She arches her back, pressing her tits into my chest. “Zero…no one.”

Time slams to a screeching halt and I pull back in shock. “No one? As in, ever?”

Trapping her lower lip between her teeth, Daria nods.

Jesus Christ, she’s a fucking virgin?!

Everything I’ve just learned explodes into a barrage of newer, hotter fantasies of Daria Copeland, rendering me speechless as my brain and cock fight for control. But the duchess takes my silence and retreat as something else entirely.

Like the flip of a switch, she goes from soft and wanton to cold and distant. “I think it’s time for you to leave, bodyguard. Let me go.”

It’s the last fucking thing I want to do, but I’d never force her for any reason. I release her wrists and take a step back. I open my mouth to make things right, but my boss’s voice crackles over my comms unit with orders to report as backup for the dukes’ downtown publicity tour.

Fuck. I hate the thought of leaving things like this, but I don’t have a choice. Pressing the button on my earpiece, I tell him I’ll be right there, giving me a couple minutes at most. Pulling the earbud out to avoid another interruption, I try again. “Dar—”

“Mr. Blackstone, we may very well be on this side of my bedroom door, but you are still in this family’s employ, and as such, you’re to address me with the respect my title deserves. Now go.”

I barely restrain a growl. I’m aggravated that everything went to shit, and I’m pissed as hell we were interrupted because of that asshat’s visit.

“Fine,” I bite out. “We’ll pick this up later because believe me, your grace, this isn’t over.”

“Believe me, bodyguard, nothing was ever started.”

Erasing the space between us, I use every inch of my towering height and innate dominance to test that claim. I watch as her breath catches, her pupils swallow the blue of her irises, and her pulse visibly races in her neck.

Assurance tugs my mouth into a cocky grin. “Oh, Duchess, it very much has. In fact, I doubt even your army of toys will be able to satisfy you now that you’ve had my fingers a breath away from plunging into your sweet cunt. But go ahead and try; see if they can still make you come.” Dipping my head to her ear, I whisper her words from earlier back to her. “I double-dog dare you.”
