Yet it isn’t a lie.
She blinks.
“You’ve hired us to keep you safe.Right now, you aren’t safe,” I clarify, even if that’s not all.
My mother raised me to respect women and keep them safe.I’m sure that’s why Liam and I were drawn to the military.
“Aren’t you a little worried?”I ask, frowning, wondering if I should sleep on the fucking sofa.
I was going to get a puppy last week.Now I’m glad I didn’t.
“No.You said there is a team outside at night, right?”
Yeah.
There is.
Taking a deep breath through my nose, I nod.“Yes.I’ll be back in the morning.We’ll discuss the security system again then.”
“Jayden, how do I know I can trust the people watching my home on camera?”
I glance around the room and spot the cameras in the corner.
I understand her concerns.
“Guess it’s the price you pay for all of this.”I hold out my hands.
“Money.”
“Yeah.”I shrug and hate the look she gives me.
Anger.
Resentment.
Except it’s not me she’s angry with; it’s society.I don’t make the rules.But I will keep her safe.She can hate me all she likes.
“See you tomorrow.”I start to walk out.
“I’ll send you the code to get through the gate.”Tiffany says, and I turn to thank her, but she’s right behind me.
Her soft body bumps into mine.I catch her arms, and my cock thickens as she lets out a feminine little gasp.
“I got ya,” I rasp.
“Yeah, you do.”Her voice is barely audible.
My gaze brushes over her lips, the arch of her brows, the soft lashes which close momentarily as she draws in a jagged breath.
Why do I feel those words mean something different?
And why am I still holding her?
I let my hands fall away, then step back.
I take one more fill of her luscious body and promise, when I return in the morning, I’ll be more in control.
