changes in an instant, and the only thing standing between her and the people hunting her is Jaxon Hale - the intimidating, fiercely protective bodyguard assigned to keep her alive. At a new college and under a new identity, Emery is supposed to blend in and wait for the justice system to do its job. But pretending to be normal is harder than it sounds when panic attacks haunt her nights, fear follows her everywhere, and the six-foot-five man guarding her starts becoming the only person who makes her feel safe. *** Jax has one rule: protect Emery at all costs. Getting emotionally attached was never part of the plan. But between late-night study sessions, whispered reassurances, campus parties, and the quiet moments where Emery slowly begins to heal, the line between protector and something far more dangerous starts to blur. Because the people after Emery haven't forgotten about her. And when the past finally catches up to them, Jax will have to decide how far he's willing to go to save the girl he was never supposed to love. Note: This story is completed and I would love to look into traditional publishing! Please comment on chapter 1 if you're willing to be a beta reader ☺️

In which I fall in love with my brother's best friend. ***** "Don't pretend like you don't feel anything." His voice is low, sending shivers down my spine. "What do you mean?" "You know damn well what I mean." "I don't know what you're talking about." I pretend to ignore him, flipping some pages in my book. "Come on. I have all these assignments waiting. Aren't you supposed to teach me tonight?" "It depends on what you want me to teach." He smirks, his voice sounding even more dangerous. ***** I thought that my brother was the most popular guy in school, but as soon as I step into my university life, I realize how wrong I was. Meet Vaughn Cooper, his best friend. The guy is the epitome of every girl's dream. Godlike handsome. The quarterback. He's got the looks, and he's got the brain. Come on, he's got the scholarship to one of the most prestigious universities in the country, while I have just barely passed the entrance examination after long years of struggle during high school.

My drunk tongue blurted out. "Shut up, I'm just keeping you from falling face down in the toilet." He whispered in my ear and I felt his breath against my skin. "Yeah right. You are soooo hugging me." I teased him knowing he was indeed hugging me, but he was too stubborn to admit it. "No, I'm not." He said, pulling me even closer to him before curving his lips against the skin behind my ear. He's such a goner... ❄️ NOTE: 👀 please ignore the way the first ten chapters are written. First book ever and that's noticeable. It gets so much better after those I promise.
