“I wondered how he knew how I liked to be treated during sex, and of course, since it follows Burke was spying on me, maybe he has something.”

“Would you allow me to check on that for you?” I asked, feeling myself bristle thinking of someone Ash trusted filming him or snapping pics of him in bed.

“Of course, but it’s been⁠—”

“So you had no one watching out for you when you were overseas?”

“Nice subject change, and really, if he has video of me in bed with someone and it ends up on the internet, who cares? I’ve been naked in my movies; it’s not like anyone is seeing something they haven’t before.”

“It’s not the same. That’s you stripped bare with a lover, which is far more intimate.”

“I refuse to worry about this.”

“I’m not saying you should worry. I’m saying you let me check for you.”

“You do as you see fit,” he said, sliding his hands over my shoulders. “You are a very protective and possessive man, Mr. Davis.”

“It’s good you noticed that from the start. I wouldn’t want you to be surprised later,” I said, moving so I was looking down at him.

“What?”

“Nothing. I just like looking at you.”

“Don’t take your eyes off me,” he murmured, and I bent and kissed him.

My lips slid over his so perfectly, like they fit, and he opened for me with a small, needy whimper as my tongue slipped inside his mouth.

His arms wrapped around my neck as I stroked and rubbed his tongue with mine. When I rolled him over so he was lying on top of me, he lifted up so he could take a breath.

“You need protection,” I told him because it was heavy on my mind. “I can’t have you out there with no one to keep you safe.”

His lips were red and a bit puffy from my kisses, and he licked them slowly as he stared down into my eyes. “Normally, I would be upset that a man could keep a thought in his head after kisses from me, but you’re worried, and that makes me feel cared about.”

“And? What are you doing about it?”

“I know. I need another full-time bodyguard,” he said, sitting up, then leaning forward, hands on my chest, his interest caught there. “You’re beautiful, you know.”

“Finish your thought.”

“After what happened with Burke, I called Preeya because she now has a security business, and I told her what happened.”

“Preeya sounds awesome.”

“She’s bossy is what she is, and she was so pissed at me.”

“Because why? Because you didn’t listen to her about Burke?”

“Yes.”

“What were her concerns?”

“She didn’t like his work history, that he was only in places for one or two years at a time. I didn’t think that was a big deal. And the thing is, Burke was a great bodyguard for three years. When he first started with me, there were no red flags, but I can also be honest and say I might have missed things because I was so busy, moving from project to project so fast that I didn’t really pay attention.”

“So perhaps you missed his more than professional interest in you.”

“It’s possible, though I can’t really point to anything specific because⁠—”

“You don’t remember.”
