Page 34 of Hired By My Rich Baby Daddy

The older guy instantly threw both hands into the air with his scary ass.

“Aight, man. Damn. I was just talking.”

Securitytook one slow step forward. “I don’t give a fuck what you was doing. You heard her tell you no. So now I’m telling you to take yo’ dumbass on somewhere before I break yo’ jaw. Move!”

He shouted the last word and damn near made me jump. The older man literally ran off like a bitch.

I watched until he disappeared between two parked cars before finally letting out the breath I’d been holding.

Silence settled between me andMr. Security.

I placed one hand on my hip before looking up at him.

“You know…” I tilted my head. “You really didn’t have to do all that.”

One corner of his mouth lifted. “Damn…that’s the thanks I get for saving your life?”

I couldn’t help but laugh. “You didn’t save my life.”

One of his eyebrows lifted. “I didn’t?”

“No.” I shifted the brown paper bag against my hip before pointing toward my driver’s-side door. “Trust me, I was about to reach inside my car, and he wasn’t gon’ be standing here too much longer.”

For a second, he didn’t say anything. He just looked at me.

Then he laughed.

Mmm… and he had perfect teeth.

“Oh, shit.” He said, still grinning. “My bad, lil’ mama. I thought you was a damsel in distress and shit.”

“Nope. I don’t play them games.” I shrugged like it wasn’t nothing. “People mistake kindness for weakness, and that’s where they mess up. I’m small, but I go to the gun range faithfully.”

“I respect that.”

Something about the way he said it made me tingle, and I got lost in the sauce. My eyes roamed all over his body again, stopping at his crotch for a moment.

And honestly? It looked heavy.

“Wassup?” he asked with a small smirk. “You sizing me up?”

Heat crept into my cheeks. “I wasn’t.”

“Nah, yo’ lil’ ass is lying.”

I tilted my head and giggled. “Maybe I am.”

He held his hand out. “I’m PB.”

I looked from his face down to his hand. “PB?”

“Yeah.”

I slipped my hand into his, expecting a quick shake.

Instead, his fingers wrapped around mine for a second longer than normal.

I smiled. “The only letter you’re missing is a J.”
