Never Say Never

(Completed)Book 5 of the It Just Happened Series. (This can be read as a stand-alone book, however there is mentions of the characters in the other books as well.)
Ryder Dawson has just come home from his last tour of duty broken and lost. He does not know what to do or where to go.

Josh Harlan is a happy go lucky kind of guy. He is the son of oil tycoon Marshall Harlan. his only insecurities this far is no one loving him for himself not his name.

Fate has brought these two together because of a threat against the Harlan family. With Ryder being hired to guard Josh until the threat is over, is a challenge in itself.

"What the fuck is wrong with you Josh? You do realize you're still in fucking danger!"

Josh's smile falters. For the first time he lets his guard down. "You don't think I fucking know that!" He pushes Ryder where he is slammed into the wall. Shocked by his own strength it gives him empowerment. He can feel himself getting excited.

Ryder on the other hand does not know what to think. Part of him is pissed beyond belief, then there is a part of him that is aroused. No that can't be, but looking at Josh and the way his breath warms his skin. He feels something he promised never to feel again...want and desire.

"I have never..." but Ryder never finishes his sentence because Josh's lips are on his. Instincts tell him to pull away, not to get attached to anyone again. But the sensation he is feeling is beyond his control.

Josh pulls away with a smirk on his face.

"Never say Never Ryder."
