The Bodyguard That Broke My Heart

"Fake scream like that again, and I'll have you screaming my name in a different way," he purrs right next to my ear.

My breathe hitches in my throat, as his words repeat over and over again in my mind.

In a different way.

He's pinning me against the wall with his body, barely giving me any space. His muscular arms are boxing me in, trapping me within his grasp.

There's no way to escape.

So, against my better judgement, I push my body unbelievably closer to his. So close, that I can hear his heartbeat thundering against his chest as his breathing gets notably heavier.

"Careful, princess" he grits out, struggling to suppress the desire that is building up inside of him. "Don't start what you can't finish" he continues.

The words are out of my mouth before I can even stop them. "Oh, I would never" I lie innocently.
